Speaker
Pelosi is drifting into her own unintended nightmare.
Holding partisan hearings, working with the left-wing media to leak
and lie about President Trump, trying to weaken the President for re-election
would all make sense as a strategy of attrition. It would maximize the
advantage of the left-wing media-Democratic Party alliance and minimize any
downside risk.
However, by moving from investigation to impeachment, Speaker Pelosi
just gave up all of her advantages and opened up a nightmare for the Democrats.
It all comes from not thinking through the follow-on steps.
First, an impeachment process inherently raises questions of
fairness and sets up a standard which opens the Democrats up to charges of
hypocrisy and cheating. Having a leaker transformed into a supposed
whistleblower only works as long as the news media doesn’t get aroused enough
to dig into the facts. (“Leaker” is a more accurate term, since he or she did
not know anything first-hand on which to blow the whistle and simply leaked
hearsay while using the term whistleblower for publicity and legal protection).
The Kavanaugh hearings should have been a warning about the shift in
standards. Judge Kavanaugh could have been subjected to smears in the media as
long as they didn’t rise to the level of an official investigation. The minute
the smears became the subject of an official investigation, the standards
changed even for much of the left-wing media. The length of time Senator Dianne
Feinstein’s staff knew about an allegation suddenly became a national story.
Reporters began tracking down potential witnesses and undermining the
credibility of the accuser. Day-by-day, Judge Kavanaugh became stronger and his
accuser grew less believable. Then, in desperation, the Left produced less and
less believable secondary accusations. The Republicans, who controlled the
Senate Judiciary Committee, insisted that the drama play out until it became
clear that Judge Kavanaugh was being smeared. Today he is Justice Kavanaugh.
Speaker Pelosi and the House Democrats seem to have forgotten two
key steps in shifting from investigation to impeachment.
First, the House Republicans, the Trump White House, and the
non-left media (and to be fair even some leftists in the media) are now
demanding a higher standard of accountability and fairness in establishing due
process. The 2019 Democrats look pathetically unfair and dishonest compared to
both the Democratic controlled impeachment process of 1973 and the Republican
controlled impeachment process of 1998.
To go back to the so-called whistleblower, it is inconceivable that
he or she will remain anonymous. Accusing the President of the United States of
a “high crime” to use the Constitutional standard in secrecy is absurd. It
violates every principle of facing your accuser
As a practical matter, the continuous leaks (The New York
Times apparently knows the person’s name, identity as a
Democrat, and who they worked for) will guarantee that the person be identified
in the media in the very near future. If, as currently suspected, this person
turns out to be a Democrat who was actually talking with Democratic
presidential candidates, his or her credibility will be destroyed for the
average American.
If this impeachment effort gets to the Republican
Senate, do the Democrats really think no one is going to ask Hunter Biden what
he did for $600,000 a year from a Ukrainian natural gas company? Do they also
think no one is going to ask former Vice President Joe Biden if he really had
no idea his son was earning such a sum in Ukraine when he threatened to
withhold more than $1 billion in aid unless the prosecutor looking into his
son’s company was fired?
If the House Democrats move forward, and
Republicans get our second move in the Senate, Pelosi will regret the day she
learned to spell impeachment.

Trump stands
in the way of a complete socialist takeover of the United States – this is why
they are so relentless in their attempts at unseating Trump…I find too many,
especially those under age 30, are guzzling gallons of what I call ‘Communist
Kool-Aid.’
Overwhelming Numbers of the over 50
crowd DO NOT SUPPORT IMPEACHMENT
The liberal
media are trying to manipulate you.
That’s not an exaggeration. In order to push their propaganda, they distort the facts and even try to cover up stories that don’t further their leftist agenda.

There has been a trend for
years in the nutrition industry to push us more and more towards vegetarianism.
The idea of living off of nothing but vegetables probably appeals to people
like this, but that doesn’t necessarily make it right. While vegetables may be
great for providing us with a variety of necessary micronutrients, they aren’t
known for providing a lot of calories. That’s why people on diets tend to eat a
lot of salads and other green leafy vegetables.
“The IRS is committed to
helping taxpayers understand their tax obligations in this emerging area,” said
IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. “The new guidance will help taxpayers and tax
professionals better understand how longstanding tax principles apply in this
rapidly changing environment. We want to help taxpayers understand the
reporting requirements as well as take steps to ensure fair enforcement of the
tax laws for those who don’t follow the rules.”

Facial Recognition: DHS’s New Database, HART, Also Uses Scars, Tattoos, and

[Another reason I’ve warned against getting tattoos!]
The new cloud-based platform,
called the Homeland Advanced Recognition Technology System, or HART, is
expected to bring more processing power, new analytics capabilities and
increased accuracy to the department’s biometrics operations. It will also
allow the agency to look beyond the three types of biometric data it uses
today—face, iris and fingerprint—to identify people through a variety of other
characteristics, like palm prints, scars, tattoos, physical markings and even
their voices.

This has become an all-out war on mainstream Americans-I fear for the nation under this socialist assault by the leftist socialists.
Thanks for remaining a voice of reason!
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tapped Congressman Adam Schiff to call the shots on the Democrats' impeachment witch hunt.
Schiff is trying to hold the Democrats together while fooling the American people into supporting impeachment based on a fake scandal.
