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

WHILE WASHINGTON’S ‘GUILTY’ AWAIT the findings of Attorney General Bill Barr’s effort to uncover the wrongdoing within the Department of Justice, including the FBI, Judicial Watch continues its effort to identify scandalous activity there.

Utilizing a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit path, Judicial Watch was recently able to learn from e-mail exchanges between Bruce and Nellie Ohr that she was “deleting these emails now.” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said this disturbing news of the destruction of documents indicates a covering up of a plot against President Trump.

Earlier, Judicial Watch learned that Bruce Ohr acted as an unofficial back channel between the FBI and Russian dossier author Christopher Steele.

APOLOGY JOE BIDEN made a campaign appearance before a Philadelphia crowd of several thousand people Saturday and excoriated President Trump as America’s “divider-in-chief” as he, himself, sought to divide the nation with highly critical rhetoric of the people’s president.

“If the American people want a president to lead with a clenched fist, closed hand, a hard heart, to demonize your opponents, and spew hatred they don’t need me, they’ve got President Donald Trump,” he said.

Kramerontheright, using Biden’s above objections to President Trump, offers these examples of what Biden dislikes about Trump.

To me, Trump’s clenched fist represents his rebuilding of the military decimated under the Obama-Biden presidency, returning us to the policy of peace through strength of the Reagan era. I am reminded of the mailed fist in the insignia of the Strategic Air Command.

I see Trump’s closed hand as evidence of his insistence that the United States will no longer be the piggy bank for those who have long seen us as poor negotiators.

If Biden believes Trump has a hard heart, he has missed the warm meetings Trump has had with people who have lost everything in hurricanes and floods, honoring veterans, and most recently, his touching oval office meeting with the families of fallen law enforcement people.

Further, regarding Biden’s charge of Trump’s demonizing opponents and spewing hatred, I would remind him that it was President Trump who was demonized and hated by the Deep State of Obama holdovers, and a compliant media, with calls of “illegitimate,” “bully” and “racist” as they sought to end his presidency.

Couple that with charges of “traitor,” “Putin puppet,” and “Russian asset,” during the costly and divisive special counsel investigation that hovered over him for two years.

Then, when I heard Biden shout that Americans are “sick” of division and “childish behavior,” from their leaders, I couldn’t help but recall my May 13, 2019 piece, “Who’s really dividing the country?”

Biden said Trump “inherited” a healthy, growing economy after he and Obama rescued the country from a recession, while drifting off with incongruent talk of climate change and Medicare containing no specifics. Poor Joe.

Biden may be seen today as the leading contender in the Democrat presidential primary, but I think the boy from Scranton will soon regret his decision to enter the race.

BIDEN ON CHINA: “China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, Man! They’re not bad folks. But guess what, they’re not competition for us.”

THE PARTY OF THE PAST – In a recent op-ed, Andy Puzder wrote of CNBC’s effort to learn how the Democrat presidential hopefuls would handle China. “Most candidates couldn’t even muster up an answer,” and those who did had responded with efforts of the past that failed.

Bernie Sanders, for instance, suggested using the WTO and the UN, “rather than trying to go it alone.”

Candidate Seth Moulton … what’s that, you don’t know him? … well, he took the opportunity to slam President Trump, saying he “knows nothing about trade.”

“The seven Democrats who considered the inquiry worthy of a response took laughably naïve positions that suggest they’ve been paying little, if any, attention to America’s dealings with its foremost economic rival over the past 20 years,” Puzder wrote.

“(The Democrat candidates in 2020) are utterly out of their depth when it comes to one of the most critical economic challenges facing our country,” according to Puzder, who believes “they’re in need of a crash course on trade policy.”

THE WACKO NINTH CIRCUIT COURT is undergoing change as President Trump continues to nominate conservative judges. The confirmation of Kenneth Kiyul Lee is the latest addition, who will fill the seat held for decades by Stephen Reinhardt, considered an “arch-activist.”

The nomination of Daniel P. Collins is expected in the weeks ahead, according to Debra Heine in PJ Media. This will change the make-up of the court to 16 Democrat vs 11 Republicans. It was 19 to 6 when Trump took office.

“PRESIDENT HAS FOUR YEARS TO SAVE EARTH,” read the headline in The Guardian on January 17, 2009. It recently surfaced as a challenge to the Democrat candidates, who have voiced concern over climate change, even to support the crazy Green New Deal. Beto O’Rourke has given us 10 years, or else.

The Guardian piece opens with “Barrack Obama has only four years to save the world,” an article based on an interview with the debunked Dr. James Hansen.

“Runaway greenhouse warming,” “global flooding,’ and “widespread species loss,” are among the warnings in the decade-old feature.

THE EQUALITY ACT – I have hesitated to comment on this bill, HR 5, Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s priority bill, because it isn’t going anywhere in the GOP-controlled Senate.

I am doing so now only to give you an example of what the Democrat Party considers important while they ignore the nation’s real problems. Basically, if passed and signed into law, it would add gender identity and sexual orientation to the list of classes – race, color, religion, sex and national origin – protected in the Civil Rights Act.

It has far-reaching applications that would seriously alter K-12 curriculums.

A LAUGH FROM THE PAST – “I’m not a member of any organized political party … I’m a Democrat,” Will Rogers is said have quipped nearly a century ago, but his assessment has never been truer than it is right now, wrote Stephen Green in PJ Media.
