I tell you what, if any Senator who had Professor Alan Dershowitz at Harvard votes for President Trump to be convicted on PeLOUSY's presentation should have his/her degree to practice law by Harvard revoked for failing the course of Constitutional law Dershowitz gave last night.

What was Fox News "thinking" last night? Following the Senate's dinner break, 6:55 to 7:55, Fox anchors prattled about whatever they wanted as Robert Ray and Alan Dershowitz defended vigorously .... and passionately.. the Constitution's authors concept of the grave nature of "mob rule" impeachment.. Fortunately, I was able to get first hand knowledge on CNN. CNN actually showed (without verbal commentary and only a banner sign dig at Trump) Ray and Dershowitz's comments in their entirety. Who'da thunk that?

Looks like the Democrats aren't treading water very well in the early primary states..after 6 months of heavy campaigning in Iowa, none of the Democrats can attract more than 25-30% support. Guess most Dem Primary voters will be mumbling "eenie-meenie-minee-mo" or flipping a coin as they enter the polling booths.

Wow! How fickle can Creepy Joe Biden be? For 36 years, he was a Senator for the people of Delaware, yet now he's touting Pennsylvania is his real home state.

One week from today, the Iowa caucuses will show no clear winner," Varney said Monday on Fox Nation's "My Take." "And that will be a big problem for the Democrats." -- Stuart Varney sees "no CLEAR winner".... I see no WINNER at all! Of the entire list, they all have the same message.. "Hate Trump.. Hate America's Greatness".

What an education in law and our Constitution was presented by President Trump's Defense Team. ..and it wasn't just for President Trump...it was for all US citizens. I know one local ... and quite vocal... lawyer who should be embarrassed by his defense of the actions of the House, the House Speaker, and Schi** and Nadler in their roles as Chairpersons of the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees.

Online headline/story: "Supreme Court allows Trump administration to enforce ‘public charge’ immigration restriction * The Supreme Court will allow the Trump administration to enforce, for now, its "public charge" immigration restriction, lifting a pair of preliminary injunctions issued by federal judges. * The Monday order followed a 5-4 split vote that divided the court’s conservatives and liberals. * At issue is the administration’s rule issued in August that would restrict immigrants entering the United States if the government believes they will rely on public assistance, such as housing or health care benefits. Lower federal courts had blocked the policy from being implemented while the issue is being litigated." -- Good grief! This should have been a 9-0 decision! Unfortunately, we have 4 members of the Supreme Court who feel that immigrants and illegal aliens should be allowed free access to the "American CREAM" instead of an opportunity to experience the "American DREAM".

Bernie Sanders says he believes in God and freedom of religion in contrast to President Trump, whom he says practices discrimination by restricting immigration from a number of Muslim-majority countries. -- Hmmm seems Bernie is not well informed... it wasn't until 600 plus years after Christ that Muhammad created his anti-Christ sect who worship Allah ... and obviously Allah is not the Father of Christ, our savior, nor a god of mercy and grace as our God.

From the "Hey, Mike Bloomberg.. is this what we should emulate?department - Online story: " According to a new study by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), California faces a staggering $166.5 billion in unfunded liabilities for retirement benefits it has promised to government employees. So naturally, California being California, the Legislature and Gov. Gavin Newsom are moving ahead with plans to shower illegal aliens with still more expensive benefits. * The state has recently made illegal aliens under the age of 26 eligible for Medi-Cal, the state’s version of Medicaid, and plans to expand coverage to illegal aliens over the age of 65 * Admittedly, the cost of covering illegal aliens under the Medi-Cal program pales in comparison to the $166.5 billion potentially owed to state retirees. But California doesn’t actually have the money to do either." -- Wow! The number of Californians already leaving California will pale when the retirees and soon-to-be retirees realize they are not going to receive their pension checks, and KNOW they cannot afford the California lifestyle without their pensions. Hey Supreme Court! Let's get that Citizenship Question on the Census NOW! California already has about 8.. maybe more.. House seats padded onto their allocation because of the illegal alien surge back in the late 80s.

Monday — on the eve of that important political decision — council members learned that last minute projections now indicate the cost of that $5 million scheme might be closer to $7 million. Officials on both sides of the issue now find themselves in a political quandary. " -- Hmmm..."Already over budget by $2.5 MILLION"?.. Folks.. we.. well... "THEY" are talking about spending $7 MILLION on a 45 year old metal building with a facade.. and that doesn't even include a "roundabout"! Putting this "plan" back on a "back burner" is not good enough.. maybe the building can be salvaged at our "over-capacitied " Recycling Center. Oh...and the ever-rising cost of "free transportation" from the split facilities will add a permanent budget breaking amount annually.
