Lindsey Graham Gives Pelosi a Major Piece of his Mind on Impeachment    2020-01-20 Source: TTN by: TTN Staff 

Senator Lindsey Graham unloaded on Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently over the impeachment of President Trump.

According to the Daily Caller

Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham let loose Sunday on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, saying that she had “orchestrated the trial of holy hell” against President Donald Trump.
Graham was interviewed by Fox News' Chris Wallace...

Wallace began the segment by asking Graham about plans for the Senate trial, noting comments from several Republicans who had voiced the desire to get through it as quickly as possible. “How do you respond to the Democratic impeachment managers who say this is just a rush to get this over with?” he asked.

Graham immediately turned the argument on Speaker Pelosi, saying that he liked her but that she was not doing right by the president. “I like Nancy Pelosi. I have known her for years. She is a very religious person,” Graham said. “When it comes to Donald Trump, Nancy Pelosi may pray privately, but she’s orchestrated the trial of holy hell.”

Graham then argued that from day one, Democrats had hit President Trump with one thing after another. “You took 48 days to impeach this president,” he said. “You did not allow him to call any witnesses. He could not have a lawyer present during the House Intel Committee. This has been a partisan railroad job. And you’re asking for fairness in the Senate? You violated every norm of what we do.” Graham also noted that he supported the Mueller investigation and trusted him to reach a fair conclusion.

Lawsuits Filed Against House Democrats' Impeachment Witness 01/20/2020 Source: AAN by: AAN Staff 

                      Government watchdog Judicial Watch has filed two Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests on the alleged activities of former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie "Masha" Yovanovitch.

Yovanovitch was born in Canada after her parents fled the Soviet Union and then the Nazis. She moved with her family to Connecticut as a toddler, becoming a naturalized American citizen at the age of 18.

Yovanovitch served for years in senior positions with the United States Foreign Service, before her final posting as United States Ambassador to Ukraine.

Although she served under Democratic and Republican administrations, many argue that Yovanovitch's actions betray her liberal biases.

After President Trump fired Yovanovitch last year, Washington, D.C.'s bureaucratic class and their media enablers spun the story to undermine Trump.

However, new reporting suggests that while in Kyiv, Yovanovitch requested illegal monitoring of American citizens. (RedState)

Note that last item in particular, which is part of her real reason for having been posted to Kyiv. What could that illegal monitoring entail? Judicial Watch has been looking into the former ambassador’s activities and filed two Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits last week in order to obtain more information:

Judicial Watch is going to court to uncover details of the alleged monitoring of President Trump’s family, lawyer and journalists, as ordered by the since-recalled U.S. Ambassador to the Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch.The two Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits against the State Department for documents tied to the alleged monitoring of President Trump’s intimate circle and journalists covering him is an extension of our Judicial Watch investigation, which began in October 2019, into the alleged monitoring, via CrowdTangle and other means. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch is alleged to have ordered State Department entities to conduct the monitoring. The list of the alleged targets includes:

Jack Posobiec
Donald Trump Jr.
Laura Ingraham
Sean Hannity
Michael McFaul (Obama’s ambassador to Russia)
Dan Bongino
Ryan Saavedra
Rudy Giuliani
Sebastian Gorka
John Solomon
Lou Dobbs
Pamella Geller
Sara Carter

Amb. Yovanovitch reportedly ordered monitoring keyed to the following search terms: “Biden,” “Giuliani,” “Soros” and “Yovanovitch.”

Alyssa Milano, Hollywood Liberals, Triggered After 2nd Amendment Rally in Virginia

01/20/2020  Source: American Update by: AU Staff 

Far-left, Anti-Trump actress Alyssa Milano, along with the rest of Hollywood, had a full meltdown over a pro-second amendment rally in VA on Monday.

As The Daily Wire reports:

On Monday morning, tens of thousands of pro-Second Amendment Americans gathering at Virginia’s capital to express opposition to a spate of gun control bills pushed through by the Democrat-majority state congress and backed by controversial Democratic Governor Ralph Northam.

The gathering thus far has been completely peaceful, with rally attendees reciting the pledge of allegiance, singing the national anthem, and chanting “USA,” together.\

Still, the peaceful protesters were maligned by Hollywood elites and left-wing politicos.

“This is what’s happening in Virginia right now,” actress and activist Alyssa Milano captioned a video of gun owners walking to the protest Monday morning.

It seems that Hollywood liberals and their allies can ok with almost any behavior, however bizarre, except for American citizens exercising their constitutional rights

McConnell Creates 'Kill Switch' to Combat Schiff
2020-01-20 Source: TTN by: TTN Staff

                              Reports are indicating that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has created a "kill switch" that can be used by the President's defense team to quickly end the trial if Adam Schiff turns it into a circus.

According to The Daily Wire:

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has reportedly created a “kill switch” for President Donald Trump’s upcoming Senate impeachment trial that would allow for the president’s legal team to either seek an immediate verdict or a dismissal of the case if the trial descends into a circus spectacle.

“I am familiar with the resolution as it stood a day or two ago,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) told Axios. “My understanding is that the resolution will give the president’s team the option to either move to judgment or to move to dismiss at a meaningful time…”

“Hawley added that in the most recent draft of the organizing resolution he saw there was an option for the president’s counsel to make a motion in multiple places, including at the beginning of the proceedings,” Axios reported. “Hawley added that if the final resolution does not allow Trump’s lawyers the option to dismiss or move to judgment at a ‘meaningful point’ in the trial, he would be ‘very, very surprised,’ and might not vote for the organizing resolution.”

Hawley told Axios that if the option to dismiss the case was not available to the Trump legal team that it would give House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) too much power over the proceedings. President Trump wants the case dismissed immediately but some GOP Senators do not, citing that it would make the GOP's strong case against removal look weak.

Their sole allegiance is to the Quran.

93% of Muslim Public Officials Would Not Express Support for the Constitution They Swore to Uphold   Jan 7, 2020 By Stephen M. Kirby

It’s more than just about having three Muslims in Congress. I think symbolically it has great value, but I won’t rest until 2020 we have five more members of Congress; 2022 and 24, we have ten more Muslims in Congress. In 2030 we may have about 30, 35 Muslims in Congress.  Then we’re talking about Madame Chair Rashida. We’re talking about Madame Chair Ilhan. Hell, we could be saying Speaker of the House Ilhan, Speaker of the House Rashida, Senator Rashida, Governor Ilhan, President Fatima, Vice President Aziza, Inshah’ Allah…Each and every one of us has a directive to represent Islam, in all of our imperfections, but to represent Islam and let the world know that Muslims are here to stay, and Muslims are a part of America. And we will, we will have a Muslim caucus that is sizable, that is formidable, and that is there for you.

Virginia gun rally live updates: Speakers praise Trump, denounce Northam as massive rally unfolds peacefully.....Live Updating · Washington Post · 1h   

Hannah Natanson, Gregory S. Schneider, Laura Vozzella, Michael Miller, Patricia Sullivan 

                            Thousands of gun rights supporters from Virginia and across the country gathered in Richmond Monday for a rally in opposition to gun-control laws being advanced by the General Assembly’s new Democratic majority. After threats and indications of potential violence, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) ordered a state of emergency and banned guns from Capitol Square; other advocates who would normally come to the Capitol for citizens’ Lobby Day mostly stayed away. Those willing to shed their weapons listening to a series of speakers denounce the governor and decry any attempts to limit gun purchases. Others, who stayed, armed packed the streets outside the Capitol complex. Here’s some background on the events leading up to the rally, with live updates below:

Others displayed the infamous photo from Gov. Ralph Northam’s medical school yearbook, which depicted the governor in blackface.
Another man carried a gigantic Barrett M82A1 rifle, probably five feet long, and wore a helmet and body armor. “It’s to draw attention,” said Brandon Lewis, who said he owns an indoor shooting gallery in Upstate New York. He had driven down with his wife to show their support for gun rights.

“It’s a reminder to our politicians that government is by the people and for the people,” he said.

No, Virginia Hasn’t Descended Into Tyranny 

January 18, 2020 by Cam Edwards

As we get closer to Virginia’s Lobby Day on Monday, I’m seeing more and more hyberbolic posts on social media about how Virginia is now under the thumb of a tyrant, misinformation about non-existent bills being signed into law, and other attempts to gain attention or stoke people’s fear and anger.

To say this isn’t helpful is an understatement. We’re currently just a few weeks into Virginia’s legislative session, and the fact is, not one bad bill has become a bad law. Nothing’s been signed by the governor yet. In fact, nothing has even gotten to his desk at the moment. We’ve had three gun control bills pass out of the Senate, but the House hasn’t even had a single committee hearing on any gun control legislation. In fact, Virginia gun owners are actually having an impact on the debate in the legislature, thanks to the Second Amendment Sanctuary movement that’s swept across the state and has led to tens of thousands of engaged citizens contacting their lawmakers to oppose Ralph Northam’s gun control agenda.

I don’t believe that Northam has the authority to institute his gun ban in Capitol Square, but unfortunately the Virginia State Supreme Court didn’t reach the merits of the case brought by VCDL and GOA. Instead, the court ruled that the groups didn’t file the necessary paperwork with the Court, and refused the petition, leaving open the question of whether or not the governor has overstepped his constitutional authority.

As for Northam’s gun control legislation, here’s where things actually stand right now.

Ban on so-called “assault firearms,” magazines over ten rounds, suppressors, and trigger activators

There’s actually good news to report here. Sen. Dick Saslaw’s orginal ban on so-called “assault firearms” and hardware was killed in a Senate committee last week. Friday was the filing deadline for new legislation, and no new bill was introduced in the state Senate. That leaves HB 961 as the sole vehicle for a ban on the most commonly sold rifle in the country today, along with bans on commonly owned magazines and suppressors.

HB 961 contains a “grandfather clause” permitting current gun owners to maintain possession of their firearms, but only if they register themselves and their guns with the state. It’s an awful bill, and it would be an absolute infringement on the right to keep and bear arms, but it hasn’t even had a hearing yet. What’s more, at least four Virginia senate Democrats say they’re not on board with the language they’ve seen so far. Simply put, right now there aren’t enough votes to pass this bill in the Senate, even if it were to pass the House.

Trump's Lawyers Formally Answer Articles of Impeachment

Bronson Stocking   Posted: Jan 18, 2020


Source: AP Photo/Tony Dejak

The president's legal counsel formally responded to the two articles of impeachment leveled against the president, abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The deadline for House Democrats to file their trial brief was 5 p.m EST on Saturday. The president's answer to the two articles was due just an hour later. The president's lead attorneys, Jay Sekulow and Pat Cipollone, prepared Trump's six-page formal response to the articles.

"The articles of impeachment submitted by House Democrats are a dangerous attack on the right of the American people to freely choose their president," the formal answer reads. "This is a brazen and unlawful attempt to overturn the results of the 2016 election and interfere with the 2020 election, now just months away. This highly partisan and reckless obsession with impeaching the president began even before his election and continues to this day."

Trump's counsel argued the impeachment articles are "constitutionally invalid on their face" and are the result of a "lawless" House inquiry that violated basic principles of fairness and due process.

"The Articles of Impeachment now before the Senate are an affront to the Constitution of the United States, our democratic institutions, and the American people. The Articles themselves -- and the rigged process that brought them here -- are a transparent political act by House Democrats. They debase the grave power of impeachment and the solemn responsibility that power entails. They must be rejected."

In his answer, the president "categorically and unequivocally" denies "each and every" accusation leveled against him in both impeachment articles. Trump's attorneys then lay out a series of arguments as to why both articles of impeachment against the president must be rejected.

"In order to preserve our constitutional structure of government, to reject the poisonous partisanship that the Framers warned against, to ensure one-party political impeachment vendettas do not become the 'new normal,' and to vindicate the will of the American people, the Senate must reject both Articles of Impeachment. In the end, this entire process is nothing more than a dangerous attack on the American people themselves and their fundamental right to vote."

Earlier this week, the White House announced a few additions to Trump's legal team as they prepare to defend the president before the Senate. Former impeachment counsel and Whitewater investigator Kenneth Starr and Harvard University Law Professor Alan Dershowitz will defend the president in his upcoming trial. Former Florida attorney general and adviser to the president Pam Bondi, as well as Jane Raskin and Robert Ray will also take part in the president's defense.

Democrats And The ‘Reeducation’ Of The American People      Derek Hunter Posted: Jan 19, 2020
The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

Leftists love the concept of “reeducating” the public, the idea that we, the great unwashed, are too simpleminded to understand both complex issues of policy and what is best for ourselves in our own lives. (See this Bernie Sanders campaign employee advocating Gulags and reeducation camps for conservatives.) They have the answers, we’re just too stupid to allow them to impose those solutions. It’s the cornerstone of the progressive political philosophy – our moral and intellectual betters need to be empowered to shape our lives so they can make the world a better place. Hitler believed this, as did Stalin, Mao, and every other left-wing dictator who helped rack up 100 million dead human beings in pursuit of this Utopian ideal in the 20th century.

You’d think 100 million dead would give some people pause, but you’d be wrong. Modern progressives deflect the reality of their philosophical forefathers with answers like, “Stalin wasn’t a real communist, they should’ve followed Trotsky!” and “Hitler was a right-winger. Answers of this sort demonstrate an elementary school-level understanding of politics and history.

First, the idea that Stalin’s Russia wasn’t “real communism” ignores human nature and history. No totalitarian regime is about equality, be it under the banner of any progressive flag – communism, socialism, fascism, etc. The “leaders” always receive special treatment.

SCOTUS to Hear Faithless Electors Case By LifeZette | January 18, 2020 2:24PM  By David Kamioner | January 18, 2020
Most of us know that the way an American president is elected is that whichever candidate wins the popular vote in a state gets all the state’s Electoral College votes. Thus whoever gets to the magic 270 number in that Electoral College vote becomes president.

True.

Except for Maine and Nebraska, they have a proportional system. But for our purposes, since it really doesn’t matter here and they only split their vote once each (Nebraska in 2008 and Maine in 2016), we’ll bypass that detail.

However, it’s just not the projection of victory on election night but an actual physical vote. It takes place on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December after the presidential election. The electors meet in their states and cast votes for president and veep on separate ballots. Then on the 6th of January, the official count of those votes takes place in the House and a winner is certified by the sitting Vice President.

But what if the people charged to vote by their states, the electors, don’t keep faith with the vote of their states and vote the way they want to? Hence “faithless” electors.

Three nimrods from Washington state tried that in 2016. They voted for Colin Powell instead of Hillary Clinton, even though Clinton won the state. They were hoping to get other electors who voted for Trump to also change their votes to someone else. Their goal? Stop Trump at any price.

A Washington state court said horse manure and told the three they had to toe the line. A federal court in liberal Denver said nahhh, they can vote how they please. Now the Supremes have the case. They’ll hear the case in April and decide on it in June, in time for the upcoming presidential contest in November.

Like the opposition to the Brexit vote across the pond, this is the case of selfish elites trying to substitute their leftist will for the decision of a free people at the ballot box.

They got their clocks cleaned in the recent British election, as the pro-Brexit Tories romped to an 80 seat majority in the House of Commons. A similar fate awaits the arrogant American Left at the hands of the high court in June and via U.S. voters in November.
