Requiescat In Pace
For Memorial Day weekend, let us remember those who protected our right to be free.

Recently a young woman was arrested on the campus of UNC Chapel Hill for allegedly punching a pro-life advocate. Now there has been a second arrest after another young woman stole a pro-life sign.
And the woman was incredulous that she would be arrested for stealing a pro-life sign. She does not seem to comprehend that you can’t just take someone else’s property simply because you don’t like their worldview.
Democrats and those on the extreme left (I realize I am being redundant here) have been moving more and more towards expanding laws that allow the killing of children. Earlier this year the leftist-dominated NY State legislature passed a law to cheers and applause that allowed a child to be killed up to the moment of birth.
The NY Governor celebrated that new law by lighting state sites pink. Black or blood red would have been a more appropriate color.
In what historians will undoubtedly debate as a master stroke, PDJT announced on Friday that the tariffs on aluminum and steel from Canada and Mexico had been removed. At the same time Canada and Mexico removed their tariffs on American goods. All of this is expected to be in effect by Monday, May 20th.
Bloomberg…President Donald Trump said the U.S. will lift steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada and Mexico, boosting efforts to encourage lawmakers to ratify a new North American trade deal (USMCA).
Are the Democrats trying to convince the public that spying on a presidential campaign is routine? Are they doing this because they know that damning information is going to be released in the near future about the spying that the Obama administration did on opposition candidates? That such spying may go all the way back to 2012?
Are the Democrats so deranged that they are trying to make it seem like it is normal to do this, that it is no big deal? And that the public should just go about their business because there is nothing to be seen here?
Are the Democrats guilty of obstruction of justice? It is clear now that the administrative state needs to remove AG Bill Barr from his office quickly. Failing in this will result in serious legal exposure for many top intelligence officials from the Obama administration. Are the Democrats, who are allies of these officials, obstructing the investigation by trying to oust AG Barr? By trying to smear AG Barr? By trying to get AG Barr to violate the law by releasing a public copy of the unredacted Mueller Report?
The Democratic Party is in full-blown meltdown mode. During the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Senator Maxie Hirono (D-HI) went off the rails and accused AG Barr of lying on more than one occasion to Congress. A case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) as bad as this has never been seen in public before.
During the committee hearing, Sen. Hirono called on Attorney General William Barr to resign, saying he is no different from others in the Trump administration who have sacrificed “their once decent reputations for the grifter and liar who sits in the Oval Office.” Kamala Harris of California trying to revive her failing campaign for the Democratic nomination joined in the demand for Barr to resign. Although Sen. Hirono asked several questions of Barr, she never gave him a chance to answer.
On Wednesday AG Bill Barr is scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. On Thursday, the House Judiciary Committee has requested his presence. There appears to be some problem with the House request since Chairman Nadler only wants Barr to take questions from the committee staff counsels rather than the committee members. Barr is refusing to do this.
Break up the Yankees!
It was a refrain that was heard from time to time in the middle of the last century. The New York Yankees were the best team in Major League Baseball (MLB) for a long time. From the time of Babe Ruth, through Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle and Maris they piled up American League pennants and World Championships in the House That Ruth Built, Yankee Stadium.
Has hell frozen over? On the day before federal tax returns were due to be filed last week, the NYTimes ran a piece that admitted, rather belatedly, that PDJT’s tax reform package of 2017 resulted in lower taxes for the vast majority of Americans.
The reductions were broad-based and hit all levels of the middle class just as PDJT and the Republicans said it would. This is logical since the tax rate for middle-income earners was cut and the standard deduction was increased. Fewer than one in ten households across the entire spectrum of tax filers, rich and poor, actually saw an increase in federal taxes. And less than 2% of lower income filers were in this category.
