   RobertC 920am – It appears that you’re innocent of what went on during the 2016 campaign. No matter, but what I’m really disappointed in is that our anticipated lecture on the “spirit of the Constitution” and the “morality” of op-research is not forthcoming. In the interval, you might check back to see what ‘colluding’ and ‘conspiracy’ mean, and then attempt relate those with what Hillary and the DNC (with Obama’s help) did with the Russians. Sure was looking forward to your insights.

   Let Robert make her case. The immorality of it and all that stuff. She finds the whole affair rather unpalatable. Collusion with foreign officials and all that. Please, let her make her case and let the virtue signaling commence. She wants to claim the moral high ground. Her opinion is very important to her. We need to listen and feel her pain.
   I suppose some differences between between the two campaigns (Clinton and Trump) was the Trump Campaign was sitting around doing their thing when they were approached by some folks claiming they had dirt on a political opponent that they wished to share, while Hillary paid folks to go out and find some dirt, even if you have to make it up. One had a gift dropped in their laps while the other went out on a search and destroy mission. One had mana from heaven fall on their heads, while the other took a shovel to dig up whatever they could….and do some creative writing. Artistic license and all that.
   As much as many have much reverence for Woodward and Bernstein, the truth was they were approached by Deep Throat and the goods were dropped in their laps. It’s not like they uncovered the story all on their own, but simply had to go the leg work to verify the stuff they were given……but I digress.
   Another difference is that Trump the true novice never ran for office before, not even for the lowest of lowly position such as a school board position before (thank goodness, those school board folks are the most wacked out unhinged and ridiculed lowest of low folks on earth), while his opponent was a seasoned veteran of political campaigns. But, let Ms. Cross state her case of the immorality of it all.
   ———————————
   On a related topic and not addressed to Bobbie Sue:
   Hard to think of one country that has not hired lobbyists to have their case heard in Congress or the Administration. Just read that Venezula hired a US firm for PR and lobbying efforts to make their case. During the race to the White House, I was upset and dismayed that Trump brought into his campaign the guy who ran Bob Dole’s campaign. I was livid. Why would he bring a RINO into his campaign? Stay away from those mo fo neocons, Mr. Trump. Get the hell away from our 3rd Party candidate, Citizen Donald J. Trump. Screw that. Those types will ruin everything. After a bit of research, I discovered that Bob Dole is working for a DC firm whose client is Tawain. When Trump called the President of Tawain directly, the press and “foreign policy experts” blew a gasket. Nobody does that! China was deeply offended and dishonored, everybody but me went nuts. I knew that Bob Dole was lobbying for Tawain and had his man in the campaign. Thus, the direct call from Trump to Tawain. Fortunately, the Dole campaign manager did not last long on Trump’s team. Thank our lucky stars. Chalk that one up to inexperience and being a newcomer to DC. I suppose that don’t count as colluding with a foreign country because Tawain is not a country or is recognized as a country by the UN or anybody else, not even on the list of countries of the globe.
   Guess Trump took in Reince Priebus to throw the Establishment a bone and calm their nerves. He is gone as well. There is much positive things to say about experience, but what kind of experience? Reince did a good job all in all, straddling the line between the old and the new, between the inside and the outside. At least he did not sabotage Trump’s campaign via the RNC like the Debbie Whatzername Sargent Shultz the Nazi did to Bernie….but again, I digress.
   Exciting times, bro. Exciting times. As far as the Trump Tower thang goes, it looks like the worse case scenario is that Trump lied to the public in 2017 about any pre-knowledge of the meeting. Oh well. Maybe it was Jr. saying, “Pops, I am heading to a meeting where so and so says they have some dirt on dishonest Crooked Wall Street Whore Hillary”. Trump probably said let me know what you find.
   Yes, Trump lied. He say he would get the economy going with 3% GDP, but it came in at 4%. Liar! :).

   A point of clarification. I like Bob Dole. On any bill, he would bring in both sides of the issue into his office, one at a time. I remember a Tel-Com bill was working it’s way through Congress. He brought in the folks on the pro-side into his office and have them state their case with a open minded hearing, asking questions and hearing them out. Then he brought in the Ma Bell bigwig types into his office so they could address their concerns and point of view. Then the press went nuts saying he was cozying up to the evil powerful corperatists and lobbyists, lol. In reality, he educated himself and knew the in and outs of the bill more than anyone else and how it would affect one side or the other (or both), and was the most informed person on the bill on the Senate floor. That be Bob Dole. Good man and great sense of humor.
   My gripe with the RINOs is they simply do not want a good immigration reform bill, not to mention the Wall. Period. Rubio, Jeb and the Bush people, Graham, Scott Walker, McCain, Ted Cruz, the whole lot of them. They all have POVs and other issues I have points of agreement on, and they all can sound great in their speeches and rhetoric. But, they all go squishy on the border. All the Dems are opposed to clamping down on illegal immigration….all of them.
   So, the only ones that want The Wall, elimate the lottery program, eliminate chain migration, give top priority to the best and brightest concerning legal immigration…the only ones (besides the merger 11 members of the Heritage caucus) supporting such immigration policies are Trump and his Deplorables. Us against the world. That is familiar terrority for the Irredeemables……all 60 million of us. I like the odds better with Trump than with the “R”s getting the job done. After 30 years of promises. patience has grown thin. Get er done, Mr. President and we will continue cleaning up our side of the street by taking the trash out.

   Back in the USSR –
   In the crazy, topsy-turvy year of 2018, socialism is somehow on the rise in America. To those of us unfortunate enough to have been born in the Soviet Union, this is troubling.
   The new socialists say it’s different this time. They have a new name and everything: “Democratic Socialism.”
   Don’t buy it: It’s still based on the same old, failed redistributionist tenets as the old kind — the kind that gave rise to devastating failure in my family homeland.
   Yet their ideas just aren’t much different from those that formed the basis for that failed state: “from each according to his ability to each according to his needs.”
   The YDSA website even admits that some industries will have to come under government control: “While the large concentrations of capital in industries such as energy and steel may necessitate some form of state ownership, many consumer-goods industries might be best run as cooperatives.”

   ” Jones’s guest on his show the morning of the shooting (San Bernardino) had been, as chance would have it, Donald Trump. Jones had praised Trump, claiming that ninety per cent of his listeners were Trump supporters, and Trump had returned the favor, saying, “Your reputation is amazing. I will not let you down.”

   Also Jones believes Sandy Hook is a CIA conspiracy and never happened. Trump has never contradicted him on this.
   Alex Jones claims
   In September 2014, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who runs the website InfoWars, which had previously claimed that the murders were a “false flag” attack perpetrated by the government, made a new conspiracy claim that “no one died” at Sandy Hook Elementary School because the Uniform Crime Reports showed no murders in Newtown for 2012, and that the victims were “child actors.

    Your people are doing well, congratulations on this. I admit that censorship, especially on near-monopolies, is as good a political tactic as any other.
    A really smart idea would be to get the telecommunications companies to censor your political opponents, that would be more effective and no more in violation of free speech rights as this last move.

    Fact is, “socialism” only works when it’s paid for by capitalism..
    Let’s circle the barn again and look at the bigger picture.
    Socialism relies on an homogenous society. Once the borders are opened with a “free stuff” sign put up, immigrants from other cultures come rushing in and the system begins to break apart. They simply cannot maintain the safety net. We see the first nips of the wringer happening now in Sweden, Norway, and other places. Places like China (and Japan) are considered the most racist countries on the planet by those who travel there on a frequent basis. One cannot have both open borders and socialism. Likewise, one cannot have equality and freedom. That’s the facts of life.
    Socialism leads to an authoritarian system, or more precisely, an oligarchy government.
    Even though most think they know it all, here is a good tutorial of the types of governments that one should review now and then (and find helpful) as various labels are incorrectly tossed about on social media, media, and in the current lexicon.

    Imagine if you will that the Russian officials at Trump Towers have US connections to the “Dems” and the Russian connections where handpicked because of their US ties to Hillary and her Industrial Deep State Complex, complete with with payments made to reporters?
    -The Russian lawyer lady Natalia Veselnitskaya was working with Fusion GPS.
    -The talking points of the meeting were written up by Fusion GPS.
    -The Russian dude accompanying Natalia who has ties to Russian Intelligence? Holy Smokes, that looks bad! His lawyer has a history of involvement with the Clinton core circle. Part of the ”in crowd”.
    -The translator at the meeting? Worked for the State Department while Hillary was Sec of State, aka, Hillary’s State Department.
    They approached the Trump Campaign, not the other way around. Hmmmm.

    On a quiet day last Sunday, Trump Tower mania breaks loose, TAD goes berserk.
    -New York Times: “President Admits Focus of Trump Tower Meeting Was Getting Dirt on Clinton.”
    -Washington Post: “Trump admits son’s 2016 meeting with Russian lawyer was to seek ‘information on’ Clinton.”
    -Associated Press: “Trump acknowledges purpose of meeting with Russian lawyer.”
    -Tweeted NeverTrump writer David Frum, “Your lede: President Trump today confessed that his son, son-in-law, and campaign chair met in June 2016 with Russian agents in hope of obtaining Russian intelligence to sway the 2016 election.”
    The only problem with the news was that it was not news. The president had said precisely the same thing a year earlier. Trump had long ago, and in no uncertain terms, acknowledged that the proposed purpose of the meeting was for the Russians and Russian-Americans to offer dirt on Clinton.
    On July 13, 2017, not long after the story broke, Trump, at a news conference in Paris with French President Emmanuel Macron, described the Trump Tower meeting as an opportunity to receive “opposition research” on Clinton.
    “I think from a practical standpoint most people would’ve taken that meeting,” Trump said. “It’s called opposition research, or even research into your opponent…..Four days later, on July 17, 2017, Trump put it more succinctly. “Most politicians would have gone to a meeting like the one Don jr attended in order to get info on an opponent,” he tweeted. “That’s politics!”

    PaulE 241pm – I think the only power the feds have over the operation of news outlets is in the area of national security – if you broadcast classified stuff, they can shut you down. I’m not sure why anyone would answer such a question at all, unless ‘behaving badly’ is explicitly defined. If it is as you report, then I’m embarrassed for the 43%.

    The po’ ol’ fakenewsman is soooo confused. Perhaps those folks are aware of what’s happening in the real world –
    Congress recently approved new legislation that would force foreign-owned media organizations such as Qatar’s Al Jazeera to register as a foreign agent under U.S. law.
    The legislation, included in the annual National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, would mandate that foreign-owned media organizations register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA, a move that would shine greater sunlight on these organizations’ ties to foreign governments.
    “The Department of Justice’s recent designation of Russia’s RT America as a foreign agent, as well as the questionable practices of Al Jazeera and China Central Television, strongly suggest the presence of a subversive threat in the United States,” Cruz said in a statement at the time. “Qatar’s Al Jazeera, which the State Department has indicated is state-controlled, produces content that is anti-American, anti-Semitic, and anti-Israel, while promoting positive coverage of terrorist organizations such as Iranian-sponsored Hezbollah and Hamas.”

    Immediate benefits of the snap back of sanctions –
    Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak, Ambassador of Yemen to the U.S. and Permanent Representative to the United Nations, said that after talks started between the U.S. and Iran on the deal during the Obama administration, Iran subsequently “stepped up its military and financial support for the Houthi rebels in Yemen.”
    “Nevertheless, the clear-eyed President Trump’s Iran strategy, along with withdrawing from the Iran deal and demanding that Iran cease its destabilizing behavior in the region, has made clear to Iran and its proxies in Yemen that meddling in the region will not be overlooked again,” Mubarak said. He added that as a result of these “strong and positive signals,” Iranian-backed Houthi rebels are beginning to engage more with the peace process.
    “So withdrawing from the Iran deal will definitely contribute to the end of the war in Yemen,” he said.

    An Iraqi refugee now charged with attempted murder of a Colorado police officer was actually in ICE custody in 2016, but was ordered released thanks to a court decision that ruled his previous convictions for assault and a host of other crimes weren’t serious enough to deport him.
    Authorities say Karrar Noaman al Khammasi, charged last week after a shootout with Colorado Springs officers, could have been ousted from the country during the Obama administration, but for a series of judges’ rulings that set him free to continue a five-year-long crime spree.
    His arrest also raises tough questions about the refugee program at a time when the Trump administration is eyeing major new constraints on the number of people let in each year.
    Mr. Khammasi was admitted to the U.S. in 2012 as a refugee from Iraq, according to a Homeland Security official.
    His first criminal encounters began a year later

    Paul too the bait, hook, line, and sinker.
    That “poll” was designed just for nutty Lefties to get all up in arms about.
    A little thing in the 1ST Amendment called “freedom of the press.”
    Maybe Paul has heard about it?
    I’m all for making some reg, that states the press MUST tell the truth, and ending “un-named sources”. But Paul is already on record for NOT ending that practice. Hence,,, fake news. LIB news has been real good at fabricating “news”. From exploding gas tanks, to trashing Conservatives.
    LIBS would love to have a President who had that authority.
    Paul forgets how Proggys wanted “O” to nationalize FOX news.
    Just take it over like they did with GM.
