It's okay. Matt That Won has gravitas. He's probably the better candydate. I've just never heard him speak.

Okay, so now I've heard him speak--as have a lot of people. Castelli has been everywhere; his CIA experience gives him a platform to speak on the Mar-a-Lago affair.

He comes out swinging (please give him a follow):

I found I was already following him. Everything he says should be obvious to anyone, whether ex-CIA or not. That it isn't, or that Stefanik doesn't put "America First," is what keeps me awake at night.

In all fairness, it is a superior reaction to that of former Australian Prime Minister, Scott ('Scotty from Marketing") Morrison, who left on vacation to Hawai'i during one of the most catastrophic bushfire events in history.

Press criticism brought him back to his senses long enough to excuse himself with the remark "Look, I don't hold the hoses".

I rank this failure to resemble a human being even above that of Ted "Cancun" Cruz.

4:40pm Eastern: Matt Castelli is about to be on Deadline White House

He's handsome and was a CIA Agent for 15 years.

He just called Stefanik a TRAITOR. Nicolle gasped.

He's on fire. Gotta see this interview. Followed him, he was great.

NY-21 congressional race: Castelli, Stefanik campaigns spar over allegiance to country

MAURY THOMPSON Special to The Post-Star Sep 7, 2022

Harsh rhetoric continues in the 21st Congressional District race with Democratic challenger Matt Castelli accusing U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-Schuylerville, of being “a traitor” to the United States, and the Stefanik campaign accusing Castelli of colluding in “a coup” against former President Trump.

Castelli, in a video message posted on his campaign Twitter page on Aug. 31, said, “She (Stefanik) sold out our country all so she could continue having million-dollar fundraisers at Mar-a-Lago and pipe dreams of being vice president. … We need a patriot. Stefanik is a traitor.”

Castelli was speaking in the context of Stefanik’s reaction to the Aug. 6 raid of Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida, home and resort, when the FBI removed classified documents that had been stored at Mar-a-Lago.

“This is Russia hoax 2.0. The Biden White House is using the DOJ and the FBI as political weapons to target Biden’s most likely 2024 opponent,” Stefanik posted on Twitter.

In a Sept. 1 interview on the MSNBC television program “Deadline White House,” Castelli reiterated that “Elise Stefanik, in my estimation, is a traitor,” and he has accused Stefanik of being “a traitor” in at least one other Twitter post.

fanik was not available to respond directly to Castelli’s accusation.

Alex DeGrasse, a Stefanik senior adviser, said that Castelli, while director of counterterrorism for the National Security Council, worked under National Security Advisor Susan Rice “and tried to launch a deep state coup against President Trump.”

Trump, in April 2017, suggested to The New York Times, without evidence, that Rice had committed a crime by seeking the identities of Trump officials under surveillance by United State spy agencies in order to leak the information to reporters.

Castelli worked for the National Security Council in both the Obama and Trump administrations.

Asked for documentation of the alleged coup attempt, DeGrasse said Wednesday that Castelli “is directly tied to the folks such as Susan Rice who launched a coup against President Trump.”

“So yes, we believe he’s involved in that and have heard it from multiple people,” DeGrasse said.

eGrasse said, without evidence, that Castelli was forced out of the Trump administration because of “bad behavior” and because he was a party to leaking documents.

Castelli has insisted that he left the Trump administration when his assignment to the National Security Council was completed in February 2018, and he was not forced out. He returned to regular duty with the CIA and left the CIA voluntarily in 2020 to pursue other opportunities.

Stefanik has had a heck of a fascist week. Coming out for three issues that are 20 percent issues in the US, whilst proclaiming that she is working for !America!

Monday - Boasts about being a co-sponsor to 15 week nation abortion ban.

Wednesday - Came out against the "implementation of CRT by any other name in New York classrooms."

Saturday - Covers the gun issue by posting this, and adding the message, which is considered a dog whistle for violence by those you track such things: "come and take them"

First of all, Columbus never set foot on what is now the United States, unless you want to count Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. He certainly had nothing whatsoever to do with “paving the way” for our constitutional republic, as Stefanik claims.

Well, we know the Vikings got here before Columbus. Just last year they were able to date lumber used in building the settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows to the 990s - 1020s CE using a solar storm.

https://www.theguardian.com/science/202 ... %20testify
Half a millennium before Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic, the Vikings reached the “New World”, as the remains of timber buildings at L’Anse aux Meadows on the northern tip of Canada’s Newfoundland testify.

The Icelandic sagas – oral histories written down hundreds of years later – tell of a leader named Leif Erikson and a settlement called “Vinland”, assumed to be coastal North America. But while it is known that the Norse landed in Canada, exactly when they set up camp to become the first Europeans to cross the Atlantic, marking the moment when the globe was first known to have been encircled by humans, has remained imprecise.

Now scientists using a new type of dating technique and taking a long-ago solar storm as their reference point have established that the settlement was occupied in AD1021 – all by examining tree rings.

Three juniper and fir logs that were cut from the Newfoundland settlement date it to exactly a millennium ago, 471 years before Columbus’s first voyage.

It has been thought that the settlement, L’Anse aux Meadows, was thriving somewhere between 990 and 1050. This was based on stylistic analysis of architectural remains and a handful of artefacts examined after the settlement was discovered 60 years ago. The dates also tally with interpretations of the Icelandic sagas, which were written down in the 1200s

This study, published in the journal Nature, made use of the cosmic-ray induced upsurge in atmospheric radiocarbon concentrations during a known solar storm in AD993, which released an enormous pulse of radiation that was absorbed by trees at the time.

[...]

Proof that the trees were cut by Vikings was there, too. “They had all been modified by metal tools, evident from their characteristically clean, low-angle cuts. Such implements were not manufactured by the Indigenous inhabitants of the area at the time,” the study by scientists at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands said.
There's a lot more. It's really an interesting article!

At any rate, if we find it necessary to celebrate the first European to reach the New World, we shouldn't be celebrating Columbus.


(Oh, come on, y'all know I'm gonna stick up for the Vikings! :lol: )

We were at L’Anse aux Meadows in 2017. It's an awesome site (and sight). I will have to read the article.

Thanks for the article. Somehow, we got off topic. :oopsy:

wow.. That is a horrible doom and gloom mailer.
If I were on the side opposing that trash, coming out with a feel-good fact based, problem solving, and goal oriented mailer would be fun.

Gas prices are dropping here. Is that an old mailer?

We laugh our asses off every time we see that Domino's commercial for a discount on your order because gas prices are so high. I filled up at $2.69 yesterday.

My take: She carefully said "last July", which can be parsed as "July 2021". Stefanik is all about the parsing. She prides herself on being able to say "I never said that!" It's a game to her, in the "she thinks she's clever" way.

Scum.
