This is a big deal. The Democrats in the House won’t ask, so the DOJ will. 

This goes to the heart of the question: did the FBI go on a witch hunt to derail Trump’s candidacy? That should concern every American, not just Republicans. 

The interviews come after President Trump empowered the attorney general to declassify major players involved in the Mueller report.

“The Mueller report, I wish, covered the origins of how it started — the beginnings of the investigation and how it started — it didn’t cover that,” explained the president. “This has been a very bad thing for the United States…it’s been a total waste of time.”

Barr’s “all encompassing” review aims to uncover how the Obama-era FBI and CIA came to the conclusion that Russian operatives aided the Trump campaign in the 2016 elections.

The original Bill of Rights acknowledges that my rights end when they take rights away from you. 

So the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness didn’t remove those rights from others. 

But the 21st Century Socialist Bill of Rights does just the opposite. It takes someone else’s desires (for my money, my labor) and makes it their own. 

“A Bill of Rights that establishes, once and for all, that every American regardless of his or her income is entitled to the right to a decent job that pays a living wage, the right to quality health care, the right to a complete education,” he stated.

Good news from the feds for Latah County. 

A federal disaster declaration has been approved for Latah County for the April 9th flood.  Flooding caused millions of dollars in damage in North Central Idaho during the second week of April including damage in Latah County and Moscow.  The declaration from the Trump Administration allows the federal government to assist local agencies with recovery efforts.

Idaho U.S. Senators Jim Risch and Mike Crapo and local Congressman Russ Fulcher applauded the president for his administration’s quick action on the disaster declaration request.  It also covers Adams, Idaho, Lewis and Valley Counties.

Remember the way global warming works. 

• If it’s a record hot temperature, it’s proof of global warming. 
• If it’s a record cold temperature, it’s just weather.

SEATTLE — Heat records were broken for the second day in a row Wednesday in some western Washington locales, including in the Seattle area.

The temperature hit 95 degrees around 3:15 p.m. at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, according to the National

Weather Service in Seattle. The previous record there for June 12 was 85 degrees, set in 1999.

This is the first day this year the temperature at Sea-Tac has reached 90 degrees.
 
If it had warmed up just 2 degrees more, Wednesday would have been the hottest June day ever recorded at Sea-Tac.

The weather service recorded 96 degrees there in 1955, 1995 and 2017.

Records were also set in other parts of western Washington. Olympia notched 93 degrees, beating out its previous record of 86 degrees, set in 2002. Bellingham and Hoquiam saw highs of 85 and 84, respectively, one degree higher than their previous records set around two decades ago.

The Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport continues to see double-digit growth in passenger activity, with commercial boardings up nearly 25 percent in May.

Through the first five months of the year, a total of 30,781 passengers have boarded commercial flights at the airport.

That’s an increase of 3,929, or 14.6 percent, over the same period last year.

Airport Executive Director Tony Bean said some of the activity stems from Alaska Airlines’ decision to pull out of the Lewiston market last August. However, enrollment growth at Washington State University and continued growth at Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories also contributed to the increase.

Justice served. 

The jury just rendered its verdict on punitive damages in the Gibson’s Bakery v. Oberlin College case.

Daniel McGraw, our reporter in the courtroom, reports that in addition to the $11.2 million compensatory damages awarded last Friday, the jury awarded a total of $33 million in punitive damages, which will probably be reduced by the court to $22 million because of the state law cap at twice compensatory (it’s not an absolute cap, but probably will apply here). That brings the total damages to $33 million. We will have the breakdown soon. The jury also awarded attorney’s fees, to be determined by the judge.

The breakdown was:

David Gibson – $17.5 million punitive damages

Allyn W. Gibson — $8.75 million punitive damages

Gibson Bros. Inc. (the Bakery) – $6,973,500 punitive damages

MY STATEMENT about the verdict:

“Oberlin College tried to sacrifice a beloved 5th-generation bakery, its owners, and its employees, at the altar of political correctness in order to appease the campus ‘social justice warfare’ mob. The jury sent a clear message that the truth matters, and so do the reputations and lives of people targeted by false accusations, particularly when those false accusations are spread by powerful institutions. Throughout the trial the Oberlin College defense was tone-deaf and demeaning towards the bakery and its owners, calling the bakery nearly worthless. The jury sent a message that all lives matter, including the lives of ordinary working people who did nothing wrong other than stop people from stealing.”

All are equal. Some are just more equal…

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Speaking to reporters after coming out in support of pay raises for herself and her fellow congresspeople, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she believes everyone’s pay should be equal, but that her and her fellow congresspeople’s pay should be “more equal” than everybody else’s.
