It was an educational experience. They were not willing to give President Trump credit for any of the economic growth the country has experienced in the past two years. There was no acknowledgment of the President&#8217;s efforts to deal with the crisis on our southern border. All they knew was that &#8216;Trump was a bad man.&#8217; That is so sad. That is what our media has done to Americans who depend on them for their news.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/columnists\/edbrodow\/2019\/04\/22\/when-facts-get-in-the-wayblame-trump-n2545147\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Townhall<\/a> posted an article today about the attacks on President Trump and how the mainstream media and members of Congress are altering the facts to suit their purposes.<\/p>\n<p>The article states:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The most significant take-away from my college education was learning to rely on evidence over opinion, hearsay, and rumor. \u201cEveryone is entitled to his own opinion,\u201d said Daniel Patrick Moynihan, \u201cbut not his own facts.\u201d Never in a million years did I suspect that political correctness would come along and overrule Senator Moynihan\u2019s famous dictum. That\u2019s right\u2014the geniuses of the Democratic Party Brain Trust are attempting to create their own facts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>We have a clear statement of two pertinent facts from the Mueller Report: (1) There was no Trump-Russia collusion; and (2) There is no basis for a charge of obstruction against the president. This comes after 2,800 subpoenas, 500 search warrants, and 500 witnesses over two years of investigation. Thanks to the mainstream media\u2019s penchant for fake news, Mueller\u2019s conclusion was the opposite of what the Democrats were anticipating. Trump was correct when he tweeted, \u201cNo Collusion, No Obstruction, Complete and Total EXONERATION.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article then goes on to cite examples of the Democrats telling us things that totally contradict that report as if what they were telling us were true.<\/p>\n<p>Some examples:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerrold Nadler, interviewed by Chris Wallace after Mueller&#8217;s finding of no collusion, had the gall to insist, &#8220;We know there was collusion.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>&#8230;Similarly, Democratic presidential candidate \u201cBeto\u201d O\u2019Rourke tweeted, \u201cYou have a president, who in my opinion, beyond the shadow of a doubt, sought to collude with the Russian government.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, speaking on ABC\u2019s <em>This Week<\/em>, insisted there is \u201cample evidence of collusion in plain sight.\u201d In fact, he added, \u201cEvery act that I\u2019ve pointed to as evidence of collusion has now been borne out by the [Mueller] report.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>&#8230;Senator Elizabeth Warren, another deluded member of Congress, continues to insist that the Mueller Report justifies impeaching the president. \u201cWe cannot be an America that says it is OK for a president of the United States to try and block an investigation into a foreign attack on our country or an investigation into that president\u2019s own misbehavior\u2014so I have called on the House to initiate impeachment proceedings.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The report is public. Are these people simply assuming people will believe them rather than the report of the summary of the report? This is irresponsible, dishonest,\u00a0 and divisive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just returned from a vacation spent with people who hate President Trump for no apparent reason.
