It is common knowledge that the majority of people who die in fires are overcome with smoke and that smoke inhalation is the cause of death, not the fire itself.

Conservative broadcasters talk about how ridiculous Democrat commentary is… there is no evidence of Russian wrong doing and never has been.

Evidence is the fire.  The stories are the smoke… the weapon of mass destruction aimed at President Donald Trump by liberal progressives and “Never Trump” neo-conservative traitors.

It is sometimes hard to know who does more damage to our great nation:  1) The newspapers who publish trashy false stories as news, or; 2) those who read stories which provide no reliable named sources to validate the stories and, without checking the fake news, pass them on to others who read and believe them because the information came from a friend.

How do we know there is no fire?  Because any investigator worth his or her salt does things in a specific, strategic, planned way:  They investigate, they gather evidence, and then they file charges.  They do not investigate and send every rumor to the far left media for publication… such behavior hampers serious investigations.  The Russia/Trump administration investigation has been going on for almost a year and no evidence of wrong doing by Trump has emerged.

The Trump/Russia smoke has been building for a long time.  If any believable evidence existed, a Grand Jury would be impaneled and an indictment requested (if the evidence supports indictment), or if the evidence is irrefutable, charges would be filed.

There is no evidence of collusion – though James Comey subtly tried to lay ground work for it in his testimony on Thursday… testimony which did more damage to Comey (and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch) than to anyone else.

There is no evidence of obstruction of justice.  Collusion and obstruction have very specific definitions.  Look them up.  Google them and stop believing what other people who have an agenda tell you.

It is interesting how Hillary’s name has disappeared from all of the investigations going on in Congress and all of the intelligence services.  Gee, you don’t think that’s part of the liberal progressive “get rid of him with smoke” plan “because we’re toast if we don’t” strategy, do you?

Hillary’s the fire and to keep from being burned she must generate a lot of smoke.  Otherwise people might see through the smoke and begin asking questions about the numerous felonies of which she might be guilty… her involvement while Secretary of State of putting 20 percent of America’s uranium in the hands of Vladimir Putin and the Russians, for one (for which the Clinton Foundation was well paid).  That’s a fact, not an opinion.  Records exist that validate it.

If Democrats can’t keep everyone talking about Donald Trump and Russia, the smoke would clear and people might start talking about how Hillary committed at least one felony by sending classified email messages on a non-protected, non-government issued personal computer using a server in Colorado.

Those same classified emails were forwarded from Hillary’s unprotected computer to Huma Abedin’s personal computer where her husband, Anthony Weiner, a man recently convicted of using email for sexually perverted reasons, copied them onto his personal computer.  Records confirm it happened.

You get the idea why and how Democrat liberals use smoke to destroy others.  They have done it so often, they have the system down pat.  They tried to ruin Sean Hannity a couple of weeks ago and got slapped down.

This week they are blowing liberal smoke about one of the most honest men in Washington, D.C.:  Attorney General Jeff Sessions.  He will have his chance to destroy the stories about him when he testifies this afternoon.

I understand why conservatives are upset with Sessions.  He appointed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to handle the investigations into Russia’s hacking of American elections… and Rosenstein appointed former FBI Director and James Comey’s mentor, Robert Mueller, as Special Counsel.

I agree with Newt Gingrich about Mueller being totally inappropriate special counsel to investigate the Russian affair… he’s a man with so many conflicts of interest involving James Comey and the FBI he is totally the wrong man.  To see why, go here.  Mueller will likely turn this investigation into a witch hunt.  But upset with Sessions or not, he is an honest man… one of the few in our nation’s capitol.

Progressive liberals understand their opponents – and human nature – very well.  They know the loyalty level of the average voter isn’t even skin deep.

The issues creating the smoke that are leaks from the intelligence community and come from Obama bureaucrats who are still employed in positions that give them access to information a “Hate Trumper” should not have — like leaker James Comey.  They are holdovers from Obama whose jobs have not yet been filled by the Trump team.

One of the most hostile actions plotted to destroy the Presidency of Donald J. Trump comes from the man who served as President for the eight years before Trump: Obama.  For the first time in more than 200 years of American history, a former President is actively involved in trying to cause the President who replaced him to fail.

A group set up by Obama called “Organizing for Action” (OFA – too bad they didn’t add the word League… OFAL) – is prepared to cause chaos and possibly violence around the nation on the issues Trump supports and the former President opposes.

According to a New York Post article, Obama’s OFA plans to implement change in communities on issues involving gun control, socialist healthcare, abortion, gender equality, climate change, and immigration reform.  Gee, do any of those sound familiar?

Aren’t they the very issues that caused Hillary Clinton to lose her bid for the Presidency because she opposed them?  Aren’t those things responsible for the victory of Donald Trump?  Aren’t these things a majority of people across the country support (excluding those who live in large sanctuary cities)?  As his performance in office proves, Obama opposes them.  Thus, they must be changed.  What the people support doesn’t matter to Barrack Obama and OFA.

The Post article makes readers ask the question:  If you had 30,000 people around the nation who ask “how high” when you say “jump,” and if you had a court system corrupted by years of liberal progressive judicial appointments, how much damage could you do to America?  Those are resources OFA has and that is how much damage Obama appears to be planning.

Imagine for a moment how this works.  President Trump issues an Executive Order imposing a travel ban on people who come from nations famed for their skills as terrorists.  They are experts at killing innocent people… whether slitting a woman’s throat in Oklahoma on a public street, or killing almost 50 people in Orlando (exactly a year ago), or murdering people who just gave them a baby shower.  They kill in many cities elsewhere in the world… murder is their claim to fame.

This Order runs in opposition to OFA’s beliefs – and they want to impose those beliefs on all of us because in their opinions of their own opinions, they are right.

OFA calls for protests from its paid 30,000 members and for anti-immigration statements from pro-illegal immigration policy experts… and ACLU lawyers swing into action, filing lawsuits in jurisdictions where activist judges obstruct immigration laws (the 9th District).

They call for protests at airports and at Town Hall Meetings held by elected officials.  The left-wing media which supports all things liberal and progressive makes sure anti-immigration protests receive extensive prime-time coverage (and they make sure to feature sad pictures of weeping émigrés being turned away from the land of opportunity).  Because of Trump, they are unable to leave behind their violent lives to live peacefully in America… like they live peacefully in Belgium, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Sweden, etc.

The 9^th District Court makes a legal decision in opposition to the President’s travel ban and without jurisdiction to do so places the citizens living in all other Court Districts in the nation at risk by stopping the Presidents Order.  Something is wrong with that concept.  Something is very wrong with a legal system that permits it to happen.

And that is how OFA, a group set up by Barrack Obama, works.

I got an email this week that explains why liberal progressives behave the way they do – why, for example, people are willing to pop up at a protest on a moment’s notice (aside from the fact that many of them are unemployed, need a cause, and get paid for doing so).  You may have seen the same email.  It is a wonderful explanation of why the media so hates Donald Trump… so much so it would rather destroy the nation than write truthful news of his plans and achievements.  It has to do with things staying the way they have always been.

You start with a cage containing four monkeys and inside the cage you hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under the banana.

Before long, a monkey will go the stairs and climb toward the banana.

You spray ALL the monkeys with ice cold water.  After a short time, another monkey makes an attempt. As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray ALL the monkeys with ice cold water.

It won’t take many such repetitions of the above and when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will physically prevent it.  They are tired of shivering after taking unwanted ice cold water baths.

Now, put away the cold water.  Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new monkey.  The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs.  To his shock, all of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him.  After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

Remove another monkey (of the original four) and replace it with a new monkey.  The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked.  The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment – with enthusiasm – because he is now part of the “team.”

Then replace the third of the original monkeys with a new monkey, followed by the fourth.  Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he will be attacked.

The monkeys that are beating the new monkeys have no idea why they are not permitted to climb the stairs.  They have no idea why they are beating the newest monkey… none of the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with ice cold water.

Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana.  Why?  Because in their minds getting beat up if you try to climb the stairs is how it has always been!

And that describes the behavior of media, the swamp in Washington, D.C. and the politicians and the bureaucrats that populate it, and it describes the unexplainable hatred of President Donald J. Trump. In the liberal progressive world, that’s the way it has always been.

After listening to last Thursday’s monologue by James Comey and his charges that the most “respected” newspapers in the nation, The Washington Post and The New York Times, willingly print stories they know to be false, suggests that these editors and reporters are psycho.

They are like the monkeys in a cage with that banana… and they thought the game would go on forever because that’s the way it has always been.  People would always believe what they wrote because that’s the way it has always been.

Then there’s CNN.  They employed a woman who held by the hair a picture of President Trump’s head with blood pouring down his face, telling the public she’s a comedienne and this is funny.  Such a person is mentally ill and should be institutionalized.  She is guilty of aiding and abetting the enemy!  Isis recruiting will jump to a new high!

The woman defends her actions by saying “I’m a comedienne.”

She has no concept that her action is perverted.  She thinks such actions are funny and defends her self, blaming the Trump family for their reactions to her exhibit designed to promote violence against the President.  She cannot believe someone doesn’t think she’s funny and thinks she is a victim because someone she brutally attacked fought back and she is the loser.  She’s probably always been a loser.

Our FBI Director is supposed to protect Americans from terror and other forms of violent crime.  James Comey is so weak it should frighten every one of us.  The FBI is headed by a man so insecure he’s afraid to say to his boss, “Mr. President, this conversation is inappropriate.”  He was  too frightened of Loretta Lynch to tell her he was heading an “investigation,” not a “matter” after Lynch insisted he call it that – and he did.

Do we now have a FBM rather than a FBI?

Thank God Putin did not send the FBI a message while Comey was Director.  He would be so stunned he would lock himself in a closet for months.

I have said since the beginning that James Comey is as slick as a wet snake.  He proved it during his Senate hearing.  He did damage President Trump, but he did more damage to himself.  The personal notes he gave to a Columbia University Law Professor to leak to The New York Times were written while he was still the FBI Director and the notes belong to the government, not James Comey.  They were not his to leak.  And that, I believe, represents misprision of felony.

I never thought I’d say this, but congratulations to Senator John McCain for (along with Senator Tom Cotton R-AR) asking the most intelligent questions of the entire Comey hearing.

A lot of smoke but no fire – not at the White House, anyway.
