Here are my observations and opinions on some of the news of the day.

SORE LOSER – New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, appearing on MSNBC’s anti-Trump “Morning Joe” show, speculated that a “constitutional crisis” will result from the Mueller Special Counsel findings, and that former presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama will be called upon to rescue our country.  OMG, Friedman’s gone over the edge.

It sounds like something that would come from the mouths of Rachel Maddow or Lawrence O’Donnell, not a Pulitzer Prize recipient like Friedman.

“Barack Obama and George W. Bush have both been staying out of the political fray, despite all the attacks on them from Trump, because they understand they are going to have to come to come together in the face of this constitutional crisis that’s in our future and stand up for the Constitution, said Friedman.

“It’s going to have to be done in a bipartisan way by two ex-presidents who I think still have a lot of credibility, and my guess is they are saving their powder for that,” he believes.

That ridiculous outlook comes from the same Friedman who said this in 2016:

“I hope Hillary Clinton wins all 50 states and the Democrats take the presidency, the House, the Senate and, effectively, the Supreme Court … (and) that Donald Trump is not just defeated, but is crushed at the polls.

For more of Friedman’s hate of Trump and his fantasy of a what will happen after a Clinton win, read his entire 2016 column by clicking here.

THE ‘MY PILLOW’ GUY refuses to join the boycott of the Laura Ingraham Angle show on Fox. “We did not take down our advertising, nor do we intend to,” said My Pillow inventor and president Mike Lindell, “we cannot and will not allow voices to be censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts.”

There are a number of TV viewers who would probably like to see the “My Pillow” commercials disappear, simply because of their frequency, but not because David “Camera” Hogg, a self-important activist, with the help of the leftist organization Media Matters, is trying to silence Ingraham.

THE WASHINGTON POST, always ready to support anti-Trumpers, gave Jill McCabe, wife of fired former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe, op-ed space to tell readers how she thinks her husband was unfairly treated and there was no conflict of interest on his part during her run for the Virginia senate.

You will recall that she accepted some $700,000 from two sources close to Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, a long-time confidant of both Bill and Hillary Clinton. All while her husband was in an oversight role in the investigation of Hillary’s e-mails.

What she didn’t mention in her “poor me” op-ed, was that the DOJ forbids employees from engaging in political activity while on duty. In an August 19, 2015 e-mail released by the FBI, he wrote, “Jill has been busy as hell since she decided to run for VA senate (long story). Check out on Facebook as Dr. Jill McCabe for Senate.”

Then, on November 1, 2015, he wrote, “I am so proud of her. She will do a great job for VA if she is elected.”

In addition, Judicial Watch surfaced two other e-mails on his official e-mail account citing his wife’s campaign.

I expect this will all be detailed in the DOJ IG report.

NO SURPRISE – The city of Baltimore’s population is shrinking. In a story written in collaboration between David Placher of the Baltimore Sun and Jazz Shaw, of HotAir.com, I learned why. The city’s 343 homicides in 2017 has given it a reputation of a dangerous place to live.

Baltimore also has an outrageous property tax of $2.248 per $100; double that of surrounding jurisdictions. People who stay are choosing to rent rather than purchase their home.

The city’s income tax of 3.2 percent is the maximum allowed by law.

Add a horrible public school system with schools unable to produce students who can meet the state minimum proficiency level in math last year, and an infrastructure in rotten condition and you round out the story of Baltimore.

Baltimore and the state of Maryland are governed by the Democrat Party.

BILL KRISTOL is at it again. Over at the Weekly Standard, the neocon tweeted, “I’m no fan of the Obama administration, and intend to vote for a non-Trump Republican in 2020. But … even I’ll admit in light of this tweet, that it would kind of great if Michelle Obama ran in 2020 and crushed Trump.”

There you go, Michelle; with Bill’s endorsement you could go all the way to victory in 2020.

REGULAR READERS will recall my position on those ridiculous Café standards for reducing fossil fuel emissions. They are about to be drastically changed.

Obama’s 2012 announcement of a goal to attain 54.5 miles per gallon automobiles by 2025 was ludicrous. I often criticized auto manufacturers for caving.

In a free society, we should be able to purchase the automobile or truck we want regardless of gas mileage.

BY THE WAY, electric cars generate carbon emissions, too, but few are aware of it. Carbon emissions are generated in fueling electric cars because fossil fuels account for 63 percent of electricity generation in the U.S.

DOUBLE STANDARD – The left-leaning media wasn’t interested in the shooting at You Tube headquarters because the shooter was a woman, a vegan, using a handgun not an AR-15, an animal rights person in support of PETA, not an NRA member. Why? Because it didn’t fit their radical gun control agenda.
