Before Nancy, who has lost all control of Congress and is getting nothing done, decides to defend her leader, Rep. Omar, she should look at the anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and ungrateful U.S. HATE statements Omar has made. She is out of control, except for her control of Nancy!

Here is a scene (a screenshot) from today's Paris-Roubaix classic in northern France. I rose at 2:45 AM to watch the race live on NBC Sports Gold, to which I subscribe. It was riveting. Six hours of hell. Click to enlarge.

Addendum: Here are professional photographs of the race.

Addendum 2: The winner, Belgian cyclist Philippe Gilbert, averaged 26.76 miles per hour over the 159.6-mile course. His elapsed time was 5:58:02.

Thursday’s front-page headline, “Barr says agencies spied on the Trump campaign,” was (unintentionally, I hope) seriously misleading. A reader might well assume it announced news uncovering an inappropriate federal investigation.

But the only real news was the attorney general calling this “spying,” because all this investigating has been long known. Aside from this misleading wording and its partisan source, one also notes that the investigation has demonstrably been justified, having produced many indictments, lies and coverups, confessions and convictions.

The word choice in The Star’s headline simply reinforces President Donald Trump’s playbook, furthering his campaign of nonstop misinformation.

Just out: The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities. We hereby demand that they be taken care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is well known or its poor management & high taxes!

To the editor:

George Skelton, who opposes efforts to make President Trump release his tax returns, is not wrong to say that “even a president has some right of privacy,” but he is out of touch with what’s happening in the country.

Pressed to release his tax returns, even President Nixon said: “The confidentiality of my private finances is far less important to me than the confidence of the American people in the integrity of the president.”

Trump’s integrity is under a dark cloud of suspicion. We wonder if Trump’s financial dealings influenced his easing of sanctions against Russia. The Donald J. Trump Foundation agreed to shut down amid allegation of illegal conduct. The possible nexus between Trump’s finances and his decision-making is deeply troubling.

It is essential that as with every presidential candidate since Nixon, we the people see Trump’s tax returns.

Note from KBJ: Rachins is a drop-out of the program (the Wharton School) in which Donald Trump earned a Bachelor of Science degree in economics. Rachins entertains people for a living. Trump is the most powerful man in the world, not to mention one of the richest. It's understandable that Rachins hates Trump.
