Impeachment-Much Ado About Nothing?
First and foremost, President Donald Trump will not actually be
impeached.
The media is attempting to make us worried about this issue,
similar to how they covered Russian interference in the 2016 presidential
election and a slew of other issues that have proven inaccurate for several
years now.
The reality is that all of this frenzy is completely misguided and
unnecessary.
In order for President Trump to be impeached, 67 Senators need to
vote for impeachment. Republicans currently hold 51 seats in the Senate. So the
Democrats would need 18 Republicans to vote for impeachment.
Sure, maybe one or two Republicans might play along… but 18? No
way on earth. Again, President Donald Trump will not be impeached.
Secondly, if the House of Representatives did push to get an
impeachment trial underway in the Senate, it would backfire in a spectacular
fashion. A Senate impeachment trial allows both sides to call witnesses and
present evidence. Meaning… President Trump and his army of top tier lawyers
would be permitted to call witnesses, question them, and present evidence.
Put simply, unlike this current impeachment “inquiry” taking place
in the House of Representatives (which isn’t even a legitimate thing in
legislative terms), a Senate impeachment trial would be a whole other ballgame.
And it would allow President Trump and his associates to go
“scorched earth” in their defense and their
efforts to reveal the corruption that took place in the Ukraine.
That would be a nightmare for the Democrats [and for Joe Biden].
And finally, there is something that no one seems to have noticed…
If a Senate impeachment trial took place, it would require ALL
Senators to be in D.C.
This would include Senators that are currently out on the campaign
trail for the 2020 presidential election – Warren, Sanders, Harris, Booker,
Klobuchar, and Bennet. Put another way, all six of those Senators would no
longer be able to campaign for weeks if not months.
Again, President Trump will never be impeached. This current
impeachment inquiry will go nowhere. And if anything, it’s going to backfire on
the Democrats because it requires them using energy, capital, and resources to
pursue something that will ultimately prove to be a dead end.
If you don’t believe me, consider what the stock market is saying
about this…
Typical of leftist
operatives…work the public into a frenzy, then host a circus to hype it…even if
the majority of voters are against it.
Radio host Hugh Hewitt
says it is vital that Republicans “stick with the facts” and avoid exaggeration
during the impeachment inquiry, as it “distracts from the need to drive home
the more important point” that Democrats are denying the president due process.
“What needs defending is that not only did Trump not commit an impeachable
offense, he committed no offense at all,” Hewitt writes in a Washington Post
column. Read More Here

P.S. I
hope you make time for is Giving Tuesday on December 3rd (or later if you miss
it). Here's how it's described: "Giving Tuesday is a global generosity
movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their
communities and the world on December 3, 2019 and every day. It was created in
2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good."
How you choose to do
good is your choice. Whether it's giving to the Salvation Army red kettle,
donating time to a non-profit or passing out blankets to the homeless. Whatever
you do will be a blessing to those less fortunate.
Ecommerce
giants (those doing over $1 billion in yearly revenue) have seen a 62% boost in
sales this season vs. a 27% increase for smaller retailers.
The Average Order Value (AOV) set a new record
for Black Friday (at $168), up 5.9% YoY.
Trump’s Economy is apparently doing rather well for the average
family!
News of Note
The For The People Act of 2019 is a bill introduced and passed in the United
States House of Representatives to expand voting rights, limit partisan
gerrymandering, strengthen ethics rules, and limit the influence of private
donor money in politics…
This anti-free speech act was introduced by none other than Nancy
Pelosi.
H.R. 1, better known as the “For the Politicians Act,” would
institute sweeping new limitations on speech about campaigns and public
affairs. This radical bill would, in fact, greatly harm the ability of the
people to freely speak, publish, and organize into groups to advocate for
better government.
In particular, H.R. 1 would impose onerous and unworkable
standards on the ability of Americans and groups of Americans to discuss the
policy issues of the day with elected officials and speak to the public. Other
sections of the bill would violate the privacy of advocacy groups and their
supporters, stringently regulate political speech on the Internet, and compel
speakers to include lengthy government-mandated messages identifying some of
their supporters by name in their communications. H.R. 1 would also coerce
Americans into funding the campaigns of candidates with which they may disagree
in a system that research has proven hasn’t worked elsewhere. If signed into
law, all of these provisions would be interpreted and enforced by a newly
partisan Federal Election Commission.
The bill’s provisions are so complex and open to so many possible
interpretations that the Institute’s views on the bill may well understate the
chill this legislation might place on speech. To this end, the Institute for
Free Speech has created a variety of resources that highlight the many First
Amendment problems in H.R. 1.
“A new Heartland
Institute and Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that
69% of all Likely U.S. Voters rate a free-market economic system as better than
socialism. Just 12% think socialism is a better economic system, but 18% are undecided.

Preparedness
Prepper and survivalist are not synonymous terms. Yes, there
is a lot of cross-over between the two types of individuals, but the skill
level and focus of each makes them mutually exclusive terms.
Preppers are focused on stockpiling
supplies to use when bugging in or at a bugout location - and having the skills
to use them. More often than not, the quantity of supplies outweighs the amount
of survival skills honed.
Survivalists are more heavily focused
on the skills they possess to get them through an SHTF scenario - with usually
no more stockpiled preps than can be carried in a rucksack on their back...
Are You A Prepper Or
Survivalist?
If you’ve decided to stock up on
emergency supplies but don't have a lot of money, you’ll be glad to hear that you can
buy several of your necessities on the cheap at any ordinary dollar store.
In my town we have a Dollar General and
a Dollar Tree, so last weekend I went walking around both of them to see how
many emergency supplies I could find. I jotted down what I saw and ended up
with a list of several dozen items that would be useful during a disaster.
Here are the top 40 survival items you
can find in dollar stores...40 Emergency Supplies You Can Find In Dollar Stores
“The trend of girls being less
active than boys is concerning,” study co-author Dr Leanne Riley, of the WHO,
said in a statement Friday. “More opportunities to meet the needs and interests
of girls are needed to attract and sustain their participation in physical
activity through adolescence and into adulthood.”
Most
countries in the study — 73% — saw this gender gap widen between 2001 and 2016.
SUN
CITY, Ariz.—When this Phoenix suburb opened on January 1, 1960, it was billed
as the original retirement community. From above, it would look like a UFO
landing site, laid out in rings to mimic halos surrounding the sun. Just past
the entrance, a billboard flanked by rows of palm trees promised “An Active New
Way Of Life.”

Frankly, this is a BS sideshow from Dems & most everyone I know is sick of it this sham; indeed, it's raising support for Trump in our neck of the woods.
In all my years I've never seen such crap by a political party & biased media. I tried to get our cable company to remove CNN from our lineup; they couldn't do it. They're swine wallowing in the socialist muck.
One would think by now even the idiots in the Dem party would wake up to the hypocrisy and lunatic sham they're foisting on America...at the very least, even the head-in-the-sand loyalists to them would see this is foul.
