The item number one on
Stephanie Miller’s agenda this morning was that on Saturday President Trump
refused to allow the democrat memo on the FBI Russian investigation to be
released. This is the ten page memo that
clearly refutes the false conclusions and missing facts in the Republican memo
that Trump had no problem with releasing last week. The FBI didn’t WANT the Republican memo
released last week. Trump didn’t care
about classified information or national security them. But Adam Shiff checked with the FBI first
before he released the democratic memo, and he wanted to release all ten
pages. Some have said that “Ten pages is
far too long for President Trump to even read”.
Some have said that President Trump doesn’t read anything at all because
he has dyslexia or something. I don’t
think he could have gotten through college without being able to read. Nonetheless it is strange behavior that his
aids report that the President prefers the spoken word to reading a document. And the President wants everything simplified
to death with easy to read bullet points.
And they say the President will only read things that put him in a good
light. On Saturday the President said
that “The democrats WANTED me to reject the memo so they deliberately put
classified information in it”. But I
repeat that the FBI has NOT criticized the democratic memo like they did the
Republican one released last week. Trump
doesn’t respect the FBI. Rob Porter
never got his permanent security status because the FBI was concerned about
these wife beating charges against Porter.
You have the photo of one wife and the other wife complained he grabbed
her around the neck and dragged her still wet out of the shower and other stuff
like that. Of course Trump is an
autocrat who hates women among other things.
And he basically insists that everyone around him agree with him. Therefore he isn’t firing Chief of Staff John
Kelly because basically they are kindred spirits. Trump doesn’t want the democrats to get an
even shot at getting the Truth before the public on anything. After all here is a president who accuses
people who don’t applaud at his speeches as “guilty of Treason”. That’s dictatorial reasoning.
Sixty Minutes heralded
a story that the media has ignored, but it shouldn’t because it makes a
fundamental change in the “rule of law” or in this case- state sovereignty to
make their own laws. They don’t want a
national gun registration. They want
national licensing of conceal carry laws for carrying a loaded gun into an
urban situation like New York. They say
when they experimented with that in Wisconsin it was a disaster and the crime
rate went up. Of course for years the
States have trodden over the rights of localities for things like pollution and
gun laws. This too is a violation of the
“federalism” system the Constitution sets up.
This is a fundamental grab for power by Donald Trump who is behind this
move of the Republican congress. The
Republican House has already passed this gun bill. But it seems unlikely they will get the sixty
votes needed in the senate to pass the thing.
But it is a threat to public safety.
They covered both sides of the argument on Sixty Minutes. Law Enforcement officials in big cities are
definitely against this bill. This is an ironic example of an extreme
Republican convention promise being kept by giving the second amendment untold
fire power.
There was a thing on
Russian doping of Olympic athletes both in the London 2012 Olympics and in the
2014 winter Olympics in Soche, or however you spell that Russian city on the
Black Sea where the winter Olympics were held that year. They took away thirteen medals of athletes
that year but then some court gave nine of them back. This year what few Russian Olympic athletes
there are had to compete under a neutral flag.
Of course knowing Putin is
involved means this guy named Gregory was a defector from Russia. He was in charge of the Russian doping. There was this “secure” and “non secure” zone
where in this Russian lab they kept urine samples in locked containers. But someone put a rat hole in the wall
between the secure and insecure zones where the vials of urine could be passed
in-between and then dumped and substituted with clean urine examples. This Gregory guy fears for his life nature
because if you dissent against Putin you have a habit of ending up dead.
I had Bill Press on in
the morning just before five thirty.
Bill spent most of the remainder of the time discussing the
Olympics. Everybody agrees that it was
just “too cold” with temperatures below zero, which is too cold for even winter
Olympians. They seem to prefer temperatures either in the
twenties or perhaps low thirties. Others
have said that South Koreans are more “into” the summer Olympics anyhow. But I guess they don’t want the crowd to
freeze so give them blankets and things to keep warm. And the wind has been horrific and many women
skiers didn’t want to do their event because they were afraid that the wind
would interfere with their performance. (So,
are these women just being whooses?) We
also heard from Bill that the snowboarding competition was really messed up. And Bill says that these Olympics are really
just venues to sell more bottles of Pepsi.
And that they are an environmental disaster. South Korea built a whole stadium to hold the
opening ceremonies in, but after the Olympics are over, they are going to just
tear down this stadium because they don’t need it. Also there was something about chopping down
their sacred forest or something.
