Pollak: Four Questions Republicans Should Ask Impeachment Experts at First Judiciary Hearing | Breitbart:

The House Judiciary Committee will convene its first hearing in the impeachment inquiry on Wednesday, featuring four legal scholars who will testify on the legality and constitutionality of Democrats’ effort to bring down the president.
Aside from the absurdity of beginning the process of overturning a democratic election with the testimony of elite “experts,” there is also the unfairness: Democrats have called three of the witnesses, and allowed Republicans only one.

Psychiatrists Organize to Back Impeachment Against 'Dangerous' Trump
"Psychiatrists with the World Mental Health Coalition are soliciting signatures in a campaign to support the impeachment of President Donald Trump predicated on claims that he is mentally unstable. 

...The pro-impeachment statement is one in a long line of psychiatric attacks on Trump, the petition explains. 

Duke Psychiatrist: Trump 'May Be Responsible for Many More Millions of Deaths' than Hitler. Stalin, and Mao

The petition also notes a March 2019 "mental capacity evaluation, based on a standard procedure using extensive coworkers’ and associates’ reports in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report" which the psychiatrists claim "showed that the president lacked the ability to make rational decisions."...

The Democratic Party's ultimate coup d'etat - WND

The Democratic Party's ultimate coup d'etat - WND:

With Congress mercifully in recess, America is spared – at least for now – from any more Democratic impeachment psychosis. Something to be thankful for.
However, remember that before the Ukraine-gate impeachment hysteria descended like a huge radioactive cloud engulfing Washington, D.C., the really big issue preoccupying America's governmental and media elites was "climate change," characterized by ever-more-apocalyptic predictions of extinction and planetary destruction.
To most Americans, the climate change issue revolves around a scientific and political debate over global climate trends and the role of carbon dioxide emissions generated by human activities.

"A Special Place In Hell Awaits Those That Tell Lies and Exploit People That Lost Homes to Bushfires

We can only have the greatest sympathy for anyone that lost their home to bushfire.

However, if you look at the data, and the long history of Bushfires in Australia’s, it’s a nonsense to blame ‘climate change’ for houses burnt this fire season..."

MOTUS A.D.: Who Was It That Called Journalists “Useful Idiots”

Who Was It That Called Journalists “Useful Idiots”

And they should know

There’s so much out there that I occasionally lose track of some of my favorites, like Daniel Greenfield. 

This is his latest from Frontpage Magazine: WASHINGTON POST: AMERICANS BELIEVING THE MEDIA IS A “PATRIOTIC”* DUTY:

Margaret Sullivan has been melting down for a while. But this meltdown, as the public backs further away from impeachment, is truly glorious.

“I don’t know what to believe’ is an unpatriotic cop-out. Do better, Americans.” – Washington Post

We’re in Bertolt Brecht territory here. Time to replace the people with a people the media approve of. Open borders for everyone.

More from Sullivan:

If every American did any two of the following things, the “who knows?” club could be swiftly disbanded. Subscribe to a national newspaper and go beyond the headlines into the substance of the main articles; subscribe to your local newspaper and read it thoroughly — in print, if possible; watch the top of “PBS NewsHour” every night; watch the first 15 minutes of the half-hour broadcast nightly news; tune in to a public-radio news broadcast;…

If you’re pressed for time because you just realized there’s only 24 days (that’s just a smidge over 3 weeks!) till Christmas I’ll cut right to the chase: Margaret Sullivan thinks it’s your patriotic duty to accept and internalize without question the agitprop that she and her ilk churn out. And she gets mad at you when you don’t.

First, the media barrages the public with hysterical clickbait. And then whines when the inevitable apathy sets in. "How dare you ignore me when I keep screaming at you?"

Kind of reminds me of someone…oh yeah:

How dare you!?

MORE DEBUNKING BY ANOTHER PROMINENT HISTORIAN

Instapundit Blog Archive MORE DEBUNKING BY ANOTHER PROMINENT HISTORIAN
"An interview with historian James Oakes on the New York Times’ 1619 Project. 
“Identity is very much the ideology of the professional-managerial class.”

Plus: “This is one of the things I find so disturbing about the argument that slavery is the basis of capitalism. Slavery made the slaveholders rich. But it made the South poor. And it didn’t make the North rich. The wealth of the North was based on the emerging, capitalist internal market that allowed the North to win the Civil War....
This is really worth reading, and it’s astounding that you have to go to the World Socialist Website to find such comprehensive debunking of the NYT’s twaddle.
Related: “Interesting fact about Gerald Horne, the historian whose work is most commonly cited as basis for the ‘1619 Project’ (or at least the claim that the ‘real’ goal of the American Revolution was to preserve slavery): he’s an actual, pro-Soviet Communist.”
Also, Gordon Wood weighs in. “I was surprised, as many other people were, by the scope of this thing, especially since it’s going to become the basis for high school education and has the authority of the New York Times behind it, and yet it is so wrong in so many ways. . . . 
I think the important point to make about slavery is that it had existed for thousands of years without substantial criticism, and it existed all over the New World. It also existed elsewhere in the world...

Richard Branson's Florida train kills more per mile than any other in US | Fox Business

Richard Branson's Florida train kills more per mile than any other in US | Fox Business
"MIAMI (AP) — After Richard Branson announced his Virgin Group would partner with Brightline, Florida’s new higher-speed passenger rail service, a train whisked the British billionaire, VIPs and journalists from Miami to West Palm Beach in just over an hour and then back, with no problems.
That was likely a great relief to railroad staff who have dealt with a higher than average number of deaths involving the sleek, neon-yellow trains, which travel at speeds of up to 79 mph (127 kph) through some of Florida’s most densely populated cities.
The first death involving a Brightline train, which officially launched in January 2018, happened in July 2017 during test runs.
Since then, 40 more have been killed — a rate of more than one a month and about one for every 29,000 miles (47,000 kilometers) the trains have traveled, according to an analysis of Federal Railroad Administration data by The Associated Press.
