op ed review 6/11
The establishment media’s bias was on full display following
James Comey’s congressional hearing Wednesday. Headlines focused on Comey’s
testimony that President Donald Trump “lied,” concealing the more pertinent and
shocking revelations exposed during the hearing.
James Comey’s public testimony exonerates President Trump of
obstruction of justice. To put it simply, “hoping” that something happens is
not a crime.
“..the biggest bombshell from Comey’s testimony was the
revelation that then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch urged him to classify the
Hillary Clinton email probe as a "matter" and not an
"investigation."…..”this was a nefarious way of her making sure that
the bureau and Jim Comey’s investigators had no way of obtaining subpoenas to
subpoena people before a grand jury.”
Nearly six in 10 Americans are upset with the news media,
claiming in a new poll that it makes them angry and dissatisfied.

COLUMN OF THE WEEK
Investor’s Business Daily
6/8
If
there's one thing Congress' Russia hearings have shown, it's that President
Trump has driven the Democratic Party and far-left media to near insanity. How
else can you explain their unhealthy fixation on all things Trump and nonstop
efforts to end his presidency?
No,
we're not joking. Listening to the hearings on Wednesday and Thursday, when
National Intelligence Director Dan Coats, National Security Director Adm.
Michael Rogers, Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, and former FBI Director
James Comey testified, was a revelation. In their questioning, Democrats were
plainly not interested in the truth. They merely hoped for something, anything,
that would be damning or damaging to Trump. In particular, they hoped for
evidence of "obstruction of justice" to impeach Trump.
But
they didn't get it. Under persistent questioning Wednesday, Coats, Rogers and
McCabe all emphatically denied that Trump had brought improper pressure to bear
on the Russia investigation. None.
Again,
on Thursday, Comey drove that point home, saying that he did not perceive
anything that Trump said to him as an attempt to obstruct "the broader
investigation into Russia or possible links to his campaign." So in the end, as the current saying goes, it
was a big nothing-burger, with cheese. And instead of a grand inquisition, it
turned into rather pathetic political theater. Is this how the Democrats hope
to regain power?
Meanwhile,
the left-leaning, Trump-despising media had already established the
journalistic narrative that Trump was likely guilty of "obstruction of
justice," or possibly of colluding with a foreign power during an
election. Their impeachment hopes soared. As Comey's testimony neared, CNN
launched near-nonstop coverage. Other media jumped in, wondering what nasty
revelations the fired former FBI director might spill. The week started out
promising: CNN reported on Tuesday that Comey would "refute Trump's
assertion that Trump was told he was not under investigation." So did ABC.
Unfortunately,
Comey made it clear that he told Trump he was not under investigation,
multiple times. CNN and ABC were forced to retract their phony reports. They
weren't the only media with egg on their faces. Citing four "current and
former" intelligence officials, the New York Times reported earlier this
year that key Trump campaign officials "had repeated contacts with senior
Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election." It was a
blockbuster revelation, one that potentially could have ended Trump's
presidency. Care to comment, Mr. Comey? "In the main, it was not
true," he said Thursday.
The
media focused for weeks on these lines of inquiry. Yet, as Sen. Marco Rubio
noted Thursday, the only thing from the entire investigation that didn't get
leaked by Comey and others to the media was the essential fact that Donald
Trump himself was not under investigation at all by the FBI. Even so,
don't expect this to end soon. The Democrats now stand on the prow of their
party like a mad, enraged Captain Ahab, scanning the horizon for the sign of
their hated White Whale – Donald Trump.
Just
like the fabled captain of literature, they have endangered their whole party
in their quest to get Trump. As they do, very quietly, Trump is going about
undoing eight years of bad governance by President Obama.
Over
the past couple of weeks, as the media and congressional Democrats have focused
on Comey and the Washington impeachment circus, Trump has been on a roll. He
named 12 new well-regarded federal judges to the bench, rolled back one of the EPA's "most expensive
regulations ever," put an end to Obama's corrupt policy of using
public money to enrich far-left
activist groups, pulled the U.S. out of the laughably bad but absurdly costly
Paris Climate Change Agreement, and continued a far-reaching reversal of
regulations that
the American Action Forum called a "profound" shift in policy that
will have a major impact on the U.S. economy.
And
on Thursday, while Comey spoke and Democrats fumed, the House passed a
bill that would undo
some of the most pernicious elements of the Dodd-Frank law — another promise
Trump made and is now on the verge of keeping. Not bad for two weeks' work.
As
for the Trump-haters in the Democratic Party and the media, the June IBD/TIPP
Poll, taken from May 30 to June 6, holds some bad news: Some 47% of
Americans agree
that "the investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and
Russia is a political 'witch hunt' aimed at getting the president
impeached."
The
nonstop efforts to get Trump are failing. Piece by piece, Trump's putting his
agenda in place — just in time to watch the Democratic Party's ship go down.

OTHER COLUMNS
“This is not about law and order, it is not about justice,
it is not even about any investigation. This is about influence peddling, this
is about the search for vengeance, and this is about stopping the revolution
President Trump was elected to implement. This is everything that sickens
normal Americans about the swamp. America is on a knife’s edge. The question is
now whether Republicans in Congress will have the courage to stand with
President Trump and fight the deep state that was personified in Comey’s
testimony Thursday.”

[officials], know best how to create a strong and loving community. … In America
we don’t worship government. We worship God.”

LEFTIST WATCH
Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore on Tuesday launched a new secure
website for leakers to share information about the Trump administration.
In the era of President Trump, you might expect the left to
hunker down. Instead, it´s gravitating towards two breathtakingly ambitious
ideas. The first, a universal basic income, is an unconditional monthly cash
income to every man, woman, and child in the country. The second, a job
guarantee, is an open-ended commitment by the government to provide work, at a
living wage and with benefits, to anyone who wants it.

GLOBALONEY
Even though manipulated computer models and predictions of
global warming/climate change have been demonstrated to be completely
inaccurate, children are taught almost from the womb that the science is
settled and anyone who questions the agenda is stupid and shouldn’t be listened
to. No wonder they don’t ask any questions.
Without congressional ‘advice and consent,’ was US ever officially
in Paris climate accord?
U.S. Paid $1 Billion To Paris Agreement

Follow the money: The
standard progressive narrative tells us that corporate influence is why we
can’t have nice things. But a “nearly united corporate front” of Big Business,
according to the New York Times, sided with the left and tried to persuade
President Trump to keep the U.S. in the Paris climate pact.
Former Vice President Al Gore is now telling his climate
disciples that God commands us to go forth and fight global warming.
“Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace confronted former Vice
President Al Gore on his 2006 claim that unless drastic action was taken
humanity would face a “true planetary emergency” in the next decade. “Unless we
take drastic measures the world would reach a point of no return within 10
years,” which Gore said would precipitate a “true planetary crisis” due to
man-made global warming. Wallace pointed out it’s been 11 years since Gore made
the claim in his 2006 film “An Inconvenient Truth,” and there doesn’t seem to
be a planetary emergency.

ARTICLES
What I Saw at Evergreen State College: Evergreen is an anti-traditional college that
prides itself on its anti-capitalism, socialism, radical environmentalism,
postmodernism, and Marxism, with a special emphasis upon indigenous values that
convert the old American melting pot ideal into a subversive form of racist
multi-tribalism under the guise of progressive multiculturalism…Last but not
least, it was Rockefeller Republican Dan Evans who was one of the primary
founders of the Evergreen State College. Without his political will as
the governor of the State of Washington for 12 years (1965-1977), the Evergreen
State College would not exist. The very library that was taken over by the
students is named after him.
Kurt Schlichter: “It
was an undeniably awesome week when measured by the only metric that truly
matters, the amount of pain inflicted upon liberals. Now, we are not sadists;
we don’t delight in watching liberals suffer because their suffering itself
makes us happy (Okay, it makes us a little happy). Rather, liberals’ misery is
an important teaching aid that might succeed in instructing them in the folly
of their poisonous, ridiculous ideology, since reason doesn’t work. And they
had better learn and change their dangerous course before we all end up here.
Also, some sanctimonious jerks who pretend to be conservative humiliated
themselves again, and that’s always fun.”
Ask any black person which political party has been black
people’s political ally. With near unanimity, blacks would answer the
Democratic Party. Asked which political party has been hostile to blacks,
they’d say the Republican Party with similar unanimity. For better answers,
check out Prager University’s five-minute clip, “The Inconvenient Truth About
the Democratic Party,” by Carol Swain, professor of political science at
Vanderbilt University. Since its founding in the late 1820s, the Democratic
Party has defended slavery, started the Civil War, and opposed Reconstruction.
The Democratic Party imposed segregation. Its members engaged in the lynchings
of blacks and opposed
civil rights acts of the 1950s and ’60s. During Reconstruction, hundreds of black men were elected to
Southern state legislatures as Republicans, and 22 black Republicans served in
the U.S. Congress by 1900. The Democratic Party did not elect a black man to Congress
until 1935.

WISE WORDS
“Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and
intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the
public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are
rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.”
-Joseph
