Pelosi Sets a High Bar for Impeachment Inquiry: ‘Ironclad’ Proof   Billy House...Bloomberg


House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, offering her most expansive view of the impeachment probe to date, said she decided to advance the inquiry into President Donald Trump after his phone call with Ukraine’s leader provided her with the “clarity” that prior allegations against Trump lacked.
Pelosi said the partial transcript of Trump’s July 25 conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stood in sharp contrast to the less clear-cut allegations in Robert Mueller’s special counsel report. That phone call — where Trump is heard urging Zelenskiy to investigate Joe Biden — was a “bombshell” that peeled away her initial reluctance to take the politically divisive step.
“What happened in that phone call undermined the separation of powers, coequal branches of government, checks and balances on each other,” the California Democrat said in an interview Friday with Bloomberg reporters and editors.
She also acknowledged the risks to her party and to her House majority — saying any case made to impeach the president “has to be ironclad.” At the same time, she acknowledged Democrats have a limited amount of time to make it, suggesting the investigation and a decision on drafting articles of impeachment won’t drag on long.
“The public has only so much space for drama,” she said. “When does the law of diminishing returns set in? When is the value added not worth the time?”

Jim Jordan Gets Up And DESTROYS Adam Schiff


COMMENT.....
I'm starting to think Shifty Schiff is the Whistleblower, himself. Let's just say I wouldn't be surprised if he was. The Democrats are scared to death about Barr's investigation, and we're starting to get a few pieces of what's getting ready to come out.

Sean Hannity Looked Into the Camera and Shut Down Adam Schiff With One Reality Check

Adam Schiff’s free ride in trying to take down Donald Trump with his rigged impeachment witch hunt is over.

The truth about Schiff’s crimes against the American people are bubbling up to the surface.

And Sean Hannity looked into the camera and shut down Adam Schiff with one reality check.

Even the selective leaks emanating from Schiff’s secret dungeon have not set forth facts that support any claim of criminal conduct by President Trump. What is going on here is the criminalization of policy differences and the creation of a process to legitimize the raw hatred Democrats and the permanent political class have for Donald Trump.

Ken Starr does go on to say that even it will be very difficult for Schiff to justify his behavior.


Starr, who is the former Whitewater independent counsel.gives his thoughts on Adam Schiffs impeachment inquiry

If Adam Schiff has his way, President Trump will be removed from office and thrown in prison.

He is running a secret court to try to achieve that sick goal.

But he was left speechless when the last person expected ended his career.

If there’s anybody who knows about corruption, it’s Ken Starr, who is the former Whitewater independent counsel.

He knows how to run an actual investigation of national importance.

And he had a few choice words for Adam Schiff, who is hoping to take out President Trump with his
behind closed-doors impeachment inquiry.
Starr points out that the way Schiff is operating his investigation will not be looked upon in a positive light in the history books.

According to Starr, Schiff is going completely away from tradition in
his coup attempt against President Trump.

Senate Republicans Shift to More Somber Tone on Impeachment11/01/2019   by: AAN Staff

Senate Republicans Shift to More Somber Tone on Impeachment

Senate Republicans have taken a more somber tone in the impeachment inquiry of President Trump as it becomes apparent accusations against the president will not quickly be dismissed.

Per
The Hill:
Earlier this year, GOP senators pledged to quickly quash any articles of impeachment passed by the House. But as the Democrats compile more evidence that Trump withheld military assistance from Ukraine to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, they are adopting a more sober tone.

While no Senate Republican has said the charges against Trump rise to the level of being an impeachable offense, many have expressed concern over the drip-drip of damaging revelations.
Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.) was the latest GOP senator to express concerns Wednesday even though he argued that the House has yet to provide any evidence that would support actually removing Trump from office.

Asked Wednesday if he had any concerns at all in light of recent reports on Trump's efforts to pressure Ukraine, Scott said, "There's lot of things that concern me." 
At the same time, Scott said there's no reason to impeach the president.

NPR Issues Glowing Homage To Slain ISIS Leader al-Baghdadi


(Tea Party 247) – The way the left has been responding to the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is more like satire than the real-life commentary of today’s leftists.

And that’s saying something in this day and age.

You would certainly expect the TDS-deranged left to be bitter and cynical at the death of the vicious, murderous ISIS leader, downplaying the role Trump played or warning ISIS will rise again, but no.

They’ve gone full al-Baghdadi crazy. 

These people are so crazily against Trump, they are actually trying to convince themselves that this guy was somehow admirable.

In the wake of the news of the extraordinary military victory over ISIS, NPR gushed over the slain leader, describing him as a “real leader” who spearheaded a “movement we’ve never seen before.”
During a roundtable discussion about al-Baghdadi’s death, NPR reporter Greg Myre stopped just short of actually praising a man who personally beheaded three Americans and enslaved, raped, and ultimately killed an American woman. 

“He led a movement that we’ve never seen before,” Myre said. “ISIS had tens of thousands of members, fighters, coming in from all over the world.”
“They controlled massive amounts of territory — in Eastern Syria and Western and Northern Iraq,” Myre said, adding ISIS had “millions of people under their control.”
“They administered cities, they collected taxes,” Myre said.

“They had this incredible online recruit presence in terms of spreading propaganda; recruiting followers,” he continued. “This is a guy that sort of emerged on the scene.” 

“And led this group that had done something we’d never seen before,” Myre gushed.
He went on to claim that al-Baghdadi was a “real leader” and that it would be difficult for ISIS to find a replacement. 

Yeah, this is kind of why we killed him. 

Of course, the Washington Post drew widespread disdain after publishing an obituary of al-Baghdadi as an “austere religious scholar” who simply “died.”
Really? 

This is insane. This guy was an absolute monster.

'This Ain't Over': Doug Collins Calls on Schiff to Testify About His Relationship With the Whistleblower     Katie Pavlich Posted: Oct 31, 2019

Republican Congressman Doug Collins is calling on House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff to testify as a witness after Democrats moved forward with their impeachment resolution Thursday morning.
"Come to the Judiciary Committee and take every question asked of you [Schiff]. Be the first witness and take every question asked of you, starting with your own involvement with the whistleblower. Folks, this ain't over. Get ready. The cloud that is dropping will be dropping on their heads because process matters and substance will always win out in the end and this president has nothing to worry about on substance," Collins said.
Collins wants to know what Schiff's relationship is with the whistleblower, who kicked this process into high gear. This is why:

Why Do Americans Spend More On Halloween Than Politics?
10/31/2019  Source: American Update 

Why Do Americans Spend More On Halloween Than Politics?  Wikimedia Commons 
According to new figures, Americans spend more money on Halloween than they do on important political causes and candidates. As The Western Journal reports:

As our kids fight over candy and costumes, Halloween 2019 is set to be scarily expensive. According to the National Retail Federation, total Halloween spending will exceed $8.5 billion this year, with nearly 70 percent of Americans planning to celebrate the annual sugar bonanza...


Meanwhile, political spending during a two-year election cycle pales in comparison to the holiday splurge that defines American consumerism. Election 2016’s final price tag — the heftiest in U.S. history — was about $6.8 billion for all federal elections (and an estimated $1 billion is double-counted)...

Despite the left’s constant fearmongering about “money in politics,” Americans are showing they care more about picking the right costume and chowing down Snickers bars than participating in the political process...

But that doesn’t stop Bernie Sanders from pledging to “transform our political system by rejecting the influence of big corporate money.” Or consider Democratic Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado, who has introduced the End Dark Money Act, purportedly “to bring transparency to the political activity” but realistically to stymie political activity he doesn’t support.
This discrepancy could be a big problem for conservative candidates and organizations fighting for American liberty in a Washington DC swamp which is currently flooded with money from Democrat billionaires like George Soros.

If Americans want to see more conservative candidates help President Trump drain the swamp they will have to find a way to financiailly support them. 
Adam Schiff Worried All Hell Will Break Loose When Three Impeachment Truths Go Public  3 days ago



House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff is rushing his impeachment witch hunt to a conclusion before anyone realizes Schiff is running a rigged game.

But Schiff’s scheme is in danger of collapsing.

And Adam Schiff worried all hell will break loose when three impeachment truths go public.

Republicans from President Trump on down – except for Democrat Party asset Mitt Romney – ripped Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi for running a secret, Stalinist style impeachment inquiry.

Witnesses testify behind closed doors and Schiff hides the transcript of their testimony under lock and key so Democrats can cherry-pick leaks to frame the President for this phony Ukraine scandal.

Trump ally North Carolina Congressman Mark Meadows – who sits on the House Oversight Committee and has attended the depositions Schiff held as part of his kangaroo court – sat for an exclusive interview with the Daily Caller where Meadows revealed three truths that would end the impeachment witch hunt.

“It’s just a matter of fairness,” Meadows told the Daily Caller. “It’s one thing to keep members of Congress out, it’s another thing to keep the American people out. But they’d had enough — we reached a boiling point, so a number of members who were not on the committees of jurisdiction had articulated that this may be one of the most important votes that they ever take.”


Update: A Townhall congressional source has confirmed CBS's and The Federalist's reporting.

Whistleblower's Identity Finally Revealed? 2019-10-31 Source: TTN

Despite desperate attempts to keep the whistleblowers identity a secret a new report suggests that they may have uncovered the name.

The person is a Democrat with connections to Obama, Biden, Brennan, and a DNC operative who dug up dirt on Trump and is connected to Ukraine  Alexandra Chalupa.

Chalupa is part of an FEC complaint filed by the pro-Trump Super PAC Committee to Defend the President.

The complaint alleges that Chalupa was hired by the DNC to specifically work with Ukraine to dig up dirt on Paul Manafort and President Trump. The complaint says Chalupa received aid from a foreign government against a political opponent while working in her official capacity for the DNC.

The corrupt Chalupa is also an ally of the alleged whistleblower,  Eric Ciaramella.

According to Real Clear Investigations:

But the name of a government official fitting that description — Eric Ciaramella — has been raised privately in impeachment depositions, according to officials with direct knowledge of the proceedings, as well as in at least one open hearing held by a House committee not involved in the impeachment inquiry. Fearing their anonymous  witness could be exposed, Democrats this week blocked Republicans from asking more questions about him and intend to redact his name from all deposition transcripts.

RealClearInvestigations is disclosing the name because of the public’s interest in learning details of an effort to remove a sitting president from office. Further, the official's status as a “whistleblower” is complicated by his being a hearsay reporter of accusations against the president, one who has “some indicia of an arguable political bias … in favor of a rival political candidate" -- as the Intelligence Community Inspector General phrased it circumspectly in originally fielding his complaint.

Federal documents reveal that the 33-year-old Ciaramella, a registered Democrat held over from the Obama White House, previously worked with former Vice President Joe Biden and former CIA Director John Brennan, a vocal critic of Trump who helped initiate the Russia “collusion” investigation of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.

And Ciaramella worked with a Democratic National Committee operative who dug up dirt on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, inviting her into the White House for meetings, former White House colleagues said. The operative, Alexandra Chalupa, a Ukrainian-American who supported Hillary Clinton, led an effort to link the Republican campaign to the Russian government. “He knows her. He had her in the White House,” said one former co-worker, who requested anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter.
One interesting accusation is that Ciaramella is responsible for numerous leaks including the leak that began the narrative that Putin directed Trump to fire James Comey.

This narrative was the catalyst for the investigation into Russian collusion with President Trump and his allies. This, of course, was proven by Robert Mueller to be wholly untrue.

Tom Brokaw Admits Democrats Don't Have 'The Goods' On Impeachment  10/31/2019 Source: American Update by: AU Staff

Tom Brokaw Admits Democrats Don't Have 'The Goods' On Impeachment

Legendary NBC anchor told colleguage Andrea Mitchell that the Democrats obviously didn't have 'the goods' on President Donald Trump for impeachment. As Breitbart reports:

NBC legend Tom Brokaw told an obviously disappointed Andrea Mitchell that Democrats do not have “the goods” to impeach President Trump.

Brokaw is on the road touting his new book, The Fall of Richard Nixon, which I can’t wait to read, and knows of what he speaks. At age 33, NBC handed him the White House correspondent’s job in the summer of 1973, one year after the Watergate break-in, eight months after Nixon’s resounding re-election victory, and a year before the president would be forced to resign in disgrace.

Speaking to Mitchell on the far-left MSNBC Tuesday, Brokaw said, “The big difference” between Trump and Nixon is that today, Democrats “still don’t have what you call ‘the goods’ on this president in terms of breaking the law and being an impeachable target for them.”

“They’re going to start the process, but they don’t have the same kind of clarity that the people who were opposed to Richard Nixon had because it was so clear that these were criminal acts that he was involved in,” he added.

While this fact has been obvious to most Republicans for months now, it's refreshing to see a longtime member of the liberal leaning media finally admit it publically. 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

The History of the Jack O'Lantern.

According to Irish folklore, a man called Stingy Jack was sentenced to roam the earth for eternity by the devil. A ghostly figure of the night, Jack walks with a burning coal inside of a carved out turnip to light his way. Irish folklore began to refer to this spooky figure as 'Jack of the Lantern' which then became 'Jack O’Lantern.'

We all know that Halloween started with the Irish festival of Samhain or 'All Hallows Eve', which then became known as Halloween. This was a time of year when the veil between this world and the next was at its weakest and spirits roamed the world. This legend is why people in Ireland began to make their own versions of Jack’s lantern by carving grotesque faces into turnips, potatoes and beets, placing them by their homes to frighten away Stingy Jack and other wandering evil spirits and travelers.

Irish migrants in the 19th century brought this legend across the Atlantic where they discovered that Pumpkins were easier to carve than Turnips. So it’s to an Irish character called Stingy Jack that we owe the origins of the modern Jack O'Lanterns.

GOP Rep Matt Gaetz Files Ethics Complaint Against Schiff 2019-10-30 by: TTN Staff 

GOP Rep Matt Gaetz Files Ethics Complaint Against Schiff

Pro-Trump Representative Matt Gaetz has filed a formal ethics complaint against impeachment inquiry leader Adam Schiff.

According to
Town Hall:

Rep. Matt Gaetz
@RepMattGaetz
I just filed an ethics complaint against @RepAdamSchiff over his handling of the impeachment inquiry into President Trump.
Schiff has lied to the American people and abused his power.
We won't allow him to continue trampling the Constitution.


Florida GOP Congressman Matt Gaetz has filed an ethics complaint against House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff for the way he has been handling the impeachment inquiry into President Donald J. Trump. Specifically, Rep. Gaetz says that Schiff has been "distorting  @POTUS ’s call with President Zelensky, Lying to the public about 'Russian collusion', and blocking members of Congress from attending impeachment depositions." 
"Nancy Pelosi's impeachment resolution gives unprecedented power to the Intelligence Committee Chairman, Adam Schiff," Gaetz told reporters ahead of filing his complaint. "That's deeply troubling to me for a few reasons. First, Adam Schiff has proven in this process that he cannot adhere to the fundamental principles of fairness. Second, and I would say most important for my work today, is that Adam Schiff has violated the ethical rules of the House of Representatives."

Citing a series of rules that Gaetz alleges Schiff broke, the congressman adds that "Schiff has lied to the American people and abused his power. We won't allow him to continue trampling the Constitution."

This complaint comes a day after Rep. Jim Jordan Ohio said that Rep. Schiff would not let Republicans on the Intelligence Committee question Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a key witness in the probe. "When we asked [Vindman] who he spoke to after important events in July, Adam Schiff says, 'no, no, no, we're not going to let him answer that question,'" Jordan said.
Gaetz has long been an ardent defender of President Trump and this latest move against Adam Schiff shows he is completely in his corner.
