THIS WEEK’S NEWS
Forty-four House Democrats
are in support of the New Way Forward Act, a bill that would make deportation
of criminals harder, calls for the decriminalization of illegal immigration,
and would bring deported criminal illegal aliens back into the U.S at taxpayer
expense. “possibly the
most “radical” immigration legislation in U.S. history”. Rep Jayapal (D-WA) is one of the sponsors.
The House of Representatives also passed a bill on Friday
that would make illegal immigrants eligible for damages from their employer if
their labor rights are violated.

COLUMN OF THE WEEK
Democrats reap bitter fruits of impeachment as Trump reaches
his apex
Washington /examiner 2/4
President
Trump is absolutely sitting on top of the world. This is the highest point of
his presidency so far. Consider what has happened in the last four days, and
the reasons become clear. On Saturday, Republican senators stuck together. In
voting not to prolong a farcical Senate trial with a predetermined outcome,
they refused to honor the politically motivated impeachment that House
Democrats brought on a flimsy pretext.
On
Sunday, the Trump campaign aired ads during the Super Bowl. He advertised to a
politically mixed sports crowd, but the point of the ads was not to rile up his
base the way most candidates do during primary season. No, he was doing
something Republicans so often talk about and so seldom do: He was reaching out
to black voters, just as he would do later in his State of the Union speech,
and he was doing it for real, based on actual legislative accomplishments in
the area of criminal justice reform.
On
Monday night, in Iowa, Trump’s political rivals fumbled away one of the best
public relations moments they built into their election calendar. Given the
chance to emerge from the first-in-the-nation caucuses with a front-runner and
momentum enough to consolidate their party, Democrats instead failed to produce
a numerical result for at least 24 hours. The results from their unexpectedly
low-turnout contest are still being tallied, but the moment is now gone. Their
nominating field is in chaos, and only one thing seems certain: Joe Biden,
supposedly the strongest candidate to take on Trump in 2020, is wounded,
perhaps mortally, by what is looking like a distant fourth-place finish.
On
the same night, Trump won the Iowa Republican caucuses with more than 97% of
the vote. This demonstrated emphatically that there exists no serious
opposition to his candidacy within the Republican Party. If Democrats are
divided, Republicans have never been so united.
As
if to underscore this fact, Gallup released a poll on Tuesday showing Trump with a 94% job approval rating
among Republican respondents, but, even more importantly, the survey showed him
with a 49% rating among all voters, the highest of his presidency, and a 63%
approval rating for his handling of the economy, up 6 points since November. A
majority approved of his recent action against top Iranian terrorists in Iraq,
and the share of people “satisfied with the way things are going in the U.S.”
is at its highest point since 2005. Mind you, this poll was taken during Trump’s impeachment
trial and before his State of the Union speech.
Then,
on Tuesday night, Trump delivered the speech. From the dais, he looked down on
the very House Democrats who impeached him frivolously. He addressed the very
Democratic senators who will vote out of partisan loyalty to remove him from
office. "Jobs are booming, incomes
are soaring, poverty is plummeting, crime is falling, confidence is surging,
and our country is thriving and highly respected again," he said.
"The years of economic decay are over," he said. "Our economy is
the best it's ever been."
Trump
described his agenda as "relentlessly pro-worker, pro-family, pro-growth,
and, most of all, pro-American." He recited one economic accomplishment
after another: the lifting of 10 million people out of welfare, the record low
levels of black poverty and unemployment, the surge in job creation far over
and above all projections made during the Obama era, etc. It's as if he were
saying to those Democrats, "Go ahead. Impeach this. Vote to remove this
from office. I dare you."
Tomorrow,
Trump will be acquitted in the Senate impeachment trial, which is what a
majority wants, again, according to Gallup’s poll. For the next nine months, he
will boast that the vote to acquit him constitutes his exoneration. He will
argue that Democrats' socialist policies threaten to plunge the nation back
into economic weakness and foreign policy chaos.
Trump
has never had it better. His approval rating was at its highest point before
the speech. It may rise yet afterward. His opponents are divided and confused,
and the economy continues to run strong. As long as it does so, it will be
making the best possible case for his reelection.
Did
Democrats ever expect impeachment to turn out like this?
Important read: “Facing
Up To the Revolution” by Angelo Codevilla
“Some conservatives,
rejoicing that impeachment turned into yet another of #TheResistance’s
political train wrecks and that President Trump is likely to be reelected by a
bigger margin than in 2016, expect that a chastened ruling class will return to
respecting the rest of us. They are mistaken. Trump’s reelection, by itself,
cannot protect us. The ruling class’s intolerance of the 2016 election’s
results was intolerance of us….”

“(Pelosi’s) hissy fit crescendoed into a shocking spectacle
as Pelosi, second-in-line to the presidency of the United States under the
Constitution, stood and with dramatic flair tore her copy of the State of the
Union in half. For all the lows of the past few years—her incoherence, her inability
to control her know-nothing freshman “squad,” her failure to come up with a
realistic policy alternative to Trumpism, it was Pelosi’s lowest moment. She
ripped up a speech that showcased the best of America; achievements that no
other country in the world can boast. Heroes of every color and economic
background—patriots who have sacrificed so much, even their lives, in
battle—and young future leaders. Her display, however, gave away the result of
the game. Just like her hometown football team, Pelosi has lost. She has been
defeated by Donald Trump.”
