I'm beginning to think Adam Schiff was duped by Brennan loyalist Eric Ciaramella. He was promised a quid pro quo--then Trump released the transcript. They got nothing. Now Schiff is left holding the bag on the dumbest hoax since Jussie Smollett mugged himself w a Subway Sandwich. Poor, poor Adam; you can’t trust anybody. He, of all people, should know that.If you truly seek Quid Pro Quo, you’re gonna need a different Joe Blow. And  a better whistle blower.Try Quid Pro Joe, he seems quite capable of blowing a mean whistle.Posted from: MOTUS A.D

Reasons I vote for Conservatives The booming Economy-it’s not Obama’s Low Unemployment (magic wand) Purposeful foreign policy Filling the judiciary with constitutional originalists Restored defense spending The end of the Iranian deal and secret cash payments The end of the Paris climate accords Embracing Israel, and the end of accommodating radical Islam The end of NAFTA The start of blexit and the revelation of what Democrats have promised and not delivered for African-Americans The end of “open borders“ The end of using euphemisms (dreamers, migrants, undocumented workers, immigrants, residents...) instead of saying “illegal aliens“ Rebuilding pride in nationalism (even for...

Getting tired of all this #WINNING yet? – The Trump economy just will not cooperate with the Democrat/media effort to create a recession out of whole cloth. On Monday, all three major stock indexes – the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq – finished at all-time record highs. True to form, CNBC, in its coverage of this happy event for America, noted in a sub-head that this latest major rally has come as a shock to all the experts: “Nearly everyone on Wall Street underestimated the strength of this year’s stock market.” ummm, if the “experts” are always wrong about everything,...

A Popeyes customer has been stabbed to death over the restocked chicken sandwich during nationwide chaos over its return to the menu. The incident happened at a branch of the fast food chain in Oxon Hill, Maryland on Monday night and was sparked by someone cutting in line, according to police. Pictures from the scene show a poster for the popular sandwich in the window of the taped off restaurant. Fast food fans have been seen desperately trying to get their hands on the burger after it returned to restaurants across the country on Sunday.

Hillary Clinton appears to have finally figured out winning the Electoral College is what makes one president, urging Democrats on Monday to choose a candidate who can do so.  "We have to hope that whoever ends up nominated can win the Electoral College," she said in Denver during a book event.    "I think several of our candidates could win the popular vote but as I know ... that's not enough," the former secretary of state said.  Hillary Clinton calls Democrats to pick a candidate who can win the Electoral College https://t.co/8nIhQGrDOx pic.twitter.com/UpsUffVLmq— The Hill (@thehill) November 5, 2019 Democrats...

A large demonstration, numbering around 1,000 people, marched through downtown Brooklyn Friday evening to protest alleged police brutality in the subway system. Protesters chanted familiar slogans such as “No justice, no peace/Fuck these racist police,” and the message was intensified by calls for violence. Choruses of “punch a cop in the face/every nation, every race,” were echoed by large banners reading, “Ante Up! Punch that cop!” Vehicles were tagged “NYPD KKK,” and eggs and garbage were thrown at a police cruiser. The “#FTP” (fuck the police) action was inspired by two recent incidents where police made arrests on subway platforms....

working the election in New Hampshire. Low turnout. You Republicans want to send a message on impeachment? Network everybody you can tell them to get to the polls today and vote. Great way to send a message.

Beto O'Rourke's pullout from the presidential race leaves the Democrats with, oh, a mere dozen and a half or so candidates available to run the country. The country's corresponding task is to keep awake for the remainder of the race. The pressing question is, or should be, what goes on here? What's the mission -- to can President Donald Trump or to move us in new, as yet hazy, directions? Or both at the same time? Beto -- or to use his baptismal name, Robert Francis -- typified the confusion. What was he trying to do? He'd lost, if narrowly,...

"Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." These are the offenses designated in the Constitution for which presidents may be impeached and removed from office. Which of these did Trump commit? According to his accusers in this city, his crime is as follows: The president imperiled our "national security" by delaying, for his own reasons, a transfer of lethal aid and Javelin missiles to Ukraine -- the very weapons President Barack Obama refused to send to Ukraine, lest they widen and lengthen the war in the Donbass. Now, if Trump imperiled national security by delaying the transfer of...

“Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Go and report to John what you hear and see: the blind receive sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he who does not take offense at Me’” (Matthew 11:4–6). Jesus’ deity and His message of salvation by grace through faith have been great stumbling blocks for many unbelieving sinners, but Christ did not want such doubt and unbelief to affect John. It is likely that the Lord’s response was more...

The Justice Department issued a warning that the anonymous writer of a coming book about the Trump administration could be violating nondisclosure agreements, requesting information from the author’s agents and publisher that they said they wouldn’t provide. At issue is a book by a writer described as a senior Trump administration official whose op-ed piece in the New York Times last year caused controversy by suggesting that administration insiders were intentionally working to blunt the impact of some of the president’s decisions. The book, “A Warning,” is slated to hit bookshelves on Nov. 19. It isn’t known whether the writer...

MT. LEBANON, Pennsylvania -- Army combat veteran Sean Parnell kicked off his race as a Republican running for the U.S. House here at Pamela's Diner. It's within a stone's throw of the district office of Rep. Conor Lamb, the Democrat he's challenging for the 17th Congressional District seat in 2020. "My plan for today is just to tell the voters who I am, give them a sense of what I stand for and just listen to them and figure out what they feel is important," said Parnell before he headed off to two other diners in the district in Beaver...

MEXICO CITY — At least three women and six children in a prominent local Mormon family were killed on Monday when their vehicles were ambushed in northern Mexico by gunmen believed to be members of organized crime, family members said. The attack alarmed a nation already reeling from record violence this year. Members of the LeBarón family, American citizens who have lived in a fundamentalist Mormon community in the border region for decades, were traveling in three separate vehicles when the gunmen attacked, several family members said. They described a terrifying scene in which one child was gunned down while...

Our country is being torn asunder by a rogue establishmentarian government bureaucracy locked arm-in-arm with the Democratic Party. They are trying to overturn the results of the 2016 election of a disruptor president who won by promising to destroy their corruption. To worsen matters, a shocking embrace of socialism by much of the American populace, especially the youth, is taking place. These are dark times. A new movie has thankfully arrived on the scene to give us renewed hope. It will appear on Wednesday, November 6, in theaters nationwide for one night only.  The movie, produced by Rob Orlando, is...

Senator Elizabeth Warren has unveiled her vision for how to pay for “Medicare for all” — a daunting mountain of new taxes and fees. Thanks for providing us, Ms. Warren, with yet more evidence that a Warren presidency is a terrifying prospect, one brought closer by your surge in the polls. Left to her own devices, she would extend the reach and weight of the federal government far further into the economy than anything even President Franklin Roosevelt imagined, effectively abandoning the limited-government model that has mostly served us well. Ms. Warren may call herself a capitalist, but her panoply...

OWLS (Older Wiser Laughing Souls) Wisdom from Grandpa... Whether a man winds up with a nest egg, or a goose egg, depends a lot on the kind of chick he marries. Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earnin' his salt he forgets his sugar. Too many couples marry for better, or for worse, but not for good. When a man marries a woman, they become one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one. If a man has enough horse sense to treat his wife like a thoroughbred, she'll never turn into an...

The left-right divide in America is, unfortunately, unbridgeable. There are three reasons. First, we are divided by our vision of what we want America to be. The right believes the founders' vision was brilliant and moral, that bourgeois middle-class values are superior to alternative value systems; that rights come from God, not man; and that the state must be as small as possible. The left (not liberals) shares none of those values. Second, we are divided by the means we use to achieve our vision. Given their different ends, left and right obviously differ on what means to use to...

Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez claimed "Trump fatigue" is one of several factors that will be in voters' minds in 2020 that will lead to a Democrat taking the White House. Perez told Martha MacCallum Monday on "The Story" that President Trump has been losing ground in key states, and pointed to an evening rally in Republican-friendly Kentucky as a key example of that. "This president is underwater in battleground states," he said, claiming Trump has left a "trail of broken promises" in his wake. "The difference between 2016 and now is, they've had three years of Donald Trump...

The professional victim class is very upset with former President Barack Obama. Why? Because he basically pointed out how they’re not activists, they’re basically Nazis willing to do anything to enforce conformity of thought on the nation. Obama, of course, didn’t call them Nazis, at least not in so many words, but the implication was there. And it wasn’t missed by the left-wing mob demanding uniformity of thought. What did Obama say that has these snowflakes melting? He told a crowd at an Obama Foundation event, “This idea of purity and you’re never compromised and you’re always politically ‘woke’ and...
