Ohr's testimony Tuesday was devastating to Obama's FBI, the Democrats' collusion narrative, and Robert Mueller's investigation.
Limbaugh began the discussion by providing some background on Ohr and his wife, both of whom played a role in the creation of the Steele dossier which helped start the Trump "Russian collusion" investigation.

Luis Bracamontes:[144]
‘He shot them both,’ defense lawyer says of illegal immigrant accused of killing two cops
There’s never been much dispute over whether Luis Bracamontes shot and killed two Sacramento-area deputies in October 2014.
He has repeatedly admitted to it in court hearings, and at the start of his trial Tuesday his own lawyer essentially convicted the illegal immigrant of killing Sacramento sheriff’s Deputy Danny Oliver and Placer sheriff’s Deputy Michael Davis Jr. in a daylong spree of violence that started in a Motel 6 parking lot near Arden Fair Mall.
“Let me be clear and up front,” public defender Jeffrey Barbour told the jury hearing his case. 
“Mr. Bracamontes is responsible for the death of Deputy Danny Oliver and Detective Michael Davis..."

America Is Moving Toward An Oligarchical Socialism | Newgeography.com
"Where do we go after Trump? 
This question becomes more pertinent as the soap opera administration seeks its own dramatic demise. 
Yet before they can seize power from the president and his now subservient party, the Democrats need to agree on what will replace Trumpism.
...Yet this conflict could resolve itself in a new, innovative approach that could be best described as oligarchal socialism.
See the source imageOligarchal socialism allows for the current, ever-growing concentration of wealth and power in a few hands — notably tech and financial moguls — while seeking ways to ameliorate the reality of growing poverty, slowing social mobility and indebtedness. 
This will be achieved not by breaking up or targeting the oligarchs, which they would fight to the bitter end, but through the massive increase in state taxpayer support.
  • Conflicting visions
Historically, liberals advocated helping the middle class achieve greater independence, notably by owning houses and starting companies. 
But the tech oligarchy — the people who run the five most capitalized firms on Wall Street — have a far less egalitarian vision. 
Greg Fehrenstein, who interviewed 147 digital company founders, says most believe that 
  • “an increasingly greater share of economic wealth will be generated by a smaller slice of very talented or original people. 
  • Everyone else will increasingly subsist on some combination of part-time entrepreneurial ’gig work‘ and government aid.”
Numerous oligarchs — Mark Zuckerberg, Pierre Omidyar, founder of eBay, Elon Musk and Sam Altman, founder of the Y Combinator — have embraced this vision including a “guaranteed wage,” usually $500 or a $1,000 monthly. 
  • The socialist challenge
Particularly since Donald Trump’s election, the leaders of corporate America — especially in tech and finance — have merged with the Democrats. 
They appeal to progressives by advocating politically correct views on immigration, gender rights and climate change, while muzzling conservatives both inside and outside their companies.
But now the socialists have raised the ante for progressive credibility. 
Going beyond green and identity issues, they are raising issues that impact most families. 
Arguably their strongest case can be seen in health care, now the top issue with voters, according to Gallup. 
In some states, notably California, socialists are also backing a drive for rent control to help families cope with high rents and low wages.
A focus on such basic issues could reorder not just the Democratic Party but the country itself. 
Faced with limited future prospects, more millennials already prefer socialism to capitalism and generally renounce constitutionally sanctioned free speech — not something you like to see in what will soon be the largest voting bloc in the country...
  • A New Deal for oligarchs
Theoretically, the Democrats moving to the left should terrify the oligarchs..."

Steve Russo - The Anti-Trump Rally Disguised As A Funeral

Steve Russo - The Anti-Trump Rally Disguised As A Funeral
""The Anti-Trump Rally Disguised As A Funeral
The week-long canonization of John McStain finally came to a bitter end on Saturday. 
Just like McCain. 
...Leftists and swamp-dwellers alike were reveling in the anti-Trump rally disguised as a funeral that went on all week but came to a climax in Washington on Saturday. 
If you thought there was any difference between party establishments, guess again. 
Doesn't matter if they have an R or a D after their name, establishment ilk resides in both party's and they hate you as much as they hate this president...
The selected speakers didn’t so much as eulogize the sneerly departed as they did use their moment in the spotlight to take not-so-subtle digs at the sitting President. 
It was petty, vindictive, passive/aggressive and childish. 
You know. 
Like John McCain himself...
...And meanwhile, out here in the real world, we the voters are paying attention to the disrespect, condescension and cruelty...
Because destroying Trump and undoing the 2016 election means more to them than the country.
If they thought that weaponizing McCain’s funeral would cripple support for President Trump, trust me, they would hold a funeral for him every weekend until the Midterms.
And I think they’d do it with John McCain’s blessing."

Hollywood’s portrayal of astronaut Neil Armstrong in the biopic “First Man” was quick to elicit the attention on Friday of aviation legend Gen. Chuck Yeager.
Social media platforms lit up before the weekend as news spread that Ryan Gosling’s latest film does not include the American flag being planted on the moon. Critics fretted that “First Man” would essentially turn Mr. Armstrong into a progressive caricature when Mr. Yeager, 95, weighed in.

Americans pay more in taxes than for housing, food, clothes combined - MarketWatch
"What we spend on our home, food and clothing pales in comparison to our annual tax bill.
In 2016, Americans will pay roughly 20% more for their federal, state and local taxes than for the their housing, food and clothing combinedaccording to an analysis by the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan tax research organization.


In 2016, Americans will likely spend roughly $1.6 trillion on food, $2.1 trillion on housing and $360 billion on clothing, totaling about $4.1 trillion. 
Meanwhile, their total tax bill will be about $4.9 trillion ($3.34 trillion in federal taxes and $1.6trillion state and local taxes)..."
