Trump Slams 'Dumb & Disloyal' Amash As Congressman Quits Republican Party
President Trump has apparently taken a quick break from preparing for today's festivities to take one last swing at Amash on his way out the door. In a tweet, Trump called him "the dumbest & most disloyal [man] in Congress". Trump insisted Amash "knew he couldn't get the nomination to run again in the Great State of Michigan" - something that we mentioned earlier as a possible motivating factor for Amash's decision to quit the Republican Party.
By adding the quotes around quitting, Trump also suggests - as we did earlier - that Amash was effectively pushed out over his impeachment comments.
Great news for the Republican Party as one of the dumbest & most disloyal men in Congress is “quitting” the Party. No Collusion, No Obstruction! Knew he couldn’t get the nomination to run again in the Great State of Michigan. Already being challenged for his seat. A total loser!

Just another example of the Amash refusing to adapt to modern times. https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1146723313399619584 …

“The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty."
"It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another."
Finally, the Congressman started the column by recounting his father's journey to the US as a Palestinian refugee.
It's already suspicious that Amash & WaPo decided to publish this op-ed on the Fourth of July, when it would almost certainly get drowned out by coverage of a hot-dog eating contest in Coney Island and, of course, President Trump's 'Inauguration 2.0' Washington rally, which the president says will feature tanks and - more controversially - 'advanced aircraft' (note: DoD officials have insisted that aircraft not be used).
People are coming from far and wide to join us today and tonight for what is turning out to be one of the biggest celebrations in the history of our Country, SALUTE TO AMERICA, an all day event at the Lincoln Memorial, culminating with large scale flyovers of the most modern.....

....and advanced aircraft anywhere in the World. Perhaps even Air Force One will do a low & loud sprint over the crowd. That will start at 6:00P.M., but be there early. Then, at 9:00 P.M., a great (to put it mildly) fireworks display. I will speak on behalf of our great Country!

So much so, that we're inclined to believe that the timing was deliberate - that he released it on a day when everybody else is distracted, hoping that it would get lost in the never-ending accumulation of political headlines. Is the Washington Post widely read in Amash's Republican-leaning district in Michigan? We very much doubt it.
Amash's decision to quit the party will almost certainly cost him his ...
Happy Independence Day! Let's KEEP America Great!
Our Ancestors Fought With Guns To End Tyranny. This Is Why Owning Guns Is In Our Constitution As An Inalienable Right.
Independence Day
On July 4, 1776, the 13 colonies claimed their independence from England, an event which eventually led to the formation of the United States.
Each year on the fourth of July, also known as Independence Day, Americans celebrate this historic event.
The Declaration of Independence
Conflict between the colonies and England was already a year old when the colonies convened a Continental Congress in Philadelphia in the summer of 1776.
In a June 7 session in the Pennsylvania State House (later Independence Hall), Richard Henry Lee of Virginia presented a resolution with the famous words: "Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved."
Lee's words were the impetus for the drafting of a formal Declaration of Independence, although the resolution was not followed up on immediately.
A committee of five was appointed to draft the declaration, and the task itself fell on Thomas Jefferson of Virginia. Discussions of Jefferson's Declaration of Independence resulted in some minor changes, but the spirit of the document went unchanged.
The process of revision by the Continental Congress began July 1, then continued through all of July 3 and into the late afternoon of July 4, when the Declaration was officially adopted. Of the 13 colonies, nine voted in favor of the Declaration, two -- Pennsylvania and South Carolina -- voted No, Delaware was undecided and New York abstained.
John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress, signed the Declaration of Independence. It is said that John Hancock's signed his name "with a great flourish" so England's "King George can read that without spectacles!"
Today, the original copy of the Declaration is housed in the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and the fourth of July has been designated a national holiday to commemorate the day the United States laid down its claim to be a free and independent nation.

Dershowitz: Trump admin needs to step up against rising Left-wing violence
Noted constitutional law professor Alan Dershowitz said Tuesday that the Trump administration needs to step up enforcement actions against a rising tide of Left-wing violence following another incident in Portland, Ore. last weekend involving right-leaning journalist Andy Ngo.
The Quillette writer was attacked, robbed, and savagely beaten by several members of Antifa as he attempted to cover their demonstration, winding up in the hospital overnight with a brain bleed. Portland Police also confirmed that he had been struck with milkshakes containing quick-dry cement, which could have caused chemical burns.
During an interview with Dan Bongino on Fox News, Dershowitz, a Harvard professor emeritus, also noted that the so-called “mainstream media” ignored the attack because Ngo is a supporter of POTUS Donald Trump.
“When I’ve spoken at schools like Berkeley, I’ve been threatened by Antifa,” Dershowitz noted. “I really do think the government has to do something to stop extreme Left-wing threats and violence.
“To centrist, moderate, liberal speakers like me, I’m not radical enough for Antifa, so they try to prevent me from speaking,” he continued. “So that’s been a real problem on university campuses.”
But he added: “Look, we live in a federal system. And the federal system gives authority to cities to make their own mistakes and their own decisions. The president really can’t intrude on that except in...
