Big Blitz

He’s done. Not running in 24.

Wow - spot on: How All of Our Core Institutions Lit Their Own Credibility on Fire One thing the Biden Administration wants you to know is that it takes enforcing the law very seriously. It is a defender of the “rule of law,” we are told. It is especially devoted to the law when it comes to gun crimes supposedly. In fact, Biden’s DOJ proudly promotes its handling of gun cases on its website, as part of a much larger initiative, which is supposedly intended to combat gun violence. They want you to believe that lying on federal gun forms is a very serious crime. That's why, earlier this year, the ATF put out a statement entitled, "Federal Prosecutors Aggressively Pursuing Those Who Lie in Connection With Firearm Transactions." And it's why a few weeks ago, Democrats in Congress held hearings featuring anti-gun activists like Rob Wilcox. That hearing was derailed, though, when a congressman asked Wilcox a simple and obvious question: Why isn't Hunter Biden going to prison, given that he lied on a federal form about his drug use and his Navy discharge, to obtain a firearm? Democrats in the hearing room didn't like that question. By now, you've probably heard how the Biden DOJ managed to square this circle. Yesterday, after a five-year criminal investigation, the DOJ announced that Hunter will not go to prison for a year for lying on a federal gun form. In fact, he won't even spend a day in prison. Instead, Hunter Biden will go into a "diversion" program. That's remarkable not just because it's an obviously unfair result, but also because "diversion" programs like that — according to the DOJ's own guidelines — are unavailable to any defendant who has ever brandished a firearm while committing a felony. As National Review has reported, "publicly available videos" from Hunter Biden's laptop "show him brandishing the weapon while high on crack cocaine, which is also a felony." Needless to say, Hunter Biden was never charged with brandishing his firearm or smoking crack. He also wasn't charged with reckless endangerment after his handgun wound up in a trash bin across the street from a high school, even though that seems like a pretty big public safety risk. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) noted that prosecutors could have easily brought these cases, and probably many others: "Evidence supported other charges that would have rendered him presumptively ineligible for diversion." But the DOJ buried all of that. The DOJ also let Hunter Biden off the hook on tax evasion. He's getting no jail time for failing to pay taxes for two years. Several former Assistant U.S. Attorneys — including Andrew Weissmann and Renato Mariotti — think that checks out. "These charges are rarely brought," Mariotti wrote on Twitter yesterday. He added, "If anything, it looks like Hunter Biden received harsh treatment." It took all of five minutes for conservative writer Mike Cernovich to debunk that, by citing Renato Mariotti's own work — including the time Mariotti pursued a five-year prison sentence for defendants who failed to pay taxes on less than $2 million in income. And that wasn't an unusual case. The typical sentence for tax fraud offenders, according to the DOJ's own statistics, is over 16 months in prison. And these are often people who, unlike Hunter Biden, didn't abuse the public's trust by selling a politician's influence overseas. We're not going to spend any more time on the hypocrisy that's on display in Hunter Biden's case. We're not going to go into how, on his first day in office, Joe Biden put a law partner of Hunter Biden's defense attorney in charge of the criminal division of the DOJ. We could spend all day talking about stuff like that. The special treatment couldn't be more obvious, so there's no point belaboring it. What's really interesting is that if you dig a little deeper, this story is much bigger than Hunter Biden, and indeed it's much bigger than politics. And if you doubt that, watch this report from ABC's top Washington correspondent. Pay close attention to how the reporter contradicts himself in real time, apparently without realizing it: If you can filter out the dumb talking points from "The View" lady, about how all of this totally vindicates the DOJ, then that's actually a fascinating clip. The senior Washington correspondent at ABC News begins by explaining there's no evidence whatsoever that the Biden family is corrupt. But he ends the segment by admitting there's something fishy about that fat diamond that somehow found its way from China into Hunter Biden's possession. Later he goes on to concede it's weird that Biden was making tens of thousands of dollars a month for a no-show job at a Ukrainian energy company, and selling his paintings for ludicrous sums of money to unknown foreign buyers, et cetera. Put aside whatever you think of the politics of all this. Maybe you love Hunter Biden for some reason. Ask yourself this: What's the effect on millions of Americans watching a news report as incoherent and poorly conceived as that one? It's not just fraudulent reporting. It's obviously fraudulent reporting. Even if you're a diehard Democrat, that has to resonate with you, for the wrong reasons. It's not just that the DOJ is cutting the president's son a break. What we're seeing — what's now undeniable — is that the media is apparently so inept that they can't even lie about it properly. Even ABC's highest-ranking correspondent in Washington just can't pull it off to save his life. This gets to a much broader issue, which is a lot bigger than Hunter Biden — and that issue is the level of trust Americans have in the core institutions of this country. Every poll shows that trust is plummeting, and it's not hard to see why. Everywhere you look, you're being subjected to propaganda that would make North Korean state media blush. They're treating you like you're a complete idiot. It's relentless. Just hours after the DOJ announced that Hunter Biden won't face any punishment for violating federal law, the Pentagon revealed yet another "accounting error," which means we get to spend $6 billion more in Ukraine. Imagine that. And on top of that — also on the very same day that the DOJ announced Hunter Biden wouldn't go to prison — we learned that the plan is to put Donald Trump on trial prior to the 2024 election. How is CNN covering that? They ran this headline: "Another historic week in the investigation and prosecution of Donald Trump." Contrast that with another CNN headline from this week, on the same kind of prosecution happening in Russia: "Russian opposition leader Navalny faces decades behind bars as new trial starts." Translation: it's good when we throw our opposition leaders in jail. It's bad when Russia does it. If it's hard to believe anyone's falling for this anymore, that's because no one is falling for it anymore. Every major institution in this country now flaunts the "norms" they pretended for so long to care about. And that matters, because the "democratic system" that the left pretends to deeply cherish doesn't work if the people lose all trust and faith in the system itself. If nobody believes in any of this, it all falls apart. People notice when the authorities imprison good samaritans like Daniel Penny, even as arsonists and rapists go free. They notice when the DOJ sends a SWAT team to raid the home of a father who protected his child from an abortion clinic volunteer, while delaying investigations into attacks on Christian pregnancy centers. —Matt Walsh blog

I just want to know why our D “ain’t the Ravens.” If the Bengals thought that…..I guess that’s why Frazier ain’t here. With all the cap and assets used on that side of the ball (last years skeleton crew D actually proves you shouldn’t do that) we should be as feared as the Ravens. Not just feast on the Mike Whites of the league.

It’s almost like this country needs competent governors that have had ZERO connections to the Deep State DC swamp with a track record of working for ALL Americans - especially the middle class - to run this country.

He just needs to get there. If he can freaking get there a ton is alleviated - and his resume looks extremely stellar. Would at least remove the stink of 13 seconds.

Here is an article showing that there is no difference between either when it comes to record between 2015 and 2019. Here is my issue with this. Belichick inflates the numbers somewhat. And by design the league should be overall around .500 no matter who the HC is - an offensive guy or defensive guy. Since 2020. Arians, McVay and Reid 2x have won SBs. The goal is winning SBs. McD can absolutely win one. He’s a great HC. You just better be able to keep guys buying in if you go into year 8, 9, 10 without even an AFC title let alone a SB. It’s almost unprecedented a guy coaching that long offensive or defensive guy stays on the job. BB and Pete Carrol are the only 2 defensive head coaches to win the SB since 2009. Worth noting - BB lost and was out coached by Doug Pederson and Tom Coughlin - was known as a disciplinarian guy - but his background was offense. The Seahawks - maybe they win another if someone gets on the head set and tells the OC this better go to Lynch. I’m also considering the Manning led Broncos v Panthers a SB an anomaly. That Broncos team was ridiculous and Manning was the last piece it needed. Worth noting it’s defensive HC looked like they had no plan for Cam as he was getting destroyed. The Super Bowl is the goal now every year and the data says offensive guys or the greatest QB of all time win. This is not a knock on McD it’s just reality. He better get the OC position right. A big year by the offense this season and Dorsey is good as gone.

Omg

Author of the “Another Republican” thread that he posts in as soon as there is a lib crisis.

Weren’t they telling the press they heard banging sounds?

Banana Republic

Not what it says here Ben: “I talked to some people in Buffalo on the condition of anonymity and they said that, ‘Publicly, we’re not moving him. Privately, we would consider it under the right circumstances,’” Albright said.

OP, I mean if Diggs isn’t publicly sulking I’d be as optimistic and thrilled as anyone with the roster - outside of caution with WR2. Sorry but this last week is showing there is cause for concern. Serious concern. I still think they’re a SB front runner. But I need to see 14 in camp and maybe actually clarify some things because as Captain what he’s doing is just unacceptable. And what you’re also detecting OP is a fan base that has not only seen the talent gap narrow in the AFC but also are own division. I think it’s normal for some angst especially after the way the last 2 playoffs ended.

But they’re quoting Benjamin Albright from a podcast interview - that isn’t nothing. It absolutely could be nothing. If you believe after Diggs exit from our last game, 2 heated meetings with management that led him to being excused right before mandatory practice, the HC bizarre public explanation, that everything is all good now then there is nothing to this.

Agreed unfortunately this ***t sandwich is entirely the players making stemming from the last game to now late June with a “no show/excused” from practice and subsequently letting your QB take all the bullets. The Bills could defuse that talk if they chose they don’t have to say anything imo.

Diggs could just come out and say he absolutely has not requested a trade. Considering I’m told everything is fine.

Their advanced numbers aren’t significantly different considering Elam played 13 games vs McDuffies 11. And not sure if McDuffie ever saw a WR 1 let alone WR 2. Higgins should have seen 15 targets in the AFCCG but no one wants to talk about how bad Burrow choked. EDIT I guess he saw 11 - half must have all been in the 4th quarter I remember thinking where is he?

It’s unfortunate he’s being coached to not do the things Sauce does routinely. They put the flags away in January fellas - I’d much rather him not sweat too much his hands.

Sauce Gardner week 1. National TV. Should get real fun if Diggs has 2 targets at halftime. Dorsey has 2 months plus to figure this out. Move Diggs around. Make sure he gets 8 targets minimum. Do not shy away from Sauce. But don’t expect 9 catches for 125. That ain’t happening. He’s the best CB in the game already. If we win, it’s a massive “see, let’s all relax and ball like we can” moment.

Yea unfortunately I agree. Something is wrong. From the final game. To Diggs silence all off season. To Diggs not showing up er given permission to leave after TWO DAYS of heated meetings. To Allen twisting himself into a pretzel to almost defend Diggs and say how much he loves him. Sorry but you don’t pull all this crap over freaking targets. That’s ridiculously easy to address and fix.

Spot on. They redefined normal discussions with any foreign country during the transition that happens all the time and even when you’re not running (you think Newsome isn’t talking to the EU, Canada, Mexico right now) into “collusion” or conspiracy lol. Everything you’ve seen since 2016 is a sham set up by Holder and Obama. That doesn’t get the scrutiny that a FISA warrant obtained against a U.S. citizen running for President - who to them needed to be taken down from day 1 Using the coercion of Silicon Valley and the Deep State. Then we’re going to LOCKDOWN EARTH because nothing is working. Then we’re going to rig 2020 by changing all the election laws - and allow the “correct” protests and censor and silence all opposition. And they wonder how in the world could Trump voters or anyone for that matter be furious.

My God you people: STATEMENT: U.S. Senate Report Confirms Trump Campaign Colluded With Russia, CAP’s Neera Tanden Says Washington, D.C. — Today, the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee issued a report finding that the Trump presidential campaign chairman’s interaction with Russian intelligence officials during the 2016 election posed a “grave counterintelligence threat.” In response, Neera Tanden, president and CEO of the Center for American Progress, issued the following statement: This report confirms that President Donald Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 election. It confirms the worst suspicions about Trump’s relationship with Russia, filling in the holes left in the report from former special counsel Robert Mueller. As Trump excuses Russian President Vladimir Putin placing bounties on U.S. troops and Russia continues to interfere in our democracy to aid Trump’s reelection, this report makes clear that there is no such thing as a coincidence with Trump and Russia. https://www.americanprogress.org/press/statement-u-s-senate-report-confirms-trump-campaign-colluded-russia-caps-neera-tanden-says/ ….Putin wants Trump to win and appears to be seeking to undermine the legitimacy of our election. ….it will be up to American voters to decide when and how cooperation with foreign actors during a presidential election crosses the line. Trump's activities to date are not appropriate. https://www.nbcnews.com/think/amp/ncna1237743 Omg Putin wants Trump to win! Inappropriate! What a scandal! Another foreign leader has an interest who wins in America! They used social media to do so - allegedly. Also - this is fine: Barack Obama: Brexit would put UK ‘back of the queue’ for trade talks US president, visiting London, says ‘part of being friends is being honest’ as he lays out perils of leave vote in EU referendum Barack Obama has warned that the UK would be at the “back of the queue” in any trade deal with the US if the country chose to leave the EU, as he made an emotional plea to Britons to vote for staying in. https://amp.theguardian.com/politics/2016/apr/22/barack-obama-brexit-uk-back-of-queue-for-trade-talks Oh……also: NGO connected to Obama’s 2008 campaign used U.S. tax dollars trying to oust Netanyahu …..the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) has released a report today confirming allegations that an NGO with connections to President Obama’s 2008 campaign used U.S. taxpayer dollars attempting to oust Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2015. President Obama has had the worst relationship of any U.S. president with the elected prime minister of the Jewish State. https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2016/07/12/ngo-connected-to-obamas-2008-campaign-used-u-s-tax-dollars-trying-to-oust-netanyahu/ You people are a joke.

What she asks and how she does at the 1:20 second mark - I caught it immediately and Tucker commented on it - is everything that is disgusting about this country’s so called journalists in the MSM. ”While there’s no ties to you….” ”There is something personal…” What a f…ing joke these people are. In their world they are already full North Korea. They just aren’t ever at risk of going to a prison or labor camp. But you will. They’ll make up charges. They'll make up crimes. They'll censor you. They’ll get you fired. They’ll get you cancelled. All thru the power of the Federal Government. Brain dead libs think because we boycott Target or Bud Light or a Dodgers game, that it’s the same thing. It isn’t, that’s why they’re brain dead.

Their roster is better then the Jets but I’m not sure after what we’ve done this off season it’s better then us. They have the Hill/Waddle combo and that’s what makes it even close imo. I really can only confidently say Miami’s DL is better then ours - not much better but it’s better. Ramsey is there for the pay day and weather. Their secondary is younger then ours I’m not sure better. Are their RBs better then ours? Idk I guess? The reason they were in that game at Buffalo last year is because we were God awful against Mostert. We allowed 188 yards on the ground total. Thanks for all your service here Tremaine btw. Appreciated. But our backup scrub secondary and D minus Von and a banged up Groot held - outside of like a 70 yard play to Waddle that was 1/3 of Tua’s passing yards that day. Btw a Tua injury away from bad? They are a Terron Armstead injury away from being bad - and that’s more likely. Allen, who apparently doesn’t count for these rankings but every other QB does - threw for 305 yards and 4 TDS. Rushed for 77 more. Good luck Fangio. I remember Josh shredding your Denver D with Jake Kumerow a few years ago.
