It's Just Perception, That's All


                Bias as a noun: prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person or group compared with another in a way considered to be unfair.

                Thursday  the infamous Peter Strzock gave some testimony to a joint session of the House Oversight and Judiciary committees. I wasn’t able to catch much of it live but there’s plenty of it on You Tube and video out there if you think your brain won’t go numb watching it. It’s grueling but I recommend viewing some of the live action for yourself rather than rely on the mainstream media’s predictably pro left interpretation of what they wish happened.

                Among other clips, I watched all 28 minutes of Trey Gowdy’s interview of Strzock. The only reason it took 28 minutes was democrats spent nine minutes trying to derail the interrogation by questioning a “point of order.” Like Strzock, I had to be reminded what the question was by the time they shut up and quit interrupting.

                The rest of the time what I saw was Gowdy making Strzock look like a fool and a liar. But I’m conservative. I’ve already heard from some liberal friends (the ones who are capable of a civil conversation) that what they saw was Gowdy badgering Strzock about his personal opinions which had nothing to do with his professional performance.

                With all due respect to my civil liberal friends (both of you), I seriously have to wonder how badly you want to believe in unicorns to believe that.

                In a separate interview Darrel Issa, R-CA (almost as rare as a unicorn), made Strzok read some of his own text messages to his now well-known mistress and FBI attorney, Lisa Page. I will grant you it was humiliating. I was even uncomfortable watching it and I think Strzok is a traitor who should be hanged or at least sent to prison for 40 to 700 years. But if you’re going to commit stupid acts sometimes you have to admit in public you were stupid.

                Issa made him read his response to a question from Page on Aug. 16, 2016, “He’s not ever going to become president right? Right?”

                Strzok read, “No, no he’s not. We’ll stop him.” Strzock later told Gowdy that “we’ll” referred to the American people.

                Sure it did.

                Issa also made him read the following text to Page from August 15, 2016, “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office that there’s no way he could be elected, but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40.”

                Gee, I wonder what he meant by insurance policy. He couldn’t have been talking about the completely bogus piece of fiction known as the Steele Dossier, could he? No, of course not.

                You can find the transcript for yourself but honorable agent Peter Strzock referred to Trump in other texts as an idiot, a douche and a disaster, and those are just the words that I’m willing to spell because I fear a couple of my younger nieces may occasionally read what I have to say.

                Yet Strzock insisted in his testimony to Issa and to Gowdy that in no way did his personal opinions cloud or influence his professional judgement. Umm-hmm.  Insurance policy?

                I’m not the originator of this thought but you have to wonder how his line of reasoning went over with Mrs. Strzok when Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater tried to explain away Lisa Page? “Sure I was having an affair with her but at no time did it influence my commitment to our marriage or affect the integrity of my wedding vows.”

                What?

                Gowdy read one of Strzock’s texts to Page from 11/7/16 on the eve of the election when some on the left were cognizant enough to realize the wheels were coming off, “OMG, this is effing terrifying.”

                On 5/17/17, Mueller’s gang of villagers with pitchforks was officially formed and by 5/18, Strzock was already talking about impeachment of the President as the desired outcome. He did it again on 5/22. In neither case had a single interview that has been logged by the Mueller investigation and fish fry been conducted.

                Strzock again claimed to Gowdy that that was only his personal desire but it had no effect on his professional conduct. No bias there.

                People who are comfortable with that explanation make me nervous.

                Toward the end of his little chat with Strzok after he was done exposing him as a traitor and a fraud, Gowdy did say, “No wonder Mueller kicked you off the committee,” which actually seemed to take the smirk off of Stzock’s face for a moment.

                It was not Peter Strzock’s understanding that Mueller kicked him off the committee because of any bias on Strzock’s part. Nope. Strzock understood that he was only kicked off the committee because of the appearance of bias.

                Well, there certainly is that.

                Strzock began to tell Gowdy that he didn’t appreciate Gowdy daring to question his integrity (Strzock has to have to have some kind of narcissistic delusion going on to think he has anything resembling integrity going for him). Gowdy cut him off and gave what I thought was the highlight quote of the day’s testimony:

                “I don’t give a damn what you appreciate, Agent Strzock. I don’t appreciate an FBI agent with an unprecedented level of animus working on two major political investigations.” (The fairy tale alleging collusion between Trump and Russia as well as Strzock's work exonerating HRC of any of her many wrongdoings in her email scandal which is a whole other blog topic.)

                I completely agree with Gowdy and think Strzock—and others—are flagrant traitors and guilty of more charges than I’m capable of writing. But as I said before, I am conservative (no, really).

                Some democratic congressperson (I’m almost done and don’t feel like looking it up. You can if you want.) said that Strzock deserved a purple heart for enduring the unfair, super mean questioning by the republicans. A cry The Washington Post took up on Friday. And that’s how some liberals feel about the exact same events I just watched.

                I have a friend with a purple heart. Strzock doesn’t deserve a purple heart. He deserves the brand of a traitor.

                Food for thought:

                Last week, Joe Munchin, D-WV, told Chuck Schumer to “kiss my you-know-what” in response to Schumer trying to pressure democrats to block President Trump’s latest Supreme Court nominee.

                Nielsen released ratings last week that had The Food Network and HGTV both with more viewers for the first time than CNN or MSNBC.

                Not that we can ever afford to get cocky and stay home from the polls or let our guard down for a moment but one has to wonder what the Alt Left base has dwindled down to and how hard they have to want to believe they are relevant.

They sure are noisy though, I’ll give them that.
