President Donald Trump and Republicans are celebrating that the Mueller report did not find collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in tampering with our elections. It is a relief that the man sitting in the Oval Office is not an actual traitor. But that is not the end. First, Attorney General William Barr’s report did definitively show that Russia invested a lot of resources in tampering with our elections. I haven’t heard much conversation about how that is going to be prevented. All branches of our government need to get busy on that.

Even if Trump did not collude, there are still serious issues with his financial dealings, including with Russia. There are the possible violations of the emoluments clause. We still have a president who emboldens racism and dictators. Trump was not exonerated for obstruction of justice. And there are other examples of Trump having a challenging time understanding the Constitution and the rule of law.

This administration still has a lot to answer for.

Robert Mueller was a God-like figure to the Democrats, until he ruled No Collusion in the long awaited $30,000,000 Mueller Report. Now the Dems don’t even acknowledge his name, have become totally unhinged, and would like to go through the whole process again. It won’t happen!

Here is Kurt Schlichter’s latest column.

You are imaginative in using your skills. Apply this next week.

The Trump administration said last month that it is supporting a suit in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to declare the entire Affordable Care Act unconstitutional. (This flies in the face of the government’s obligation to defend the statutes passed by Congress, but that’s a matter for others to comment about.) Donald Trump said that the Republicans would present a health care plan that would be better than Obamacare, and cost less.

The Republicans have never announced any of the details of such a plan, and in particular, they have not told us why their plan would be better than Obamacare. I imagine Trump will tell us why the Republican plan will cost less than Obamacare: “Mexico will pay for it.”
