Friday Was An Especially Bad Day For Trump And His Regime
In his new book, *American Carnage*, Tim Alberta quotes Justin Amash,

Trump tossed Alex Acosta overboard yesterday, presumably after getting
Acosta-- who he praised effusively, to agree to never reveal how many

THE WOKE AND THE BUSED: The long and the short of the woke and the bused!
*SATURDAY, JULY 13, 2019Who supports busing today?:* How many Democratic
"candidates" support federally mandated busing? Given recent
pseudo-discussions, The Atlantic decided it had to find out!
In a murky example of modern-day "youth journalism," Godfrey and (Mark)
Harris reported that Candidate (Kamala) Harris has been "hedging on the
issue" ever since she dramatically raised it several weeks back.
Other hopefuls have been more clear, the pair of reporters said. In the
passage shown below, they began calling the roll.

*Hal Brands, Japan times/Bloomberg:* *U.S. plan to fight China and Russia
is too good to be true*
WASHINGTON - An American war against China or Russia would be truly awful.
Even if the United States won — no sure thing — it could well suffer costs
and casualties that would make the toll of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars
seem minor by comparison. So is there a way the U.S. could stymie a Chinese
attack in the Pacific, or a Russian land-grab in Ea... more »
