Will Trump testify in the impeachment ‘inquiry?’

In order to create a press release issue that would give her a few minutes of face time in front of the camera, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi invited President Trump to be a witness. Kneejerk reaction has been that Trump would never even consider such a proposal.  It is unprecedented and arguably risky.  Pelosi even suggested that Trump could respond to questions in writing.  This invitation my have been more palpable if House Democrats had not just opened yet ANOTHER investigation – this time arguing that Trump had lied –…

Trump Can Be His Own Worst Enemy

One of President Trump’s least desirable traits is his love of public spats – in many cases needless and self-defeating.  He did it again during the impeachment hearing with former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch. As I watched the play-by-play action – or lack of action – in the so-called impeachment inquiry, it was obvious that Trump’s team – the Republicans on the Intelligence Committee — were winning for the most part.  Although you will not get that view from the east coast media propaganda machine. In the middle of Yovanovitch’s testimony,…

If you think Schiff is bad … wait until Nadler takes over

One of the reasons that this current phase of impeachment folly is called an “inquiry” is that it is the normal responsibility of the House Judiciary Committee to hold a REAL impeachment hearing – one that will lead to Articles of Impeachment, or not. What is going on in the House today is nothing more than a long public relations stunt with Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff as the current ringmaster.  There was no reason that Democrats could not have simply voted to launch an impeachment HEARING – as has…

Media loves Beto … voters not so much

We can all recall how former Democrat Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke entered the presidential race with the adulation of the liberal media.  He was compared to Jack Kennedy – a new young face.  Dynamic! Charismatic!!  Able to leap tall buildings in a single … or that was the fictional superman.  Sorry. O’Rourke was catapulted to national prominence by his campaign against incumbent Republican Senator Ted Cruz. The press praised the great campaign O’Rourke had waged, admired his fundraising capabilities and were celebratory of his vote totals.  That was a lot…

HORIST: The fuss about the “L” word

President Trump referred to the impeachment process as a “lynching.”  In colloquial usage, the word means that a person is being unfairly treated – outside the bounds of law and tradition.  We often call our adversaries in such a situation as a “lynch mob.” It is, of course, a rhetorical allusion – not a statement of literality.  It is a “catch phrase” that has been in common use for generations. In its current manifestation, it is also another example of how Trump hatred has distorted and reversed the norms of…

Pelosi: No one comes to Congress to impeach the President

Yes, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi actually said that – and the pro-impeachment press played her comment without rebuttal.  That let her blatant and obvious political lie stand.  That is what the elitist media do. But what about … ? California Congresswoman Maxine Waters calling for Trump’s impeachment BEFORE he was inaugurated.  She raised that desire during the transition period when the Democratic Party, the political left and most of the east coast liberal media were in a state of shock.  The knee-jerk mood on the left was to undo what…

What do the impeachment polls tell us that the media will not?

If you follow the recent polls – and God knows why you would – they indicate that a slim majority – around 52 percent or so – favor impeaching President Trump.  Some polls even indicate that a majority of the American public favor removing him from office. That gives Democrats a rationale for moving ahead with their three-and-a-half-year campaign to undo the 2016 election.  It is now 99.9 percent certain that they will impeach the President.  They are claiming popular support. Since at least one or two Republicans in the…

Hillary is unhinged … more than ever

On top of Trump Deranged Syndrome (TDS), for First Lady, New York Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is showing signs of Terminal Russian Universal Meddling Paranoia (TRUMP). Do not misunderstand.  I do believe that the Russians meddled in the 2016 General Election.  In fact, I am quite sure that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been meddling in our domestic and foreign affairs before and since.  I think that is also true of the Chinese, the North Koreans, the Iranians, the Cubans – and even the Brits, the French…

Hunter Biden needs to be investigated … for real

The elitist liberal press predicates days of repetitious reporting on two assumptions – which they claim are facts.  Assumptions are NOT facts. First is the claim that President Trump wanted Ukrainian President to “make up dirt” on former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter “for political purposes.” At best, that is one person’s theory – spin.  It is not an established fact by the transcript of the conversation or any of the secondary commentary. It is equally reasonable – and there is hard evident to support it –…

In case you haven’t notice … GM workers are still on strike

On example of how the to-impeach-or-not-to-impeach has sucked all the air out of the airwaves, consider the workers strike against GM.  At 21 days. this is now one of the longest major strikes in decades – not counting the 3-day walk out against GM in 2007.  In normal times, an auto strike would be the lead story at the top of the news virtually every day – but these are not normal times. In my surfing the news networks, I was reminded of the GM strike by a report on…
