In Case You Missed It Dept.:

President Trump signed an executive order requiring that universities allow free speech on campus. Student opinion is split along predictable lines. Polls show only forty percent of college students support free speech, while sixty percent think that the government should pay for it.

Vladimir Putin hosted a signing ceremony in the Kremlin Thursday where he signed into law a censorship bill that bans fake news on the Internet and outlaws slander against the government. In other words Russian comics can't tell jokes about Putin. Great, now Putin's colluding with Obama.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi addressed reporters, announcing that she would like the House to pass a bill that would lower the voting in age in federal elections to sixteen. It's a great surprise that she wants to make sixteen legal. It's the first ray of hope R. Kelly has had all year.

President Trump and Brazil's President Bolsonaro held a joint White House press conference. They talked rainforest. Brazil's rainforest produces twenty percent of the Earth's oxygen while the Washington, D.C. press corps takes up sixty percent of that oxygen complaining about Trump.

Democratic presidential candidate billionaire Andrew Yang spoke to a packed crowd of three thousand and called for a base salary for the unemployed. Yang is also an advocate for banning all male circumcision. What IS it that the Democrats have against the Jewish vote this year?

Stormy Daniels's ex-lawyer Michael Avenatti was arrested by the FBI in Manhattan for trying to extort millions from Nike. This time last year, Avenatti was America's most famous lawyer. That's show business, Avenatti, one week you're on the cover of Time, the next week you're doing it.

Tom Hanks went on PBS to discuss his stage portrayal in Henry IV last year while promoting this summer's Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles productions. The bard speaks to us across the centuries. William Shakespeare foretold the Mueller Report when he wrote Much Ado about Nothing.

Lindsey Graham vowed a Senate probe into the 2016 Hillary-FBI-media axis which produced and promoted a baseless oppo-research dossier alleging that Trump colluded with Russia. It's all coming out now. If a dead body was found in Hillary's trunk, the FBI would ask Trump why he did it.

Attorney General Barr released his summary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report after a two-year and forty-million-dollar investigation and found that Trump did not collude with the Russians. Reaction was fast. Within minutes CNN reported evidence that Robert Mueller is a Russian.

House Oversight Committee Chair Jerry Nadler promised to keep investigating Trump despite Mueller's clearing him of collusion. That may be counter-productive in the long run. I've learned that if you have to eat crow, eat it quickly, because it doesn't taste any better the longer you chew on it.
