    Today’s Union AP article Page A5
    Now why would you publish this article when it contains lies? And why do you allow the authors to cherry pick Trump and fail to mention the same thing from the democrats? The article says Trump pressured the Ukrainian President. The Ukrainian President said he was NOT pressured. Why would you allow that lie?
    Then the article soft pedals Schiff’s rewriting the phone call to his version of the GODFATHER. I watched it live. It showed us who watched to low levels a democrat like Schiff will go to make something into a lie. Why would you not point that out?
    Schiff has called Trump a traitor numerous times as has his pals in the House. Why would you allow this article to print without that information while crying that Trump tweeted a similar thing? And why are you not interested in finding out and printing article on how the Hillary Clinton and DNC paid for dirt from foreign countries to discredit Trump? And why are you not allowing articles that actually show the the democrats and the deep state tried a “coup”? That is the scary part that the media seems to be complicit. Let Don Rogers know how you feel.

    Shamelessly stolen from Instapundit…..
    GRAY LADY PROFILES RACHEL MADDOW. It’s a glowing profile of Maddow herself of course, but these are quite the tangents:

    Recently, I went to dinner at the home of Rebecca Kee, a preschool principal in San Francisco who turned to Maddow in her depression and confusion over the 2016 election. I brought a bottle of rosé, and she poured it into glasses decorated with charms that featured Russia-investigation figures on one side and characters from “Star Trek: The Next Generation” on the other. I sipped from the Hope Hicks/Beverly Crusher glass, and we watched Maddow’s show over veggie enchiladas. “I think of her as a news doula: You know the news is going to be painful no matter what, so we might as well have someone who helps us survive it,” Kee told me. Last year, Kee had a Maddow-themed birthday party, at which her friends and her two young sons put on big black glasses and slicked their hair to the side. Also in attendance was a life-size cardboard cutout of Maddow, which is now in storage so as not to startle guests.
    * * * * * * * *
    After Rebecca Kee bought her Maddow cardboard cutout, she got a Robert Mueller one, too. For a time she would sit him in her front window, posing him near speech bubbles that she wrote herself. But after the real Mueller filed his report and failed to step into the role she had imagined for him, she tucked him away in the closet with Maddow. Now her car is decorated with Elizabeth Warren bumper stickers.

    If this is what “real life” looks like in America’s blue regions, the Babylon Bee is really going to have to up its satire game to compete.

    the best commentary linked by RealClearPolitics this morning… Regarding the Greta phenomenon:
    “At the risk of being viewed as some kind of unfeeling dick (I realize this train may have already left the station), I don’t find children inspiring. I find rational, intelligent arguments and ideas inspiring. I find thinking things through and coming to practical, thoughtful, ethical conclusions inspiring. I find adults with knowledge and expertise in various areas, sharing their knowledge and expertise inspiring. I find those who boldly speak the truth, despite the consequences, no matter how unpopular that truth may be, inspiring. I find dogs who rescue drowning baby deer inspiring. Give me Aretha Franklin and a full-bodied red. While often highly entertaining and useful, once trained to bring me snacks and refill my drink, children don’t inspire me”

    The reality is that Rudi will be the next Cohen. When he sings to save his ass it will be long and ugly. Remember this, Trump has no friends and they all will dump him and write books when the time is right, just like Bolting Bolton.
    “Bolton is already talking with literary agents in hopes of writing a memoir of his time working for Trump, two people with knowledge of the situation tell The Daily Beast. “He has a lot to dish,” one of the sources said, though both what was on the menu and when it will be served have yet to be revealed. Bolton would join a long line of former Trumpers to give an inside scoop on their White House tenures, and judging by the rocky way Bolton went out, it wouldn’t be the softball former Press Secretary Sean Spicer tossed out there.”

    For your reading pleasure Our President is a monster:
    “Privately, the president had often talked about fortifying a border wall with a water-filled trench, stocked with snakes or alligators, prompting aides to seek a cost estimate,” write Times journalists Michael D. Shear and Julie Hirschfeld Davis in their forthcoming book, “Border Wars: Inside Trump’s Assault on Immigration.
    The authors continue: “He wanted the wall electrified, with spikes on top that could pierce human flesh. After publicly suggesting that soldiers shoot migrants if they threw rocks, the president backed off when his staff told him that was illegal. But later in a meeting, aides recalled, he suggested that they shoot migrants in the legs to slow them down. That’s not allowed either, they told him.”
    The White House didn’t immediately return a request for comment.

    Bagdad by the bay surrenders to the NRA legal team-
    Before a court ruling, San Francisco Mayor Breed sent a memo around to city officials instructing them that contractors were not to face negative consequences for doing business with the NRA.
    NRA CEO and executive vice president Wayne LaPierre commented on the Mayor’s memo, saying, “Through these actions and our public advocacy, we hope the message is now clear. The NRA will always fight to protect our members and the constitutional freedoms in which they believe.”
    Attorney Brewer said, “The memo serves as a clear concession and a well-deserved win for the First and Second Amendments….It is unfortunate that in today’s polarized times, some elected officials would rather silence opposing arguments than engage in good-faith debate. The NRA is America’s oldest civil rights organization – and won’t stand for that.”
