My latest in PJ Media:
Representative Adam Schiff (D-Crazy Eyes) appeared on MSNBC’s “Deadline” Wednesday to pronounce the grim verdict of history on the man who indelibly dubbed him “Little Pencil Neck,” Donald J. Trump. “I feel that keenly,” Schiff declared, “I am very confident history will rebuke Donald Trump and everyone who stood with him.” Schiff’s disdain for the America-First president is nothing new, but in stating it this time he confirmed yet again the Democrats’ march toward socialism, as the business about history judging people is straight out of the Marxist talking points folder.
While his use of Marxist rhetoric is striking, Adam Schiff as the arbiter and judge of whom history will rebuke is laughable. This is, after all, the man who was still insisting as late as April 2019 that there was “ample evidence of collusion” between Trump and Russia “in plain sight,” and that “the obstruction of justice in particular in this case is far worse than anything that Richard Nixon did. I would say in every way this is more significant than Watergate.” Despite the fact that the Democratic Congressional leadership had its knives out for Trump from the moment he declared his candidacy, no such evidence of collusion or obstruction of justice was ever presented.
Yet Schiff has never apologized for being so resoundingly on the wrong side of history in that instance. He likely believes that the inexorable tide of history will prove him correct at last. Schiff probably believes this as fervently as Leon Trotsky did in his Mexican exile, before Stalin, who was too impatient to sit back and wait for history to do its work, sent one of his minions to plant an axe blade in Trotsky’s skull. And the real flow of history will likely go as unhappily, albeit less bloodily, for Schiff as it did for Trotsky.
Marxists are materialists, so all they have is history and the pseudo-religious faith that it will eventually prove them to have been right all along. The march of time is a slow but unstoppable progression toward collectivism and socialism. That’s why Leftists like to call themselves “progressives”: They hope to fool us into thinking that their policies and recommendations are ultimately unavoidable and destined to prevail, for that is what history itself dictates, and everything is progressing in the direction they favor.
By contrast, a person who acknowledges the existence of God and hence of moral absolutes will not prattle about being vindicated (or rebuked) by history, but will be more inclined to say something to the effect of, “Win or lose, I know I was right.”
There is more. Read the rest here.
BexarKat says
Yes, history – truthful or not – is written by the (electoral) victors. Let’s wait to see how history looks in 2024.

History will record Adam Schiff as one of the greatest CALUMNIATORS to sit in the US congress.
Calumny is a vicious sin and Adam Schiff obviously loves committing it.
Calumny is defined as:
-False accusation of crime, misconduct, or defect, knowingly or maliciously made or reported, to the injury of another; untruth maliciously spoken, to the detraction of another.
-the making of false and defamatory statements about someone in order to damage their reputation; slander.
-false accusation of an offense or a malicious misrepresentation of someone’s words or actions.
-(the act of making) a statement about someone that is not true and is intended to damage the reputation of that person.
-drag sb’s name through the mud
-A falsification or misrepresentation intended to disparage or discredit another.
-calumniation, defamation, hatchet job, traducement, obloquy, aspersion, defamation,a crude substitute for argument, libel, character assassination, vilification, smear
Origin of calumny
– Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J. writes in his Modern Catholic Dictionary that calumny is “Injuring another person’s good name by lying. It is doubly sinful, in unjustly depriving another of his good name and in telling an untruth. Since calumny violates justice, it involves the duty of making reparation for the foreseen injury inflicted. Hence the calumniator must try, not only to repair the harm done to another’s good name, but also to make up for any foreseen temporal loss that resulted from the calumny.”
Adam Schiff relishes this sin and doesn’t repent. He slanders and calumniates over half of Americans.
DazzleMe says
Mortimer,
You are exactly right and I love your definitions you are spot on!
notnolib says
If you voted for or support EO China Joe Biden you are responsible for the murder of 13 American servicemen, a bunch of Afghani children, every rape that happens to an Afghani girl, every murder or rape that occurs from any of the illegals, the assaults that occurred by Afghani terrorists on our military bases, every point of excess inflation, supply chain problems, etc. etc…….
Why? Because that’s how it works!
wpm says
“I feel that keenly” ,Adam Schiff says, over four years chasing his feelings trying to make facts out of his “feelings” that the Russians threw the 2016 election .History I think will show what a real clown this guy is ,he is like the guy in the peanuts cartoon Luinus waiting for the Great Pumpkin to visit his Pumpkin patch every year meeting with the MSM they MSM trying to make facts out of this idiots feelings. Now we have a senile old ghost in the Whitehouse with his bagman son Hunter to pick up his bribes world wide and an assortment of lunatic hate America first progressives in charge as ghostman,s political appointees.. Biden comes out of his basement once in a while(like a ghost) mumbles some nonsense to the press then disappears with out explaining anything .His handlers try to untangle or get some meaning out of the tea leaves and chicken bones of words this mumbling bumbling senile hack vomits out.
mortimer says
Adam Schiff’s need to calumniate others been compared to Wile E. Coyote trying catch the roadrunner and then falling off the cliff. Schiff’s constant love of calumniating others could be a symptom of Asperger’s Syndrome.
gravenimage says
Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin is deluded, but he’s a nice guy (and a kid). Can’t say the same about Adam Schiff, on either count.
Infidel says
In a sane world, Adam Schitt’s stoogies like Eric Swalwell would be under investigation for treason. In fact, so would Adam Schitt, for leaking classified information
James Lincoln says
Yes, Infidel.
The current selective enforcement / nonenforcement of US laws is one of the most destructive forces in our country right now.
revereridesagain says
Schiff is a snake. He even looks like one. Power over others is his ‘god’.
But what can I know, not being a “believer” and therefore incapable of conceiving of a rational morality in which the rights of human beings are absolutes, since I know that is not handed down by an invisible imaginary omnipotent dictator in the sky according to “His” preferences — which include mass murder of “disobedient children” by fire and flood — and not our nature, which is held to be “fallen”?
How can anyone who refuses to believe such nonsense be anything but wikkid?
James Lincoln says
revereridesagain,
From a devout Christian:
One can be agnostic or atheist and still believe in the rights of human beings as absolutes – as a rational morality.
As I’ve stated before, as long as someone is a good person – and believes in the Golden rule, they can be my friend.
Best wishes.
b.a. freeman says
well put, JL. as a born-again christian, i would only add that even if somebody is not my friend, i am still willing to speak civilly with him. God does not command me to browbeat unbelievers (or kill them, as allah does), but to *live* with them, and let the Holy Spirit reach their souls. *I* cannot convince anybody of the good news; i can only convey it to others, and pray that the Lord reach those with whom i live.
James Lincoln says
b.a. freeman,
Thank you for your reply.
God bless.
gravenimage says
Spot on, James.
Elizabeth Lawson says
With absolutely NO apologies Mr. Schiff, I have to say that your conduct, and that of so many of your henchmen throughout the Trump political/personal ‘assassination’ was and is an utter disgrace. Over and over, even the most intellectually dull amongst us could hear and see your duplicity and deviousness. Just watch what happens in the upcoming election to fabricators and scoundrels like yourself – a well deserved kick in the pants to the obscurity that you well deserve.
mortimer says
Adam Schiff is a big part of the culture of calumny infecting the Dem Party’s culture. Ordinary Dems casually calumniate political opposition on a regular basis. Schiff lied on a daily basis that he had seen proof of collusion, when he had not seen it. He saw only a slanderous report that was admitted to be fabrications by the creator of it.
Schiff believes that his lies are justified. Can anything he says ever be trusted?
GenEarly says
Are “ordinary democRats” the “Good Germans” of Amerika? I know the rinos are the Quislings of our time!
b.a. freeman says
sadly, EL, U forget that the nazicrats aren’t willing to suffer electoral evaluation; they STEAL elections, rather than stand for them. it is also highly unlikely that the PRC (People’s Republic of California) will ever again elect a non-fascist to congress, since there are more fascists (nazicrats) in CA than there are americans (who are leaving in droves, thus giving the nazicrats an even bigger advantage). i can confidently predict that mr. schiff will be re-elected next year, and will win every subsequent house election until he decides for whatever reason not to do so.
Wellington says
Projection on steroids.
somehistory says
This lying idiot should be ignored when it is possible to do so.
History doesn’t “judge” anyone. Perhaps those who read history books judge those about whom the history is written.
More importantly, our Creator, the Great Judge of all, will judge this weasel for what he is doing now and has done in his life’s “history.” shifty will be judged for what he has done, is doing, and what he will do in the remaining time he has left to do stuff. God will then “reward” the speck of dust according to His Judgment.
This human sack of worthless should be worried about that fact and focus less on what he believes…or pretends to believe…about Mr. Trump.
Rarely says
The whole story hasn’t played out yet so it’s impossible to tell if it will judge Trump by his accomplishments or by his distractions. Of course it will be determined by whose around to write it.
john smith says
Adam Shiff says history is going to rebuke Donald Trump, when the truth is history is going to rebuke the likes of him.
somehistory says
Let us here not wait for history. adam shiff, consider yourself rebuked! I rebuke you for your lies, your underhanded dealing, your constant attempts to frame others with things you have most likely committed…more than once.
Consider yourself rebuked, shiff, for being more than willing to hang all of the troubles that you and your cohorts in the c-rat party have done to make the common person suffer, on other people, and in this case, it’s Mr. Trump, but also those who like him, like him a heck of a lot better than you or the cheater, biden. This is shown by your part on the “commission” that seeks to blame ordinary…and innocent….citizens for the dem chicanery.
Keys says
Yes, he needs rebuking. He has a log in his eye – rather, a log cabin.
somehistory says
Another laugh……and if you don’t mind, a little addition, one cabin in each eye.
john smith says
Spot on Somehistory and Keys.
Terry Gain says
Adam Schiff claimed on numerous occasions that he had proof that President Trump conspired with Russia. He had nothing. Schiff is a consummate liar. President Trump was America’s best President since President Ronald Reagan.
AleX says
Schiff the pencil neck will remain his name in history.
gravenimage says
Schiff: ‘History Will Rebuke Donald Trump and Everyone Who Stood With Him’
………………..
What he means is that the left will persecute conservatives as much as they can get away with. Of course the appalling MSNBC is good with providing the appalling Shiff with a platform for his hatred of America.
tgusa says
Ed Buck and Adam Schiff are very close friends. Of course they are. Big democrat donor Ed Buck was found guilty on all counts for giving meth to 2 men he was having sex with who then died in his apartment.
Meanwhile I await Schiffs historical rebuke, looking forward to it.
OLD GUY says
Adam Schiff. or is it Shifty or Shit, they both fit him well. Pencil Neck, I think Trump was kinda nice at not calling his absolute political enemy something worse.
