National Divorce, now:

No Surprise: John McCain used his Senate panel to spread the Russia collusion hoax, specifically the entirely-fabricated "secret communications with an Alfa Bank computer" part of it.

But here's the surprise: McCain worked with none other than George Soros to spread this hoax.

Lee Smith and John Solomon:

The efforts to disseminate a now-discredited theory that the Trump campaign had secret computer communications with the Kremlin extended beyond the FBI, CIA, and State Department to the U.S. Senate.

Under the late Sen. John McCain, the Armed Services Committee engaged a former FBI official and his progressive-funded nonprofit to produce a report on the matter, according to court records obtained by Just the News.

The Senate committee, now under Democrats' control, successfully waged a secret federal court battle this summer to quash a subpoena that would have forced one of its staffers, Thomas Kirk McConnell, to turn over documents and testify about his dealings with former FBI analyst Dan Jones and his nonprofit, The Democracy Integrity Project, the records show.

A spokesman for George Soros confirms the progressive megadonor was one of the financial backers of The Democracy Integrity Project. Tax records show the group raised more than $7 million in donations in 2017 and hired Fusion GPS -- the same firm that produced the debunked Steele dossier for Hillary Clinton's campaign -- to pursue allegations of foreign interference in elections.

Grim Milestone: More Americans have died from covid under Biden than under Trump.

Note that ABC News refuses to state it in that way. They compare the 2021 death toll to 2020's.

Who was president under each of those respective years?

Who knows. Hard to say with any confidence.

More than 353,000 COVID-19 deaths have been reported since Jan. 1, compared with 352,000 COVID-19 deaths in the first 10 months of the pandemic.

Rashida Tliab admits, on camera, that she only bothers with wearing a mask when there are cameras on her.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) thinks masks only need to be worn if someone is there to catch you without one, according to remarks caught on video during a Detroit community event.

The "Squad" member told attendees at the event that she only wore a mask because a "Republican tracker" was filming her. After doing an event with Housing and Urban Development (HUD) secretary Marcia Fudge on Monday, Tlaib conversed with a maskless attendee who mistakenly thought the Democrat scolded him for being "the one unmasked guy" in the area. Tlaib responded by insisting she only wore a mask because a "Republican tracker" was recording the exchange.

"Oh, no, oh, not you!" Tlaib said as she pulled her mask away from her face. "No, no, no--I'm just wearing it because I've got a Republican tracker here."

Megyn Kelly reports that the all-boys school she just pulled her boys out of because it was too woke will no longer refer to its all-boys student body as "boys."

"[I] just heard an update on the boys school that we left. They're no longer referring to the boys as 'boys.' They’re no longer calling the boys -- it's an all-boys school. They no longer say 'your sons.' They just say 'your child.' 'Your children.' 'Your individual.'"

Brian Laundrie used Gabby Petito's bank card three days after she vanished, lawyer for the Petito family claims.

Brian Laundrie used Gabby Petito's bank card in Wyoming just three days after the slain 22-year-old Long Island native was last seen alive, her family's lawyer said Tuesday.

Petito was last spotted at a Wyoming restaurant on Aug 27, while Laundrie, 23, returned home alone in her van on Sept. 1 -- and the boyfriend has since gone on the run from the feds.

"You can look at his state of mind by his actions," Petito family attorney Richard Stafford said on the "Dr. Phil" show on CBS-TV.

"He ran, he stole her credit card, he used her credit card to get home, and then ran from the police," Stafford said. "That's going to show a lot what he was thinking back then."

A DOJ apparatchik admits that antifa violence is not tracked by Biden's government.

Not as antifa's violence, at least. Violence committed by antifa are just added to the "anti-government extremism" pool which is then blamed on conservatives.

But they continue tracking how much violence antifa is responsible for, euphemizing them as "individuals" who may identify with antifa.

ESPN suspended commentator Sage Steele for daring to suggest that maybe, just maybe, Barack Obama was more white than black.

ESPN anchor Sage Steele has been put on leave following an awe-inspiring podcast rant in which she called her employer's vaccine mandate "sick," and questioned former President Barack Obama's blackness.

Steele also said that female reporters "know what they doing" when they dress provocatively -- and if that's actually controversial then I've never enjoyed a Bloody Mary during morning working hours.

She made her remarks on former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler's podcast last week and, sadly, has since backed down from them.

A "network source" quoted in the Daily Mail said Steele had been removed to recover from the Wuhan Flu, after taking the mandated vaccination shot over her own objections.

...

Asked last week about ESPN’s vaccine mandate, Steele said, "I respect everyone's decision, I really do, but to mandate it is sick and it's scary to me in many ways. But I have a job, a job that I love and, frankly, a job that I need."

...

She claimed that [an unnamed] show host told her she had to choose either white or black when filling out federal census data. Steele said the host then cited that Obama identified as black on his census.

"I'm like, 'Well, congratulations to the president. That's his thing,'" Steele said.

"I think that’s fascinating considering his black dad was nowhere to be found, but his white mom and grandma raised him, but hey, you do you. I'm going to do me."

Steele is herself biracial (half black, half Italian) so you think she'd be permitted to comment upon a subject with which she has personal knowledge but no, leftwing corporate culture will not allow you to speak against leftwing religious dogmas.

427,000 parents have written a scathing reply letter to Merrick Garland, protesting this "moderate, centrist" AG's drive to label them terrorists:

This week, however, the leaders of almost two dozen parent organizations fired back with a scathing letter of their own--and it is epic. The letter, written on behalf of members of several parent organizations, made clear that the [National School Board Association's, or NBSA's] claims of "hate" and "terrorism" were shameful:

NSBA cites a tiny number of minor incidents in order to insinuate that parents who are criticizing and protesting the decisions of school boards are engaging in, or may be engaging in, "domestic terrorism and hate crimes." NSBA even invokes the PATRIOT Act. The association of legitimate protest with terrorism and violence reveals both your contempt for parents and your unwillingness to understand and hear the sincere cries of parents on behalf of their children. To equate parents with terrorists dishonors the thousands of victims of actual terrorism around the world. Have you no shame?

The parent organizations pointed out that the NSBA's call for the federal government to use its power against parents was in itself a menacing and "thinly veiled threat, intended to intimidate into silence and submission the very constituents that [the NSBA] members ostensibly represent." I mean, what else would you call asking the president to sic the Department of Justice, the FBI, Homeland Security, the Secret Service Assessment Center, and the Postal Service on America's parents?

Someone at Instapundit wrote that Biden is declaring everyone in America a terrorist -- except for actual terrorists.

Corrupt George Soros prosecutor Kim Foxx has refused to charge five gang members for a fatal shooting, saying they were "mutual combatants" in the shootout, and therefore, I guess, acting lawfully.

From the Chicago Sun-Times:

Five men linked to a deadly gang-related shootout Friday in Austin were released from custody after prosecutors declined to charge each of them with a pair of felonies, including first-degree murder, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned.

The brazen mid-morning gunfight, which left one shooter dead and two of the suspects wounded, stemmed from an internal dispute between two factions of the Four Corner Hustlers street gang, according to an internal police report and a law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation.

The source said police sought to charge all five suspects with murder and aggravated battery. By Sunday morning, a Chicago police spokeswoman acknowledged the suspects had "been released without charges."

I wonder if Kim Foxx and John McCain were Soros Buddies together. I mean, until he went to hell.
