Late yesterday afternoon the Trump administration announced the end of hundreds of millions in annual aid to Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.

“I don’t think the report should be released at all and I’m frankly surprised that so many Republicans think it should be. A lot of Republicans think the investigation was flawed from its inception.

Mediaite reports: Fox News’ Laura Ingraham last night mocked the media’s post-Mueller-investigation coverage, especially Rachel Maddow’s. “You’d feel sorry for these folks if they hadn’t done such damage to the presidency and the country,” she concluded. “But they were exposed as frauds in their coverage of the collusion question and now they’re essentially wishcasting conclusions in the Mueller report.” She …

“The DHS secretary is talking about how we’re being overrun at the border.

“Night after night, never-ending lies, one bizarre conspiracy theory after another. And she has been rewarded for being the number one liar, conspiracy theorist in America. Nobody ever has challenged her or vetted her or questioned her as to to the depths and lengths she has sunk to in this process. My question to viewers: how does it feel to …

“They illegally unmasked American citizens, leaked raw intelligence about American citizens, weaponized the powerful tools of intelligence against the American people, abused the greatest trust that we could ever put in anybody in terms of as a country. If they’re not held accountable then America as this great constitutional republic, the greatest country God has ever given man, will cease …

“There was a conspiracy, a cover-up and attempted coup d’état. But it was not by anyone in the Trump campaign. It was by people inside the government who tried to upend this President and overturn the election. That’s serious. It absolutely demands an investigation and charges if they find evidence. For all this time we were told Donald Trump didn’t …

“Earlier this week John Bolton on this program said all options on the table when it comes to getting [Nicolás] Maduro out. Should we use the CIA? I realize I’m going back to the late 1950s or something. But I mean why not? Why not? The guy is a corrupt socialist dictator. He’s killing his own people in the street. …

“More than ten million illegal aliens are believed to be working in this country under the table. And that is part of the reason that between 2012 and 2016 an estimated 39 million Social Security numbers were stolen from Americans for fraudulent use, a fact that’s rarely reported. But legal or not immigrants send their earnings abroad and they pay …

“One thing to watch when you see poll after poll on these Democratic candidates, are the Democratic primary voters saying they’re going to vote for a candidate based on their principles, and their ideas, and their policy issues, or are they simply going to vote for the candidate they think has the best chance of beating President Trump? Because a …

Mediaite reports: Fox News host Laura Ingraham and Trump supporter Joe diGenova mocked Congresswoman and Democratic rising star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for using a “Latina” inflection when pronouncing her own name, and diGenova even imitated AOC’s accent.

“Now, what did they do with the dossier? Well, they spread it like wildfire, we learned — what, 12 different news agencies, different reporters, and it was disseminated, and to the American people, so that — maybe many Americans actually believe there were two hookers in a Moscow Ritz-Carlton, Donald Trump’s room at the time, and they were urinating in …
