One of the evergreen characterizations of our two major political parties is that Democrats represent the poor and Republicans represent the rich.  Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren lead in the demonization of people with wealth – with the rest of the Democrat presidential field serving as the “MeToo” chorus (not to be confused with the Democrat feminist #MeTooMovement). While they castigate people with wealth, virtually all the Democrat presidential contenders ARE people of wealth.  When they condemn those contemptible “millionaires and billionaires,” they fail to admit that they are among…

America seems to be consumed … CONSUMED … by politics.  It has spilled over into every phase of American life. If you want to get away from political references and implications forget about sports. The NFL cleaves on patriotism.  The NBA on foreign policy. Forget about enjoying a few laughs.  The predominant subject of jokesters is politics.  Forget about the movies.  More and more of them are politically based or incorporate obvious political messaging.  Same for television shows.  If you are interested in news around the world, forget about our…

While I have often wondered why so many black voters maintain allegiance to the Democratic Party in view of their long history – to this day – of oppression of black citizens. First it was slavery, then segregation and now the remnants of de facto racism in our major Democrat-run cities today. The race card is still being dishonestly played against Republicans by the hypocritical Democrats, but that is not the focus of this commentary.  It appears that the race card does NOT play well in Democrats intramural presidential politics.…

Democrats, who were expecting the other shoe to drop during U.S. Ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland’s testimony today, may have heard it fall, but it never really hit the floor. While it is true that Sondland did provide stunning testimony to Congress affirming a “quid pro quo” for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to secure a meeting and phone call with President Trump, he denied having any direct evidence that those conditions were directly tied to holding back critical security aid, nor that they came directly from the president.…

After waiting and planning for the better part of three years, Democrats are now in a bit of a hurry to get President Trump impeached.  They had hoped to get it accomplished before Thanksgiving, but that deadline is no longer an option. They now hope to have it out of the six “inquiry committees” and into the Judiciary Committee – where it should have been in the first place.  And yes, there are technically six committees serving as impeachment inquiry committees – although the House Intelligence Committee, with California Congressman…

The Impeachment circus of President Trump rolled onto Capital Hill yesterday, with ringmaster Adam Schiff ready to preside over the “made-for-TV-performance. Everything had been meticulously planned in advance, the Biden operative secretly working somewhere within INTEL, perhaps at the urging of the former vice president decides to step forward using the protective status as a whistleblower, citing second and third hand information regarding the infamous July 26th phone call. Setting into monition the investigation by ringmaster Schiff, however, the whistleblower will not testify, perhaps revealing the dubious relationships between Biden…

Famed civil libertarian Alan Dershowitz has said that he believes that the Democratic leaders in the House are trying to create crimes out of thin air. Speaking recently on John Catsimatidis’ radio show, the often controversial Dershowitz said, that all Americans should be “frightened” of the House’s impeachment investigation, accusing Democrats of trying to “create crimes out of nothing.” Dershowitz issued this dire warning to Catsimatidis’ audience, “Whether you’re from New York or the middle of the country, you should be frightened by efforts to try to create crimes out…

As the greatest reality show on TV since the first season of “The Apprentice” continues to unfold, yesterday’s live broadcast for the open hearings in the impeachment inquiry were cacophonies of lies, bribery, and sexism. As to the “lies” and “bribery,” House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy blasted Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff as a “serial liar,” while at the same time, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused President Trump of bribery. In back-to-back press conferences, Pelosi and McCarthy delivered starkly contrasting accounts of the first public hearing in the impeachment inquiry,…

The Republicans have produced their list of the witnesses that they would like call during the soon to be public hearings of the impeachment inquiry. While there may have been some surprising names on the list – including Joe and Hunter Biden, what should come as no surprise, is that Adam “Shifty” Schiff is rejecting most of the names on the list. The GOP witness list, obtained by Fox News included Hunter Biden, the son of former vice president Joe Biden, and the anonymous intelligence community whistleblower whose complaint about…

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…
