Hong Kong On Fire

      Comments Off on Hong Kong On Fire

An interesting dynamic is playing out in Hong Kong.  Protests broke out a week ago over a proposed law that Carrie Lam, Hong Kong’s first female chief executive,  supports.  The law would allow extradition of Hong Kongers to mainland China.

Please note the use of the term Hong Kongers.  Although mostly descended from ethnic Chinese, the vast majority of the residents of Hong Kong do not consider themselves to be Chinese.  Hong Kong has had long experience (150 years) with Western rule-of-law concepts.  Additionally over 3 million people fled communist China in 1949 to the safety and freedom of Hong Kong.  Hong Kongers are not conditioned culturally, as many of those on the mainland are, to the acceptance of totalitarian forms of governance.

The Ghost Of Watergate

This week Chairman Nadler of the House Judiciary Committee opened impeachment hearings into PDJT’s conduct as President.  The fact that the entire Russia conspiracy investigation was without predication does not seem to bother the Chairman.  In order to “educate” the public and to cover up the malfeasance of the Obama administration, Nadler brought in convicted felon John Dean to give the public some historical context from the Watergate years.

The outcome of the Mueller investigation was that PDJT and his campaign were cleared of any criminal wrongdoing.  This covered the campaign and PDJT’s subsequent actions as President.  Of course, this infuriated the Democrats who will stoop to anything to oust Trump from the Presidency.

The Democrats have been trying to re-litigate the whole investigation. In order to smear the President, they called in John Dean as the ghost of Watergate past to cast aspirations on PDJT. Dean, who was White House counsel for President Nixon during the Watergate era, drew “parallels” between the scandal that led to President Nixon’s resignation and special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of the hoax that was the Russian government ties to the campaign of President Donald Trump.

Above The Law

Former Secretary of State and twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton acted in support of the Democratic playbook on impeachment Monday.  HRC posted on Twitter that the President is not above the law.  The current Democratic strategy is to advance the storyline that PDJT acts as if he is above the law.  This is supposed to plant in the public’s mind the false narrative that PDJT is routinely violating the law.  No facts are ever given to support this fantasy.
