The 84th Iron Bowl: Keeping Bama’s Playoff Hopes Alive

My beloved Crimson Tide must beat Auburn to have a snowflake’s chance in Hell of making the College Football Playoffs. Auburn hasn’t won back-to-back home Iron Bowls since 2005 and 2007, but the Tigers would love nothing more than to knock their Bama rivals out of playoff contention.

This year’s Iron Bowl doesn’t have the same deafening buzz as in years past.  Neither team has a path to Atlanta for the SEC Championship.  Only Alabama has an opportunity for a playoff spot if they get help from around college football during Rivalry Week/Championship Saturday. Alabama is the only team to have made the first five college playoffs.  That streak is in jeopardy.

Root for Michigan:  If the Buckeyes lose to the Wolverines and lose next week in Indianapolis, Bama has a chance of getting in.

Root for South Carolina:  The ACC is in the cellar this season.  Any loss for Clemson would destroy the Tigers’ chances for the playoffs.

Root for the Rambling Wreck:  The Jawja Bulldawgs losing a second game against an ACC team would damage their rèsumè with the Selection Committee, but we’ll leave crossing them off the list to Coach Oeaux’s LSU Tigers.

Root for the Badgers:  If the Badgers beat Minnesota, they would face Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium.  A one-loss Ohio State alongside a conference champion Minnesota or Wisconsin team would add chaos to the Selection Committee rankings.

Simply stated, for Alabama to make the playoffs the top three teams (Ohio State, LSU and Clemson) would have to remain the same, Alabama beats Auburn today and Georgia loses the SEC title game against LSU next week in Atlanta.

Can the stringbean wearing No. 10 who was thrust into the spotlight to replace Superman lead the Tide to victory in a game that means everything to the players in Crimson and White?

The sports experts and pundits have written off the Tide for weeks now and I think Alabama will show up and prove they are, in fact, one of the top four teams in the country.

The game will be decided in the matchup between Alabama’s offensive line and Auburn’s defense.  If Bama’s O-line can protect Mac Jones, he’ll be able to get rid of the ball and let his receivers torch the Auburn secondary.

The training wheels are definitely off.  Offensive Coordinator Steve Sarkisian will call the game as if Tagovailoa were starting the game.  He’ll be aggressive relying on the run and RPOs.  Mac can handle that kind of game plan.

Blogger friend and SEC sister, Diogenes, has a great post over at her place.  We eat, drink and sleep college football and if she says Bama wins today, then you can take that to the bank.

Hey Washington Post, Can You Tell Me If This Is “Doctored”?

Hong Kong’s Sudden Hero: “The Champ”

The day before Thanksgiving President Trump tweeted an obviously photoshopped picture of himself as “Rocky Balboa” and The Resistance lost its feeble mind.  It was one of the highest trending topics on Twitter throughout the day.

What’s so fascinating about this is it came as the President was reportedly playing golf at his Mar-a-Lago residence while on his Thanksgiving vacation.  As far as everyone on the planet knew, he was supposed to spend the holiday in sunny Florida.  On Wednesday night the President left the resort for an undisclosed airport to fly to Andrews Air Force Base.  At Andrews he boarded Air Force One for the 13-hour flight to Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan for a surprise Thanksgiving visit with the troops.

Calling the visit a surprise is an understatement.  Security precautions were extreme.  All cell phones, including those of Senior White House Staff, were confiscated before boarding the flight.  The trip had been in the works for weeks.  Considering how many people were involved in the coordination of his visit, it’s quite stunning no one in the media knew about the visit beforehand.

One year ago, Maggie Haberman, White House correspondent for The New York Times and analyst for CNN tweeted:

Unless I'm mistaken, it's been 15 years since a US president made a Thanksgiving visit to troops stationed overseas. https://t.co/8hLPH0Vp2G

— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) November 21, 2018

Pete Souza, former Director of the White House Photography Office and Official White House Photographer for The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer noted in a tweet last year, “President Obama visited troops in Afghanistan four times and Iraq once but not on Thanksgiving.  Each Thanksgiving (and Christmas), he called ten members of the military who were stationed in various locales around the world.”

Thanksgiving is a living reminder of the exceptional glory of America.  While it is true most countries have days of family celebration, Thanksgiving remains a wondrous outlier.  Rather than traveling by covered wagons we hop aboard 727s or climb in our cars returning to the place than anchors life—home—back to family, back to love.

In opinion piece after opinion piece, our betters on the left want you to believe America today is no better than it was 400 years ago.  They are hellbent in their insistence the holiday destroys the environment and celebrates the destruction of the entire Native American culture.  They continue their misguided efforts to transform Thanksgiving into some sordid grievance sharing—not a holiday to be celebrated.  No, America must be shamed for it’s evil.

Attention please, you dim-witted nimrods!

President Trump signed the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act on Wednesday.  Mere hours later pro-democracy protesters held a “Thanksgiving Rally” to praise the President’s actions.  In a public square in the beleaguered city, thousands waved American flags and held up copies of the Trump as Rocky photo composite.

He became Hong Kong’s sudden hero and China’s worst enemy. 

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Slo Joe Bribem Doesn’t Have It

When Uncle Joe announced his candidacy for president, he repeatedly declared. “I asked President Obama not to endorse me.  He doesn’t want to—whoever wins the nomination should win it on their own merits.”

It was widely reported today The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer confided to at least one candidate with whom he met privately that “he had an intimate bond with the electorate, especially in Iowa, that he no longer has.  Then he added, ’And you know who really doesn’t have it?  Joe Biden.”

Que Captain Obvious. 

Trump You Magnificent Bastard, I See What You Did There

Jack Holmes, Politics Editor for Esquire, tells a harrowing tale of a crisp autumn dusk punctured by the metallic roar of a helicopter engine.

“In the brave new world of the Trump White House, where there has not been a White House press briefing in over eight months, “Chopper Talk” is among the only opportunities members of the press have to question a principal member of the administration. And around three out of four times, members of the White House press told me, [the President will] come over to take questions. It has become an essential event.”

“The White House press are people who have reached what has traditionally been viewed as the pinnacle of American political journalism, waiting—and jostling—to ask the President a question no one can hear over the deafening hum of Marine One, only for him to yell about whatever the hell he wants and ignore attempts at a follow-up question. Sometimes, Trump will spot someone he considers an enemy of the state and jab a finger in their direction while saying the magic words: ‘You’re Fake News!’ On television, it appears as if the president is up against a pack of faceless jackals, baying at him for a quote.”

Forced to stand on the edge of the South Lawn, it’s bad in the winter and worse in the summer packed into a rugby scrum waiting and sweating with the D.C. swamp heat setting into every pore of your skin.

Holmes expounds on the “ritual abuse” noting on one particular occasion Marine One “came in low”, sweeping over the South Lawn swooshing the water of the fountain in the middle ground ahead of the Washington Monument.  “As it touched down, the gale-force waves of autumn air it whipped up sent an Arctic chill and plenty of projectile leaves hurtling towards the press corps.  After a minute or two, the rotors stopped and all that remained was the growling whirr (sic) of the motor.”

Oh, the humanity.  It’s just like storming the beaches of Omaha.  Nebraska, that is.

Karma’s a bitch ain’t it?  Your litany of lies and smears have come back to bite you on your fourth point of contact and you’re whining like little babies.  All I know or even care about is CNN’s showboating Jim Acosta has folded like a cheap suit and no longer are we tortured by his insipid “Dear Diary” entries.

You’ll Never Be This Cool

When Tesla unveiled its new pickup truck last Wednesday, critics blasted it as ugly and impractical.  Despite those criticisms, more than 200,000 people plunked down a $100 deposit to reserve a spot in line for the new vehicle.

The stripped-down model starts at $39,000 with a range of 250 miles while the high-end model has a range of 500 miles.  The $69,000 Cybertruck boasts three motors and can go from 0 to 60 in 2.9 seconds.

Those folks, bless their hearts, think having a Cybertruck sitting in their driveway makes them cool.  They’ll still have to sit in traffic, deal with road rage and buy a new set of tires every so often.

They will never be as cool as the kid who ponies up for a landspeeder.

The X-34 landspeeder is built with a powerful repulsorlift engine which pushes against gravity augmented with three air-cooled thrust turbines capable of hovering up to a meter off the ground capable of speeds up to 250 kph.  Owners can choose from either an open-air or sealed cockpit.  The landspeeder can be fitted with blaster cannons.

There’s no need to look for charging stations.  No need to have a charging station installed for your home which can set you back up to $3,000.

Owning a landspeeder would quiet all the “woke” climate nazis too. The anti-gravity technology is created from subnuclear “knots” of space-time acquired from black holes giving them a range of 75,000 kilometers.

Elon Musk, eat your heart out.

CNN’s War Against Devin Nunes

CNN has lost so much of its prior viewership and its reputation it would be wise for the network to shut down, fire its entire management team and most of its journalists and start over with an entirely new name and a code of ethics.

Their televised Trump Derangement Syndrome has but one agenda:  to abort the presidency of Donald J. Trump by any means necessary.  Their Orwellian “Ministry of Truth” now includes a good and decent man whom they view as an acceptable casualty in their war against the President—Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes.

When the American public learns of a completely false news story, CNN is usually at the center of the story.

Nunes said on Saturday he plans to sue CNN and the Daily Beast for stories that accused him of meeting with a former Ukraine prosecutor Viktor Shokin in Vienna, Austria last year in a hunt for dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden.

Joseph A. Bondy (pictured in the graphic above) is the “source” for the story.  Bondy is the Manhattan attorney representing Soviet-born Lev Parnas.  Bondy wants Parnas to testify before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence led by Adam Schiff.

Parnas is living under house arrest at his Florida home after federal prosecutors charged him with illegally funneling foreign money into U.S. political campaigns.

The unsavory Mr. Bondy was cheered on via Twitter by indicted anti-Trump attorney Michael Avenatti.

Mr. Nunes released an official statement regarding his lawsuit against the laughingstock cable news outfit:

“These demonstrably false and scandalous stories published by the Daily Beast and CNN are the perfect example of defamation and reckless disregard for the truth. Some political operative offered these fake stories to at least five different media outlets before finding someone irresponsible enough to publish them. I look forward to prosecuting these cases, including the media outlets as well as the sources of their fake stories, to the fullest extent of the law. I intend to hold the Daily Beast and CNN accountable for their actions. They will find themselves in court soon after Thanksgiving.”

Every American should be alarmed by the McCarthyism that is prevalent in the media and the Intelligence Community.  Devin Nunes has been at the heart of the scandals surrounding a coup attempt and the collection of intelligence that allegedly occurred during the Trump transition in November and December of 2016 and January of 2017.

“There was clearly significant information about President Trump and his team [Trump Tower wiretapping] and there were additional names that were unmasked,” said Nunes in March of 2017.

Tuesday evening, March 21:  Nunes took a phone call while sharing a ride with a staffer, according to The Washington Post. After the call, he switched cars without telling his team where he was going.  The unscheduled trip was to the White House, where an unnamed source provided Nunes with information about incidental collection of Trump and his associates.

Wednesday afternoon, March 22: Nunes held a press conference in the Capitol building outlining “incidental collection” of Trump and associates, as well as their “unmasking,” from FISA surveillance.

Monday, March 27: Nunes admits meeting secretly at the White House with intelligence officials to view the intelligence behind his claims in his March 22 press conference.

In response, Adam Schiff called on Nunes to “recuse himself from any further involvement in the Russia investigation” and all “oversight matters pertaining to any incidental collection of the Trump transition."

In early April 2017, the House Ethics Committee opened an investigation into whether Nunes broke rules governing the public disclosure of classified information when he told reporters he had obtained details about “American intelligence monitoring foreign officials who may have picked up communications of Trump transition team members.”

Eight months later the Ethics Committee closed the case against Nunes declaring, “The Committee does not determine whether information is or is not classified.  In the course of this investigation, the Committee sought the analysis of Representative Nunes’s statements by classification experts in the Intelligence Community. Based solely on the conclusion of these classification experts that the information that Representative Nunes disclosed was not classified, the Committee will take no further action and considers this matter closed.”

There are conflicting opinions about the upcoming report from Inspector General Michael Horowitz to be released on December 9th concerning abuse of the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).  Ex-Whitewater Independent Counsel Sol Wisenberg feels it will be “very, very hard-hitting.”  Others expect the report will find there were “mistakes in the FBI’s handling of the FISA process, but that those mistakes do not undermine the premise for the FBI’s investigation.”

The Russia Hoaxers have apparently settled on “We did nothing wrong, but if we did, it was all the fault of some low-level employees in Cincinnati” as their primary spin on the Horowitz IG report, which they haven’t read (and isn’t even finished). https://t.co/lUHe4fOdAa

A Walk On The Wild Side

Hunter Biden Has Managed To Catastrophically Sabotage His Father’s Campaign

There is little question Hunter Biden’s proximity to power shaped the arc of his so-called “career”.  There is also little doubt his father Joe used the Office of the Vice President to advance and protect his son’s interests from old controversies surrounding his work for a bank, a lobbying firm, a hedge fund and his recent business dealings in Ukraine and China.

Hunter has struggled for decades with alcohol addiction and drug abuse.  He went through an acrimonious divorce from his first wife and fell into the arms of his deceased brother Beau’s widow.  Just this week we learned a DNA test revealed Hunter fathered a baby with another woman while he was dating the aforementioned widow.  What a slimeball.

Joe Biden’s staffers have spent recent months berating journalists for digging into the Burisma story.  Glenn Thrush and Kenneth P. Vogel of the New York Times reported, “Hunter Biden’s activities struck many of the officials in the Obama Administration working on Ukraine policy as an unnecessary distraction or worse.”

The Washington Post revealed another State Department official’s attempt to get Biden staffers to intervene with their boss. WaPo reported that George Kent, then a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, “raised concerns in early 2015 about then–Vice President Joe Biden’s son serving on the board of a Ukrainian energy company.”

During Adam Schiff’s two-week shampeachment extravaganza, Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee repeatedly asked witnesses about Hunter Biden and his connection to the corrupt Ukrainian energy company.  Schiff shot down every effort by Republicans to call Biden’s son to testify before the Committee.

Whether you like Sen. Lindsey Graham or not, he has joined the House Republicans’ phalanx of attack in an effort to get to the bottom of the Biden corruption scandal by writing a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.  In the letter he requested all documents and communications, call transcripts and/or summaries related to Joe Biden’s phone calls with former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, all documents related to the raid on Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky’s home in February 2016 and the firing of Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutshenko.  Graham is also very interested in documents related to a meeting between Devon Archer who served on the board of Burisma and was convicted of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, Hunter Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry in March of 2016.

When Sleepy Joe got wind of this news, he was some more kind of pissed.  In an interview with CNN’s Don Lemon, Biden appeared to threaten the sitting senator saying, “Lindsey is about to go down in a way that I think he’s going to regret his whole life.  He knows me; he knows my son; he knows there’s nothing to this.”

The bumbling, stumbling septuagenarian talks a good game.  Remember when he fashioned the tall tale about bringing a chain to a knife fight against a tough, black gang member by the name of Corn Pop?

Biden recalled a hazy summer day in 1962 when he used his authority as a lifeguard to tell the leader of the Romans, the biggest black gang in Wilmington, DE to stop bouncing on the high diving board.

“Corn Pop was a bad dude, and he ran a bunch of bad boys,” Biden said in 2017. “If you used pomade in your hair, you had to wear a bathing cap, and so he was on the board, wouldn’t listen to me, I said, ‘Hey, Esther [Williams, the synchronized swimmer and movie star], you, off the board, I’ll come up and drag you off.’”

“Well, he came off and said, ‘I’ll meet you outside.’” Biden said recalling the event with cinematic vividness, including the fact that Corn Pop had patiently planted himself next to his car until his shift ended. “He was waiting there for me with three guys and straight razors. Not a joke,” he said.

And who can forget the bluster of Joey Plugs back in March 2018 at the University of Miami when he boasted, “If we were in high school, I’d take him [President Trump] behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.”

He later walked back his remark saying, “I shouldn’t have said what I said.”

Joe Biden’s god-awful case of hoof-and-mouth disease may have just put him deeper in the quicksand pit his son put in front of him.  The fallout is going to be delicious.

UPDATE:  Welcome readers of Whatfinger News.  It is our sincere hope your family and friends enjoy a happy, healthy and safe Thanksgiving holiday.

I’ve Got A Fever, And The Only Prescription Is More Mr. Magoo!

Joe Biden’s verbal misfires have been a hallmark of his three failed presidential runs.  Each of the 2019 Democrat presidential candidate debates have given us rickety performances from the so-called front runner.

Touting his bona fides, Sleepy Joe declared during the scarcely watched debate in Atlanta, “I come out of the Obama coalition.  I come out of the black community in terms of my support.”  He then claimed he had the support of the only African American woman elected to the U.S. Senate which was clearly untrue.  When he tried to salvage his answer as Kamala Harris and Cory Booker challenged him, he added, “I said the first.”  Reviewing the tape, he did not make that distinction.

The right words struggled to make the perilous journey from Uncle Joe’s brain to his mouth, prompting former Obama Senior Adviser David Axelrod to mock his performance.  “I wouldn’t say he was a house afire in any of the debates that we’ve been to; and yet he comes…kind of bumps along, kind of Mr. Magooing his way through this.”

CNN commentator Van Jones suggested his barrage of blunders could clear a path for former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg saying, “And then Biden blows four tires in the last ten minutes.  If you’re Bloomberg you start looking and going, ‘Hey man.’”

Poor Joe.  He reminds of the Florida dog who recently jumped into his owner’s running car, accidently put it in reverse and drove around in a circle for an hour in a cul-de-sac.  When the cops arrived, the dog jumped out of the car appearing to have enjoyed the ride.

The legion of Trump haters are convinced President Trump fears Joe Biden more than the other candidates challenging him in 2020.  Oh really?

I seem to recall a campaign rally in Tupelo, MS where President Trump spoke to the crowd dismissing Democrats’ impeachment obsession saying, “Let’s see, I’ve got this guy named Sleepy Joe Biden.  How do I beat this guy?  Gee, I guess there’s only one way.  Let’s call up Ukraine for help.”

Can You Smell That?

Did Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman Start This Coup?

During Tuesday’s impeachment hearing, Lt. Col. Vindman made a strategic error during his public testimony.  He appears to have perjured himself.

For the record, Vindman was on the July 25 phone call between President Trump and Ukraine President Zelensky.  When ranking member Devin Nunes pressed him on whether he discussed the call with anyone outside the White House, the good little soldier said he discussed the call with U.S. State Department Deputy Secretary George Kent and an “individual in the Intelligence Community.”

In a published report at The Washington Examiner, Byron York noted Vindman’s closed-door testimony in the bunker in the basement of the Capitol Building revealed he had “twice taken his concerns to Eisenberg [National Security Council Legal Advisor].  He also told his twin brother Yevgeny Vindman, who is also an Army lieutenant colonel and serves as a National Security Council lawyer. He also told another NSC official, John Erath, and he gave what he characterized as a partial readout of the call to George Kent, a career State Department official who dealt with Ukraine. That led to an obvious question: Did Vindman take his concerns to anyone else? Did he discuss the Trump-Zelensky call with anyone else? It was a reasonable question and an important one. Republicans asked it time and time again. Vindman refused to answer, with his lawyer, Michael Volkov, sometimes belligerently joining in. Through it all, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff stood firm in favor of keeping his committee in the dark.”

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) asked Vindman, "You never leaked information?"  He replied, "I never did. I never would. That is preposterous that I would do that."

"Your boss had concerns about your judgment, your former boss, Dr. [Fiona] Hill, had concerns about your judgment, your colleagues had concerns about your judgment, and your colleagues felt there were times when you leaked information," Jordan said. "Any idea why they have those impressions?"

It’s vital to remember Lt. Col. Vindman clearly stated in his public testimony he did speak to an “individual in the Intelligence Community” and when Nunes pressed him to identify the person his attorney intervened to say his client was not going to answer the question.  At that point Chairman Schiff gaveled in to stop the questioning, but Nunes countered asking the Chairman how it was possible to identify the whistleblower if no one knows the name.

“Under advice of my counsel and instructions of the Chairman, I have been advised not to provide any specifics on who I have spoken to inside the Intelligence Community,” Vindman said. “But I can offer that these people were properly cleared individuals with a need to know.”

Nunes said Republicans had tried to subpoena the whistleblower, but the motion was tabled by committee Democrats. Nunes ended his questioning by calling the hearings an “impeachment inquisition.”

Alexander Vindman looks really bad here as he gets grilled by Jim Jordan pic.twitter.com/3rq8qIGpM3

— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) November 19, 2019

After being vaporized by Jordan’s questioning, Vindman snapped back saying, “I was doing my job.”

The “individual in the Intelligence Community” looks more and more like 33-year-old Eric Ciaramella, a registered Democrat held over from the Obama White House who had worked with Joe Biden and John Brennan.  Ciaramella left his National Security Council post in the West Wing of the White House in mid-2017 amid concerns about leaks to the media.  He has since returned to Langley, VA where the CIA headquarters is located.

Earlier this year, Adam Schiff recruited two of Ciaramella’s closest allies at the NSC—both of whom were also Obama holdovers—to join his committee staff. He hired one, Sean Misko, in August—the same month the whistleblower complaint about Trump’s phone call was filed.

The graphic accompanying this blog post is Photoshopped®, but then you knew that already.  Photographs of Ciaramella are nearly impossible to find.  Most of the photographs you can find are blurry, but I lucked up and found four very interesting pictures of our whistleblower with Hillary Clinton, Sen. Chuck Schumer, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Democrat presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren.

I chose to create the above graphic of Ciaramella with Sen. Schumer to highlight his now-ominous warning from January 2017 on the Rachel Maddow Show:  “Let me tell you;  You take on the Intelligence Community—they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.”

Democrats Consumed With Trump Hatred Experiencing Abject Disappointment

If the House approves articles of impeachment against President Trump, there would be a trial in the Senate.  Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has made it clear that discussions with Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have not yet begun noting, “If the House acts, I think the place to start would be to take a look at what the agreement was 20 years ago in the Clinton impeachment trial as a starting place and then discuss how we may be able to agree to handle the process.  How long it goes on really depends on how long the Senate wants to spend on it.”

On Monday, McConnell told reporters in Kentucky, “I can’t imagine a scenario under which President Trump would be removed from office with 67 votes in the Senate.”

Republican senators including McConnell have criticized the House process arguing the President has not been allowed to defend himself in the inquiry.  Consideration is being given to dismissing the inquiry, a move that would require a simple majority of 51 votes.

Every moment of every waking day, Democrats have been searching for any pretext to remove this president.

As I noted in a previous post Adam Schiff, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, has had impeachment papers on his desk for three long years.  No one believes that the fix hasn’t been in since Trump took the Oath of Office.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) conducted focus groups in key battleground states to find a more compelling word to replace the Latin term “quid pro quo”.  The groups found “bribery” to be most damning.

Nothing underscores the fact that impeachment is a political process, not a legal remedy, intended to turn public opinion against the President.

CNN’s Legal Analyst, Jim Baker, pining for a real life Orwellian “1984” scenario tweeted:

I’m sorry if some people think these hearings are boring. As American citizens we have a solemn obligation to pay attention to this process no matter what side you’re on. You’re not being asked to storm the beaches at Normandy after all. Suck it up and watch.

— Jim Baker (@thejimbaker) November 13, 2019

Democrats and the legion of Trump haters are demoralized over impeachment hearings being tuned out by Americans.

“One of the most important aspects of the televised hearings is how many people watch them,” said Darrell West, Director of Governance Studies for the Brookings Institution. “During Watergate, millions watched and learned new things about President Nixon, which ultimately turned them away from him. For Democrats to have any hope of altering public opinion, they need robust viewership levels.”

Has the manufactured hatred of Trump hit a ceiling?  Oh, I think so.  San Fran Nan and her henchmen met privately about the prospects of a dramatic shift in opinion according to CNN.

“How impeachment plays in key districts has been an issue that Democrats have discussed repeatedly behind closed doors. At a meeting in late October, DCCC officials discussed focus group research that showed voters wanted the inquiry to be a fact-finding mission—not a foregone conclusion, according to a source in the room.”

Adam Schiff Openly Denounced President Trump As A Charlatan

Over the weekend the California Democratic Party held their annual Fall Endorsing Convention in Long Beach.

According to Calbuzz, while the presidential candidates vied for attention, one speaker who is not a candidate spoke to the assembled sheeples.  The article referred to Adam Schiff as the “Lion in the House” and the “Impeachment Czar”.

“The most profound threat to democracy today is not from Russia, or Putin’s desire to rebuild a lost empire.  Nor is it from China, though China is busy exporting its digital form of totalitarianism to other nations.  No, the most grave threat to the life and health of, or devotion to, our Constitution and the beautiful series of checks and balances that it established, setting ambition against ambition, so no one branch of government could overwhelm another, and most importantly, so no despotism could take root.”

“There is nothing more dangerous than an unethical president who believes that he is above the law.  Two years ago, I stood before you and I urged you to resist.  And you did.  But we are more than a resistance now.  We are a majority; we are a majority in one house and will become a majority in the other and we will send that charlatan in the White House back to the golden throne he came from.  And you know why?  Because we vote.”

Judicial Watch is asking concerned citizens to sign a petition to hold Schiff accountable for his unethical tampering and contact with two congressional witnesses:  Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS and President Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen.

Schiff improperly disclosed classified information in violation of House rules and standards of conduct.  Judicial Watch points out he’s done this before proving he CANNOT be trusted to lead the House Intelligence Committee.

Our country is at a critical point requiring statesmanship not hyperpartisanship and Schiff is a scheming weasel who’s had the impeachment papers on his desk for three years just waiting to fill in the blanks.
