Donald Trump

Outgoing US President Donald Trump is disappointed with his lawyer Rudy Giuliani and is unwilling to pay him the fee for his efforts to legally overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

According to a report in the Washington Post, the close relationship between Trump and Giuliani has cooled recently after the president was shocked by his lawyer’s demand of paying $20,000 a day for representing Trump and his demand for the cancellation of the election results in several states.

GOP To file impeachment articles against Biden as poll as we see a TRUMP surge.  

T. Belman. Obviously , if it ever came to that, Harris would be President.

Turley makes the point that the last century was dominated by ideology and economic conflict. He says a shift from that has occurred and now we are into a new conflict based on identity; nation, culture, custom and tradition. In other words the nationalism is taking over from globalism

Sheldon Adelson: Rags to Riches  

By Larry Greenfield, JEWISH JOURNAL

In an astonishing life that spanned almost nine decades, Sheldon Adelson rose from Depression-era poverty to become a business mogul who made his fortune, in part, by breaking into Communist China; a casino legend who didn’t particularly enjoy gambling; and an American conservative political donor who prioritized, above all, his commitment to Israel.

Fiercely determined in his pursuit of business success, political principles and wide-ranging (but consistently focused) philanthropy, Adelson was the ultimate battler. With many fans and many critics, he won far more than he lost.

Restart, Reset or Renew? The Strategy against Iranian Nuclear Ambition  

by Peter Schweizer, GATESTONE INSTITUTE  •  January 14, 2021 at 5:00 am

  • Even if the deal negotiated in 2015 by the Obama administration were worth the effort, it is impossible to imagine the Iranians willingly recommitting to enrichment levels they have long since blown past. No one believes in their professed “peaceful use” of nuclear energy. So why does a return to the deal make any sense?
  • The killing of top terror-funding IRGC official Qasem Soleimani by the US military and Iran’s relatively toothless retaliatory attack against two US bases in Iraq suggest that the regime fears what an escalation of tensions would mean to its own future more than it desires to stab at the “Great Satan.” The regime may finally be on the verge of collapse.

Democrats, 10 Republicans Vote for 2nd Impeachment of Trump  

BY IVAN PENTCHOUKOV, EPOCH TIMES    .January 13, 2021

Democrats in the House of Representatives, joined by 10 Republicans, voted to impeach President Donald Trump for a second time, in a 232–197 vote on Jan. 13. The single article of impeachment alleges that the president incited an insurrection that resulted in the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

The impeachment, accomplished in a single seven-hour session, was the fastest in U.S. history. It is also the first time in the nation’s history that a president has been impeached twice.

Republicans criticized the rush, arguing that it offered no due process to the president and no confidence in the proceedings to the American people. Democrats justified the truncated process by alleging that Trump poses a danger to the nation every day he is in office.

Dennis Prager: Capitol Siege Was ‘Vile’ but Left’s Suppression of Free Speech Is Worse  

T. Belman.  These protestors are not MAGA people.

‘The left in the United States is totalitarian’

Radio talk show host and columnist Dennis Prager said in an interview with The Epoch Times’ American Thought Leaders program Tuesday that, while last week’s violent siege of the U.S. Capitol was “vile” and “disgusting” and worthy of condemnation, the ongoing suppression of free speech in America by the left poses a bigger threat.

Prager was responding to a question about criticism leveled by some media personalities against some conservatives and “China hawks” who they accuse of being much more concerned about denouncing censorship and curtailment of freedom of speech rather than criticizing the Capitol riot.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s office confirmed that he will not “consent” to reconvening the Senate before Jan. 19, effectively killing hopes for removing President Donald Trump from office before President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration.

A McConnell spokesman confirmed that their office told Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s staff that McConnell won’t “consent” to reconvening the Senate before Jan. 19 after a report broke Tuesday night that McConnell is reportedly considering voting to convict Trump in an impeachment trial.

Here’s How We Flatten the Democratic Party During the Next Four Years  

BY DAVID P. GOLDMAN, PJ MEDIA JAN 11, 2021 10:11 PM ET

Trump made a colossal tactical blunder by telling his supporters to fight vote fraud in the streets. That led to last week’s excesses, and the biggest crackdown on conservatives in American history. David Horowitz likes to say, inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out. Is he ever right!The suspension of President Trump’s Twitter account (denounced by Germany’s Angela Merkel and top French officials as a violation of basic rights) is an affront to democracy: Whatever Trump did or didn’t do, he is the elected president of the United States, convicted in no court of law, and the people have the right to hear from him. The suspension of the free-speech social media platform Parler is another totalitarian outrage by what France’s Finance Minister calls “the digital oligarchy.” And now CNN demands that cable companies drop Fox News and Newsmax.

Top Republicans want to bury President Trump, for good. But they’re divided whether to do it with one quick kill via impeachment, or let him slowly fade.

  • A House impeachment vote, which would make Trump the first president to be impeached twice, is expected mid-afternoon.

Sources tell me Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would be more likely than not to vote to convict Trump — a green light for other Republican senators to follow. Read more…
