President Donald Trump launched a sustained online offensive Tuesday morning after details emerged of damaging congressional testimony by a senior White House official — retweeting numerous messages by Republican lawmakers assailing the latest developments in House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry. The flurry of activity on the president’s social media feed came just hours before Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a National Security Council staffer overseeing Ukraine policy, was due to tell investigators on Capitol Hill that Trump undermined U.S. national security when he pressured Ukraine’s president in a July phone call to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son.

Look for the Lt. Col. to be reassigned to another important White House duty. Like maintaining an adequate back stock of paper clips and rubber bands.

Vindman is not an elected official. Has no authority or responsibility in US foreign relations or military affairs. He does not make policy and his personal opinion is irrelevant as to the nature of US and Ukraine relations. He is a subordinate military officer who believes he is above the president and the Constitution because he is Ukrainian and has a special insight as to what is best for Ukraine including ignoring out of control corruption which includes Joe Biden and his son. Vindman's "I'm a patriot" has been used since time immoral to justify back stabbing superiors and to try to alter events to conform to personal opinion or vision. I suppose in ancient Rome he would have wielded a dagger against Caesar.

“Trump goes on Twitter tear...” Well, Squint, you’d go on a tear, too, if you were attacked incessantly by fools and their keepers. Got anything else to add to the conversation other than some backward snipe?

Could someone explain to me, exactly how asking another country to investigate a crooked American politician undermines national security? Is this different than asking 3 or 4 foreign countries to spy on an American Presidential candidate, or to 'find dirt' on a rival Presidential candidate, or does this only apply when it's allegedly done by a Republican?

I've read the transcript. The LTC apparently doesn't realize he doesn't get a say in foreign policy or get to make up things that never happened. A perfumed princeling wanna-be, apparently. Rotate his hiney to Antarctica. Permanently.

Reassignment to a one man weather igloo outside of Nome would be appropriate I think.

I read the transcript. I can see where someone could be so predisposed to see something nefarious that they'd twist it in their minds to see what they want to see. I would ask my democrat neighbors to consider the difference between stepping into a mountain of dung and asking the question, "hey how'd that get here" and asking someone to pick up a shovel and start digging around just in case they could find buried dung. Worlds apart to me. Biden presented us a pile of dung and bragged about it, we should ignore him?

The Lt. Col. does realize he broke the chain of command and spit in the face of his Commander in Chief doesn't he? I doubt he will get the same protective coverage as a civil servant. I might suggest at least a dishonorable discharge.

President Trump did not ask the Ukrainians to investigate Biden, he asked that they look into an alleged crime(s). Too bad for Biden that he is the criminal.

This dimwit tried to put himself in the class of a former Marine who was a patriot and protected the Commander-in-Chief. Ollie North commanded respect something Benedict Arnold and a list of other military traitors over the years never accomplished. Obama sported the last traitor on, TV showing his affinity for muslim treachery.

The Democrats could call a thousand civilian and military Democrat aligned “Deep State” bureaucrats from DC who take issue with the manner that President Trump makes executive and foreign policy decisions that they don’t like for one reason or another to give their opinions. That does not mean in anyway that the President should be impeached and removed from office because the Democrats and “Deep State” bureaucrats do not like the way that he conducts his foreign policy agenda putting American national interests first. When conducting foreign policy and handing out huge amounts of foreign aid to foreign governments the US Government routinely has demanded that those foreign governments do a lot of things to qualify for that foreign aid. As examples both socialist Democrat politicians Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have said publicly many times during their campaigns for the Democrat nomination that they would demand that Israel do all sorts of things regarding the Palestinians to continue to qualify for US foreign aid after they are elected. Demanding foreign concessions from foreign governments as a qualifier for US foreign aid has never before been considered to be an impeachable offense for any President in the past. In addition it is routine for the US Government to ask foreign governments to investigate US citizens and foreign nationals for crimes they are suspected of committing. It is a misrepresentation to characterize Jose Biden as Trump’s presidential opponent in the upcoming 2020 election, because in reality Biden is only a potential Democrat nominee for the 2020 presidential run, along with about 20 other Democrats, and will not actually be Trump’s opponent until after he is nominated by the Democrats next year, which at the moment is far from being a sure thing. Actually what Trump asked during the telephone conversation that is in question is that the Ukrainians cooperate with the US Attorney General who is conducting a criminal investigation into political corruption relating to the 2016 election, some of which occurred in Ukraine. There was nothing wrong with the President doing that, and Joseph Biden and his son are not immune from being legitimately investigated by the US Department of Justice because the elder Biden is seeking the 2020 Democrat nomination.

Top Democrats at the deposition of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the top Ukraine expert on the National Security Council, said his testimony Tuesday was “extremely disturbing” and praised him for appearing despite attacks from the White House.  Acting House Oversight Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y, told NBC News she found Vindman’s remarks “extremely, extremely, extremely disturbing” as she left the deposition. Maloney refused to answer any other questions about Vindman’s testimony.

A retired U.S. general has warned that President Donald Trump's foreign policy in Syria is drifting dangerously close to piracy, following confirmation that American soldiers will be deployed to secure valuable oil fields in the east of the country and protect them from the Islamic State group. Retired General Barry McCaffrey condemned the plans on Sunday, following Trump's suggestion he wants to bring in Exxon Mobil or another U.S. oil company "to go in there and do it properly...and spread out the wealth" from the oil fields.

Long before real planning for it began, and long before the first news stories about it, those of us in the top levels of the Pentagon heard President Donald Trump demand the military parade he would eventually get. The bizarre request was one of the first signs I had of the enormous rift between my boss at the time, Defense Secretary James Mattis, and the president.

President Trump announced Wednesday that conditions have been met between Turkey and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) for what he called a "permanent ceasefire" between the two sides and that the United States is lifting sanctions on Ankara that were implemented following the invasion of northern Syria. Speaking at the White House, Trump said that while a "permanent ceasefire" will be tough to maintain in the volatile region, he hopes it will last and end the conflict between Turkey and the Kurds. "I do believe it will be permanent," he said. "This was an outcome created by us, the United States, and nobody else...we've done something very, very special."

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

During the interviews on Sunday, Manchin repeatedly claimed that he was not open to ending the filibuster because he did not want to strip the minority party of their power in the Senate, but signaled that he was open to changing it.Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Manchin if he would consider “reforming the filibuster” if “Republicans

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

Without question, the vast majority of Americans who support former President Donald Trump were angry and frustrated throughout 2020 passed with barely a mention of then-U.S. Attorney John Durham’s criminal investigation into the FBI’s fraudulent “Russiagate” counterterrorism operation directed at his 2016 campaign.In the weeks before the November election, word got out that then-Attorney General William Barr wasn’t going to announce any indictments or even a report on Durham’s investigation because he did not want to influence the outcome.So far, in fact, the only indictment to come out of the Durham probe is that of former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who essentially got a slap on the wrist

Appearing on Yahoo!

The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters. Mr. Cohen said the impetus to revive the bid is the new movie, “Judas and the Black Messiah.” The movie details

But somehow we missed it.” Tom Stoppard The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
