Dems Have Had A Chance To Show They Care For The Rule Of Law For Over 20 Years — And Failed

Posted on January 24, 2020 by Wayne Dupree

The Articles of Impeachment were a forgone conclusion, from the morning after the election, and before the then-GOP candidate, Donald Trump took over the Presidency.

The only question was which specific charges would be included. But, as Nancy Pelosi has infamously said earlier, you have to vote FOR them, to find out what they may contain.

The Democrat party has proven itself wholly and utterly unfit to lead. IF they had any involvement in the incredible past three years of economic development and wealth creation, they would at least be able to say they did something of value.

Still, they did nothing but “protest,” complain, and lie to the American people at every turn. The results of the upcoming election will be theirs to own, as voters take them to task for their failures. Seventy-five million (75,000,0000), that’s the number of votes Trump will get this election. Mark my word. Republicans will win at least one more seat in the Senate, and the Democrats will lose the House. You’ll see.

Democrats had the chance to show how much they care about Rule of Law numerous times over the past 20 years, starting in the late 90s with Clinton’s impeachment, and their vote that obstruction of justice didn’t warrant impeachment, to “sanctuary laws” and pretending immigration law is exempt from the concept of Rule of Law.

Rep. Adam Schiff keeps saying that there is overwhelming evidence that has been presented, and “the extensive evidence” that was collected in the House impeachment process will be given. So if the House has done its job, there’s no need for additional witnesses, and the Senate can make their determination on the case the House managers present.

Remember, every “star” witness called by the Democrats was asked on cross-examination if they witnessed the president committing any crimes – and everyone said “no.”

Let’s say this again. It is NOT the responsibility of the Senate to find evidence. That task is up to the House of Reps, which is what they are supposed to use to decide whether to bring Articles of Impeachment. Obviously, they’ve decided to bring Articles of Impeachment and then try to find evidence to support them.

This is just a bunch of nervous Democrats fearing that if they don’t get rid of a president that is getting closer to exposing their dirty games and affecting their bank accounts, they will be out of a job.

Senate trials have ONE purpose. To remove officials who have done very serious crimes. Bill Clinton committed a felony (lying under oath), and he was not removed. Nixon committed a felony and resigned instead of going through a Senate trial in which he would have been pronounced guilty. What we are looking at here are hardly crimes, if crimes at all. They certainly are not worthy of a Senate trial.

Once you understand that, you know that this could be nothing other than a sham.

Long, Drawn-Out Trials Are No Way to Convince Anyone of Anything

Posted on January 23, 2020 by LifeZette

By David Kamioner | January 23, 2020

If either side in the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump believes they are benefiting from the non-stop talkfest they are currently engaging in they are sorely mistaken.

The current schedule calls for 24 hours, 24 hours!, of incessant gabbing by the Dems, broken up over three days. Then the GOP gets a crack using the same timeline. 48 hours of political chin-wagging in total.

Yup, 24 hours of continuous talk from politicians on both sides will do the rhetorical trick, ya think? Oh it may convince people of something. It’ll convince them for the need of a noose or a revolver loaded with one bullet after having to endure the kind of torture that would have made WWII Japanese POW camp guards swoon with envy.

It’s a given that pols love the sound of their own voices. But they don’t generally love the sound of the voices of other pols. Does either side actually think that after hour upon hour of verbal assault a senator is going to rise and cry out, “I see it now! I change my vote!”

Not very likely.

This bad sequel to “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” cannot be designed to sway voters either. What sane voter wants to hear 2 days of a political diatribe even if they agree with half of it?

If you’ve watched the total proceedings to this point, as I have, then you’ve seen the Dems make the same points over and over again. The GOP lawyers will no doubt do the same thing. Thus, the worse indictment of this court schedule?

It’s bad television.

The only possible motivation is to draw out the process. It’ll benefit the GOP, as a tired public will grow more weary of impeachment with every passing day.

It’ll benefit the Pelosi-picked House managers because it gives them national exposure and hours of free advertising.

It may also benefit Biden and other Dem candidates by keeping senatorial candidates Warren, Sanders, and Klobuchar stuck in the Senate while other contenders merrily hop across Iowa.

It is 2020 and the average consumer and voter attention span is that of a flea. Thus 48 hours of excruciating political theater must be seen as a tad too much.

The Dems seem to want to take up every second of it with never-ending argle bargle. When they get their shot in a couple of days hopefully the GOP won’t be so self-obsessed

Pro-Life Advocates Arrested Outside Nancy Pelosi’s Office

Posted on January 23, 2020 by LifeZette

By John Wesley Reid | January 23, 2020

Nine pro-life abolitionists were arrested yesterday outside of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office on Capitol Hill.

On the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision to standardize the regulatory limits of abortion nationwide, a group of abolitionists made their voices known that Pelosi’s influence in blocking pro-life legislation was not acceptable. The group included members of the newly founded Stanton Public Policy Center, which, in conjunction with the pro-life healthcare provider, Stanton Healthcare, is pushing for pro-life policies internationally.

The particular legislative blocks that the group was protesting about were laws that would have required abortionists to provide ambulatory care for babies who survive botched abortions.

“It is unacceptable that we as a nation would ever think that it would be okay to pass legislation in states that would allow for a baby to be killed after a botched, late-term abortion,” Stanton founder and CEO Brandi Swindell told LifeSiteNews.

Video captured by LifeSiteNews shows the demonstrators being arrested:

“There are people alive today who survived abortions, and their lives have just as much dignity and value as any other human being,” one advocate said, then asking that Pelosi would “see the value in those infants who are left aside in a bucket, to look at them with the dignity that she looks at America.”

The event was covered in prayer by Rev. Patrick Mahoney, director of the DC-based Christian Defense Coalition. Mahoney is well-known in DC as an advocate for justice and minister of the gospel at various events in the district.

“These little babies are fighting to survive an attempt for their life to be taken out, and then we give abortionists another opportunity to kill that baby? It’s wrong. It is not who we are as a society. It is barbaric. And so all of us here today, we represent the millions of Americans that reject abortion or reject late-term abortion. And so today was a moment of strength, it was a moment of power, it was a moment of speaking truth to power,” Swindell added.

The sit-in, branded as the Purple Sash Revolution, was held two days before the nation’s largest pro-life demonstration, the March for Life. On Friday, January 24th, tens of thousands of pro-life advocates will gather on the National Mall to hear from influential speakers in the pro-life community. After the rally, the crowd will march from the National Mall to the Supreme Court.

This year’s keynote speaker is President Trump who will be the first-ever sitting president to attend the March for Life in person. Trump has spoken to the crowd from the White House via satellite and Vice President Mike Pence has attended the event in person, but this will be the first time a sitting president has taken the opportunity to address the crowd directly in person.

Trump tweeted a video from last year’s March for Life while expressing his excitement to attend saying, “See you on Friday…Big Crowd!”

March for Life President Jeanne F. Mancini provided the following statement regarding President Trump’s attendance:

“We are deeply honored to welcome President Trump to the 47^th annual March for Life. He will be the first president in history to attend and we are so excited for him to experience in person how passionate our marchers are about life and protecting the unborn. From the appointment of pro-life judges and federal workers, to cutting taxpayer funding for abortions here and abroad, to calling for an end to late-term abortions, President Trump and his Administration have been consistent champions for life and their support for the March for Life has been unwavering. We are grateful for all these pro-life accomplishments and look forward to gaining more victories for life in the future.”
