“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!

Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. Psalm 119:18 KJV

Watching these hearings is like seeing SchifforBrains playing chicken with a brick wall and him expecting the wall to swerve. At what point do you finally realize the wall does not get hurt and your Party needs to stop even if the donors want him to go pedal to the metal? Oh well, it could not happen to a bigger pile of Schiff.

So far you have three disgruntled employees who were canned for incompetence still thinking they know better than the President even while continuing their gorging at the trough. The key moments of this complete abuse of power were the only questions which mattered was, Was the President guilty of any crimes? The answer from all three was no, done and end of your self-indulgent Schiff House bore-O-Rama. Is this Schiffy’s attempt at starring in The Apprentice? If so, your fired Schiffhead.

President Donald J Trump must be laughing at these maroons as they continue to make fools of themselves. This was a weeklong infomercial on why you should reelect Trump for President. When even his enemies say he is innocent of any malfeasance to prove guilt and after three years of investigation what more does America need to see? The guy must be the most honest person it has had in the office for decades and maybe ever?

Imagine last night’s debriefing with Nazi Pelosi when her teeth hit the floor from screaming about this complete fiasco? “So SchiffBreath what did you prove this week to the American people that is in any way a crime of bribery? His transcript of the phone call looks normal and I am going out claiming bribery and extortion from that? I pray you have something next week or we are going to be served with dressing and cranberries in two weeks.”

If there ever was an example of what not to do this is it. These denizens of the swamp are used to playing by swamp rules and Trump is playing by Trump rules. He is a Master of Marketing and sales while they are masters of graft and corruption. They have been so sheltered by their adoring press they have never had to do anything buy make a list of clichés while the mediots would fawn and faint over their brilliance.

Now they are under their own spotlight and having to perform with extremely limited skills. Meanwhile the cameras shift to Trump speaking with the Turkish President while working to protect the Kurds as he pulls out of another never-ending war. The difference couldn’t be more clear to the American people. While the Communist Party is playing the ultimate game of chicken, the President is working to bring their boys home from a war we should have never been in.

So Scared Schiffless is having his fake trial bringing his witnesses in front of his inquisition claiming guilt without a single piece of evidence. Even with his hanging judge witnesses he has proved the President innocent of whatever charges he invented. This is the biggest abuse of justice this country has ever witnessed as one Party uses its majority as a weapon to remove a President without cause. Yet they claim they are being stewards of abuse while they are mired in it.

This SchiffStorm is a perfect example of why America threw the Trump grenade to DC. turned out it was nuclear.
They are witnessing the largest meltdown in its histoir while exposing Moscow on the Potomac. From the obvious bribery and laundering of those bribes by Hunter for Slow Joe Biden to the coup attempt by the FBI and CIA. There never has been a clearer reveal and now we are seeing how it is done overseas in a Shiffhole like the Ukraine. You can even see how that fake invasion by Russia was used to make Biden richer which is done by almost everyone in the Beltway.

Thank you DumbSchiff for your new reveal. You exposed the innocence of Trump with a list of incompetents which cannot be matched in the private world. To imagine this Harpy is teaching at prestigious Georgetown U is just icing on the corrupt cake. She didn’t even have to fake being Indian only say she worked for their messiah and she was instantly able to teach future ambassadors how to embarrass America. It is all revealed far better than Trump or Barr ever could.

There was no way the Repubs or Trump could expose this much corruption to the American people as Nazi and FullofSchiff has. These career bureaucrats show who and what they are and how they do not have the interest of America at heart only their own craven need for power. They are outraged at Trump’s America first and look down their noses at such a jingoistic philosophy when, it is brilliant. Imagine if everyone loved America warts and all to do whatever it took to make her even better for future generations? Who knows how far she could go or how many lives America could improve if she did not have the people in power do what was right for America rather than hating her?

What a Schiffy way to live their lives militarizing the House. To abuse your power with a false accusation and impeachment to affect the outcome of next year’s elections is a new low. You then take away the accused Right to counsel or ability to call witnesses and hold most of your so-called trial in your dungeon.
This is how Democratic Socialists like Stalin and Mao run their courts and elections not America. Those kids in Hong Kong are not going to concentration camps after a Schiffy trial with no lawyers to never be seen again, for Pelosi’s definition of justice. These Communist dictators have a lot in common and are being revealed completely. Lady Liberty’s Torch is exposing the entire DC cabal and for which we must thank stinky Schiff.

Pray America wakes up

Political miscellany

Big impeachment week coming up. Below some political miscellany to fill in some blanks.

----------------------------

HILLARY’S FLIGHT HAS ENGINE PROBLEMS, RETURNS TO GATE

The bigger surprise here is that Hillary was even on a commercial airline.

They saw smoke and metal debris? This sounds quite serious.

------------------------

HERE

Hillary Clinton was aboard an American Airlines flight from New York that suffered a mechanical issue and needed to return to the gate Sunday afternoon, according to a law enforcement source. A separate law enforcement source confirmed Clinton was aboard a plane which experienced a mechanical issue that needed to return to the gate.

American Airlines says flight 2144, from New York's LaGuardia Airport to Washington's Reagan National Airport returned to the gate around 3:15 pm, ET, after ground personnel saw the mechanical issue, according to the source.

Pilots told authorities the plane shook and ground personnel saw smoke and discovered metal debris in the area after the incident, which took place hundreds of feet from the terminal, according to the law enforcement source.

-----------------------------

SUPREME COURT STOPS TURNING OVER OF PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TAX RETURNS

You got to know that the Democrats are double desperate to get Trump’s tax returns. The American people do not go to bed filled with worry as to when Trump will turn over his taxes.

Not that the Democrats give two flying geese what Americans want.

As of this writing, the Supreme court has halted such turning over of the president’s tax returns.

If they get to obtain Trump’s tax returns, ALL of them should turn over their tax returns.

DOJ INSPECTOR GENERAL TO TESTIFY BEFORE SENATE

Well we don’t know if it will ever come to pass but finally the report by Horowitz, the FISA abuse report, will finally be released, not that we haven’t waited forever.

I will never quite understand why this Horowitz thing added with the Durham report was not released before this waste of life with these silly impeachment hearings.

--------------------------------

HERE

Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today announced that Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz will testify before the Committee on Wednesday, December 11, 2019.

The Inspector General will discuss the findings of his investigation into DOJ and FBI’s conduct during the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant process as it relates to the 2016 presidential election.

Considering the end of the principal review phase on Friday November 22nd; and considering the Thanksgiving holiday of November 28th; this likely puts the publication date for the report on/around Monday December 2nd, with testimony the following week.

-----------------------------------

CONGRESSIONAL IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS TODAY

Starring Alexander Vindman, a Lt. Col in the military and Jennifer Williams, an Aide to VP Pence.

Vindman and Williams were interviewed in the morning and Volker and Morrison in the afternoon. As of this writing I only watched, and then with very glazed eyes, the morning sessions.

If I say it was soulfully boring would I be repeating myself?

The big news of the day was this Vindman guy, decked out with ribbons, medals and rose petals at his feet, had been offered a job as Director of Defense…..FOR THE UKRAINE!!!

Is this guy on the side of America? Because Russia nor the Ukraine should be offering an American Lieutenant-Colonel in the American military the position of running another country’s army!

The Williams woman did pretty well. She only discussed the phone call with her hairdresser and told her second cousin all about it.

This Vindman guy was awful, even with all his decorations.

He thinks the bureaucracy should be in charge….NOT THE FREAKING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!

There is also a big whistle-blower strategy about this guy.

And for a snark, he looks more like a chubby nerd than anybody who should be leading an army, no matter the country.

------------------

PRINCE ANDREW TELLS IT ALL ABOUT JEFFREY EPSTEIN

Seems like the fake media is beginning to stir as concerns the sweet and lovable Jeffrey Epstein and the prince’s relationship with the man.

Heh.

Read the following.

-------------------------------------

HERE

But the capper of all the cappers in this almost unbelievably disastrous interview came when Andrew attempted to explain why, after Epstein had already been convicted for his pedophile activities, he continued to visit his home in New York City, attending a party there as recently as 2010. Andrew’s answers there were that he continued his friendship with Epstein almost reluctantly, at one point saying that it was because he was just “too honorable.”

As if to make it all intentionally more absurd, he claimed that he chose to continue staying at Epstein’s Manhattan lair because it was “convenient.” Yes, one of the most-undeservedly massively wealthy men on earth, a man who could easily afford to rent an entire floor at The Plaza, chose to shack up with a convicted pedophile simply due to its convenience.

POLITICAL CARTOON OF THE WEEK

UKRAINE THREATENED BY SCHIFF

The impeachment hearings continue to bore with the lies and betrayal.

The House Chair of Intelligence sounded the warning to the Ukraine, telling them not to engage in political investigations.

They are trying to protect the Bidens and the Democrat party with all their might.

Americans are just not dumb. We got the son of a VP, kicked out of the navy with a cocaine problem getting paid over a million bucks by Ukraine and nothing they can say at their silly hearings will erase this from American minds.

--------------------------

HERE

House Intel Chair Adam Schiff appears to be threatening Ukraine over its ongoing corruption probe of the Biden family. During the impeachment hearings on Tuesday, Schiff claimed Ukraine’s investigations into the Bidens could influence U.S. politics.

He suggested Ukraine should leave the Bidens alone.

“The real message to Ukraine — our U.S. policy message is: don’t engage in political investigations,” stated Schiff.

Republican lawmakers have suggested Democrats, rather than President Trump, have tried to pressure the foreign government.

“If the Democrats and the media are suddenly so deeply concerned about bribery, you would think they would take some interest in Burisma paying Hunter Biden $83,000 a month,” said Representative Devin Nunes. “And you think they would be interested in Joe Biden threatening to withhold U.S. loan guarantees unless the Ukrainians fired a prosecutor who is investigating Burisma — that would be a textbook example of bribery.”

REHOBOTH BEACH MAYOR BANS NATIVITY SCENE FROM BANDSTAND.

photo rehobothmayor_zpsialyvk1f.jpg

I say softly, Rehoboth Beach in Sussex county Delaware is known far and wide for their homosexual community.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Now the Catholic church, including mine, is going to protest very publicly.

This was also reported on the Todd Starnes report.

--------------------------------------

SPEAKING OF HOMOSEXUAL NEWS ITEMS

What the hell is Chick-Fil-A doing?

They are going to stop charitable contributions to organizations that are not nice to Gays and Lesbians? Why? Because as I am to understand the Salvation Army is one such organization.

How mean is this? Further, the Salvation Army denies it has any issues with homosexuals of any type.

The truth is the pressure is on to bring down all religious organizations, however and whenever the Gay and Lesbians can do it. Could be bringing down a nativity scene. Could be pressuring Chick-Fil-A to give no more money to Salvation Army.

They hate religion. Destruction of all religions is their ultimate goal.

---------------------

HERE

One of the nation’s largest gay advocacy organizations is greeting Chick-Fil-A’s divestment from Christian charities like the Salvation Army with tepid praise and further demands, including an “unequivocal” denunciation of the brand’s history and values.

GLAAD (whose name is an acronym for its former title, “Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation”) demanded “safe workplaces for LGBTQ employees” and an apparent denunciation of the Christian ministry Focus on the Family, responding to Chick-Fil-A’s decision to stop donating to the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program for needy children and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which serves historically black colleges and universities (HCBUs).

The full statement from Drew Anderson, GLAAD’s director of campaigns and rapid response, names more steps the fast-food chain must take to prove its genuine repentance:

"If Chick-Fil-A is serious about their pledge to stop holding hands with divisive anti-LGBTQ activists, then further transparency is needed regarding their deep ties to organizations like Focus on the Family, which exist purely to harm LGBTQ people and families.

“NOT” POLITICS BY PAT

“Survivor” has “me too” story line.

Goodness, Survivor used to be a show about a bunch of people left on an island to fend for themselves until a winner is names.

Recently they had an episode where one of the male survivors was accused of being a little too touchy-feely. Now first, I have to point this out, but the Survivor contenders wear the skimpiest of clothes. I mean they’re living on an island, have to find their own food, must sleep in the rain.

Which is not to say that skimpy clothes warrant people putting unwelcome hands on the opposite sex. But Lord this Survivor episode went the whole time, with producers lecturing the players, the “guilty” guy apologizing forever.

Every show, every song seems to have some kind of social message to it.

Why can’t we just be entertained.

---------------------------

CHICKADEE IN HAND

This chickadee flew into my sliding glass door one day, as happens once in a while.

He was dizzy and I was able to hold him in my hand. After a while I waved my hand up and down and flew off….just fine.

DEMOCRATIC DEBATE….KAMALA HARRIS BEATS ON TULSI

Boy has Tulsi Gabbard got a lot of enemies in the Democratic party. On the night of the Democratic debate recently, Harris chastised Gabbard for constantly criticizing Democrats, to include, especially, President Obama.

To no one’s surprise it was a boring exercise in mediocrity. Besides a couple of snarky remarks to other contenders, not much of note happened.

---------------------

IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS 11/21/19

No big reveals today as of this writing.

----------------------------------

Fiona Hill, former National Security Council senior director for Europe and Russia, will testify before the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday, Nov. 21, in the impeachment probe into President Donald Trump. Hill told lawmakers in closed-door testimony last month that then-national security adviser John Bolton expressed concerns that the Trump administration was trying to pressure Ukrainian officials. The focus of the impeachment inquiry is a July 25 phone call in which Trump asked Ukraine's president to investigate 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden.

David Holmes, foreign service officer in Dept of State.

Hunter Biden-linked company received $130M in special federal loans while Joe Biden was VP

Why aren’t the Republicans going on all the Sunday political talk shows and shouting this loud?

-------------------------------------

An investment firm linked to Hunter Biden received over $130 million in federal bailout loans while his father Joe Biden was vice president and routed profits through a subsidiary in the Cayman Islands, according to federal banking and corporate records reviewed by the Washington Examiner.

Financial experts said the offshore corporate structure could have been used to shield earnings from United States taxes.

Rosemont Capital, an investment firm at the center of Hunter Biden’s much-scrutinized financial network, was one of the companies approved to participate in the 2009 federal loan program known as the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, or TALF.

Under the program, the U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve Bank issued billions of dollars in highly favorable loans to select investors who agreed to buy bonds that banks were struggling to offload, including bundled college and auto loans.

FBI LAWYER AND THE FISA COURT

Goodness this story about the Horowitz inquiry has been at the top of the news and talk shows all night last night and all day today.

Seems that an FBI lawyer fooled with a FISA submission, considered a big crime.

Although they all did it and they all do it.

I do believe.

--------------------

HERE

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz has found evidence that an FBI lawyer manipulated a key investigative document related to the FBI's secretive surveillance of a former Trump campaign adviser -- enough to change the substantive meaning of the document, according to multiple reports.

The show-stopping development comes as Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told Fox News that Horowitz's comprehensive report on allegations of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant abuse against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page will be released on Dec. 9. "That's locked," Graham said.

The new evidence concerning the altered document, which was related to the FBI's FISA court warrant application to surveil Page, is expected to be outlined in Horowitz's upcoming report. CNN first reported the news, which was largely confirmed by The Washington Post.

-------------------------

DESPITE CONSTANT IMPEACHMENT THREAT, PRESIDENT TRUMP APPROVAL RISES

First, I can’t help but believe that Hunter Biden, father of illegitimate children across the planet, naval rejectee for cocaine usage and son of Joe Biden, former VP OF America, is looked upon with disdain and disbelief that his appointment to Burisma’s Board of Directors was because of his talent.

That fact has Americans not taking the impeachment nonsense as all that much.

Plus let’s not forget the Mueller report which was the first lie the Democrats threw at President Trump.

The Democrats might still plan on impeachment but I tell you try, next time a Democrat gets elected President the Republicans should call a conference, allow McConnell the right the nude pictures of the entire congress, the only one to ask questions, must approve all Democrat questions. Then the Republicans should find some gesture, word, glimpse the new Dem. President should make, perhaps catch him eating a booger, then throw his ass up to be impeached.

If this is the game the Democrats want to play, the Republicans should play it.

------------------------------

HERE

A new Emerson poll finds President Trump’s approval has increased in the last month with 48% approval and 47% disapproval, a bounce from 43% approval in the last Emerson National poll in October. Support for impeachment has flipped since October from 48% support with 44% opposing to now 45% opposed and 43% in support. The biggest swing is among Independents, who oppose impeachment now 49% to 34%, which is a reversal from October where they supported impeachment 48% to 39%.

The impeachment hearings are being watched or followed by 69% of voters. A plurality (26%) is getting their information from Fox News, 24% are getting their information from 1 of the 3 network stations (ABC, NBC, CBS), 16% are watching CNN, 15% MSNBC and 19% are going somewhere else for their information.
