The Associated Press has obtained the memos drafted by former FBI Director James Comey on his interactions with President Donald Trump. You can find all of them here.

The environmental movement is frequently charged by those on the political right as being a front for advancing an agenda unknown to the eco-movement’s rank-and-file membership. That the true goals of the leadership of the movement are separate and distinct from those of the grassroots members. A new documentary film accidentally shows that it has been like that from its inception in the late 1950s and early 1960s and exposes the lie at the birth of environmentalism.

Saving The Great Swamp: Battle to Defeat the Jetport is a new one-hour documentary about the events, people and politics behind the struggle to preserve a rural area of New Jersey between 1959 and 1968. The fight began when the powerful Port of New York Authority announced plans to construct a huge 10,000-acre “jetport” 26 miles west of New York City in a little-known place called the Great Swamp. In the name of progress, entire towns would be obliterated, the aquifer and wildlife destroyed, and a way-of-life threatened for thousands of people.

You want to know the truth? I don’t much care how others re-define “gender.” Not a whit. Now as to a person’s sex, I can pretty much discern that without much effort. Can I be fooled? Probably, but rare is the circumstance where that matters.

Here’s another thing: society segregates people by sex for sound reasons. When the two sexes mix, children are the inevitable result. Society loves and needs children, no doubt, but children present a huge commitment and expense; 21 plus years of learning and support. So we don’t mix the sexes capriciously. We separate them, guide them, teach them and try to ensure that our children are ready for the commitment childbirth represents when (and if) that time comes, whether planned or a surprise.

Little Beirut was Portland. When President George H.W. Bush visited Portland I was assigned stairwell duty for his overnight stay at the Portland Hilton. Stairwell duty isn’t very exciting, but you follow orders, so there I was. Half an hour after I settled in for a long night the Officer In Charge (OIC) paid me a visit and told me “we have something else for you to do.”

He had my replacement take my place and we walked down the stairs to the lobby. I was introduced to a Secret Service agent and was told I was assigned to the Secret Service Counter Sniper Team. My partner for a good part of the night was going to be a Secret Service agent. I was handed the keys to a police car and we got on the road.

In the First Amendment of our Constitution, the people are given a right of free speech. Essentially, we argue, it allows us to say whatever we want. But it can not protect us from the consequences.

All over the country, expression and speech have come under assault — not from government, but from fellow citizens acting in one accord from social media mobs (Tim Hunt, Dr. Matt Taylor) or their workplaces (James Damore, Brandon Eich). Self-described Classical Liberal Dave Rubin hosts countless Democrats who have been run through the gauntlet of mob-silencing after giving voice to thoughts that seem even mildly out of line with the Left’s positions.
