Yes she did, but she did not close the deal. Given what could have been done and what she should have done, she has no one but herself to blame.

One additional thought. Democrats are demanding full and immediate release of the Muller report. They should be careful what they wish for because they may get it. One of the reasons Barr cites for not releasing the entire report is parts of it could interfere with ongoing investigations...

Impeachment evaporating? I think not, not even a little. That's because the collusion investigation is but one of many. Muller's work is done. Several other investigations are underway. Regarding the Barr letter about the Muller report, the most impressive paragraph to me at this point is this...

This opinion piece in the Washington Examiner nicely summarizes events of the last few weeks: Excerpt: "The very fact that this president is trying to use dubious executive authority to solve a spurious 'national emergency,' to finance a wall he said Mexico would pay for, to make an end-run...

Totally automated freight brokerage. No humans involved. If brokers go away, what changes for: 1. Drivers? 2. Dispatchers? 3. Motor Carriers? 4. Shippers?

That "blue wave" thing never made sense to me. No, you can't call it a blue wave when Republicans picked up seats in the Senate. Yes you can call it a blue wave because Democrats won the House with numerous convincing victories. So what? Election results are one of the rare things that are...

So, are you saying Trump wins by not building the wall? One thing to note about two years of Democratic opposition is it produced results. Immediately after Trump's election, work began for Democrats to win the House and they did. With the House majority comes subpoena power, and the ability to...

The current status is same as it was before the most recent shutdown. Government will shutdown soon if Trump does not get wall funding. Democrats remain steadfast on no wall funding. Trump is threatening to declare a national emergency to build the wall but is not following through.With Trump...

Here's an instructive article about that.

You are correct. Why was it that a relatively large number of Republicans chose to not seek re-election while an unusually high number of Democratic candidates rose to run?

It's not fair what they're doing to Trump but he's doing nothing to temper it either. He provokes the press instead of working to smooth things over. I have no way to establish this factually but it is my observation that the persistently and instinctively Trump-negative coverage many...

You know it commonly happens that the opposition party gains seats in the mid-term elections. It does not commonly happen with record turnout or in the number of seats gained in the House this time. Some call it a blue wave and make a big deal out of that idea. I don't. The numbers are what they...

A number of pundits are saying Trump underestimated Pelosi. I'm not so sure. Trump talking about Pelosi before she was elected House Speaker: "I like her, can you believe it? I like Nancy Pelosi. She's tough and she's smart..."

What you call The Resistance, I call the mid-term elections in which the American people turned out in record numbers to take control of the U.S. House from the Republicans and give it to the Democrats. They did not do so because they were pleased with the results Trump and the Republican...

Late Saturday afternoon, following Trumps Friday announcement that he will sign the bill to end the shutdown without gaining anything in return, the weakness of Trump's position was illustrated by Trump himself: 1. His only tweet of note said, "I wish people would read or listen to my words on...

I agree. But the problem for Trump is his word is no good. Many people believed that before. His base is beginning to believe it now. Sure, he can say he can declare a national emergency but does anyone believe him any more? He may even declare a national emergency and say he's doing it to...

Responding to the Trump tweet posted by muttly above, in which Trump says "... this was in no way a concession." The Breitbart headline (also above) and other conservative media voices see it differently: Ann Coulter: "“Good news for George Herbert Walker Bush: As of today, he is no longer the...

I think that's correct. I was not aware of the national emergency powers a president has (beyond martial law) until it was recently talked about by Trump. I was also not aware that national emergencies have been declared numerous times by previous presidents for various reasons previously...

Breitbart News headline (exactly as published there): GOVERNMENT OPEN ... ... AND BORDER NO WALL STILL NO STOU! A casual recall of the recent headlines includes: Trump friend Stone arrested Cohen subpoenaed Numerous tone-deaf statements by Trump and administration officials indicating zero...

After his court appearance today, Stone said he is innocent and will beat the charges in court. He is charged with lying to Congress, witness tampering and interfering with an investigation. One thing we have seen from Mueller is he does not take someone to court on frivolous grounds and...
