Here are my observations and opinions from my selected news of the day.

THERE’S EVIDENCE that our intelligence community and others in the Deep State really did try to take down President Trump.  And one might say, they’re still trying to do so.

There were the conspiratorial texts between FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI counsel Lisa Page, the actions and lies of former CIA Director John Brennan, and the underhanded moves of former FBI Director James Comey,

THERE’S MORE – “Now the impeachment is underway, sparked by a complaint from someone within the intelligence community,” relates CBS News’ Margaret Brennan during her interview with former acting CIA Director John E. McLaughlin, “It feeds the president’s concern – an often-used term – about a ‘Deep State’ being there to take him out.”

“Thank God for the ‘Deep State,’” McLaughlin unashamedly responded.  “He seemed to express genuine appreciation for members of the intelligence community, who really did aim to take down the president,” observed Tyler O’Neil of PJ Media.

That “someone within the intelligence Community,” to whom she referred, is believed to be Eric Ciaramella, the so-called anonymous whistleblower, a Democrat operative, who moved easily between the NSC in the White House West Wing and the CIA.

While this all smacks like something out of a Banana Republic, it’s a product of the Washington DC Swamp.

If you are interested in the all of shady Deep State activities, they’re chronicled in detail in Andrew McCarthy’s book, “Ball of Collusion: The Plot to Rig an Election and Destroy a Presidency,” and Gregg Jarrett’s “Witch Hunt: The Story of the Greatest Mass Delusion in American Political History.”

The official inside findings of DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz are now being reviewed and are expected to be released any day now.  And U.S. Attorney John Durham’s, investigation is, understandably, causing consternation in the Swamp.

Kramerontheright is curious to know if the current CIA Director, Gina Haspel, is cooperating fully with Horowitz and Durham.  You may recall my earlier recognition of her past CIA relationship with John Brennan when I acknowledged her appointment.

AWAITING THOSE DEVASTING REPORTS, Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff decided to rubber stamp a partisan attempt to impeach the president.  One wonders how Pelosi, considered to be so smart, could be taken in by Schiff, who is still trying to save face over his failure to produce evidence of Trump being an asset of Russia.

“Impeachment is now one party against America.  After months of pushing back against impeachment, Pelosi has abandoned any pretense of being a leader.” – Michael Goodwin, New York Post

THE HATRED OF OUR PRESIDENT – Regular readers will recall that I have frequently written of the disdain – hatred – much of Washington’s politicians and media have for President Trump.  A hatred that began in 2015 and continues today.  He’s changing the way Washington does business and they don’t like it one bit.  As we approach the 2020 election, they have included Trump’s supporters in their hate campaign.

“Their (Democrats) partisan rush to impeachment suggest that their real purpose is revenge for humiliation of having lost in 2016 to a man they think is unworthy of the office.  The impeachers have the burden of showing why this shouldn’t all be left to the judgement of American voters in 2020.” – Wall Street Journal Editorial Board

WHY DO THEY HATE HIM SO? is the title of an exhaustive piece by Victor Davis Hanson in American Greatness, too long to do it justice here.  I highly recommend that you CLICK HERE, read it and tell your friends about it.

SCHIFF STIFFED – The testimony of Tim Morrison, a former National Security Council official under President Trump was going to provide Adam Schiff with vital evidence that the president had conveyed an illegal quid pro quo on that phone call to the president of Ukraine.

When Morrison said, “I want to be clear, I was not concerned that anything illegal was discussed,” according to a report by Sean Davis in The Federalist. That wasn’t what Schiff wanted to hear.

Questioned over the withholding of military funding, Morrison said, “I have no reason to believe the Ukrainians had any knowledge of the review,” telling lawmakers that the national security process worked as designed in the case of the military funding that Congress appropriated for Ukraine.

“I am pleased our process gave the president the confidence he needed to approve the release of the security sector assistance,” Morrison said, “I am proud of what I have been able, in some small way, to help the Trump administration accomplish.”

ANOTHER WEATHER EXPERT – With severe flooding ravaging upstate New York last week, New York’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared that natural disasters didn’t happen before climate change.

Climate change wackos, so quick to criticize climate change deniers, are deniers themselves – deniers that climate has changed cyclically around the world as far back as records have been kept and longer.

How many times have we heard the “Chicken Little’s” warn of the end of the world as we know it?  Yet, each of the Democrat candidates for president is willing to ignore history and lay an egg.

BETO IS GONE – Beto O’Rourke, man who claimed he was born to be president, pulled out of the Democrat presidential primary and had headed home to El Paso to be with his people.  True to his Latino culture, it was noticed that his announcement came on “The Day of the Dead.”

ELIZABETH WARREN’S funding plan for Medicare for All would have a $52 trillion price tag over a ten-year period.  That’s about $5 trillion a year.  Joe Concha, writing @JoeConchaTV tweeted: The entire FY 2019 budget is $4 trillion.

LAUGH-OF-THE-DAY – From Chrissy Clark at The Federalist: “Warren Releases $52 Trillion ‘Medicare For All’ Plan Funded by Unicorn Farts.”

May God continue to bless the United States of America.
