Jim Jordan Hopes Senate Dismisses Impeachment 'Right Away' -- 'Facts Are on the President's Side' | Breitbart
Jim Jordan Hopes Senate Dismisses Impeachment 'Right Away' -- 'Facts Are on the President's Side' | Breitbart:
“We’ve already had the most unfair process I’ve ever seen on the House side,” Jordan stated. “Republicans weren’t given subpoena authority, the president had no due process, he couldn’t cross-examine witnesses, Adam Schiff prevented witnesses from answering Republican questions during depositions, so we’ve had the most unfair process I’ve ever seen — you can’t go to the Senate and say, ‘Oh, we’re only going to let the Democrats get the witnesses they want.’ I hope they don’t do that.”

Trump: ‘We Didn’t Have Time to Call Up Nancy, Who Is Not Operating With a Full Deck’ | CNSNews
(CNSNews.com) – Shortly after House Democrats passed a nonbinding resolution attempting to limit President Trump’s ability to strike Iran without authorization from Congress, Trump explained his reasons for failing to inform Congress before the strike that took out Qassem Soleimani.
He didn’t have time; he didn’t trust the Democrats who are too busy trying to impeach him; and he feared leaks, he explained to his supporters at a Toledo, Ohio rally.
..."We got a call; we heard where he was; we knew the way he was getting there. And we had to make a decision. We didn’t have time to call up Nancy, who is not operating with a full deck,” Trump said, drawing cheers.
“Now they want us to call – can you imagine calling crooked Adam Schiff? He’s so crooked. So crooked. Shifty Schiff."..."

Lawmakers Should Not Resurrect Pure Michigan Subsidy Program – Michigan Capitol Confidential
Lawmakers Should Not Resurrect Pure Michigan Subsidy Program – Michigan Capitol Confidential
"Michigan began 2020 without its taxpayer-funded Pure Michigan advertising campaign, having zeroed it out during last year’s budget debate.
The appropriation should remain at zero as the Pure Michigan program is demonstrably ineffective, expensive and unfair.
...I am the co-author (with Michael Hicks) of a 2016 study of Pure Michigan that uses almost 40 years of publicly available data to isolate the impact of state tourism promotion spending on the tourism industry.
The best performing sector in our study — accommodations such as hotel and motels — saw an increase of just $20,000 in extra economic activity for every $1 million increase in state tourism promotion.
In other words, government tourism promotion is a large net negative.
Ours is not the only study of its kind..."

Bernie field organizer: Send Trump supporters to gulag
Bernie field organizer: Send Trump supporters to gulag
"...An undercover video published by Project Veritas on Tuesday shows a field organizer for Sen. Bernie Sanders’s 2020 campaign saying Soviet gulags were actually a positive phenomenon, suggesting that some similar program could re-educate Trump supporters and billionaires.
"...An undercover video published by Project Veritas on Tuesday shows a field organizer for Sen. Bernie Sanders’s 2020 campaign saying Soviet gulags were actually a positive phenomenon, suggesting that some similar program could re-educate Trump supporters and billionaires.
The video begins with a Project Veritas journalist asking an individual identified as Sanders organizer Kyle Jurek if “MAGA people” could be re-educated if Bernie wins the White House.
This is a preview of what is to come...
“We gotta try,” Jurek replies. “In Nazi Germany, after the fall of the Nazi Party, there was a shit-ton of the populace that was f***ing Nazified.”
“Germany had to spend billions of dollars re-educating their f***ing people to not be Nazis,” he continues.
“We’re probably going to have to do the same f***ing thing here.”
“That’s kind of what all Bernie’s whole f***ing like, ‘hey, free education for everybody’ because we’re going to have to teach you to not be a f***ing Nazi,” he added.
In another part of the video, Jurek is seen discussing Soviet Union dictator Joseph Stalin’s use of gulags, where he claims that the CIA was overly critical of them.
“People were actually paid a living wage in the gulags, they conjugal visits in gulags, gulags were meant for re-education,” he says.This is a preview of what is to come...

William Barr: Pensacola Navy Base Shooting was 'Act of Terrorism'
William Barr: Pensacola Navy Base Shooting was 'Act of Terrorism':
The United States is removing nearly two dozen Saudi military students from a training program and sending them back to Saudi Arabia following after an investigation into a deadly shooting by a Saudi aviation student at a Florida navy base last month, Attorney General William Barr said Monday.
Many of the 21 cadets had contact with child pornography and possessed jihadist or anti-American material, Barr said. None is accused of having advanced knowledge of the shooting, which Barr said was motivated by “jihadist ideology” and has been classified as an act of terrorism.

Democrats Always Choose America’s Enemies Over America
"Here’s an idea that our Democrat politician friends might want to try if they want to stop being back-stabbing garbage people.
It’s kind of a radical notion and a little outside the box, but here goes: How about, just once, you stop sucking-up to the foreign bastards who are attacking our country and take America’s side?
Maybe you should not back and excuse the gay-hanging, women-stoning, airline-downing, Obama check-cashing, Israel-threatening, American-murdering cultists ruling Iran.
Just a thought.
It’s kind of crazy, but it just might work.
Now, I know what you’re thinking.
You’re thinking what your man-bunned grad student TA taught you, that “Hey, America sucks and these foreigners have a good point about America’s history of imperialism and general badness.” Well, this is a stupid thing to think and you Democrats should stop thinking it..."

Glenn Harlan Reynolds--Have you hugged a fracker today? U.S. oil expansion is keeping us safe
Have you hugged a fracker today? U.S. oil expansion is keeping us safe
"For decades, US foreign policy and defense strategy revolved around keeping the flow of oil from the Middle East going.
Now it’s an afterthought.
Right now, the country with the world’s biggest oil reserves — Venezuela — is putting out a fraction of its traditional production, as a corrupt and inept socialist government has lost the ability even to keep the golden goose going.
Meanwhile, Iraq is in turmoil, Iran is crazy and Saudi Arabia has been looking shaky.
Despite all this, oil and gas prices are holding steady, and while what’s going on in the Middle East constitutes a diplomatic crisis, it’s nothing like the sort of earthshaking trouble it would have been a decade or two ago.
You can thank the frackers for our energy independence
Why is that?..."

Former FBI Agent: Wray Needs To Recognize The FBI Misbehaved — Regardless Of IG’s Opinion | The Daily Caller
Former FBI Agent: Wray Needs To Recognize The FBI Misbehaved — Regardless Of IG’s Opinion | The Daily Caller:
In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, former FBI Director Robert Mueller set out to make the FBI into an intelligence organization. The FBI’s culture had previously been rooted in law enforcement. A law-enforcement agency deals in facts, which may have to be sworn to in court. An intelligence agency deals in estimates or best guesses. Guesses are not allowed in court. Intelligence agencies use deception routinely. Bending a rule, or shading the truth, comes naturally to the intelligence culture. These are the very behaviors the IG report describes.
