Crossing the Rubicon


Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi waded across the Rubicon today ... announcing that the Democrats will go ahead with a Trump impeachment vote ASAP ... certainly before Christmas. This is a no-turning- back decision ... likely precipitated by Pelosi’s nose counting of the Yes votes by Democrats when the vote is taken ... and maybe by the pending Monday release of the FBI IG report on the validity of the FISA applications in 2016/17.

But there are a number of House Democrats in purple districts with their arms in slings after Pelosi coerced them into a commitment to vote for impeachment. To this observer, Pelosi is betting on a long-shot outcome for this process ... as, if things go as I expect in the Senate trial, as well as what might come out of the IG Horowitz and AG Barr investigations, Pelosi’s majority in the 2021 House might well be in jeopardy.

As Pelosi is wont to say of late, I “pray” so ...

Out on a Limb


Here's a first ... I am recommending an article I haven't completely read (I did watch the video) ... Andrew McCarthy's National Review Online recap of the FISA approval of the surveillance of Carter Page and into the Trump campaign. The reason I am doing this is because this piece has received kudos from the Powerline blog and many conservative radio and TV outlets. And the reason I have not thoroughly read it is because my IPad does not easily magnify it ... which is now, unfortunately, a requisite due to my failing eyesight. But I will go by these very strong recommendations to go out on a limb and pass it along ... see: National Review Online Story.

(My kind liberal readers can pretend that they read it and repeat Shiff's talking points as negating comments below.

The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight


How is it that Trump won this past election? It seemed impossible. Everything and everyone were against him ... the CIA, Hillary and the entire Clinton crime family, the FISA court, Black Lives Matter, the Muslim Brotherhood, the FBI, Planned Parenthood, the Mainstream Media, the Bush family, George Soros and his numerous well-funded tentacles, the NSA, the European Union's non-elected bureaucrats, one Gold Star family, "pussy" women, Hollywood's glitterati, snowflakes, the Congressional "Women in White", most university professors, Bernie Sanders, Chuck Schumer, the teachers' unions, Barack Obama's posse, even Trump's most dangerous foe, Valarie Jarrett, for heaven's sake.

What happened? This is impossible! It couldn't happen! Might it be that this formidable line-up of antagonists were impotent? That this was the gang that couldn't shoot straight? No, this can't be! Trump must have had outside help. Russia, that's it! Russia! Vladamir Putin obviously activated all his US sleeper cells left over from the 60s and 70s ... all those Vietnam protesters, all those grown-up left-wing tie-dye-wearing hippies ... and had them subvert Hillary's campaign ... and then vote for Trump.

Wait a damn minute! These are many of the same people as in the first paragraph! Something's wrong! It doesn't add up!

Please, dear reader, do not take this slam against the radical left as suggesting that this gang doesn't have any more ammunition. They clearly do have many more bandoleers and are still capable of doing serious damage with enough and sustained firepower. If it does become clear that Obama's gang did tap Trump Tower phones, then I expect them to switch to howitzers. So, expecting this group to give up is naive and could be fatal!
