Midknight Review -- new and revised: So, is Billy Kristol and the Washington Free Beacon implicated in the Russian probe? Absolutely not.

How misleading is this headline? Over 2300 such headlines have gone into print since Trump was sworn into office. 2300 nonsensical, misleading, and/or outright lies, since the Trump beginnings. And this is another one of those headlines.

New York Times: Conservative Website First Funded Anti-Trump Research by Firm That Later Produced Dossier

Here are the facts: The conservative website in question is that of The Washington Free Beacon. The anti-Trump character involved is none other than Bill Kristol, one of the first Trump Haters. And this storyline HAS NOTHING to do with the current probe into Fusion GPS. Nothing, and the NY Times knows this. That is why they wrote " . . . by firm that later produced the Dossier." "Latter" means, "has nothing to do with . . . ."

Here is an excerpt from the Free Beacon that helps to understand their use of opposition research:

Free Beacon, 10/27/2017:
Since its launch in February of 2012, the Washington Free Beacon has retained third party firms to conduct research on many individuals and institutions of interest to us and our readers. In that capacity, during the 2016 election cycle we retained Fusion GPS to provide research on multiple candidates in the Republican presidential primary, just as we retained other firms to assist in our research into Hillary Clinton. All of the work that Fusion GPS provided to the Free Beacon was based on public sources, and none of the work product that the Free Beacon received appears in the Steele dossier.

Go to the Beacon for the rest of the story, here.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
