Winners and Losers

The media likes to list winners and losers from every confrontation between the two main-stream political parties. The media’s views of these events often lean towards their own particular political ideologies.

Without a doubt the Republicans were the winners and the Democrats were the losers from the Mueller hearings on Wednesday. Even far left media outlets like CNN agreed. Chris Cillizza at CNN noted,

If Democrats hoped that Mueller would easily bat away Republican attacks — on him and on his report — they were sorely disappointed in the opening moments of his testimony. Mueller seemingly contradicted himself (and the report) when he told Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, the ranking Republican member on the committee, that collusion and conspiracy were not the same thing.

Mueller Bombs Out

The circus was in town in Washington, but the clowns did not show up. In what was characterized by most media outlets including those friendly to the Democrats as a bad day, Robert Mueller came off as what we thought he was. A figurehead for the investigation. A public face who was supposed to bring credibility.

Mueller didn’t pick his team. The DOJ/FBI team was already carrying out the “insurance policy” when he arrived. They had come over from the bogus Crossfire Hurricane counter-intelligence investigation. Mueller was selected by them.

The coup plotters were behind the scenes trying to find something, anything that they could pin on the President. Trying to trap PDJT into an obstruction of justice charge was the principal activity of Mueller’s team. Mueller would have been the face of reason in presenting such evidence.

Clown Show

Tuesday’s clown show in the House of Representatives shows just how far off the rails the Democratic Party has gone. After Speaker Pelosi had been ruled out of order by the House Parliamentarian for referring to PDJT as racist, the Democrats restored her speaking privileges showing that they do not believe that they have to follow the rules.

Moonbat Crazy

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.

Soap, Toothbrushes And Blankets

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.”

The Ghost Of Watergate

sunbeam June 13, 2019 Comments Off

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.

Pelosi Cracks The Whip

sunbeam June 5, 2019 Comments Off

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.

CNN Supports Congressional Abuse Of Power

sunbeam June 4, 2019 Comments Off

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.

DHS Killing Children

sunbeam May 29, 2019 Comments Off

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.
