Moonbat crazy. It is the only way to describe what happened in the House on Tuesday. Speaker Pelosi speaking as a member not as speaker broke the Rules of the House and had her speaking privileges revoked by the House Parliamentarian. It is the first time in decades that a member has had this happen and for it to happen to the Speaker is highly unusual.
Over the years it has been very unusual to find something that the Democrats wouldn’t spend money on. The Party has universally been big spenders when it comes to using taxpayer money. Faced with a problem, their answer is almost always “spend more money.” Rarely do they ever look to find out the root causes of a problem. They epitomize a most terrifying sentence that was made famous by President Reagan.
“I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
A little humor to start the weekend.
Hat Tip…ZM
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.
During the mid-term election campaigns last year, Pelosi had given strict instructions to those who were running for office not to speak the “I” word, that is, impeachment. If the question came up, the candidates were to deflect, dissemble and otherwise avoid answering the question.
“This election cannot be about impeachment. I don’t think it’s in the interest of America’s working families to focus on that, unless we have more to go on, which we don’t at this time. I think it’s not unifying for the country.”
Pelosi wasn’t worried about the country. She knew that it would hurt the chances of Democratic candidates if they showed support for the idea of impeachment. That would hurt her chances of becoming Speaker of the House again. The Democrats were to campaign on “governing” and bringing “civility” back to Washington. In other words they were to lie to the public and pull the wool over the public’s eyes about their real intentions.
A week or so ago, Julie Pace, an anti-Trumper who pretends to be an impartial journalist, went on CNN, the network that is shedding employees like there is no tomorrow. And that may be the case for CNN. Pace reported that Pelosi knows that she cannot win an impeachment proceeding. The Senate will not convict on whatever made-up charges that the Democrats concoct. Pelosi and her entrenched Democratic brethren are not interested in pursuing legitimate legal inquiries into PDJT. They are a lot more interested in doing opposition research for the 2020 election and “impeachment” proceedings may be the vehicle for doing that.
The clown show continues in Washington. Every time I think that the Democrats could not stoop any lower in their quest for more power or to keep the power they have, they prove me wrong. Apparently complete derangement is setting in.
Last week during a House committee hearing with the acting Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin McAleenan, congresswoman Lauren Underwood (D-IL) accused Homeland Security of intentionally killing migrant children.
In what historians will undoubtedly debate as a master stroke, PDJT announced on Friday that the tariffs on aluminum and steel from Canada and Mexico had been removed. At the same time Canada and Mexico removed their tariffs on American goods. All of this is expected to be in effect by Monday, May 20th.
Bloomberg…President Donald Trump said the U.S. will lift steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada and Mexico, boosting efforts to encourage lawmakers to ratify a new North American trade deal (USMCA).
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) outlines the political motives of Jerry Nadler (Chair-House Judiciary Committee) and his fellow Democrats in moving to cite AG Barr for contempt of Congress. As Jordan states forcefully, Barr was being cited because he refused to break the law.
The Democratic Party is in full-blown meltdown mode. During the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Senator Maxie Hirono (D-HI) went off the rails and accused AG Barr of lying on more than one occasion to Congress. A case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) as bad as this has never been seen in public before.
During the committee hearing, Sen. Hirono called on Attorney General William Barr to resign, saying he is no different from others in the Trump administration who have sacrificed “their once decent reputations for the grifter and liar who sits in the Oval Office.” Kamala Harris of California trying to revive her failing campaign for the Democratic nomination joined in the demand for Barr to resign. Although Sen. Hirono asked several questions of Barr, she never gave him a chance to answer.
