Democrats release their memo, which supposedly completely rebuts Republican memo. I love these memos. How is it any different to communicate your talking points by memo versus press conference? Christopher Steele is a "trusted source?" Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel refuses to resign in spite of a litany of failures to recognize numerous warning signs of Nikolas Cruz. Says he's provided "amazing leadership." This school shooting illustrates numerous failures of government. What does it really mean to "arm our teachers?" Why shouldn't legal conceal carry permit holders be able to exercise their God-given Second Amendment right? MSNBC compares Trump's CPAC speech to Castro, Chavez, Ahmadinejad speeches. Total misrepresentation. Dictators don't take actions to limit government, reduce bureaucracy, cut taxes, empower people. Teen Vogue columnist Lauren Duca tweets that Billy Graham should "have fun in hell, b***h." The ever-so-tolerant far Left at it's finest.

CNN Gun/School Shooting Town Hall came unhinged. Dana Loesch called c**t, murderer. Calls to burn her. Couldn't leave venue without her personal security detail. CNN accused by student of scripting question. Ironically, if Trump tweets about this, he's the one who's accused of trying to undermine our democratic process. But who's really doing that? The Founders were unique in history by recognizing our rights came from God, not government. The God-given right to self-defense. Why wouldn't we have the right to protect ourselves from someone abusing their rights? We need to teach truth again. Not every evil act is committed by someone who is mentally ill. Many are committed because people choose evil. Or as Billy Graham said, we sin. Nancy Pelosi thinks the border wall will be ineffective, but also thinks mowing grass along the border will help reduce illegal immigration.

The great evangelist Billy Graham passed away yesterday. My humbling experience at Graham's 1999 Indianapolis Crusade. Incredible man who took the Gospel around the world. Dr. Graham said, “What causes all of this [evil, suffering, violence, Columbine shooting]?” It’s caused by a three-letter word: S-I-N.” Relevant words today. Sometimes we say "mental illness" when the real problem is evil caused by sin. CNN town hall on guns & school shootings. Scripted questions? Sheriff excoriates NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch for not wanting fewer weapons. Is that really the problem? Some on the Left say, "No one wants to take away your guns." Average, everyday Americans may not want to, but there absolutely are those calling for a complete ban on guns - and they have been for years. Rights are given by God, not by governments.

Still catching up on a few things that happened while I was out of town. Joy Behar says Vice President Pence is mentally ill because he says he hears from Jesus. Why can't God speak to those who want to hear from Him? Isn't creating something from nothing harder than communicating with people He already created? Other explanations for our existence leave much to be desired, too. Is Oprah delusional? #OneLess videos of people destroying their guns. Makes no sense. Guns are only dangerous if the person who has them decides to use them with bad intentions. I guess, if that's the case, it's good that these people are destroying their guns. Other analogies. Revolutionary War re-enactment group told to use sticks instead of guns. Finding a loophole in the Olympics.

Good to be back from my family vacation to Disney World. Hall of Presidents. Catching up on the Parkland shooting. Gun control debate. Second Amendment. Failure of Government. Prohibition. Mental illness. The way the media covers Trump's executive order that allows "mentally ill" Americans to legally own firearms illustrates some potential pitfalls. Christianity is a mental illness?

Congress leads us to another short-term government shutdown, but that will end shortly when Trump signs the Caps Deal Congress sent him this morning. Financial irresponsibility is rampant. We have a spending problem, not a revenue problem. There was another way to fund the military without adding debt, but this doesn't fit the narrative. What would Dave Ramsey tell Congress if they called him about their financial problem. A mock phone call. There are consequences for acting irresponsibly - no matter if it's in your personal life, business, church or government. DACA fix by March 23. Another shutdown possible then. I thought this bill was going to stop the fear of shutdowns? Bermuda boycotts coming? NYPD ignored 1,526 requests from ICE regarding the status of those NYPD already had detained. Politicizing national security. See you February 20.

Senate passes long-term budget deal. Goes to House. Freedom Caucus opposes because it's not responsible to increase federal spending by 13%. Let's put on our big boy & big girl pants and establish a long-term budget that addresses the core problem of spending. Our government has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. The eve of the next shutdown. Legislating by self-created crises needs to stop. Americans need to stop falling for nonsensical drivel we hear coming from the Far Left. Truth is true regardless of whether someone (or some government) believes it or not. Nancy Pelosi gives 8 hour speech on House floor. EU will not enter into free trade agreements with any country (i.e., the US) who doesn't agree to the non-binding Paris Climate Agreement. Eric Holder running for president? I'm still holding out for another run from Sexy, Sexy, Sexy Martin O'Malley. What America needs from it's leaders. Would you be surprised to know Trump has a higher approval rating at this point in his presidency than Obama? According to the latest Rasmussen poll, he does.

Adam Schiff, ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, is out there trying to find naked pics of Donald Trump. Political hacks playing politics. Schiff's speech at UPenn. Explains how Russians used Democrat talking points to divide Americans. So who exactly is seeking to divide Americans? Attack on the 2nd Amendment, which Russia apparently wanted to use to cause Americans to kill each other. Inept or corrupt? Or both? Fake tsunami warning issued for millions of Americans.

Christopher Steele wrote a 2nd dossier? If at first you don't succeed, huh? Cites friends of Clinton using Clinton money to oppose Clinton's political opponent. House Intelligence Committee votes to release Democrat FISA memo. Bring all of this stuff to the full light of day. Two diametrically opposed ideologies fighting for control of America's heart, mind & soul. Conservatism vs Statism/Socialism/Liberalism/BIg Governmentism. Conservatism works. Arrogant Leftists mock "bread crumbs" of average people. The market drop yesterday. Trump to blame? By trying to "level the playing field", Government seeks to insulate people from the consequences of their failures, but this actually prevents people from learning the lessons of their failures. Should Trump talk with Mueller? Will he be called to testify before a grand jury? New Todd Huff Radio coffee mugs!

FISA memo released Friday. Review & analyze the contents. Problem of using fallacious documents as the main reason to spy on an American citizen. And this is the primary takeaway from the memo: without the Russian Dossier, the FISA warrant would not have been granted. FBI knew dossier was paid for by DNC/Hillary campaign. Founders absolutely would not approve of this. Fourth Amendment. Why is Trump the only person capable of lying or acting inappropriately? All people are capable of lying or acting with corruption. One can have major problems with the way this FISA memo was attained without uttering one word of defense for Donald Trump. The spin never stops. Some think that since Trump is a dictator, any means to stop him are justifiable. (Yes, some actually think this - and their number may surprise you!)
