"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds." Samuel Adams

I wonder...


A couple of days ago, former DNI James Clapper acknowledged on The View that in 2016, the FBI planted a spy (though he doesn't like that word) in the Trump campaign. He explained that the purpose was not to spy on Trump, but to protect him and his campaign from Russian interference. This begs the question, why didn't the FBI do the same thing for Hillary? After all, Hillary's home server was hacked and the DNC's computers were hacked after Leon Podesta fell for a Russian phishing scam. This sounds as though the FBI may have been favoring Trump. Maybe it was not the Russians but the FBI that threw the election to Trump. Hmmm.

Trump achievements


Jim Acosta meant it as a criticism, but I think it's a nice listing of some of President Trump's most significant achievements. Here is what Acosta tweeted: "Obama policies dumped by Trump: Iran deal, Paris Climate Agreement, Trans-Pacific Trade Deal, DACA, ObamaCare Individual Mandate." Obama's mistake was that, other than the individual mandate, he got none of these "accomplishments" enshrined in law. They were all nothing more than, as Acosta rightly calls them, policies. And as Trump has demonstrated, policies can change.
