The highlight of Marie Yovanovitch’s career illustrates everything that is wrong in the DC Swamp. – Those of you who watched last Friday’s fake “impeachment” clown show hearing all the way to the end – my condolences to all 6 of you – will be aware that those assembled in the hearing room’s audience gave ex-Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch a standing ovation as the hearing adjourned.
After all, she had given quite the performance, repeating over and over and over how her removal as the U.S. Ambassador to the Ukraine in April had made her “feel,” and how she had a big case of the sads over having to go to work at a cushy job at Georgetown University where she knocks down a couple hundred grand a year polluting the mushy minds of 18 year-olds with her globalist indoctrination propaganda. That’s a hard life by DC Swamp standards since it might require her to drive 30 minutes each way from and to the luxury townhome she no doubt occupies in Arlington, Alexandria or whatever enclave of like-minded “citizens of the world” she lives in.
Even worse, if her car’s in the shop, she might even have to – gasp! – take the nation’s cleanest and most efficient subway into work every once in awhile, which might cause her to have to mingle with some of the little people who don’t share her status as a part of America’s diplomatic corps. Oh, what a terrible lot in life she now must suffer through, all because of the Bad Orange Man in the White House.
Think about that standing ovation for a moment: Exactly who was present in that hearing room audience? The answer is obvious, isn’t it? The room was filled to the gills with Yovanovitch’s fellow DC Swamp rats, skunks and snakes. Lobbyists, political staffers, campaign advisors, fellow members of the Ivy League-educated “diplomatic corps.” Oh, and don’t forget the reporters and camera people – many of them were standing and applauding, too.
Toss in the corrupt Democrats – and a couple of Republicans as well – sitting on the Committee itself, and you had yourself a real microcosm of almost everything that is wrong with our national government today assembled right there in a single congressional hearing room. The only things missing were representatives from our still-corrupt dumpster fire of an FBI, or representatives from the CIA and other intelligence agencies. You know, someone like Eric Ciaramella.
That hearing room was basically populated by the same people who were in attendance at Nationals Park when President Trump was roundly booed during the 5th game of this year’s world series. Yovanovitch would not have received any similar treatment had her hearing been held in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where the crowd assembled for the game between Alabama and LSU gave Trump a long standing ovation of his own just a few weeks ago. Nor would she have received a standing O anywhere else out here in Flyover Country, that vast, red 80% of the continental United States that lies between the elitist enclaves along our East and West coasts.
Yovanovitch’s resume is impressive. She has served her country for 33 years in the only way she knows how to do it. The problem is that the only way she knows how to do it is from the globalist mindset, a mindset that places America’s best interests below the interests of he rest of the world. It is the mindset that for the 28 years prior to Trump’s taking office led to the steady diminution of the United States as a global superpower, and to the transfer of many trillions of dollars in American wealth to every tinhorn dictator, Marxist strongman and EU corruptocrat on the planet.
It’s the mindset of the DC Swamp and the corrupt news media that serves as its loyal megaphone. It’s the mindset that leads media hacks like Chris Wallace to characterize Yovanovitch as a “compelling witness.” Because, inside the Beltway, she was totally compelling. But outside the Beltway and between the coasts, not compelling at all.
Ultimately, that disconnect between the mindset of our society’s self-annointed elites and the rest of America – the real America – is why this impeachment coup effort will end up just like the failed Mueller coup attempt: A miserable, epic failure.
That is all.
It’s a good thing standing ovations don’t cause a president to get kicked out or making ONE ###ING bit of difference in an election.
The time for self praise and patting each other on the back is coming to an end.
That’s why they are so UTTERLY Desperate.
And it’s obvious.
Good opinion. You can tell it was an outside-the-beltway type author too, who thinks you can take the Metro-subway to Georgetown U. It doesn’t go to Georgetown...
I really wonder what all these media people think will happen to them if their wish for the downfall of our country was to really happen???
What do they think their lives would be like???
BFL
When you have no more facts, get out the emotion generating females. She “felt” intimidated. What was missing were the tears! That would have gotten Trump impeached for sure!
Put a woman on camera and pay her to flush out some tears and turn her face red. Reason and facts run out the door, and emotion rules.
Harsh words, I know, but true.
Over?
Cause they would be.
How high are they on the list of targets if God forbid the downfall and some semblance of civil war breaks out.
Media’s gotta be high on the list of targets in such a scenario, I would assume.
I could be completely wrong
She was removed Zelensky thought she was loyal to Pleshenko.. and he was right. She was not “fired”. She got a cushy job teaching one class a week for the same pay.
Another damned foreigner worming their way into the machinery of our foreign policy. She’s a Russian, immigrated to Canada, then to here. Grew up speaking Russian. Then there is Fiona Hill, moved here from the UK after finishing college. So of course we put her on the NSC. Then she hires the gold-dust twin Vindman Ukrainians.
Then there was Humma Weiner, the Egyptian moslem brotherhood princess who was realistically second in command at State. “Virginia’s foreign-born population has grown exponentially since 1970 from 1 in 100 to 1 in 9 in 2012, University of Virginia researchers found in census data”. https://www.richmond.com/news/local/foreign-born-population-has-increased-rapidly-in-va/article_c50ae2f3-9e81-5a5c-a7e4-b384750814ad.html
What the hell has gone wrong that our government is filled with so many people with foreign loyalties and emotional ties?
If it were only that benign...
What we are seeing with Crackie or Cokie Biden is just the tip of the iceberg. Nice racquet they got set-up for themselves:
1) Vote $#!+hole Country A a few Billion of my taxes for their arms purchase or to extend the Royal Airport another mile.
2) Country A will (of course) need some experts and consultants to spend all that money 'properly'.
3) Scrape up one of my worthless kids out of rehab and get him a paying gig. And the kids kind of slow, so nothing too demanding, right?
4) Demonize anyone as a racist krank that would even breathe a word about this epic fleecing and money laundering operation...
I think the only way the swamp can be dealt with at this point is to nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
We have given Ukraine 3 billion in aid since the Soros coup. According to Forbes, the average American pays 380,000 in Federal taxes in their lifetime.
That means about 8000 Americans worked their whole lives, and every penny of taxes they paid were given to Ukraine, one of the most corrupt nations on earth.
8000 Americans, every penny of taxes they paid, their entire life... for Ukraine.
Stefanik caught her in a complete and total direct lie. Yovanovich stated that the topic of Burisma had never been brought up by the prior administration. And yet she later stated that the prior admin had prepped her for questioning on the topic.

@ 36:00
And she said they prepped her on the role of Hunter Biden. Why would anyone need to be prepped on something so normal? They told us that it was utterly unremarkable that Hunter went there.
Taylor said he had no idea Hunter was there, and he took her place. So they prepped her, but not him.
And also, we are supposed to believe the Ambassador of an unstable corrupt country, wasn’t made aware that the Vice President’s son worked there, and worked in the singularly lightning rod industry in the country.
Our diplomats are flat out liars. (even though some served in Vietnam...still a damned liar)
Yovanovitch: "Yes."
Everyone with half a brain. "Then shut the hell up and get the hell out."
“Media’s gotta be high on the list of targets in such a scenario, I would assume.
I could be completely wrong”
...or not.
If you are going to get rid of lying and fake news, the media has got to go, followed very closely by lying politicians.
Agreed on the epic failure coming, one way or another.
Not sure this former ambassador suffers from putting America behind others. She certainly didn’t put George Soros or the #BidenCrimeFamily behind anyone or anything.
They came first and center, always.
Damn corrupt.
I view the ovation as a akin to having a nice word for the hooker you just plowed. “Nice job, babe, I left you a twenty on the dresser. That reminds me, can you break a twenty?”
“Yovanovitch would not have received any similar treatment had her hearing been held in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where the crowd assembled for the game between Alabama and LSU gave Trump a long standing ovation of his own just a few weeks ago.”
That’s an interesting point about today’s polarized politics: the very dissimilar politicians have very dissimilar and mutually exclusive audiences.
Take me for example. I am so tired of the Left’s lies that I only watch programs that I expect will abstain from covering Leftist lies. If they do cover it I literally mute them out.
By the way, if anyone from The Five is listening in on FR, I have a some advice:
Unless you are happy with 3/4 of your show being muted, you should consider not having Juan Williams on as a co-host.
I have no need to hear his predictable knee-jerk Democrat talking points - so its instant mute when he opens his mouth. Unfortunately, that’s almost the whole show - which is a shame, because I mostly like listening to the rest of them.
Feelings.....I’m an emotionally crippled social misfit with no adult coping skills because of my.....Feelings.....
