Here I am catching up AGAIN after being sick AGAIN. I tell ya … I take a few days off to be sick and my kitchen and my email both get totally out of control! Okay, so it was more like a week. But still.
SYRIA:It took a Republican president to actually enforce the previous Democrat president’s “red line.”
BREAKING: The Justice Department’s Inspector General has sent a criminal referral to the US Attorney’s office in Washington regarding former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s lack of candor about a Wall Street Journal article concerning the FBI’s Clinton Foundation investigation.
SOCIAL MEDIA: The conservative video blogging duo Diamond and Silk are slated to come to Capitol Hill on April 26 to discuss Facebook’s alleged censorship of their social media content.
After overstaying its visit by at least a month, Old Man Winter may finally have gone into hibernation for a little while. Maybe. When I finish this mess I plan to flop in my lounge chair on the deck and take in some welcome spring weather.
Democratic Party files lawsuit alleging Russia, the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks conspired to disrupt the 2016 campaign 40% OF DEMOCRAT VOTERS ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS CRAP
The Democratic National Committee filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit Friday against the Russian government, the Trump campaign and the WikiLeaks organization alleging a far-reaching conspiracy to disrupt the 2016 campaign and tilt the election to Donald Trump.

New York Attorney General Wants Power To Bypass Trump Pardons New York’s attorney general on Wednesday asked Governor Andrew Cuomo and state legislators to give him and other local prosecutors power to bring criminal charges against people pardoned by U.S. President Donald Trump.
In a letter, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman urged Cuomo and legislative leaders to close a loophole in New York’s double jeopardy law shielding recipients of presidential pardons from state prosecution. https://www.weaselzippers.us/382105-new-york-attorney-general-wants-power-to-bypass-trump-pardons/
Trump lawyer warns POTUS: Michael Cohen will roll over No one thinks Cohen would turn on Trump in lieu of serving a light sentence of a few years, but if the sentence is stiff, all bets are off. Which raises another question: What could Michael Cohen have possibly done that might warrant decades potentially in a federal pen?
That’s what they’ll threaten him with: life imprisonment,” said Alan Dershowitz, the liberal lawyer and frequent Trump defender who met with the president and his staff over two days at the White House last week. “They’re going to threaten him with a long prison term and try to turn him into a canary that sings.”… https://hotair.com/archives/2018/04/19/trump-lawyer-warns-potus-michael-cohen-will-roll/
Sen. Mitch McConnell Kills President Trump’s Plan to Cut $60 Billion in Spending Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R, KY) has torpedoed President Donald Trump’s plan to cut $60 billion in federal spending, despite a promise to open a “discussion” on the cuts.
Even after supporting and passing a $1.3 trillion increase in spending, McConnell said he would talk about a rescissions package that had the support of the president. However, McConnell has ultimately refused to support the plan, Conservative Review noted. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/04/19/sen-mitch-mcconnell-kills-president-trumps-plan-cut-60-billion-spending/
‘Designated Survivor’ Becomes Third Show This Week to Discuss Removal of President
It’s strange how many times this particular amendment has been invoked on television recently when I doubt many could reference its number eighteen months ago. Now, just since January, we’ve seen it discussed on Madam Secretary, Homeland, and Designated Survivor. One show, The Good Fight, even goes so far as to jump to talking about actual impeachment. I’m starting to feel like they want to tell us something. https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/lindsay-kornick/2018/04/19/designated-survivor-third-show-discuss-removal-president

Republicans Are Fleeing And So Are Their Hopes For Keeping The House Forty-six House Republicans are either resigning, retiring or seeking other office in 2018. Roughly 22 House members retire each election cycle, so to say the party is going through a seismic shift is not a misnomer.
If the slew of defections weren’t enough, Republicans are trailing their Democratic challengers in 43 races, Politico reported. Some 14 GOP incumbents have less cash on hand than their Democratic counterparts, according to Open Secrets. http://dailycaller.com/2018/04/19/republicans-midterm-election/
Cuomo Likens Himself to an ‘Undocumented Immigrant’… Immigrant Groups Fire Back “I’m undocumented,” Cuomo declared at the ceremony, where he signed legislation to protection union membership. “You want to deport an undocumented person, start with me because I’m an undocumented person.”

It has a whiff of classic fake news: David Hogg and all his foul-mouthed little high school buddies who made headlines and raked cash from their calls for gun control in the wake of the Parkland shooting have been elevated to the number-one spot in Fortune magazine’s annual list of the World’s 50 Greatest Leaders.
“I’m undocumented,” Cuomo declared at the ceremony, where he signed legislation to protection union membership. “You want to deport an undocumented person, start with me because I’m an undocumented person.”
