COLUMN OF THE WEEK
David Marcus 1/31
The most amazing thing about Democrats and their allies in
the media is that they never actually lose. Any time it seems like they lose,
it’s actually the result of cheating and chicanery.
Hillary Clinton didn’t lose 2016, the Russians interfered
and the Electoral College is racist. Stacy Abrams didn’t lose in Georgia, the
election was stolen. And sure enough, the calls have already come out to say
that House Democrats aren’t really going to lose the impeachment trial, because
without additional witnesses the trial isn’t legitimate and the acquittal isn’t
real.
Not this time. Mitch McConnell, President Trump’s legal team, and the GOP made
fools of the Democrats and drank their milkshake. But this will not stop the
aggrieved cackling heads from claiming this is all somehow fake. Take a gander
at the sad-sack gaslighting below……
This
is the behavior of toddlers told they won’t be stopping for ice cream. “It’s
not fair.” Let’s break down this tremendously stupid argument. It was perfectly
fair for Democrats to set all the rules in the House impeachment process. They
held secret testimony, and then they held hearings with no GOP witnesses. Then
they held hearings where maybe the White House could have witnesses, at
Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler’s discretion, but those witnesses couldn’t have
legal counsel.
Then instead of subpoenaing the witnesses they wanted like
John Bolton and Mick Mulvaney, the Democrats said, “Oh my goodness, there’s no
time for that, this is an emergency, we have to impeach Trump RIGHT NOW!” Even
without those witnesses. At that point, they sat on the articles of impeachment
for weeks hoping for some miracle to save their hopeless case. And by the way,
if the acquittal isn’t legitimate because we didn’t hear from Bolton, how on
earth is the impeachment itself legitimate?
The speed with which coordinated Democratic talking points
infect the news media represents some of the most efficient propaganda the
nation has ever seen. Efficient, but not effective. Only those already in the
pews of the Church of Orange Man Bad are buying this latest nonsense argument.
The U.S. Senate decides what an impeachment trial looks like, and whatever they
decide is by definition legitimate.
Now that this unbelievable waste of five months inflicted on
the American people in an attempt to undermine their democratic rights is
coming to an end, the takeaway is not that Republicans acted unfairly, it’s
that Democrats predictably got their rear ends kicked. Those same Democrats
were warned for months that this was the only outcome their doomed impeachment
could lead to, but nonetheless they persisted, and made fools of themselves.
Conservatives today should be celebrating and mocking a
media that still doesn’t understand how wrong it constantly is and why. The
leftist establishment took their best shot at President Trump and today it
glances harmlessly off his chin. Make no mistake: Donald Trump’s acquittal is
real, and it is spectacular.
Another good read: “The
Pot-Kettle-Black Impeachment……Rep. Adam Schiff said that if Barack Obama had encouraged a
foreign power to investigate a political opponent, then (he) would have
committed an impeachable offense….Schiff strangely spoke as though addressing a
hypothetical. Not only did the Obama administration link arms with foreigners
to take down a political rival, but Schiff also ran interference for that
propaganda…”

“The problem today is not that religious people are trying
to impose their views on nonreligious people, it’s the opposite — it’s that
militant secularists are trying to impose their values on religious people and
they’re not accommodating the freedom of religion of people of faith.”

“In researching my new book, "Profiles in Corruption:

in politics than his wife Jane.”

The fracas over Don Lemon of CNN laughing at his panel's
insults about the intelligence of Trump supporters raises a larger issue: the
ignorant belief that Trump supporters are much dumber than the general public
and much dumber than those who supported Clinton in 2016. Actually, best evidence is that Trump supporters score higher
on verbal ability tests and they do better on most science knowledge tests too.

Based on its own ideology, the American Left must now
conclude that their own educational policies are racist. A groundbreaking study
by a group called Brightbeam (“a network of education activists demanding
better education and a brighter future for every child”) has discovered that
cities politically dominated by progressives have far greater gaps between the
average educational achievement levels of whites and minorities of blacks,
Hispanics, and Native Americans than cities politically dominated by
conservatives.

WISE
WORDS
“A bureaucrat is the most despicable of men, though he is
needed as vultures are needed, but one hardly admires vultures whom bureaucrats
so strangely resemble. I have yet to meet a bureaucrat who was not petty, dull,
almost witless, crafty or stupid, an oppressor or a thief, a holder of little
authority in which he delights, as a boy delights in possessing a vicious dog.
Who can trust such creatures?”
-Marcus
