<p>While the mainstream media and Democrats rapidly shift their focus from the thoroughly debunked &#8220;collusion&#8221; narrative to Robert Mueller&#8217;s inconclusive findings on &#8220;obstruction,&#8221; President Trump has been busy celebrating what he and his lawyers have emphatically declared his complete exoneration: &#8220;no collusion, no obstruction.&#8221; Since the release of the Special Counsel&#8217;s final report, Trump&#8217;s activity online has been almost entirely focused on the report&#8217;s findings and analysis of those findings by media figures, particularly over at his favorite cable news network. He&#8217;s also made a point of pushing back on some of the &#8220;bullsh**&#8221; claims in the &#8220;Crazy Mueller Report.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s first post-Mueller report tweet, issued as Barr was giving his press conference, was met with a rebuke from HBO: &#8220;No collusion. No obstruction. For the haters and the radical left Democrats: Game Over,&#8221; reads the &#8220;Game of Thrones&#8221;-themed meme. Trump chose to pin that one to the top of his feed.</p>

<p>Trump then posted a &#8220;no collusion, no obstruction&#8221;-themed video:</p>

<p>Thursday afternoon, Trump tweeted the first of a series of quotes from media figures on the Right (tweets below).</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8216;Donald Trump was being framed, he fought back. That is not Obstruction,'&#8221; Trump wrote, citing Fox News&#8217; Jesse Watters. &#8220;I had the right to end the whole Witch Hunt if I wanted,&#8221; the president added. &#8220;I could have fired everyone, including Mueller, if I wanted. I chose not to. I had the RIGHT to use Executive Privilege. I didn&#8217;t!&#8221;</p>
<p>Thursday evening, Trump pointed out that the Russian election meddling all took place while Barack Obama was president. &#8220;Anything the Russians did concerning the 2016 Election was done while Obama was President. He was told about it and did nothing! Most importantly, the vote was not affected,&#8221; wrote Trump.</p>
<p>He then quoted another Fox News host, Martha MacCallum, pushing back on the &#8220;obstruction&#8221; narrative: &#8220;When there is not an underlying crime with regard to Collusion (in fact, the whole thing was a made up fraud), it is difficult to say that someone is obstructing something. There was no underlying crime.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump next highlighted comments by Tucker Carlson, who issued a blistering rebuke of the media on his show Thursday night. &#8220;&#8216;If dozens of Federal prosecutors spent two years trying to charge you with a crime, and found they couldn&#8217;t, it would mean there wasn&#8217;t any evidence you did it &#8212; and that&#8217;s what happened here &#8212; that&#8217;s what we just learned from the Mueller Report,'&#8221; Trump wrote, quoting Carlson. &#8220;&#8216;The Mueller Report is perhaps the single most humiliating thing that has ever happened to the White House Press in the history of this Country. They know they lied&#8230;Many reporters lied about Russia Collusion and so much more. Clapper &amp; Brennan, all lies.'&#8221;</p>
<p>The president followed that pair of posts by retweeting a comment by The Wall Street Journal&#8217;s Kimberly Strassel: &#8220;Jump to &#8216;where the Mueller team lists its &#8216;prosecution and declination&#8217; decisions . . . try not to picture Mueller &#8216;pit bull&#8217; prosecutor Andrew Weissmann collapsed under mountains of federal statutes after his two-year hunt to find one that applied.'&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Kimberley Strassel should get the Pulitzer,&#8221; Trump wrote. &#8220;She is a treasure (and I don&#8217;t know her) who correctly called the Russia Hoax right from the start! Others who were soooo wrong will get the Prize. Fake News!&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Crazy Mueller Report&#8221; tweets continued Friday morning, with Trump defending his decision not to testify and dismissing some of the statements made about him in the report as &#8220;total bullsh**&#8221; that were &#8220;given to make the other person look good (or me to look bad).&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Statements are made about me by certain people in the Crazy Mueller Report, in itself written by 18 Angry Democrat Trump Haters, which are fabricated &amp; totally untrue,&#8221; he tweeted. &#8220;Watch out for people that take so-called &#8216;notes,&#8217; when the notes never existed until needed. Because I never agreed to testify, it was not necessary for me to respond to statements made in the &#8216;Report&#8217; about me, some of which are total bullsh** &amp; only given to make the other person look good (or me to look bad). This was an Illegally Started Hoax that never should have happened, a&#8230;&#8221; (No follow-up tweet has since been posted.)</p>

Here’s All The Stuff Trump’s Posted Since Release Of ‘Crazy Mueller Report’

Donald Trump

Fox News

Jesse Watters

Kimberley Strassel

Robert Mueller

Russia

Trump Administration

Tucker Carlson

<p>Since it&#8217;s &#8220;Follow Friday&#8221; on Twitter today, we offer up a must #ff: @KimStrassel.</p>
<p>Kimberly Strassel is the Potomac Watch columnist for the Wall Street Journal editorial page, and she has a nifty knack for cutting through all the BS and simply telling it like it is.</p>
<p>She did just that for her 200,000+ followers on Thursday after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democratic Socialist from New York, released a preposterous 10-year plan called the &#8220;Green New Deal&#8221; to do away with airplanes, eliminate &#8220;farting cows,&#8221; end the use of fossil fuels, overhaul every building in America, and provide taxpayer cash even to those &#8220;unwilling&#8221; to work, among a slew of other absurd pies in the sky.</p>
<p>Strassel teed it all up by saying the document, written like a grade-school wish list, could have easily been a plant from wily Republicans. &#8220;By the end of the Green New Deal resolution (and accompanying fact sheet) I was laughing so hard I nearly cried,&#8221; Strassel wrote on Twitter. &#8220;If a bunch of GOPers plotted to forge a fake Democratic bill showing how bonkers the party is, they could not have done a better job. It is beautiful.&#8221;</p>

</div>
<p>Then Strassel cited <a href="https://reason.com/blog/2019/02/07/green-new-deal-democratic-socialism-by-o">a piece</a> by Reason&#8217;s Ronald Bailey headlined &#8220;How Much Will the Green New Deal Cost?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;2) See Ron Bailey for look at sheer number of turbines, solar panels, facilities necessary just for the &#8216;renewable electricity&#8217; bit. Wud need 500k square km, bigger than California. Also note, govt will pay for these &#8212; not private sector,&#8221; she wrote.</p>

</div>
<p>But Strassel was just getting started. She mocked the proposal&#8217;s call to &#8220;upgrade or replace every building in US for state-of-the-art energy efficiency.&#8221; As The Daily Wire&#8217;s Matt Walsh <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/43177/walsh-5-most-hilarious-and-insane-things-matt-walsh">points out</a>, &#8220;there are over 5 million commercial buildings in the U.S. Add that to the approximately 127 million households, which is to say nothing of all the schools and churches and hospitals, and you have a project that would cost trillions of dollars and take decades, at a minimum, to complete.&#8221;</p>
<p>Said Strassel: &#8220;3) Also, AOC would put charging stations &#8216;everywhere,&#8217; upgrade or tear down &#8216;every building&#8217; in the country (homes and businesses), install high-speed rail across every state, upgrade all our infrastructure. (Maybe once Ds allow permitting reform? LOL. LOL. LOL.)&#8221;</p>

</div>
<p>But the WSJ&#8217;s writer wasn&#8217;t done yet. Next, she mocked the plan&#8217;s call for the goverment to provide &#8220;a job with a family-sustaining wage, family and medical leave, vacations, and retirement security for every American.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;4) Somehow, government-run healthcare, &#8216;family sustainable&#8217; wages, paid leave, and &#8216;affordable&#8217; housing are also &#8216;required&#8217; for a clean economy. I would love to understand this logic. (And imagine what wages will need to be to pay for billion-dollar-per-kilowatt electricity),&#8221; Strassel wrote.</p>

</div>
<p>The proposal also says &#8220;we set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren&#8217;t sure that we&#8217;ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast.&#8221; That set Strassel up yet again.</p>
<p>&#8220;5) Key part though people is bit in fact sheet that explains why resolution is not immediately banning fossil fuels or demanding zero-emissions across economy. Because &#8216;we aren&#8217;t sure that we&#8217;ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast.&#8217; Note &#8216;fully.&#8217; &#8220;</p>

WSJ Writer Has Absolute Blast Shredding Ocasio-Cortez’s Idiotic Green New Deal

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Wall Street Journal

<p>The news was big. Gargantuan, really.</p>
<p>Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump&#8217;s nominee for the Supreme Court, once threw ice at another guy in a bar some 30 odd years ago.</p>
<p>We told you it was big.</p>
<p>&#8220;Kavanaugh Was Questioned by Police After Bar Fight in 1985,&#8221; The New York Times headline read. The story, by &#8220;journalist&#8221; Emily Bazelon, said this: &#8220;As an undergraduate student at Yale, Brett M. Kavanaugh was involved in an altercation at a local bar during which he was accused of throwing ice on another patron, according to a police report.&#8221;</p>
<p>The hit piece, though, was full of holes.</p>
<p>&#8220;The outlines of the incident were first referred to in a statement issued on Sunday by Chad Ludington, one of Judge Kavanaugh&#8217;s college classmates and a member of the Yale basketball team. &#8216;On one of the last occasions I purposely socialized with Brett, I witnessed him respond to a semi-hostile remark, not by defusing the situation, but by throwing his beer in the man&#8217;s face,&#8217; Mr. Ludington said in the statement,&#8221; the Times reported.</p>
<p>Uh, what happened to the ice? The Times never says.</p>
<p>But there&#8217;s more. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Monday slammed the reporter by questioning what motivated the &#8220;ridiculous&#8221; story.</p>
<p>&#8220;Democrats desperately attack Judge Kavanaugh for throwing ice during college. What motivated New York Times reporter to write this ridiculous story? Throwing ice 33 years ago, or her opinion of Judge Kavanaugh in July?'&#8221; Sanders wrote on Twitter.</p>

</div>
<p>In her tweet, Sanders linked to a July tweet posted by Bazelon in which the &#8220;journalist&#8221; wrote:</p>
<p>&#8220;As a @YaleLawSch grad &amp; lecturer, I strongly disassociate myself from tonight&#8217;s praise of Brett Kavanaugh. With respect, he&#8217;s a 5th vote for a hard-right turn on voting rights and so much more that will harm the democratic process &amp; prevent a more equal society.&#8221;</p>

<p>Kimberly Strassel, the &#8220;Potomac Watch&#8221; columnist for The Wall Street Journal editorial page, took to Twitter to mock the heavily biased Times &#8220;reporter.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It boggles my mind that a &#8216;reporter&#8217; that has expressed such unreserved opinions on a public figure is allowed to continue writing stories on said public figure,&#8221; Strassel wrote.</p>

ICED: White House Rips NY Times Reporter For ‘Desperate And Ridiculous’ Attack On Kavanaugh

Brett Kavanaugh

New York Times

Sarah Huckabee Sanders

<p>Boy, does the GOP establishment hate Ted Cruz. On Saturday night, one of the moderators for the GOP debate will be Kimberley Strassel of the Wall Street Journal, a notorious Cruz-hater with a laundry list of attacks on the conservative candidate.</p>
<p>In truth, this should not be surprising; despite the patina of conservatism ascribed to the Journal because of its op-ed page. In 2004 a study rated the rest of the paper <a href="http://qje.oxfordjournals.org/content/120/4/1191.short#fn-1">more leftist</a> than the New York Times.</p>
<p>Here are some examples of Strassel&#8217;s Cruz-hatred:</p>
<p>For <a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887324266904578459162301492522">starters</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Texas Sen. Ted Cruz recently gave a speech to some FreedomWorks activists, delivering a fascinating retelling of the Senate gun-control fight. After taking credit for killing the bill with his filibuster threat, Mr. Cruz went on to divide the Republican caucus between those who have &#8220;principles&#8221; and those who are &#8220;a bunch of squishes.&#8221;</p>
<p>This is one way to divvy up the GOP caucus, though it is a largely false (and self-serving) construction. The real divisions in today&#8217;s Republican Party are not so much over ideology as they are over strategy. The GOP is split between those who insist on making a point, and those who want to make some progress.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>And <a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303342104579099533747025184">this</a>, from an article titled, &#8220;Defunders Give Democrats a Pass&#8221;:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This effort has not, for some time now, been about victory. It has become, as RedState&#8217;s Erick Erickson put it with his usual eloquence, about shining a light on the &#8220;cockroaches&#8221; in the GOP. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has spent months berating his own side as &#8220;appeasers&#8221; who care only about &#8220;being invited to all the right cocktail parties in town.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>How about this implication, from Strassel&#8217;s <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/fox-news-sunday-chris-wallace/2013/09/29/exclusive-rep-kevin-mccarthy-talks-roadmap-budget-showdown-key-senators-debate-defunding">appearance</a> on Fox News Sunday:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Well, look, here is the thing: everyone is saying this is some divide in the Republican Party between, you know, the people who are principled versus the people who are sellouts. What is becoming clear is that the real divide here all along has been between those who actually wanted a commonsense strategically planned way of going forward, and those who just sort of marched ahead, into the headlines, they didn&#8217;t do any of the hard work that is necessary for adventure of this sort to make it work. And, you know, I called some of these groups, the fund ring leader and said, what&#8217;s your plan, what Senate Democrats are you targeting to get to come along with you? What is your PR strategy if shutdown comes up to get the American public behind you, what&#8217;s your fall back when the president doesn&#8217;t do this?</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>I was told these were all tedious questions. And so, you know, now this is what we have. And the reality is they have made a lot of strategic blunders. That&#8217;s the cold eye appraisal. They decided to do this on the budget rather than the debt ceiling, which the American public is much more behind as the issue. They have no fall back plan. They have sacrificed some of their best leverage, things like this congressional exemptions subsidy, fighting on the individual mandate. And they&#8217;ve given Democrats an excuse now to just say we&#8217;re not doing anything, because this is such a spectacle. This has been a strategic error.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Still again, as she <a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304410204579141582841805144">disparaged</a> Cruz and Sen. Mike Lee for their staunch defense of conservatism:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The Republican Party is in a disorderly retreat from its own Valley of Death, having been led there by Sens. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, flanked by drummers Heritage Action, FreedomWorks, Senate Conservatives Fund, and Club for Growth. Their cause was just, their charge courageous. And it was utterly suicidal. They were mowed down by a Democratic Party that was dug in, fully alerted and had every advantage.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Wait, there&#8217;s more, with her <a href="http://www.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303775504579395521321143180?mod=WSJ_Opinion_LEADTop&amp;mg=reno64-wsj&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fonline.wsj.com%2Farticle%2FSB10001424052702303775504579395521321143180.html%3Fmod%3DWSJ_Opinion_LEADTop">smug title</a> of &#8220;Another Misguided Cruz Missile&#8221;:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Members of Congress routinely cook up situations that force opposing parties to take &#8220;tough votes.&#8221; This may be the first time a senator did so solely to damage his own party. It may also be the first time a senator has used the privileges afforded him under Senate rules to benefit a small and coordinated band of conservative campaign groups. Their No. 1 target is Mr. McConnell, who Mr. Cruz hasn&#8217;t forgiven for failing to embrace his damaging shutdown.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The woman simply can&#8217;t help herself. Check <a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/republican-insiders-shine-1446160326">this one</a> out:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Mr. Cruz&#8217;s insight into voters is smaller and more calculating&#8212;but effective nonetheless. The Texas senator understands that people are mad. Mr. Trump has caught the attention of many of these voters, but Mr. Cruz is presenting himself as a more effective alternative. And he&#8217;s quite believable, having proven he&#8217;d throw anybody under the bus&#8212;right, left or center&#8212;to accomplish his aims.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Keep going, Kimberley; you&#8217;re <a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/ted-cruzs-security-misstep-1447978514">on a roll</a> in this one, titled, &#8220;Ted Cruz&#8217;s Security Misstep&#8221;:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>It may have seemed like a good idea to Mr. Cruz at the time. But after Paris, he finds himself with a national security agenda that is increasingly at odds with the public will. Florida&#8217;s Marco Rubio (who opposed the NSA bill) had fun this week reminding Americans of the stark foreign-policy differences between himself and the Texan, noting that Mr. Cruz has supported laws that &#8220;weaken U.S. intelligence.&#8221; Mr. Rubio, who has delivered at least 10 major foreign-policy addresses in the past few years, is running as the unabashed hawk, calling for robust new U.S. world leadership. Mr. Cruz may have walked himself into playing the counterpoint&#8212;a Rand Paul stand-in.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JoeypbaWCk">Ripping</a> Cruz and intimating voters were stupid as she slammed Cruz for his attempts to explain why his efforts on an amendment dealing with immigration were designed as a &#8220;poison-pen&#8221; maneuver to kill the bill: &#8220;I guess, the question is, he&#8217;s putting his faith in whether or not voters are going to understand the arcane legislative maneuvering that goes on in Washington.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This pretty much sums Strassel up; she can&#8217;t believe that a man who attended Princeton, Harvard, and clerked for a Supreme Court Justice could actually reject leftist values.</p>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>And <a href="http://www.wsj.com/podcasts/the-gop-debate-trump-vs-cruz-the-rise-of-sanders/0BE3B381-19B7-4BDC-A641-DB99E5408BFB.html">finally</a>, from January 16 of this year, as Strassel attacked Cruz for his &#8220;New York values&#8221; comment. This pretty much sums Strassel up; she can&#8217;t believe that a man who attended Princeton, Harvard, and clerked for a Supreme Court Justice could actually reject leftist values: &#8220;It&#8217;s very tough to listen to Cruz talk about some of these things, because this is a guy who went to Princeton, went to Harvard, clerked for federal judges, and is married to a woman who worked for Goldman Sachs.&#8221;</p>
<p>The supposition is ridiculous; look no farther than Daily Wire editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro for someone else who attended Harvard Law School and still remained a fierce conservative.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s the point; the ferocity of Cruz&#8217;s conservatism unnerves Strassel enough  that there is no way she can act as an impartial moderator.</p>
