James Comey has an Oprah Winfrey Moment


A Federal Grand Jury in Alexandria, Virginia reviewed the evidence and issued a criminal indictment against James Comey.

In what is a bizarre moment, the former director of the F.B.I.  decides it is entirely appropriate to "make his case" on Instagram.  Am I the only one who finds this distasteful?

If "fear is the tool of a tyrant",  what exactly does this mean with regard to a Grand Jury which has been lawfully convened to consider the merits of a criminal case? Are members of the jury tyrants, or are they merely citizens engaged in civic duty?

"But I'm not afraid. And I hope you're not either."   Comey's voice drops slightly.  Not quite to the level of the infamous "Biden whisper", which was used when our former POTUS was trying to make a point.  But it also has the cadence of someone speaking to a grandchild.  "Are you afraid of the big bad wolf?  I'm not afraid."   He ends with, "And I'm innocent."  Did anyone else catch the slight nasal snort? Listen to it again with your eyes closed. 

His Instagram chat is very much in line with the Oprahfication of American culture.

Let's not forget that Grand Juries are seated once a month in Alexandria, Virginia.  There is nothing special, nor targeting regarding the indictment of James Comey. This is a  routine legal process which involves members of the court and a panel of ordinary citizens.

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

Charlie Kirk Memorial: Live Blog: The Largest Church Service in Human History

Live Blogging:  Charlie Kirk Memorial Blackfoot is comfortably snoozing in a different time zone.  So I will go ahead and start the post.  Undoubtedly, when I return to the desktop, Blackfoot will have added a few thoughts and I will enter the arena again. Security.  The word floated across my consciousness several times yesterday.  The perimeter of two stadiums and parking lots must be secured for the Charlie Kirk Memorial.  Within full envelope surveillance are tricks of the trade which most of us are unaware of - in blissful manner. Problematic, is not only an estimated crowd of 100,000 souls, but the abbreviated timeline to secure the venue.  We had a friend who worked full-time providing security for the Dallas Cowboys Stadium when it was in Irving, Texas.  When the team hosted the Super Bowl in 2011, several alphabet agencies were involved in securing the space for weeks in advance.  Every can of nacho sauce, toilet paper, and toothpick...

Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered. Proverbs 28:26  (ESV) Robert Westman went on a killing spree and murdered two children and injured eighteen others - mainly children  6-15 years of age.  This man hunted within the safe pasture of the church.  He turned a place of worship into a killing field of the innocent.   I have worked within (locked) childhood, adolescent, and adult psychiatric units.  And when dealing with a child, there is no more difficult work than healing of the young mind.  What was I to do, with the five year old boy who would back up to the door of his room and try to sodomize himself on the door knob? True story.  And it still breaks my heart. President Biden, and his nonsensical wife Jill, strongly applauded this social disorder (transgenderism) - this against the very natural order  disaster -  which was brought into existence by wicked educators and brainwashin...
