You’re Fired: The FBI has fired longtime agent Peter Strzok for his string of anti-Trump text messages to a fellow employee with whom he was having an affair during the 2016 campaign. Strzok has been a frequent target of Trump tweets claiming there was an FBI/Democrat conspiracy to defeat him.

Trump celebrated Strzok’s firing with a tweet saying, “Based on the fact that Strzok was in charge of the Witch Hunt, will it be dropped? It is a total Hoax. No Collusion, No Obstruction – I just fight back!”

In firing Strzok, the FBI overruled the agency’s Office of Professional Responsibility, which had determined that a 60-day suspension and demotion from supervisory duties was “the appropriate punishment.”

Strzok’s lawyer, Aitan Goelman, said the 21-year veteran of the FBI was fired because of political pressure and “to punish Special Agent Strzok for political speech protected by the First Amendment.”

Still Fired: Trump also spent part of his day attacking his fired aide Omarosa, who’s made headlines hawking her new book, “Unhinged.” The President posted some tweets that are — well — unhinged.

He said, “Wacky Omarosa, who got fired 3 times on the Apprentice, now got fired for the last time. She never made it, never will. She begged me for a job, tears in her eyes, I said Ok. People in the White House hated her. She was vicious, but not smart.”

He appears to have accidentally leaked that Omarosa signed a nondisclosure agreement when she went to work at the White House which, obviously, she has ignored. Trump commonly used them in private business, but the legality of such agreements for public employees is pretty shaky.

From cabinet members to White House aides, Trump promised to hire nothing but the best people. When they resign or get fired, it turns out they were just marginal characters he barely knew. A NY Times editorial says, “Mr. Trump’s claim that he has a keen eye for talent, like so many of his other promises, turned out to be a mix of alternative facts and hot air.”

Stand Your Ground: In a test of the state’s “Stand Your Ground,” law, Florida prosecutors have charged a man in a killing that stemmed from a parking dispute. The local sheriff had refused to make an arrest, citing the state’s law about defensive use of a gun.

Michael Drejka, 48, faces one count of manslaughter with a firearm in the killing of Markeis McGlockton, 28. Drejka had argued with McGlockton’s girlfriend as she sat in a car with two small children parked in a handicapped space outside a store. McGlockton came out of the store and shoved Drejka to the ground. Drejka drew a pistol and, as McGlockton took four steps backwards, Drejka shot and killed him.

Local prosecutor Bernie McCabe said, “I would think people looking at that tape would consider that important.”

London Calling: In London, a car struck and injured several pedestrians and cyclists before crashing into a security barrier just outside the Houses of Parliament. Police say they are treating it as a terrorist attack. The driver, in his late 20s, was arrested.

Saab Story: Dozens of cars were set on fire in Sweden overnight in separate cities in what police say may be a coordinated act.

Up to 80 vehicles were badly damaged by gangs of young people dressed in black. Most of the damage took place in the western city of Gothenburg, but incidents were also reported in cities up to 60 miles away.

Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said, “It looks like very coordinated, almost like a military operation.”

An American Story: Stephen Miller is the Trump aide known as the architect of the President’s anti-immigration policy and he is the target of an essay in Politico denouncing his immigration hypocrisy — written by his own uncle.

Dr. Stephen Glosser outlines how the family fled anti-Jewish pogroms and the czar to settle and struggle upwards in America. Glosser writes,  “In the span of some 80 years and five decades, this family emerged from poverty in a hostile country to become a prosperous, educated clan of merchants, scholars, professionals, and, most important, American citizens.”

Glosser points out that both Miller and the President are the product of the “chain migration” the President wants to end and that both spew the kind of anti-immigrant rhetoric that has confronted every wave of immigration.

Glosser says, “Trump and my nephew both know their immigrant and refugee roots. Yet, they repeat the insults and false accusations of earlier generations against these refugees to make them seem less than human. Trump publicly parades the grieving families of people hurt or killed by migrants, just as the early Nazis dredged up Jewish criminals to frighten and enrage their political base to justify persecution of all Jews.”

He concludes about Miller, “I have watched with dismay and increasing horror as my nephew, who is an educated man and well aware of his heritage, has become the architect of immigration policies that repudiate the very foundation of our family’s life in this country.”

The New Coke: Omarosa may have some things on tape, but other postulations in her book leave her exposed. She claims that president Trump is deteriorating and suffering dementia because he drinks too much Diet Coke. “I researched it,” she writes, “and found a brand-new study by a team of neurologists from Boston University that linked Diet Coke consumption with dementia and increased risk of stroke. Dementia. Not being able to remember anything, confusion, loss of vocabulary and ability to process information.”

We don’t know about dementia, but the “diet” part of Diet Coke isn’t working for the President.
