    PauleE 556pm – The FBI’s announcing that they are not investigating Flynn implies that they do not consider that he lied to them about the telecons or anything else. Info to the contrary is always welcome to keep us informed.
    BradC 719am – Before the leftwing media cries ‘hypocrisy’ about that RNC server use, we have to remember that it’s only hypocrisy if the Repubs are caught using that server for government, and not party, business. But your alerting us all to such use is appreciated.

    GeorgeR – interesting video here on Bush administration’s 22 million missing emails. It does seem quite hypocritical to chant “lock her up” while giving Bush a pass.
    According to what will probably be considered ‘fake’ by the right, the reporter says critical government communications were on that server.

    It was funny to hear the two CBS talking heads admit that the press dug its own grave on truthfulness (that’s you PE) with their own actions. Trump had nothing to do with that was their conclusion. Its their problem to fix. Its good to know that the PE’s of the world will reject that and keep working hard to inadvertently ensure the Presidents reelection. 😉

    Well, since the libs are still taking two aspirins and refusing to get out of bed this fine day, how about a little hypothetical make believe story.
    It is way too early to put this forth. Like maybe 18 months too early. But, I shall continue with storytime. Consider that if the trajectory remains the same, the Bernie Bros and the basket full of Malcontents will turn on the Democrat Establishment, aka, the DINOs. An ugly scenario not doubt. Let the fingerprinting begin!
    The libs should thank us for wiping the floor with the Clintons. That political dynasty was sending in the way of true progress. They could also thank Trump for cleaning up a complicit press. Lord knows this nation needs a fair and hard hitting unbiased 4th Estate. A healthy democracy needs it. Just joking. The MSM will remain what it is, biased and fake. At least Trump is trying to save them from themselves.
    Funny, this Agenda 21 thang is adjusting their timeline. Originally, it was Agenda 2050, but the kids got too impatient and childish (like a couple of our dear friends suffering from BDS) and started believing their own hype in the bubble. So, they pulled back the timeline and called it Agenda 21. As of last night, it is being called Agenda 30. Whatever.
    Hope burns eternal.

    Latest Polls for your reading pleasure
    All polls except Rasmussen show Trump failing out of the bottom in the Polls and this is before his awful and weird performance in yesterdays Press Conference. Gallup is now an astounding -18, an 18 point drop in less than a month. These numbers are unbelievably low with no historical similarity since polling began, for a new president:
    Gallup -18
    Pew – 17
    Quinnipiac -9
    CBS -9
    CNN -9
    IBD -6
    Economist -3
    PPP -10
    The two in Trumps Favor
    Fox +1 (down from +11 after the inauguration)
    Rasmussen +10

    From Fox News Anchor Shepard Smith, a Conservative news outlet . Wow, this guy has no friends. Next we will see distancing from the Repubs.
    In a brief message to the president, Smith blasted Trump for his treatment of the media and specifically CNN reporters:
    It’s crazy what we’re watching every day. It’s absolutely crazy. He keeps repeating ridiculous throwaway lines that are not true at all and sort of avoiding this issue of Russia as if we’re some kind of fools for asking the question. Really? Your opposition was hacked, and the Russians were responsible for it, and your people were on the phone with Russia on the same day it was happening, and we’re fools for asking the questions?
    No, sir. We’re not fools for asking these questions. And we demand to know the answer to this question. You owe this to the American people. Your supporters will support you either way. If your people were on the phone with her, what were they saying? We have a right to know. We absolutely do.
    And that you call us “fake news” and put us down like children for asking these questions on behalf of the American people is inconsequential. The people deserve that answer at very least.
