Famously disgraced (for blatant violation of journalistic ethics) Brian Williams of MSNBC has the gall to stop live coverage of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings with AG Barr to claim that Lindsey Graham's claim that the Mueller report proves there was no collusion is "not accurate," based on the technicality that the investigation didn't call it that. A little rich, coming from a member of the media that was hot to find "collusion" for two years.
Michelle Malkin revisits the illustrious career of Hunter Biden and his father's role in it. And here's an interesting addendum: Hunter has split with his late brother's widow Hallie, whom he had started going with on the heels of his divorce from his own wife of 22 years.
Two items about House Dem from California Ro Khanna today: He tweets that Mike Pence, by publicly proclaiming that the US recognizes Juan Guaido as the legitimate president of Venezuela, is "inciting violence" there. Calls for "restraint." Also, an interesting Vox piece about Khanna's relationship to the tech industry. Can he straddle the line between Big Tech's reliably leftist orientation and the accusations it increasingly fields about being a center of overly concentrated power in post-America?
Very worthwhile piece by Mark Hemingway at Real Clear Investigations on the mission creep that is observable at many organizations (Amnesty International, ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center) that used to focus on real human-rights violations. Big reason: Lots more donor money to be harvested from focusing on the supposed outrage of the week.
On the other side of the spectrum, there's the current turmoil at the NRA, also due in part to an equivalent kind of mission creep, as Jonah Goldberg points out.
David Solway at PJ Media offers a highly effective examination of the final stage, which we are living through, of the transformation of the United States of America into post-America.
