Apparently, the Senate is going to allow 10 minutes per Senator (there are 100 of these clowns) , after the aquittal, to express their views. Question: Who in the hell is going to watch this? Apparently the Dems do not believe they have sufficiently pissed off the Trump Supporter so they are going for a historical but wholly meaningless assult on our president.
Understand this: In a sane society, the Democrat Party would be headed for a record setting loss . . . . . and all we can do is hope.
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.
A rather shocking polling result from Rasmussen:
Total Black Voter Approval for President Trump Doubles to 42%
Editor: Rasmussen is not a Trump supporter
Bolton is completely irrelevant to the on-going impeachment circus
2005 VIDEO: Adam Schiff Says John Bolton suffers a “Lack of Credibility”
Editor: You can click on the above link and read if you so choose, but such commentary is really totally beside the point. For starters, Bolton has proven only that he is more an opportunistic and self-serving capitalisit. Secondly, Even if he thought he heard Trump try to force the Ukrainian government to investigate corruption and the Bidens, there can be nothing wrong with that reality in view of the absolute and undeniable fact that Biden bragged about his corruption on a stage and on video.
The Dems may have just lost a key Senator in their fight for more witnesses.;
Dem Impeachment Managers Give Murkowsk the finger - and to think they need her vote within the next 24 hours.
General Flynn Update: After putting him into bankruptsy and failing to tie him to any Russian conspiracy, prosecutors may ask for no more than probation . . . . just a bunch of jerksand this is the FBI work for the people ??!!
UPDATE—
Federal Prosecutors tonight came back and softened their stance against General Flynn.
DOJ attorneys now say they will offer Flynn probation when just days ago they demanded he serve time in prison.

One of the most hysterical lies told by the Left is this one:
Hypocrisy: Daily Beast's Obeidallah Slams Trump for Anti-Semitism
Editor: In fact, we have not had a more pro-Israeli president in our lifetime. Constract that to the rank anti-Semitism of Barack Obama, his foreigh aid to Isael aside.
Understand that Barack knows how to play the game. Give Israel an extrodinary foreign aid supply as cover for his plans to destroy Israel. Too radical a charge?
Consider the following: Barack attempts to close out the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt fostered by President Carter decades ago by helping to impose the Muslim Brotherhood into Egyptian politics . . . . the same terror organization that murdered Anwar Sedat back in the 1980's. In fact, Barack often entertained a contingent of Brotherhood trash at his round table as advisorss. His nuclear "deal" giving Iran a path to nuclear power within 10 years was/is a direct threat to the long-time existence of Israel. Figure in his dinner snub of Netanyahu, called to the WH and then left in the cold as Barack went to dine with his family. We should not forget Barack's sanctioned mission of several staffers, sent to Israel with millions of dollars and the assignment to help defeat Netanyahu in his bid to continue as Prime Minister.

The closing question of Nadler's Thursday rant proves the weakness of the Democrat's case:
Nadler: "What did the President know and when did he know it?" And with that, Nadler leaves center stage.
Editor's notes: My question is this: Isn't Nadler's question the very thing the Dems supposedly answered in their House investigation? The answer is obvious and Nadler's closing question is equally obviou to this point: the Dems are fully aware that they have come to the Senate with an extremely poor accusatorial case versus the President.

Did you know that there are 100x more Antifa radicals, Nation of Islam (Farakahan low-lifes), Green Peace radicals burning our cities down or followers of Al Sharpton running around ambushing and killing our cops than there are "white supremacists," all of whom bow and scrape to the Democrat Party?

Trump is back in the tall cotton with farmers and I mean the really tall cotton.
“Of note is the strongly approve category went up three percentage
points from an already lofty (December) number and his highest overall
approval ratings ever,” said Pro Farmer policy analyst Jim Wiesemeyer.
“That says the president’s approval is rock-solid,” Wiesemeyer added. “With the recent upbeat news on USMCA and the Phase 1 accord with China, the ratings will likely remain firm ahead.”
Farmers who stated they “strongly approve” of President Trump rose to 64 percent in January, up from 61 percent at the end of 2019. A mere 19 percent said they “somewhat approve” of President Trump’s performance, while only three percent said they “somewhat disapprove.”

Fake vs. real history
Fake
history is a lot like fake news -- left-leaning propaganda devoid of
truth and substance. Wednesday’s impeachment display was truly one for
the fake history books. Defying the narrative of a somber undertaking,
cheery pink suit and all, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi barely suppressed,
along with her colleagues, a demeanor of self-satisfaction and sheer
delight worthy of the Academy Award. Of course, instead of the Oscar,
there was the “Nancy,” a gold pen emblazoned with her name, given to the
greatest political performers who act as if they have the best
interests of the United States at heart. Her remarks compared the false,
underhanded impeachment proceedings to notable and historic events of
our nation’s past. Her zany ramblings belied
the fact that this impeachment is not a result of an actual crime, but
is in truth a nasty bipartisan assault on a political rival and our
constitution. Pelosi and the left push their fake history and equate
their dirty dealings with heavy weighted historical occurrences of days
gone by.
Ironically, just as the deep state leaders were busy impersonating the patriots and deep thinkers of our past, true history was made with a momentous trade deal, which among other things, increases sales of U.S. goods and services to China, of all places. Then, just one day later, to the continued amazement and delight of investors, the U.S. stock market hit an all-time high of 29,000. The fact of the matter is that progress of historical proportions is and has been made by the businessman and master dealmaker from Queens, who won the presidential election in 2016. Unbelievably, he has completed these successes with more pushback and obstruction by the opposing party than any other leader in history.
The falsely proclaimed historical importance of the Articles of Impeachment against Donald Trump is fake history and no phony pomp and circumstance can change that. What is real are Donald Trump’s accomplishments in making America great again.

CNN wants you to believe that Trump was lying about injuries during the recent missile atack by Iran.
CNN:
US troops were injured in Iran missile attack despite Pentagon initially saying there were no casualties
— (CNN)Several US service members were injured during last week's
Iranian missile attack on Al-Asad airbase in Iraq despite the Pentagon
initially saying that no casualties had taken place.
Editor: Turms out that no one was disabled or killed during the missile attack. BUT, a couple of days after the attack(s), 11 soldiers were diagnoised with concussion trama. No one was lying.
While CNN was pushing the fantasy that Trump lied, it missed the larger story: that a missile attack causing concussion is evidence that Iran was actually trying to kill Americans. The fact that there were no serious casualties is proof of Iran's ineptness when it comes to waging war against a super power such as the United States.
If you look to this blog for any substantive postings regarding Impeachment . . .
If you look to this blog for any substantive postings regarding Impeachment, you will be disappointed. News flash: There will be next to nothing "new" or "substantive" to report in view of the past three years and the incessant B.S. streanming from the Democrat haters.
Understand that "they" have been using the time since Reagan but including Bush 41 through Obama, to convert this once free and independent nation into the money supply for the global community. Had Hillary won in 2016, the United States would have been well into its final leg, completing the push to full blown globalism.
If Trump and the conservative nation can keep the presidency and hold onto the Senate after the 2020 election, the Patriot Nation will have secured a critical reversal in this march into the global and repressive comunity.
The little known secret in all this, is the (now) obvious fact that the New York Democrat Community has known of Trump's over-all political philosophy for more than two decades, a comprehensive strategy regarding climate change, U.N. membership, NATO, radical Islam, taxation, the role of the working/middle class in a vibrant society, regulations, immigration, America First popularism, the use of environmental concerns to gain an advantage when it comes to infrastructure, building the Border Wall, his regard/respect for the military coupled with the instituitions of law and order, and, finally, his view as to the importance of a constitutionally based Supreme Court and its federal court system.
This is why they were talking about impeachment even before he moved into the White House. That above paragraph is 90% of the agenda/cultural tools of the Marxist Left (and they are Marxist Left) . And he has brought great harm to socialist/godless plans.

About the Wall:
News releases on Monday tell us that Trump has transferred 7.2 billion away from Pentagon funding to help build the Wall.
While Kerry frames the 1.7 billion as a 'little bit of money," he ignores the 180 billion in confiscated funds returned to Iran , again, as a bribe for agreement on the 10 year Iranian Nuclear Deal .
"We gave them a little bit of money that was released at that period of time." @JohnKerry refers to the $1.7 billion payment the US gave to Iran as a "little bit of money."http://washex.am/2FQi1wh
Just to be clear: The $1.7 billion was paid in untraceable currency, flown into Iran under the dark of night in an unmaked Cessna type plane, and given to Iran as a bribe for their usigned, non-binding and limited agreement with the John Kerry fairytale "treaty."
Never forget that Obama and his minions tried to help the Muslim Brotherhood takeover Egypt, destroyed the government of Libya and permitted the deaths of our Ambassador and his inner circle, ran guns into Syria, premitted the deaths of 32 Navy Seals, ran guns into Mexico resulting in the deaths of two border agents, and etc. In short, he was nothing short of cold blooded revolutionary reformer.

Pelosi pretends she is still in charge of the resistance when the fact of the matter is this:
The House is done with its sham "resistance." She can call Bolton and whoever else, the insiders within the Administration. No one not pretending that Trump is in some kind of the political danger actually believes that Bolton or whoever would participate in a socialist/Marxist tskedown of our President. Ain't going to happen and Pelosi believes in righteous prayer to the same degree that Hitler believed in mercy and fairness.
Pelosi Doubles Down, Says House Could Subpoena John Bolton
198 miles of new built replacement wall; 100 miles of completed new wall and new funding for 200 miles of new wall approved by federal courts this past week.
As reported at The Daily Caller
– Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf stopped by the U.S.-Mexico border near
Yuma Friday and delivered a speech in recognition of the important
milestone: 100 miles of completed border wall since the beginning of the
Trump administration. Republican Arizona Sen. Martha McSally,
Republican Yuma Mayor Douglas Nicholls and numerous Border Patrol
officials joined Wolf.
End of the world? Really ?
There was an AMAZING display at Besheshti University– Protesters REFUSED to step on the US and Israeli flags!
Pelosi and her impeachment strategy - is there another leg to this issue?
Speaker Pelosi says John Bolton may get subpoena from the House
Does this headline mean that Pelosi may change her mind about sending the Dec. 18 House approved impeachment documents to the Senate, that the House is not finished with its investigations, that she intends to take the impeachment issue well into the campaign season?
It is fairly obviou that Pelosi does not believe in the stregth of the House Impeachment Case (for lack of any solid evidence demanding impeachment). As a result, the Dems continue to investigate, desparately hoping to find a "smoking gun"and continue to dream up ways to slow down or stall the impeachment process. Of course, "they" have already stepped off the ledge and the closer to the actual election this impeachment episode comes, the more of a negative for the Democrats it can be. Guranteed, Trump will want the trial to be a four or five week affair, similar to the Clinton trial.
Couple this problem with the fact that Barack has already gone on record as being unhappy with a possible Warren nomination and sees Sanders is too much of a socialist and the election cycle as a problem, becomes a serious and overwhelming (?) issue for the Dems.
Think about it.

Here is what will happen: nothing. There will be no response of any kind. Certainly no military response because Canadians are not worth the protection of their state. In fact, there will be no sanctions . . . absolutely nothing will be done.
Did you know . . . ?
Last December The National Defense Authorization Act (the NDA) was revised and past by the Democrat congress 377 to 48. In re-writing the NDA, the Dems omitted two key amendments. One was the removal of the requirement to get congressional approval for any funding for a war with Iran and the second was the removal of the requirement demanding congressional approval for the killing of terrorists in connection with events related to 9/11 . . . . and the war with Iran meets that description in view of the fact that Iran participated with Saddam in counter-attacks during our war with Radical Islam back in the GW Bush days of war.

For the record: 15 missiles fired with zero casualties - clearly a face saving effort from Iran and now . . . .?
Update: The official count is now 16 missiles fired at US forces. Again, none scored any casualties. If intentional, the missile "raid" was a face saving event. If the strike was a real effort to kill but failed, it demonstrates the stark inetness of the Iranian Military.
For the record: 15 missiles fired with zero casualties - clearly a face saving effort from Iran and now . . . .?
What remains? For starters, the Iranians will continue to pretend (to its people) that their attack was substantive.
Secondly, expect to see headline after headline causing concern and driving up Media profit. It appears that the threat of war with Iran is over. Profiteering is all that remains. To say it differently: the ensuing headlines are all about bleeding this story for Media profit and nothing more . . . as is the case with most headline creations, especially "follow-up" headlines.

Is the "mother of all wars" over?
A tweet from Javad Zariff: tells us the "revenge" attacks from Iran are over. Damage was done but no lives were lost and no one (American or Iraqi) was injured.
Iran took and concluded proportionate measures in self-defense under Article 51 of UN Charter targeting base from which cowardly armed attack against our citizens and senior officials were lauched. We do not seek escalation or war but will defendourselvesd against any agression.
So much for the "end of the world" BS coming from Democrat House leadership.
Understand that when Trump allowed for attacks on cultural sites within Iran, he was sending a message to the effect that he would not be limited in future military responses. Clearly, the tactic worked.
In the end, we have an Irainian attack that was more about saving face than about any serious retaliation. "They" are afraid of Trump and for good reason. All that remains is a cloud of extreme rhetoric. This editor does not believe that our President will continue with a second round of strikes. If he does, he has our support but, we seriously believe that the "mother of all wars" is over. Nothing remains but more traitorous talk from the Democrats and a lot of bluster from Iranian Leadership.

Thanks to Trump, the Forty-Year Appeasement of Iran Is Over
E. Jeffrey Ludwig
The assassination of Iranian general
Qassem Soleimani is an unusual, possibly aberrant, event. Foreign policy
changes may swiftly follow.
Obama's Secretary of Defence has this to say about Trump's attack on Soleimani, and its good enough for me.
President Trump had full authority to take out Soleimani as an act of self-defence.
A surprising 2020 prediction coming from The Hill:

The Trump Tarriffs are not the disaster the Left predicted . . . not even close.
The Hill: As a new year dawns in America, many of the nation’s manufacturing sectors are experiencing aggressive growth.
In October, the largest U.S. manufacturer of solar panels, First Solar, announced production at its second U.S. plant, a new $1 billion factory in Lake Township, Ohio, that will employ 500 workers. Roughly a dozen other solar panel and cell manufacturers are following First Solar’s example and launching additional U.S.-based production as well.
In November, kitchenware and furniture maker Williams-Sonoma announced a 6.4 percent increase in third-quarter revenue. Much of this success came from its new retail brand West Elm, which experienced a fourth-quarter sales increase of 14 percent despite 25 percent tariffs on most of its products sourced from China. Williams-Sonoma has made commitments to leave China and is opening manufacturing operations in the U.S. and adding employees.
And in December, America’s largest steelmaker, Nucor, announced the addition of a coil paint line at its Mississippi County, Arkansas, mill that will coat roughly 250,000 tons of steel each year. The plant will add 50 new jobs in Arkansas, joining the hundreds of positions that the company is currently adding in new mills under construction in Missouri and Florida.
These companies are just a few examples of a broader trend showing that the Trump administration’s tariffs are working. The steel industry in particular offers ample evidence, with America’s steel companies investing some $13 billion in new steelmaking and mills across the nation.
In October, the largest U.S. manufacturer of solar panels, First Solar, announced production at its second U.S. plant, a new $1 billion factory in Lake Township, Ohio, that will employ 500 workers. Roughly a dozen other solar panel and cell manufacturers are following First Solar’s example and launching additional U.S.-based production as well.
In November, kitchenware and furniture maker Williams-Sonoma announced a 6.4 percent increase in third-quarter revenue. Much of this success came from its new retail brand West Elm, which experienced a fourth-quarter sales increase of 14 percent despite 25 percent tariffs on most of its products sourced from China. Williams-Sonoma has made commitments to leave China and is opening manufacturing operations in the U.S. and adding employees.
And in December, America’s largest steelmaker, Nucor, announced the addition of a coil paint line at its Mississippi County, Arkansas, mill that will coat roughly 250,000 tons of steel each year. The plant will add 50 new jobs in Arkansas, joining the hundreds of positions that the company is currently adding in new mills under construction in Missouri and Florida.

Nobody with an ounce of commonsense would disagree with Lindsay on this point:

Graham gives Pelosi ultimatum, proposes Senate rule change to remove her from impeachment process
— Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., insists that if House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi does not deliver articles of impeachment against President Trump
to the Senate by the end of the week, the Senate should “take matters in
our own hands.”
Me? I say, "What impeachment?" Until the House finishes their role in the process, an impeachment has not occurred . . . . . . . . . period.
Finally, Hoolywood gets a taste of its own medicine:

Ricky Gervais Tells Hollywood to “F*** Off” in Expletive-Filled Golden Globes Monologue
Once again, Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais did not shy away from hot-button topics in his monologue, even as he told the stars attending on Sunday not to elongate their acceptance speeches by referring to contentious current events.
At the top of the annual ceremony at the Beverly Hilton, Gervais ended his monologue by telling the nominees: “So if you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a political platform to make a political speech. You're in no position to lecture the public about anything, you know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So, if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent and your God and fuck off. OK?”
