Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.
WaPost verdict on the Russian collusion fantasy: " . . . . the collusion they were counting on just is not there." BAM !!! End of story, and oh, I told you so.
WaPo: While everyone is fixated on President Trump’s unbecoming
and inexplicable assault on Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the media
has been trying to sneak away from the “Russian collusion” story. That’s
right. For all the breathless hype, the on-air furrowed brows and the
not-so-veiled hopes that this could be Watergate, Jared Kushner’s
statement and testimony before Congress have made Democrats and many in
the media come to the realization that the collusion they were counting
on just isn’t there.
