Wednesday’s Wicked Witch Behind the Throne Open Comments

Anita Dunn speaking to students at an American university in 2009.  It is appalling.

Jill Biden stays close to her husband and guards him like a Rottweiler. But she doesn’t possess the skills, the background or knowledge to keep the Biden charade going. This job has always belonged to another woman, Anita Dunn, a long time DC operator and player in the Obama White House.

The Biden administration has always been run almost exclusively by hard-core, seasoned leftist women which should come as no surprise to any observer. Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice, Avril Haines, Lisa Monaco and a whole conga line of other females.

Darren Beattie at Revolver has already done the hard work for me on this story.

The “big gun” running the “Joe Show” behind the scenes is actually this domineering woman…

Make no mistake, Jill Biden is running the show. But she’s not the only dominatrix whipping Biden into shape. There’s another leather-bound lady who’s controlling the “Joe Show,” and her nickname is the “brawler-in-chief.” Her real name is Anita Dunn, and she’s the savagely controlling woman “bodyguard” who is guarding and guiding everything behind the scenes. As a matter of fact, Anita Dunn is the woman who came up with the cringeworthy “Dark Brandon” campaign that depicted Joe Biden as some strong, shadowy Batman-like comic book character in response to the humiliating “Let’s Go Brandon” meme that took the world by storm.

and,

CNN spoke to more than a dozen current and former White House and administration officials, lawmakers and Democratic strategists – many of whom requested anonymity to speak freely – who paint a picture of Dunn as a deeply loyal aide with a big-picture view of Biden’s strategy – with a hand in nearly all aspects of his political life.

Her instincts for brawling are now directly intertwined with the president’s political fortunes, as she bolsters an already expansive role as a presidential adviser with steering 2024 messaging from the White House. For a president who relies on a very tight circle of trusted advisers, sources say Dunn has emerged as a powerful chief political communicator, a key strategist and someone who will fight on his behalf. She takes these responsibilities on with a combination of deep experience and Biden’s trust.

RTWDT.

    I’m familiar with Anita Dunn but didn’t know the extent of her power at the White House. They’ve kept her out of the limelight just like Valerie Jarrett and Susan Rice who I knew were pulling some of Bidens strings.

    Great catch and I’ve already RTWDT. If I do get it done early I just run out of time.

    Dark Brandon?!?! BAWHAHAHA!!! And Revolver gets it right;

    “Dark Brandon” never caught on beyond left-wing Twitter circles, for obvious reasons. Joe isn’t “Batman,” he’s more like the Joker, and everybody knows it.   😀

    Today, let us pause to remember a magnificent culinary hero of the South, Mrs. Eugenia Duke. In 1917, Mrs. Duke began selling sandwiches to the soldiers stationed at Camp Sevier, near her home in Greenville, South Carolina. The sandwiches were a hit and her business soared, primarily because of her amazing homemade mayonnaise.

    Today, Duke mayonnaise is the 3rd largest mayonnaise brand in the United States (behind Hellmann’s and Kraft). Its popularity was at first largely limited to the South but in 2017, Duke’s mayonnaise became available throughout the U.S. and also in New Zealand, Australia and the Middle East.

    Duke’s is incomparable, of course, and the quality of our lives would be greatly diminished without it.

    Here’s to you Mrs. Duke!

    Hellmann’s?!

    The Rs are talking about impeaching Grandmother Merrick Garland.  I think this is absurd; he should be charged with and convicted of obstruction of justice in his handling of the laptop from hell, shielding Coke-Hunter from IRS scrutiny, and shielding The Dimwit Joe from bribery, corruption, and treason charges.

    Hey! I like Hellman’s/Best Foods (same product different branding depending on geography). Kraft is too sweet for some odd reason. Dukes is very good, but I prefer Hellman’s.

    Duke’s enjoys a place in my heart for the Duke’s Mayonnaise Bowl, after which the winning coach receives like 5 gallons of Duke’s to enjoy.

    Before they could do what you suggest, they’d have to impeach him. His biggest problem is that he’s a slimy little weasel who’s bitter about having his Supreme Court nomination cancelled when Black Jesus’ term ended before the confirmation process could begin. Which was obviously a good thing when you see him now.

    Mayorcas needs to be taken out and flogged. His only “skill” is not answering a question while not doing anything in his job.

    #10 Pyro:  We normals frequently claim that the Bidet admin are incompetent – this is false.  Because we normals want what is legal, efficient, and profitable for the majority of Americans, we erroneously assume that the current deep state wants the same thing.  If they wanted the same thing, they would rightly be branded as incompetent.  The fact of the matter is that they want ALL POWER to the government at the expense of the citizenry and the way to achieve that objective is to crash the system and rebuild it into a socialist utopia as outlined by Cloward and Piven.  These people are as evil as satan’s minions.

    Good Morning Hamsters,

    We made it down to 77 before the daily climb started.  High overcast at the moment and breezy has overtaken the earlier sunshine.  Rain of course is predicted but not for us as usual, so it is again the sprinkler system to the rescue of our flowers and lawns.

    Momma deer and her baby are in the front pasture.  We haven’t seen the earlier momma and her baby for several weeks now, so perhaps they have moved on with the other does.  Momma deer takes several naps during the day but likely has one eye open to know where her fawn is at all times.  Baby isn’t tall enough to drink from our stock tank yet, but mom is still nursing so that doesn’t matter for now.

    Birds and squirrels drink from our fountain in the back yard, and some of the birds can’t resist taking a bath in it.  Spouse fills it every day, as there are nightly visitors who take advantage of it in the wee hours so the level is down by morning.  There must be an invisible to us Welcome sign on our place that only the animals can read.

    The modernists are about to completely ruin the beautiful Notre Dame cathedral.

    I’ve heard some pretty horrific ideas put forth, and at least the Disney feel may have been scrapped.

    But it looks like the stone cutters are going to have their way with this beautiful worship space.

    BTW – “stone cutter” is term used by Mr. Stine, since the word “Freemason” is problematic on YouTube.  He avoids using certain terms to avoid being singled out by search engines and such.  FYI, being a Freemason excommunicates a Catholic. Automatically.  I’m pretty sure that Francis is a stone cutter.  Heck, he broke his Jesuit vow not to seek high office to become Pope, so I’m pretty sure he doesn’t care about rules.

    -> But that brings into the whole question of his validity as Pope, and that argument gives me a headache.  I’m just resigned to the fact that he’s a really, really bad pope and he is creating the “ape of the church” that we Catholics have been warned about.  I just have to remain faithful to Jesus, not to man, and I’m prepared to join an underground Church if necessary.  There’s a lot of that discussion going on.  There was an underground Church just after VatII.  As long as we have faithful priests, there will those of us who will seek them out.  I have faith that at some point, God’ll straighten this whole mess out.

    “James Martin” refers to the avidly homosexual priest advocating for the full acceptance (and that includes marriage) in the Catholic Church.  He is besties with pachapapa.

    “McCarrick activities” refers to a previous bishop of that name, and when the revelations of his pedophilic homosexual activities became too public to avoid, he was defrocked.  Quite reluctantly.

    ***

    So, if you watch any of Stine’s videos, you’ll understand his verbal shorthand.

    MEASLES AND WEASELS ☙ Wednesday, June 28, 2023 ☙ C&C NEWS

    Roundup:
    Good morning, C&C, and Happy Wednesday! Your roundup today includes: Hunter Biden’s lawyer makes a major admission; corporate media advertises a microscopic new epidemic of malaria; Rand Paul identifies Bill Gates as a civilizational threat; country music star turbo cancer; young soccer star turbo cancer; young singer turbo systemic failure; another young soccer star mysteriously, suddenly, and unexpectedly dies; another New York performer dies while playing in the Bronx; Biden “awards” $50 million to study disparities in cancer treatment; Corporate media begins lowering expectations for the over-hyped Ukrainian CounterOffensive™; and some good cancer news from a very unlikely source.

    News:

    RE:  Hunter’s attorney blaming the Chinese shakedown text messages that included his father “right next to him” are the result of some drug addled mind, and the senior (very senior) Biden was in no way involved, uh uh, nothing to see here, move along….

    It’s weak. The attorney is crafting a new type of insanity defense, craftily turning Hunter’s widely-publicized drug problems into an asset. But it is a stretch too far. For one thing, there is no “drugs made me do it” defense when your actions are coherent, intelligible, and consistent with furthering a criminal act. For another thing, the lawyer is not denying that Hunter didn’t mean every single word of that text message.

    The problem is that, within ten days from Hunter sending that message, the Biden Family Business mysteriously got $5.1 million from a CCP-linked energy company. On which no taxes were paid. Starting the same day, Hunter’s company began receiving regular “consulting fees” that nearly totaled another $5 million.

    It’s good money if you can get it.

    The whistleblower from the IRS said the FBI wanted to try to physically triangulate Joe’s location to prove he was in the room, but that effort got squashed like bug under a shoe.

    There’s a lot more detail. The House Oversight Committee has now traced millions from the same energy company to various Biden family members, including Hunter, James, Hallie, and a fourth unidentified Biden.

    From what I hear, the whole family was in on the grift. Graft.  Theft.  Whatever.  Speaking of roaches…

    Skipping the malaria non-story, I see that Bill Gates is next on the discussion list:

    Fox News ran a story headlined, “Rand Paul Rips Bill Gates’ Alleged Tie To Gain-Of-Function Research: ‘Funding The Biggest Danger To Mankind’.”

    Sounds about right.

    During an interview …with Maria Bartiromo, Senator Paul specifically called out the software billionaire as potentially endangering the entire human race, which is not the kind of category most people want to win. First, Senator Paul wisely called for slashing ALL gain-of-function research, and also insisted that, despite the Biden Administration’s lukewarm declassified report, the covid virus DID emerge from the Wuhan, China lab, and not only that, but thanks to research funded by U.S. officials.

    …Paul explained, “The blame equally should go not only to Chinese authorities, but to Anthony Fauci and all those who advocated for this.”… “Look, Bill Gates has been over there recently. Bill Gates is the largest funder of trying to find these viruses in remote caves and bring them to big cities. ….”

    Sen. Paul explained that the little elf KNEW he was bypassing regulations and rules to create this new monstrosity of nature.  And even if Little Elf thought the knowledge gained by this flouting of the regulations was worth endangering the planet (as he stated in 2012), there are a lot of people who’d love to line up with big sticks to argue that point with him.

    Without exaggeration, Senator Paul is a national treasure. And it is gratifying that corporate media’s embargo has fallen and it is finally publishing this kind of information. Fox is doing it on the right, and RFK is doing very similar things on the left.

    Slow but steady wins the race.

    More sad news from the Suddenly and Unexpectedly Department:

    • I don’t know if Toby Keith’s cancer is part of the jab’s collateral damage, but I hope he fully recovers.
    • Turbo cancer takes out a Latvian pro soccer player, Gints Freimanis.  He was only 38.  Latvian news called it sudden and unexpected, labeling it a “shock diagnosis.”
    • Paulinha Abelha – her picture shows a very beautiful woman! – went into the hospital on February 11th due to “unspecific pain” which was described as “kidney problems”.  In only 3 days, she was in coma.  She died last Wednesday.  The cause of death was “multisystemic involvement,” later diagnosed with profound neurological involvement.  (Where have we heard that before?)  Eventually, brain death.  She was the lead singer of a band named Calcinha Preta.  She was only 43 years old.
    • And yet one more healthy, fit soccer player has died with no cause of death being released.  Karolis Chvedukas of Ireland died S&U on Monday.  He was only 32.  The only term Mr. C. could find that described his death was “mysterious”.
    • Another musician bit the dust on stage: on May 26, the singer-songwriter Juan Carlos Formell collapsed from a mysterious heart attack while performing in the Bronx. He is a Grammy winner, so he must’ve been good at what he did. He was carried offstage while some of his band, oblivious to the event, carried on.  He was only 59 years old.  So many years of creativity ahead of him….

    Here’s a clip of him performing. https://twitter.com/lucasgary/status/1662886941686202369

    RIP, all of you, and peace and comfort to their families and friends.

    Speaking of cancer… Biden has created another form of graft under the cover of “cancer care”.

    But it has nothing to do with curing cancer.  It has everything to do with perceived racial factors in cancer care.  Biden’s “Cancer Moon Shot” plans to hand out a $50M “grant” (translation: graft) to five different cancer research centers for woke research into “disparities” in cancer treatment.

    If they really wanted to quickly cure cancer, they’d just announce a transferable, lifetime exemption from income tax to the first doctor or research lab that came up with a one-shot cure. You wouldn’t even have to front any money.

    But the truth is, they don’t want to cure cancer. These grants are handouts, government largesse, designed to slyly reward loyal democrat supporters with millions of dollars packaged in vaguely-described buzzword grants with no way anyone can ever tell whether anything meaningful was actually accomplished to earn the money.

    This, after all, is the primary function of all this racial and gender grievance nonsense. It’s all about creating excuses for government to transfer tax money to unaccountable and immeasurable leftwing causes. Just ask yourself why Merrick Garland’s family is in the business of creating woke textbooks for preschoolers.

    It’s a morally-depraved, kleptocratic scheme, but you have to admit, it’s working.

    I’m sure all those folks dying of cancer while waiting for a cure are willing to wait in line while taxpayer money is handed out to Democrat cronies who are patting themselves on the back for being so socially adept.

    And finally – some GOOD cancer news!  And it has nothing to do with the Dems buying votes!

    Speaking of cancer, Medical News Today recently ran a very surprising and encouraging story headlined, “Dose of Measles Virus Destroys Woman’s Incurable Cancer.”

    In what they describe as a proof of principle study, Mayo Clinic researchers were able to keep a woman with deadly multiple myeloma – an incurable bone marrow cancer – free of all signs of living cancer cells for over 6 months by giving her just one extremely high dose of measles virus directly into the bloodstream.

    The study included two patients, and both responded, but one of the patients experienced a complete remission.

    In short, the researchers found that measles virus has cancer-suppressing properties. Senior author Dr. Angela Dispenzieri, a multiple myeloma expert, said the measles virus essentially makes the cancer cells fuse together and explode. The treatment also appears to trigger another lasting benefit:

    “There’s some suggestion that it may be stimulating the patient’s immune system to further recognize the cancer cells or the myeloma cells and help mop that up more effectively than otherwise.”

    Lead author Dr. Stephen Russell said they have recently started considering “a single shot cure for cancer, and that’s our goal with this therapy.”

    Anyway, it’s terrific news, and they need to hurry up. Because you know why.

    But then I wondered about the relationship between childhood vaccines to prevent measles and the virus’s cancer-fighting properties. Any unintended consequences? Who knows.

    What if this pandemic DOES lead to a cure for cancer? Wouldn’t that be something?

    I rank these wheelchair scammers right along those folks who purchase those “service animal” vests for their non-service animal pets, and those who illegally acquire or immorally use handicap parking placards.

    I had a placard while caring for my mother.  I still sometimes had difficulty finding a spot for her, since non-handicapped folks were using those spots. I should have gotten one when I injured my back, but didn’t.  God bless that lady who ran inside to get me a scooter when I was trying to cross the parking lot one painful 2-inch step at a time.  And the man who was patiently waiting for me to get out of the way.  I was obviously in pain, so he could see I was actually going as fast as I could.

    I confronted one hale and healthy looking lady who was in a handicap spot.  She was lifting five and six bags of groceries from her shopping basket into her trunk.  While talking to her, she admitted she had no handicap, but she cared for a man who did.  “Is he with you now?” I asked.  She responded to the negative, whereupon I shared with her the problems I had caring for my mother, because people who didn’t need that extra space for wheelchairs, walkers, or crutches were taking up those spaces.

    I hope that made her think.

    Oh, and the guy who used the last of those scooters to ride on while shopping with his girlfriend….

    I had to shop leaning over my grocery cart handle, trying not to go into agony.  I kept seeing those two as I was shopping, and something told me he was just fine but I kept my mouth shut….because you never know.  That shopping trip was extended by at least 20 minutes because I couldn’t move very fast and couldn’t change positions without first thinking about it.

    But as I was carefully loading my purchases into my car, I saw him literally dancing and chasing after his girlfriend in the parking, playfully slapping her butt on the way to their car.

    I so wanted to tell him what he did to me, taking that last motorized cart, but there was no way I was going to be able to catch up to him several lanes over.

    Even after they all had a bowl of late breakfast, several of them came to me in the “breakfast room” and complained. So I gave a little more food to every cat that felt aggrieved.

    After I fed Billy Cat and put out Wildlife Mix on the patio for birds that were watching me from the roof, I was surprised to see the small raccoon mom with her one baby had come out from under the old deck and was chowing down. They must have missed out at last night’s meal.

    I was in a wheelchair and crutches for almost 3 months back in 2001.  I was living alone in a two-story house in Bellville and commuting to 34th and Magnum everyday.  I had to have Shannon come over and bring my clothes and toiletries downstairs because I could not navigate stairs at all.  I only missed being in the office 1-1/2 days, but it was a real challenge.  I had a wheelchair at home and one at the office my secretary would bring out to my truck each morning.

    I had never abused the handicapped parking spaces, but that only hardened my defense of them and my hostility for anyone who falsely used them.  There were days driving home in the evening out 290 when I would swing through the parking lots of all the Randalls, Krogers and HEBs trying to find a handicapped space during rush hour.  There were nights I couldn’t find one and would just go on home and not eat.  I still had to fight the crutches into the store to get a motorized cart if one was available and then try to get an employee to follow me to the parking lot and return the cart.  Some days it wasn’t with the hassle and I became an advocate for any handicapped parking thief receiving 40 lashes in public and jail time.

    The eco-morons glossed over this problem in their rush to shove electric vehicles down the throats of Western civilization.  It’s not just roads, but bridges, overpasses and tunnels.  The problem is even worse in America.  What is going to happen when millions of old, wrecked cars with worn out lithium-ion EV batteries end up in junk yards ?  You can’t crush and recycle them.  Are they going to sit there and leak toxic chemicals into the ground forever ?

    Electric cars damage roads twice as much as their petrol equivalents, analysis has shown, as the pothole crisis grows on Britain’s roads.

    Analysis by The Telegraph has found that the average electric car more than doubles the wear on road surfaces, which in turn could increase the number of potholes.

    The country is suffering from a pothole crisis, with half as many filled last year compared to a decade ago amid an estimated £12 billion price tag to fill them all.

    Road industry bodies have raised fears that electric cars could exacerbate the problem on residential roads. The number of electric cars being driven has tripled to 900,000 since 2019 ahead of the Government’s 2030 ban on sales of new petrol and diesel cars as part of its net zero drive.

    As many as four in five miles could be driven by electric cars by 2035, according to estimates by the Department for Transport.

    The Telegraph found that the average electric car puts 2.24 times more stress on roads than its petrol equivalent, and 1.95 more than diesel. Larger electric vehicles weighing over 2,000kg (2 tons) cause the most damage, with 2.32 times more wear applied to roads.

    The CEO of Toyota tried to warn his fellow automakers about the folly of TVs, but they are suffering from that rectal-cranial inversion induced by listening to Green New Dealers.

    Ford Motor F 2.57%increase; green up pointing triangle plans to lay off at least 1,000 salaried employees and contract workers in North America, people familiar with the matter said, the automaker’s latest effort to defray the heavy cost of investing in electric cars.

    In internal meetings Monday, Ford began notifying some salaried workers in North America that job cuts would be coming, a company spokesman confirmed Tuesday morning. The planned layoffs are concentrated in the engineering ranks, where Ford is targeting costs across its business units, he said.

    The automaker has made several rounds of global layoffs over the past year, including a 3,000-person reduction in the U.S. last summer and a slightly larger layoff in Europe initiated earlier this year.

    Just think, if this guy had piloted his plane to avoid the restricted airspace, he would have gotten away with everything.

    Authorities were alerted to the single-seater tourist plane after it flew near a nuclear plant in restricted airspace in the French region of Ardèche.

    A Rafale jet, one of France’s most modern fighters, went to check on the aircraft and “witnessed very erratic behavior in the cockpit, real agitation,” a military spokesperson told Agence France-Presse, a French news agency. “Over the course of a few minutes, he saw the door open and packages being thrown out.”

    The pilot was arrested after he landed at an airstrip in Lanas, Ardèche. The local prosecutor’s office said the pilot is a Polish national with a history of drug offenses.

    Investigators found 15 packages scattered across the ground containing nearly 70 pounds of a “white powder” that is being analyzed.

    Nat’s next load is in the freezer – we got a 5 lb bag of frozen no-sugar added mixed fruit (pineapple, strawberries, peach slices and mango cubes) at Sam’s… Decided that if/when TSHTF we might like a sweet treat sometimes.

    I may wait til morning to start it up – I had to cut some of the pineapple chucks down to size so they wouldn’t be too thick on the trays, so want to make sure everything is well frozen again before I put it in. And got another set of trays – that makes 3 – one to put into Nat, one to finish cleaning after unloading from Nat, and one for the next load to spend some time getting nice and frosty after the contents getting prepped. We were able to order them thru Tractor Supply and pick them up at our local store without even getting out of the car.

    The eggs I prepped by freezing  in the unpleased quart freezer bags turned out really nice. They looked like square flat yellow orange stones – until I picked them up. So I put the chunks into mylar bags… And made sure when we went out, I got all the 1/2 gallon Ball jars they had at my Walmart (only 12 but that’s twice as many as I had already with stuff in them). I really like storing “ingredients” in those jars that I can re-vacuum seal after taking out what I need, and had used all that I had on hand.

    Boom.  That is some amazing info in that 5 minute video with John Solomon and others.  He said towards the end there is a whistleblower from the Securities & Exchange Commission who originally came forward with a detailed report of all kinds of corruption involving the Biden family back in 2016.  Apparently, it was ignored by the DOJ in the past, but he’s bringing straight to Congress now.  Solomon also said he thinks close Biden associate, Devon Archer, may end up coming forth and unloading everything on the Bidens.

    Bsue – I think I’m going to wait for this heat to break before I put Elsa through her paces again.  Hubby tells me I may need to break out my sweaters – gonna get all the way down to 95 next week!

    Triple digits may be too much right now.

    I’m looking forward to some cheesecake bites.  And I found a book with keto sauce recipes – it’ll be nice to have some of those on hand to enhance future meals.

    There may have been a bunch of placebo jabs in Europe.

    I’ll bet those folks are grateful that they were deceived now.

    Finally, we have the ‘yellow batches’ clustered around the yellow line, which, as can be seen above, barely gets off the x-axis. On Dyker’s calculation, the yellow batches represent around 30% of the total. Dyker notes that they include batches comprising some 200,000 administered doses which are associated with literally zero suspected adverse events.

    As Dyker puts it, “malicious” observers might note that “this is how placebos would look”.

    And malicious observers might be right. For Dyker and Matysik compared the batch numbers contained in the Danish study with publicly available information on the batches approved for release, and they made the startling discovery that almost none of the harmless batches, unlike the very-bad and not-so-bad batches, appear to have been subject to any quality-control testing at all.

    Tedtam – ROTFLOL… I’m allergic to wool, so I get to use the more “summer-friendly” sweater materials like cotton  😉

    And I’m mostly trying to get “ingredients” made shelf-stable… Nat lives in what was Mom’s bedroom – same A/C unit but different thermostat.  And we have LOTS of fans, LOL.  But I DO understand.

    I’m not a fan of Bret Baier but I did watch his interview with the Biden Whistle Blower and it was worth my time.
