Biden Won’t Comply With Subpoena for Trump’s Impeachment Trial

On Friday, Dec. 27, former Vice President Joe Biden said that he would not comply with a subpoena to testify in President Trump’s upcoming Senate impeachment trial. In an interview with the editorial board of the De Moines Register in Iowa, Biden claimed that if he were issued a subpoena to appear before the Senate, any testimony he would give would only draw attention away from Trump’s alleged wrongdoing and would effectively let the president off the hook. “What are you going to cover?” Biden said to Register Executive Editor…

Sanctuary county on course to release 1,000 criminal illegal immigrants

The sanctuary county of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina is currently on course to let 1,000 criminal illegal immigrants into the interior of the U.S. after its officials ended cooperation with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. Figures from the federal government have revealed that each year until Fiscal Year of 2019, Mecklenburg County would hand over to ICE between 1,000 to 1,300 illegal immigrants with criminal convictions or pending charges against them. Last December, however, Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden put an end to all of that, tearing up…

Harris Calls It Quits

California Sen. Kamala Harris has announced that she is withdrawing from the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. Harris has had to call it quits after failing to capitalize on early enthusiasm for her campaign and watching her poll numbers collapse. “In good faith, I can’t tell you, my supporters and volunteers, that I have a path forward if I don’t believe I do,” Harris wrote in an email to supporters. “So, to you my supporters, it is with deep regret — but also with deep gratitude — that I…

The New Phoenix Project

Governments are always doing something in the dark shadows far away from discerning and prying eyes.  Sometimes it is necessary and for the bigger cause.  The government is supposed to be in place to serve the people.  Often times secrets are necessary to keep one’s hand unexposed.  This too, however, can get out of hand. The CIA and the military started a covert program used to assassinate VC sympathizers during the time of the Vietnam war called The Phoenix Project.  This counter-insurgency doctrine has been put into full play by…

A fashion critique on looking like a President

In my many decades of advising political candidates – and other public figures – how to manage their public images, I have always placed some importance on “looks.”  How you message and what you believe are very important, the appearance of a candidate can either reinforce or distract from a good public image. Senator John McCain did himself no good by campaigning in tan pants and polo shirts.  He looked more like an Arizona retiree than the senior senator from that state.  On the other hand, President Obama, with his…

Member nations increase support for NATO – Trump gets no credit

During his presidential campaign – and ever since his inauguration – President Trump has constantly called on the other members of NATO to increase their financial contribution.  At the time Trump took office, only three of the 29 NATO nations were meeting their agreed-to funding of two percent of Gross Domestic Product.  As with the UN, the United States was the only nation carrying a disproportionate percentage of the alliance budget. In typical fashion, Trump was pretty rough on our NATO allies.  He treated them like the deadbeats they were.…

Operation Paperclip

Being the greatest military power in the world is what apparently most world powers strive to be.  This is especially true when considering the United States of America.  I guess the motto is win or go home.  This country has been doing quite a bit of winning.  Most of these wins go unnoticed by the general public.  This is because a lot of victories are won covertly.  Of course, transparency is not exactly what I would expect from a government.  A team can’t let an opposing team get a hold…

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,…

Trump Aims To Drastically Slash ‘Asylum Seeker’ Inflow By Next Year

The amount of so-called ‘asylum seekers’ pouring into the United States is set to be slashed by at least 40 percent in 2020 compared this year, where 30,000 migrants were settled throughout the country. President Trump has authorized a cap on the ‘refugee resettlement program’ for the Fiscal Year of 2020, the Associated Press reports. The cap would permit no more than 18,000 ‘refugees’ to be resettled in the interior of the country in 2020. Once realized, this would represent an 80 percent reduction in the inflow of refugees compared to…
