January 15, 2020 – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is gloating because President Trump is “impeached for life,” and “there’s nothing the Senate can do that can ever erase that.” Like a prosecutor telling a defendant, “Even if acquitted, you’re indicted for life, and you’ll never shake the disgrace.” So much for the noble principle of

December 9, 2019 – House Democrats are stampeding to impeach President Trump without evidence of any crime. On Monday, Dems will make their case based on Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff’s impeachment report. It claims to present “stark evidence of misconduct.” In reality, the report plays tricks to frame Trump and damage his re-electability, while bending
