ALAN KEYES — "Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general who was confirmed by a 96 to 4 vote in the Senate on April 25, wrote the letter recommending that Comey should be fired: 'The Director was wrong to usurp the Attorney General's authority on July 5, 2016, and announce his conclusion that the case should be closed without prosecution. It is not the function of the Director to make such an announcement,' wrote Rosenstein."... (more)

DAVID KUPELIAN — It's not that unusual for an Islamic society. After all, the usual features are all on display -- the Muslim call to prayer, the teaching of Islam in the nation's schools to the exclusion of other religions, preferential treatment afforded Muslims by government and the courts, news coverage reflexively portraying Islam in a positive light, the rapid growth in mosque construction -- and also the disturbing cultural phenomena of female genital mutilation, "honor killings" and so on....

NEW YORK POST — Let's cut right to the chase: James Comey should have been fired immediately following his disastrous press briefing last July, in which he candidly laid out the case against Hillary Clinton over her mishandling of classified information and then refused to recommend charges....

THE HILL — Speaking to a friendly crowd at the country's largest Christian university on Saturday, President Trump told the graduating class that "in America, we don't worship government, we worship God."

JONAH GOLDBERG — The last weekend of April delivered one of the more enjoyable spectacles of 2017. It wasn't Donald Trump's tent-revival rally in Pennsylvania. Nor was it the cotillion of self-congratulation known as the White House Correspondents' Dinner. It wasn't even the People's Climate March, which begged for some Monty Pythonesque splinter factions -- the March for People's Climate, Climate Marchers for People, whatever.... (more)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER — It's official: Donald Trump really is the president. The proof: boxes of presidential M&Ms with his signature were handed out for the first time Saturday to those on Air Force One. The Examiner's Al Weaver was the pool reporter for the president's trip to Lynchburg, Va., and he wrote: "M&M boxes were handed out featuring POTUS's signature for what some poolers believe is the first time."...

CLIFF KINCAID — As noted by Peter LaBarbera of Lifesitenews.com, LGBT activists were bitter and outraged that a conservative Christian with a public policy record of opposing the LGBTQ agenda was chosen to succeed a homosexual for the job of secretary of the Army. That is why a dishonest attack on Dr. Mark Green, a West Point grad and decorated U.S. Army flight surgeon, was launched weeks ago by the Huffington Post, as well as other media and gay rights organizations....

JOAN SWIRSKY — I always thought that James Comey was a company man. As it happens, the company he heads is among the most influential, powerful, and scary companies in the world -- the Federal Bureau of Investigation. But still, a company guy. Whether working for a president on the moderate-to-conservative spectrum like G.W. Bush or for a far-left Alinsky acolyte like Barack Obama makes absolutely no difference to this type of obedient -- and also subservient -- accommodator.... (more)

PUBLIUS HULDAH — What's the real problem with our federal government? That people in Congress serve too many terms? And if we get an Amendment to limit their terms, will our Land be healed? Of course not! The real problem is that the politicians we elect ignore our Constitution -- yet we keep reelecting them.... (more)

ASSOCIATED PRESS — Dozens of countries were hit with a huge cyberextortion attack Friday that locked up computers and held users' files for ransom at a multitude of hospitals, companies and government agencies.

THE INTERCEPT — IN MID-APRIL, an arsenal of powerful software tools apparently designed by the NSA to infect and control Windows computers was leaked by an entity known only as the "Shadow Brokers."

CHARLES HURT — Every time the Washington political press freaks out and goes into full panic mode against President Trump, the blockbuster, Watergate-volume story always unfolds the same way. First the news starts leaking or breaking. Newsrooms from the Potomac to the Hudson become seized and fixated on every morsel of the delicious story. News flashes zing around the internet....

WASHINGTON EXAMINER — Many in the news media have already indicted President Trump for breaking some unspecified law by firing former FBI Director James Comey, which they theorize is an attempt to cover up his ties to Russia.
