Senate Votes Down Extra Impeachment Witnesses, Paves Way for Trump Acquittal
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Senate on Friday voted down a motion to allow for additional witnesses to testify as part of the upper chamber’s impeachment trial, all but ensuring a quick acquittal of President Donald Trump.

Well, now you can add impeachment to the list of things the Democrats have used to try and undo the election of 2016. The infamous ‘golden shower’ Russian Dossier, the Russian Collusion hoax, the cringe-inducing Mueller Report when he took the stand, and the Blockbuster!!, Game-Changing!!, the WALLS ARE CLOSING IN!!! impeachment scam started by a corrupt Congress for purely political motives. Today, the Senate has all but guaranteed that President Donald Trump will be acquitted next week. Now what?

The Democrats have allowed their hatred for Donald Trump, catalyzed by their over-arching sadness at watching Hillary lose, to drive them to pathetically laughable acts of desperation that have only gotten crazier and crazier. Now with this latest defeat, combined with having no Democratic candidate able to beat Trump, and nearly out of time, they only have one option left. Can you guess what it is?

Senate Votes Down Extra Impeachment Witnesses, Paves Way for Trump Acquittal

FROM BREITBART NEWS: The 51 to 49 vote thwarted Democrats’ ongoing effort to hear from current and former Trump administration officials such as acting White House Chief of State Mick Mulvaney and former National Security Advisor John Bolton.

Bolton shot to the top of the Democrats’ witness wish list after a New York Times report alleged that his forthcoming book — The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir — contains allegations that President Trump sought to make U.S. military aid to Ukraine conditional on investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden, and his son, Hunter Biden. President Trump vehemently denied the report and call the book “nasty & untrue.”

House Democrats’ impeachment managers failed to convince enough moderate Republicans to cross the aisle, falling short of the 51 votes need for more witnesses. Late Thursday evening, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) revealed that he will join the overwhelming majority of his colleagues to vote against hearing from others.

“I worked with other senators to make sure that we have the right to ask for more documents and witnesses, but there is no need for more evidence to prove something that has already been proven and that does not meet the United States Constitution’s high bar for an impeachable offense,” the retiring Tennessee Republican said in a statement.

Despite Alexander’s opposition, Democrats still had a glimmer of hope if Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) voted their way, which would have set up Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to decide on casting the tie-breaking vote. However, Roberts’ aversion to politics had always made the prospect of him voting highly improbable.

However, Murkowski announced Friday that she will oppose hearing from other witnesses. In a pointed statement, Murkowski slammed the impeachment process’s “partisan nature” and said Congress had failed to do its job.

“You’re impeached forever,” Pelosi said with a big grin in an interview with HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.” “No matter what the Senate does, that can never be erased.” READ MORE

“I worked for a fair, honest, and transparent process, modeled after the Clinton trial, to provide ample time for both sides to present their cases, ask thoughtful questions, and determine whether we need more,” said  Murkowski. “The House chose to send articles of impeachment that are rushed and flawed. I carefully considered the need for additional witnesses and documents, to cure the shortcomings of its process, but ultimately decided that I will vote against considering motions to subpoena.”

“Given the partisan nature of this impeachment from the very beginning and throughout, I have come to the conclusion that there will be no fair trial in the Senate. I don’t believe the continuation of this process will change anything. It is sad for me to admit that, as an institution, the Congress has failed,” she added.

Only two Republicans — Sens. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and Susan Collins (R-ME) — voted in favor of the motion for more witnesses, with the former saying he believes that it was important to hear from Bolton. Shortly after Alexander’s announcement, Collins said she would vote for witnesses as “the most sensible way to proceed.”

“I believe hearing from certain witnesses would give each side the opportunity to more fully and fairly make their case, resolve any ambiguities, and provide additional clarity. Therefore, I will vote in support of the motion to allow witnesses and documents to be subpoenaed,” Collins said.

“If this motion passes, I believe that the most sensible way to proceed would be for the House Managers and the President’s attorneys to attempt to agree on a limited and equal number of witnesses for each side. If they can’t agree, then the Senate could choose the number of witnesses,” added the senator.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) voted in favor of extra witnesses. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) also voted in favor. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued a statement after Friday’s vote, predicting that the trial will draw to a close “in the coming days.”

“A majority of the U.S. Senate has determined that the numerous witnesses and 28,000-plus pages of documents already in evidence are sufficient to judge the House Managers’ accusations and end this impeachment trial. There is no need for the Senate to re-open the investigation which the House Democratic majority chose to conclude and which the Managers themselves continue to describe as “overwhelming” and “beyond any doubt,” said McConnell.

“Never in Senate history has this body paused an impeachment trial to pursue additional witnesses with unresolved questions of executive privilege that would require protracted litigation. We have no interest in establishing such a new precedent, particularly for individuals whom the House expressly chose not to pursue,” the Kentucky Republican added.

“Senators will now confer among ourselves, with the House Managers, and with the President’s counsel to determine next steps as we prepare to conclude the trial in the coming days,” he concluded. READ MORE

In Washington Today, The Pro-Palestinian Members of Our Own US Congress And Senate Booed And Boycotted Speech By Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The mood was tense. Benjamin Netanyahu entered the chamber to roaring applause from Republicans but Democrats looked like they’d like to kill him.

The American system of government in Washington DC has been so throughly saturated with Socialists, Communists, Marxists and Leftists of every variety that it’s becoming harder and harder to remember what we used to be and what we used to stand for. You have all these legally-elected anarchists going on and on about “our democracy” when our Founding Fathers never created a democracy, they built a Constitutional Republic. The “democracy’ you hear so much about is is nothing more than talking points from the people’s workers party.

“But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.” 2 Peter 2:10 (KJB)

Earlier today, tens of thousands of presumably American citizens, many of them representing the United Auto Workers, tore down American flags while brandishing Palestinian ones, demanding that Benjamin Netanyahu not be allowed to address Congress. Our pretend president did not attend, our DEI vice president did not attend, and the Democrats that did, like war criminal Rashida Tlaib, sat in silent protest of the visiting Jewish prime minister. Don’t bother looking for the America you once knew, she is gone and in her place sits Jezebel. NTEB has always stood with the Jewish people, we have always stood with the nation of Israel, and Lord willing, always will. Am Yisrael Chai.

Netanyahu calls out Democratic critics and protesters in speech to Congress, lays out Hamas threats

FROM USA TODAY: As he stepped down the aisle shaking hands with lawmakers, he walked by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who has called for new elections to replace Netanyahu. Schumer is the highest ranking Jewish elected official in the U.S. A number of guests to Netanyahu’s speech wore bright yellow shirts under jackets that read “Seal the deal NOW” in reference to a cease-fire deal in Gaza that would see Israeli hostages released. Periodically throughout the speech, they stood up to reveal their shirts until they were removed from the chamber and arrested.

And as Netanyahu spoke, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., the only Palestinian American in Congress and one of Israel’s most vocal critics, held up a sign that read “WAR CRIMINAL” on one side and “GUILTY OF GENOCIDE” on the other. Rep. Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass., who was seated next to Tlaib, moved away from her when she started to display the signs. At one point, conservative hardliner, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., moved to sit next to Tlaib and had a whispered conversation with her. It’s not clear what the two spoke about.

Several prominent Democrats announced ahead of the speech that they wouldn’t be in attendance. While the chamber appeared to be full during his address, several GOP lawmakers were scattered throughout the Democratic side of the aisle. Roughly half of all congressional Democrats were not in attendance.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., instead met with Israeli citizens whose families were victims of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. The Israel-Hamas War began last October, when Hamas militants killed more than 1,000 Israelis and captured around 250 hostages. Israel retaliated with a bombing campaign that has bombarded cities, forced more than 85% of the population in Gaza to be displaced and caused starvation among hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., the No. 2 ranking Senate Democrat, called Israel’s conduct in Gaza a “brutal strategy beyond any acceptable level of self-defense.”

Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., Senate President Pro Tempore, skipped the speech and handed off the job of presiding over the event to Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md.

Highlighting the sensitivity of Netanyahu’s address, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., sent a letter to lawmakers warning there will be a “zero-tolerance policy” for any disturbances during the speech. If any of their guests interrupt the proceedings, the letter says they will be removed from the House chamber and “subject to arrest.”

The chairs of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Intelligence Committee and Armed Services Committee, all Democrats, sent their own letter to Biden ahead of the speech urging the president and negotiators to quickly secure a ceasefire deal that would end the war and release the hostages.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib Incites Insurrection Against The US Government With Massive Pro-Hamas Protestors Who Stormed The Cannon House Rotunda In ‘J6’ Style

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Pro-Palestinian protestors led by Muslim Rep Rashida Tlaib are taking over the U.S. Capitol as hundreds demand a ceasefire between Hamas terrorists in Gaza and Israel.

Muslim congresswoman Rashida Tlaib stoked the flames of hate today at what became a bona fide insurrection against the United States government where they declared their love for Hamas in Gaza, and their unyielding hatred for the nation of Israel. What happened today is not one bit different from what happened on January 6th, but you wanna bet that none of these anti-government combatants will see any jail time at all? The rules are very different for Democrats and Progressives than for Conservatives.

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)

Rashida Tlaib deserves to be immediately relieved of her duty as a serving United States member of Congress, as do the rest of their anti-Israel, pro-Hamas ‘Squad’. It is sad to watch America being dismantled piece by piece, and it’s tragic that no one is lifting a finger to stop it. Republicans can’t even get it together to elect a new Speaker of the House, much less solve any of these vexing problems. I love the America our Founding Fathers created, I even love the America I grew up in. But whatever this thing is that has replaced it, this thing we call ‘America’ but isn’t, I don’t care for one, tiny bit.

Pro-Palestinian protesters invade the Capitol: More than 100 demonstrators led by Rashida Tlaib are arrested after demanding Israeli ceasefire by staging a sit-down in a rotunda in the Congress complex

FROM THE UK DAILY MAIL: The demonstration comes a day after a bombing of a hospital in Gaza killed at least 500 Palestinians. The protestors, dressed in black shirts that read ‘JEWS SAY CEASEFIRE NOW’  and ‘NOT IN OUR NAME’ took over the large rotunda in the Cannon House Office Building.

The demonstrators held posters with messages like ‘LET GAZA LIVE’ and ‘MOURN THE DEAD, AND FIGHT LIKE HELL FOR THE LIVING.’

Capitol Police made 100 arrests as the group got louder and more disruptive with chants and singing. They cut off public access to the Capitol complex as swarms of angry Palestinian advocates flooded the Cannon building.

Capitol Police said of the mass arrests: ‘We warned the protestors to stop demonstrating and when they did not comply we began arresting them.’

Rep. Randy Weber posted on X a video of a sign he had hanging outside his office that said ‘I stand with Israel’ that had been torn down by protesters.  Some Democrats have claimed that Israel committed a war crime by intentionally targeting a hospital – a claim the Israeli Defense Force has avidly denied. The Defense Department said they believed it was ‘highly improbable’ Israeli forces were behind the explosion that killed hundreds of people at the Gaza hospital.

The blast threw Biden’s trip to the Middle East into chaos: a scheduled meeting in Jordanian capital Amman with the king of Jordan and the presidents of Egypt and Palestine was canceled in the fallout of the deadly air strike.

Progressive Rep. Rashida Tlaib claimed that Israeli leaders have lied before about their actions after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu assured his government was not behind the bombing of the Palestinian hospital.

She spoke to the group in a tearful address before they headed into the Capitol. ‘A lot of people are not gonna forget this! It’s not a threat — it isn’t!’

‘We just continue to watch people think it’s okay to bomb a hospital with children. You know what’s so hard sometimes is watching those videos and the people telling the kids don’t cry,’ Tlaib said as she choked up in front of the crowd. READ MORE

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy Today Gave The Green Light To The Start Of An Impeachment Inquiry Into ‘Abuse Of Power’ By Pretend President Joe Biden

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden for ‘abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption.’

The question is did Joe Biden, as vice president of the United States, sell his influence in exchange for favors and large cash payments which were then disbursed to various members of the Biden family including Hunter Biden? In theory, this is the essence of the information on the infamous Hunter Biden laptop. There is certainly something there, the question is how much can be proven by the Republicans who are not known for their ability to plan and execute any type of political strategy.

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)

If the GOP is unable to pull this off, it will actually work to strengthen Biden’s position and standing, not weaken it. But if Biden is successfully impeached, do the Democrats take that as a win because now they can dump Biden who has become a liability? However all this plays out, it’s already been decided behind the scenes, as has the 2024 president election.

Kevin McCarthy Officially Opens Impeachment Inquiry into Joe Biden for ‘Abuse of Power, Obstruction, and Corruption’

FROM BREITBART NEWS: Speaking in the U.S. Capitol Building, McCarthy opened the inquiry by stating that House Republicans uncovered “serious and credible allegations” against President Biden. McCarthy said House investigators found that Joe Biden lied about his involvement in the family business and that bank records show many payments were directed to Biden family members through shell companies. He also noted an FBI informant file that alleged Joe Biden was bribed by a Ukrainian energy executive.  

“Taken together, these allegations paint a picture of a culture of corruption,” he said. “These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption. They warrant further investigation by the House of Representatives.”

“That’s why today, I am directing our house committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden,” he continued. “This logical next step will give our committees the full power to gather all the facts and answers for the American public. It’s exactly what we want to know: the answers.”

The impeachment inquiry is intended to uncover additional information about Joe Biden’s involvement in the Biden family business.

The impeachment inquiry could lead to a full House vote on articles of impeachment. If approved by 218 votes in the House, the articles would be conveyed to the Senate, where the higher chamber would be forced to hear the evidence during a Senate trial.

Polling supports the need for an impeachment inquiry. Sixty-one percent of Americans believe Joe Biden was involved in his family’s business deals with China and Ukraine, according to a recent CNN survey. Only 38 percent say he was not involved, and just one percent say he was involved and did nothing wrong.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) announced an investigation into Joe Biden in November. The following months proved to justify Comer’s probe. Bank records in May showed the Biden business received at least $10 million from business schemes in Romania and China. Comer revealed in August the Biden family business received over $20 million from Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan while Joe Biden was vice president.

In total, nine Biden family members received payments from the family foreign business ventures, including two of Joe Biden’s grandchildren. READ MORE
