A Winning Week

If the late originator of this blog were still alive, this week's political happenings would've tickled him pink. And I have to say, as someone who admittedly wussed out and didn't vote for Trump in 2016, I'm still pretty delighted myself.

First, we had the disaster of the 2020 Iowa Caucus, which revealed either the incompetence or the corruption of the Democratic Party for all to see. These are the people who want carte blanche to govern our country? Since the 1970's, the Iowa Caucuses have been conducted in the traditional manner without incident -- but the Democrats, in their infinite lack of wisdom, decided to pursue change for the sake of change, and they hired some shady credentialed bourgie clowns to pull it off. Which, as Bill Whittle points out in a recent Right Angle, is basically the Democratic approach to anything: trust the S-M-R-T! (Nope. Not on your life.)

By the way, I reserve the right to continue attacking bourgie clowns. I know the type: I are one. After my 2016 mistake, I recognize that now. I let my fear of my high-end-grocery-shopping, college-degree-holding, pricey-car-driving Northern Virginia neighbors intimidate me into voting based on appearances. No more! I've seen the light. Trump might be a flawed avatar for my center-right beliefs (which I will always point out when he does something potentially unwise), but he is accomplishing things that matter and are good despite hurricane-force headwinds. So who cares about the guy's boorish cracks on Twitter? The fat, orange mother-effer has proven he deserves my 2020 vote.

Which brings me to the SOTU, a masterful piece of political theater. It's so entertaining to watch leftists twist themselves into the pretzels trying to counter it. "Lies! All lies!" screams Queen Salty Bitch Pelosi as she rationalizes her infamous little temper tantrum. Uh, okay. Care to show me the numbers, your highness? Care to explain to that black gentleman taking advantage of an opportunity zone that his windfall is fake? Care to explain the lies behind Tuskegee airmen, gold star families, or little black girls waiting for scholarships? I'll wait, popcorn in hand.

The greatest thing about the SOTU was its underlying philosophy: we're looking out for forgotten Americans, but we're not coddling them. I'm sure fiscal conservatives in the audience were wincing a little at all the current and proposed government spending. But if we're going to avoid fighting that green eye-shade war for the time being - if we're going to be profligate - then yes, let us pour money into things that enhance equality of opportunity, not equality of results. I'm an enthusiastic supporter of educational scholarships in particular. (And, uh, rural internet -- since we're moving to the VA countryside soon. Yeah, I'm self-interested. Sue me.)

(Oh, and Mars shots. Yes, plant our flag on Mars. I wouldn't be a proper sci-fi fan if I weren't in favor of that.)

Yep: I'm glad that Trump is Still Our President despite the Democrats' failed attempt to remove him from office. The vote on Wednesday was a fait accompli, but hey: if the left wants to continue wasting time on this BS, maybe that will keep their grubby hands off anything truly important.

No reason for Impeachment of the President

BLUF - Now that the "grounds" for "impeachment" are public, we see that there are NO grounds for impeachment.

Now that the Democrats in the House of Representatives have published their two counts of "Impeachable" conduct we can all see that there is nothing there. It is revealed  as a pure partisan political ploy in the ongoing attempt to reverse the 2016 election.

It is OK, not a criminal  act, for the head of Federal law enforcement to ask for help in rooting out corruption. Joe Biden wasn't mentioned by name; and is always running for something. And OBTW, he admitted publicly to using his office when VP to protect his son and allow him to trade on the Biden name for money. That IS criminal misconduct - by Biden. After he is eliminated from the 2020 Presidential race he will run for Wilmington DE Dogcatcher in the next attempt to stave off any inquiry into his conduct as Obama's VP.

President Trump has been more open than the prior administrations in providing answers to info requests. There was no Obstruction of Justice; even though the continuous torrent of frivolous requests done in an attempt to tie up the administration and provoke a response that could be used in the 2020 campaign IS AN INJUSTICE. The frivolous requests include those that are fishing expeditions into his personal finances. Democratic administrations can stonewall with impunity, Republicans can't.

                            JUST SAY NO

 We know the partisan, political, sham "inquiry"; followed by the sham, one-sided hearings only show that the Liberal DSCE (Democrat/Socialist/Communist Elite) have been chasing a chimera since November 2016. It will end as a disaster for the Liberal DSCE when the Senate begins their trial on the House generated "sham" criminal counts, and  all the real Criminal acts come out in the open - done by Democrats.

BLATE - The country is running on all cylinders, and would be even hotter without the anchor of Liberal DSCE working to gum up the works.

Lets CLEAN HOUSE IN 2020 and elect a congress that will work with a newly REELECTED PRESIDENT TRUMP to continue the path to Make America Great Again - as a CONSTITUTIONALLY LIMITED REPUBLIC of the Several States.

As usual, temperate comments are welcome.
