Sen. Rand Paul read aloud the name of the alleged whistleblower who first raised alarms about President Donald Trump’s conduct toward Ukraine. After being denied by Chief Justice John Roberts last week, Paul used a period reserved for senators’ impeachment speeches to read aloud the name of an intelligence community official alleged to be the whistleblower. But Paul first pointed out that the question he wanted to pose, which Roberts denied, while using the name of an NSC official reported by conservative media to be the whistleblower, did not actually…

The Democratic 2020 mission to oust President Donald Trump could not have got off to a more disastrous and embarrassing start. The party couldn’t even deliver a first-in-the-nation election night winner after a vote-reporting debacle in Iowa — where candidates spent months and millions of dollars vying for a glittering opening prize in their nominating contest. “Iowa, you have shocked the nation,” said former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg. However, that did not stop Mayor Pete from claiming victory, late Monday night, even while no official results had been…

Heading into the critical impeachment votes, Democrats and their media allies were working overtime to try to shame Republican senators into voting for ADDITIONAL witnesses and the ultimate removal of President Trump from office. (“Additional” is emphasized to draw attention to the fact that there were 18 witnesses with testimony presented in both the House and Senate – either live or via video.  Outside of Special Prosecutor Ken Starr, that is how witnesses were handled in the Clinton impeachment.  They did not appear on the floor of the Senate as…

An angry President Trump has said that any and all allegations being made by his former national security advisor in his soon to be released book are simply “false.” The president made these statements in the wake of lead Impeachment Manager Adam Schiff pushing to have Bolton testify, after the dramatic leak of the manuscript on Monday 1/27. Bolton allegedly claimed President Trump told him he would withhold aid from Ukraine unless the country agreed to investigate the Bidens. Rep. Schiff is now hoping Bolton could provide evidence of that.…

President Trump has blasted Democrat lawmakers, following their statements thus far in the Senate impeachment trial. He took to Twitter Thursday to state that their arguments, specifically those of lead impeachment manager Adam Schiff’s, were full of “lies and misrepresentations.” The president was particularly irate about the fact that his democratic accusers have ignored the facts of the many times that President Obama also held back foreign aid that was approved by Congress. During Wednesday’s hearings, Schiff called President Trump’s decision to withhold foreign aid to Ukraine funds highly unusual.…

The author of a new book, is saying that friends of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, believe that “something happened to him” affecting his physical and mental health during the two-year long Russia probe. The Washington Post’s Carol Leonnig, who is the co-author of the new book A Very Stable Genius about President Trump, described in interviews promoting the book, how difficult it was for some of Mueller’s close family and friends to watch his shaky testimony before Congress last summer. “Phil [Rucker] and I, my co-author, we are not medical professionals, but over and over…

After more than three years of promising to find a reason to impeach President Trump, Democrats finally achieved their objective on December 18, 2019.  The next constitutionally required step was simple and easy.  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was to send the Article over to the Senate to begin the trial phase.  That could have happened the next day – but it did not. The House rushed the impeachment process for two reasons – so they said..  They claimed that it would take too long for the Supreme court to decide…

It is possible – perhaps even probable – that Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders could win in both Iowa and New Hampshire.  In terms of delegates to the Democratic National Convention, Iowa has 49 delegates and New Hampshire has 33 – out of the 3979 regular delegates and the 771 so-called superdelegates that are designated by the Party.  The superdelegates will not be allowed to vote unless no one gets the required majority on the first ballot. If Sanders should win in the first two states, he will gain a psychological…

Just days after the Justice Department reversed course to recommend up to six months of prison time in his case, more than a year later after pleading guilty and offering to cooperate, Donald Trump’s first national security advisor, Michael Flynn, has requested to withdraw his guilty plea. Flynn and his attorneys are arguing that he’s been the victim of an “overzealous” Justice Department that has operated in “bad faith.” This move by Flynn’s new legal team comes just as Judge Emmet Sullivan bumped Flynn sentencing date — which was originally…

Criminally indicted Lev Parnas, the new “star witness” of the Dems, who they claim proves that Trump had former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, under surveillance, has now said, that text messages that seemingly suggested Yovanovitch was in danger, and being secretly monitored, were in reality just the ramblings of a “drunk.” Speaking to MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” a day after he provided a slew of new documents and text messages to House investigators, which made Democrats drool, Parnas repeatedly said prominent Trump donor Robert F. Hyde “wasn’t…
