Mike DeBonis / Washington Post:
Top human rights post goes vacant as Trump nominee confronts links to post-9/11 torture program
— President Trump's decision to nominate an official involved in the
Pentagon's post-9/11 use of harsh interrogation techniques to the State
Department's top human rights post has sparked a standoff . . .
First, only three Muslim killers were waterboarded, all with doctors in the room; none died or had serious side affects, AND we needed to know what they knew IMMEDIATELY, or, have the Dems forgotten that these killers murdered 3,000 in the Twin Towers horror? Maybe they just don't care that much about their deaths or what the Muslim hords were planning next.
We forget that GW Bush won the war in Afghanistan in 8 months (only 80 Taliban survived that first invasion), and won the war in Iraq in less than 5 years with the fewest casualties of any long term war in American history while killing thousands of "them."
In this case, killing the enemy and saving America from further harm was the compassionate thing to do . . . . . . . . . . period.
Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.
Barack's presidential failings have caught up with him and his activist bride. Turns out, the two were all about becoming multi-millionaires while he was kissing the backside of the insurance industry as he pretended to reform healthcare.
Hard to think of a bigger disappointment than Obama. He was elected by the largest grassroots movement in history on a promise of change, abandoned all that while in office, and cashed in after 8 years, leaving 40% of America struggling to afford basics. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/obama-bernie-sanders-2020-nomination_n_5ddd31a1e4b00149f724793b …
A perfect example of just how far removed Warren is from the historical records involving America's foundations:
Upon being endorced by a small black transgendererd organization, Warren tweeted this bit of nonsense:
“Black trans and cis women, gender-nonconforming, and nonbinary people are the backbone of our democracy…,”
tweeted November 7th.
“Black trans and cis women, gender-nonconforming, and nonbinary people are the backbone of our democracy…,”
tweeted November 7th.
An example of just how humorless the Left Wing is: (add this example to Trump's asking the Russians to help in finding Hillary's "lost" 33,000 emails.)
Engaging
in demagoguery during a 1990s budget battle, the Democrats claimed the
elderly would have to eat dog food to afford medicine if the GOP
prevailed. Radio host Rush Limbaugh then spoofed this in a GOPAC
speech, claiming he’d bought his mother a new can opener so “she can get the dog food easier when she has to eat it.”
Taking this seriously, liberal congresswoman Patsy Schroeder (D-Colo.) appeared on the House floor the next day and emotionally exclaimed that “this is what it’s come to! …Rush Limbaugh actually said he's going to buy his mother a can opener so she can have dog food. Wow!”
BTW, the GOP won and dog food sales went down ~ editor.

If "freedom of speech" does not include all speech, then the exception will become the rule by such people as Angela Merkel.
Angela Merkel: For those who claim they can no longer
express their opinion, I say this to them: If you express and pronounced
opinion, you must live with the fact that you will be contradicted.
Expressing an opinion does not come at zero cost. But freedom of
expression has its limits. Those limits begin where hatred is spread.
They begin where the dignity of other people is violated. This house
will and must oppose extreme speech. Otherwise our society will no
longer be the
free society that it was.
Thanksgiving, the Story, with Rush Limbaugh
“The story of the Pilgrims begins in the early part of the
seventeenth century (that’s the 1600s for those of you in Rio Linda,
California). The Church of England under King James I was persecuting
anyone and everyone who did not recognize its absolute civil and
spiritual authority.” The first Pilgrims were Christian rebels, folks.
“Those who challenged [King James’] ecclesiastical authority and those
who believed strongly in freedom of worship were hunted down,
imprisoned, and sometimes executed for their beliefs” in England in the
1600s.
“A group of separatists,” Christians who didn’t want to buy into the Church of England or live under the rule of King James, “first fled to Holland and established a community” of themselves there. “After eleven years, about forty of them” having heard about this New World Christopher Columbus had discovered, decided to go. Forty of them “agreed to make a perilous journey to the New World, where [they knew] they would certainly face hardships, but” the reason they did it was so they “could live and worship God according to the dictates of their own consciences” and beliefs.
“On August 1, 1620, the Mayflower set sail. It carried a total of 102 passengers, including forty Pilgrims,” now known as Pilgrims, “led by William Bradford. On the journey, Bradford set up an agreement, a contract, that established” how they would live once they got there. The contract set forth “just and equal laws for all members of the new community, irrespective of their religious beliefs,” or political beliefs. “Where did the revolutionary ideas expressed in the Mayflower Compact come from? From the Bible.
The Pilgrims were a “devoutly religious people completely steeped in the lessons of the Old and New Testaments. They looked to the ancient Israelites for their example. And, because of the biblical precedents set forth in Scripture, they never doubted that their experiment would work.” They believed in God. They believed they were in the hands of God. As you know, “this was no pleasure cruise, friends. The journey” to the New World on the tiny, by today’s standards, sailing ship. It was long, it was arduous.
There was sickness, there was seasickness, it was wet. It was the opposite of anything you think of today as a cruise today on the open ocean. When they “landed in New England in November, they found, according to Bradford’s detailed journal, a cold, barren, desolate wilderness. There were no friends to greet them, he wrote. There were no houses to shelter them. There were no inns where they could refresh themselves.” There was nothing.
“[T]he sacrifice they had made for freedom was just beginning. During the first winter, half the Pilgrims — including Bradford’s own wife — died of either starvation, sickness or exposure.” They endured that first winter. “When spring finally came,” they had, by that time, met the indigenous people, the Indians, and indeed the “Indians taught the settlers how to plant corn, fish for cod and skin beavers” and other animals “for coats.” But there wasn’t any prosperity. “[T]hey did not yet prosper!” They were still dependent. They were still confused. They were still in a new place, essentially alone among likeminded people.
“This is important to understand because this is where modern American history lessons often end. Thanksgiving is actually explained in some textbooks as a holiday for which the Pilgrims gave thanks to the Indians for saving their lives, rather than what it really was. That happened, don’t misunderstand. That all happened, but that’s not — according to William Bradford’s journal — what they ultimately gave thanks for. “Here is the part that has been omitted: The original contract” that they made on the Mayflower as they were traveling to the New World…
They actually had to enter into that contract “with their merchant-sponsors in London,” because they had no money on their own. The needed sponsor. They found merchants in London to sponsor them. The merchants in London were making an investment, and as such, the Pilgrims agreed that “everything they produced to go into a common store,” or bank, common account, “and each member of the community was entitled to one common share” in this bank. Out of this, the merchants would be repaid until they were paid off.
“All of the land they cleared and the houses they built belong to the community as well.” Everything belonged to everybody and everybody had one share in it. They were going to distribute it equally.” That was considered to be the epitome of fairness, sharing the hardship burdens and everything like that. “Nobody owned anything. It was a commune, folks. It was the forerunner to the communes we saw in the ’60s and ’70s out in California,” and other parts of the country, “and it was complete with organic vegetables, by the way.
“Bradford, who had become the new governor of the colony, recognized that” it wasn’t working. It “was as costly and destructive…” His own journals chronicle the reasons it didn’t work. “Bradford assigned a plot of land” to fix this “to each family to work and manage,” as their own. He got rid of the whole commune structure and “assigned a plot of land to each family to work and manage,” and whatever they made, however much they made, was theirs. They could sell it, they could share it, they could keep it, whatever they wanted to do.
What really happened is they “turned loose” the power of a free market after enduring months and months of hardship — first on the Mayflower and then getting settled and then the failure of the common account from which everybody got the same share. There was no incentive for anybody to do anything. And as is human nature, some of the Pilgrims were a bunch of lazy twerps, and others busted their rear ends. But it didn’t matter because even the people that weren’t very industrious got the same as everyone else. Bradford wrote about how this just wasn’t working.
“What Bradford and his community found,” and I’m going to use basically his own words, “was that the most creative and industrious people had no incentive to work any harder than anyone else… [W]hile most of the rest of the world has been experimenting with socialism for well over a hundred years — trying to refine it, perfect it, and re-invent it — the Pilgrims decided early on,” William Bradford decided, “to scrap it permanently,” because it brought out the worst in human nature, it emphasized laziness, it created resentment.
Because in every group of people you’ve got your self-starters you’ve got your hard workers and your industrious people, and you’ve got your lazy twerps and so forth, and there was no difference at the end of the day. The resentment sprang up on both sides. So Bradford wrote about this. “‘For this community [so far as it was] was found to breed much confusion and discontent, and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort.
“For young men that were most able and fit for labor and service did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men’s wives and children without any recompense,'” without any payment, “‘that was thought injustice.’ Why should you work for other people when you can’t work for yourself? What’s the point? … The Pilgrims found that people could not be expected to do their best work without incentive.
“So what did Bradford’s community try next? They unharnessed the power of good old free enterprise by invoking the undergirding capitalistic principle of private property. Every family was assigned its own plot of land to work and permitted to market its own crops and products. And what was the result? ‘This had very good success,’ wrote Bradford, ‘for it made all hands [everybody] industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been.’ …
“Is it possible that supply-side economics could have existed before the 1980s. … In no time, the Pilgrims found they had more food than they could eat themselves. Now, this is where it gets really good, folks, if you’re laboring under the misconception that I was, as I was taught in school. So they set up trading posts and exchanged goods with the Indians. The profits allowed them to pay off their debts to the merchants in London.
“And the success and prosperity of the Plymouth settlement attracted more Europeans and began what came to be known as the ‘Great Puritan Migration.'” The word of the success of the free enterprise Plymouth Colony spread like wildfire and that began the great migration. Everybody wanted a part of it. There was no mass slaughtering of the Indians. There was no wiping out of the indigenous people, and eventually — in William Bradford’s own journal — unleashing the industriousness of all hands ended up producing more than they could ever need themselves.
So trading post began selling and exchanging things with the Indians — and the Indians, by the way, were very helpful. Puritan kids had relationships with the children of the Native Americans that they found. This killing the indigenous people stuff, they’re talking about much, much, much, much later. It has nothing to do with the first thanksgiving.
The first Thanksgiving was William Bradford and Plymouth Colony thanking God for their blessings. That’s the first Thanksgiving. Nothing wrong with being grateful to the Indians; don’t misunderstand. But the true meaning of Thanksgiving — and this is what George Washington recognized in his first Thanksgiving proclamation.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” Rep. Steve
Cohen (D-TN) said House Democrats could impeach President Donald Trump
again.
Cohen said, “Well, I think things will come out. Things will come out for as long as he’s president and after he’s president. We will continue to pursue those issues, and we can still have hearings in Intel in Judiciary on actions he took that are violative of the Constitution, that are violative of law that affects our national security. All of those things can still be subject for hearings and possible— if there is something that comes out that’s impeachable, that doesn’t mean you can’t have another impeachment. There’s no rule that you win once and olly olly in-free.”

New York Times:
They Voted Democratic. Now They Support Trump.
— Two-thirds of battleground state voters who chose Trump in 2016 but
selected Democrats in the midterms say they will return to the president
next year. — Midterm victories in Pennsylvania, Michigan and
Wisconsin gave Democrats hope …
File this under "So What." Maybe you find this interesting, but it certainly is not impeachable !!
NY Times: Lawyers from the White House counsel’s
office told Mr. Trump in late August about the complaint, explaining
that they were trying to determine whether they were legally required to
give it to Congress, the people said.
The revelation could shed light on Mr. Trump’s thinking at two critical points under scrutiny by impeachment investigators: his decision in early September to release $391 million
in security assistance to Ukraine and his denial to a key ambassador
around the same time that there was a “quid pro quo” with Kyiv. Mr.
Trump used the phrase before it had entered the public lexicon in the
Ukraine affair.
It comes down to a battle of ideas: Faith in the biblical record and what the Bible teaches versus a humanistic collection of ideas that rejects any conclusion pushing a "cdonservative" God.
The Democratic Cold War on Christianity Heating Up

Democrats can no longer hide their
contempt and hatred towards those who “cling to religion” and believe
that the Bible is God’s word and means what it says.
Understand that if this nation does not allow for matters of faith as a practice, we are no longer free and the Democrats whining for a "return to traditional values" is a pretense that hides an immoral/godless agenda, one that cannot withstand the test of time ~ editor.

Discouraging if you are a warming alarmist
- China, the world’s largest carbon emitter, increased the electricity generated by burning coal last year and is working to bring a large number of additional coal plants online, according to a new report.
- “An increase in China’s coal power capacity is not compatible with the Paris Climate Agreement to hold warming well below 2 °C,” wrote the report’s authors.
- At the same time, global investment in renewable energy fell.
I don't know if the reader gets the Paris goal, but the 160 plus nations involved are committed to reducing future warming projections to a number that equals the projected high minus 2 degrees celcius . . . . . 100 years from now.

Amid the impeachment hearings, the Trump administration has flipped the majorities of two appeals courts to Republican-appointed judges, meaning GOP appointees now outnumber Democrats on most of the nation's circuit courts. That success has prompted conservative leaders to take victory laps in recent weeks.

celebrate even as the White House is embroiled in an impeachment inquiry that’s dominating Washington.
And since federal judges have lifetime appointments, the volume of Trump’s nominees means more judges are poised to carry on his legacy for decades after he leaves office.
“From his perspective, and the perspective of the right, it's the most successful aspect of this administration,” said Daniel Epps, a legal professor at the Washington University School of Law.
“And they've been very aggressive about identifying candidates who are young and who are very ideologically conservative,”

The Supreme Court on Monday granted President Trump’s
request to temporarily stay a subpoena for his financial records from

whether to take up his appeal in the case.
Trump filed an emergency request on Nov. 15 to the Supreme Court asking the justices to block a subpoena from House Democrats after a lower court said his accounting firm must turn over his financial documents.

Napolitano goes off script and we can prove it:
“Here’s what I think the Democrats will want, Nick. Here’s what I think they will advance. One is bribery. The technical definition of bribery is the failure to perform an official duty until a thing of value comes your way, and they will argue that the president’s failure to disperse [sic] funds that the Congress ordered be dispersed [sic] until the recipient of the funds agreed to investigate a potential political opponent is an act of bribery.
Here is the problem with Napolitano's conclusion at this point in the discussion: While Congress allocates federal funds, it is the President who disperses fund. He is part of the process, something the Judge apparently does not want you to know. Secondly, there was never a statement promising to investigate anything. More than this fact, Trump gave the funds and lethal military aid without a quid . . . which makes the Judge's statement less than "well informed." In fact, in the absense of a criminal withholding of federal funds, Napolitano's comments are just plain silly at best, or insanely bias at worse.
That is enough, in my opinion, to make it over the threshold of impeachable offenses. I don’t think it’s enough to convict of bribery, but it’s enough to allege it for the purpose of impeachment.
More nonsense. If it is not evidence for a conviction, it is not enough to establish an impeachable offense.
The second charge will be high crimes and misdemeanors -- election law violation.
Using campaign funds to pay off potential witnesses is "election law violation(s)." But no one has referenced this charge.
The third crime will be obstruction of justice.
Refusing to obey a court order or a legal rep of the court (FBI or someone in the DOJ) is the defintion of "obstruction." Again, that has not occurred. Understand that the President has been the subject of four investigations (FBI, a Senate and House committee investigations, and, the Mueller investiagtion), all of which he fully complied with each of the four investigations.
The fourth will be interference with the witness, and the fifth, maybe, lying under oath.”
Finally, the President's claim of "executive privilege" is not "interference with the witness," and, to date, the President has not lied to anyone to a legal certainty.
California send convict to ICE for deportation !!!!
The State of California honored an immigration detainer placed on a previously deported violent Mexican national. The criminal alien returned to the U.S. after being deported in 1999 and received a conviction for voluntary manslaughter in 2003.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers lodged an immigration detainer on 44-year-old Luis Gonzalez-Valencia, a Mexican national and confirmed gang member. California authorities honored the detainer and turned the prisoner over to ERO officers at the Calipatria State Prison. ERO officers verified the criminal alien’s identity and placed him in custody for removal proceedings.“We are grateful for the cooperation of the California State Department of Corrections honoring the lodged detainer for this violent felon; however, ICE continues to be challenged by California’s protection of the criminal alien populations within their correctional system, San Diego Deputy Field Office Director Jamison Matuszewski said in a written statement. “These challenges are further enhanced when California’s legislative body devalues criminal convictions specifically inhibiting federal immigration entities from using those convictions for removal or federal prosecution.”

Hong Kong elections: pro-democracy camp wins 17 out of 18 districts .
The
anti-establishment reverberations from almost six months of street
protests swept through polling stations across Hong Kong on Sunday, as
voters in record numbers roundly rejected pro-Beijing candidates in
favour of pan-democrats.
The
tsunami of disaffection among voters was clear across the board, as
pan-democrats rode the wave to win big in poor and rich neighbourhoods,
in both protest-prone and non-protest-afflicted districts and, in
downtown areas as well as the suburbs. (scmp.com)

Trump's Impeachment Strategy
Question: Obviously Schiff and the Impeachment Democrats do not want anyone to talk to the so-called whistleblower. It is obvious that the Blower is not protected from being required to give testimony, I mean, he had to fill out and sign a complaint form . . . why not give testimony. No one wants to do this man harm. Besides, we all know who this man is (click on the lable below, "whistleblower").
Adam Schiff is a fact witness because he not only knows the whistleblower but has had talks (counsel) with the man. Trump has every right to depose Schiff AND the whistleblower AND cross examine the two men.
Finally, Trump has every right to cross examinie those who witnessed against him during the impeachment hearing as well as depose his own witnesses.
The Dems want none of this.
Personally, I believe there is high probability that an impeachment recommendation will not be sent to the Senate. precisely because of Trump's strategy and the fact that the Dems have not proven their case for impeachment and removal.

So, who is truly classless Joe, you and your dead beat son or the socalled Palin/Bristol scandal ?
Outlets That Ripped Apart Bristol Palin's 2008 Teen Pregnancy Gloss Over Hunter Biden's Alleged New Kid
A DNA test confirmed that former Vice President Joe Biden’s son fathered a baby with 28-year-old Lunden Alexis Roberts, a Wednesday court filing said. She filed a petition for paternity and support for the baby in May, and Hunter Biden asked the allegations be dismissed and denied being the father in August.Hunter Biden reportedly fathered the baby while in a relationship with his dead brother’s widow, Hallie Biden, according to Business Insider. That relationship ended in April, and Hunter Biden married Melissa Cohen in May. Moderators did not ask the
Understand that Bristol made a mistake. Hunter deliberately worked to avoid his obligations for the his new-born son. Of Course he knew he is the father, so whatever happened in his court pleading, was and is a lie.
Payback is a bitch, right Joe? Like Barack has said, "Winning an election is the best revenge."
You might argue that the press led the attack against Palin, not Joe. I would counter that Biden did nothing to counter the media's unfair attacks, and silently approved of them. After all, the modern Democrat Party invented the art of dirty politics. They hate Trump because he does it better than they.
Just to be clear: The President cannot "meddle" in any military business.
Just to be clear: The President cannot "meddle" in any military business, after all, he is the undisputed boss. These commanders need to be court-martialed.

Gutfeld's commentary on the Impeachment Hearings Tuesday. During a break, FoxNews went to Gutfeld for comment instead of Chris Wallace. You would be pround.
“This is not a hearing. It is a human resources meeting.”
Gutfeld went on to explain the similarities between the “tug-of-war” that occurs in the business world when a new boss takes over and what is taking place between President Donald Trump and career diplomats.
“This is not impeachment,” he said. “This is what happens in the office. The irony is the people who work for a living aren’t here to watch this, to laugh at this. The media thinks this is important, because they’ve never been in a workplace situation. They’ve never managed anything. They’ve never been an incoming boss. So they’re tricked into thinking that this is something important when this is something that happens every single day in everyone’s business. It’s a freaking joke.”

13 million folks are watching the Impeachment Hearings. Let's put that in context:
16 million watch NCIS while 300 million folks are watching or doing something else. 20 million folks watched the Kavanah hearings. 90 million watched the last Super Bowl. Heck, 130 million Americans voted in 2016 and only 13 million are watching these hearings ?!! And Chris Wallcace wants us to believe that "a lot of people are watching." Only a CNN operative woudl make such a ridiculous statement.
Hey, there still are conservatives in Denver:

Don't believe those folks telling you that impeachment is a purely political matter, having little to nothing to do with actual criminal offenses.
Don't believe those folks telling you that impeachment is a purely political matter, having little to nothing to do with actual criminal offenses. Understand that the Constitution speaks of treason, bribery, high crimes and misdemeanors. Which of these categories are not "criminal" in nature?
"High crimes and misdemeanors" is a phrase from Section 4 of Article Two of the United States Constitution: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

Michael Bloomberg just lost all hope of a successful presidential bid.
Opinion: Michael Bloomberg just lost all hope of a successful presidential bid. How did this happen? He just apologized for "stop and frisk." his very successful key crime fighting policy while mayor of New York City , and, he apologized without offering a viable alternative policy.
Okay, we kind of know how "impeachment" works, but what about " . . . and remove?" Exactly how does that happen?
Understand that a "guilty" verdict in the Senate apparently does not mean that the President has to step down or cannot seek re-election.
Nixon resigned before the impeachment trial was held, but what if a sitting president refuses to resign? Will the military storm the White House? Or the D.C. police force? Does Congress simply ignore the guilty president? And what if he ran for re-election and won? Would congress refuse to administer the oath?
Some of us must smile as we imagine the complications Donald J Trump has brought into focus.

Was it an impeachable offense for Trump to "fire" the ambassador to Ukraine?
Flashback: Obama Fired All Of Bush's Politically Appointed Ambassadors In 2008
Was it an impeachable offense for Trump to "fire" the ambassador to Ukraine? Well, Obama fired all of Bush 43's appointed ambassador's on his first day in office. Apparently, we should have impeached Obama for that, no ???

Politicians, Pundits Accuse Trump Of Witness Tampering By Tweeting At Yovanovitch During Impeachment Hearings
Witness tampering ?? Seriously ?? Question: who submitted the tweet in question during her testimony. Trump or Mr Bug Eyes ??
She had no means to access Trump's tweet during her testimony unless or until Adam Schiff, the only one with the authority to read into the daily record, did just that, read the President's tweet into the public record and then prestend to care about the ambassador's sense of securti7y.
Keep in mind that Marina Yovanovitch should have never been called as a witness since she was transferred from her diplomatic post to Ukraine on April 24 of 2019 and "The Phone Call" was not made until July 25, three months later.
She admitted in her testimony that she was not aware of any criminal behavior and could not testify to the extistence of an actual bribe.
Case close. End of discussion.
Again, I will allow for the possibility that Pelosi might refuse to pass this impeachment effort on to the Senate. I mean, it is going THAT badly.
This possibility was first published by Midknight Review two weeks ago.
The newly refined statement of THE impeachment crime under consideration:
The bribe is to grant or withhold military assistance in return for a public statement of a fake investigation into elections ~ Pelosi (yesterday in a brief presser).
In this statement, a first time defining of what the Dems see as an impeachable offense, in which all the objections of the GOP are codified.
For starters, this is no longer about Mueller, Stormy Daniels, collusion, taxs, extortion, any of the three investigations preceding Mueller (an FBI investigation as well as a House and Seanate investigation), talk of Trump being a Russian spy and/or agent, the emolument clause and violations thereof, all the crap detailed in the Steele Dossier, Trump's efforts to lay hold of the 33,000 delete Clinton emails, his firing of James Comey and more. Rather it is now and for the first time (after three freaking years) about the implied threat to withhold lethal military aid (as Barack Obama did) unless or until there isan investigation into the Bidens a statement (only) of a fake (or an unscheduled) investigation into the Bidens American elections.
In spite of the fact that her statement will not be used in a definitive sense by anyone other than Pelosi, still, she has defined the current impeachment effort as something that moves the Dems' efforts away from a bribe that orders a real investigation into a real withholding of military aid . . . neither of which actually happened.
No one will pick up on this, but her statement speaks of "investigations into elections," NOT investigations into the Bidens. Seems to me to be a rather huge variation that absolves the President of any wrong doing, since it can never be corrupt to investigate "elections."

The Nation's Globalists have spent decades building a consensus opinion relating to national/global politics. Understand that an opinion is an opinion, but a consensus opinion is a religion and Trump is an apostate
Globalists confuse their "consensus opinion" with the national opinion AND what is right and proper. Their approach to world politics includes a religious passion that clouds their ability to think objectively, to the point of rejecting opposing strategies and opinion. In religion, descent is heretical and Trump is a heretic ~ editor.
Kelly and Tillerson’s arguments mirror those made by some of the witnesses Democrats called to testify in private before the House Intelligence Committee.
Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, for example, admitted that he did not know if anything Trump said to the president of Ukraine on their now-infamous phone call was illegal, but that he was concerned that Trump’s views went outside the “interagency” consensus and reflected an “unproductive narrative.”
Haley, who told CBS Sunday Morning that she did not believe the president had done anything wrong in the phone call, has been critical of Trump in the past — most recently, for example, criticizing his withdrawal in Syria.
She repeated her claim that Kelly and Tillerson tried to run their own policy in the belief that they were saving the country.

In her explosive new memoir, Haley claims former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and former White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly attempted to bring her in to subvert the president, according to The Washington Post which obtained the book prior to its release.Haley refused their attempts to convince her to “save the country,” noting Tillerson and Kelly were suspicious of and threatened by her relationship with the president. During her time in the administration, Haley demonstrated an “obligation to carry out [Trump’s] wishes since he was the one elected by voters,” wrote Washington Post reporter Anne Gearan.
“Kelly and Tillerson confided in me that when they resisted the president, they weren’t being insubordinate, they were trying to save the country,” Haley wrote in “With All Due Respect.”

That LSU - Bama game? One of the best college games of the year AND the game was played in Trump country.
President Trump arrived to cheers and chants of “USA! USA!” from a
packed crowd of over 100,000 at Bryant-Denny Stadium for the LSU-Alabama
college football game in Tuscaloosa, Alabama Saturday afternoon. Trump
and First Lady Melania took seats in a box on the LSU side of the field.
Later the crowd gave Trump a standing ovation when he and Melania were
shown on the Jumbotron.
Just in case you missed it, here is the name of the whistleblower:
Eric Ciaramella
The name has been in the public record for at least three weeks. He is a partisan Democrat and has been involved with the "coup" attempt (their word) at some level for more than a year before becoming the "whistleblower." In fact, it is a known fact that he met with Adam Schiff before the release of the whistleblower complaint, that his complaint was written with the help of several agents/politicians/lawyers and was not of his own creation.
Schiff will continue to refuse to allow his public or private testimony because of the above facts, pretending, instead, that members of the GOP or their operatives intend to harm or kill the Blower. Pure nonsense but that is the lie that is being told by Schiff and his associates.
Now you know.
Update: Like we didn't already know his name;

Trump gets an A grade when it comes to apoointing federal judges to our court system. Thanks Obama for leaving so many federal court vacancies.
President Donald Trump has appointed more judges in less than three
years to the circuit courts than any of his two-term predecessors going
back to Ronald Reagan.
The Senate confirmed William Nardini, on Thursday, to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, making 25% of circuit court judges Trump appointees. That was the president’s 45th pick, higher than the number of judges appointed by all presidents from Reagan to Obama, the Washington Examiner noted.
CSPAN Capitol Hill producer Craig Caplan noted the milestone and remarks from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell who said, “At the close of business today, it so happens, one in every four judges on the federal courts of appeals will have been nominated by President Trump and confirmed by us here in the Senate”

COUP DEFINED: a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government: "he was overthrown in an army coup"
Understand that an "impeachment" effort initiated before President (in this case) has had time to actually begin his role as National Governor is, by definition, a coup. To geing an "impeachment" effort before Trump had a chance to appoint his first cabinet member or issue a presidential declaration, or, in any way to act as a President. is again and by definition an illegal coup.
For FoxNews to play down the notion of a coup makes Fox as complicite in this illegal process as the major corporate/Marxist media. . . . . . . . cclearly in it for the money, period.
