Dopey CNN with its endless Russia nonsense sees significant ratings cuts with the Mueller report ending the nitwit collusion fantasy.

Southern Border
I hope Trump has the stones to shut down the border with Mexico. We’ll see one way or the other this coming week. Wouldn’t that be a change? A president who actually leads.
Mueller Investigation
Mueller investigation just shows how fake the fake news from the media really is.
Farce
Irony — the farce Russia ploy against Trump, now that it has collapsed, has made him twice as strong.
Like A Hot Knife Through Butter
Trump would cut through any of the current crop of Democrat candidates like a hot knife through butter.
Mueller Report
Surprise, surprise…the Russian collusion charge was a farce. The media will now have to come up with something new against Trump. How about bad breath?
Nincompoops
In 2015 into 2016, we got a chance to see all the nincompoops among the Republican candidates. This year into 2020, it will be the Democrats.
Howard Schultz
Wondering what Howard Schultz’s positions are as a candidate for president. He’s said a few things that sounded reasonable to me. Not the typical politician’s non-statement that sounds good but means nothing. He’s running as an independent. I’ve heard him say the 22 trillion dollar national debt is the country’s biggest risk and that nothing is “free” from the government. Apparently, he introduced a lot of benefits for Starbucks employees, including healthcare and higher education support. I think he is worth watching. These guys don’t get to be chairmen of large and successful corporations without smarts. But would an independent, without national party support, have a snowball’s chance?
Death of Facebook
Facebook has caved to government pressure over the Russian thing, and now apes the “Liberal” media that wants to shackle free speech as per the idea that hate speech — what they consider hate speech — must be suppressed. Of course this is miles from real Liberalism that fully backs the 1st Amendment, and abhors any restrictions at all on freedom of speech.
The fake Liberals today don’t really get the sheer beauty of total free speech from the two very mutually exclusive advantages that free speech provides the public: 1) it provides a forum where compelling minority opinions that at first may not hold sway do gain wider endorsement from how compelling and rational their arguments turn out to be, and 2) free speech provides a forum where really despicable ideas are aired publicly and therefore exposed to the light of day, so that they can become the subject of analysis and ultimately be rejected — versus remaining concealed from public view, simmering, and dangerous.
Real old-time Liberals understood all of this. Now, not even the ACLU does. Ours could the era when our precious, 1st Amendment free-speech rights are undermined — not by the Right, but by the Left. Who would have thunk it!!
West Bank
After their dismal experience making Gaza independent, only to have it turn into a launching pad for rockets into Israel, the Israelis are not going to make the same mistake with the West Bank — the two-state solution is a pipedream of the West. Of course the liberals in the West who are advocating it aren’t themselves getting shelled by rockets.
