Vindman is defended solely because he is a decorated soldier. Never mind that he could not support his own House testimony.

Take It From Me, the Attacks on Vindman Are Disgraceful

Maybe being straight is a choice that should be protected, as well.

NBC News:  A group of people from across the country who formerly identified as gay and transgender have descended upon Washington this week to share their stories and lobby against two proposed LGBTQ-rights bills.
The group is made up of 15 members of Church United and Changed, two California-based organizations that seek to provide community for, and protect the rights of, “formers” — individuals who formerly identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.
The bills the group is lobbying against are H.R. 5, better known as the Equality Act, and H.R. 3570, or the Therapeutic Fraud Prevention Act. Both have been supported by the country’s major LGBTQ advocacy organizations, though neither is expected to become law anytime soon.

This Review is one of the first to reveal the name and picture of the socalled "whistleblower."

Paul Sperry / RealClearInvestigations: ‘Whistleblower’ Exposed: Close to Biden, Brennan, Schiff's Staff, and DNC Operative  —  For a town that leaks like a sieve, Washington has done an astonishingly effective job keeping from the American public the name of the anonymous “whistleblower" who triggered impeachment proceedings against President Trump — even though his identity is an open secret inside the Beltway.

More than two months after the official filed his complaint, pretty much all that’s known publicly about him is that he is a CIA analyst who at one point was detailed to the White House and is now back working at the CIA.

But the name of a government official fitting that description — Eric Ciaramella — has been raised privately in impeachment depositions, according to officials with direct knowledge of the proceedings, as well as in at least one open hearing held by a House committee not involved in the impeachment inquiry. Fearing their anonymous  witness could be exposed, Democrats this week blocked Republicans from asking more questions about him and intend to redact his name from all deposition transcripts.

So, how have our students done under the Progressive leadership of Bush 43 and Barack Obama?

Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos criticized the state of American students’ education Wednesday, saying the United States is in a “student achievement crisis.”
DeVos referred to the 2019 Nation’s Report Card, a national assessment of U.S. students’ academic understandings and abilities released Wednesday. The report found that between 2017 and 2019, reading and mathematics scores lowered for all students except for mathematics scores for fourth-grade students.
 about what it means for their child and for our country’s future,” DeVos said in a statement provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation. “The results are, frankly, devastating. This country is in a student achievement crisis, and over the past decade it has continued to worsen, especially for our most vulnerable students.”

Remember when Trump, in his first year, visited the Middle East and met with the leadership of 56 Arab nations? Well, it has paid off:

Rising tides sink all ships? Or, only those on foreign shorelines?

Before reading the following,  keep these questions in mind.

1.  How many decades does it take to move 150 million people into new homes,  new jobs, with new food supply lines?

2.  How many decades does ittake to move and establish new business clusters?  

3.Why is Thailand  effected but not Hawaii ,  both bordered by the same ocean.

4. And why is Hawaii not in the process of moving its buisness and residential districts to either higher ground or to the Mainland? 

5. If tide rise is presently occurring,  why has the shoreline at the Statue of Liberty remained the same for decades?

6.  If tide rise will inundate much of Egypt,  why is Manhatten Island's business district not affected,  since both geo centers are surrounded or bordered by the same Atlantic Ocean circumstance?  

7.  In 2005,  it was predicted that the Twin Towers Memorial Site would be under 20 ft of ocean water by 2015?  

8.  Why are not all coastal regions of the world not preparing for critical tide rise?  

Rising Seas Will Erase More Cities by 2050, New Research Shows

Rising seas could affect three times more people by 2050 than previously thought, according to new research, threatening to all but erase some of the world’s great coastal cities.
The authors of a paper published Tuesday developed a more accurate way of calculating land elevation based on satellite readings, a standard way of estimating the effects of sea level rise over large areas, and found that the previous numbers were far too optimistic. The new research shows that some 150 million people are now living on land that will be below the high-tide line by midcentury. 

More than 20 million people in Vietnam, almost one-quarter of the population, live on land that will be inundated.
Much of Ho Chi Minh City, the nation’s economic center, would disappear with it, according to the research, which was produced by Climate Central, a science organization based in New Jersey, and published in the journal Nature Communications. The projections don’t account for future population growth or land lost to coastal erosion. 


Standard elevation measurements using satellites struggle to differentiate the true ground level from the tops of trees or buildings, said Scott A. Kulp, a researcher at Climate Central and one of the paper’s authors. So he and Benjamin Strauss, Climate Central’s chief executive, used artificial intelligence to determine the error rate and correct for it.
In Thailand, more than 10 percent of citizens now live on land that is likely to be inundated by 2050, compared with just 1 percent according to the earlier technique. The political and commercial capital, Bangkok, is particularly imperiled.
Climate change will put pressure on cities in multiple ways, said Loretta Hieber Girardet, a Bangkok resident and United Nations disaster risk-reduction official. Even as global warming floods more places, it will also push poor farmers off the land to seek work in cities.

The disappearance of cultural heritage could bring its own kind of devastation. Alexandria, Egypt, founded by Alexander the Great around 330 B.C., could be lost to rising waters.
In other places, the migration caused by rising seas could trigger or exacerbate regional conflicts.
Basra, the second-largest city in Iraq, could be mostly underwater by 2050. If that happens, the effects could be felt well beyond Iraq’s borders, according to John Castellaw, a retired Marine Corps lieutenant general who was chief of staff for United States Central Command during the Iraq War.

PERSONALLY, I HAVE NEVER BELIEVED THE LAWSUITS AGAINST JOHNSON AND JOHNSON WERE CREDIBLE. NOW THIS CONFIRMING HEADLINE AND STORY.

J&J says new tests find no asbestos in same baby power bottle that sparked recall

CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, THIS IMPEACHMENT NONSENSE IS NOT GOING WELL FOR THE FECTLESS DEMS. - SO SAYS NOT ONE BUT TWO RECENT POLLS.


The USA TODAY/Suffolk poll showing only 36% of Americans want Trump impeached  and removed from office.  Suffolk is the second survey in recent days showing a considerable number of Americans are against impeaching President Trump.

According to an NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll published on Friday (a second poll),  Americans are split down party lines on whether to oust the president. Forty-nine percent believe he should be impeached and removed from office, 49 percent oppose the move.
Last month, House Democrats launched an impeachment inquiry against President Trump over his July 25th telephone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, accusing the president of attempting to pressure his counterpart to probe allegations of corruption against former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. Both world leaders have denied the charges and the White House has released a transcript of the call to show no wrongdoing occurred.

Under pressure from House Republicans and moderate Democrats, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Monday that Congress will vote to formalize their impeachment inquiry. The move is expected to put an end to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) conducting closed-door interviews with current and former Trump administration officials inside Capitol Hill’s SCIF room, a compartmented facility for sensitive information. House Republicans have accused Schiff of using the secret room to selectively leak excerpts of witnesses’ testimony to the media to boost public opinion for impeachment.

IS STENY HOYER A SECOND DEM NOT WILLING TO COMMIT TO A YES VOTE ON IMPEACHMENT?

Breibart:   House Majority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) has signaled he will not commit to House Democrats voting this week to formalize their secret impeachment inquiry, even after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said a vote is expected to take place on Thursday.

I KNOW ITS ONLY ONE DEMOCRAT, BUT IS HIS "NO" VOTE JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR PELOSI AND DEM'S COUP ATTEMPT???

Rep. Jeff Van Drew (D-NJ) said Tuesday that he will likely vote against a resolution by House Democrats to formalize their secret impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, prompting more uncertainly around whether Thursday’s expected vote will go on as planned.

Asked by NBC News reporter Alex Moe if he supports the measure, Van Drew replied: “I would imagine that I’m not voting for it.”

The House announced Monday that it will move Thursday to determine whether to establish impeachment inquiry procedures into President Trump. The text of the resolution was not immediately released, but House Rule Committee Chairman Jim McGovern (D-MA) said it would “provide a clear path forward” on the impeachment inquiry.
However, even before Van Drew’s comments, House Majority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) had already poured some cold water on plans to vote for the measure Thursday, telling reporters on Capitol Hill: “We’re going to have to consider whether or not it’s ready to go on Thursday. I hope that’s the case,”
