Conrad Black on Thomas L. Friedman:

The following delightful comment on Mr Friedman of The New York Times is copied and pasted from Conrad Black's very insightful column at American Greatness, May 10: "Liz Cheney and the Big Lie."  LPR recommends the Black article to all its visitors.

"The Democrats’ effort to produce evidence that January 6 was a Trump planned assault on democratic government will be as complete a failure as the New York Times’ Tom Friedman’s theory of four years ago that Trump’s collusion with Russia in the 2016 election was as great an assault on American sovereignty as Pearl Harbor or 9/11."

Keeping a Lie Alive ...

The New York Times reported, May 12,  that the Biden administration and House Democrats have reached an agreement to have Donald F. McGahn II appear before Congress to testify "about [President] Trump's efforts to obstruct  the Russia inquiry...."   And why shouldn't Biden and Democrats in Congress not want to have Mr. Trump's former White House counsel testify about "obstructing" that phony business about colluding with Russia?  What better way to keep alive a lie?

A Dangerous Pick at Justice…

The Wall Street Journal, in its May 13 editorial, "A Dangerous Pick at Justice" notes that a zealous anti-Trumper, Susan Hennessey has been named to the Justice Department's national security division as senior counsel.   The editorial points out that Hennessey hyped  the Trump-Russia collusion fiction, and "bestowed phony credibility" on the infamous Steele dossier.   The editorial indicates that its hopes that Attorney General  Merrick Garland would lead an apolitical Justice Department may  have been misguided.  The Journal concludes: "Justice may only be sliding deeper into the partisan muck."   Should  there be any doubt that this will be the case in this Biden administration?

LPR has concluded …

LPR has concluded that, as president, Joe Biden is "un homme de paille." (A figurehead, manipulated by Barack Obama and Susan Rice.)  Another term, of course, is "puppet."

Biden on Iran...

In his address to Congress -- considering his fondness for executive orders, why the need to address Congress at all? -- President Biden threatened Iran with "severe deterrence" if it tries to build a nuclear arsenal.

LPR believes he meant to threaten Iran with "severe deference."

The transgender as women's sports controversy…

LPR seems to recall a time when Soviet athletes were questioned as women's sports competitors because of an abundance of the male hormone.  Has that approach gone by the boards in what might be called transgender liberation?

BTW…

Whatever happened to Special Counsel  John Durham and his probe of Russia-gate, the deep state's effort, not unsuccessful, to undermine the legitimately-elected President Trump, who subsequently got illegitimately un-re-elected, last November.
