WASHINGTON TIMES — The FBI's own guidelines restrict the deployment of informants to spy on Americans, such as the bureau's decision to plant a human source among Donald Trump's presidential campaign aides. The cautionary regulation is contained in the FBI's nearly 700-page Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide. The restrictions are prompting national security analysts to say the FBI should have heeded its own rulebook, which encourages alternatives to human spies in any investigation, much less one into a presidential political campaign....

ANDREW C. MCCARTHY — Well, well, well. The bipartisan Beltway establishment has apparently had its fill of this "Trump colluded with Russia" narrative -- the same narrative the same establishment has lustily peddled for nearly two years. The Obama administration recklessly chose to deploy the government's awesome counterintelligence powers to investigate -- and, more to the point, to smear -- its political opposition as a Kremlin confederate. Now that this ploy has blown up on the Justice Department and the FBI, these agencies -- the ones that went out of their way, and outside their guidelines, to announce to the world that the Trump campaign was under investigation -- want you to know the president and his campaign were not investigated at all, no siree....

WASHINGTON EXAMINER — I'd like to think that if it weren't for Roseanne Barr's remark about Valerie Jarrett looking like a Muslim monkey-human hybrid that we would have spent much of this week still laughing in a resigned way about how liberals and reporters shared Obama-era photos of illegal immigrant children sleeping in cages, having wrongfully thought that they were new images of President Trump's immigration policies at work....

WASHINGTON EXAMINER — It did not come as a surprise to see that the Republic of Ireland voted to repeal their relatively strict abortion ban. What was disturbing was the large margin by which the vote passed and the zealous celebration that followed. On social media and in the news, Irish citizens celebrated the vote that legalized abortion with the kind of pure joy usually seen in victorious sporting events or at concerts -- not the approval of murdering babies in utero....

Alan Keyes diagnoses leaders' 'arrogant disdain' for the authority of the Constitution

ALAN KEYES — I fear that many people who profess to be staunch supporters of the U.S. Constitution belie that claim in the way they speak and act. In ordaining and establishing the Constitution of the United States, the people of the United States exercised the chief power of their sovereignty over themselves. The provision that declares the Constitution, and all laws and treaties made in pursuance thereof, to be the Supreme Law of the land confirms this fact.... (more)

ZEROHEDGE — A photograph of two migrant children sleeping in a cage at an ICE detention facility quickly went viral on Sunday after several prominent liberals tweeted it in a white-hot rage at President Trump's immigration policy. After a laundry list of journalists and public figures angrily tweeted the photo – including CNN's Hadas Gold, NYT Mag's editor-in-chief Jake Silverstein, Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau and former LA mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, they deleted their tweets in shame when it emerged that the photo was taken in 2014, under Obama.
