The Fake News Media is desperate to distract from the economy and record setting economic numbers and so they keep talking about the phony Russian Witch Hunt.

*Flashback*
As has been stated by numerous legal scholars, I have the absolute right to PARDON myself, but why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong? In the meantime, the never ending Witch Hunt, led by 13 very Angry and Conflicted Democrats (& others) continues into the mid-terms!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2018
The appointment of the Special Counsel is totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL! Despite that, we play the game because I, unlike the Democrats, have done nothing wrong!

In many ways this is the greatest economy in the HISTORY of America and the best time EVER to look for a job!

But not to find one?
Big Supreme Court ruling for Baker just out!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 5, 2018
The News Blender reported on Monday morning about the Supreme Court ruling, and while the baker did win his case, the order was very narrow in scope.
The Philadelphia Eagles Football Team was invited to the White House. Unfortunately, only a small number of players decided to come, and we canceled the event. Staying in the Locker Room for the playing of our National Anthem is as disrespectful to our country as kneeling. Sorry!

CBS Sports has a timeline of events about the Eagles visit to the White House being cancelled.
*Flashback*
"You have to stand proudly for the National Anthem. You shouldn't be playing, you shouldn't be there. Maybe they shouldn't be in the country…the NFL owners did the right thing" -President @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/bt36t4EX5u

*End Flashback*
For the record, the Eagles players were not among those that knelt during the 2017/2018 NFL season.
Not one single @Eagles player knelt during the National Anthem in the 2017 regular season and playoffs. Not one Eagles player chose to stay inside the locker room. This has been a team that has been united while respectfully having different opinions.

Pictured conerback Ron Brooks, he played six games for the Eagles in 2016 and was cut by the Eagles in August 2017 and has been out of the NFL since.
Fox News also reportedly incorrectly about a kneeling player from the Eagles team
This can’t be serious…. Praying before games with my teammates, well before the anthem, is being used for your propaganda?! Just sad, I feel like you guys should have to be better than this… https://t.co/kYeyH2zXdK
— Zach Ertz (@ZERTZ_86) June 5, 2018
and has since deleted the tweet and apologized to the player.
Update: In a statement provided to @usatodaysports, Fox News apologizes for using footage of Eagles players praying in its segment. pic.twitter.com/mGyir1f5dU

Why it Matters
To steal from our own Lenny Ghoul who said it better than I could: “Faux Patriotism is the worst kind of Dictatorship.”
What is taking so long with the Inspector General’s Report on Crooked Hillary and Slippery James Comey. Numerous delays. Hope Report is not being changed and made weaker! There are so many horrible things to tell, the public has the right to know. Transparency!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 5, 2018
May 20th, the President demanded via tweet that the Department of Justice look into whether or not there was a “spy” inside his campaign placed there by President Obama. In response to the Presidents request, the IG (Inspector General) had the scope of his investigation widened. As we reported @ The News Blender at the time.
The U.S. has an increased economic value of more than 7 Trillion Dollars since the Election. May be the best economy in the history of our country. Record Jobs numbers. Nice!

We will proudly be playing the National Anthem and other wonderful music celebrating our Country today at 3 P.M., The White House, with the United States Marine Band and the United States Army Chorus. Honoring America! NFL, no escaping to Locker Rooms!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 5, 2018
As a reminder the NFL players weren’t required to be on the sidelines during the National Anthem until 2009, they did have the option prior to 2009.
We have had many Championship teams recently at the White House including the Chicago Cubs, Houston Astros, Pittsburgh Penguins, New England Patriots, Alabama and Clemson National Champions, and many others. National Anthem & more great music today at 3:00 P.M.

The Russian Witch Hunt Hoax continues, all because Jeff Sessions didn’t tell me he was going to recuse himself…I would have quickly picked someone else. So much time and money wasted, so many lives ruined…and Sessions knew better than most that there was No Collusion!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 5, 2018
@ The News Blender for why Jeff Sessions recused himself.
@ The News Blender for the pressure Jeff Sessions is under to reverse that decision.
Meeting in Singapore with North Korea will hopefully be the start of something big…we will soon see!

For thoughts on the summit @ The News Blender
….@NASCAR and Champion @MartinTruex_Jr were recently at the White House. It was a great day for a great sport!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 5, 2018
NASCAR season is well on it’s way, Congrats to Truex Jr for being the 2017 Champion.
Separating families at the Border is the fault of bad legislation passed by the Democrats. Border Security laws should be changed but the Dems can’t get their act together! Started the Wall.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 5, 2018
NBC News points out there is no law separating families at the border, it’s policy, that DHS has had, if a parent at the border is jailed the children are taken to a separate location. Jeff Session’s announced in April, the policy would be a zero tolerance policy come illegally across our border, you’ll be detained.
NBC notes that in 2008 a law passed and signed into law by President Bush, deals with minors that illegally cross our border without a parent or guardian, “known as unaccompanied minors. That law calls for releasing children into the “least restrictive setting” — often to family or a government-run shelter — while their cases slowly wind through immigration court.”
