HUGE: Former Top Spy Admits Obama Ordered Investigation of Trump Campaign
Posted on | October 8, 2019 | Comments Off on HUGE: Former Top Spy Admits Obama Ordered Investigation of Trump Campaign
James Clapper, who was Director of National Intelligence (DNI) in the Obama administrations, was on CNN yesterday and was asked, “Are you concerned that Barr or Durham’s investigation will find wrongdoing and seek to punish former intelligence officials like you?”
The message I’m getting from all this is, apparently what we were supposed to have done was to ignore the Russian interference, ignore the Russian meddling and the threat that it poses to us, and oh, by the way, blown off what the then commander in chief, President Obama, told us to do, which was to assemble all the reporting that we could that we had available to us and put it in one report that the president could pass on to the Congress and to the next administration. And while we’re at it, declassify as much as we possibly could to make it public, and that’s what we did. It’s kind of disconcerting now to be investigated for, you know having done our duty and done what we were told to do by the president.
Rush Limbaugh went off on this yesterday, because what we now know about the “Russian interference” — an illusion of “collusion” created as a pretext to spy on the Trump campaign — exposes Clapper’s investigation as part of political hit-job orchestrated by Democrats. For Clapper to twice say this was done on Obama’s orders is huge.
Professor Chikaodinaka Nwankpa

How do you pronounce that name? The answer is worth $200,000:
A university professor from Philadelphia blew nearly $200,000 of federal research dollars at strip clubs in the City of Brotherly Love — and now his former employer is stuck with the bill, a report said Monday.
Drexel University settled with federal prosecutors for $190,000 on Monday to avoid a potential lawsuit from the Justice Department, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
The settlement was an effort to recoup funds that the former head of Drexel’s electrical engineering department, Chikaodinaka Nwankpa, squandered at topless bars including Club Risque and Cheerleaders in South Philly, according to the report.
The bills racked up by Nwankpa were spent on dancers for “goods and services” at the clubs over a decade from 2007 to 2017, federal prosecutors alleged.
Hey, what’s a couple hundred thousand bucks in entertainment expenses, when you’re bringing in millions of dollars in federal grants?
[Nwankpa] spent 27 years teaching in Drexel’s electrical and computer engineering department, chairing it from 2015 until he left.
During that time, he was among the university’s top attractors of research grant funds, boasting in his faculty bio that he had landed more than $10 million in research money throughout his career.
Insert “Higher Education Bubble” reference here.

The Ivy League Is Decadent and Depraved: Yale Is Now America’s Rape Capital?
Posted on | October 8, 2019 | Comments Off on The Ivy League Is Decadent and Depraved: Yale Is Now America’s Rape Capital?
Nowhere in America are women more likely to be sexually assaulted than on the campus of Yale University. At least, that’s what Yale officials claim in their latest annual report from the campus Title IX office, which “indicates an extraordinarily dangerous campus . . . with a much higher violent crime rate than any of the nation’s most dangerous cities,” as K.C. Johnson observes. In other words, according to this official Yale document, parents are paying $72,100 a year (including room and board) to send their daughters to a university campus where they’re more likely to be raped than in West Baltimore or East Saint Louis.
Why is Yale proclaiming itself Rape City, U.S.A.?
This is the work of Dr. Stephanie Spangler, who has headed Yale’s Title IX office since 2011. Dr. Spangler apparently considers it her duty to report the maximum number of sexual assaults, and has established a system that encourages students to make accusations. Another innovative way of promoting Yale’s reputation as a dangerous place for women is Dr. Spangler’s use of “a more expansive definition of sexual assault” than that offered in state or federal law,” as Johnson explains:
She has never provided an explanation as to why Yale has chosen to redefine a commonly-understood term, but the broader definition allows figures that create a greater sense of crisis. Second, the latest Spangler report (repeating a change that debuted in her spring 2019 report) contains a chart of all reports at Yale since the implementation of the new Title IX regime in 2011 — culminating in a remarkable 169 Title IX complaints between January 1 and June 30, 2019.
What’s really happening at Yale, of course, is that feminists have taken over the campus and incited anti-male hatred among female students, resulting in a dramatic increase in accusations, which have doubled in the past three years. A majority of the claims (52%) were for “sexual harassment,” which is not rape or assault, of course, but gets lumped into the category “sexual misconduct” to create a larger statistic because more is better, you see. If Yale is going to spent hundreds of thousands of dollars each year for a Title IX witch-hunt, Dr. Spangler in her role as the witch-hunter-in-chief had better find a lot of witches. The more Dr. Spangler does to increase the “rape culture” hysteria on campus, the more every freshman girl at Yale gets the message that if a boy so much as speaks to her, she’s a victim of “sexual harassment” and — ZOOM! — the number of “misconduct” reports has doubled in the three years.
(Hat-tip: Instapundit.)
UPDATE: Welcome, Instapundit readers! If you’ve read my book Sex Trouble, you know that 21st-century feminism is an anti-male hate movement, and if you’ve followed my blog, you know how toxic the climate has become on America’s university campuses, as I wrote in May:
Is heterosexuality even legal at Yale University anymore? . . .
[A Yale senior] got suspended just a few weeks before he was scheduled to graduate because this girl decides retroactively that this brief moment when the condom came off during a 90-minute sexual encounter constituted “assault,” and Yale’s administration just goes along with this? If you’ll read the entire 66-page complaint you’ll find a lot of other reasons not to believe the accuser, including the fact that she claims to have been sexually assaulted more than once before she hooked up with John Doe, suggesting perhaps she has a victimhood mentality. But the larger point is, how can any guy at Yale know he won’t be the next “John Doe,” denied due process and expelled on the basis of a flimsy accusation?
The only safe course is NEVER HAVE SEX WITH A YALE GIRL.
Just tell your sons to avoid New Haven entirely.
Rule 5 Monday: Chris Noel

Well, this week’s appetizer literally came out of nowhere. I was browsing Twitter and came across a piece on forgotten pinup girls from the Vietnam War, one of whom was Chris Noel. A star of beach movies in the 1960, Chris became famous to Vietnam Vets as hostess of the Armed Forces Radio & TV Network show “A Date With Chris”. She made frequent visits to the troops (twice as part of the Bob Hope tours) and was shot down twice. She went back to acting after the war, with roles in both movies and television. She’s also remained active in veterans’ causes: in 1993, she opened a small shelter for homeless veterans in Boynton beach, Florida.

Here she is in one of her pin-up shots.
Ninety Miles From Tyranny begins this week’s post with Hot Pick Of The Late Night, The 90 Miles Mystery Box Episode #762, Morning Mistress, and Girls With Guns. At Animal Magnetism, there’s Rule Five Climate Hypocrite Friday and the Saturday Gingermageddon.
EBL’s herd this week includes Neo Luddites, Kill the Irishman, Halloween Is Coming, Diahann Carroll, The First Bond Girl, and Zazie Beetz.
A View From The Beach brings us Alice Braga, Queen of the South, Dolphins at Home in the Potomac Again, Fish Pic Friday – Alysha Aratari, Tanlines Thursday, Need a First Aid Kit?, Gone Fishin’, Tattoos for Tuesday, Monday Morning Eyeful and Palm Sunday.
Last but not least, Proof Positive’s Vintage Babe is Barbara Eden.

Ilhan Omar Is Divorcing Her Husband (The One Who’s Not Her Brother)
Posted on | October 7, 2019 | Comments Off on Ilhan Omar Is Divorcing Her Husband (The One Who’s Not Her Brother)
Democrats are such high-quality people:
Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar filed for divorce Friday, just over a month after she denied to a local TV reporter that she was separated.
Omar sat for an on-camera interview with WCCO reporter Esme Murphy on Aug. 27, who asked “Are you separated from your husband? Are you dating someone?”
Omar replied: “No, I am not. And like I said yesterday, I have no interest in allowing the conversation about my personal life to continue.”
The question came the same day that the wife of Tim Mynett, her campaign consultant, filed for divorce in Washington, D.C., saying that Mynett told her he was having an affair with the congresswoman and was leaving her for Omar.
Five weeks later, Omar filed for divorce from her husband, Ahmed Hirsi, in Minnesota.
An anonymous source told the New York Post in early September that Hirsi and Omar had allegedly been living apart since March.
In the interview with Murphy, Omar also declined to answer questions about her brief marriage to another man, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, which occurred while she already had children with Hirsi and while she allegedly continued to live with Hirsi, according to public records. . . .
In 2015, Minnesota blogs began publishing extensive Instagram and Facebook posts by Omar, her family and her alleged family that indicate Ahmed Nur Said is her brother, but the posts were deleted.
Every word Ilhan Omar says is a lie. She is pervasively dishonest, which of course is why she’s a Democrat.
Our ‘Objective’ Media

Is it necessary to remind readers that George Stephanopoulos is a partisan political operative, a former Clinton staffer?
On Sunday’s broadcast of “This Week,” host George Stephanopoulos opened his show with a report proclaiming a second “whistleblower.”
Stephanopoulos said, “Good morning. Welcome to ‘This Week,’ a week of head-snapping developments. The first key witness testimony to Congress. the first release of text messages from administration officials confirming the pressure campaign or Ukraine outlined in the original whistleblower complaint. That public request from President Trump calling on China to investigate Joe Biden. A new request for documents from Vice President Pence. This morning more breaking news. ABC News has learned that the legal team representing the first whistle-blower is now representing a second whistleblower. Attorney Mark Zaid said he is a member of the intelligence community with firsthand information on some of the allegations at issue.”
The truth about this “second whistleblower” trick:
Inspector General Michael Atkinson, who changed the rules governing “whistleblowing” to accommodate this hearsay gossip, will rue the day he did this. He said he was unaware that the “whistleblower,” reportedly a CIA functionary assigned to the White House years ago where he worked with anti-Trump Ukrainians to stop Trump and who has not worked there for two or three years, had first talked to congressional staff. He was unaware of it, perhaps because the whistleblower complaint form asks if he had previously told anyone, including congressional staff, about this and lied about that, subjecting himself to possible felony charges. Moreover, allowing in such unsubstantiated gossip by a liar who had no firsthand knowledge of the substance of the complaint will only unleash a flood of these baseless charges, tying up more government resources on nonsense.
It’s all a big psyops scheme, a partisan propaganda campaign, an orchestrated collusion between media, Democrats and “deep state” hacks.

When it comes to “more whistleblowers coming forward”…………..I’ve seen this movie before — with Brett #Kavanaugh.
