Is Mark Warner Intoxicated on Intelligence?

Senator Mark Warner teases big money Democrat donors on inside information about the Mueller Special Counsel investigation

During a Majority Trust Retreat Dinner for the National Democrat Campaign Committee in Martha's Vineyard, Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), the Vice Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee jested that if you gave him another glass of wine, and he would reveal tantalizing details about the Mueller Special Counsel investigation.



  While this cryptic comment can be passed off as sparkling wit during a wine, brie and rubber chicken fundraiser, this discounts the candor which is afforded to high rolling donors. Rush Limbaugh recalled attending a soiree for big donors to President George W. Bush.  Rush recalled that unlike his cautious, stammering public persona, "W" was entirely a different guy when cameras were not focused on him.  Once assured that the remarks were off the record, Mr. Bush spoke with candor and the President opined without notes for 45 minutes about serious subjects without stuttering. 

Limbaugh insists that teasing big money donors with bogus political bombshells is not done. Deceiving deep pocket donors risks alienating their pocketbooks in the future.  

This may be why President Trump chronicled Warner's supposedly tipsy insinuation.  




Taken at face value, Democrats are colluding with the Special Counsel. In addition, they are relying on precursors of impeachable offenses to base their midterm election campaign.  This could explain why Vanity Fair proclaimed that Mueller could give the GOP an October Surprise. 

If it is the case that Warner has advanced intelligence about the Mueller investigation, why is information on an active case being leaked to a key Democrat?   Is Warner intoxicated with illegal insider intelligence or just intoxicated on power?

A Pence for Fran Lebowitz's Thoughts

Vanity Fair's progressive provocateur Fran Lebowitz made some revealing remarks at the "third annual" New Establishment summit in San Francisco.

When commenting on anti-abortion activists in light of the 2016 Election cycle, Fran Lebowitz advocated for retroactive abortions for pro-lifers like Republican Vice Presidential nominee Governor Mike Pence (R-IN).

How telling.  Pro choice politicians seem to consider abortion a sacrament, but it is usually placed on the euphemistic altar of protecting a "woman's right to choose" or the ironic yet pathos laden precept of  "womens' reproductive health."  Yet Lebowitz advocacy for retroactive abortions makes it clear that progressives favor eliminating enemies which get in their way.

Although it is the height of political season and clearly Lebowitz and Pence would be polar political opposites,  Lebowitz modest proposal gives lie to the loft rhetoric of "diversity".  Progressives look to identity politics, for externals like race or gender preference but are loathe to be tolerant of perspective which are not their own.


Moreover, Lebowitz's barbaric barb illustrates liberal fascism as was expounded upon by Jonah Goldberg's influential book  Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left from Mussolini to the Politics of Change (2009).



Of course, Lebowitz is a literary commentator infused with New York values and an in your face attitude.  But based upon Democrat Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton (D-NY)'s answer in the third debate about the Supreme Court, in which she rattled off a laundry list of liberal leitmotifs without once mentioning the Constitution, we can expect such vilest values to infect the New Establishment if it takes over the District of Calamity (sic).
