| Commentary Will Trump Be Impeached? Here’s Everything You Need to Know About the Process Impeachment is not a legal proceeding like a federal criminal prosecution. None of the procedural rules that apply to criminal and civil trials in the federal courts apply. More Commentary Why Conservatives Should Take Heart Despite Socialist Upsurge Traditionally, socialism has meant government ownership of the means of production—businesses, factories, etc. But today, only 17% of Americans define it that way. More Commentary Mike Lee’s Constitutional Vision Is Exactly What Congress Needs The goal is a noble one—namely, to “restore the original understanding of the president’s power to take care that the laws are faithfully executed.” More News 6 Things to Know About the Hyde Amendment “Since 1976, the best research indicates that the Hyde Amendment has saved over 2 million unborn children,” states a 2016 report from the Charlotte Lozier Institute.

Monday, June 10, 2019 US-Mexico Immigration Deal On Friday, President Trump announced a deal with Mexico regarding immigration. The deal “averted Trump’s threatened imposition of 5% import tariffs on all Mexican goods that had been due to start on Monday unless Mexico committed to do more to help reduce an increase in migrants arriving at the U.S. southern border… The agreement expedites a program known as the Migration Protection Protocols that was announced in December. That program sends migrants seeking asylum in the United States to wait in Mexico while their cases are being processed… “[Other] key aspects of the agreement are still unclear, including whether Mexico has pledged to buy more U.S. agricultural products and if the deal materially expanded a previous commitment by Mexico to more vigorously police its southern border with Guatemala.” Reuters From the Left The left is critical of Trump’s negotiating tactics, and argues that this deal will not solve the underlying problems with the immigration system. “The whole point of trade deals is that they’re supposed to provide some certainty. The USMCA, like NAFTA, amounts to a promise by all three participants that they won’t arbitrarily impose new barriers to cross-border trade. Then Trump went ahead and threatened major new tariffs on Mexico, not because it had violated its trade agreements, but because he didn’t like something that was happening on the border, a situation that has nothing to do with trade policy. So the USMCA appears, in practice, to be a solemn promise by the U.S. government not to impose tariffs on Mexican products … unless it feels like it. If that’s what you get out of making a deal with America, why bother?… events like the Mexican standoff weaken America’s position in the world.” Paul Krugman, New York Times The incident “cracked open fissures among Republicans, with business groups and GOP senators angrily lobbying the White House to persuade the president to back down… The brouhaha also exposed the diminishing effectiveness of the president’s negotiating style, if only because of its growing predictability, which is signaling to those across the table that neither he — nor his threats — can be taken seriously. It was eerily reminiscent of the president’s threat in late March to close the U.S. southern border if Mexico didn’t stop the flow of undocumented immigrants and illegal drugs into the United States — only to back down six days later and issue Mexico a ‘one-year warning’ instead.” Eliana Johnson and Nancy Cook, Politico “Nine days in spring offered a case study in Mr. Trump’s approach to some of the most daunting issues confronting him and the nation: When the goal seems frustratingly out of reach through traditional means, threaten drastic action, set a deadline, demand concessions, cut a deal — real or imagined — avert the dire outcome and declare victory. If nothing else, he forces attention on the issue at hand. Whether the approach yields sustainable results seems less certain… “Even after the deal was struck on Friday night, the Business Roundtable issued a statement essentially asking Mr. Trump not to do it again, describing itself as ‘deeply concerned about the threat or imposition of tariffs to press policy changes with our neighbors and allies.’ Business, after all, likes certitude, predictability. So does Washington.” Peter Baker, New York Times “Mexico did not cause the surge of immigrants from Central America to the United States, and it is not well positioned to solve the problem. Better tools are at hand for the U.S. president and Congress, if they would only decide to wield them… “A concatenation of court rulings, congressional inaction and administration failures has created a perverse incentive for migrants to cross the border with children. They claim asylum; a swamped court system postpones their case for years; the government does not have the facilities or the legal right to hold them; so they are ‘paroled’ into the United States for an extended period. Most of the asylum claims eventually are denied… Congress should approve funding to hire more judges and to hold families in decent conditions for short periods. The more durable fix would be to allow for the legal flow of immigrants that the economy needs, including legal status for ‘dreamers’.” Editorial Board, Washington Post From the Right The right celebrates the deal as a victory for Trump, but argues that the immigration system must still be fixed by Congress. “Trump went about his business and did what other politicians refused to do. He found a promising way to decrease illegal immigration… Mexico has a vulnerable economy and the U.S. economy is far, far stronger. Mexico had and still does have more to lose and so it made a deal. Leveraging your superior bargaining power is part of the art of the deal.” Tom Del Beccaro, Fox News The President of the National Border Patrol Council writes, “The historic agreement will end the magnet known as catch-and-release. It will free up valuable Border Patrol resources. It will save American taxpayers billions of dollars that otherwise would have been used to fund the many social programs, medical care, housing, education and incarceration (among other things) for illegal immigrants in the United States. If Mexico follows through on this agreement, the Border Patrol will finally stop being a quasi-social services agency. We will once again become a law enforcement agency. This will allow us to properly focus on the criminal elements and dangerous drugs that flow across our borders.” Brandon Judd, Fox News Trump “played high-stakes poker and won a round on border security… [Voters] are a pretty smart bunch. Assume for a moment that they know, generally, that tariffs are a lousy idea in terms of economic growth. Assume as well that they know that tariffs can be an instrument of national power in confrontations unrelated to economic growth… “Assume that voters know our competition with China is far more than an economic race, but rather a complex geopolitical rivalry that both sides wish to keep contained short of open conflict and that is waged through proxies, cyber-confrontations, intellectual-property battles, freedom-of-the-seas disputes and the relative size and power of our armed forces and those of our allies. In that context, tariffs on Chinese goods are just part of an overall negotiation toward a new normal that is in everyone’s interest. So ‘tariffs bad, free trade good’ is simplistic. ‘Free trade is good and agreed-upon international conventions are required for genuinely free trade and tariffs may be necessary to achieve those conventions’ is accurate. And widely understood.” Hugh Hewitt, Washington Post Critics, however, argue, “These changes may reduce the migrant wave from Central America, which reached as many as 1,500 people a day in late May. But the underlying incentive of lax U.S. asylum law will still attract migrants whether or not they have to stay for a time in Mexico. Fixing that loophole is Congress’s job, but Democrats refuse to act. Yet by focusing so much on Mexico as the cause of the border mess, and now declaring diplomatic victory, Mr. Trump is taking the political pressure off Democrats to act on immigration… “The use of tariffs to achieve non-trade goals is bad policy that won’t stop with immigration… Now that Mr. Trump is using tariffs as an all-purpose weapon, look for others to play the same game. Joe Biden’s climate proposal, released last week, suggests using tariffs against countries that don’t do what he wants on climate change. The danger is that future Presidents will also view tariffs as a diplomatic remedy for whatever ails them. Congress would do well to take back the ‘emergency’ and ‘national security’ blank checks on trade that it has given Presidents over the decades.” Editorial Board, Wall Street Journal On the bright side… California restaurant offers free pizza to diners who lock away their phones.

POLITICO PLAYBOOK
A perfect example of how some Democrats are struggling with impeachment
By ANNA PALMER, JAKE SHERMAN and DANIEL LIPPMAN
06/10/2019 05:55 AM EDT
DRIVING THE DAY
HAPPENING TODAY: The House Judiciary Committee has its hearing with John Dean and former U.S. attorneys about the Mueller report. The hearing begins at 2 p.m. in 2141 Rayburn. It’s supposed to be an explanatory session about obstruction and various other elements of the Mueller report.
— THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE is a hotbed of impeachment supporters. Thirteen of the panel’s 22 Democrats have said they support impeachment, according to the NYT’s impeachment whip list. The committee’s chairman, Jerry Nadler, has also pressed Speaker Nancy Pelosibehind the scenes to allow him to move forward on impeachment.
HERE’S A PERFECT EXAMPLE of the impeachment struggle for Democrats in tough seats. Rep. LUCY MCBATH (D-Ga.) won a suburban Atlanta House seat that’s been in Republican hands for years. She isn’t yet ready for impeachment, and this is how the Atlanta Journal-Constitution described her demeanor in front of a “friendly crowd packed with supporters”:
— AJC STORY: “In fact, the second question of the event advocated opening impeachment proceedings against the president. Marietta resident Lori Goldstrom, who described herself as one of McBath’s early backers, said she was ‘concerned’ she had not spoken out in support of impeachment.
“‘It’s really troubling, all these children who are dying at the border,’ she said. ‘The House has a job to do and you need to have a hearing.’ McBath nodded, adding that she was ‘absolutely furious’ about the actions of the Trump administration, without echoing the ‘i’ word or mentioning the president by name.
“‘Looking at the Mueller Report, there is no doubt in our mind that there has been obstructive behavior in concealing the truth,’ she said. But McBath urged patience and switched the emphasis to enforcing House subpoenas issued to current and former administration officials. ‘We need to hear from the witnesses who can give us the truth as to what actually happened,’ she said. ‘We need to make sure that no entity, and no one person, is above the law. … At the end of the day, the chips will fall where they may.’” AJC
KNOWING BILL BARR … BIG NYT PROFILE: “People Are Trying to Figure Out William Barr. He’s Busy Stockpiling Power: Is he the operator who spun the then-secret Mueller report? Or the straight shooter who later disclosed portions that were damaging to President Trump?” by Sharon LaFraniere, Charlie Savage and Katie Benner
IMMIGRATION LATEST … “Trump’s Twitter defense of Mexico agreement is short on specifics,” by Ted Hesson and Doug Palmer: “President Donald Trump spent much of this weekend tweeting that Mexico will take ‘strong measures’ against northward migration as a result of Friday’s trade deal, and bewailing the ‘Corrupt Media’ for underplaying those measures’ significance.
“But Trump didn’t specify any Mexican concessions on immigration, referring vaguely to unnamed ‘things we had, or didn’t have.’ And the one concession the president did specify (in a Saturday tweet), concerning agricultural trade, did not appear in the joint statement issued Friday.
“Neither the White House, nor the State Department, nor the Homeland Security Department volunteered any clarification to the president’s tweets Sunday, and those agencies, along with the Mexican embassy, did not answer POLITICO’s request Sunday for comment.” POLITICO
— NYT ED BOARD: “When Will Congress Get Serious About the Suffering at the Border?”: “It has been more than a month since the administration sent Congress a request for $4.5 billion in additional border assistance. A large portion of the money, $3.3 billion, was earmarked for humanitarian aid — which most lawmakers agree is sorely needed. But a relatively modest piece of the request aimed at shoring up border security operations, roughly a quarter of the total, has tied negotiators in knots.
“Early on, Democrats were opposed to funding additional detention beds for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Republicans had problems with Democrats’ demands for changes in the administration’s asylum policies. At one point, negotiators thought they were close to resolving these conflicts, only to have other issues snarl the process. Beyond the money for security, one of the remaining disagreements is how much data sharing will be allowed between the agencies responsible for caring for migrant children and those that handle border enforcement. …
“There is much to despise about this administration’s immigration policies, which are exacerbating this crisis, but there should be no ambivalence about the urgency of addressing the humanitarian needs. While lawmakers wring their hands and drag their feet, tens of thousands of migrant children are suffering. Congress needs to get serious about dealing with that suffering.” NYT
HOW IT PLAYED IN TIJUANA … THE ECONOMIST: “A saga that had threatened to hobble the still-young presidency of Andrés Manuel López Obrador became instead a crisis averted. Mexico’s president announced that a rally he had planned in central Tijuana in ‘defence of national dignity’ would now become a celebration of Mexico’s success at the negotiating table.
“On June 8th governors, bishops and unionists joined the president on the stage at a traffic intersection as locals climbed atop bus stops and taco stands to glimpse the festivities. ‘To President Donald Trump I raise not a closed fist, but an open and honest hand,’ said Mr. López Obrador.” The Economist
Good Monday morning. OUT TODAY … JON MEACHAM and country music superstar Tim McGraw have published “Songs of America: Patriotism, Protest, and the Music that Made a Nation,” a look at music and history from founding father John Dickinson’s 1768 “Liberty Song” to the music of 9/11. The Nashville neighbors will be at the Beacon in New York tonight and will stop Wednesday at the Anthem in D.C. for conversation and performances by McGraw. (“Blessedly,” Meacham said, “no singing from me, and Brooks Brothers was out of cowboy hats.”)
TUCKER DOHERTY and TANYA SNYDER: “Chao created special path for McConnell’s favored projects”: “Chao’s aide Todd Inman, who stated in an email to McConnell’s Senate office that Chao had personally asked him to serve as an intermediary, helped advise the senator and local Kentucky officials on grants with special significance for McConnell — including a highway-improvement project in a McConnell political stronghold that had been twice rejected for previous grant applications.
“Beginning in April 2017, Inman and Chao met annually with a delegation from Owensboro, Ky., a river port with long connections to McConnell, including a plaza named in his honor. At the meetings, according to participants, the secretary and the local officials discussed two projects of special importance to the river city of 59,809 people — a plan to upgrade road connections to a commercial riverport and a proposal to expedite reclassifying a local parkway as an Interstate spur, a move that could persuade private businesses to locate in Owensboro.” POLITICO
HAPPENING TOMORROW … BURGESS EVERETT: “Senate GOP to meet with Trump White House on spending bills”
A message from PhRMA:
There are wrong and right prescriptions for changing Medicare. Seniors need Washington to focus on the right ones. Cutting costs for everyone except seniors and limiting access to lifesaving medicines are the wrong prescription for Medicare. Making changes that help seniors pay less out-of-pocket are the .
ABOUT THAT SENATE AGENDA … “Republicans whistle past the ‘legislative graveyard,’” by Burgess Everett and Marianne LeVine: “The Senate is going to get back to good ol’-fashioned legislating any day now. Republicans swear it. Mitch McConnell’s Senate has been almost entirely focused on confirming President Donald Trump’s personnel and judges and has little in the way of recent legislative victories. …
“The paltry list of accomplishments has given Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer an opening to portray the GOP as devoid of any agenda and could endanger Republicans at risk in a tough election cycle. And there’s a growing recognition within the GOP that it needs to do more.
“McConnell and his deputy, Majority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.), are telling committee chairmen to start approving bills and get them ready for the floor, according to Republican senators. Some lawmakers are optimistic that by August, they will have passed a bill lowering health care costs along with defense policy legislation. Approval of a new North American trade deal this year is also a possibility, as is a bipartisan deal to lift stiff budget caps.” POLITICO
FOR YOUR RADAR — “U.S. Commander Weighs an Expanded Mideast Force to Counter Iran,” by WSJ’s Gordon Lubold aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln in the North Arabian Sea: “The commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East said he may recommend a return to a larger U.S. military presence in the area after concluding that the deployment of this aircraft carrier and other capabilities helped curtail Iranian threats.” WSJ
— FT’S ANDREW ENGLAND: “Qatar warns U.S.-Iran stalemate could trigger conflict”: “Iran and the U.S. are locked in ‘stalemate’ and both parties need to compromise to avoid a ‘miscalculation’ triggering a conflict, Qatar’s foreign minister has warned.
“Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani said Doha — which has ties to both Iran and the U.S. — had been in discussions with Washington and Tehran in bid to de-escalate the situation in the region following weeks of high tensions that raised fears of a new conflict erupting in the Middle East.” FT
— “Senators make bipartisan push to halt arms sales to Saudi Arabia,” by Burgess Everett: “Senators are making a new bipartisan effort to block the Trump administration’s arms sales to Saudi Arabia, a sign that Congress remains unsatisfied with the United States’ relationship with the kingdom amid a civil war in neighboring Yemen and the killing of a Saudi journalist last year.
“Sens. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Todd Young (R-Ind.) are using a provision in the Foreign Assistance Act to request a report from the administration on Saudi Arabia’s human rights record, which could eventually trigger a vote to halt billions in arms sales which Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is moving forward despite congressional opposition.” POLITICO

There are wrong and right prescriptions for changing Medicare. Seniors need Washington to focus on the right ones..
2020 WATCH — NATASHA KORECKI in Cedar Rapids, Iowa: “Warren, Booker stand out on chaotic Iowa stage”: “In the early state where field organization has traditionally mattered the most, Sen. Cory Booker and Sen. Elizabeth Warren have quietly and patiently concentrated their resources toward building grassroots machines designed to power them on caucus night.
“It showed here on Sunday as 19 Democratic presidential candidates converged for the first time in one venue to make their five-minute pitch to the party faithful. The gathering, designed to honor Iowa Democrats in a Hall of Fame dinner, offered the first glimpse of a sprawling Democratic primary field — and the organizational strength and enthusiasm each campaign could muster.
“Booker and Warren weren’t the only presidential hopefuls to stand out. The senator from next door in Minnesota, Amy Klobuchar, also put on a show of force both inside and outside the Cedar Rapids Doubletree Hilton Hotel, where the dinner took place.” POLITICO
— “Warren’s nonstop ideas reshape the Democratic presidential race — and give her new momentum,” by WaPo’s Michael Scherer in Lansing, Mich.: “Six months after launching her candidacy amid blundering apologies for her longtime claims of Native American ancestry and nagging questions about whether she could compete on a national stage, Warren is experiencing something unusual in the crowded Democratic field: momentum.
“It is not showing up in national polls, which have remained largely steady with Warren in the single digits, far behind former vice president Joe Biden. But energized crowds have been flocking to her events in early-voting states. Her nonstop stream of policy positions, which add up to what would be a restructuring of American capitalism, has helped shape the broader debate.” WaPo
— NATASHA KORECKI and MARC CAPUTO: “Biden gambles on high-risk primary strategy”: “From his schedule to his messaging to his policy positions, the former vice president is carving a divergent path through the primaries based on a theory that few of his rivals appear to believe — that the Democratic base isn’t nearly as liberal or youthful as everyone thinks.
“It’s a high-risk strategy at a time when the progressive wing is pulsing with energy. There is a danger of looking disconnected from the rising Obama coalition, or seeming to adhere to an outdated view of the party. But so far it’s working. Since his April 25 launch, despite talk that his polling numbers would slide once he entered the race because he was out of step with the current party mood, Biden has instead led in every national survey. He sprinted out of the gate with a post-announcement 6-point bump and still hold leads in recent early state polls.” POLITICO
— “How Old Should a President Be? With So Many Choices, Democrats Are Sharply Divided,” by NYT’s Lisa Lerer and Denise Lu
TRUMP’S MONDAY — The president will have lunch with VP Mike Pence at 12:30 p.m. in the private dining room. He will participate in a meeting on Major League Baseball’s efforts to combat human trafficking at 3 p.m. in the Oval Office. Trump will meet with the 103rd Indianapolis 500 Champions, Team Penske, at 4 p.m. in the Oval Office.

HMM … “NRA money flowed to board members amid allegedly lavish spending by top officials and vendors,” by WaPo’s Beth Reinhard, Katie Zezima, Tom Hamburger and Carol Leonnig: “In all, 18 members of the NRA’s 76-member board, who are not paid as directors, collected money from the group during the past three years, according to tax filings, state charitable reports and NRA correspondence reviewed by The Washington Post.
“The payments received by about one-quarter of board members, the extent of which has not previously been reported, deepen questions about the rigor of the board’s oversight as it steered the country’s largest and most powerful gun rights group, according to tax experts and some longtime members.”
FOR YOUR RADAR … PROTESTS IN HONG KONG: “Hundreds of thousands of protesters marched through Hong Kong on Sunday to voice their opposition to legislation that would allow people to be extradited to mainland China where they could face politically charged trials.
“The massive demonstration took place three days before the semi-autonomous Chinese territory’s government plans to bring the highly contentious bill to the full legislature in a bid to win approval by the end of the month.” AP
WHAT THE PENTAGON IS READING — “United Technologies Strikes Deal to Merge With Raytheon,” by WSJ’s Cara Lombardo and Doug Cameron: “United Technologies Corp. doubled down on the aerospace market with an all-stock deal to merge with defense contractor Raytheon Co., after UTC executives earlier chose to exit the escalator and air-conditioner businesses.
“The combined company, valued at more than $100 billion after planned spinoffs, would be the world’s second-largest aerospace-and-defense company by sales behind Boeing Co., with annual revenue of about $74 billion this year. It will make everything from engines and seats for jetliners and F-35 jet fighters.” WSJ

Seniors need Washington to focus on the right prescription for changing Medicare. .
BEYOND THE BELTWAY — “The South’s Economy Is Falling Behind: ‘All of a Sudden the Money Stops Flowing,’” by WSJ’s Sharon Nunn in Natchez, Miss.: “The American South spent much of the past century trying to overcome its position as the country’s poorest and least-developed region, with considerable success: By the 2009 recession it had nearly caught up economically with its northern and western neighbors.
“That trend has now reversed. Since 2009, the South’s convergence has turned to divergence, as the region recorded the country’s slowest growth in output and wages, the lowest labor-force participation rate and the highest unemployment rate.
“Behind the reversal: The policies that drove the region’s catch-up—relatively low taxes and low wages that attracted factories and blue-collar jobs—have proven inadequate in an expanding economy where the forces of globalization favor cities with concentrations of capital and educated workers.” WSJ
MEDIAWATCH … WAPO’S MARGARET SULLIVAN: “Journalists can’t repeat their Watergate-hero act. The reasons should make us grieve”: “As the anniversary of the Watergate scandal’s beginning comes around again … investigative journalism’s effectiveness is weakened. The reporting may be every bit as skilled, but the results are greatly diluted because so much has changed in the nation, including its media. … Today’s journalistic work … should have made far more difference than it has.”
— “Google Made $4.7 Billion From the News Industry in 2018, Study Says,” by NYT’s Marc Tracy: “$4,700,000,000 … [is] the amount that Google made from the work of news publishers in 2018 via search and Google News, according to a study to be released on Monday by the News Media Alliance. The journalists who create that content deserve a cut of that $4.7 billion, said David Chavern, the president and chief executive of the alliance … That $4.7 billion is nearly as much as the $5.1 billion brought in by the United States news industry as a whole from digital advertising last year.” NYT
— CNN’S BRIAN STELTER: “Can newspapers be saved from Big Tech? This proposal aims to try”: “When House members convene on Tuesday for the first of several hearings about the power of Big Tech, they’ll be hearing multiple pitches for a bill called the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act.
“Lobbyists for the newspaper industry are promoting the bill as a way to even the playing field between their businesses and the two giants of the online ad market, Google and Facebook.
“The bill would provide newspapers and online publishers with a four-year antitrust exemption, allowing them to band together in negotiations with online platforms.”

“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension… is itself a frightful despotism.” GEORGE WASHINGTON Good morning! Over a million people in Hong Kong marched on Sunday in protest of a proposed extradition bill. Concerns are that the bill makes it possible for Beijing to extradite with impunity human rights defenders and other critics of the regime. “It would violate the human rights that everyone is born with, including freedom of speech and freedom of assembly,” one protester told The Epoch Times.

Government welfare obliterates the best side of human nature; it destroys generosity, and kindness, and genuine concern for the welfare of others. Indeed, the welfare state is the deadly enemy of the “welfare society.” Read more The Mueller report appears to have been carefully worded by the lawyers working under former special counsel Robert Mueller, and perhaps Mueller himself, in a manner designed to inflict political damage on President Donald Trump.

Trump Gets a Deal with Mexico El arte de la negociacion. Late on Friday, President Trump announced via Twitter (of course!) that a deal had been reached with Mexico and the 5% tariff on products from Mexico will not start today. The President tweeted: “I am pleased to inform you that The United States of America has reached a signed agreement with Mexico. The Tariffs scheduled to be implemented by the U.S. on Monday, against Mexico, are hereby indefinitely suspended. Mexico, in turn, has agreed to take strong measures to stem the tide of Migration through Mexico, and to our Southern Border. This is being done to greatly reduce, or eliminate, Illegal Immigration coming from Mexico and into the United States. Details of the agreement will be released shortly by the State Department. Thank you!” More from The Hill: “Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard confirmed on Twitter that a deal had been reached to avert the tariffs. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in a statement Friday thanked Ebrard “for his hard work to negotiate a set of joint obligations that benefit both the United States and Mexico.” As part of the deal reached Friday, Mexico has agreed to deploy its national guard throughout the country to help apprehend migrants and fight gangs, boost intelligence sharing with the U.S. and allow the U.S. to deport migrants seeking asylum to Mexico to await adjudication, the State Department said. Mexico this week froze the assets of more than two dozen entities believed to be involved in human trafficking and deployed 6,000 members of its newly-created national guard to its southeast border in an effort to contain groups of migrants crossing from Guatemala.” ‘Notorious RBG’ Praises Kavanaugh In October 2018, the New York Times wrote, “Former colleagues of Justice Kavanaugh have described a longstanding reputation of promoting women in law.” In the article, the Times also highlighted Justice Kavanaugh’s four clerks, who are all women. Interestingly, all worked for various judges appointed by Republicans. At a conference last Friday, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg praised him saying, “Justice Kavanaugh made history by bringing on board an all-female law clerk crew. Thanks to his selections, the Court has this Term, for the first time ever, more women than men serving as law clerks.” 15 Books to Give Dads Who Don’t Fish or Golf I have a dad and a stepdad and nearly every year I have to search the Father’s Day card section for cards that don’t have fishing or golfing themes. Rather than agonize over the perfect card he’ll read and put in a drawer because he feels guilty throwing it away, give one of these books instead. I include suggestions for dads who keep reading material in the bathroom, dads who rank James Bonds and villains, new dads, and dads who say a quick goodbye so you don’t see them cry. See my list here. A Case of the Mondays This story is amazing — “My dad died. Classic start to a funny story. He was buried in a small village in Sussex.

Our cup runneth over with epic fashion moments from the First Lady in
Europe. My favorite FLOTUS fashion writer, John Binder, wrote about them
throughout the week:
Melania Trump Meets the Queen In Iconic Hervé Pierre Hat
Melania Trump Channels Her Inner Royal in Philip Treacy Hat
Melania Trump Is the Crown Jewel in Dior Haute Couture for U.K. State Dinner
Melania Trump Is A Rose in Red Embroidered Givenchy Gown
Melania Trump Is Old Hollywood Glamour in Hermès Scarf
Basically, everything that is available for purchase is now sold out. I
wouldn’t know where to begin on finding similar looks but I’ll give it a
try in an upcoming column.
Rachel Campos Duffy made a great point on FLOTUS playing to her audience. She wrote,
“Melania once again demonstrates how fashion diplomacy is done. This is
perfection. What a beautiful fashion tribute to the late Princess
Diana. Vogue & others in liberal high fashion world look so petty
& out of touch not putting our gorgeous, stylish FLOTUS on a
magazine cover.”
Mondays with Melania is a weekly feature that highlights what the First Lady is doing and wearing. BRIGHT is brought to you by The Federalist. |

Good morning,The first 2020 Democratic Presidential debates are coming on June 26 and 27. PredictIt, in partnership with Scottrasmussen.com polling,
is preparing to launch a few special markets for the debate that will
predict the question everyone will be asking: who won? The trader who
makes the most profit combined in these select markets will be featured
at the top of the tournament leaderboard for the month of
July. Just 26%
of voters believe YouTube is likely to use its new content rules fairly
while 34% expect it will censor views that it doesn’t like. However, an even larger number–40%–simply are not sure.Republicans and Independents are more likely to expect censorship. Democrats have a different view.To
ensure equal opportunities for all points of view, just 21% believe the
federal government should impose regulations on YouTube. That’s partly
because 59% believe government regulators are more likely to be biased
than YouTube.If the election were held today, 42% of Asian voters would vote for the Democrat from their district while 30% would vote for a Republican.
A ScottRasmussen.com national survey found that the Democratic
advantage among Asians is twice as large as their six-point lead among
all voters.In most
public opinion surveys, the number of Asian voters is too small to
report reliable results. However, by reviewing the data from over 7,000
total interviews conducted during the week ending June 7, we were able
to produce a statistically meaningful sample.Twenty-five
percent
(25%) of Asian voters trust the federal government to do the right thing
all or most of the time. Twenty-four percent (24%) rarely or never
trust it. That is a far higher level of trust than offered by most Americans.Finally, 41% of American adults pray daily.
A ScottRasmussen.com national survey found that another 22% pray at
least once a week. At the other extreme, 15% rarely or never pray.Thirty-four
percent
(34%) read the Bible or another religious text at least once a week.
Twenty-seven percent (27%) regularly meet with a small group of others
who share their faith for study, fellowship, or accountability.Have a great day,Scott

MEET THE PRESS
From NBC’s Chuck Todd, Mark Murray and Carrie Dann
FIRST READ: Here are four takeaways from that Iowa poll – beyond the horserace.
Eight months out until the Iowa caucuses,
we care A LOT more about what Iowa Democrats want – rather than the state of the horserace.
Especially before the first debates even take place later this month.
So here’s what caught our eye in
the Des Moines Register/CNN Iowa poll that was released over the weekend:
1. Beating Trump is more important than ideology
Two-thirds of likely Democratic caucus-goers say it’s more important to them that the Iowa winner has a strong chance of beating Trump, while just a third say it’s more important that the winner shares their position on key issues.
2. Iowa Dems are divided on impeachment
Forty-two percent of likely caucus-goers who plan to participate in person believe House Democrats should begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump ASAP. That’s compared with 48 percent who want them to focus on investigations – but not move forward with impeachment.
3. Here are the most POPULAR candidates when it comes to the fav/unfav numbers among in-person caucus-goers
Elizabeth Warren (+54)
Kamala Harris (+50)
Pete Buttigieg (+49)
Joe Biden (+48)
Bernie Sanders (+45)
Cory Booker (+36)
And Beto O’Rourke (+33).
4. Here are the LEAST POPULAR candidates
Tulsi Gabbard and Tim Ryan (+2)
Seth Moulton (+1)
And Bill de Blasio (-26).
As for the horserace in poll, Biden leads the pack at 24 percent – followed by Sanders at 16 percent, Warren at 15 percent and Buttigieg at 14 percent.
But we have almost an eternity to go until February 2020…

That’s a lot of cattle
Speaking of Iowa, a whopping 19 Democratic candidates (!!!) spoke at cattle call in Cedar Rapids on Sunday.
Some of the highlights, per NBC’s team on the ground there:
Bernie Sanders
“I
understand that there are some well-intentioned Democrats and candidates
who believe that the best way forward is a ‘middle ground’ strategy
that antagonizes no one, that stands up to nobody
and that changes nothing. In my view, that approach is not just bad
public policy, but it is a failed political strategy that I fear could
end up with the reelection of Donald Trump. The American people want
change, real change, and we have got to provide
that change.”
Elizabeth Warren
“I’ve
done 90 plus town halls. I’ve taken literally thousands of questions.
I’ve been to 20 states and Puerto Rico and we’re coming up on our
30,000th selfie. That is how you build a grassroots
movement. Because here’s why. Why do I have the time to do that?
Because I’m not spending my time with high-dollar donors and with
corporate lobbyists. I’m spending my time with you. That’s how we build a
grassroots movement in America.”
Pete Buttigieg
“Now,
we’ve got a lot of work to do to vindicate our values, to establish a
new democracy where money can’t outvote people and politicians can’t
choose their voters by drawing districts the way
they look. A democracy where all citizens, including those of D.C. And
Puerto Rico enjoy proper political representation in our capital. And
maybe in this greatest democracy in the world we might go about choosing
our president by giving it to the person who
got the most votes.”
Kamala Harris
“And, Iowa, I’m going to tell you there’s a rap sheet full of evidence to make the case [against Trump]. Let’s look at what happened. He promised health care and then he tried to rip health care away from millions of people. What’s that called? Health care fraud. He said he was for working people, then he passed a tax bill benefitting the 1% and biggest corporations of this country. That’s tax fraud. He believes the president of Russia and a northern Korean dictator, and then he claims to be the best president we’ve seen in a generation. I’d say let’s call Barack Obama because that’s identity fraud.”
TWEET OF THE DAY: Family first
“Nobody move … or the United States gets it”
Did anyone else think of the
scene from “Blazing Saddles” – when Sheriff Bart takes HIMSELF hostage
to get out of a sticky situation –
after
reading this on Trump’s tariff/immigration deal with Mexico?
“The deal
to avert tariffs that President Trump announced with great fanfare on
Friday night consists largely of actions that Mexico had already
promised to take in prior discussions with the United
States over the past several months,”
the New York Times reported over the weekend.
More:
“Friday’s joint declaration says Mexico agreed to the “deployment of
its National Guard throughout Mexico, giving priority to its southern
border.” But the Mexican government
had already pledged to do that in March.”
And:
“The centerpiece of Mr. Trump’s deal was an expansion of a program to
allow asylum-seekers to remain in Mexico while their legal cases
proceed. But that arrangement was reached
in December in a pair of painstakingly negotiated diplomatic notes that
the two countries exchanged.”
Not surprisingly,
Trump has taken issue with the New York Times report in a tweet,
saying “Another false report in the Failing @nytimes. We have been
trying to get some of these Border Actions for a long time, as have
other administrations, but were not able to get them, or get them in
full, until our signed agreement with Mexico.”

2020 VISION: Focusing on New Hampshire
After
a weekend when Iowa dominated the political world’s attention, New
Hampshire comes into focus this week, NBC’s Amanda Golden and Julia
Jester report.
Seven Democratic contenders make their way to the Granite State this week: Amy Klobuchar and Seth Moulton on Monday; Tim Ryan on Tuesday; Jay Inslee on Wednesday; Andrew Yang starting
on Thursday; and Elizabeth Warren and Kirsten Gillibrand on Friday.
These
candidates will make their pitches to New Hampshire voters at events
like political forums, house parties, meet and greets, and fundraisers.
Today,
Klobuchar is set to have a voting rights conversation with young
Democrats, and Moulton will be the first to make his case to employees
at the largest electric
utility company in the state.
And on
Friday, actress Connie Britton joins Kirsten Gillibrand for a fundraiser
for young Democrats (clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose).
On the campaign trail today: Amy Klobuchar stumps in New Hampshire, hitting Manchester for a Politics & Eggs event, Concord and Somersworth… Seth Moulton also is in the Granite State… And Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris and Steve Bullock all remain in Iowa.
DATA DOWNLOAD: And the number of the day is… 24
24.
That’s the number of immigrants who have died in ICE custody during the Trump administration,
according to a new NBC News review.
At least four others have died shortly after being released.
And that
total doesn’t include the deaths of other migrants, including five
children, who have died while being held by other federal entities.
THE LID: Carolina in my mind
Don’t miss the pod from Friday, when we looked at how important North Carolina will be in 2020.
ICYMI: News clips you shouldn’t miss
Alex Seitz-Wald checks in on why the 2020 candidates are spending so much time on… selfies?
Democratic leaders are shifting towards a legislative strategy to address election interference rather than an impeachment inquiry.
The Washington Post has more details on lavish spending by the NRA.
The California legislature has agreed to extend some health benefits to people who are in the country illegally.
And on MSNBC’s “Kasie DC” last night, Rep. Rob Woodall, R-Ga., admitted he’s yet to read the Mueller report.
Thanks for reading.

| Understanding the 10 investigations into the FBI’s inappropriate 2016 behavior Posted: 10 Jun 2019 05:43 AM PDT The more we learn, the more questions we have. That’s how deep the hole goes in the FBI’s and DOJ’s involvement in attempting to “hack” the elections of 2016. Ironically, Russian election hacking was the cover they used to instigated their own efforts to subvert the American people and fix the election for Hillary Clinton.

| Why Christians should defend Israel politically Posted: 10 Jun 2019 04:44 AM PDT It’s easy to be anti-Israel whether it’s labeled as anti-Semitic or anti-Zionist. It seems that everyone from celebrities to politicians, forum comment trolls to social media gurus are generally more supportive of Hamas, Hezollah, the Palestinian Authority, and Iran than Israel. For reasons that we’ll discuss later, blaming Israel and the Jewish people in general […] The post Why Christians should defend Israel politically appeared first on Conservative Christian News. |
| Heather Higgins on how the media vilifies conservative women Posted: 10 Jun 2019 03:44 AM PDT Heather Higgins knows all about being vilified as a conservative woman. As CEO of Independent Women’s Voice and chairman of its sister organization, Independent Women’s Forum, she’s been forced to live under the scrutiny of leftist mainstream media for years. Why? Because women are supposed to be progressive, pro-choice, and anti-conservative. If not, they’re an anomaly.

06/10/2019 Share: Carl Cannon’s Morning Note Oversight vs. Overreach; Hyde’s History; Taking Cuba By Carl M. Cannon on Jun 10, 2019 09:23 am Good morning, it’s Monday, June 10, 2019. Immersed in an editing project, I’ll be out of the office for much of the week, so I’m reprising some of my daily history homilies from years’ past, beginning today. The noteworthy event I’m highlighting this morning took place in Cuba 121 years ago on this date, when a contingent of U.S. Marines landed on an isolated spot on the island’s southern coast. It seems incongruous that we’ve kept a military presence on that island ever since, but it’s true. Is it time to leave? Perhaps, but this morning we’re looking at how American forces arrived there in the first place. I’ll have more on this in a moment. First, I’d point you to RealClearPolitics’ front page, which presents our poll averages, videos, breaking news stories, and aggregated opinion columns spanning the political spectrum. We also offer original material from our own reporters and contributors, including the following: * * * Constitutional Oversight? Or Unconstitutional Overreach? Frank Miele writes that Democrats’ stated basis for seeking testimony or documents from the executive branch is not found in the Constitution itself. The Hyde Amendment Isn’t Going Anywhere. Bill Scher offers some historical perspective on the controversy Joe Biden found himself in the middle of last week. Disruptor-in-Chief Shows How to Win With Mexico. Steve Cortes applauds the president for his refusal to accept the status quo or cower to the nation’s elites. PolitiFact’s Notre-Dame Retraction Illustrates Digital-Era Pitfalls. Kalev Leetaru examines the fact-checking site’s declaration that a viral photograph was a fake, and its later reversal. Liberalism in the Progressive — and in the Larger – Sense. Peter Berkowitz assesses a new book by Adam Gopnik, “A Thousand Small Sanities: The Moral Adventure of Liberalism.” Visit to China Dispels “Enemy” Myth. RealClearMarkets editor John Tamny shares lessons from his latest trip to the country demonized by the current administration. Sensible Wireless Policy Needed to Bridge Digital Divide. In RealClearPolicy, David Williams outlines challenges in allocating the C-band spectrum needed to accommodate 5G technology. Why “The Idol of Our Age” Resonates With Readers. In RealClearReligion, Chandler Lasch considers the success of Daniel Mahoney’s book about secular humanitarianism’s effect on church thinking about divine mercy and Christian charity. * * * The U.S. Marines who landed on the beach at Guantanamo Bay on June 10, 1898 were led by 57-year-old Civil War veteran Robert W. Huntington. This man, and a sergeant named John H. Quick, were the very embodiment of the United States Marine Corps — and the American military itself all the way back to the nation’s founding. Born in 1840, Huntington quit college in 1860 to enlist in the Union Army. He fought at Bull Run, was later detailed to the U.S. Navy, and became a Marine officer. His first wife died young; his second wife, Elizabeth Sherburne Whipple, was the daughter of Maj. Gen. Amiel Whipple, a West Point man killed at the Battle of Chancellorsville. Sgt. Quick knew none of this pedigree as he followed orders during the 100-hour battle with Spanish irregulars defending Cuba against the Americans on June 10-12, 1898. Quick did know that he and a couple of other men, including a young lieutenant named Draper and a Capt. McCauley, were supposed to wave a flag to the ships offshore signaling when the bombardment should begin and where it should be directed. Suddenly, just as it seemed the flag-waving sentries were sitting ducks, these young officers were joined on the hill by their commander, Lt. Col. Huntington. The scene was captured by famed war correspondent and Civil War novelist Stephen Crane in a dispatch headlined “Marines Signaling Under Fire at Guantanamo”: Colonel Huntington came himself to the signal place with Adjutant Draper and Captain McCauley, the quartermaster. When the man stood up to signal, the colonel stood beside him. At sight of the lights, the Spaniards performed as usual. They drove enough bullets into that immediate vicinity to kill all the marines in the corps. Lieutenant Draper was agitated for his chief. “Colonel, won’t you step down, sir?” “Why, I guess not,” said the gray old veteran in his slow, sad, always-gentle way. “I’m in no more danger than the man.” “But, sir –” began the adjutant. “Oh, it’s all right, Draper.” And so it was. The men on the hill survived the battle, the Marines set up their beachhead, the United States liberated Cuba from Spain — and “Gitmo” remains in Yankee hands to this day. The question, more relevant than ever, is what we should do with our prize. Carl M. Cannon Washington Bureau chief, RealClearPolitics @CarlCannon (Twitter) ccannon@realclearpolitics.com |
