More and more evidence is coming out about the Obama spying
on the Trump campaign; even one former Obama administration official has flatly
admitted that the spying took place.
COMMENTS:
The Democrats have mounted a formidable defense by trying to
blame Representative David Nunes for a wrongdoing that did not occur. Nunes, having been told that evidence of the
illegal and unethical spying existed, but that it was only accessible on Executive
Office computers, made the trip to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to see for
himself. The Democrats have been doing
everything possible to insinuate that Nunes was wrong for doing so and to
insist that Nunes recuse himself for relative investigations. But,
the real issue, not to be occluded by the frantic Democrats, is that Obama spied on
Trump and somebody needs to go to
jail.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. There’s some suggestion that Trump might be willing to
let the national debt rise in order to push through tax reform and lower
taxes. Isn’t raising the national debt
even more a very dumb move? (Vicki ~ Vicksburg,
MS)
A. The argument is that lowering taxes will fuel the
economy, meaning more money will be in circulation to tax and revenues will
soon overcome the additional debt. I buy
the argument, BUT… we also need tons of money to rebuild the national defense
and to meet whatever unforeseen expenses might possibly be associated with military
action or war. To the contrary, if we
set about reducing the national debt, that may further constrict the economy
and we’d be shooting ourselves in the foot. It’s a delicate balancing act and somewhat of
a gamble. Maybe Hillary will help by
turning over some of her foundation money to the national treasury?
Q. What with a decision supposedly to be made on Supreme
Court nominee Gorsuch next week, what do you think the Democrats will actually end
up doing? (Naomi ~ Miami, FL)
A. There’s been one Democrat come forward to say he’ll vote
for Gorsuch. The candidate is such an excellent
nominee, unanimously voted on by Congress to become a Federal Court Judge a few
years back… that anyone who votes against him is probably going to commit
political suicide. Nevertheless, I think
the odds are about 80 to 1 that they’ll try to filibuster and therefore force
the Republicans to use the nuclear option.
Then they’ll change their name to the Martyr Party.
Q. What’s with Kelly Anne Conway? She’s been awfully quiet lately. (Oliver ~ Lincoln, NE)
A. I suspect that when her mouth started getting more press
than Trump’s, she got told to “cool it.”
