What does it say about our country, when one political Party, the Democratic Party, deeply involved with the corruption in Ukraine, uses it as part of their effort to try and discredit the other Party’s candidate for President and then President, particularly after he begins to look into such corruption?
I’m not exaggerating when I say today, November 26, 2019, that it’s all out civil war in the United States, with false propaganda being the weapon assaulting the minds of the American people.
The effort of the House-led Democrats to steamroll a majority of Americans into accepting that President Trump committed impeachable offenses because they say so has failed.
In short, CNN ran a false story saying that Representative Devin Nunes met with the guy in Ukraine that Joe Biden bragged about getting fired through extortion because Joe's son was being investigated. Nunes, in response, has filed a lawsuit against CNN and The Daily Beast, charging them with deliberately spreading a false story.
This morning, Representative Nunes was live by phone on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo: “It is not OK to work with someone who has been indicted on serious federal crimes to build a media narrative and dirty up a member of Congress.”
Insane. Under the direction of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Intelligence Committee chair Adam Schiff, the House of Representatives voted on a resolution October 31 directing the House to “continue” an Inquiry to see if “sufficient grounds exist for the House...to impeach Donald John Trump, President...” The problem is, they seem to have forgotten that the whole House never voted on BEGINNING such an Inquiry!
Please news media, stop calling them impeachment hearings and “official impeachment inquiry.” There is nothing official or legitimate about it! The whole House of Representatives is required to vote on it to make it official. Carrying on the smokescreen, on Monday the Speaker announced there will be a full House vote Thursday on a resolution relating to impeachment, but, according to what Speaker Pelosi told the press on Monday is “not an impeachment resolution.”
Here come 503 more days of “opinion polls” saying again that Donald Trump will lose the election. This from major media engaged in what is essentially a blackout of attendance numbers at candidate rallies that would show tens and twenties and occasional hundreds at Democrat rallies versus TENS OF THOUSANDS at Trump rallies. People start getting in line to get into his rallies two to three days in advance.
Democrats in Washington, D.C., who have been lying for two years that they have evidence of something labeled collusion, now are saying in unison, Barr lied! They are so eager to be the next one to say it that we don’t even know what this lie is.
We do know that the Trump administration gave unprecedented access to the Mueller investigation for two years, and we do know Attorney General Barr, who was not required to give anyone access to the Mueller report, released the full report, with only a few redactions, about a month after he received it.
Another work week begins. I wonder what the D.C. Collusioners...scratch that, never mind two-and-a-half years of perpetuating that hoax...the D.C. Obstructioners’ junta will be demanding of their subjects in the White House this week. “Ze papers, ve must have ze papers! Submit them now, Herr Trrrump!”
A New York Times article published on April 3 inaccurately summarized the letter Rod Rosenstein, acting in the stead of recused Attorney General Sessions, sent to President Trump recommending the removal of James Comey as FBI Director.
If Donald Trump was a Putin puppet, they wouldn't hold that information back (magically without leaks) for two years while Russia was supposedly taking over America through a traitor in the White House. If that were the case, the ones supposedly saving us from this "takeover" are doing one heckuva job, aren't they?
For the last two-and-a-half years and continuing to this day, there has been a false story being perpetrated that is still believed by a large number of Americans.
The false story is that President Trump was elected only because Russians convinced enough of us to vote for him and beat Hillary Clinton and that the President, ever since he was elected, answers to the beck and call of Russian leaders and even Vladimir Putin himself.
Several people now have pled or been convicted of crimes because they associated with Trump. Michael Cohen even pled guilty to a bundle of crimes that include non-crimes. If Flynn, Cohen, and Manafort had not associated with Donald Trump, no charges would ever have been brought against them.
A recent Mercatus working paper from George Mason University that detailed the tremendous cost of Bernie Sanders’ health care plan spread like wildfire the last few days with false headlines from Leftist media outlets saying it showed government health care spending would decrease by 2 trillion dollars.
President Trump hit the mark yesterday in his press conference with Vladimir Putin. Instead of following the direction the press wanted to go, accusing Putin of turning the 2016 election in Trump’s favor.
As preparations are being made for President Trump’s meeting next with Russia’s leader Vladimir Putin, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced Friday that Special Prosecutor Mueller had charged 12 Russian intelligence officers with crimes related to the 2016 hacking of the Democratic National Committee. That’s right, the investigation meant to prove President Trump worked hand-in-hand with Vladimir Putin to fix the 2016 election, again presents results that show no collusion.
During the 2016 Presidential campaign I reported, once in September and again a few days before Election Day, that a composite of polling indicating rising support for Donald Trump was proof that the widely held belief and/or propagandizing going on that Trump could not win needed to be reconsidered. In other words, Trump could win.
On Friday morning, President Trump tweeted the following: “Wow, the highest rated (by far) morning show, @foxandfriends, is on the Front Lawn of the White House. Maybe I’ll have to take an unannounced trip down to see them?” He then proceeded to do just that.
Amazing how the Leftist talking heads are determined to outdo their propagandized portrayal of Donald Trump. Example 1, Samantha Bee: “The fracas started when Bee lambasted President Donald Trump about reports of more than 1,500 missing migrant children allegedly lost by Customs and Border Protection. The host went on to accuse Ivanka Trump, who serves as an adviser to the president and has positioned herself as a leading voice of feminism in the administration, of inaction.”
If the GW Bush administration had the CIA director and people in the FBI and Department of Justice spying on and investigating the Obama campaign throughout 2008 for unspecified illegal acts that were still unspecified two years later (no proof of anything illegal, just “connect the dots”), I’m certain the Democrats would not have been saying the Obama administration exceeded its authority by investigating alleged malfeasance and abuse of power by individuals in the Bush administration.
While not knowing, at the time, the extent to which President Trump’s FBI Director was conspiring against him, James Comey was fired by the President on the recommendation of the Attorney General’s office. The firing of Comey was not obstruction of justice but part of an effort to stop what we now know to be an unconstitutional effort to conspire to overthrow the President of the United States.
