Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.

Dutch shooting no one talks about.
This shooting of a tram in the Netherlands did not result, as originally suspected, in a large number of deaths. Nonetheless, three people were killed and as of this writing, an unknown number were injured.
Also there were mass killings in Nigeria but once again, little is heard.
Because its only bad when an alleged white supremacist (lefts nasty name of the day for white people) does the shooting. In New Zealand.
And even though the white supremacist avowed, in his magnificent missive to the word, that he is in no way like Donald Trump in politics or culture.
We hear all about this guy except, ahem, the truth.
Killings in Nigeria and the Netherlands?
Crickets.
JUST IN: Dutch shooting suspect has been arrested
-------------------
Dutch authorities say they have caught the man suspected of opening fire on a tram in Utrecht, killing three people this morning.
Rob van Bree, the head of operations of the Central Netherlands Police, announced the news Monday.

Meghan McCain struggles to save reputation of her father.
So how does one handle this softly?
First, John McCain was said to have wrecked two airplanes, one wreck causing him to kill other sailors onboard. The other wreck caused the Vietcong to capture him.
He is, just recently, said to be deeply involved in that Steele dossier, personally delivering it to Senate Leader McConnell.
He was deeply involved in the Pentagon paper scandal but managed to get out of it.
He is said, by various acquaintances to be surly, nasty with little patience.
Now I know bad things are often said about all famous people but come on people, unless you been living under a rock, John McCain has been the subject of secret whisperings for ages.
Oh, and dont forget that famous legislation of his Campaign Finance Reform. I sleep sounder every night for safety from the dangers of campaign finance.
Already hinted to be unconstitutional or some such.
----------------------------
Meghan McCain on Monday continued her fierce pushback against President Donald Trump, who over the weekend revived his long-running feud with her father, the late Sen. John McCain.
"Listen, he spends his weekend obsessing over great men because he knows it, and I know it, and all of you know it: he will never be a great man," McCain said on ABC's "The View," where she is a co-host. "My father was his kryptonite in life, he was his kryptonite in death. On a personal level, I agree with you, all of us have love and families, and when my father was alive, up until adulthood, we would spend our time together cooking, hiking, fishing, really celebrating life, and I think it's because he almost died," she said. "And I just thought, 'your life is spent on the weekend not with your family, not with your friends, but you're obsessing, obsessing over great men you could never live up to.' That tells you everything you need to know about his pathetic life right now."
In response to Trump's tweets, Meghan McCain tweeted that "No one will ever love you the way they loved my father," adding that the President should be spending time with his own family instead of "obsessing over mine."
On Monday, McCain said she "genuinely feel(s) bad for (the Trump) family" and that she "can't imagine having a father who does this on the weekends."

Soon all the dirt will hit McCain hard.
Soon.
Meghan should keep a low profile.
Fox Judge Janine Pirro acts like a Journalist and is punished by Fox
Judge Janine asked why Rep. Ilhan Omar, the one who hates Jews, is allowed to wear a hajib in Americas Hoouse as such dress had been illegal.
It turns out that this rule of some 180 years has been over-ruled fairly but why is Judge Janine removed from her show for asking a very logical question?
-------------------- The Judge dared question why Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota), a Muslim, wears a hijab. Rep. Omar, Pirro began, "wears a hijab, which, according to the Quran, 33:59, tells women to cover so they won't get molested. Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?"

Brazil and American President meet
Jair Bolsonaro is the 38th and current President. Of Brazil (which heritage is Portuguese lest you forget like I did) and American President Trump met at the White House.
I watched the interview and Trump emphasized, to my surprise, that Brazil will soon be a place to launch spaceships.
I could swear he said that.
Anyway, below:
----------------------------------------
In conclusion, may I say that Brazil and the United States stand side-by-side in their efforts to share liberties and respect to traditional and family lifestyles, respect to God, our creator, against the gender ideology of the politically correct attitudes, and fake news, Bolsonaro said. Trump later said he was happy to hear Bolsonaro use the term fake news.

George Conway-Kelly Conway husband-Guy needs to go
It was Rush Limbaugh who brought up the subject of that awful George Conway, Trump advisor Kelly Conways husband.
I dont think hes cute. He sure isnt funny.
Rush said that he saw Kelly at a Trump convention in his home state. He asked about her husband and whether she should shut him up.
Rush said that Kelly laughed and acted like it was no big deal.
HEY KELLY! WE MIGHT LIKE YOU OUT HERE IN THE BURGS BUT WE DONT LIKE YOUR HUSBAND AND HIS STUPID COMMENTS.
------------------------------- https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/18/politics/george-conway-kellyanne-trump/index.html
It wasn't the first time the pair have split over Trump; George Conway has become an avid critic of the President on Twitter, even as his wife acts as one of his top television defenders. The divide has at times drawn Trump's ire -- "He's just trying to get publicity for himself," he told reporters in November -- yet the split persists.
This weekend, as Trump was lobbing his own Twitter invective in all directions, George Conway responded with screengrabs showing the medical definitions of narcissistic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
----------------------------
I dislike Kelly even more for her cavalier way she laughed off her husband publicly calling our President mentally ill.
I think its time for both of them to go.
Miscellaney
Some quick news in process or a done deal under the radar.
Former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan has been hired by Fox News. We need more RINOs, cant have enough RINOs.
California Rep R Nunes is suing Twitter for a couple of mil for doing something called shadow ban.
They want to own us, tell us what to say.
We can all stop using Twitter and boom, theyd be out of business in a few seconds.
Finally, the McCaiin/Trump feud continues on and give President Trump credit , hes not backing down.
See my column yesterday on McCain and his kind, sweet, beloved daughter, Meghan. She had a lot of great things to say about our President too, lovely child.

Spring
Its the first day of spring. And its been a really bad day for me, ending with the gubmint showing up at my door.
They want me to be the subject of some medical study, involving five visits, telling them all my personal health stuff.
NO!
Just no!
The gubmint lady would not leave. She said I would earn $50. I told her no. Finally I had to shut the door in her face.
Bob Mueller is expected to show up tomorrow to throw me in jail.
More on George Conway
I have a history with Ben Shapiro, knew him when he was but a teenager. He is a good writer but hes always on the wrong side of things.
Today, Ben Shapiro said on his show that George Conway, the sweet talking husband of Kelly Conway, is not in the wrong. He says that President Trump is in the wrong.
I say Trump needs to fire Kelly Conway if she cant shut up her husbands big mouth.
And forget Ben Shapiro. Hes too young to know what hes talking about.
Beto O'Rourke, baby poop, buff balls and the joy of killing children
Okay, its time we all take a closer look to this Beto ORourke joke of a presidential candidate.
This guy is weird and I dont care that he wrote a lot of this stuff (or did a lot of this stuff) when he was but a crazy adolescent.
There is some post he did about buffing his balls, yeah, as dirty as it sounds, and making no sense.
Then there was the baby poop he put in a bowl and told his wife it was avocado. This anecdote he tells as if it were funny but hey, I am not amused.
And if he already had a child when this allegedly occurred (and he admits to), then he wasnt that damn young.
Finally, below, his story of murdering two children and his happiness at a possible career as a serial killer.
Im sorry folks. We all write, post or tell crazy stories from time to time but this story about killing children .
..this man should NEVER be President of the United States.
------------- https://www.foxnews.com/politics/beto-orourke-wrote-murder-fantasy-children-was-part-of-famed-hacking-group-report
A 15-year-old Beto ORourke once wrote a "murder fantasy" short story about running over two children with a car, according to a new report that also revealed the now-presidential candidate was a member of a famous hacking group.
It reads: Then one day, as I was driving home from work, I noticed two children crossing the street. They were happy, happy to be free from their troubles. I knew, however, that this happiness and sense of freedom were much too overwhelming for them.
As I neared the young ones, I put all my weight on my right foot, keeping the accelerator pedal on the floor until I heard the crashing of the two children on the hood, and then the sharp cry of pain from one of the two
This happiness was mine by right. I had earned it in my dreams. As I neared the young ones, I put all my weight on my right foot, keeping the accelerator pedal on the floor until I heard the crashing of the two children on the hood, and then the sharp cry of pain from one of the two. I was so fascinated for a moment, that when after I had stopped my vehicle, I just sat in a daze, sweet visions filling my head.
My dream was abruptly ended when I heard a loud banging on the front window. It was an old man, who was using his cane to awaken me. He might have been a witness to my act of love. I was not sure, nor did I care. It was simply ecstasy. As I drove home, I envisioned myself committing more of these 'acts of love,' and after a while, I had no trouble carrying them out. The more people I killed, the longer my dreams were. ... I had killed nearly 38 people by the time of my twenty-third birthday, and each one was more fulfilling than the last.

Ukraine Released Manifort financial info to help Hillary campaign
I am not at all clear how this works but here is my understanding.
There exists a tape recording revealing that information on Manaforts financial records was released by an agency in the Ukraine. The information was released specifically to help Hillary Clinton win the presidency campaign of 2016.
I am guessing here. But the reason the Ukraine had Manaforts financial information was because of business he did with the Ukraine and he had to provide Ukranian banks with certain financial information.
The idea was that the Clinton campaign could release the information of the then Trump campaign chair and it would hurt the Trump campaign
. More than anything, this interesting detail sure makes it look like IT WAS THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN DOING ALL THE COLLUDING.
Look for much much more on this in the future.
The lovely sweet James Comey lectures us, his lying cheating self.
Cannot, simply cannot, stand the man. He destroyed the reputation of the FBI. He did the bidding of the Obama administration. He hurt the hard-working FBI agents by making the FBI look like, heh, Keystone Kops.
He got fired, did I mention that? Hes part and parcel in the deep state. He has no morals and never took a high road in his life.
Now he puts an editorial in the NY Times lecturing us folks out here in la-la land that are mostly honest and carrying this country on our backs, on how we should view the upcoming witch hunt result of the Mueller report.
-------------------------
But not everyone knows what it must say. Even though I believe Mr. Trump is morally unfit to be president of the United States, Im not rooting for Mr. Mueller to demonstrate that he is a criminal. Im also not rooting for Mr. Mueller to clear the president. Im not rooting for anything at all, except that the special counsel be permitted to finish his work, charge whatever cases warrant charging and report on his work.
President Trumps constant attacks on the special counsel, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department over the past two years raised the prospect that he would interfere to stop the special counsels work. It is deeply concerning that the president of the United States would try to protect himself by torching the institutions of justice. But he hasnt used his authority to end Mr. Muellers work. (That would have been a crisis of a different order shutting down the investigation, rather than just trying to undermine its credibility.) So we are in a position to wonder and hope about the reports content.

I got just some advice for the sweet, honest darling, former head of the FBI, James Comey .

Chick Filet Banned
Why on earth was the chain Chick Fil-A banned in the San Antonio airport? They are closed on Sundays which might be a problem.
Somehow I think its about more than that. Theres plenty of concessions in most airport in America. One of them closed one day a week would hardly be noticed.
Like I said, its about more than that.
President Trump was interviewed by Maria Bartaramo on the Fox Business channel this morning and it was quite interesting.
First, there is all this fuss about Trumps attacks on McCain, as various pundits have called it. Trump maintained that he only responded because he was asked about it. Bartarama responded with a bit of sarcasm that he just mentioned it here. Trump caught her, saying right away that SHE just asked him.
In fact, Trump has been discussing McCain a lot and I dont blame him. John McCain ..well Ill shut up now.
He was NOT a good man. My he rest in peace.
Trump discussed economics and the pain of being watched and accused by an unelected man, named Mueller.
Trumps famous words that will live on forever : No President should have to go through this.
Hes right.
And America agrees.
Derrick Miller to be released from Leavenworth
Sgt. Derrick Miller shot a prisoner in Afghanistan and the bizarre method of waging war by the Obama administration the AMERICAN was arrested and thrown in jail.
------------------------------
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/03/good-news-us-war-hero-army-sgt-derrick-miller-to-be-released-from-leavenworth-prison/
Ever since Sgt. Derrick Miller was convicted, support groups such as United American Patriots (UAP.org) have been trying to have his conviction overturned, believing that "a bone was thrown" to the muslim locals who protested loudly that a suspected infiltrator on an American base in Afghanistan was killed by Sgt. Miller when the Afghan spy lunged for Sgt. Miller's gun. They believe Sgt. Miller has been a victim of the Obama administration's life-threatening Ruies of Engagement that held U.S. soliders to blame in any situation with the slightest ambiguity or politcized sensitivity, and sometimes, no gray area at all.
To their everlasting shame, the Democrat members of the Maryland legislature and the Congressional Black Caucus did absolutely nothing to help this man whom many believe was wrongfully accused, wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for life, while most of the other notorious Leavenworth sentences for similar incidents involving taqiyya have received the support of their state officials and their cases have been resolved.
Congressman Louie Gohmert of Texas, a former JAG officer, became aware of the case recently and spoke on Sgt. Miller's behalf at two recent clemency hearings, as did his mother and other supporters. This clemency and reduction of sentence is an answer to many prayers!
Family and friends of Sgt. Miller in Hagerstown, Maryland, are looking forward to his homecoming in May, and there are tentative plans for a reception of some kind. More on that as I learn of it.

Poor guy, in jail for killing the enemy.
Weekly Editorial
Very late in the day yesterday it was announced that Bob Mueller had turned in his report to the DOJ, attention Bob Barr.
I listened to Tucker, Hannity, Laura Ingraham and various other political pundit shows.
The big news so far is the announcement that there will be no new indictments. Which means President Trump gets to remain president and no one in his administration shall be put in jail.
No way. No way should an unelected moron (somebody tell Ken Starr that Bob Mueller is NOT a good and decent man) be allowed to spend millions investigating a duly elected president, harassing the guy, putting his friends in jail, arriving at private homes in early morn with twenty armed FBI agents to terrify innocent people.
Somebody tell Ken Starr that Mueller was FBI head when Arthur Andersen was unfairly charged and dismantled. Oh, and somebody tell Ken Starr that Mueller was FBI head when the anthrax mailer was wrongfully targeted to the point where they drained the wrong guys pond. Oh, and let us not forget the hero of the Atlanta bombing that the wonderful Keystone FBI identified as the killer.
Somebody tell Ken Starr, cause if I hear him say one more time that Bob Mueller, somebody tell Ken Starr (who IS a good man) that BOB MUELLER IS A BIG FAT ZERO.
Now we hear the New York shitheads are also investigating Trump because they will bother him and harass him and they are all freaking losers. And if Ken Starr says over the air waves that Bob Mueller is a good man, fire his ass.
All of those cheating FBI Keystone Kops need to be investigated and thrown in jail.
JAMES COMEY .another zero, thinks hes God.
I cant stand any of them.
You can thank Brett Baier and Shep Smith for getting rid of Judge Jeanine this was part of their goals to hopefully get the DNC to reconsider the debate situation these clowns are on my list forever he’s on the wrong list of course
I agree about Kelly-Anne. Sometimes the drama takes on a life of its own and become the main item.
It’s time to end the drama...
I like the idea of a “Trumpian” alliance with Brazil.
Bolsonaro is called the Trump of South America. “They” say that like it’s a bad thing. Oh, no it isn’t!!!
We need more Trumps!!! At least one on every continent.
Actually, Fish, the dirt has already hit McCain. It hit so hard, he will never get out from under it.
Thanks for your #5. It was a pleasure to read!
Fish, here’s a really excellent transcript of Rush on “McCain vs Trump” - it’s worth a read:
https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2019/03/21/mccain-vs-trump-try-these-questions/
He ends the segment with these questions ....
RUSH: Okay. Try these questions: Did Donald Trump help (and endorse) John McCain win his Arizona Senate race despite the fact McCain was dying of a brain tumor and could have stepped down?
Yes, Trump did.
Did McCain campaign to end Obamacare?
Yes, he did.
Did McCain promise to vote for repeal and then grandstand by not doing so?
Yes.
Did McCain backstab and play a major role in a silent coup on Trump.
Uhhh, yes.
Did McCain announce that he didnt want Trump at his funeral?
Yes.
Did Trump let McCains family use Air Force Two, the big one, to transfer McCains body to D.C. and give him a presidential funeral?
Yes.
But Trump is the bad guy?
One more (BIG) thing .... I cannot forget what McCain did to hide info about missing POWs, causing great pain to their families & friends ... here is a (long - sorry) excerpt from a very good article on this subject:
John McCain and the POW Cover-Up
The war hero candidate buried information about POWs left behind in Vietnam.
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2018/08/no_author/mccain-and-the-pow-cover-up/
To quote Rush one more time: “But Trump is the bad guy?”
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Excerpt from the link (much more info at link):
McCains Role
An early and critical McCain secrecy move involved 1990 legislation that started in the House of Representatives. A brief and simple document, it was called the Truth Bill and would have compelled complete transparency about prisoners and missing men. Its core sentence reads: [The] head of each department or agency which holds or receives any records and information, including live-sighting reports, which have been correlated or possibly correlated to United States personnel listed as prisoner of war or missing in action from World War II, the Korean conflict and the Vietnam conflict, shall make available to the public all such records held or received by that department or agency.
Bitterly opposed by the Pentagon (and thus McCain), the bill went nowhere. Reintroduced the following year, it again disappeared. But a few months later, a new measure, known as the McCain Bill,suddenly appeared. By creating a bureaucratic maze from which only a fraction of the documents could emergeonly records that revealed no POW secretsit turned the Truth Bill on its head. The McCain bill became law in 1991 and remains so today. So crushing to transparency are its provisions that it actually spells out for the Pentagon and other agencies several rationales, scenarios, and justifications for not releasing any information at alleven about prisoners discovered alive in captivity. Later that year, the Senate Select Committee was created, where Kerry and McCain ultimately worked together to bury evidence.
McCain was also instrumental in amending the Missing Service Personnel Act, which had been strengthened in 1995 by POW advocates to include criminal penalties, saying, Any government official who knowingly and willfully withholds from the file of a missing person any information relating to the disappearance or whereabouts and status of a missing person shall be fined as provided in Title 18 or imprisoned not more than one year or both. A year later, in a closed House-Senate conference on an unrelated military bill, McCain, at the behest of the Pentagon, attached a crippling amendment to the act, stripping out its only enforcement teeth, the criminal penalties, and reducing the obligations of commanders in the field to speedily search for missing men and to report the incidents to the Pentagon.
About the relaxation of POW/MIA obligations on commanders in the field, a public McCain memo said, This transfers the bureaucracy involved out of the [battle] field to Washington. He wrote that the original legislation, if left intact, would accomplish nothing but create new jobs for lawyers and turn military commanders into clerks.
McCain argued that keeping the criminal penalties would have made it impossible for the Pentagon to find staffers willing to work on POW/MIA matters. Thats an odd argument to make. Were staffers only willing to work if they were allowed to conceal POW records? By eviscerating the law, McCain gave his stamp of approval to the government policy of debunking the existence of live POWs.
McCain has insisted again and again that all the evidencedocuments, witnesses, satellite photos, two Pentagon chiefs sworn testimony, aborted rescue missions, ransom offers apparently scornedhas been woven together by unscrupulous deceivers to create an insidious and unpatriotic myth. He calls it the bizarre rantings of the MIA hobbyists. He has regularly vilified those who keep trying to pry out classified documents as hoaxers, charlatans, conspiracy theorists, and dime-store Rambos.
Some of McCains fellow captives at Hoa Lo prison in Hanoi didnt share his views about prisoners left behind. Before he died of leukemia in 1999, retired Col. Ted Guy, a highly admired POW and one of the most dogged resisters in the camps, wrote an angry open letter to the senator in an MIA newslettera response to McCains stream of insults hurled at MIA activists. Guy wrote, John, does this [the insults] include Senator Bob Smith [a New Hampshire Republican and activist on POW issues] and other concerned elected officials? Does this include the families of the missing where there is overwhelming evidence that their loved ones were last known alive? Does this include some of your fellow POWs?
Its not clear whether the taped confession McCain gave to his captors to avoid further torture has played a role in his postwar behavior in the Senate. That confession was played endlessly over the prison loudspeaker system at Hoa Loto try to break down other prisonersand was broadcast over Hanois state radio. Reportedly, he confessed to being a war criminal who had bombed civilian targets. The Pentagon has a copy of the confession but will not release it. Also, no outsider I know of has ever seen a non-redacted copy of the debriefing of McCain when he returned from captivity, which is classified but could be made public by McCain.
All humans have breaking points. Many men undergoing torture give confessions, often telling huge lies so their fakery will be understood by their comrades and their country. Few will fault them. But it was McCain who apparently felt he had disgraced himself and his military family. His father, John S. McCain II, was a highly regarded rear admiral then serving as commander of all U.S. forces in the Pacific. His grandfather was also a rear admiral.
In his bestselling 1999 autobiography, Faith of My Fathers, McCain says he felt bad throughout his captivity because he knew he was being treated more leniently than his fellow POWs, owing to his high-ranking father and thus his propaganda value. Other prisoners at Hoa Lo say his captors considered him a prize catch and called him the Crown Prince, something McCain acknowledges in the book.
Also in this memoir, McCain expresses guilt at having broken under torture and given the confession. I felt faithless and couldnt control my despair, he writes, revealing that he made two feeble attempts at suicide. (In later years, he said he tried to hang himself with his shirt and guards intervened.) Tellingly, he says he lived in dread that his father would find out about the confession. I still wince, he writes, when I recall wondering if my father had heard of my disgrace.
He says that when he returned home, he told his father about the confession, but never discussed it at lengthand the admiral, who died in 1981, didnt indicate he had heard anything about it before. But he had. In the 1999 memoir, the senator writes, I only recently learned that the tape had been broadcast outside the prison and had come to the attention of my father.
Is McCain haunted by these memories? Does he suppress POW information because its surfacing would rekindle his feelings of shame? On this subject, all I have are questions.
Many stories have been written about McCains explosive temper, so volcanic that colleagues are loath to speak openly about it. One veteran congressman who has observed him over the years asked for confidentiality and made this brief comment: This is a man not at peace with himself.
He was certainly far from calm on the Senate POW committee. He browbeat expert witnesses who came with information about unreturned POWs. Family members who have personally faced McCain and pressed him to end the secrecy also have been treated to his legendary temper. He has screamed at them, insulted them, brought women to tears. Mostly his responses to them have been versions of: How dare you question my patriotism? In 1996, he roughly pushed aside a group of POW family members who had waited outside a hearing room to appeal to him, including a mother in a wheelchair.
But even without answers to what may be hidden in the recesses of McCains mind, one thing about the POW story is clear: if American prisoners were dishonored by being written off and left to die, thats something the American public ought to know about.
First, John McCain was said to have wrecked two airplanes, one wreck causing him to kill other sailors onboard. The other wreck caused the Vietcong to capture him. He is, just recently, said to be deeply involved in that Steele dossier, personally delivering it to Senate Leader McConnell. He was deeply involved in the Pentagon paper scandal but managed to get out of it. He is said, by various acquaintances to be surly, nasty with little patience. Now I know bad things are often said about all famous people but come on people, unless you been living under a rock, John McCain has been the subject of secret whisperings for ages. Oh, and dont forget that famous legislation of his Campaign Finance Reform. I sleep sounder every night for safety from the dangers of campaign finance. Already hinted to be unconstitutional or some such.
ALso don't forget this:
