Nancy Pelosi can rip up Trump's State of the Union address, but she can't change his accomplishments

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/
Washington Examiner  "As President Trump concluded his State of the Union address and the cameras began to shift to the congressional audience, a shot of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripping up the physical copy of Trump’s speech drew attention.
"This moment, though brief, showed how tensions between the president and the Democratic Party are at an all-time high. Trump spent the early minutes of his address praising his own administration’s accomplishments, both economic and cultural, and sharply contrasting them with the failures of the Obama administration. He didn’t mention impeachment, acting almost as if it didn't exist — or like it just didn't matter.
"Pelosi would have had a hard time with her base had she failed to contradict Trump somehow. And so, in order to show how she rejected what he had said, she tore up the speech. She knew she'd been beat. Impeachment failed. The Democratic Party is eating itself over Iowa’s caucus divisions. Trump’s approval is at an all-time high.
"Pelosi can shred Trump’s speech, but she can’t change the results. The results are what voters will remember heading into November."



WOW! After the State Of The Union DEMOCRAT callers into C-SPAN completely destroyed Pelosi, saying they will NEVER vote for the Democrat Party again!😮 @realDonaldTrump #sotu #StateOfTheUnion #NancyPelosi

White House officials tell @finnygo they found it “petty,” “surprising,” and “classless” https://twitter.com/whitehouse/staVideo here.;
Which Democrats will call out Pelosi for shredding the norms?  "Are there no Democrats who have the spine, the decency, or the dignity to call out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for corrupting the norms and the decorum that bestow the sacred body of our House of Representatives?
"Immediately after President Trump concluded his State of the Union address on Tuesday, Pelosi put on a show and tore up what appeared to be her printed version of the president's prepared remarks.
"Never has there been a more explicit show of disrespect during the address than when Republican South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson hissed at President Barack Obama, "You lie!" in 2009. (And I'm counting all the times Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has fallen asleep during the same event.)
"But wait, what I want to know is which Democrats are willing to buck the foremost leader of their party to show that they still have some dignity and honor? Who in the Democratic Party will prove to be the statesman or stateswoman by rebuking Pelosi?
"Which Democrat will prove that valor is still a virtue and demand that Pelosi show some remorse for her actions?
"Is there an elected Democrat out there who still has the honor and courage, or even the basic humanity, to say that enough is enough?"
"This must read absurd, but I only say it because it's the same thing the national media do, except for Republicans. Every Republican in Congress is expected to bend over for a spanking before denouncing the leader of their party (in this case, Trump).
"I don't expect Democrats to do any of this. But the mental exercise is fun."

Hilarious: Dean Obeidallah Suggest Iowa Chaos Could Be Due To Russians

If you think Trump or his Russian BFF Vladimir Putin are behind the
it's only reasonable given we know both Trump and Russia hate American democracy. But as of now there's no proof either were behind it.

Rush Limbaugh's shocking cancer diagnosis sparks flurry of nasty tweets with some even saying they don't care if the conservative radio host dies

UK Daily Mail 


 "Rush Limbaugh's shocking cancer diagnosis has sparked a flurry of nasty tweets about the conservative radio host and Republican kingmaker.

"The 69-year-old broke the news of his advanced lung cancer during his radio program on Monday, telling listeners he was taking some time off to determine the best course of treatment for himself.
"While his supporters were quick to send over their well wishes, some of the controversial radio host's critics were less than supportive about his declining health. 
"Some appeared to celebrate his cancer diagnosis while others pointed out his prior controversial beliefs about the U.S. health care system. " . . .

Rush Limbaugh's cancer: vitriol from the left, but Tulsi shows class

Independent Sentinel: Rush’s illness proves once again the hate comes from the left "On Monday, we were given the terrible news that conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh has advanced lung cancer.
"There was an outpouring of prayers and support for the man who pioneered talk radio.
"There was also pure hatred from most on the tolerant, civil left." . . .
"A 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, Tulsi Gabbard, the congresswoman from Hawaii, weighed in to wish Limbaugh “God’s love.”
To Rush Limbaugh: I and my family send our love and best wishes to you and your loved ones at this difficult moment in your life. May your hearts and minds be filled with and strengthened by God's love.
"CNN's Brian Stelter’s thread was filled with despicable people, and the thread is still up. He hasn’t commented and the people continue to wish harm to come to Rush."


The Most Egregious Series of 'Corrupt Acts' Ever

Jack Cashill
Johnny Chung described the state of affairs a bit more colorfully. “The White House is like a subway,” he told the Thompson committee. “You have to put in coins to open the gates.” Chung admitted to funneling $100,000 from the Chinese Military to the Democratic National Committee.

"The century-long attempt to kill capitalism in America gained a dramatic head of steam in the 1960s with the rapid ascendency of progressivism, a Marxist movement that would quietly seize control of the Democratic Party over the last half-century.  
Which was something different. For most of America’s 244-year history, the dominant political parties that evolved had a common goal constantly working to improve the country they both loved.  In the 1860s, a Republican president went to war to end slavery.  A century later, a Democratic president launched another well-intentioned war, a war on poverty.  Democrats and Republicans alike largely saw their country as a force for good, both at home and abroad.  Beginning in the 1960s, that widely- shared view began to show cracks as the progressive movement began tightening its grip on the modern Democratic Party.  Democrat icons of the 1960s -- Adlai Stevenson, Henry “Scoop” Jackson, Sam Nunn, Hubert Humphrey and JFK, to name a few -- were genuine patriots who loved their country, a sentiment that was shared by a large majority of that era’s rank and file Democrats.  Such is no longer the case. Here are four ways Democrats are looking to end the idea of America altogether:
. . . 
"Democrats like Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi were in Congress for all of this. Schiff was there for the tail end. If they were really concerned about acts that “endangered U.S. national security” they would have moved to impeach the traitor themselves."

The Iowa Caucus Just Crashed and Burned and Democrats Will Never Hear the End of It

Via American Thinker
PJ Media "The Iowa caucus data operation just crashed and burned. That means that it could take days to get find out who actually won the Democratic contest – the first of the 2020 presidential election cycle.
"Gobsmacked candidates have come out to throw confetti, drop balloons, and declare "on to New Hampshire!"
"There's nothing else to do except to declare victory and move on. No one really knows, right?
"Joe Biden's lawyers have sent the Iowa caucus organizers a sternly worded letter ordering them not to reveal the winner until the results are cleared with them." . . .
. . . Speculation has begun in earnest. Bernie Sanders can't help but think that mainstream Dems are after him again and will do anything to keep him from the party nomination. Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton's data czar and strategist from 2016, has had suspicion cast on him since he participated in conceiving of the Iowa caucus data platform with Harvard University. Or, of course, Democrats could blame the Russians again without allowing the FBI another look-see under the hood. That'll be good for another impeachment of Trump in a second term, right?" . . .

Adam Schiff Warns Donald Trump Could Give Alaska to the Russians If Not Impeached

Breitbart  



. . . "Schiff disagreed with the president’s lawyers, who argued that Trump’s actions were not criminal and should thus not be considered impeachable.
"He warned that they were setting a precedent that would only encourage Trump to pursue “unacceptable” actions if exonerated.
“ 'Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election,” he said. “Or decide to move to Mar-a-Lago personally and let Jared Kushner run the country, delegating to him the decision whether to go to war.”
"Schiff said Senate Republicans would create a “runaway presidency” if they failed to remove him from office.
“ 'We have known since the day we brought these charges that the bar to conviction requiring a full two-thirds of the Senate may be prohibitively high,” he said. “And yet, the alternative is a runaway presidency and a nation whose elections are open to the highest bidder.' ” . . .

Adam Schiff wraps up impeachment with egg all over his face  "With a listing, massively failing impeachment ship to navigate back home, and news focused on Iowa, you'd think House impeachment manager Adam Schiff would want to make his grand exit closing speech with some kind of dignity.

"No such luck.  He went out like a nut instead, throwing out crazy talk and reminding voters that the whole thing was a cooked up plot by anti-Trump lunatics." . . .


Rush Limbaugh's Lung Cancer Announcement

Rush Limbaugh says he’s been diagnosed with lung cancer  More here 
. . . "Many years ago, I wrote at my blog an appreciation of Rush, which he was kind enough to read on the air. It was then and remains the single most exciting day I ever had as a blogger. In it, I related a conversation I had with someone who was afraid to listen to Rush lest Rush change his Leftist point of view. I closed with these words, which are as true now as they were a decade ago when I wrote them:. . . " Andrea Widburg



Rush Limbaugh says he’s been diagnosed with lung cancer

Breitbart on Rush:  . . ."
And I feel thankful at Thanksgiving, but Christmas it really gets to me. But over the years, a lot of people have been very nice telling me how much this program has meant to them. But whatever that is, it pales in comparison to what you all have meant to me. And I can’t describe this. But I know you’re there every day. I can see you. It’s strange how, but I know you’re there.
"I know you’re there in great numbers, and I know that you understand everything I say. The rest of the world may not when they hear it expressed a different way, but I know that you do. You’ve been one of the greatest sources of confidence that I’ve had in my life. So I hope I will be talking about this as little as necessary in the coming days.
"But we’ve got a great bunch of doctors, a great team assembled. We’re at full-speed ahead on this, and it’s just now a matter of implementing what we are gonna be told later this week. So I’ll be back here. I hope I’ll be back Thursday. If not, it will be as soon as I can — and know that every day I’m not here, I’ll be thinking about you and missing you. Thank you very much."
Rush’s cancer announcement gives leftists another chance to show their hate  "Once upon a time in America, a country with a two-party political system stretching back more than two hundred years, when people of one party learned that a respected member of the other party was ill, they put aside their political differences to express sympathy and extend good wishes.
"On the Republican side of the aisle, that continues to be the case. On the Democrat side, though, too many people no longer pretend to feel sympathy for the sick or the bereaved.
"To these fanatic leftists, all conservatives are effectively Hitler. This means that the only right and proper response to hearing bad news about a Republican is to celebrate. And that, sadly, is how some Democrats and their NeverTrump fellow travelers are choosing to respond to the news about Rush Limbaugh’s cancer diagnosis." . . .

Mike Bloomberg Ad Uses Obama-Era Footage Of Caged Migrants To Criticize Trump

Daily Caller   "Mike Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City and contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, released an anti-Trump campaign advertisement that included footage of caged migrants in 2014 — during the Obama era.
" 'The Bloomberg campaign released an ad that was meant to highlight unflattering events that have occurred during the Trump administration, such as the white nationalist march in Charlottesville, Virginia, the aftermath of a Florida school shooting, the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, and immigration enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border." . . .Video at the site  If this video does not open
. . . "The campaign took direct aim at the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement measures, clipping images of Border Patrol agents doing their job and featuring footage of detained migrants. However, a review by the Daily Caller News Foundation found that one still image used in the ad was taken in 2014 — during the Obama administration." . . .

CNN Says It's Excluded From Lunch With Trump

Newsmax


CNN anchors Wolf Blitzer, Don Lemon, and Anderson Cooper.
CNN said  the network has been excluded from a Tuesday
 luncheon with  President Donald Trump
"President Donald Trump is reportedly excluding CNN from a Tuesday luncheon with network anchors in advance of his State of the Union address.
"CNN anchors Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer had attended last year’s lunch. However, they are not invited this year, the news network said.
"Presidents traditionally invite anchors from all major networks to dine in advance of the State of the Union. Conversations during the lunch are considered off the record. However, the anchors are able to talk to the president before they oversee coverage of the speech.
"CNN reported it is the first time in "recent memory that a president has singled out one network and opted not invite any anchors from there.”
"White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham did not respond to a request for comment, according to the news network. 
"Trump has regularly attacked CNN during his time in the White House and has refused all the network’s request for a sit down interview." . . .
How much does CNN hate Trump? 93% of coverage is negative
Sort of like this? Obama takes on hate and Trump takes on Obama
