In the annals of unintentional liberal self-parody, there is a special place reserved for a column by Ruth Mayor, "I detest Trump, but a ‘redneck’ fixed my Prius with zip ties." What makes it so classic is that Mayor doesn't intend it as self-parody. She clearly intends it to reflect a liberal's awakening to the goodness in some people she otherwise wouldn't associate with. So it's basically virtue-signaling in the age of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

On Monday, I blogged about how Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) asked the FBI to declassify the criminal referral he and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) sent to the DOJ over dossier author Christopher Steele. The FBI approved a less-redacted version and Grassley released it on Tuesday, including some parts of the documents that detail why the two senators believe Steele misled the FBI. However, the portion about Steele's second dossier that had information from an associate of the Clintons and member of the State Department remains the same. In other parts, it supports claims that the FBI used Steele's dossier to receive a surveillance warrant on carter Page.

Just when you thought it wasn't possible, the Trump/Russia collusion story reached an entirely new level of ridiculous. The Democrats leading Trump/Russia/Collusion attack dog, Rep. Adam Schiff, was exposed as having taken well-known Russian pranksters, Vocan and Lexus, seriously. Vocan and Lexus, "offered to give him 'compromising' dirt on Donald Trump – including nude photos of the president and a Russian reality show star," reports the Daily Mail.

Oh, boy. How far left will the left go? I ask this because former President Barack Obama's HUD Secretary Julian Castro will visit New Hampshire to speak to the state's Young Democrats Granite Slate Awards dinner this month. Failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton even considered him as her running mate. But is it wise for the left to prop up Castro? I'd say he's too far left for the Democrats, but Donald Trump is president so anything can happen.
