Solemnly, prayerfully, Pelosi and her Democrats begin impeachment proceedings.

Ben Garrison: Pelosi's Poison Pens "As we watched Nancy Pelosi sign the articles of impeachment, we were overcome with disgust. What was supposed to be a sad and somber affair (her words), was unnecessarily made into a pompous and grandiose spectacle. Each letter of her name was signed individually with a separate golden pen. Clearly she was enjoying herself as she attempted to aggrandize the ‘historic’ manufactured spectacle."
"As I watched her, I got the impression of a black widow spider holding many of those pens at once. This cartoon immediately sprung to mind, and since I was making her into an arachnid, I decided to make Schiff as a cockroach and Nadler into a slug-like creature. Why not? After all, they are disgusting traitors who are carrying out a coup against a lawfully elected president.
Pelosi is drunk with power.
"She repeatedly talked about the founding fathers and Constitution, but her words ring as hollow as her empty vodka bottle. She’s about power and money and that’s all. Her shame has now been passed onto the Senate for trial. Trump should be exonerated, and quickly."

Conrad Black: Democrats Must Live with Consequences of Their Foolish Impeachment Farce  "The NeverTrump campaign has sputtered to a ludicrous and pitiful end with this year. Having dragged its media lackeys and the dwindling curiosity of the country through an absurd burlesque of a “solemn, sad,” impeachment process—without alleging any actual illegalities—the NeverTrump campaign has rushed through in a procedural Star Chamber because of the “urgency” of . . . Full article.

Nancy Pelosi's Impeachment Pens Look Like Bullets




Obnoxious liberal and TV talk show favorite Rapinoe determined to make Olympics about politics

Look at ME!
Richard Jack Rail  "Megan Rapinoe's roaring again.  The International Olympic Committee published new rules that prohibit "political, religious or racial propaganda" "at medal ceremonies and Olympic venues," and Rapinoe says she "will not be silenced."  She later added that she will kneel anyway, which would force the IOC to enforce its rules or back down.
"Not one for fine distinctions, Megan understands the world only in relation to herself and, as usual, completely misses the point.  The IOC said nothing about silence.  They said she couldn't use the Olympic stage to push politics.  You can noisily talk about anything else — your girlfriend, the state of soccer, the game you just played, your house, your car, your dog.  Just don't use the Olympics to push politics.  That would include kneeling.

"If you get to do it, then everybody gets to do it, and in short order, WWIII would erupt.
"But that's okay, Megan — keep running your face.  It would give many of us satisfaction to see this woman barred from play at Tokyo in 2020 because of her obnoxiousness.  She's trying to bend the world to her will and we don't like it.  We don't like her scowling mug, her snotty comments, her arrogance, or her presumption.  Those of us who follow soccer may like to watch her play, but we turn the channel when the interviews begin.
"It remains for the IOC to show that it has the scrote to keep Megan off the field.  She will doubtless be joined by some of her teammates on the U.S. women's soccer team.  That may be when Megs notices that America really doesn't care much about her crusade.  Not only Americans — nobody else much cares, either.  Women's soccer just isn't popular the way men's soccer is.  That's nobody's fault.  Not Megan's, not mine, not the IOC's.  That's just how it is.
"Megan, you get paid right well to do something you love to do.  Many of us don't have that privilege.  If you don't like your job, do something else.

Impeachment commentary:"Impeachment Is Not the Issue, It's the 2020 Election"

Impeachment Is Not the Issue, It's the 2020 Election

Sally Zelikovsky: For Pelosi's Impeachment Democrats, It's All about the Disruption
. . . "With the Democrats, we have a case of a predictable paternalistic party that controls the media, the educational system, and the culture.  We must identify all of their vulnerabilities, which can overlap with their strengths, anticipate their moves, and devise a strategy to defeat them before they even know what hit them. Kind of like what the Democrats have been doing to us for decades." . . .
Some of us had suggested that the Democrats would exert untold pressure on weaklings in the GOP – Romney, Collins, Murkowski, Portman, Gardner, etc.—to persuade them to vote with Democrats and against the Republican majority for a “fair” trial and any number of procedural votes that only required a 51-vote majority. 
There are Republican RINOs who would side with these people: 

Bill Livingstone: Impeachment Is Not the Issue, It's the 2020 Election  . . . "What do the Democrats offer voters in response?  High taxes, open borders, gun confiscation, abolishing ICE, uprooting the electoral college, restricting free speech, a Green New Deal, free health care for illegal aliens, scrubbing bail for crimes, and more – all loony left issues that scare the bejesus out of middle America.  Making matters worse, the leading Democrat presidential candidates are a bust, uninspiring talking heads who can barely muster a respectable crowd in far-left districts.
"So how do Democrats hope to win in November?  By making Trump the issue.  By demonizing the president to such an extent that voters will turn against him despite his successes." . . .

Andrea Widburg: The Democrats' weird response to sending the impeachment articles 
to the Senate
As you watch the House Democrats' revelry, don't forget that these same House Democrats refused to give a vote of support to the ordinary Iranians facing down their violent, despotic, theocratic government.

The Democrat candidates and the Trump Economy

Rich Terrell, genius
The Democrat candidates live in Never-Neverland  . . . "Sanders, who seems to be in the lead, is the very worst of the bunch.  He is a communist who honeymooned in the USSR and, if elected, would govern as one.  That there are any Americans who support this man is an indictment of our public and private education.  Communism and socialism have been blights on every population that has suffered under those ideologies.  That Sanders has any supporters at all is proof that for two generations, American young people have been miseducated.  It is obscene, a crime against our youth.  They are being taught that the Constitution not only is "flawed," but needs to be rejected.  This is treason by faux education.
"All of the Democrat candidates ignored the phenomenal success of the American economy under Trump, the historically low unemployment among all groups, the seven million people no longer on food stamps.  They ignored Trump's decision to take out Soleimani when that was all they could talk about for the last week, how horrible that was." . . .

NFL Legend Franco Harris Says He Would Have "Beat The HELL Out Of Traitors Like Kaepernick"

Breaking First   . . . “When he puts on that suit, when he steps out on that field, now it’s more than just him. It’s his teammates, it’s the NFL, and it’s the fans.”
"Harris went on to say that the team must come first, and coaches and teammates in his day would have slammed Kaepernick over his protest.
"Harris continued to say Kaepernick is free to voice his personal position, but he could’ve done so on different platform and without dragging the football league into it. As they continued to discuss, Mediaite columnist John Ziegler asked about how Harris’ coaches and teammates would’ve confronted Kaepernick over his protest.
“ 'We had two of the meanest guys in football, who I think would’ve dealt with it that way, and that would’ve been Joe Greene and Jack Lambert,” Harris said."
