It’s Time For Trump’s Critics To Admit 
Russian Collusion Didn’t Happen

{thefederalist.com} ~ With dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report complete and the special counsel’s conclusion that neither President Trump nor anyone associated with his campaign conspired or coordinated with Russia... to influence the 2016 presidential election, or to hack scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton and Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails, it is time for the president’s critics to accept reality: There was no Trump-Russia collusion. There was, however, a scandalous abuse of the rule of law by scumbag/liar-nObama administration officials and career Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation employees, a shameful politicization of the Russia investigation by congressional Democrats, and a disgraceful abdication of journalistic integrity by many members of the media. While we still do not know the entire string of shenanigans pulled by those running the Russia collusion investigation, the details  exposed to date should shock Americans. The DOJ and FBI used unverified opposition research to obtain a court order to surveil a former Trump advisor, and thereby obtain access to past campaign communiques. In applying for the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) order, the DOJ and FBI did not disclose to the secret surveillance court that the DNC and scumbag/liar-Clinton funded the Christopher Steele dossier. The FISA application also did not inform the court of Steele’s bias and his desperation to keep Trump out of the White House. The FISA application also relied on double and triple hearsay, and on unnamed and unknown sources, lacking a trail of reliable intelligence...   http://thefederalist.com/2019/03/26/time-trumps-critics-admit-russian-collusion-didnt-happen/?utm_source=The+Federalist+List&utm_campaign=29f69687df-RSS_The_Federalist_Daily_Updates_w_Transom&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_cfcb868ceb-29f69687df-83771801

Trump Is Right: Our Border Is In Crisis, 
And Congress Is Ignoring It

{thefederalist.com} ~ Since the National Emergencies Act became law in 1976, U.S. presidents have declared more than 50 emergencies. More than 30 are ongoing... In the past, presidents of both parties have used their emergency powers to reallocate federal funds, reassign government employees, and build infrastructure to protect Americans from terrorist attacks, weapons of mass destruction, and drug cartels. Our country has been in a continuous state of emergency for nearly four decades, not that Congress ever noticed. Not once has Congress reviewed a single declaration in a timely manner, as the law requires. Not a single time have members, who routinely vote to fund all sorts of unauthorized, constitutionally questionable federal programs, voted to terminate one of these declarations. Congress originally granted presidents broad authority to declare emergencies  undefined in legislation because emergencies are unpredictable by nature. As our Founders understood, the idea that Congress should forever deliberate over a possible military action could leave our country defenseless in the face of immediate danger. Also, constitutionally speaking, the presidency has inherent power to direct the military, the main purpose of which is to defend U.S. territory. If foreign adversaries were to suddenly attack Texas or California, is there any doubt the commander-in-chief should have the power to act without committee hearings first? Finally, Congress has never voted to disapprove an emergency declaration, because the most political branch of government prefers to delay or deny its responsibilities and grouse later...
House Democrats Nix Born Alive 
Bill For A 20th Time

{dailycaller.com} ~ House Democrats nixed Republicans’ request for unanimous consent to bring the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act... to a vote for a 20th time Monday. Republican Georgia Rep. Rick Allen made the call for unanimous consent Monday. Numerous Republican representatives have made the same petition to consider the bill. A failed Senate vote on a counterpart bill drew major attention in late February. After the 17th rejection, House Republican leaders announced their strategy to bring the anti-infanticide legislation to the floor March 13. They plan to bypass Democrats with a discharge petition, which would allow the House to vote with only an absolute majority, Minority Whip Steve Scalise said. “I’m calling on every member of Congress to sign the discharge petition when it ripens in a few weeks so that we can bring this bill to the floor, have this debate where all the country can see that this process, this grisly process, barbaric process of murdering babies when they are born alive is legal in many states and, in fact, needs to be stopped,” Scalise said...

With Collusion Deep-Sixed, Resistance Switches 
To Even Crazier Claims Of Obstruction

{thefederalist.com} ~ The media and diehard resistance Democratic politicians and pundits are going to do the same thing with the obstruction of justice issue they did for two years with collusion... It’s beginning with the invention of the false  narrative that there’s a “fight” with Attorney General William Barr over releasing the special counsel investigation report to Congress. It’s the old political hackery of demanding the inevitable. Everybody knows Barr will release everything he can lawfully disclose, and it seems at the moment that most of the obstruction evidence is derived from President Trump’s public actions and statements, which suggests evidence was obtained outside of otherwise restricted grand jury or classified channels and is releasable. As with the two-year collusion narrative debacle, they’re projecting onto Barr all of their hopes and wishes of scandal, then packaging their unsubstantiated assumptions into a cable news panel argument as if it were actually occurring. It’s not. As Barr clearly stated in his letter to Congress, “I am mindful of the public interest in this matter. For that reason, my goal and intent is to release as much of the Special Counsel’s report as I can consistent with applicable law, regulations, and Departmental policies.” Nothing about that statement says anything resembling what we’re hearing now from pundits and Democratic politicians talking about a “fight” to pry this information out of the clutches of a resistant attorney general...

John Walker Lindh Should Not Be Released Early

{investigativeproject.org} ~ On May 23, the gates of the FCI-Terre Haute federal prison will swing open and convicted Islamic terrorist John Walker Lindhwill walk free... His pending release has reopened wounds in the hearts of the family members who lost a loved one in Afghanistan because of Lindh. One family member described it as "a slap in the face." Lindh is a committed jihadist who has not renounced his radical ideology during his 17 years in prison. A 2017 National Counterterrorism Center report cited last week by Fox News said that Lindh has "continued to advocate for global jihad and to write and translate violent extremist texts." He took up arms in combat against the United States after attending an al-Qaida training camp and meeting with Osama bin Laden in June 2001. Lindh, many believe, was responsible for the death of John Micheal Spann, a decorated United States Marine officer serving with a CIA paramilitary unit in Afghanistan in 2001. U.S. allied forces captured Lindh and held him at the Qali-Jangi prison at Mazar-e Sharif, along with other jihadists including members of the Taliban and al-Qaida. Spann and another CIA officer had learned of Lindh's identity and sought to interview him regarding what he knew about terrorist operations in Afghanistan. Lindh failed to tell Spann and the other interrogators that other inmates in Qali-Jangi had obtained weapons and explosives and were plotting an assault on security forces in an escape attempt. Spann was shot and killed in the assault, becoming the first U.S. casualty in Afghanistan...   https://www.investigativeproject.org/7869/john-walker-lindh-should-not-be-released-early

No Hurry. I Can Wait

{tommclaughlin.blogspot.com} ~ Americans got excited about two things last week: the arrival of spring on Wednesday and the release of the Mueller Report on Friday. However, not much change is noticeable in either case.

It’s been a long winter in western Maine. We’ve been buried in snow since last November and there’s still more than a foot of it on the ground — more than two feet in places. Sunday I had to walk through drifts up to my thighs to check a meter on a property for which I’m responsible. As I write this on Monday, my thermometer hasn’t risen above the thirties. The same is predicted for Tuesday. We still can’t see over the snow banks at several intersections and must nose out a few inches at a time before safely accelerating.

The dirty cop-Mueller Report was released Friday to Attorney General Robert Barr. Democrats demanded it be made public immediately and AG Robert Barr issued a four-page summary Sunday afternoon. House and Senate Democrats doubt Barr’s honesty because Trump appointed him and demand to see the whole thing. Years of saturation coverage by Mainstream Media have convinced half of all Americans that Trump colluded with Russia but Barr quoted from the dirty cop-Mueller Report as follows: “The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.” In spite of that, House Democrats insist their myriad investigations will continue. Expect little change for the foreseeable future.

In spite of our long, cold winter, Democrats claim global warming will destroy the world in twelve years. They want a “Green New Deal” which would eliminate fossil fuels and nuclear energy to rely solely on wind and solar power. It would eliminate 99% of cars within ten years. Any Democrats who disagree stay pretty quiet, especially the ones running for president. Neither polar ice caps nor Himalayan glaciers have melted as predicted. Polar bears are thriving too, but none of that has quieted global warming alarmists.

On election day, I go to the Lovell Town Hall and vote, but I don’t stay up late that night to see who wins or loses. On New Year’s Eve, I don’t stay up late to see the ball drop in Times Square either. I discover sometime after waking up in January that the ball dropped without me and things go on as they always have.

I’m in no rush to know things unless it’s either a medical emergency or someone is trying to break into my house. Break-ins are rare in rural Maine because most of us have guns and criminals know that. Medical emergencies, however, can happen to anybody, anywhere, and we have to wait longer for help out here. It’s a trade off if you prefer life in the slow lane, which I do.  
how-to-address-usps-mail-postcards-envelopes-packages.jpg
I grew up way back in the twentieth century when mail came in envelopes. Telephones were attached to wires and there was only one line per household. When it rang, people answered it. They didn’t let it go to voicemail because there wasn’t any such thing. In my family of origin, I had four sisters and three brothers, so there was often a race to see who could get to the ringing phone first. Whoever the call was for couldn’t tie up the line long because there was always a sibling or parent either expecting a call or waiting to make one.  
partyline_manners.jpg
By the 1970s life in Massachusetts was getting fast and busy so I moved my family to rural Maine where only party lines were available. Our children were little and enjoyed playing with each other, so they didn’t need to talk on the phone to friends who lived miles away. That came a decade later — but by then we had a private line. With three teenage girls, I had to impose a ten-minute limit on each call. If someone was trying to reach me and the line was busy, they had to try every five minutes or so by actually dialing several numbers each time, then waiting for either another busy signal or a ring. Nobody “dials” anymore; we press buttons, but the word stays with us sans function.

Politics have always interested me. They still do, but I’m increasingly put off by breathless, sensational reporting on radio as well as affected eyebrow-raising and forehead-knitting by pretentious television news anchors and reporters. To avoid all that, I’m getting most of my news from reading text online.

By the time this appears in newspapers, it will have warmed up a bit and spring will have become less of a tease. Nearly all this snow will be gone in a month, but we can expect partisan rancor against our president to continue regardless of dirty cop-Meuller Report revelations. It may even escalate.
