SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:55 P.M. ET: 

SISTER MAXINE SPEAKS – FROM INDEPENDENT JOURNAL REVIEW:  Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) derided President Donald Trump on Wednesday when she claimed that women nationwide didn't want to be alone with him.  Women “across the country,” Waters said, shared former FBI Director James Comey's request not to have private meetings with Trump.  Waters was referencing a recent report that Comey told Attorney General Jeff Sessions that private meetings with Trump were inappropriate and that he didn't want them to happen again. Comey confirmed that report in his prepared Congressional testimony, which was released on Wednesday.  I wonder how Maxine knows what women across the country are thinking.  Maybe she has supernatural powers, like all Democratic leaders.

MADNESS – FROM NEWSBUSTERS:   Former FBI Director James Comey has not said a single word in public, but the liberal media have been salivating for days over his upcoming testimony on Thursday. Case in point: from noon on Thursday (June 1) when the date for the testimony was set, until noon today (June 7), CNN has already devoted more than 10 hours of coverage to testimony that has yet to even occur. Their "Comey Countdown” logo first appeared at 3:01 AM on Monday – a full three days before the hearing was slated to start.  Think of it like the endless pre-game coverage of the Super Bowl. The massive anticipatory coverage is a not-so-subtle signal to the public that what’s about to happen is really, really, really important. And, instead of waiting to hear what Comey actually says in this hearing, airtime is spent on conjecture, speculation, and innuendo about the potential damage he might cause to the Trump administration.  On CNN Tonight on June 1, host Don Lemon suggested, “this is going to be the most watched thing – at least hearing – since Watergate.”   I can confirm the observation.  CNN has become unwatchable.  All credibility is gone.  Major stories aren't even covered.  It's all Trump impeachment all the time.  And most sources are unnamed.

ANCESTORS – FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL:  The bones of ancient hunters unearthed in Morocco are the oldest known specimens of the human species, potentially pushing back the clock on the origin of modern Homo sapiens, scientists announced Wednesday.  Found among stone tools and the ashes of ancient campfires, the remains date from about 300,000 years ago, a time when the Sahara was green and several early human species roamed the world, the scientists said. That makes them about 100,000 years older than any other fossils of Homo sapiens—the species to which all people today belong.  And because they didn't vote, Hillary lost the election.
