The Left’s Rejection of American Values Is a Very Real Threat

McGahn & Mueller
One of the main media narratives is that President Trump has tried to cover up all the alleged wrongdoing that stemmed from his supposed collusion with Russia. That is the basis for the obstruction of justice charge that now animates the Mueller investigation. But that narrative took a big hit this weekend.

Trump on Trade: The Latest on the Tariff Strategy
When I commented in March about President Donald Trump’s plan to impose tariffs on imported steel, I was hoping that he would back off from imposing tariffs on our allies. That is because the danger to our national security isn’t steel or autos made in Mexico, Canada, or Europe; rather, it is China’s rapacious assault on intellectual property and its “Made in China 2025” master plan for achieving world dominance in 10 crucial technologies.
Civil War II

Omarosa Acted Dishonorably by Recording Confidential White House Conversations, but Here’s the Bigger Problem
Even if you strongly oppose President Donald Trump and want to see him defeated in 2020 or impeached before then, you should hope his presidential campaign succeeds with its legal action against Omarosa Manigault Newman alleging she violated a nondisclosure agreement. And if she broke any laws, you should want her prosecuted.
An Example for the Church

Pastor Faces Eviction for Hosting Home Bible Study
A semi-retired Lutheran minister in Fredericksburg, Virginia, faces the possibility of being evicted from a senior living community because he’s been hosting a small Bible study in the privacy of his apartment, his attorney alleges.
Explaining Trump Hatred
On May 22, 1856, South Carolina Congressman Preston Brooks entered the Senate chamber and approached Charles Sumner, who was sitting at his desk applying a postal frank to copies of his “Crime Against Kansas” speech, in which he excoriated Sen. Andrew Butler for embracing “the harlot, Slavery.” Brooks beat the unsuspecting Sumner senseless with a dog-whip cane, sending him into convalescence for the next three years and ending what remained of “reasoned discourse” in the Senate.
Why So Worried?
There have been some curious developments in the investigation into the deep state’s meddling in the 2016 election.
The China Connection
A lot of people are asking why, when the FBI discovered that Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s driver and sometime aide was a Chinese spy, she was given a heads-up so she could fire him, but when the FBI suspected that a couple of low echelon guys in Trump’s campaign like Carter Page and George Papadopoulos were aligned with Russia, instead of alerting the candidate, it used its suspicion to get FISA warrants and give the uberpartisan Robert Mueller godlike powers to make life a living hell for President Trump.

Trump Busts Brennan
Yesterday we told you that President Trump had revoked former CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance. Judging from the media’s insane reaction, you would think the president had just run the Constitution through the Oval Office shredder. Let me run through Brennan’s history one more time.
