Is Trump "Crazy Like A Fox"?

So, it's Sunday night.  The big health bill is supposedly dead, having been 'withdrawn' in the House.  President Trump says he's "moving on" to tax reform.  All the pundits are either bemoaning or cheering the supposed 'death' of the health insurance bill, H.R. 1628, the American Health Care Act of 2017.  But here's another scenario.  I heard someone, I do not know whom, express this on patriot radio yesterday evening (I think that it was on The Liberty Net (http://3950.net/live/)).  He brought up the possibility that Trump, by announcing that he is "moving on" to something else, puts huge pressure on the House to come up with a health bill that they can agree on and that the Senate will pass.  If the House doesn't pass anything Trump can claim, rightly, that the House didn't pass anything.  This could put huge pressure on the Speakership of Paul Ryan.  Thus, it is possible that Trump, figuring Ryan to have been an enemy on health care, is "giving (him) enough rope to hang himself".  It's a possibility.

Get Ready For More Idiot Protests

This summer promises to be long and hot in the U.S.  Our nation's left political wing is planning to make it that way.  Corporate America is even joining in the act:

Here's one interesting question:  can a corporation which plans or assists in planning these things be sued due to damages?  Does that require violence to have broken out or can a corporation be sued over damages caused by a peaceful protest?

Trump 1; Dems, Liberals and Other Psychopaths 0

Alright, let's get this straight.  This is how I have it between President Donald Trump and the various Dems, RINO's, liberals and other malcontents.  The President says that the Obama Administration bugged Trump Tower.  The Dems and other malcontents (including, yes, YOU, Senator John McCain) seem to think that the Trump transition team colluded with the Russians and that the Russians somehow influenced the 2016 presidential election.  President Trump HAS STATED that he got news of the bugging of Trump Tower from two New York Times articles.  So, so much of the talking heads and Congress crowing about how he has to come up with "proof" and mentioning some kind of idiot "deadline" to which the President is not beholden anyway.  The research has been done; the Times did articles on FISA court warrant applications which were submitted by the Obama Administration for permission to conduct surveillance at Trump Tower.  The first application was rejected (which is rare with the FISA court.  Usually they pretty much rubber-stamp these things.)  So, that first application must have been a real humdinger.  The second was accepted.  Would an administration have gone to the trouble to apply for a FISA court warrant without intending to use it?  I doubt that.  So, in all likelihood, there was really surveillance.  By the way, the Times is what we ordinarily refer to in the news biz as an "authoritative source" (Whether it should be considered such is a discussion worthy of much time on another day.)  Secondly, the Obama Administration has a well-documented history of using federal agencies to persecute opponents.  Remember the IRS scandal?  So, in all likelihood, yes, surveillance of some type went on.  Whether Trump used the precisely correct word for the method of surveillance is unimportant.  The aforementioned malcontents claim that the Trump transition team was in communication with Russians.  So what?  It would be understandable and so I hear, routine, for the Russians to speak with someone representing a potential new administration.  Was the Trump team aware of any Russian involvement in the purloining of carelessly-guarded emails from the Clinton campaign?  There's no proof of it.  Were the Russians involved in any theft of said emails?  Our security organs say that there are indications of that but offer no proof of it.  Did the Russians try to hack either campaign?  They've admitted that they tried to hack both of them but claim that they had no success.  Did they try to influence American public opinion?  There's no proof of it but I'll go ahead and say "yes" because this is something that modern advanced nations routinely do, including our own!  Anyone remember President Obama's trip to Israel?  How about the fact that he sent an entire team there, I'm sure at our expense, to unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu?  The pot is calling the kettle black!  While I remain open to further developments, it seems to me that right now, the score is "Trump 1, Malcontents 0".  Right now, this is taking an inordinate amount of the time, attention and resources (that means "money", as in "taxpayer money", as in your and my money) of the United States government.  If this proves to be a red herring, as I suspect, those responsible for this should be held accountable. 

CNN Loses Feed When Congressman Tells An "Inconvenient Truth"

Do you think that your mainstream media is free and unbiased?  You may want to have a look at this, from Constitution:

http://constitution.com/cnn-cuts-feed-congressman-says-refugees-account-30-terrorism-investigations/

I admit that there's no proof that CNN cut the feed.  Still, I think it's curious that the signal 'went dead' while the alleged connection between immigration and terrorism was being discussed, don't you?
