WASHINGTON — House Democrats laid out their impeachment case against President Donald Trump on Monday, a sweeping report accusing him of betraying the nation and deserving to be ousted, as key lawmakers began to signal where they stand ahead of this week’s landmark votes.
What Democrats once hoped would be a bipartisan act — only the third time in U.S. history the House will be voting to impeach a president — is now on track to be a starkly partisan roll call Wednesday. No Republicans are breaking with the president, and almost all Democrats are expected to approve the charges against him.
A raucous town hall Monday in the
The House Judiciary Committee’s final report accompanying its articles of impeachment misquotes President Donald Trump — again — talking about his powers under Article II of the Constitution.
(Snip)during the Judiciary Committee’s hearings earlier this month, Democrats repeatedly misquoted Trump as claiming that Article II of the Constitution entitles him to do “whatever I want” as president.
The context of Trump’s remark, which he has made several times, was clearly his power under Article II to hire and fire executive branch employees, specifically Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who was investigating so-called “Russia collusion.”
Yet Democrats — including Judiciary Committee counsel, and Democrat donor, Barry Berke — played deceptively-edited video of Trump
On Sunday, the New York Post published an interview with Harvey Weinstein—the first he has given in a year. Weinstein’s comments, given to the reporter Rebecca Rosenberg in a hospital room as he recovered from back surgery, received instant notoriety. They feature the former producer, whose trial for rape and predatory sexual assault is set to begin in January, suggesting that one of the victims who must be acknowledged in the #MeToo conversation he helped ignite is … Harvey Weinstein. He told Rosenberg: “I feel like the forgotten man.”
The myopia is as dull as it is familiar. What’s more striking about the interview,
This week’s Liberal Media Scream features celebrated New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman declaring that only impeaching President Trump will preserve the nation.
In a “Point-CounterPoint” segment on CBS’s Sunday Morning, Friedman declared: “President Trump not only should be impeached, he must be impeached, if we’re to preserve America as we’ve known it.” Responding to Eliana Johnson of the Washington Free Beacon, who argued against impeaching Trump, Friedman began his counterpoint: “President Trump not only should be impeached, he must be impeached, if we’re to preserve America as we’ve known it.
John and Charlotte Henderson will celebrate their eight-decade partnership just before Christmas, on December 22.The Texas couple are 106 and 105, and have spent the vast majority of the last century together. Their romantic epic began at a University of Texas zoology course in 1934, where John was seated behind his future partner. “I thought he was just a fine fella, and I didn’t mind his looking over my shoulder,” Charlotte told the Washington Post. After a five year engagement — “it took her five years to make up her mind that she wanted to get married,” John laughed — the young couple were wed

With the Democrat-led House all but certain to vote along party lines to impeach President Donald Trump, the focus shifts to the U.S. Senate, where a trial will be held and, continuing in the Democratic Party’s rich tradition of double standards, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is already questioning the fairness of such a trial.In what Schumer equates to fairness, he wants to call his choice of witnesses, even as he denies the opposition the same right, dismissing their choices as “extraneous” witnesses.It’s all enough to make the White House laugh, as seen in a tweet from press secretary Stephanie Grisham
A California town hall meeting attended by Adam Schiff descended into chaos after pro-Trump hecklers clashed with constituents after calling the congressman a 'liar over the president's impeachment. Schiff was at the event in Glendale, near Los Angeles, hosted by the Armenian National Committee of America on Saturday to discussing how recognizing the Armenian Genocide was a significant bipartisan issue. However, a number of people in the crowd began shouting at him a few minutes into his remarks and protesters held up signs reading 'Don't Impeach.'
United States Congress is getting ready to ban tobacco sales to anyone under the age of 21 as part of a year-end spending deal. In its never-ending habit of trying to regulate any aspect of American life it can get its mitts on, the United States Congress is now set to ban the sale of tobacco products to anyone under the age of 21. The legislation is part of a year-end spending deal and has bipartisan support, according to The Hill and other outlets.
Medicare-for-All’s Last Gasp
replies
For proponents of a single-payer health-care system, there were few arguments in its favor more compelling than the virtual ubiquity of state-funded health-insurance regimes across the industrialized world. Those advocates dismissed the idea that the unique conditions that prevail in the U.S. render such a system politically untenable, stressing the moral duty on Americans to expand insurance coverage over impediments like cost and feasibility. Those advocates have since received a real-world education in what Americans are prepared to accept from their health care system, and it’s not Medicare-for-all.
The greatest significance in last week’s decisive and seminal British election is the victory it contains for the solidarity of the English-speaking peoples and the strength, coherence, and legitimacy of what Europeans frequently refer to as the Anglo-Saxons.
Of course, broadly, the English-speaking advanced democracies have much in common with Western Europe, and to a slightly reduced degree with Eastern Europe and westernized nations in other regions, most conspicuously Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Israel, South Africa, the Emirates, and parts of Latin America.But the substantial detachment of the United Kingdom from an integrated Europe so it may retain the primacy of the political
The decision by the Supreme Court to review the lower court rulings involving congressional and prosecution subpoenas directed toward President Trump undercuts the second article of impeachment that passed the House Judiciary Committee along party lines last week.
That second article of impeachment charges President Trump with obstruction of Congress for refusing to comply with congressional subpoenas in the absence of a final court order. In so charging him, the House Judiciary Committee has arrogated to itself the power to decide the validity of its subpoenas, as well as the power to determine whether claims of executive privilege must be recognized, both powers that properly belong with the judicial branch
Remember back when Trump and the Russians won the 2016 US election? They won with the votes of the white working class in the Democratic Rust Belt, that used to be the industrial powerhouse of the U.S. Now Boris Johnson has won a “stonking” victory in the UK general election by winning the votes of traditional Labour working-class voters in the old northern industrial heartland. Okay, I’m fed up with this. These voters are not “working class” in the sense used for generations by lefties to promote the idea of a helpless mass of victims kept at starvation wages under the heel of evil capitalists.
Rudy Giuliani has taken a lot of flak from both parties, so let’s hope he is on solid ground here. Given the fact he used to be the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Rudy certainly knows a lot about evidence. He’s been tweeting, and last night went on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show for a 15 minute segment (entire segment is embedded at the bottom of this blog), with the key 3 ½ minutes here:
They came for your car, your light bulb, your dishwasher and washing machine, your toilet, your electricity, your airline flight and so much more. Now you can add your burger and steak to their list of what they want to legislate, regulate or confiscate out of your existence. YOUR existence. Not theirs. The global warming agenda is the gift that keeps on giving for everyone who wants to control what you do.
If press reports are to be believed, Congress later this week may repeal two Obamacare taxes—the “Cadillac tax” on high-cost health plans, and the medical device tax—as provisions included in a larger spending bill. Capitol Hill newspapers are now reporting that Democrats agreed to repeal two Obamacare industry taxes—the health insurer tax, which costs approximately $150 billion over a decade, along with the medical device tax—in exchange for repeal of the Cadillac tax, which labor unions want because of their cushy health insurance offerings.
A 22-year-old jihadist wannabe from Connecticut who said he wished the US would “burn in fire” has been arrested while making arrangements to travel to Turkey on a cargo ship to join ISIS, according to federal officials. Ahmad Khalil Elshazly was arrested Sunday on charges of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. Elshazly, a US citizen, last year made “numerous statements to others, both in person and through online messaging applications, expressing a desire to travel to Syria and the surrounding area to fight on behalf of ISIS,” according to a court filing.
As a result of the deadly volcanic eruption in New Zealand, Royal Caribbean International announced it had canceled all shore excursions to active volcanoes. (Snip) When the eruption on White Island in New Zealand occurred last week, 47 people were on the island, including many who arrived via the Ovation of the Seas cruise ship. There were nine Americans among those on an excursion when the volcanic activity occurred. In total, at least 15 tourists were killed and dozens more were injured. Two people remain missing despite continued efforts from search and rescue teams scouring the island. Following the tragedy
The Democrats are imploding

It’s too soon to predict that the Democrats will go the way of the Whigs, but the oldest political party in the world is tripping over its own doctrines, making a public spectacle of its inability to coherently sponsor debates, riven by ideological fissures that seem to be widening, driving away two bedrock constituencies, white working class and black voters, and hitching itself to a doomed impeachment effort that could cost it dearly next November.
It’s a great time to be alive if you are a Republican!
WASHINGTON – President Trump, the first modern president to face impeachment during his first term in the White House, now leads his top Democratic rivals in his bid for a second, a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds. The national survey, taken as the House of Representatives planned an impeachment vote and the Senate a trial, showed Trump defeating former vice president Joe Biden by three percentage points, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders by five points, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren by eight points. In hypothetical head-to-head contests, Trump also led South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg by 10 points and
Regardless of whether you would support or not support the vigorous defense of Michael Flynn, I would hope we would all agree a fulsome discovery of all relevant background material is a cornerstone of justice appropriately applied.
With that in mind it is concerning how Attorney General Bill Barr would prefer to keep DOJ conduct against Flynn hidden from public review. Consider…
Many on the left (as opposed to liberals) have been warring on Christmas for more than a generation. Leftists always deny there is a war on Christmas and mock those who claim there is.
There is a mind-blowing chutzpah or lack of self-awareness when people do something and yet deny that they are actually doing it. But the evidence is overwhelming. The left has stopped schools from calling Christmas vacations by that name -- the name schools called them throughout American history until the last couple of decades. Almost every non-Christian school in America now calls Christmas vacation "winter break."
Joe Biden, who is 77 years old now, made it clear the other day he has no plans to serve only four years if elected president. “I don’t have plans on one term,” said Biden, who would be 82 at the end of it. Note the politician’s careful phrasing: “no plans.” Thoughts, perhaps. But no plans. [Snip]
Biden is like an old shoe, scuffed but comfortable on the mind, unlike the

Big Tech has changed the way we live, and no tech company has been more invasive about it than Google.
From listening to our conversations to tracking our movements to accessing our health data, Google is rapidly becoming omnipotent. As former Google CEO Eric Schmidt said, “We don’t need you to type at all. We know where you are. We know where you’ve been.
You just can’t make these things up. The new enemy within for the Democratic Party’s radicalized base, worthy of all the venom it can muster, isn’t House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her caution on giving the green light to impeach President Donald Trump. It isn’t Joe Biden for attacking Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders as so far left they’re unelectable. It isn’t even Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, who’s announced he will vote against impeaching Trump and will probably switch parties – spurring six of his staff members to quit.
Instead, the populist left’s heavy artillery is now aimed at, of all people, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete
