Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren endorsed a Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) policy proposal that includes taxpayer-funded welfare benefits for illegal immigrants. Ocasio-Cortez's proposal, dubbed "A Just Society," calls for nationwide rent control and bans the federal government from denying welfare benefits based on an individual's immigration status and previous criminal convictions. Warren became the first Democratic presidential candidate to endorse the plan, calling it "just the type of bold, comprehensive thinking we'll need" to make "big, structural change."Ocasio-Cortez is considered to be "one of the most important endorsements in America,"
Need a good laugh? On Tuesday, Obama's former attorney general, Eric Holder, who ran the most politicized Department of Justice in history, accused current Attorney General Bill Barr of "cross[ing] the political line." (Video) “I think the attorney general needs to be a little bit more sensitive to the appearance that that gives. You have to not only be substantively neutral, you have to appear to be neutral when you’re the attorney general of the United States. I fear he has crossed the political line.”Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. This is the same guy who, as attorney general,

President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani has tapped Watergate prosecutor Jon Sale to represent him in the ongoing Democrat-led impeachment probe, it was revealed Tuesday. Giuliani has recruited former law school classmate and Watergate prosecutor Jon Sale to represent him in the ever-expanding Ukraine-centered impeachment probe: (Tweets) “I’ve just gotten involved,” Sale said, according to Politico. “It’s very complex. We’re just starting to analyze what position we should take.” The announcement was made a day following the House Democrats issue of a subpoena, demanding Giuliani produce documents related to the Ukraine “scandal” by October 15.
Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) on Monday called the Democrats' three-year drive for impeachment "outrageous." "I mean, there are now more versions of Democratic impeachment than there are Microsoft Window versions," Ratcliffe told Fox News's Mario Bartiromo. He said Democrats are trying to "undo one election and at the same time influence the next one." (Video) Remember, it was we must impeach this president because he colluded with Russia? No, no wait, we must impeach this president because he obstructed justice by not firing Bob Mueller. No wait, now we must impeach this president because he abused power by having a conversation
Former Attorney General Eric Holder told Fox News on Tuesday that current Attorney General Bill Barr "is paying a price" and sacrificing his credibility by spearheading U.S. Attorney John Durham's ongoing probe into possible misconduct by the intelligence community at the outset of the Russia investigation. Holder also remarked separately that it was a "reality" that Republicans will "cheat" in the 2020 elections by trying to "move polling places" and "a whole variety of things" -- prompting Republicans to dismiss his "outlandish and baseless accusations." Holder's comments came a day after The New York Times reported that President Trump had privately pressed Australia's leader to help Barr in that probe.
White House Senior Policy Adviser, Stephan Miller, appears on Fox Business with Lou Dobbs to explain the apoplexy coming from DC’s administrative state. Miller outlines the deep fear held by many in the professional political class in/around DC toward ongoing investigations by U.S. AG Bill Barr and U.S. Attorney John Durham. In framing the opposition to the Trump administration, Mr. Miller identifies the Marxist roots that bind governmental ideologues in united resistance. Impeachment is their best hope of defense.

A Fairfax County police officer has been suspended for allegedly detaining a driver involved in a traffic accident and turning the person over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement after discovering the individual had an immigration violation, the department announced Tuesday.
Fairfax County Police Chief Edwin C. Roessler Jr. apologized for the incident, saying the unnamed officer apparently violated the department’s long-standing policy against performing civil immigration enforcement for ICE. An investigation was underway.
On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Beat,” House Financial Services Committee Chair Maxine Waters (D-CA) stated that if Secretary of State Mike Pompeo doesn’t respond to subpoenas, he might be charged with obstructing the impeachment, and “I certainly hope that it means we can drag him in or we can arrest him.”Waters said, “I do agree that this president has instructed those who we have been subpoenaing not to come before our committee, not to cooperate. It is outrageous in what he is doing. And now that we have more information, factual information, for example, that Pompeo was on that telephone call, he must respond to the subpoena.
While an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump captivates the media and politicos across the country, the U.S. senate is debating a landmark immigration bill.The “Fairness For High Skilled Immigrants Act” has already passed the House of Representatives and has bipartisan support in the Senate. The bill would eliminate the cap on the number of immigrants who come from certain countries, which would in turn increase the number of high-skilled immigrants who come to the U.S. Currently, the U.S. government hands out roughly 1 million green cards every year, but mandates that no country can receive more than 7% of all employment-based green cards.

Trump lawyer and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani suggested on Monday night that there was serious evidence that the Obama White House directed Democrats to work with Ukraine to dig up dirt on then-candidate Donald Trump. Giuliani joined Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Monday night where he detailed the latest developments into the situation regarding Ukraine, which stems from a 2017 Politico investigation that found that Ukraine was working with operatives for the Democratic National Committee to sabotage Trump.“The reason why the president of the United States had an obligation to ask the president of Ukraine to follow up on these allegations because
US District Judge Morrison England on Tuesday issued a temporary injunction against a California law which required Trump to release his tax returns in order to appear on the 2020 primary ballot. Last month, the federal judge temporarily suspended the law and announced he would be releasing a formal written injunction by October 1st.On Tuesday, Judge Morrison, a George W. Bush appointee, released a written opinion and argued the law signed by Governor Gavin Newsom violated the Presidential Qualifications Clause contained in Article II of the US Constitution and violated the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause as set forth in the 14th Amendment.
Hillary Clinton says the 'gutsiest' decision she has ever made was to remain married to Bill Clinton during his highly-publicized cheating scandal. 'I think the gutsiest thing I've ever done - well, personally - was make the decision to stay in my marriage,' the former First Lady said on Good Morning America Tuesday. 'Publicly, politically - run for president and keep going. Just get up every day and keep going,' the 71-year-old former presidential candidate added. The admission shocked daughter Chelsea Clinton who was seated next to her mother for a joint interview promoting their new book: The Book of Gutsy Women: Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience.
When reports first surfaced that AG Bill Barr had traveled to Italy recently, we surmised the trip was likely related to Joseph Mifsud; specifically related to an audio-taped deposition that Mifsud gave to Italian police about being a western intelligence asset who was enlisted by the CIA (Brennan) to run a covert intelligence operation against the Donald Trump campaign in 2016.
If accurate, well, there’s the motive for the latest “CIA whistle-blower” approach.(Snip)[…] The Daily Beast has learned that Barr and Durham were especially interested in what the Italian secret service knew about Joseph Mifsud, the erstwhile professor from Malta who had allegedly promised then candidate Donald Trump’s campaign aide
Ukraine: A Political Rerun

Back when reruns were a staple of summer programming, television networks aired repeats of their programs, giving viewers another opportunity to see what they had already seen. Democratic politicians are now conducting their own version of reruns.(Snip)The New York Times reports the whistleblower is a CIA agent who was on loan to the White House. I have known several CIA agents and two directors of the CIA--George H.W. Bush and Porter Goss--and none were known for the kind of prose contained in the complaint. The document appears to have been written by a team of lawyers with a political objective, namely impeachment of the president.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff reported Wednesday morning that "unidentified projectiles" had been launched from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
The projectiles were reportedly launched eastward from the coastal city of Wonsan, Kangwon Province, into the Sea of Japan. Numerous missile tests in the past few months have followed a similar pattern. Past tests have featured a variety of short-range weapons, including rocket artillery and a short-range ballistic missile.

Democrats believe they can impeach President Donald John Trump with impunity. They figure it will be like Clinton's one-day trial and acquittal, which would allow them to scream injustice from now until forever.
President Trump should extract the full price for their farce. Whilst the attorney general and inspector general continue investigating Hillarygate and Muellergate, President Trump should have fun with this by forcing Democrats to make their case to the American people.
Just like they did with Clarence Thomas.
Just like they did with Brett Kavanaugh.
That means putting the whistle blower on the stand. The Constitution requires the accuser to face the accused.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee raised $125 million in the third quarter of the year, a presidential fundraising record.
The pro-Trump effort said Tuesday that it has raised more than $308 million in 2019 and has more than $156 million in the bank. Republicans aim to use the fundraising haul to fight off Democrats’ impeachment effort.
Former President Barack Obama and the DNC raised just over $70 million in the third quarter of 2011.
“President Trump has built a juggernaut of a campaign, raising record amounts of money at a record pace,” said Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale.
A spokesman for Rep. Adam Schiff’s House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence denied any impropriety related to a trip taken by a staffer to Ukraine last month sponsored and organized by the Atlantic Council think tank.
The Atlantic Council is funded by and works in partnership with Burisma, the natural gas company at the center of allegations regarding Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.
The Schiff staff member, Thomas Eager, is also currently a fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Congressional Fellowship. Burisma in January 2017 signed a “cooperative agreement” with the Council to sponsor the organization’s Eurasia Center.
Prince Harry, whose relationship with paparazzi and tabloids has long been tainted by the tragic death of his mother, Princess Diana, is taking legal action against what he called “relentless propaganda” against his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.

In September 2019, House Democrats launched a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump over a whistleblower's accusation that he threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine as a pressure tactic to force the Ukrainian government to investigate allegations that Joe Biden's son Hunter benefited financially from the firing of that same Ukrainian prosecutor.

Jake Tapper of CNN has wasted most of the last 3 years of his life trying to end the presidency of Donald John Trump prematurely. He lent his name in January 2017 to CNN's collusion with Obama to tar President-elect Trump as an agent of Russia.
But Tapper and the rest have failed more times than Wile E. Coyote.
Frustration set in. On Friday, Tapper lashed out with the cliche about Kool-Aid.

President Donald John Trump carried 10 more states than she won. That was the worst shellacking if a Democrat since Dukakis 28 years earlier.

In the same way the 2016-2019 Trump-Russia Collusion Conspiracy was a vehicle; a tool toward the end goal of an “obstruction” impeachment; so too is the 2019 Trump-Ukraine narrative a vehicle; a means to an end: “corruption of office”, impeachment (Snip) The primary objective of Speaker Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Elijah Cummings and Eliot Engel is not the material within the anonymous CIA ‘whistle-blower’ complaint.

It's been more than 2 years since the Belmont Club article predicting a political showdown after the election of Donald Trump was written. Since then its scenario of top rival American politicians trying to jail each other has become an actual possibility. "Will impeaching Trump lead to indictments of Obama and Biden over Ukraine?" says an article in the Spectator. Rudy Giuliani asks. 'Shouldn't Biden be investigated over Ukraine if Trump can be impeached over it?' Hillary's in the mix too.

In the governments’ response filing (full pdf below), the DOJ rejects any additional efforts to provide evidence, and requests Judge Emmet Sullivan proceed directly to sentencing: (Response in pdf) Additionally, the government filed a weird appendix, intended to highlight the amount of Brady material the prosecution has turned over to the defense team.

The content of the Ukraine phone call, as unseemly as it may be for President Donald Trump, will not be the basis of impeachment, the way Bill Clinton’s “perjurious, false and misleading testimony to the grand jury” was. Which is why House Democrats are utilizing it as pretext to fish the whole expanse of the vast waters of presidential diplomatic communications with foreign leaders.

On Fox & Friends (10/01/2019) Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich tells America’s Newsroom host Sandra Smith that the Democrats are not conducting an impeachment investigation as much as attempting a coup d’ etat of the Trump Presidency. Something CommDigiNews writers have been writing for months. Democrats obviously do not feel that they can beat Trump in the 2020 election and that their only chance to gain control of the government, and your life, is by destroying the President. The Democrats are issuing a systematic series of assaults that are nothing more than a forcible transference of power from the Republicans and Donald J. Trump to the Democrats.

Many people have wondered why Lt. Gen Michael Flynn took the guilty plea; indeed, even his trial judge, Emmet Sullivan, posed curious questions about the agreement. Yesterday, in a very smart move on behalf of her client, defense Attorney Sidney Powell informed the court why Mike Flynn took the guilty plea on November 30th, 2017.
Background – As part of ongoing proceedings and consideration Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan had requested a status update about the ongoing cooperation of Michael Flynn in the trial of his former business partner Bijan Rafiekian. On September 24th Federal Judge Anthony J Trenga nullified the jury verdict against Rafiekian and tossed the case.
How did this get to be standard practice?
The whistle-blower scandal that has prompted the fourth presidential impeachment process in American history has put a spectacle from earlier this decade back on display: the jaw-smacking feast of scavengers who circled around Ukraine as Viktor Yanukovych, a Moscow-linked kleptocrat, was driven from power. Ukraine’s crisis was the latest to energize a club whose culture has come to be treated as normal—a culture in which top-tier lawyers, former U.S. public officials, and policy experts (and their progeny) cash in by trading on their connections and their access to insider policy information—usually by providing services to kleptocrats like Yanukovych.
The subpoenas are flying like feces in the monkey cage. If you’ve ever had your picture taken with President Donald Trump, anyone named Trump, or walked past a Trump property, there’s a better than even chance House Democrats will demand answers and documents from you in the coming weeks. Maybe it’s time to turn the tables.
Democrats are searching, desperately, for anything to validate their push for impeachment.
They’re only missing any evidence to justify the foregone conclusion they’re gearing everything toward.

And I want to urge everybody who's fair to never use the word "impeachment" for the current political process, because it has nothing to do with an impeachment.his is a legislative coup d'etat.

The Democrats cannot allow a Trump victory, no matter what. They know they won’t beat him in 2020 because there isn’t a serious and sane candidate among their party to oppose him.

Republicans have had their differences these past few years. Most have supported President Trump; a few have not. Some of the president’s supporters have been enthusiastic; many have not. Some of the reluctant Trump supporters have expressed reservations at certain times; many have not. But with the revelations of the last week, and the launch of a formal impeachment inquiry, we are at a new moment.
Elizabeth Warren’s rise in the polls (and Joe Biden’s stumbles) will start obscuring what the first eight months of the presidential primary campaign revealed to many: the Democratic Party is fractured along lines of ideology, identity, and age (if age is not a subset of identity). A new survey suggests college-educated whites are driving fissures into the Democratic rank-and-file.

With the 2020 presidential election around the corner, Democratic presidential hopefuls and lawmakers have put forth bold proposals such as returning the top marginal income tax rate to 70 percent, levying wealth taxes as Sens.

Others such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claim that capitalism is “irredeemable” and a system that “allows billionaires to exist” is “immoral.” Sanders recently declared he does not think “billionaires should exist.”
Warren went further when she told voters they could attribute frustrations in their lives to the rich and powerful:
After Federalist reporting unearthed the Intelligence Community Inspector General’s (ICIG’s) material changes to its whistleblower complaint intake procedures, a battle has ensued over whether the changes matter.

Another in a long string of racist hoaxes has come to light this week. The story of a 12-year-old girl at a Virginia Christian school, who alleged that three white boys pinned her down, insulted her, and cut off some of her dreadlocks, has turned out to be false, after the girl admitted she made the entire incident up.
This particular case had the added bonus of taking place at the school where Karen Pence, wife of Vice President Mike Pence, teaches. And the media could not wait to leap to their assumed priors about what they view as the bigotry of the second family. It was perfect. Too perfect.
The evidence of prosecutorial misconduct in the Michael Flynn case continues to grow. And with each new court filing by Flynn’s new criminal defense attorney, Sidney Powell, the public learns more about the events leading up to Flynn’s guilty plea and the government’s manipulation of Trump’s former national security advisor.
The latest development came on September 30, when Powell filed a supplement status report summarizing the outcome of the criminal case against Flynn’s former Flynn Intel Group (FIG) partner, Bijan Rafiekian. Presiding Judge Emmett Sullivan had requested the parties provide the court a statement concerning the impact of the government’s decision not to call Flynn as a witness in that case.

There are a few exceptions: cases of rape, incest, and saving the life of the mother. But that wasn’t enough for the Democratic presidential candidates who took to Twitter to condemn the provision.
On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Breitbart News Senior Contributor and Secret Empires author Peter Schweizer stated that the Biden family has cashed in through “corruption by proxy.”
Schweizer said, “What I think it adds up to is the Biden family cashing in through — by corruption by proxy. … Joe Biden, as Vice President, or his wife Jill Biden can’t take payments from foreign entities. That would have to be disclosed. That would be easy to catch. But you set up your adult kids.”
Connolly: Barr ‘Needs to Resign’

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Representative Gerry Connolly (D-VA) stated that Attorney General William Barr should resign.
Connolly said, “I think the attorney general needs to resign. He is no longer even pretending to be objective in the meting out of justice in the United States. He is nothing but a private investigator and attorney for Donald J. Trump, and that’s not his constitutional role.”
One person has died and nine are injured in a violent attack at a shopping centre in Finland, police say.
A tenth injured person has been arrested.
All ten people have been taken to hospital, with police saying two people, including the attacker, are seriously injured.
The incident took place in Savon vocational college located inside the shopping centre in Kuopio, a town in the east of the country.
The person who died was "found on the premises of the school", the police said on Twitter.
Here are two unfortunate realities: the first is that whistleblowing becomes virtuous only when a Republican is the one being whistled on; the second is that deep state Democrats have a habit of manipulating whistleblower laws when it suits their purposes. I could write a book -- I’ve written several, in fact -- on whistleblowers the major media chose to ignore. The two examples that follow, one regarding Bill Clinton, the other Barack Obama, should give a sense of how the worms in Washington turn.
The first case involves TWA Flight 800, the 747 that inexplicably crashed off the coast of Long Island in July 1996.
When conservative commentator and former secret service agent Dan Bongino posted a warning for America about the “tyrannical” tactics Democrats and media are using to impeach President Donald Trump, the president’s son, Donald, Jr., chimed in.
On Friday, Bongino posted his warning on Twitter, cautioning that Democrats’ success would demise of the demise of the Republic:
“If we allow the tyrannical Democrats, and their media sycophants, to destroy Trump, then they will use this despotic model again, and the Republic will be dead.”
A new kind of debate is now raging inside conservativism. In times past, we discussed the strategic and tactical options by which we might work toward common goals inside the existing political framework.
Today, the framework itself is in question. What is being discussed is the classical liberal foundation of the American political system. Indeed, both left and right have worked inside this framework for much of our nation’s history. Rarely have we faced such a challenge to the way America resolves its problems.
However, liberalism is in crisis. Our society is in shambles and drifting
The Hispanic crowd at Friday’s White House Hispanic Heritage Month reception chanted, “Four more years!” when President Donald Trump was introduced.
“Everybody here: Hispanic or Hispanic-American – who isn’t?” Trump asked the crowd, drawing applause, acknowledging one “man of faith” who identified himself as non-Hispanic.
“I will always be with you,” Trump promised Hispanic Americans, adding, “And, I think you know that, maybe, better than anybody knows it”:
Hillary Clinton and her daughter Chelsea are making the media rounds to promote their new book about "gutsy women," and perhaps to remind voters that Hillary is still with us.
Appearing with Stephen Colbert Monday night, Chelsea said she feels the need to protect her mother, "because I do worry about her, given what we continue to see at his (Trump's) rallies, like the rabid 'lock her up' chants."
Colbert told Chelsea, "When you see the president of the United States so obsessed with Secretary Clinton, your mother, you must have an urge to protect your mother or defend your mother or slap his mouth (laughter)
The Australian government confirmed on Tuesday that Prime Minister Scott Morrison in a phone conversation with President Trump reaffirmed Australia’s willingness to “help shed further light on” investigations into the origins of the Mueller investigation into Russian election meddling.
“The Australian government has always been ready to assist and cooperate with efforts that help shed further light on the matters under investigation,” a spokesman for the prime minister said in a statement.
“The PM confirmed this readiness once again in conversation with the President.”
'The Federalist' co-founder Sean Davis said we are now "through the looking glass" with Democratic party outrage at Attorney General Bill Barr trying to get to the bottom of 2016 election meddling. In an interview with FOX Business Network host Lou Dobbs, Davis said the whistleblower complaint against the president is full of errors and false statements.
LOU DOBBS: On its face, the preposterous set of circumstances and, frankly, every element of it contrived by the Democrats is fraudulent. Do you believe it won't collapse on its own weight?
The impeachment nightmare that House Democrats are so eagerly plunging the country into now is merely another outbreak of that party’s inability to accept the voters’ verdict of 2016. [Snip] Realistically, neither of these impeachment inquiries will accomplish anything. That is, beyond drowning out other attempts at newsmaking to impress voters. And they will allow Washington’s cast of characters on both sides to perform their standard political theater for countless weeks while shirking their day jobs. No wonder the national job approval rating for Congress is barely a third of that for the president it seeks to oust
Senate Democrats representing red states are worried the House impeachment process may spin out of control and destroy any chance their party might have of winning back the majority next year.
These Democrats hope the House keeps its impeachment focus on the Ukraine controversy, and that Democrats act relatively quickly. If they do not, the red-state Democrats warn Trump could turn the tables on them.
“It’s really incumbent on the House to really be laser-focused. The president is a master of pivoting and deflecting and I think it’s really important to stay focused,” said Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.),
When books spread fake news
replies
Poor fact-checking isn’t just the plague of websites and magazines. It’s disturbing the publishing industry. Just recently, several high-profile “experts” in their fields have promoted major factual errors in their books.
Due to a misunderstanding of historical terms, feminist author Naomi Wolf created “several dozen executions” that never happened.
Ex- New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson plagiarized passages and peddled factual errors in her ironically titled Merchants of Truth. (This should have come as no surprise to anyone who read her interview with New York magazine in which she boasted that she doesn’t need to record interviews.)
The fast approaching gubernatorial elections in Kentucky, Mississippi, and Louisiana will determine if these states will build upon the economic growth from the federal tax cuts and regulatory reform.
Of these states, Mississippi is the only one without an incumbent on the ballot. Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves who is a Republican, is running against Attorney General Jim Hood to succeed Gov. Phil Bryant, a Republican who will be termed out of office this year.
Reeves and Bryant worked together in 2016 to deliver the largest tax cut in Magnolia State history, and Reeves has made clear that he will continue this pro-taxpayer record as governor.
Three top House Republicans wrote to the inspector general for the intelligence community Monday to find out if whistleblower reporting requirements were improperly loosened in order to accommodate an allegation against President Trump.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, Rep. Devin Nunes of California, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, and Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the top GOP lawmaker on the House Oversight Committee, wrote to Inspector General Michael K. Atkinson to demand information related to the decision to loosen whistleblower reporting requirements so that non-firsthand accounts would be accepted.
Republican lawmakers in both the Senate and House on Monday demanded answers from the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) about secret revisions to the office’s guidance on “urgent concern” whistleblower complaints. The Federalist first reported last week that between May 2018 and August 2019, the ICIG secretly eliminated its requirement that potential whistleblowers provide only first-hand evidence of alleged wrongdoing.
In their letter to Michael Atkinson, the ICIG, Reps. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) noted that the anti-Trump complainant offered no direct, first-hand evidence of alleged wrongdoing against President Donald Trump. Instead, the complaint is littered with gossip,
Many years ago, when I was teaching at Providence College, I showed up for a meeting of the faculty senate. That was rare for me. I loathe campus politics. But a friend of mine had put forward a proposal for a program in Classics, and I attended to lend my support.
It turned out that on the same day, a professor of sociology brought along an entourage of a dozen students or so, to get the senate to approve a program in Black Studies. The students were permitted to speak a bit, and then they remained to make sure that the senate did the “right thing
Last week I took apart an NRO critique of Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s “limitless ideology” on my American Manifesto blog. I said that it is not enough to critique the constant ideological expansion of government. You have to have an alternative. And anyway the key thing about progressives is that their politics is their religion.
But now I want to look at a different aspect of our political moment which expands on the lefty-politics-as-religion theme. It is that our Democratic friends are in the middle of a “failure of prophecy.” If you are a progressive believer the world was supposed to be all tucked up in progressive heaven by now.

Last week, I was in New Orleans, Louisiana, to speak to some of the most pleasant, most wide awake, alert people I have ever met. They are a group called INFOR, and they do software solutions for extremely difficult problems. I could not have asked for a better audience.
They even asked questions, and that’s a real treat.

U.S. District Judge Robert J. Yonker has halted implementation of a new policy in Michigan that forces faith-based adoption agencies to choose between violating their beliefs on same-sex marriage or closing their doors. In his written opinion, Yonker says that the original policy in place for years already “ensures non-discrimination in child placements,” but the new policy “would replace this with a State-orthodoxy test that prevents Catholic believers from participating.”
As readers learned last April, this new policy was the work of Michigan’s renegade attorney general Dana Nessel, who used her authority to settle a pretextual discrimination lawsuit, Dumont v. Gordon, filed by the ACLU on behalf of two lesbian
As the release of I.G. Horowitz's report on FISA abuse and John Durham's report on the origins of the Russia collusion hoax are about to be made public, the Democratic Party has begun to melt down in true Wicked Witch style. They are inventing new "crimes" to accuse the president of having committed each week, and each new allegation is sillier than the previous one. The entire collusion with Russia charge, as most people know by now, was fabricated by Hillary Clinton and a vast group of Deep State crooks who believed themselves to be above the law. So certain that their machinations would insure
The Trump administration’s signature tax reform law’s cap on federal deductions for state and local taxes does not violate the constitution, a federal judge ruled on Monday.
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by four states against the Internal Revenue Service, rebuffing their challenge against a new $10,000 cap on the deduction for state and local taxes, also known as SALT. Those states were New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and Connecticut.
The so-called SALT cap weighs most heavily on high-tax states, including the four involved in Monday’s decisions, where state and local taxes are most likely to exceed the cap. The ability to deduct the cost of local taxes made
Racial and ethnic quotas for post-secondary admissions– and “Affirmative Action” policies, more broadly — have “hurt black and Hispanic college-bound Americans more than [they] have helped,” said Breitbart News Entertainment Editor Jerome Hudson in a Monday interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.
Subverting meritocracy in pursuit of racial and ethnic quotas harms those belonging to groups ostensibly being assisted by “Affirmative Action” policies, explained Hudson, drawing on research he conducted in writing his bestselling book, 50 Things They Don’t Want You to Know.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told Breitbart News exclusively on Monday evening that his committee is planning hearings soon, beginning with Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general Michael Horowitz as soon as Horowitz releases his imminent report on the origins of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
“The Horowitz report is coming soon,” Graham said Monday evening when reached by phone. “The focus of the Judiciary Committee will hear testimony from him, and follow whatever leads the report gives us about the FISA

Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) said Monday night on CNN that President Donald Trump should be suspended from Twitter for threats to the whistleblower and tweeting Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) should be arrested for treason.
Harris said, “Frankly, when you look at what he’s been tweeting today, directed at the whistleblower, directed at so many people, I frankly, think that based on this and all we’ve seen him do before, including attacking members of Congress that frankly his Twitter account should be suspended.”
She continued, “I think there’s plenty of now evidence to suggest that he is irresponsible with his words in a way that could result in harm to other people.

‘I have listened and I have learned,” said Elizabeth Warren at a forum of Native American voters in Iowa last month. “Like anyone who’s being honest with themselves, I know that I have made mistakes. I am sorry for the harm I have caused.” Did any reporter ask her what harm, specifically, she’d caused, or what, specifically, she’d learned? Did any reporter ask her if her “mistakes” were ones anyone could have made, or ones she believed any of her peers, either at Harvard or in the Senate, had also made?
No, they did not.
I suppose people think that the controversy over Warren’s past claims of Native American ancestry

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has valiantly fought the war on crazy long enough. She tried her best to be the sane, adult centrist in her party — no easy task for a lifelong politician from San Francisco.
In the end, it was too much. She has given up the fight. The inmates have taken over the asylum.
Impeachment fever has a chokehold on the Democratic Party.
For Republican political operatives hoping to win back the House, this is good news. They need to flip 20 House seats next year to gain back the majority.
Among those the GOP has targeted for flipping are the 31 sitting Democrats
Four Theories of Impeachment
replies
Why impeachment, and why now? Herewith four theories that are neither mutually exclusive nor the sole or dominant reason—all four can be true to some extent, along with other reasons already floating around.
• The Democratic 2020 president field is unbelievably weak. The two front runners are a doddering old fool and a fake Indian whose shrill demeanor and radical ideas assure a Trump re-election. Hence the impeachment crusade is a hail Mary pass intended not just to whip up the Democratic base, but hopefully drive down Trump’s poll numbers. If the election next year is a referendum primarily about Trump, even a mediocre Democrat might win.
The Wall Street Journal’s (WSJ) James Freeman observed Monday that Hillary Clinton is now joining Joe Biden in the “new spotlight” on the United States’ relations with Ukraine.
Freeman, the assistant editor of the WSJ’s editorial page, noted that Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley (IA) and Ron Johnson (WI) wrote Monday morning to Attorney General William Barr, asking if he has come up with any answers to the question of whether the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign used the government of Ukraine “for the express purpose of finding negative information on then-candidate Trump in order to undermine his campaign.”
A letter emerged late on Monday from the Australian government that directly disputed the accuracy of a New York Times report that claimed that President Donald Trump “pushed” Australia to help Attorney General William Barr investigate the origins of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation in an attempt to “discredit” the investigation in what The Times claimed was an example of Trump “using high-level diplomacy to advance his personal political interests.”
The letter, reported by Nine News Australia’s Kerrie Yaxley, is dated May 28, 2019, from Australian Ambassador Joe Hockey to Barr, and states:
There’s a really bad song called “Wake Me Up When September Ends” by a really bad band named Green Day.
When the faux-punk outfit released the comically emo, radio-friendly single in 2004, they had no way of knowing that it would serve as the soundtrack for the American mainstream media’s unraveling some 15 years later. After all, the last half of September was a rough couple of weeks for the press; perhaps no period in modern history has witnessed such a staggering amount of journalistic malfeasance.
It’s a play more or less in three acts, a slapstick tragedy so absurdly avoidable that it borders on comedy.
Joe Biden’s corrupt dealings in Ukraine and those of his son must be investigated, and the time has come for him to drop out of the presidential race.
While Biden served as vice president, his son Hunter was unaccountably making $50,000 a month “consulting” in an industry with which he was totally unfamiliar (energy), in a notoriously graft-prone country where he didn’t speak the language (Ukraine). Hunter made similarly sketchy deals with China.
President Trump’s phone call this summer with his Ukrainian counterpart may have been ill-advised, but it simply didn’t rise to an impeachable offense. Meanwhile, the American people deserve to know the truth about the Biden family’s lucrative dealings
Democratic candidates for the 2020 election are hoping to woo Americans through sweeping policy plans including the elimination of college debt and expanding Social Security — some of which carry hefty price tags.
Many Republicans have been critical of giving away too many freebies and undermining capitalism, and even democracy, and covering the sky-high costs of the Democrats proposals has become a point of criticism among their opponents — particularly when solutions come in the form of increased taxes.
The Congressional Budget Office said earlier this month that the federal budget deficit over the course of the first 11 months of the fiscal year was $1.06 trillion.

The city of San Francisco on Monday removed about two dozen small boulders from a residential side street after a group of neighbors had them installed last week in an effort to deter homeless people from camping out on along the sidewalk amid the city's ongoing crisis. San Francisco’s Public Works removed the rocks set up along Clinton Park in the city's Mission Dolores neighborhood. Residents last week said they pooled their funds to keep drug users from having a space to shoot up as they camp out overnight.
The department’s director, Mohammed Nuru, told the San Francisco Examiner that the boulders installed by the residents “were not big enough”
