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

YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP – Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page used the under-culture website, The Daily Beast, to attack President Trump, citing that his tweets about her are “like being punched in the gut.”

This, from the woman who exchanged 375 text messages with her lover, FBI Agent Peter Strozk, with disparaging references to Trump, including one stating “God Trump is a loathsome human … OMG he’s an idiot.”

“(Trump’s) not every going to become president, right? right?!  Page wrote to Strozk.  “No. No, he won’t.  We’ll stop it,” Strozk responded.

Page and Strozk also showed disdain for Trump supporters.  “Just went to a Southern Virginia Walmart.  I could SMELL the Trump support,” Strozk texted Page.  “Yep, out to lunch,” she answered.

By doing the interview with The Daily Beast, which claims to “seek out scoops, scandals and stories about secret world, we love confronting bullies, bigots and hypocrites,” she comes off as bitter, deeply dishonest and rabidly partisan, writes John Nolte in Breitbart.

The record shows that she and Strozk mocked Trump as early as December 2015. Although Judicial Watch has not let up on seeking further evidence of her role in the effort to delegitimize Trump in the following years, she hasn’t been heard from since her closed-door appearance with members of the House in July 2018.

“I had stayed quiet for years hoping it would fade away, but instead it got worse,” Page said.  “It had been so hard not to defend myself, to let people who hate me control the narrative.  I decided to take my power back.”

She refuses to accept responsibility for using her position in the FBI to keep Donald Trump from becoming elected, and later, as a Deep Stater, she tried to bring down his presidency.

Though she had a hatred for Trump, she thought nothing of accepting a position of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team, along with Strozk, a position she held until May 2018.  So much for upholding the “Integrity” pillar of the FBI creed.

Andrew Weisssman, an anti-Trumper and Mueller’s so-called “pit bull” believes Page has done nothing wrong.  She has a First Amendment right to speak.  But what about someone with her bias participating in the Mueller’s investigation?

Although the world has become aware of her disparaging texts about Trump, she now wants pity over his “demeaning” and “sickening” tweets.  She’s painting herself as an innocent victim.  “Playing the victim card,” writes Thomas Lifson in American Thinker.

There’s speculation as to why Page decided to open up Monday, one week prior to the release of Michael Horowitz’s DOJ IG report.

“Leaked press accounts indicate that the IG report will exonerate her, but say that she acted unprofessionally or showed bias against Trump,” according to Lifson.

Former prosecutor Joe diGenova suggests that she has possibly made a deal with a promise of no prosecution.

I cannot say that she is guilty of anything criminal, but if she isn’t punished in a way that will soothe the feathers of Trump supporters, like taking away her ability to practice law in our government, they will see it as business as usual.

CALLING TRUMP SUPPORTERS “DEPLORABLE” was an insult made by Hillary Clinton in 2016.  Insults continue as disparaging references are made to those in flyover country, and in particular to those who attend Trump rallies.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid, who, in 2017, said it was the worst time to be a human, seems to think she can sway supporters away from President Trump by accusing them of being a member of a cult. Not just any kind of cult – a “racial and religious cult of personality.”

“There’s a lot of evidence that it is a racial and religious cult in which his base is solidly among white evangelicals that almost worship him and say that he’s the chosen one.”

MOTHER NANCY Pelosi, in Madrid to attend the UN Conference, declared that the U.S. would continue to work internationally to fight climate change, despite President Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Accord.  “Our delegation is here to send a message that Congress’ commitment to take action on the climate crisis is ironclad.”  We’ll see, Nancy.

May God continue to bless the United States of America.
