It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us…
Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities You said it, Chuck. The past three years, the past several weeks, the past three days: all are signified and underscored by extremes. Today is no different. President Trump is being carried toward impeachment on the thinnest evidentiary basis ever, less a tide than a hundred angry ripples. And he’s loving the ride.

Why? There’s no there there. Every passing day erodes the Democrats’ case. Exculpatory evidence, further exposure of the FBI and rotten FISA process. Inspector General Michael Horowitz did not specifically say that the FBI conspired to begin the investigation into Trump and his 2016 c…

In a recent interview, tech guru Peter Diamandis made the case for the big tech Masters of the Universe becoming America’s healthcare providers.

Diamandis believes that if companies like Google and Amazon can gather even more information about every detail of your life, they will be better able to manage your health than traditional doctors and hospitals.

In an interview in Fast Company, Peter Diamandis, co-founder of the X-Prize, Singularity University, and Health Longevity Inc. argues that companies such as Apple, Google, and Amazon could do a better job than most current healthcare providers.

Fast Company asked Diamandis about his vision of the future for modern tech companies, to which he replied that soon tech companies will be our healthcare providers.
“We’re going to see Apple and Amazon and Google and all the data-driven companies that are in our homes right now become our healthcare providers,” he says, referring to smart speakers such as Google’s Assistant, Ama…

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is expected to acquit President Donald Trump in the Senate if he’s impeached in the House, not just dismiss the charges against him, two senators told CNN on Wednesday.
CNN reports:
Republicans want to have a vote on acquittal — to clear the President of the charges against him — not simply rely on a 51-vote threshold procedural motion to dismiss the hotly disputed case.

The Constitution mandates 67 votes are required to convict the President and remove him from office, a barrier widely considered too high to be reached in this case.

One vote McConnell can’t rely on is that of Vice President Mike Pence, who has “no role in impeachment,” according to a GOP leadership aide, despite being president of the Senate with the mandate to break ties.

…

One of the senators, speaking anonymously, said McConnell would not call a vote on a motion to proceed to the impeachment articles unless he knew he had the 51 votes needed to end the trial,…

“I think everyone who shed blood in the defense of liberty and the things that they believe in, on both sides, ought to be honored, and that’s exactly what the intent of this redevelopment plan is…”
Mayor Ron Nirenberg.

Whoa. There it is, right there. The true intent of the jive ‘reimagining’ of Alamo Plaza:

“…on both sides…”

Three little words, uttered by Mayor Nirenberg earlier today on the 550 KTSA Morning News with my good brother, Trey Ware.

Now, to be fair, I have been aquainted with Ron Nirenberg since his city council days, and, as a person, I like him. He’s a nice guy. I would snarf tacos and kill a couple of bottles of Barefoot Merlot with Ron any day of the week, if the opportunity ever came my way. …

Democrats are expecting wide-scale defections among their rank and file when Articles of Impeachment against President Donald Trump come to the floor for a vote next week, the Washington Post reports.

The Washington Post’s Rachael Bade and Mike DeBonis wrote late Wednesday:
House Democratic leaders are bracing for some defections among a group of moderate Democrats in swing districts who are concerned a vote to impeach President Trump could cost them their seats in November. Bade and DeBonis quote three senior House Democrat officials saying that there will be at least a half dozen Democrats who join with all Republicans to oppose impeaching President Trump, but a third senior Democrat aide told them there would probably be many more than just a half dozen defections.

Bade and DeBonis wrote:
Lawmakers and senior aides are privately predicting they will lose more than the two Democrats who opposed the impeachment inquiry rules package in late September, according to m…

Virginia Governor Ralph Northam is backing a proposed ban on “assault weapons” that would prohibit the sale of many semi-automatic firearm designs like the AR-15, but would grandfather existing owners of the weapons so long as they are registered — or else face surrender.
The Governor’s proposed ban is one of several gun control ideas being considered by the newly Democrat-controlled Virginia state legislature. According to Virginia Mercury, many Democratic party leaders are still deciding on a clear position for how they will deal with the classes of firearms and accessories they intend to ban, but that are already owned in the state.
Northam’s proposal differentiates from another controversial gun control proposal by Sen. Richard Saslaw, which would not create a carve-out for existing owners who currently possess a firearm or firearm component that may eventually be banned under Virginia state law.
“In this case, the governor’s assault weapons ban will include a grand…

Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) invited his Democratic colleagues to attend President Donald Trump’s second inauguration in 2021 during the House Judiciary Committee’s debate over articles of impeachment on Wednesday evening.
Buck led an important stretch of questioning during last Wednesday’s hearing of legal experts, when — in an exchange with George Washington University Law School Professor Jonathan Turley — he made the point that under Democrats’ weak standard of “abuse of power for political benefit,” nearly every president in the history of the United States would have to be impeached, including Trump’s immediate predecessor, Barack Obama.

On Wednesday evening, he referred to Turley again — and predicted Democrats would, by wrongfully impeaching the president, lose both their majority and the presidential election in 2020.

Noting that many of them hated President Trump so much they had boycotted his first inauguration, Buck invited them to the second, in January 2021:
Pr…

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Rich Zeoli from WPHT fills in. Mark Levin was right in 2017 when he said that the Obama Administration spied on the Trump campaign. Then, Republicans in the Senate Judiciary Committee should drag out any potential impeachment trial and call Joe and Hunter Biden to the stand, as well as every single Burisma board member. However Democrats don’t want that, they'd prefer to change things by altering court documents and saying it was a mistake. The question is whether this bad behavior will affect all citizens or is it just for the President of the United States. Imagine a world where you can use fake information to get warrants to spy on your political opponents? Sen. Lindsey Graham was clear in his statements today as he excoriated Inspector General Michael Horowitz who appeared in front of the senate judiciary committee. Graham expertly drove home the point that there was no collusion between the campaign and Russia. .John Brennan told Congress …

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency deported more than a quarter of a million illegal aliens from the United States in Fiscal Year 2019, including roughly 5,500 gang members.

Between September 2018 and October 2019, ICE agents deported about 267,258 illegal aliens from the U.S. — a more than four percent increase compared to 2018 and a nearly 20 percent increase compared to 2017 deportation levels.

This year, about 85,958 of those illegal aliens were deported from the interior of the U.S., while the other more than 181,000 illegal aliens were deported after arriving at the southern border.

The overwhelming majority of illegal aliens deported from the U.S. interior, roughly 65,000, were convicted criminals, while another 13,500 illegal aliens had pending criminal charges against them. There are anywhere between 11 and 22 million illegal aliens living in the interior of the country at any given time, straining ICE’s resources.
