18 Years for J6er, wrist slap for wannabe Nazi assassin
Sai Vashti Kandula must know someone—or something. On Monday evening, Kandula drove his rented U-Haul into a
barrier a few hundred feet from the White House, backed up, and rammed the barrier again.
Upon being apprehended, Kandula reportedly said he wanted to “kill the president.” On Tuesday, based on statements he made at the scene, Kandula was charged with “threatening to kill, kidnap, inflict harm on a president, vice president, or family member.” If that were not enough, he was also charged with “assault with a dangerous weapon, reckless operation of a motor vehicle and trespassing.”
The fact that he carried a Nazi flag in his backpack had to ramp up the threat level. In an interview after the arrest, Kandula told investigators that “Nazi’s have a great history.” He reportedly admires their “authoritarian nature, eugenics, and their one world order.” To make for a better photo-op authorities obligingly spread the flag out on the ground beside the truck.
Has Ben Crump defamed one white person too many?
The race-baiting biz has a supply problem. For years, Bizarro World “civil rights” attorney Ben Crump has made a small

fortune chasing racists. None of them has been a real racist, but some – Derek Chauvin, George Zimmerman – have, at least, looked mean enough to convince a complicit media.
The supply of real racists has been dwindling for at least a half century, but given the success of hucksters like Al Sharpton and the marble-mouthed Crump, the demand for racists continues to increase. So it should have been no surprise that Crump went after Sarah Comrie, the unfortunate New York City woman labeled “Citi Bike Karen.” Watching Comrie desperately wrangle over a bike, Crump filtered the video through the only lens he knows.
For Obama, the Cover-Up Was Worse than the Crime
No, Obama and FBI did not do everything “by the book.”
Two enduring aphorisms emerged from the Watergate affair, both directed at then-president Richard Nixon. The one at the outset of the investigation was delivered in the form of a question: “What did he know and when did he know it?” The second came at the end in the form of a warning to future presidents: “The cover-up is worse than the crime.”
Thanks to the Durham report, we know the date that then-president Barack Obama learned about what John Durham calls the “Clinton Intelligence plan.” If CIA Director John Brennan’s notes are to be believed, that date was August 3, 2016.
This was the day Brennan briefed Obama and other key players about the “alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on 26 July of a proposal from one of her [campaign] advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security services.”
Harry’s Ghost, Like Obama’s, Talks Too Much
Maybe I missed something in ghostwriting class, but I always thought the ghostwriter’s job was to remain as ghostly as

possible. The book, I thought, should be the author’s — his or her life, thoughts, ideas, and, as far as possible, actual words. Hell, in the 30 or so books I have edited/ghosted, I’ve asked to keep my name even out of “acknowledgements” section. I figured if I want attention, I can write my own books, which I do.
The temptation is always there for a ghost to steal a little glory. I get that. But as the two cases under review suggest, the “author” always loses when the ghost insists on being seen. Prince Harry loses face from his dwindling supply of the same. Barack Obama loses sleep.
Married to a woman who talks way too much, the last thing Prince Harry needed was a ghostwriter who did the same, but he got one nonetheless. To be fair, J. R. Moehringer writes very well, but he gabs more than any ghostwriter ever should, way more.
At the Washington Post, democracy died in broad daylight
With the release of the Durham report, we can confirm that democracy has, in fact, died, thanks in no small part to the Washington Post. The only remaining question is who killed it. A June 23, 2017, Post feature article, complete with charts and color photos, holds some clues. “Early last August [2016],” the article opens breathlessly, “an envelope with extraordinary handling restrictions arrived at the White House.”
According to the Post, CIA honcho John Brennan sent an “intelligence bombshell” directly to Obama, an “eyes only” document with sourcing deep inside the Kremlin. The Brennan document allegedly detailed “Russian President Vladimir Putin’s direct involvement in a cyber campaign to disrupt and discredit the U.S. presidential race.” Reportedly, Putin was not just meddling in the campaign but was actively trying to defeat Hillary and elect Trump.
How the Morlocks Seized New York
If, in 1984, an inventive New Yorker set his time travel machine to the year 2023, the city in which he arrived would
confound him. Although the New York City of today looks much like that of 1984, our time traveler would have a hard time understanding the people, almost as hard a time as H.G. Wells’s “Time Traveler” did when his machine arrived in the year 802,701.
The public response of the average New Yorker to the arrest of former Marine sergeant Daniel Penny calls to mind the “Eloi” response to Wells’s Traveler. The Eloi were the little, pretty people of the future whom the Time Traveler encountered. “Once the favored aristocracy” says the Traveler, “the Eloi, like the Carolingian kings, had decayed to a mere beautiful futility.” The passivity of the Eloi allowed the subterranean Morlocks, once their servants, to become their masters. “Already the Eloi had begun to learn one old lesson anew,” says the Traveler. “They were becoming reacquainted with Fear.”
If Reparations Are Due, The ‘Great Society’ Crowd Should Pony Up
In no sane part of this great country are reparations really due, but no one has ever accused California of undue sanity. Last week, as Kurtis Lee of the New York Times reported with a straight face, a California panel approved recommendations “that could mean hundreds of billions of dollars in payments to Black residents to address past injustices.”
By “injustices,” Lee means things like slavery, Ku Klux Klan violence, and Jim Crow. As unjust as they were, these Democratic institutions did not cause the wealth disparities between blacks and whites that reparations boosters like to cite. No, the real damage was done much later by still another Democratic invention, the so-called “Great Society.”
Growing up in Newark, New Jersey, I had a ringside seat on the change the Great Society wrought. In my forthcoming book, Untenable: The True Story of White Ethnic Flight from America’s Cities, I describe what I and others saw.
The real culprit in the Biden family scandal
Two related Biden scandals are surfacing this week in Washington. One involves the genesis of the intel community’s
discrediting of the Hunter Biden laptop story. The second involves the corrupt dealings of the Biden crime family.
It is hard to say which scandal is more scandalous, but neither could have festered as long as they have without the active complicity of the major American media. During the Q&A session following the House Oversight and Accountability Committee’s Wednesday press conference, Chair James Comer addressed two issues that are at the heart of the Biden family mischief.
What RFK Jr. Needs to Do to Be Taken Seriously
As much I respect Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s stand on Big Science and suppression of speech, I remember the RFK, Jr. of just nine years ago who championed both. In September 2014, Kennedy joined the chaotic throngs marching through the still viable Manhattan in their Sisyphean protest against climate change. In speaking of politicians who challenged conventional warming wisdom — “contemptible human beings” to a person — Kennedy wished out loud that “there were a law they could be punished under.”
If the politicos were still immune from punishment, industrialists, according to Kennedy, were not. Kennedy focused his wrath on two of them, the brothers Charles and David Koch. “They are enjoying making themselves billionaires by impoverishing the rest of us,” ranted Kennedy. “Do I think the Koch brothers should be tried for reckless endangerment? Absolutely.”
