Directed by Robert Mueller, the FBI conducted a pre-dawn raid on the home of political consultant Roger Stone, accused of lying to congress. The only agents not affected by the government shutdown stormed the house at 4AM and arrested the dangerous 66-year-old. CNN cameras just happened to be there. Mueller dubs Stone the most nefarious criminal he has had apprehended since Steven Hatfill, accused of anthrax attacks on Congress, later exonerated and whom the Justice Department paid $5.82 million in a legal settlement. Mueller also said Stone is the leader of a gang as dangerous as the four innocent Boston men the FBI railroaded for a gangland hit, who remained in prison while Mueller headed the FBI. The two who survived did 30 years. The estates of the two who died in prison were awarded $102 million in 2007 for false imprisonment. In the coming days the homes of Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page - all of whom lied to Congress, will also be raided - and CNN will be there to capture the moment - not!
I'm saddened that polls show the President is losing ground in the court of public opinion. Polls show a significant majority blame him for the shutdown, which to me seems so easily resolved. The wall would cost the equivalent of $47 on a $40,000 salary. Then again, cost is not the issue. Nancy Pelosi says its immoral. She will soon be leading the fight to tear down the wall in her home state, the one in San Diego the mainstream media doesn't want anyone to know about - not! I sensed most people were against the wall - or indifferent - when the GoFundMe campaign stalled at 20 or so million. My support for Trump is greater than ever, especially after today's events, although I believe the swamp will win in the end. Does anyone believe the issue will be resolved during the just declared two-week truce?
Stephen Colbert is one of Trump's harshest critics. Here's a link to an edited interview the two did three years ago, which CBS has tried to bury: https://710wor.iheart.com/featured/mark-simone/content/2019-01-24-shocking-colbert-video-cbs-has-deleted-this-from-all-their-websites/
At least the weather was beautiful, if the mood of the country is ugly. My thanks to the woman who bought Resolution by Denise Mina and The Nanny Diaries by by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus; and to the woman who purchased non-fiction on wine and food.
