I always pictured myself as someone trying to bend the conversation back to the center — looking for positive things to say about a president, for example, with whom I have deep disagreements — but I must confess to an edgy tweet two weeks ago (complete with an image of the rail siding at Birkenau) reminding folks that other governments have separated children from their parents.

Still, I have routinely tried to just be a “fact witness.” Reality should make a difference. I recall a dinner conversation several months ago when I was confronted with Hillary Clinton’s alleged crimes in “Uranium One,” a staple of talk radio and alt-right media that claims the former secretary of State shipped uranium to the Russians. Talk about collusion!

That never happened, of course. It’s a complex story of a Canadian company with mines in the United States and Kazakhstan being bought by a Russian firm but, as secretary of State, Clinton alone could not approve the deal — that was the job of an interagency committee — and no uranium has left or ever will leave America. I didn’t vote for Secretary Clinton for president, but I didn’t need a fairy tale to convince me.

In the face of rapidly accumulating untruths, though, it’s getting harder to be a “fact witness” without appearing to be “the opposition” or even “the resistance.” That was driven home to me by a note from a dear friend, to whom I had sent a copy of my recent book on the current fate of truth. He (gently and respectfully, as we’re still friends) mentioned “Trump bashing,” the “D.C. bubble,” “flyover country” and a general disgust with American governance today. I get the disgust part.

ETC...

How to distract and create a cover story.

Gen. Michael Hayden is a former director of the CIA and of the National Security Agency. He is now a visiting professor in the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University and author of “The Assault on Intelligence: American National Security in an Age of Lies.”

Leftists: there’s no living with them, and there’s no killing them (yet)...

The Uranium One story is complicated when you try to untangle the sale, the players and the front companies involved. It was intentionally complicated to avoid detection of illegalities, and it is always how it is approached by those intentionally trying to make the reader's eyes glaze over.

It's much simpler when you look at the people who profited from the sale and the $148,000,000 those same people funneled into the Clinton Foundation and Bill Clinton's personal bank account.

You can try to understand the tumblers and springs and pins of a lock assembly or you can insert the key and turn it.

Wow, now that I have heard it from the former Chief Spy that all is ok, I can go get a life and stop worrying about:

1. Aliens invading the USA.
2. Spies that are thwarting ‘w the people’.
3. Trans Pacific Partnerships that were fabulous.
4. Hillary Clinton and her corrupt practices.

I feel so good now that I have been enlightened.

The “intelligence community” has become an enemy of freedom and the citizens.

This clown included.

[Grampa Dave]

What an insult to our dead and wounded, by having this lying criminal/POS insult us with his warped opinion of the 4th of July.

[dowcaet]

The sad fact is we may never know the levels of treason these people have committed as they sacrificed this nation to empower themselves and their benefactors!

Sorry, buddy.

Posting that image disqualifies you as a rational commentator.

But thanks for playing.

Uranium did leave the U.S. - and although Hillary was not in a position to approve the deal by herself, she was capable of blocking it by herself - and that is how she managed to milk it for millions. Typical lying lib spin.

He voted for the guy from Utah

Anti-American Dem Leftists trash America on Independence Day. Sooo Predictable.

[DesertRhino]

He’s a damn traitor to America. He lied to his Congressional overseers. He spied on Americans in violation of the law and every principle of our founding. He’s a disgrace to the NSA, and a disgrace to his Air Force uniform. And now he sends this crap out on 4th of July.

[shanover]

The Fourth of July is simple as was the Declaration of Independence. I have read countless opinion/editorials today by the a-hole left who use word salad and ridiculous rhetoric of what it means. Opinions are definitely like you know what.

It is their criminalparents fault! They broke the law by invading the USA. That is a crime. Their parents are criminals. Children should not be left with criminals.

[foldspace]

You know even the shortsighted history informs us that in 2016 we AGAIN had an American Revolution of INDEPENDENCE via or VOTES.

That forces beyond our control and outside this country were on all fronts bleeding us dry. Time to level-set the situation.

Sleeper awaken. Historical opportunity for truth.

Let’s defend our true independence and true freedoms, even while under the yoke of the best country and government on earth.
