POLITICO’S JOHN HARRIS, LIKE CHUCK, NANCY, ADAM, JERRY, AND JOE, DOESN’T GET IT. BARREL & PORK. WE REPORT. YOU DECIDE.


1. PORK, Politico founding editor John F. Harris doesn’t get it. In fact, he is glaringly wrong.

2. Get what, BARREL? How is he wrong?

3. PORK, John Harris is like Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Joe Biden, and many other democrats and some republicans and many of the media owners and pundits who likewise don’t get it.

4. How so, BARREL?

5. John argues that Coronavirus COVID-19 marks the “end of Trumpism” and in doing so, John demonstrates his lack of understanding of human nature.

6. Contrary to John’s myopic smoke and mirrors analysis, Trumpism is not the idea of promoting and protecting American sovereignty and singularity exclusively.

7. Trumpism is not about sealing our borders and isolationism.

8. Trumpism is not about disassociating America from the interconnected global economy but rather doing deals that make sense for America.

9. Trumpism is not about beating up on China or Russia but rather doing deals that make sense for America.

10. Trumpism is not about boasting and bluster, or about triumphalism, or about projecting certitude at all costs, but rather it is about fighting back against fake news and fake politicians and fake business deals and fake bureaucrats and fake laws.

11. Trumpism is not about creating reality by proclamation but rather about being positive and faith filled instead of tearing down the nation.

12. Trumpism is not about failing to acknowledge imprecision but rather dealing with imprecision by using the best expertise available.

13. Trumpism is not about mockery and castigation of opponents which fails to unite the nation but rather Trumpism is mockery and castigation of opponents who don’t get it – opponents who think it not a criminal felony to bleach bit their emails, hammer their blackberries, lie about and blame Benghazi on a video, take multi-millions in bribes and payoffs from countries and individuals into a personal foundation in return for influence, take up precious government house and senate time with garbage investigations and impeachment hearings, use political office to get a billion from China or launder a billion thru Ukraine to fight a proxy war with Russia, or enrich multi-family members and cronies. 

14. https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2020/03/19/politico-founding-editor-the-coronavirus-pandemic-is-the-end-of-trumpism/

15. OK, BARREL, you have told me what Trumpism is not. You have told me that John and Chuck and Nancy and Adam and Jerry and Joe don’t get it. What is it?

16. Trumpism is about helping us Americans be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS while not selling out one’s integrity and dishonoring one’s office.

17. That is why Coronavirus COVID-19 has no bearing whatsoever on Trumpism.

18. That is why POTUS TRUMP will be re-elected.

19. That is why POTUS TRUMP will go down in history as one of the great presidents of all time.

20. Why? Because his focus has not been on enriching himself. Because his focus has been on keeping his more than 300 promises to help us and our children and our unborn be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.

21. That is why POTUS TRUMP’s real approval rating is 80% to 95%.

22. We told Chuck and Nancy long ago the secret to winning elections but they wouldn’t listen and so they squandered their opportunity by wasting years of our time and millions of our money. And that secret we told them is simply to pull all stops and focus and work together across the aisle to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS as opposed to spending $30 – $100 million plus in wasteful, foolish impeachment hearings and special counsel investigations.

23. What John and Chuck and Nancy and Adam and Jerry and Joe don’t get is the fact that we care for POTUS TRUMP because he is helping us more often than not forgotten Americans be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS, because he is working as well to help others outside America be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS. 

24. Nothing more. Nothing less. That is why we care deeply for him and support him with money and votes.

25. Should POTUS TRUMP turn on us and stop helping us and others be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS, we would move away from him in a heartbeat. That, my friend PORK, is how the cow eats the cabbage.

26. And last but not least, as is the case of a natural disaster, there is no way we blame him for Coronavirus COVID-19 or the stock market drop. 

27. Trumpism has become synonymous with POTUS TRUMP’S indefatigable efforts to help us be Constitutionally FREE, SAFE, AND PROSPEROUS first and with POTUS TRUMP’S helping other people and nations be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS as well.

28. That is why his rallies are filled to overflowing. That is why he will be re-elected.

29. You are preaching to the choir, BARREL. You are preaching to the choir.


WE REPORT! YOU DECIDE!

Glenn Beck drops hydrogen bomb on democrats including Bidens and democrats. Claims they have been criminally money laundering our tax dollars to fund a proxy war against Russia and to enrich themselves. True or False? We report. You decide.

(c) ™ 2016 -2020

1. So BARREL, Glenn Beck dropped a hydrogen bomb on the democrats last night. Do you think Glenn Beck is right?

2. Glenn Beck has opinions about many things.

3. PORK, coming on the heals of total acquittal of POTUS TRUMP, Glenn dropped a hydrogen bomb on Joe and Hunter Biden and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and John Kerry and other democrats last night, a bomb blast from which the democrat party likely will never recover if true.

4. He showed us last night on his show a democrat Profile in Corruption that is a million times worse than Nixon’s Watergate ever hoped to be. 

5. What Glenn showed us is what he says is evidence that Joe Biden and his son Hunter and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and John Kerry and other high level state department and CIA and FBI government officials and non-government people including at least one oligarch from Ukraine have been participating in a corrupt secret criminal multi- billion dollar money laundering operation using our tax dollars at the very least through Burisma and an Oligarch in Ukraine and a Ukraine bank.

6. BARREL, if that is true, that certainly is treason. It is high crimes and misdemeanor criminal activity and conduct. It is real obstruction of Congress. It is real abuse of power. Why on earth would the people Glenn mentioned do that?

7. PORK, Glenn says these people have done so in secret and they are doing so in secret without congressional approval in order to buy arms and fund a secret Proxy War against Russia and in the process some of them and their family members and cronies have secretly personally gotten rich – see Profiles in Corruption – and at the same time serious amounts of these secretly laundered U.S. government funds. our tax dollars, have been secretly funneled back into the DNC and to democrat candidates and democrat campaigns.


8. BARREL, this sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. If it is true though, if Glenn is correct, this explains so much.


9. How so, PORK?


10. BARREL, if this is true, it explains many if not all of the real reasons why the democrats from before his inauguration were bent on impeaching POTUS TRUMP and were and still are so over the top vociferous about Putin Russia collusion. 


11. This is a far more reasonable explanation. It is not so much that they don’t like POTUS TRUMP, it is that they fear and indeed are terrified that he and AG Barr and John Durham and Rudy Giuliani and others know and are on to them.


12. The anti-POTUS TRUMP media has focused our attention on the idea that all this impeachment is about the simple fact that Hillary lost the election. In hindsight, now, and if Glenn is correct, simple loss of an election is not the compelling reason for all the heat POTUS TRUMP and his family and the nation have been experiencing since POTUS TRUMP was elected. 


13. If it is true that these people have been criminally laundering billion(s) of our hard earned tax money , fear, indeed the sheer terror, of getting caught criminally money laundering our tax dollars to fund a secret proxy war against Russia and enrich themselves and fund the DNC and democrat candidates is a far more compelling reason for all the still ongoing vitriol. If true, they are afraid and actually terrified because they have done wrong and committed treason and high crimes against America.


14. I mean, if this is true and they are in fact secretly funding a proxy war against Russia can you even begin to quantify the unconstitutionality and the sheer stupidity and extreme risk to Americans and the world?

15. If this is true, it explains why Joe Biden was giving Ukraine and a criminal Oligarch huge money and as this unravels it may be and begin to explain the real reason why POTUS OBAMA and Joe gave Iran billions during the month before they left office.

16. If this is true, Glenn’s presentation begins to explain why Hunter Biden was involved on the board of Burisma the Oligarch company’s board. This is not just a simple story of a Vice President’s kid ending up in Ukraine on the board of a corrupt company Burisma owned by the same criminal Oligarch who received U.S. billions as part of the criminal money laundering scheme.

17. If this is true, it explains why the DNC and Schiff and Nadler and Pelosi and Schumer and CIA people are so terrified and intent on accusing POTUS TRUMP of Russian collusion and why they impeached him. This suggests that they know about and even may have participated in the criminal money laundering thru Ukraine to fund the proxy war against Russia. They may have been participants and recipients. They are complicit if they knew. They are co-conspirators if they knew and took laundered U.S. money.

18. If this is true, it may explain why POTUS Obama and Hillary have all but disappeared and been so quiet.

19. If this is true, as the web unravels it may explain in part the millions if not billions funneled to the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation.

20. If this is true, there are a number of highest level people who deserve to be wearing felony treason striped jump suits for many years to come. If true, this starts to explain Vinman and the Ukraine ambassador and Bolton.

21. If this is true, it explains why Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the democrats have been off the charts angry and fearful of POTUS TRUMP talking to Putin outside of their presence – beside themselves wanting to know what was said between the two men.

22. If this is true, it does explain Vinman and John Bolton because they knew and participated. It likely even explains the Whistleblower. It likely explains Bolton’s firing. At the same time somebody ought to look into where Bernie Sanders got his millions.

23. If this is true, it explains the true reasons for POTUS TRUMP’S Ukraine calls. If he was withholding aid at all, and hoping for an investigation, he would have been doing so in order to further document the secret criminal money laundering and secret criminal funding of a proxy war against Russia.

24. If this is true, it [criminal money laundering] may also explain how and where Barack Obama got the funding to win the election and beat Romney and how other Senators and congress persons got and get their campaign funding. It may even explain how Bernie got so rich. And it may explain much of the media vitriol and fake news if the media network leadership knew where the multi-millions in advertising and PR money was coming from.

25. If this is true, it may also tie back to George Soros and the globalist agenda.

26. If this is true, this may also begin to explain why no-experience Hunter Biden got $1.5 billion from China. Glenn says he is going to explain this one next week. He and his team claim to have followed the money. Glenn claims he is going to tell us where the $1.5 billion from China went. I’m going to guess that the $1.5 billion was not hedge fund money at all.

27. If this is true, it explains why Schiff and Nadler and Pelosi and Schumer and the Podestas and the DNC and other congress people and senators and why the anti-TRUMP media have pushed Russia Collusion, Russia Collusion, Russia Collusion, Quid Pro Quo, Bribery, and other charges against POTUS TRUMP.

28. If this is true, it is once again on the part of the democrats a blatant case of Saul Alinsky 101 accuse your opponent of what you are doing.

29. Yes, BARREL, and if this is true, if they have been criminally money laundering billions of our tax dollars to fund a criminal proxy war against Russia, Senator Chuck Grassley and Senator Lindsey Graham and AG Barr and John Durham and all of the media including those that have been anti-TRUMP for so long better double down and check out Glenn Beck’s hydrogen bomb presentation carefully and if true we can only hope they will stand up and be counted and bring those people who are responsible to justice. 


30. PORK, I’ll bet POTUS TRUMP and AG Barr and John Durham already know all of this. AG Barr and Rudy Giuliani have flown to countries to get the facts. I can’t imagine that they do not already know all of this. Let’s see what they do about it. If true, hopefully they won’t wait too long to eliminate any thought of two-tiered justice.

31. We report. You decide.

POTUS TRUMP’S MASTERPIECE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS FEBRUARY 4TH 2020

1.       BARREL, here is POTUS TRUMP’S FEBRUARY 4TH 2020 STATE OF THE UNION speech.

2.       Thanks, PORK. It is a masterpiece. 

      POTUS TRUMP has kept more promises and done more for us BLACKS, WHITES, NATIVE AMERICANS, ASIANS, HISPANICS to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS than any other POTUS except Lincoln and Washington.                                                                                                              

3.       Madam Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, the First Lady of the United States, and my fellow citizens:

4.       Three years ago, we launched the great American comeback. Tonight, I stand before you to share the incredible results. Jobs are booming, incomes are soaring, poverty is plummeting, crime is falling, confidence is surging, and our country is thriving and highly respected again! America’s enemies are on the run, America’s fortunes are on the rise, and America’s future is blazing bright.

5.       The years of economic decay are over. The days of our country being used, taken advantage of, and even scorned by other nations are long behind us. Gone too are the broken promises, jobless recoveries, tired platitudes, and constant excuses for the depletion of American wealth, power, and prestige.

6.       In just 3 short years, we have shattered the mentality of American decline, and we have rejected the downsizing of America’s destiny. We are moving forward at a pace that was unimaginable just a short time ago, and we are never going back!

7.       I am thrilled to report to you tonight that our economy is the best it has ever been. Our military is completely rebuilt, with its power being unmatched anywhere in the world — and it is not even close. Our borders are secure. Our families are flourishing. Our values are renewed. Our pride is restored. And for all these reasons, I say to the people of our great country, and to the Members of Congress before me: The State of our Union is stronger than ever before!

8.       The vision I will lay out this evening demonstrates how we are building the world’s most prosperous and inclusive society — one where every citizen can join in America’s unparalleled success, and where every community can take part in America’s extraordinary rise.

9.       From the instant I took office, I moved rapidly to revive the United States economy — slashing a record number of job-killing regulations, enacting historic and record-setting tax cuts, and fighting for fair and reciprocal trade agreements. Our agenda is relentlessly pro-worker, pro-family, pro-growth, and, most of all, pro-American. We are advancing with unbridled optimism and lifting high our citizens of every race, color, religion, and creed.

10.   Since my election, we have created 7 million new jobs — 5 million more than Government experts projected during the previous administration.

11.   The unemployment rate is the lowest in over half a century.

12.   Incredibly, the average unemployment rate under my Administration is lower than any administration in the history of our country. If we had not reversed the failed economic policies of the previous administration, the world would not now be witness to America’s great economic success.

13.   The unemployment rates for African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Asian-Americans have reached the lowest levels in history. African-American youth unemployment has reached an all-time low.

14.   African-American poverty has declined to the lowest rate ever recorded.

15.   The unemployment rate for women reached the lowest level in almost 70 years — and last year, women filled 72 percent of all new jobs added.

16.   The veterans’ unemployment rate dropped to a record low.

17.   The unemployment rate for disabled Americans has reached an all-time low.

18.   Workers without a high school diploma have achieved the lowest unemployment rate recorded in United States history.

19.   A record number of young Americans are now employed.

20.   Under the last administration, more than 10 million people were added to the food stamp rolls. Under my Administration, 7 million Americans have come off of food stamps, and 10 million people have been lifted off of welfare.

21.   In 8 years under the last administration, over 300,000 working-age people dropped out of the workforce. In just 3 years of my Administration, 3.5 million working-age people have joined the workforce.

22.   Since my election, the net worth of the bottom half of wage-earners has increased by 47 percent — 3 times faster than the increase for the top 1 percent. After decades of flat and falling incomes, wages are rising fast — and, wonderfully, they are rising fastest for low-income workers, who have seen a 16 percent pay-increase since my election. This is a blue collar boom.

23.   Real median household income is now at the highest level ever recorded!

24.   Since my election, United States stock markets have soared 70 percent, adding more than $12 trillion to our Nation’s wealth, transcending anything anyone believed was possible — this, as other countries are not doing well. Consumer confidence has reached amazing new heights.

25.   All of those millions of people with 401(k)s and pensions are doing far better than they have ever done before with increases of 60, 70, 80, 90, and even 100 percent.

26.   Jobs and investment are pouring into 9,000 previously-neglected neighborhoods thanks to Opportunity Zones, a plan spearheaded by Senator Tim Scott as part of our great Republican tax cuts. In other words, wealthy people and companies are pouring money into poor neighborhoods or areas that have not seen investment in many decades, creating jobs, energy, and excitement. This is the first time that these deserving communities have seen anything like this. It is all working!

27.   Opportunity Zones are helping Americans like Army Veteran Tony Rankins from Cincinnati, Ohio. After struggling with drug addiction, Tony lost his job, his house, and his family — he was homeless. But then Tony found a construction company that invests in Opportunity Zones. He is now a top tradesman, drug-free, reunited with his family, and he is here tonight. Tony: Keep up the great work.

28.   Our roaring economy has, for the first time ever, given many former prisoners the ability to get a great job and a fresh start. This second chance at life is made possible because we passed landmark Criminal Justice Reform into law. Everybody said that Criminal Justice Reform could not be done, but I got it done, and the people in this room got it done.

29.   Thanks to our bold regulatory reduction campaign, the United States has become the number one producer of oil and natural gas in the world, by far. With the tremendous progress we have made over the past 3 years, America is now energy independent, and energy jobs, like so many elements of our country, are at a record high. We are doing numbers that no one would have thought possible just 3 years ago.

30.   Likewise, we are restoring our Nation’s manufacturing might, even though predictions were that this could never be done. After losing 60,000 factories under the previous two administrations, America has now gained 12,000 new factories under my Administration with thousands upon thousands of plants and factories being planned or built. We have created over half a million new manufacturing jobs. Companies are not leaving; they are coming back. Everybody wants to be where the action is, and the United States of America is, indeed, where the action is.

31.   One of the single biggest promises I made to the American people was to replace the disastrous NAFTA trade deal. In fact, unfair trade is perhaps the single biggest reason that I decided to run for President. Following NAFTA’s adoption, our Nation lost one in four manufacturing jobs. Many politicians came and went, pledging to change or replace NAFTA — only to do absolutely nothing. But unlike so many who came before me, I keep my promises. Six days ago, I replaced NAFTA and signed the brand new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) into law.

32.   The USMCA will create nearly 100,000 new high-paying American auto jobs, and massively boost exports for our farmers, ranchers, and factory workers. It will also bring trade with Mexico and Canada to a much higher degree, but also to a much greater level of fairness and reciprocity. This is the first major trade deal in many years to earn the strong backing of America’s labor unions.

33.   I also promised our citizens that I would impose tariffs to confront China’s massive theft of American jobs. Our strategy worked. Days ago, we signed the groundbreaking new agreement with China that will defend our workers, protect our intellectual property, bring billions of dollars into our treasury, and open vast new markets for products made and grown right here in the United States of America. For decades, China has taken advantage of the United States, now we have changed that but, at the same time, we have perhaps the best relationship we have ever had with China, including with President Xi. They respect what we have done because, quite frankly, they could never believe what they were able to get away with year after year, decade after decade, without someone in our country stepping up and saying: Enough. Now, we want to rebuild our country, and that is what we are doing.

34.   As we restore American leadership throughout the world, we are once again standing up for freedom in our hemisphere. That is why my Administration reversed the failing policies of the previous administration on Cuba. We are supporting the hopes of Cubans, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to restore democracy. The United States is leading a 59-nation diplomatic coalition against the socialist dictator of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro. Maduro is an illegitimate ruler, a tyrant who brutalizes his people. But Maduro’s grip of tyranny will be smashed and broken. Here this evening is a man who carries with him the hopes, dreams, and aspirations of all Venezuelans. Joining us in the gallery is the true and legitimate President of Venezuela, Juan Guaidó. Mr. President, please take this message back to your homeland. All Americans are united with the Venezuelan people in their righteous struggle for freedom! Socialism destroys nations. But always remember, freedom unifies the soul.

35.   To safeguard American Liberty, we have invested a record-breaking $2.2 trillion in the United States Military. We have purchased the finest planes, missiles, rockets, ships, and every other form of military equipment — all made in the United States of America. We are also finally getting our allies to help pay their fair share. I have raised contributions from the other NATO members by more than $400 billion, and the number of allies meeting their minimum obligations has more than doubled.

36.   And just weeks ago, for the first time since President Truman established the Air Force more than 70 years earlier, we created a new branch of the United States Armed Forces, the Space Force.

37.   In the gallery tonight, we have one of the Space Force’s youngest potential recruits: 13-year-old Iain Lanphier, an eighth grader from Arizona. Iain has always dreamed of going to space. He was first in his class and among the youngest at an aviation academy. He aspires to go to the Air Force Academy, and then, he has his eye on the Space Force. As Iain says, “most people look up at space, I want to look down on the world.”

38.   Sitting beside Iain tonight is his great hero. Charles McGee was born in Cleveland, Ohio, one century ago. Charles is one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen — the first black fighter pilots — and he also happens to be Iain’s great-grandfather. After more than 130 combat missions in World War II, he came back to a country still struggling for Civil Rights and went on to serve America in Korea and Vietnam. On December 7th, Charles celebrated his 100th birthday. A few weeks ago, I signed a bill promoting Charles McGee to Brigadier General. And earlier today, I pinned the stars on his shoulders in the Oval Office. General McGee: Our Nation salutes you.

39.   From the pilgrims to our Founders, from the soldiers at Valley Forge to the marchers at Selma, and from President Lincoln to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Americans have always rejected limits on our children’s future.

40.   Members of Congress, we must never forget that the only victories that matter in Washington are victories that deliver for the American people. The people are the heart of our country, their dreams are the soul of our country, and their love is what powers and sustains our country. We must always remember that our job is to put America first!

41.   The next step forward in building an inclusive society is making sure that every young American gets a great education and the opportunity to achieve the American Dream. Yet, for too long, countless American children have been trapped in failing government schools. To rescue these students, 18 States have created school choice in the form of Opportunity Scholarships. The programs are so popular, that tens of thousands of students remain on waiting lists. One of those students is Janiyah Davis, a fourth grader from Philadelphia. Janiyah’s mom Stephanie is a single parent. She would do anything to give her daughter a better future. But last year, that future was put further out of reach when Pennsylvania’s Governor vetoed legislation to expand school choice for 50,000 children.

42.   Janiyah and Stephanie are in the gallery this evening. But there is more to their story. Janiyah, I am pleased to inform you that your long wait is over. I can proudly announce tonight that an Opportunity Scholarship has become available, it is going to you, and you will soon be heading to the school of your choice!

43.   Now, I call on the Congress to give 1 million American children the same opportunity Janiyah has just received. Pass the Education Freedom Scholarships and Opportunity Act — because no parent should be forced to send their child to a failing government school.

44.   Every young person should have a safe and secure environment in which to learn and grow. For this reason, our magnificent First Lady has launched the “Be Best” initiative — to advance a safe, healthy, supportive, and drug-free life for the next generation, online, in school, and in our communities. Thank you, Melania, for your extraordinary love and profound care for America’s children.

45.   My Administration is determined to give our citizens the opportunities they need regardless of age or background. Through our Pledge to American Workers, over 400 companies will also provide new jobs and education opportunities to almost 15 million Americans.

46.   My Budget also contains an exciting vision for our Nation’s high schools. Tonight, I ask the Congress to support our students and back my plan to offer vocational and technical education in every single high school in America.

47.   To expand equal opportunity, I am also proud that we achieved record and permanent funding for our Nation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

48.   A good life for American families also requires the most affordable, innovative, and high-quality healthcare system on Earth. Before I took office, health insurance premiums had more than doubled in just 5 years. I moved quickly to provide affordable alternatives. Our new plans are up to 60 percent less expensive. I have also made an ironclad pledge to American families: We will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions — that is a guarantee. And we will always protect your Medicare and your Social Security.

49.   The American patient should never be blindsided by medical bills. That is why I signed an Executive Order requiring price transparency. Many experts believe that transparency, which will go into full effect at the beginning of next year, will be even bigger than healthcare reform. It will save families massive amounts of money for substantially better care.

50.   But as we work to improve Americans’ healthcare, there are those who want to take away your healthcare, take away your doctor, and abolish private insurance entirely. One hundred thirty-two lawmakers in this room have endorsed legislation to impose a socialist takeover of our healthcare system, wiping out the private health insurance plans of 180 million Americans. To those watching at home tonight, I want you to know: We will never let socialism destroy American healthcare!

51.   Over 130 legislators in this chamber have endorsed legislation that would bankrupt our Nation by providing free taxpayer-funded healthcare to millions of illegal aliens, forcing taxpayers to subsidize free care for anyone in the world who unlawfully crosses our borders. These proposals would raid the Medicare benefits our seniors depend on, while acting as a powerful lure for illegal immigration. This is what is happening in California and other States — their systems are totally out of control, costing taxpayers vast and unaffordable amounts of money. If forcing American taxpayers to provide unlimited free healthcare to illegal aliens sounds fair to you, then stand with the radical left. But if you believe that we should defend American patients and American seniors, then stand with me and pass legislation to prohibit free Government healthcare for illegal aliens!

52.   This will be a tremendous boon to our already very-strongly guarded southern border where, as we speak, a long, tall, and very powerful wall is being built. We have now completed over 100 miles and will have over 500 miles fully completed by early next year.

53.   My Administration is also taking on the big pharmaceutical companies. We have approved a record number of affordable generic drugs, and medicines are being approved by the FDA at a faster clip than ever before. I was pleased to announce last year that, for the first time in 51 years, the cost of prescription drugs actually went down.

54.   And working together, the Congress can reduce drug prices substantially from current levels. I have been speaking to Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa and others in the Congress in order to get something on drug pricing done, and done properly. I am calling for bipartisan legislation that achieves the goal of dramatically lowering prescription drug prices. Get a bill to my desk, and I will sign it into law without delay.

55.   With unyielding commitment, we are curbing the opioid epidemic — drug overdose deaths declined for the first time in nearly 30 years. Among the States hardest hit, Ohio is down 22 percent, Pennsylvania is down 18 percent, Wisconsin is down 10 percent — and we will not quit until we have beaten the opioid epidemic once and for all.

56.   Protecting Americans’ health also means fighting infectious diseases. We are coordinating with the Chinese government and working closely together on the Coronavirus outbreak in China. My Administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat.

57.   We have launched ambitious new initiatives to substantially improve care for Americans with kidney disease, Alzheimer’s, and those struggling with mental health challenges. And because the Congress funded my request, we are pursuing new cures for childhood cancer, and we will eradicate the AIDS epidemic in America by the end of the decade.

58.   Almost every American family knows the pain when a loved one is diagnosed with a serious illness. Here tonight is a special man, someone beloved by millions of Americans who just received a Stage 4 advanced cancer diagnosis. This is not good news, but what is good news is that he is the greatest fighter and winner that you will ever meet. Rush Limbaugh: Thank you for your decades of tireless devotion to our country. Rush, in recognition of all that you have done for our Nation, the millions of people a day that you speak to and inspire, and all of the incredible work that you have done for charity, I am proud to announce tonight that you will be receiving our country’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I will now ask the First Lady of the United States to please stand and present you with the honor. Rush, Kathryn, congratulations!

59.   As we pray for all who are sick, we know that America is constantly achieving new medical breakthroughs. In 2017, doctors at St. Luke’s hospital in Kansas City delivered one of the earliest premature babies ever to survive. Born at just 21 weeks and 6 days, and weighing less than a pound, Ellie Schneider was born a fighter. Through the skill of her doctors — and the prayers of her parents — little Ellie kept on winning the battle for life. Today, Ellie is a strong, healthy 2-year-old girl sitting with her amazing mother Robin in the gallery. Ellie and Robin: We are so glad you are here.

60.   Ellie reminds us that every child is a miracle of life. Thanks to modern medical wonders, 50 percent of very premature babies delivered at the hospital where Ellie was born now survive. Our goal should be to ensure that every baby has the best chance to thrive and grow just like Ellie. That is why I am asking the Congress to provide an additional $50 million to fund neo-natal research for America’s youngest patients. That is also why I am calling upon the Members of Congress here tonight to pass legislation finally banning the late-term abortion of babies.

61.   Whether we are Republican, Democrat, or Independent, surely we must all agree that every human life is a sacred gift from God!

62.   As we support America’s moms and dads, I was recently proud to sign the law providing new parents in the Federal workforce paid family leave, serving as a model for the rest of the country. Now, I call on the Congress to pass the bipartisan Advancing Support for Working Families Act, extending family leave to mothers and fathers all across the Nation.

63.   Forty million American families have an average $2,200 extra thanks to our child tax credit. I have also overseen historic funding increases for high-quality child care, enabling 17 States to serve more children, many of which have reduced or eliminated their waitlists altogether. And I sent the Congress a plan with a vision to further expand access to high-quality childcare and urge you to act immediately.

64.   To protect the environment, days ago, I announced that the United States will join the One Trillion Trees Initiative, an ambitious effort to bring together Government and the private sector to plant new trees in America and around the world.

65.   We must also rebuild America’s infrastructure. I ask you to pass Senator Barrasso’s highway bill — to invest in new roads, bridges, and tunnels across our land.

66.   I am also committed to ensuring that every citizen can have access to high-speed internet, including rural America.

67.   A better tomorrow for all Americans also requires us to keep America safe. That means supporting the men and women of law enforcement at every level, including our Nation’s heroic ICE officers.

68.   Last year, our brave ICE officers arrested more than 120,000 criminal aliens charged with nearly 10,000 burglaries, 5,000 sexual assaults, 45,000 violent assaults, and 2,000 murders.

69.   Tragically, there are many cities in America where radical politicians have chosen to provide sanctuary for these criminal illegal aliens. In Sanctuary Cities, local officials order police to release dangerous criminal aliens to prey upon the public, instead of handing them over to ICE to be safely removed.

70.   Just 29 days ago, a criminal alien freed by the Sanctuary City of New York was charged with the brutal rape and murder of a 92-year-old woman. The killer had been previously arrested for assault, but under New York’s sanctuary policies, he was set free. If the city had honored ICE’s detainer request, his victim would be alive today.

71.   The State of California passed an outrageous law declaring their whole State to be a sanctuary for criminal illegal immigrants — with catastrophic results.

72.   Here is just one tragic example. In December 2018, California police detained an illegal alien with five prior arrests, including convictions for robbery and assault. But as required by California’s Sanctuary Law, local authorities released him.

73.   Days later, the criminal alien went on a gruesome spree of deadly violence. He viciously shot one man going about his daily work; he approached a woman sitting in her car and shot her in the arm and the chest. He walked into a convenience store and wildly fired his weapon. He hijacked a truck and smashed into vehicles, critically injuring innocent victims. One of the victims of his bloody rampage was a 51-year-old American named Rocky Jones. Rocky was at a gas station when this vile criminal fired eight bullets at him from close range, murdering him in cold blood. Rocky left behind a devoted family, including his brothers who loved him more than anything. One of his grieving brothers is here with us tonight. Jody, would you please stand? Jody, our hearts weep for your loss — and we will not rest until you have justice.

74.   Senator Thom Tillis has introduced legislation to allow Americans like Jody to sue Sanctuary Cities and States when a loved one is hurt or killed as a result of these deadly policies. I ask the Congress to pass the Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities Act immediately. The United States of America should be a sanctuary for law-abiding Americans — not criminal aliens!

75.   In the last 3 years, ICE has arrested over 5,000 wicked human traffickers — and I have signed 9 pieces of legislation to stamp out the menace of human trafficking, domestically and around the globe.

76.   My Administration has undertaken an unprecedented effort to secure the southern border of the United States.

77.   Before I came into office, if you showed up illegally on our southern border and were arrested, you were simply released and allowed into our country, never to be seen again. My Administration has ended Catch-and-Release. If you come illegally, you will now be promptly removed. We entered into historic cooperation agreements with the Governments of Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala. As a result of our unprecedented efforts, illegal crossings are down 75 percent since May — dropping 8 straight months in a row. And as the wall goes up, drug seizures rise, and border crossings go down.

78.   Last year, I traveled to the border in Texas and met Chief Patrol Agent Raul Ortiz. Over the last 24 months, Agent Ortiz and his team have seized more than 200,000 pounds of poisonous narcotics, arrested more than 3,000 human smugglers, and rescued more than 2,000 migrants. Days ago, Agent Ortiz was promoted to Deputy Chief of Border Patrol — and he joins us tonight. Chief Ortiz: Please stand — a grateful Nation thanks you and all the heroes of Border Patrol.

79.   To build on these historic gains, we are working on legislation to replace our outdated and randomized immigration system with one based on merit, welcoming those who follow the rules, contribute to our economy, support themselves financially, and uphold our values.

80.   With every action, my Administration is restoring the rule of law and re-asserting the culture of American freedom. Working with Senate Majority Leader McConnell and his colleagues in the Senate, we have confirmed a record number of 187 new Federal judges to uphold our Constitution as written. This includes two brilliant new Supreme Court Justices, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh.

81.   My Administration is also defending religious liberty, and that includes the Constitutional right to pray in public schools. In America, we do not punish prayer. We do not tear down crosses. We do not ban symbols of faith. We do not muzzle preachers and pastors. In America, we celebrate faith. We cherish religion. We lift our voices in prayer, and we raise our sights to the Glory of God!

82.   Just as we believe in the First Amendment, we also believe in another Constitutional right that is under siege all across our country. So long as I am President I will always protect your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

83.   In reaffirming our heritage as a free Nation, we must remember that America has always been a frontier nation. Now we must embrace the next frontier, America’s manifest destiny in the stars. I am asking the Congress to fully fund the Artemis program to ensure that the next man and the first woman on the moon will be American astronauts — using this as a launching pad to ensure that America is the first nation to plant its flag on Mars.

84.   My Administration is also strongly defending our national security and combating radical Islamic terrorism. Last week, I announced a groundbreaking plan for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Recognizing that all past attempts have failed, we must be determined and creative in order to stabilize the region and give millions of young people the change to realize a better future.

85.   Three years ago, the barbarians of ISIS held over 20,000 square miles of territory in Iraq and Syria. Today, the ISIS territorial caliphate has been 100 percent destroyed, and the founder and leader of ISIS — the bloodthirsty killer Al‑Baghdadi — is dead!

86.   We are joined this evening by Carl and Marsha Mueller. After graduating from college, their beautiful daughter Kayla became a humanitarian aid worker. Kayla once wrote, “Some people find God in church. Some people find God in nature. Some people find God in love; I find God in suffering. I’ve known for some time what my life’s work is, using my hands as tools to relieve suffering.” In 2013, while caring for suffering civilians in Syria, Kayla was kidnapped, tortured, and enslaved by ISIS, and kept as a prisoner of Al-Baghdadi himself. After more than 500 horrifying days of captivity, Al-Baghdadi murdered young Kayla. She was just 26 years old.

87.   On the night that United States Special Forces Operators ended Al‑Baghdadi’s miserable life, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, received a call in the Situation Room. He was told that the brave men of the elite Special Forces team, that so perfectly carried out the operation, had given their mission a name — “Task Force 8-14.” It was a reference to a special day: August 14th — Kayla’s birthday. Carl and Marsha, America’s warriors never forgot Kayla — and neither will we.

88.   Every day, America’s men and women in uniform demonstrate the infinite depths of love that dwells in the human heart.

89.   One of these American heroes was Army Staff Sergeant Christopher Hake. On his second deployment to Iraq in 2008, Sergeant Hake wrote a letter to his 1-year-old son, Gage: “I will be with you again,” he wrote to Gage. “I will teach you to ride your first bike, build your first sand box, watch you play sports and see you have kids also. I love you son, take care of your mother. I am always with you. Dad.” On Easter Sunday of 2008, Chris was out on patrol in Baghdad when his Bradley Fighting Vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb. That night, he made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Sergeant Hake now rests in eternal glory in Arlington, and his wife Kelli is in the gallery tonight, joined by their son, who is now 13 years old. To Kelli and Gage: Chris will live in our hearts forever.

90.   The terrorist responsible for killing Sergeant Hake was Qasem Soleimani, who provided the deadly roadside bomb that took Chris’s life. Soleimani was the Iranian Regime’s most ruthless butcher, a monster who murdered or wounded thousands of American service members in Iraq. As the world’s top terrorist, Soleimani orchestrated the deaths of countless men, women, and children. He directed the December assault on United States Forces in Iraq, and was actively planning new attacks. That is why, last month, at my direction, the United States Military executed a flawless precision strike that killed Soleimani and terminated his evil reign of terror forever.

91.   Our message to the terrorists is clear: You will never escape American justice. If you attack our citizens, you forfeit your life!

92.   In recent months, we have seen proud Iranians raise their voices against their oppressive rulers. The Iranian regime must abandon its pursuit of nuclear weapons, stop spreading terror, death, and destruction, and start working for the good of its own people. Because of our powerful sanctions, the Iranian economy is doing very poorly. We can help them make it very good in a short period of time, but perhaps they are too proud or too foolish to ask for that help. We are here. Let’s see which road they choose. It is totally up to them.

93.   As we defend American lives, we are working to end America’s wars in the Middle East.

94.   In Afghanistan, the determination and valor of our warfighters has allowed us to make tremendous progress, and peace talks are underway. I am not looking to kill hundreds of thousands of people in Afghanistan, many of them innocent. It is also not our function to serve other nations as a law enforcement agency. These are warfighters, the best in the world, and they either want to fight to win or not fight at all. We are working to finally end America’s longest war and bring our troops back home!

95.   War places a heavy burden on our Nation’s extraordinary military families, especially spouses like Amy Williams from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and her 2 children — 6-year-old Elliana and 3-year-old Rowan. Amy works full time, and volunteers countless hours helping other military families. For the past 7 months, she has done it all while her husband, Sergeant First Class Townsend Williams, is in Afghanistan on his fourth deployment to the Middle East. Amy’s kids have not seen their father’s face in many months. Amy, your family’s sacrifice makes it possible for all of our families to live in safety and peace — we thank you.

96.   As the world bears witness tonight, America is a land of heroes. This is the place where greatness is born, where destinies are forged, and where legends come to life. This is the home of Thomas Edison and Teddy Roosevelt, of many great Generals, including Washington, Pershing, Patton, and MacArthur. This is the home of Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Amelia Earhart, Harriet Tubman, the Wright Brothers, Neil Armstrong, and so many more. This is the country where children learn names like Wyatt Earp, Davy Crockett, and Annie Oakley. This is the place where the pilgrims landed at Plymouth and where Texas patriots made their last stand at the Alamo.

97.   The American Nation was carved out of the vast frontier by the toughest, strongest, fiercest, and most determined men and women ever to walk the face of the Earth. Our ancestors braved the unknown; tamed the wilderness; settled the Wild West; lifted millions from poverty, disease, and hunger; vanquished tyranny and fascism; ushered the world to new heights of science and medicine; laid down the railroads, dug out canals, raised up the skyscrapers — and, ladies and gentlemen, our ancestors built the most exceptional Republic ever to exist in all of human history. And we are making it greater than ever before!

98.   This is our glorious and magnificent inheritance.

99.   We are Americans. We are the pioneers. We are the pathfinders. We settled the new world, we built the modern world, and we changed history forever by embracing the eternal truth that everyone is made equal by the hand of Almighty God.

100.           America is the place where anything can happen! America is the place where anyone can rise. And here, on this land, on this soil, on this continent, the most incredible dreams come true!

101.           This Nation is our canvas, and this country is our masterpiece. We look at tomorrow and see unlimited frontiers just waiting to be explored. Our brightest discoveries are not yet known. Our most thrilling stories are not yet told. Our grandest journeys are not yet made. The American Age, the American Epic, the American Adventure, has only just begun!

102.           Our spirit is still young; the sun is still rising; God’s grace is still shining; and my fellow Americans, the best is yet to come!

103.           Thank you. God Bless You. God Bless America.

Mitt Romney? BARREL & PORK.

So what do you think of Mitt Romney’s vote for witnesses and to convict? BARREL & PORK.

1. So PORK, what do you think of Mitt Romney’s vote for witnesses and vote to convict?

2. Well, BARREL, I think Mitt Romney is an interesting study in human nature.

3. How so, PORK.

4. BARREL, Mitt is handsome. He is smart. He is well dressed in his navy suit. He has held significant offices. He is straight laced. He ran for POTUS. He gives every appearance of having a strong religious moral compass. Notwithstanding, and I could be wrong, it does look like Mitt has a tragic fatal flaw.

5. What is a tragic fatal flaw, PORK?

6. Well, BARREL, a tragic fatal flaw is what is called hamartia or hamartanein, which means “to err.”

7. A tragic fatal flaw is a fatal personality deficiency that ultimately leads to the loss of influence and the downfall of the tragic hero.

8. This hamartia, this fatal flaw, fault, failure, guilt, is revealed in Greek tragedy by what the protagonist does and what he or she says.

9. This tragic flaw can be traits like ambition, cowardice, over-protectiveness, or self-sacrifice.

10. Actually, this tragic fatal flaw may be many different character traits if they become responsible for failure, self or other destruction, or death.

11. In a nutshell, a tragic fatal flaw is a character defect that leads to a person’s marginalization, self-destruction, and downfall.

12. Lack of self-knowledge or awareness, lack of good judgment are tragic fatal flaws; but most often hubris or pride  provides the seedbed for or is in fact the core tragic fatal flaw.

13. So how does this work, PORK?

14.  Well, BARREL, there are a number of persons with tragic fatal flaws in biblical accounts – people like David and Solomon and Saul and Judas had tragic fatal flaws. And there are those with tragic fatal flaws in the pages of fiction. Think for example about Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

15. One of Hamlet’s tragic fatal flaws is indecisiveness which is seen in his thinking about whether vengeance is wrong or right. This “back and forth nature” has a great deal to do with Hamlet’s ultimate downfall.

16. Hamlet wavers back and forth: “To be, or not to be – that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep … No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep …”

10. Goethe’s Dr. Faustus’ tragic flaw is his overwhelming ambition which leads to what has come to be called his Faustian bargain with the Devil.

11. Because Faust was so ambitious, wanting unlimited knowledge and unlimited pleasures, he made a contract with Satan and sold his soul for short term gains – for the proverbial mess of pottage.

12. Finally, when Faust’s soul is taken to hell, Faust realizes his sin, tries to repent, but it was too late. Lucifer, the ruler of hell under Cain, had encircled Faust with his chains. Lucifer subjected Faust to his diabolical control.

11. We have Othello who killed his faithful Desdemona and having self-destructed kills himself. Othello was possessed by the tragic fatal flaw of jealousy.

12. And of course you know Sophocle’s Oedipus the King lacked humility. Oedipus was beset with pride which was his tragic fatal flaw.

13. In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, prideful John Proctor goes to his death because of his pride.

14. So what you are saying, PORK, is that Mitt Romney has a tragic fatal flaw despite the fact that he was elected governor and senator and has millions in Switzerland and a beautiful family.

15. What is it, PORK? What is Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw?

16. You know, BARREL, I do not think I am wrong although I certainly could be wrong.

17.  I think Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw is best identified and defined by how Mitt treated and treats POTUS TRUMP. Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw may be defined by an analysis of Mitt’s election loss contrasted with POTUS TRUMP’S election win but I think that approach may be superficial. Mitt appears to have the same prideful tragic fatal flaw possessed by Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

18. Remember these facts which were all over the newspapers, tabloids, television and radio.

19. Remember that Mitt asked POTUS TRUMP to support him when Mitt ran for POTUS.

20. If I’ve got my facts right, Mitt and his wife dined with POTUS TRUMP, schmoozed POTUS TRUMP and Melania, and POTUS TRUMP graciously and with largeness of soul gave Mitt his unwavering support.

21. Juxtapose when POTUS TRUMP ran for office and POTUS TRUMP asked Mitt for his support.

22. Mitt refused to give POTUS TRUMP his unwavering support. In fact, Mitt trashed POTUS TRUMP and has continued to trash POTUS TRUMP repeatedly.

23. So I think this may well say it all. It is no wonder POTUS TRUMP did not take Mitt into his cabinet.

24. More precisely, Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw appears to be his violation and continued violation of the American, indeed world-wide, honor code of reciprocity.

25. Today in the partisan democrat driven Senate trial, given Mitt’s vocal call for witnesses, and Mitt’s leaning toward voting against POTUS TRUMP, it would appear that Mitt egotistically and jealously and with enmity and ill will is doing the same thing again to POTUS TRUMP.

16. So PORK, are you just saying that Mitt was willing to take but unwilling to give? Are you just saying that Harvard Bain Capital millionaire Mitt felt pridefully entitled to Builder Entrepreneur billionaire POTUS TRUMP’S support because Mitt believed he was one of the moral and financial and elected elite? Are you saying that it appears that Harvard Bain Capital Mitt thinks he is so much “better than Builder Entrepreneur billionaire POTUS TRUMP?”

17. Yes, BARREL. I think that says it well. Recognizing and admitting the perils of judging, and acknowledging that I could be wrong, Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw appears to be his pride and lack of humility. It appears to those of us watching from the sidelines that at the heart of this matter, Mitt’s conduct in reality is not based on moral principle; instead it is Mitt’s continuing failure to care for and love POTUS TRUMP and his family despite their perceived frailties. Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw appears to be his ongoing failure to embrace POTUS TRUMP and his family as well POTUS TRUMP’S election win. Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw appears to be an unceasing enmity and antipathy toward POTUS TRUMP because of who Mitt Romney judges POTUS TRUMP and his family to be. This same conclusion is true of Adam and Jerry and Chuck and Nancy. Their impeachment is driven not be a search for truth, although methinks they profess the same vociferously, rather their impeachment activities are driven by enmity which is to say hatred of POTUS TRUMP because of who they perceive him to be.

18. Said another way, it appears to us deplorables that Harvard Bain Capital Mitt apparently thought and it looks like he still thinks he was and is somehow better than POTUS TRUMP and that he Harvard Bain Capital Mitt was robbed of the presidency and that he Mitt is deserving of POTUS TRUMP’S support. At the same time Harvard Bain Capital Mitt appears to believe that POTUS TRUMP for whatever reason did not and does not rise to Mitt’s high standard as being worthy and deserving of Mitt’s support or for that matter worthy of being POTUS. Not as an aside, and this is only one illustration, what Mitt is apparently unwilling to recognize is that POTUS TRUMP attended Kew-Forest School, Fordham University, New York Military Academy, and Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania not Harvard. POTUS TRUMP comes to the presidency from the hard knocks life of Architecture and Construction. POTUS TRUMP comes from the hard knocks life dealing with media people as well. If I’m not mistaken, POTUS TRUMP, Warren Buffett, Ivanka Trump, Elon Musk, Peter Lynch, Jon Huntsman Sr, are but a few of Wharton’s distinguished alumni. And I think Penn has produced the most billionaires on Forbe’s 400 Richest List – more than Harvard – if I am not mistaken. And I do believe POTUS TRUMP pulled off The Apprentice as one of the highest rated television shows ever. For anyone with a smattering of experience in broadcasting and other media, such took genius of the highest order, a level of genius POTUS Obama will not begin to reach with Netflix and Mitt did not reach at Bain. Then of course there is the amazing, admirable, now legendary come from behind unexpected presidency genius win by POTUS TRUMP, a win Mitt was unable to pull off.

19. So is there reconciliation between the two men PORK? And if so, how so PORK?

20.Sure, BARREL. There can be reconciliation but such reconciliation is more than likely not on POTUS TRUMP’S side of the ledger. He is POTUS. Mitt is not, No matter how much Mitt wants to be.

21. I mean, look at it, BARREL. It is probably as simple as this. POTUS TRUMP graciously offered Mitt his support. And Mitt appears to have judged POTUS TRUMP as unworthy and so refused to reciprocate.

22. Keep in mind, BARREL, POTUS TRUMP has gone on to keep more political promises and do more for the American people than any president since Lincoln and before him Washington. In no way can Mitt as Massachusett’s governor match POTUS TRUMP’S performance.

23. Seems to me that Mitt may be well advised to swallow his pride and shake hands with POTUS TRUMP and say “I’m sorry. I have been a jerk. I have not reciprocated” and thereby quickly and whole heartedly jump on the POTUS TRUMP band wagon and campaign and labor diligently to help POTUS TRUMP and the Republicans succeed in a second term, rather than kowtowing to Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler and Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the partisan democrats. Why? Because any bargain by Mitt with or that rewards the partisan impeachment democrats is Faustian at best and the end result is more than likely not heaven.

24. Yes, PORK. And while we are having this interesting discussion, it certainly looks like the Utah electorate will have been hoodwinked by Mitt who appears to have carpet bagged his way to Utah so he could run for Orrin Hatch’s Senate Seat; and this for certain if Mitt now proves turncoat to the Republicans and POTUS TRUMP and then claims that he Mitt is righteous in prolonging this tedious democrat partisan impeachment by calling for witnesses or by voting against POTUS TRUMP because of some trumped up moral grounds.

25. Yes, BARREL. And don’t we all have one or more tragic fatal flaws?

26. We do, PORK. We all do. Tongue in cheek, even POTUS TRUMP has his share. There is a Book of Mormon scripture that says: “And if men come unto me [Jesus Christ] I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.”
Ether 12:27 ” Our challenge is to recognize our tragic fatal flaws and get rid of them before they destroy us.

Mitt Romney’s Faustian Bargain with the democrats? BARREL & PORK.

1. So PORK, what do you think of Mitt Romney’s vote for witnesses, and for conviction of POTUS TRUMP?

2. Well, BARREL, I think Mitt Romney is an interesting study in human nature.

3. How so, PORK.

4. BARREL, Mitt is handsome. He is smart. He is well dressed in his navy suit. He has held significant offices. He ran for POTUS. He gives every appearance of having a strong religious moral compass. Notwithstanding, and I could be wrong, it does look like Mitt has a tragic fatal flaw.

5. What is a tragic fatal flaw, PORK?

6. Well, BARREL, a tragic fatal flaw is what is called hamartia or hamartanein, which means “to err.”

7. This is a fatal personality deficiency that ultimately leads to the loss of influence and the downfall of the tragic hero.

8. This hamartia, this fatal flaw, fault, failure, guilt, is revealed in Greek tragedy by what the protagonist does and what he or she says.

9. This tragic flaw can be such things as ambition, cowardice, over-protectiveness, or self-sacrifice.

10. Actually, this tragic fatal flaw may be many different character traits if they become responsible for failure, self or other destruction, or death.

11. In a nutshell, a tragic fatal flaw is a character defect that leads to a person’s marginalization, self-destruction, and downfall.

12. Lack of self-knowledge or awareness, lack of good judgment are tragic fatal flaws; but most often hubris or pride  provides the seedbed for or is in fact the central core tragic fatal flaw.

13. So how does this work, PORK?

14.  Well, BARREL, think about Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

15. One of Hamlet’s tragic fatal flaws is indecisiveness which is seen in his thinking about whether vengeance is wrong or right and this “back and forth nature” determines Hamlet’s downfall.

16. Hamlet wavers back and forth: “To be, or not to be – that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep … No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep …”

10. Goethe’s Dr. Faustus’ tragic flaw is his overweening ambition which leads to what has come to be called a Fautian bargain with the Devil.

11. Because Faust was so ambitious, wanting unlimited knowledge and unlimited pleasures, he made a contract with Satan and sold his soul for short term gains and pottage.

12. Finally, when his soul is taken to hell, Faust realizes his sin, tries to repent, but it was too late. Lucifer, the ruler of hell, had encircled him in his chains and diabolical control.

11. Othello killed his faithful Desdemona and self-destructed kills himself because of his tragic fatal flaw of jealousy.

12. And of course you know Sophocle’s Oedipus the King was beset with pride which was his tragic fatal flaw.

13. And in The Crucible by Arthur Miller, prideful John Proctor goes to his death because of his pride.

14. So what you are saying, PORK, is that Mitt Romney has a tragic fatal flaw despite the fact that he was elected governor and senator and has great wealth and a beautiful family.

15. What is it, PORK? What is Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw?

16. BARREL, I do not think I am wrong.

17.  I think Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw is best identified and defined by how Mitt treated and treats POTUS TRUMP; best defined by Mitt’s election loss contrasted with POTUS TRUMP’S election win.

18. Remember these facts which were all over the papers and tabloids and television and radio.

21. Juxtapose when POTUS TRUMP ran for office and POTUS TRUMP asked Mitt for his support.

22. Mitt refused to give POTUS TRUMP his unwavering support; in fact, Mitt trashed POTUS TRUMP and has continued to trash POTUS TRUMP repeatedly.

23. So I think this says it all.

24. Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw is the tragic fatal flaw violation and continued violation of the American, indeed world-wide, honor code of reciprocity.

25. Today in the Senate trial, given Mitt’s vocal penchant for witnesses, and Mitt’s leaning toward voting against POTUS TRUMP, it would appear that Mitt egotistically is doing the same thing again to POTUS TRUMP.

16. So PORK, you are just saying that Mitt was and is willing to take but was and is unwilling to give. You are just saying that Harvard millionaire Bain Capital Mitt felt pridefully entitled to Builder Entrepreneur billionaire POTUS TRUMP’S support because Harvard Millionaire Bain Capital Mitt was one of the moral elite and thus so much “better than Builder Entrepreneur billionaire POTUS TRUMP.”

17. Yes, BARREL. Recognizing the perils of judging, and admitting I could be wrong, Harvard Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw appears to be his pride and lack of humility. It appears to those of us deplorables watching from the sidelines that at the heart of this matter, Harvard Mitt’s conduct is not in reality based on moral principle; instead it is a continuing expression not of caring and love for POTUS TRUMP but rather that of enmity and antipathy toward POTUS TRUMP.

18. It appears to us deplorables that Harvard Mitt apparently thought and thinks he was and is somehow better than POTUS TRUMP and that he Harvard Bain Capital Mitt is deserving of POTUS TRUMP’S support; while at the same time Harvard Bain Capital Mitt appears to believe that POTUS TRUMP for whatever reason did not and does not rise to Mitt’s high standard as being worthy and deserving of Mitt’s support. What Mitt is apparently unwilling to recognize is that POTUS TRUMP attended Kew-Forest School, Fordham University, New York Military Academy, and Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and is a billionaire which last count I believe ecclipses millionaire. And if I’m not mistaken, POTUS TRUMP, Warren Buffett, Ivanka Trump, Elon Musk, Peter Lynch, Jon Huntsman Sr, are but a few of Wharton’s distinguished alumni. And I think Penn has produced the most billionaires on Forbe’s 400 Richest List.

19. So is there reconciliation between the two men, PORK? And if so, how so PORK?

20.Sure, BARREL. There can be reconciliation but such reconciliation is more than likely not on POTUS TRUMP’S side of the ledger.

21. I mean, look at it, BARREL. POTUS TRUMP offered Mitt his support. And Mitt refused to reciprocate.

22. Next, POTUS TRUMP has gone on to keep more political promises and do more for the American people than any president since Lincoln and before him Washington. In no way can millionaire Mitt match POTUS TRUMP’S billionaire political performance.

23. Seems to me that Mitt may want to rethink how he is perceived and what he is doing. He may just want to swallow his pride and jump on the POTUS TRUMP band wagon, say I’m sorry, and campaign and labor diligently to help POTUS TRUMP and the Republicans succeed in a second term and throughout the nation rather than kowtowing to the partisan democrats including of all people Adam Schiff who has blatantly lied about POTUS TRUMP repeatedly; keeping in mind, Mitt, that any bargain with the democrats is Faustian at best.

24. Yes, PORK. And while we are having this discussion, it certainly looks like the Utah electorate, most of whom are trending pro-TRUMP now, will have been hoodwinked by Mitt because he appears to have carpet bagged into Utah to run for Orrin Hatch’s Senate Seat; and this is especially true now that Mitt has voted turncoat to the Republicans and POTUS TRUMP after claiming he Mitt prolonged this tedious partisan, unconstitutional impeachment by calling for witnesses and then voted against POTUS TRUMP after citing specious moral grounds.

Joe Biden and Adam Schiff are political toast. This is our takeaway from the Impeachment first day of POTUS TRUMP’S LAWYERS’ REBUTTAL. BARREL & PORK.

After the first day of the Impeachment Defense by POTUS TRUMP’S lawyers, it looks like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the democrats are still playing in the minor leagues and have boomerang stepped in it again and have egg on their faces, PORK. Only this time, POTUS TRUMP played for keeps. There is “no collusion” and “no obstruction” and “no corruption” and Adam Schiff lied multiple times and POTUS TRUMP is vindicated once again and Joe Biden is corrupt and has enriched five of his family and himself while misusing his office according to Peter Sweizer and Joe along with Adam are political toast and Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren or Mike Bloomberg will be the nominee. It’s a done deal.

How so, BARREL? If that is true, it sounds like Nancy Pelosi is working for POTUS Trump.

She is, PORK. Instead of having her ducks in a row they have all drowned.

Keep in mind, the Senate Democrats sent a letter to Ukraine in May of 2018 leaning on Ukraine to investigate POTUS TRUMP. Read this at https://townhall.com/tipsheet/timothymeads/2019/09/25/dems-sent-letter-to-ukraine-asking-for-investigation-to-trump-n2553705

Hypocrites: Senate Dems Sent Letter Pressuring Ukraine To Investigate Trump In May 2018
  1. “If you have not learned by now, … every Conservative “scandal” in recent memory has been nothing more than leftists projecting their own personal problems [and sins and crimes] onto their political opponents.
  2. “Sexism and abuse against women? Meet Bill Clinton and Harvey Weinstein.
  3. “Racism? Meet the blackface donning Gov. Ralph Northam and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
  4. [Collusion with the Russians? Meet Hillary Clinton and her cronies and collaborators.]
  5. [Obstruction of Justice? Meet Hillary and Comey and their cronies and collaborators.]
  6. “Trump pressuring Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election? [It didn’t happen.] Meet the Democrats in May 2018 [and the House Adam Schiff Impeachment charade of the last few days].
  7. “Yes, the very same Democrats who are now supposedly aghast that President Trump asked the president of Ukraine to look into Joe Biden’s family corruption and China corruption wherein Joe and Hunter banked $1+ billion,
  8. “[yes, the very same Democrats] actually sent Ukraine a letter saying “U.S. assistance” was at stake unless the Ukrainian government complied with the bogus special counsel Robert Mueller investigation and conducted their own investigation into the president and his former aid Paul Manafort.
  9. “Marc Theissen of the Washington Post brought this up yesterday, and after seeing what the president actually said in his call to the newly elected president Volodymyr Zelensky, it looks like the Democrats have nothing but egg on their face [AGAIN]. 

8. “Here’s what Theissen reported Tuesday: 

9. “It got almost no attention, but in May, CNN reported that Sens. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) and Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) wrote a letter to Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Yuriy Lutsenko, expressing concern at the closing of four investigations they said were critical to the Mueller probe.

10. “In the letter, they implied that their support for U.S. assistance to Ukraine was at stake.

11. “Describing themselves as “strong advocates for a robust and close relationship with Ukraine,” the Democratic senators declared, “We have supported [the] capacity-building process and are disappointed that some in Kyiv appear to have cast aside these [democratic] principles to avoid the ire of President Trump,” before demanding Lutsenko “reverse course and halt any efforts to impede cooperation with this important investigation.”

12. “So, it’s okay for Democratic senators to encourage Ukraine to investigate Trump, but it’s [hypocritically] not okay for the president to allegedly encourage Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden?

13. ” … The letter clearly shows they were threatening to withhold assistance unless the Ukrainian government did as they demanded. Between this uncovered letter and former Vice President Joe Biden bragging about intimidating the Ukrainian prosecutor, this whole thing is boomeranging on the Dems. Here comes Trump 2020, folks, steamrolling into the White House (again).

17. FLASH FOREWARD to the recently released Profiles in Corruption a book by Peter Sweizer setting forth Joe Biden’s corruption.

Yup, Joe Biden and Adam Schiff, who incidentally is up for reelection in his California district after having done nothing for his district rather choosing to spend his time lying about POTUS TRUMP and grandstanding, these two corrupt people are political toast.

18. Either Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders or Mike Bloomberg will be the nominees.

Spot on, BARREL. Spot on.

SCHIFF CENSURED AND CONDEMNED BY HIS PEERS FOR LYING TO CONGRESS AND AMERICA. BARREL & PORK.

BARREL, have you now read the House of Representatives censure and condemnation of Adam Schiff for lying to Congress and the American People about POTUS TRUMP?


Yes, PORK, I have. The censure and condemnation is well deserved.


Any other thoughts, BARREL?


Yes, Schiff is coming up for reelection. 


He is so obsessed with POTUS TRUMP that he has lied repeatedly about POTUS TRUMP.


At the same time he has done nothing to help his constituency in California be more free, safe, or prosperous. 


Adam Schiff should be voted out of office ASAP.


Here is the Bill censuring and condemning Adam Schiff which was Introduced Session: 116th Congress

Bill TEXT. Introduced in House (09/27/2019)

116th CONGRESS1st Session

H.   RES.   604

          Condemning and censuring Adam Schiff, Representative of California’s 28th Congressional District.


IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

September 27, 2019

          Mr. Biggs submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Ethics


RESOLUTION

         Condemning and censuring Adam Schiff, Representative of California’s 28th Congressional District.

Whereas, President Trump released the transcript of a call between him and the President of Ukraine;

Whereas, President Trump subsequently released the whistleblower complaint of August 12, 2019;

Whereas, in a September 26, 2019, hearing on the whistleblower complaint, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff purported to relay the content of the phone call to the American people;

Whereas, instead of quoting directly from the available transcript, Chairman Schiff manufactured a false retelling of the conversation between President Trump and President Zelensky;

Whereas, this egregiously false and fabricated retelling had no relationship to the call itself;

Whereas, these actions of Chairman Schiff misled the American people, bring disrepute upon the House of Representatives, and make a mockery of the impeachment process, one of this chamber’s most solemn constitutional duties;

Whereas, for more than two years, Chairman Schiff has spread false accusations that the Trump Campaign colluded with Russia;

Whereas, on March 20, 2017, then-Ranking Member Schiff read out false allegations from the Steele dossier accusing numerous Trump associates of colluding with Russia;

Whereas, then-Ranking Member Schiff falsely claimed in a March 2017 interview to have “more than circumstantial evidence” of collusion with Russia;

Whereas, then-Ranking Member Schiff negotiated with Russian comedians who he believed to be Ukrainian officials to obtain materials to damage the President of the United States politically;

Whereas, members of the Intelligence Committee have lost faith in his objectivity and capabilities as Chairman, with every Republican member on the Committee having signed a letter calling for his immediate resignation as Chairman; and

Whereas, Chairman Schiff has hindered the ability of the Intelligence Committee to fulfill its oversight responsibilities of the Intelligence Community, an indispensable pillar of our national security: Now therefore, be it

Resolved, That—

(1) the House of Representatives censures and condemns Representative Adam Schiff for conduct that misleads the American people in a way that is not befitting an elected Member of the House of Representatives;

(2) Representative Adam Schiff will forthwith present himself in the well of the House for the pronouncement of censure; and

(3) Representative Adam Schiff will be censured with the public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.

254.        I WILL IMPLEMENT A MERIT-BASED IMMIGRATION SYSTEM. “Nations around the world, like Canada, Australia and many others –- have a merit-based immigration system. 

255.        THOSE WHO ENTER OUR COUNTRY MUST BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES FINANCIALLY. “It is a basic principle that those seeking to enter a country ought to be able to support themselves financially. 

256.        I WILL ENFORCE THIS RULE. I WILL NOT CONTINUE TO STRAIN PUBLIC RESOURCES THAT OUR POOREST CITIZENS RELY ON. “Yet, in America, we do not enforce this rule, straining the very public resources that our poorest citizens rely upon.

281.        I ASK CONGRESS TO REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE NOW WITH REFORMS THAT PROVIDE AMERICANS WITH BETTER HEALTHCARE. “and at the same time, provide better Healthcare.

282.        I ASK CONGRESS TO REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE NOW BECAUSE IT IS WRONG TO MANDATE EVERY AMERICAN MUST BUY GOVERNMENT-APPROVED HEALTH INSURANCE. THAT IS NOT THE RIGHT SOLUTION. “Mandating every American to buy government-approved health insurance was never the right solution for America. 

283.        I ASK CONGRESS TO REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE NOW AND IN THE PROCESS MAKE HEALTH CARE INSURANCE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE BY LOWERING THE COST OF HEALTH INSURANCE. “The way to make health insurance available to everyone is to lower the cost of health insurance,

289.        ONE THIRD OF COUNTIES HAVE BUT ONE INSURER. “One third of counties have only one insurer on the exchanges –-

290.        MANY AMERICANS HAVE NO CHOICE WHATSOEVER. “leaving many Americans with no choice at all.

291.        POTUS OBAMA TOLD YOU THAT YOU COULD KEEP YOUR DOCTOR AND KEEP YOUR PLAN. “Remember when you were told that you could keep your doctor, and keep your plan?

292.        HE KNEW BETTER AND BROKE HIS PROMISES. “We now know that all of those promises have been broken.

293.        OBAMACARE IS COLLAPSING. “Obamacare is collapsing –-

294.        CONGRESS MUST ACT DECISIVELY TO PROTECT ALL AMERICANS. “and we must act decisively to protect all Americans. 

295.        I SAY TO CONGRESS, ACTION IS NOT A CHOICE. IT IS A NECESSITY. “Action is not a choice –- it is a necessity.

296.        I CALL ON DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS TO WORK WITH MY ADMINISTRATION TO SAVE AMERICANS FROM THIS IMPLODING OBAMACARE DISASTER. “So I am calling on all Democrats and Republicans in the Congress to work with us to save Americans from this imploding Obamacare disaster.

297.        THESE PRINCIPLES MUST GUIDE PROVIDING BETTER HEALTHCARE FOR ALL AMERICANS. “Here are the principles that should guide the Congress as we move to create a better healthcare system for all Americans:

298.        THOSE WITH PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS MUST HAVE ACCESS TO COVERAGE. “First, we should ensure that Americans with pre-existing conditions have access to coverage,

299.        THERE MUST BE A STABLE TRANSITION FOR AMERICANS CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN HEALTHCARE EXCHANGES. “and that we have a stable transition for Americans currently enrolled in the healthcare exchanges.

303.        THE PLAN MUST BE THE PLAN THE PEOPLE WANT. “but it must be the plan they want,

304.        THE PLAN, UNLIKE OBAMACARE, MUST NOT BE FORCED ON THE PEOPLE BY THE GOVERNMENT. “not the plan forced on them by the Government.

305.        STATE GOVERNORS MUST MEET NEED WITH MEDICAID SO NO ONE IS LEFT OUT. “Thirdly, we should give our great State Governors the resources and flexibility they need with Medicaid to make sure no one is left out.

306.        LEGAL REFORMS MUST PROTECT PATIENTS AND DOCTORS FROM UNNECESSARY COSTS THAT DRIVE THE PRICE OF INSURANCE UP. “Fourthly, we should implement legal reforms that protect patients and doctors from unnecessary costs that drive up the price of insurance –

307.        LEGAL REFORMS MUST PROTECT OUR PEOPLE FROM ARTIFICIALLY HIGH PRICE OF DRUGS. “and work to bring down the artificially high price of drugs

308.        LEGAL REFORMS MUST MANDATE THAT ARTIFICIALLY HIGH PRICES OF DRUGS BE BROUGHT DOWN IMMEDIATELY. “and bring them down immediately.

309.        AMERICANS MUST BE PERMITTED TO BUY HEALTH INSURANCE ACROSS STATE LINES. “Finally, the time has come to give Americans the freedom to purchase health insurance across State lines –-

310.        WE MUST CREATE A COMPETITIVE NATIONAL MARKETPLACE FOR HEALTH INSURANCE. “creating a truly competitive national marketplace

311.        NATIONWIDE COMPETITION WILL BRING COSTS DOWN. “that will bring cost way down

312.        NATIONWIDE COMPETITION WILL PROVIDE FAR BETTER CARE. “and provide far better care.

313.        ALL THAT IS BROKEN IN OUR COUNTRY CAN BE FIXED. “Everything that is broken in our country can be fixed. 

314.        ALL PROBLEMS CAN BE SOLVED. “Every problem can be solved. 

315.        ALL HURTING FAMILIES CAN FIND HEALING AND HOPE. “And every hurting family can find healing, and hope.

316.        OUR AMERICAN CITIZENS DESERVE THIS AND MORE. “Our citizens deserve this, and so much more –-

317.        I ASK DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS TO JOIN FORCES TO GET THIS DONE NOW. “so why not join forces to finally get it done?  

318.        I ASK DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS TO GET TOGETHER, TO UNITE, FOR THE GOOD OF AMERICA AND ITS PEOPLE. “On this and so many other things, Democrats and Republicans should get together and unite for the good of our country, and for the good of the American people.

319.        MY ADMINISTRATION WILL WORK WITH BOTH PARTIES. “My administration wants to work with members in both parties

320.        WE WILL DO SO TO MAKE CHILDCARE ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE. “to make childcare accessible and affordable,

321.        WE WILL DO SO TO HELP ENSURE NEW PARENTS HAVE PAID FAMILY LEAVE. “to help ensure new parents have paid family leave,

322.        WE WILL DO SO TO INVEST IN WOMEN’S HEALTH. “to invest in women’s health,

323.        WE WILL DO SO TO PROMOTE CLEAN AIR AND CLEAR WATER. “and to promote clean air and clear water,

327.        TRUE LOVE FOR OUR AMERICAN PEOPLE MANDATES THAT WE ADVANCE THE COMMON GOOD. “to advance the common good,

328.        TRUE LOVE FOR OUR AMERICAN PEOPLE MANDATES THAT WE COOPERATE ON BEHALF OF EVERY AMERICAN CHILD BECAUSE EACH DESERVES A BRIGHTER FUTURE. “and to cooperate on behalf of every American child who deserves a brighter future.

329.        INCREDIBLE MEGAN CROWLEY IS WITH US TODAY. An incredible young woman is with us this evening who should serve as an inspiration to us all. Today is Rare Disease day, and joining us in the gallery is a Rare Disease Survivor, Megan Crowley.  Megan was diagnosed with Pompe Disease, a rare and serious illness, when she was 15 months old.  She was not expected to live past 5. On receiving this news, Megan’s dad, John, fought with everything he had to save the life of his precious child.  He founded a company to look for a cure, and helped develop the drug that saved Megan’s life.  Today she is 20 years old – and a sophomore at Notre Dame. Megan’s story is about the unbounded power of a father’s love for a daughter. 

330.        FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION APPROVAL PROCESSES MUST BE ACCELERATED NOW. “But our slow and burdensome approval process at the Food and Drug Administration keeps too many advances, like the one that saved Megan’s life, from reaching those in need. If we slash the restraints, not just at the FDA but across our Government, then we will be blessed with far more miracles like Megan.


331.        WE MUST ENRICH THE MIND AND SOUL OF EACH AMERICAN CHILD. I ASK MEMBERS OF BOTH PARTIES TO PASS AN EDUCATION BILL THAT FUNDS SCHOOL CHOICE TO PUBLIC, PRIVATE, CHARTER, MAGNET, RELIGIOUS, OR HOME SCHOOL FOR ALL YOUTH, FOR DISADVANTAGED YOUTH, INCLUDING MILLIONS OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND LATINO CHILDREN. “In fact, our children will grow up in a Nation of miracles. But to achieve this future, we must enrich the mind –- and the souls –- of every American child. Education is the civil rights issue of our time. I am calling upon Members of both parties to pass an education bill that funds school choice for disadvantaged youth, including millions of African-American and Latino children.  These families should be free to choose the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school that is right for them.

332.        DENISHA MERRIWEATHER IS WITH US TONIGHT. WE MUST BREAK THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE IN ORDER TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY. “Joining us tonight in the gallery is a remarkable woman, Denisha Merriweather.  As a young girl, Denisha struggled in school and failed third grade twice. But then she was able to enroll in a private center for learning, with the help of a tax credit scholarship program. Today, she is the first in her family to graduate, not just from high school, but from college.  Later this year she will get her masters degree in social work. We want all children to be able to break the cycle of poverty just like Denisha. But to break the cycle of poverty, we must also break the cycle of violence.

333.        THE MURDER RATE IS HORRIFIC. MORE THAN 4,000 PEOPLE WERE SHOT IN CHICAGO LAST YEAR. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. “The murder rate in 2015 experienced its largest single-year increase in nearly half a century. In Chicago, more than 4,000 people were shot last year alone –- and the murder rate so far this year has been even higher. This is not acceptable in our society.

334.        EVERY AMERICAN CHILD MUST BE ABLE TO GROW UP IN A SAFE COMMUNITY, ATTEND A GREAT SCHOOL, AND HAVE ACCESS TO A HIGH-PAYING JOB. “Every American child should be able to grow up in a safe community, to attend a great school, and to have access to a high-paying job.

335.        WE MUST WORK WITH THE MEN AND WOMEN OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. “But to create this future, we must work with –- not against -– the men and women of law enforcement.

336.        WE MUST BUILD BRIDGES OF COOPERATION AND TRUST WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. “We must build bridges of cooperation and trust –-

337.        WE MUST NOT DRIVE THE WEDGE OF DISUNITY AND DIVISION. “not drive the wedge of disunity and division.

338.        WE MUST HONOR AND SUPPORT OUR POLICE AND SHERIFFS. “Police and sheriffs are members of our community. They are friends and neighbors, they are mothers and fathers, sons and daughters – and they leave behind loved ones every day who worry whether or not they’ll come home safe and sound. We must support the incredible men and women of law enforcement.

339.        WE MUST SUPPORT VICTIMS OF CRIME. “And we must support the victims of crime.

340.        I HAVE ORDERED THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY TO CREATE AN OFFICE TO SERVE AMERICAN VICTIMS. I WILL NOT FORGET THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN KILLED BY AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD. ‘I have ordered the Department of Homeland Security to create an office to serve American Victims. The office is called VOICE –- Victims Of Immigration Crime Engagement. We are providing a voice to those who have been ignored by our media, and silenced by special interests. Joining us in the audience tonight are four very brave Americans whose government failed them. Their names are Jamiel Shaw, Susan Oliver, Jenna Oliver, and Jessica Davis. Jamiel’s 17-year-old son was viciously murdered by an illegal immigrant gang member, who had just been released from prison. Jamiel Shaw Jr. was an incredible young man, with unlimited potential who was getting ready to go to college where he would have excelled as a great quarterback.  But he never got the chance. His father, who is in the audience tonight, has become a good friend of mine. Also with us are Susan Oliver and Jessica Davis. Their husbands –- Deputy Sheriff Danny Oliver and Detective Michael Davis –- were slain in the line of duty in California. They were pillars of their community. These brave men were viciously gunned down by an illegal immigrant with a criminal record and two prior deportations. Sitting with Susan is her daughter, Jenna. Jenna:  I want you to know that your father was a hero, and that tonight you have the love of an entire country supporting you and praying for you. To Jamiel, Jenna, Susan and Jessica:  I want you to know –- we will never stop fighting for justice. Your loved ones will never be forgotten, we will always honor their memory.

341.        I AM ASKING CONGRESS TO APPROVE MY BUDGET TO PROVIDE THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WITH THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO PREVENT, FIGHT, AND WIN WAR – TO REBUILD OUR MILITARY, TO ELIMINATE THE DEFENSE SEQUESTER, TO INCREASE THE NATIONAL DEFENSE SPENDING NEEDED, AND TO FUND HELP FOR OUR VETERANS. I WILL REMEMBER, WITH ALL WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES, U.S. NAVY SPECIAL OPERATOR, SENIOR CHIEF WILLIAM “RYAN” OWENS.“Finally, to keep America Safe we must provide the men and women of the United States military with the tools they need to prevent war and –- if they must –- to fight and to win. I am sending the Congress a budget that rebuilds the military, eliminates the Defense sequester, and calls for one of the largest increases in national defense spending in American history. My budget will also increase funding for our veterans. Our veterans have delivered for this Nation –- and now we must deliver for them. The challenges we face as a Nation are great. But our people are even greater. And none are greater or braver than those who fight for America in uniform. We are blessed to be joined tonight by Carryn Owens, the widow of a U.S. Navy Special Operator, Senior Chief William “Ryan” Owens. Ryan died as he lived:  a warrior, and a hero –- battling against terrorism and securing our Nation. I just spoke to General Mattis, who reconfirmed that, and I quote, “Ryan was a part of a highly successful raid that generated large amounts of vital intelligence that will lead to many more victories in the future against our enemies.” Ryan’s legacy is etched into eternity. For as the Bible teaches us, there is no greater act of love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. Ryan laid down his life for his friends, for his country, and for our freedom –- we will never forget him.

342.        OUR FOREIGN POLICY CALLS FOR DIRECT, ROBUST, MEANINGFUL LEADERSHIP AND ENGAGEMENT WITH THE WORLD. “To those allies who wonder what kind of friend America will be, look no further than the heroes who wear our uniform. Our foreign policy calls for a direct, robust and meaningful engagement with the world. It is American leadership based on vital security interests that we share with our allies across the globe.

343.        WE SUPPORT NATO. “We strongly support NATO, an alliance forged through the bonds of two World Wars that dethroned fascism, and a Cold War that defeated communism.

344.        OUR PARTNERS IN NATO AND OTHER THEATERS MUST MEET THEIR FINANCIAL AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS. THEY MUST PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF THE COST. “But our partners must meet their financial obligations. And now, based on our very strong and frank discussions, they are beginning to do just that. We expect our partners, whether in NATO, in the Middle East, or the Pacific –-  to take a direct and meaningful role in both strategic and military operations, and pay their fair share of the cost.

345.        WE RESPECT HISTORIC INSTITUTIONS, BUT WE RESPECT SOVEREIGN RIGHTS OF NATIONS. FREE NATIONS MUST CHART THEIR OWN COURSE. “We will respect historic institutions, but we will also respect the sovereign rights of nations. Free nations are the best vehicle for expressing the will of the people –- and America respects the right of all nations to chart their own path.  

346.        I DO NOT REPRESENT THE WORLD. I REPRESENT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THAT IS MY JOB. “My job is not to represent the world. My job is to represent the United States of America.

347.        AMERICA IS BETTER OFF WHEN THERE IS LESS CONFLICT. “But we know that America is better off, when there is less conflict — not more.

348.        WE MUST LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST. “We must learn from the mistakes of the past –- we have seen the war and destruction that have raged across our world.

349.        IN THESE HUMANITARIAN DISASTERS, DISPLACED PERSONS MUST BE AFFORDED THE RIGHT AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO RETURN HOME. “The only long-term solution for these humanitarian disasters is to create the conditions where displaced persons can safely return home and begin the long process of rebuilding.

350.        AMERICA IS WILLING TO FIND NEW FRIENDS, FORGE NEW PARTNERSHIPS, WHERE SHARED INTERESTS ALIGN. AMERICA WANTS PEACE. WE WANT JUSTICE. WE WANT FREEDOM. “America is willing to find new friends, and to forge new partnerships, where shared interests align.  We want harmony and stability, not war and conflict. We want peace, wherever peace can be found. America is friends today with former enemies. Some of our closest allies, decades ago, fought on the opposite side of these World Wars. This history should give us all faith in the possibilities for a better world. Hopefully, the 250th year for America will see a world that is more peaceful, more just and more free.

351.        WE MUST SET FREE THE DREAMS OF OUR PEOPLE TO BUILD, PAINT, INVENT, CURE ILLNESSES, AND SET FOOT ON DISTANT WORLDS. “On our 100th anniversary, in 1876, citizens from across our Nation came to Philadelphia to celebrate America’s centennial. At that celebration, the country’s builders and artists and inventors showed off their creations. Alexander Graham Bell displayed his telephone for the first time. Remington unveiled the first typewriter. An early attempt was made at electric light. Thomas Edison showed an automatic telegraph and an electric pen. Imagine the wonders our country could know in America’s 250th year. Think of the marvels we can achieve if we simply set free the dreams of our people. Cures to illnesses that have always plagued us are not too much to hope. American footprints on distant worlds are not too big a dream. Millions lifted from welfare to work is not too much to expect. And streets where mothers are safe from fear – schools where children learn in peace – and jobs where Americans prosper and grow – are not too much to ask. When we have all of this, we will have made America greater than ever before.

352.        THIS IS OUR VISION AND OUR MISSION FOR ALL AMERICANS. WE ARE ONE PEOPLE. WE BLEED THE SAME BLOOD. WE SALUTE THE SAME FLAG. WE ARE MADE BY THE SAME GOD. WE CELEBRATE 250 YEARS OF GLORIOUS FREEDOM. THIS IS A NEW CHAPTER IN AMERICAN GREATNESS. THE TIME FOR SMALL THINKING IS PAST. WE NEED COURAGE. WE NEED CONFIDENCE. WE MUST BE INSPIRED BY THE FUTURE, NOT BOUND BY THE FAILURES OF THE PAST, GUIDED BY OUR VISION, NOT BLINDED BY OUR DOUBTS. “For all Americans. This is our vision. This is our mission. But we can only get there together. We are one people, with one destiny. We all bleed the same blood. We all salute the same flag. And we are all made by the same God. And when we fulfill this vision; when we celebrate our 250 years of glorious freedom, we will look back on tonight as when this new chapter of American Greatness began. The time for small thinking is over. The time for trivial fights is behind us. We just need the courage to share the dreams that fill our hearts. The bravery to express the hopes that stir our souls. And the confidence to turn those hopes and dreams to action. From now on, America will be empowered by our aspirations, not burdened by our fears –- inspired by the future, not bound by the failures of the past –- and guided by our vision, not blinded by our doubts.

353.        I ASK YOU ALL TO EMBRACE THIS RENEWAL OF THE AMERICAN SPIRIT. I ASK ALL OF YOU TO BELIEVE IN AMERICA. “I am asking all citizens to embrace this Renewal of the American Spirit. I am asking all members of Congress to join me in dreaming big, and bold and daring things for our country. And I am asking everyone watching tonight to seize this moment and — Believe in yourselves. Believe in your future. And believe, once more, in America.

354.        THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU. GOD BLESS THE USA. “Thank you, God bless you, and God Bless these United States.

Critical democrats and disaffected republicans and much of the media, are focused on criticizing, finding fault, and the negatives of life.

FYI to Senate. Text of Censure and Condemnation of Adam Schiff in the House of Representatives. Barrel & Pork.


BARREL, have you read the House of Representatives censure and condemnation of Adam Schiff for lying to Congress and the American People about POTUS TRUMP?

No, PORK, I have not.

Here is the Bill censuring and condemning Adam Schiff which was Introduced Session: 116th Congress

Bill TEXT. Introduced in House (09/27/2019)

116th CONGRESS 1st Session

H.   RES.   604

          Condemning and censuring Adam Schiff, Representative of California’s 28th Congressional District.


IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

September 27, 2019

          Mr. Biggs submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Ethics


RESOLUTION

         Condemning and censuring Adam Schiff, Representative of California’s 28th Congressional District.

Whereas, President Trump released the transcript of a call between him and the President of Ukraine;

Whereas, President Trump subsequently released the whistleblower complaint of August 12, 2019;

Whereas, in a September 26, 2019, hearing on the whistleblower complaint, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff purported to relay the content of the phone call to the American people;

Whereas, instead of quoting directly from the available transcript, Chairman Schiff manufactured a false retelling of the conversation between President Trump and President Zelensky;

Whereas, this egregiously false and fabricated retelling had no relationship to the call itself;

Whereas, these actions of Chairman Schiff misled the American people, bring disrepute upon the House of Representatives, and make a mockery of the impeachment process, one of this chamber’s most solemn constitutional duties;

Whereas, for more than two years, Chairman Schiff has spread false accusations that the Trump Campaign colluded with Russia;

Whereas, on March 20, 2017, then-Ranking Member Schiff read out false allegations from the Steele dossier accusing numerous Trump associates of colluding with Russia;

Whereas, then-Ranking Member Schiff falsely claimed in a March 2017 interview to have “more than circumstantial evidence” of collusion with Russia;

Whereas, then-Ranking Member Schiff negotiated with Russian comedians who he believed to be Ukrainian officials to obtain materials to damage the President of the United States politically;

Whereas, members of the Intelligence Committee have lost faith in his objectivity and capabilities as Chairman, with every Republican member on the Committee having signed a letter calling for his immediate resignation as Chairman; and

Whereas, Chairman Schiff has hindered the ability of the Intelligence Committee to fulfill its oversight responsibilities of the Intelligence Community, an indispensable pillar of our national security: Now therefore, be it

Resolved, That—

(1) the House of Representatives censures and condemns Representative Adam Schiff for conduct that misleads the American people in a way that is not befitting an elected Member of the House of Representatives;

(2) Representative Adam Schiff will forthwith present himself in the well of the House for the pronouncement of censure; and

(3) Representative Adam Schiff will be censured with the public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.

Impeachment Day 1 Grades. BARREL & PORK.

  1. All Senators. A for decorum.
  2. Mark Levin. A+ for the finest presentation on the impeachment charade made to-date. Click here to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E1mOkNohl8
  3. Chief Justice Roberts. A for dignity.
  4. Elizabeth MacDonough. A for work as parliamentarian.
  5. Mitch McConnell. A+ for wisdom and backbone and reasoned defense of rules.
  6. Pat Cipollone and team. A- for presentation. They can profit from the Mark Levin lesson.
  7. Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. F– for duplicitous calls for new witnesses to prolong the trial, for rewriting the Constitution to obstruction of Congress instead of High Crimes and Misdemeanors, for multiple pinocchios about POTUS TRUMP, for wasting our taxpayer money and time for months with impeachment nonsense, and for doing nothing to help their constituencies or the rest of us be FREE, SAFE, AND PROSPEROUS.
  8. Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler. F- for multiple pinocchios including rewriting the Constitution, for doing nothing for the nation and their constituencies.
  9. POTUS TRUMP. A+ keeping his campaign promises by working as a statesman helping us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.

Bottom line day 1 Impeachment trial? Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, Schumer are on trial not POTUS Trump. BARREL & PORK.

1. BARREL, what is your take away after this first day of the Impeachment Trial in the Senate?

2. My take, is this PORK – POTUS Trump was well within his rights in his dealings with Ukraine and the House. There is no proof of wrongdoing.

3. There is no proof of Russia collusion, of quid pro quo, or obstruction of justice, or obstruction of congress.

4. Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer are on trial, not POTUS Trump. 

5. Schiff, Nadler, and Pelosi have failed to make their partisan case. All four have wasted our time and money and in the process failed their own constituencies completely.

6. While these four continue to waste our money and time, POTUS Trump is helping us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.

7. The dark perfidiousness of Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer, in trying to remove a sitting president for political advantage, is now brought into the light of day for the Senate, the nation, and the world to condemn.


8. Yes, BARREL. I agree with you. Let’s vote the four out of office and send them packing. I’m forecasting a POTUS Trump rout in the fall.

Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Schumer impeached themselves. BARREL & PORK.

Barrel & Pork (c) 2016- 2020
Linford Corp.

So BARREL, what is your take about impeachment of POTUS TRUMP and the constitution?

PORK, my take is straight forward. 

POTUS TRUMP has been framed. He is “not guilty.” All thinking men and women know this. The partisan, democrat orchestrated plan to impeach POTUS TRUMP was in place before POTUS TRUMP was formally sworn in.

As a consequence, POTUS TRUMP and his family have been abused more than most individuals I know could endure.

PORK, “The judgment of history is that a group of scoundrels [Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, and the democrats] in control of the U.S. House of Representatives placed partisan interests above the country, undermined the Constitution, weakened America in the world, and [Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, and the democrats] lied about the duly elected president of the United States,” sending articles of impeachment to the Senate that were unsupported by factual evidence and were voted for by democrats alone.

“This [is now] Pelosi’s [and Schiff’s and Nadler’s and the democrat’s] moment of  shame, and Trump’s moment of redemption [and triumph.]

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/newt-gingrich-trump-impeachment-will-bring-pelosi-and-house-democrats-condemnation-by-history

My thoughts as well, BARREL. Vote the scoundrels out of office! Drum them out! 

Pelosi giddily chortled today that POTUS TRUMP is now “impeached for history.”

What she doesn’t get is three of her accusing fingers point directly back at her and Schiff and Nadler and the democrats. 

While POTUS TRUMP has been helping us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS, Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler and the democrats have done nothing for us.


BARREL, the truth is Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler and the democrats have impeached themselves.

POTUS ABUSE by Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer. Barrel & Pork.

Barrel & Pork

1. You four – Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer – have ineptly wasted several years of our time and millions of dollars with your misguided animus and impeachment hearings and the four of you are guilty of POTUS ABUSE.

2. During the years since POTUS Trump was elected, you have spent all of your time criticizing POTUS Trump while doing nothing to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS and in the process have violated your oaths of office and

failed your California and other constituencies and the nation in general. Once again your efforts to harm POTUS Trump have turned into an impeachment nothingburger and boomerang back at ya.

3. We predict a 2020 landslide for POTUS Trump because of your misguided investigations and animus and costly impeachment actions against him. We believe his real poll numbers are 80-90% now and given the way you have abused him it is obvious to us that the four of you are guilty of collusion against the POTUS and you four are also guilty of POTUS ABUSE and we call for your resignations. 

4. The idea that POTUS Trump abused power is ludicrous given his letters and interaction with Ukraine which show: 

a.      NO HIGH CRIME!

b.      NO MISDEMEANOR!

c.       NO COLLUSION!

d.       NO OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE!

e.       NO  QUID PRO QUO!

f.        NO EXTORTION!

g.       NO BRIBERY!

h.       NO VIOLATION OF OATH OF OFFICE!

i.        NO WITHHOLDING OF AID TO UKRAINE!

j.        NO ABUSE OF POWER!

k.       NO CAUSE FOR IMPEACHMENT OR CENSURE!

l.        NO INDICATION POTUS TRUMP withheld military aid or anything from President Zelenskyy and Ukraine in return for an investigation of corruption – including an investigation into Burisma company and Joe and his son!

m.        In fact, in conversation with POTUS Trump President Zelenskyy says he/Ukraine is just about ready to buy Javelins!

n.    The fact is both men have a very low opinion of Ambassador Ivanovich and POTUS Trump is not faulted if he replaced her!

o.      We have a mutual effort on the part of POTUS TRUMP and President Zelenskyy to work together and to reign in and eliminate corruption – and this with the help of prosecutor(s) in Ukraine and Mr. Giuliani and AG Barr — looking into corruption including looking into Burisma and Joe and his son and the China billion plus graft to Joe’s son and to Joe. If Joe withheld U.S. aid to Ukraine in return for the firing of the prosecutor looking into Burisma and Joe’s son – which Joe admitted and laughed at – and if Joe’s son and Joe got a billion plus from the Chinese, trace the money to Joe’s and his son’s various accounts including any hidden ones, Joe needs to admit his perfidy and quit his sham political race.

p.      While the phone call transcript exonerates POTUS TRUMP, nothing to-date exonerates Joe or his son or you four.

5. The idea that POTUS Trump obstructed congress with a few tweets or refusal to dignify your one sided charade with witnesses is ludicrous. You four are the ones who have obstructed congress by preventing republican witnesses from testifying and by holding secret hearings. You four are the ones who are guilty of POTUS ABUSE, obstruction of congress, and abuse of power. All members of the house need to vote no on impeachment and stop this political madness and focus on helping us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.

Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and Jerry Nadler do nothing democrats produce no legal cause of action against POTUS Trump. Barrel & Pork.

PORK, I have heard a great deal about the Telephone Conversation POTUS Trump had with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine on July 25, 2019, 9:03 – 9:33 a.m. EDT. What do you think? Does it incriminate POTUS TRUMP?

BARREL, I have just now taken the time to analyze the conversation. My conclusion? We have another Adam Schiff nothingburger! There is nothing with which to impeach POTUS Trump – nothing with which to charge him with a crime – the Adam Schiff hearings are indeed a hoax. Take a look at the following.

    1.       UNCLASSIFIED.

    2.       https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Unclassified09.2019.pdf

    3.       “The President: Congratulations on a great victory. We all watched from the United States and you did a terrific job. The way you came from behind, somebody who wasn’t given much of a chance, and you ended up winning easily. It’s a fantastic achievement. Congratulations.”

a.       NO HIGH CRIME.

b.      NO MISDEMEANOR.

c.       NO COLLUSION.

i.        NO WITHHOLDING OF AID TO UKRAINE.

j.        NO ABUSE OF POWER.

k.       NO CAUSE FOR IMPEACHMENT OR CENSURE.

    4.       “President Zelenskyy: You are absolutely right Mr. President. We did win big and we worked hard for this. We worked a lot but I would like to confess to you that I had an opportunity to learn from you. We used quite a few of your skills and knowledge and were able to use it as an example for our elections and yes it is true that these were unique elections. We were in a unique situation that we were able to achieve a unique success. I’m able to tell you the following; the first time, you called me to congratulate me when I won my presidential election, and the second time you are now calling me when my party won the parliamentary election. I think I should run more often so you can call me more often and we can talk over the phone more often.”

a.       NO HIGH CRIME.

b.      NO MISDEMEANOR.

c.       NO COLLUSION.

d.      NO OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.

e.       NO  QUID PRO QUO.

f.        NO EXTORTION.

    6.       “President Zelenskyy: Well yes, to tell you the truth, we are trying to work hard because we wanted to drain the swamp here in our country. We brought in many many new people. Not the old politicians, not the typical politicians, because we want to have a new format and a new type of government. You are a great teacher for us and in that.”

k.      NO CAUSE FOR IMPEACHMENT OR CENSURE.

l.      President Zelenskyy says “we are trying to work hard because we wanted to drain the swamp here in our country.”

    7.       “The President: Well it’s very nice of you to say that. I will say that we do a lot for Ukraine. We spend a lot of effort and a lot of time. Much more than the European countries are doing and they should be helping you more than they are. Germany does almost nothing for you. All they do is talk and I think it’s something that you should really ask them about. When I was speaking to Angela Merkel she talks Ukraine, but she doesn’t do anything. A lot of the European countries are the same way so I think it’s something you want to look at but the United States has been very good to Ukraine. I wouldn’t say that it’s reciprocal necessarily because things are happening that are not good but the United States has been very very good to Ukraine.”

i.        NO WITHHOLDING OF AID TO UKRAINE.

j.        NO ABUSE OF POWER.

k.       NO CAUSE FOR IMPEACHMENT OR CENSURE.

l.        The President makes his point that “the United States has been very very good to Ukraine” while Germany and other European countries have not helped Ukraine.

    8.       “President Zelenskyy: Yes you are absolutely right. Not only 100%, but actually 1000% and I can tell you the following; I did talk to Angela Merkel and I did meet with her. I also met and talked with Macron and I told them that they are not doing quite as much as they need to be doing on the issues with the sanctions. They are not enforcing the sanctions. They are not working as much as they should work for Ukraine. It turns out that even though logically, the European Union should be our biggest partner but technically the United States is a much bigger partner than the European Union and I’m very grateful to you for that because the United States is doing quite a lot for Ukraine. Much more than the European Union especially when we are talking about sanctions against the Russian Federation. I would also like to thank you for your great support in the area of defense. We are ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps specifically we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.”

a.       NO HIGH CRIME.

b.      NO MISDEMEANOR.

d.      NO OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.

e.       NO  QUID PRO QUO.

i.        NO WITHHOLDING OF AID TO UKRAINE.

j.        NO ABUSE OF POWER.

k.       NO CAUSE FOR IMPEACHMENT OR CENSURE.

l.      President Zelenskyy agrees with POTUS Trump about Germany’s and Frances’ and the European Union in general lack of help and confirms that “the United States is doing quite a lot for Ukraine. Much more than the European Union especially when we are talking about sanctions against the Russian Federation.” Next, he states that Ukraine is “ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps specifically we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.”

    9.       “The President” I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike… I guess you have one of your wealthy people … The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you’re surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible.”

a.       NO HIGH CRIME.

i.        NO WITHHOLDING OF AID TO UKRAINE.

j.        NO ABUSE OF POWER.

k.       NO CAUSE FOR IMPEACHMENT OR CENSURE.

l.      POTUS Trump asks President Zelenskyy “to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike… I guess you have one of your wealthy people… The server, they say Ukraine has it.” Then he says he would “like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it.” Then the POTUS emphasizes the importance of such. “Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible.” e.g. Look into corruption. Look into Crowdstrike. Look into Biden.

    10.   “President Zelenskyy: Yes it is very important for me and everything that you just mentioned earlier. For me as a President, it is very important and we are open for any future cooperation. We are ready to open a new page on cooperation in relations between the United States and Ukraine. For that purpose, I just recalled our ambassador from United States and he will be replaced by a very competent and very experienced ambassador who will work hard on making sure that our two nations are getting closer. I would also like and hope to see him having your trust and your confidence and have personal relations with you so we can cooperate even more so. I will personally tell you that one of my assistants spoke with Mr. Giuliani just recently and we are hoping very much that Mr. Giuliani will be able to travel to Ukraine and we will meet once he comes to Ukraine. I just wanted to assure you once again that you have nobody but friends round us. I will make sure that I surround myself with the best and most experienced people.

    11.   “The President: Good because I heard you had a prosecutor who was very good and he was shut down and that’s really unfair. A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your very good prosecutor down and you had some very bad people involved. Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man. He was the mayor of New York City, a great mayor, and I would like him to call you. I will ask him to call you along with the Attorney General. Rudy very much knows what’s happening and he is a very capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great. The former ambassador from the United States, the woman, was bad news and the people she was dealing with in the Ukraine were bad news so I just want to let you know that. The other thing, There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it … It sounds horrible to me.”

Since we have won the absolute majority in our Parliament, the next prosecutor general will be 100% my person, my candidate, who will be approved by the parliament and will start as a new prosecutor in September. He or she will look into the situation, specifically to the company that you mentioned in this issue. The issue of the investigation of the case is actually the issue of making sure to restore the honesty so we will take care of that and will work on the investigation of the case. On top of that, I would kindly ask you if you have any additional information that you can provide to us, it would be very helpful for the investigation to make sure that we administer justice in our country with regard to the Ambassador to the United States from Ukraine as far as I recall her name was Ivanovich. It was great that you were the first one who told me that she was a bad ambassador because I agree with you 100%.

I also wanted to thank you for your invitation to visit the United States, specifically Washington DC. On the other hand, I also want to ensure you that we will be very serious about the case and will work on the investigation. As to the economy, there is much potential for our two countries and one of the issues that is very important for Ukraine is energy independence. I believe we can be very successful and cooperating on energy independence with United States. We are already working on cooperation.

On the other hand, I believe that on September 1 we will be in Poland and we can meet in Poland hopefully. After that, it might be a very good idea for you to travel to Ukraine.

l.      NO INDICATION POTUS TRUMP withheld military aid or anything from President Zelenskyy and Ukraine in return for an investigation of corruption – including an investigation into X company and Joe Biden.

m.        In fact, President Zelenskyy says he is just about ready to buy Javelins.

n.    Both men have a very low opinion of Ambassador Ivanovich.

o.      We have a mutual effort on the part of POTUS TRUMP and President Zelenskyy to work together and to reign in and eliminate corruption – and this with the help of prosecutor(s) in Ukraine and Mr. Giuliani and AG Barr — looking into corruption including looking into Crowdstrike and Bidens.

p.      This phone call exonerates POTUS TRUMP completely. Why? Because there is:

What we do have is Nancy Pelosi, Jerry Nadler, Adam Schiff and other do nothing democrats, together with certain disaffected republicans, who have wasted millions of our dollars and years of our precious time in their investigations, all the while doing nothing to help their own constituencies – doing nothing to help us the American voters – be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS since POTUS Trump was elected; while all the while POTUS Trump has eliminated hundreds of onerous regulations, created the best economy in U.S. history, helped eliminate much of the wealth transfer from middle class America to Europe and China, while at the same time keeping more than 300 promises to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS that POTUS Trump made to the American people. 

TRUMP ZELENSKYY CONVERSATION AND ANALYSIS NOTHINGBURGER. BARREL & PORK.


PORK, I have heard a great deal about the Telephone Conversation POTUS Trump had with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine on July 25, 2019, 9:03 – 9:33 a.m. EDT. What do you think? Does it incriminate POTUS TRUMP?

BARREL, I have just now taken the time to analyze the conversation. My conclusion? We have another Adam Schiff nothingburger. There is nothing with which to impeach POTUS Trump. Take a look at the following.

1.       UNCLASSIFIED.

3.       “The President: Congratulations on a great victory. We all watched from the United States and you did a terrific job. The way you came from behind, somebody who wasn’t given much of a chance, and you ended up winning easily. It’s a fantastic achievement. Congratulations.”

We worked a lot but I would like to confess to you that I had an opportunity to learn from you. We used quite a few of your skills and knowledge and were able to use it as an example for our elections and yes it is true that these were unique elections. We were in a unique situation that we were able to achieve a unique success. I’m able to tell you the following; the first time, you called me to congratulate me when I won my presidential election, and the second time you are now calling me when my party won the parliamentary election. I think I should run more often so you can call me more often and we can talk over the phone more often.”

7.       “The President: Well it’s very nice of you to say that. I will say that we do a lot for Ukraine. We spend a lot of effort and a lot of time. Much more than the European countries are doing and they should be helping you more than they are. Germany does almost nothing for you. All they do is talk and I think it’s something that you should really ask them about. When I was speaking to Angela Merkel she talks Ukraine, but she doesn’t do anything. A lot of the European countries are the same way so I think it’s something you want to look at but the United States has been very good to Ukraine. I wouldn’t say that it’s reciprocal necessarily because things are happening that are not good but the United States has been very very good to Ukraine.”

8.       “President Zelenskyy: Yes you are absolutely right. Not only 100%, but actually 1000% and I can tell you the following; I did talk to Angela Merkel and I did meet with her. I also met and talked with Macron and I told them that they are not doing quite as much as they need to be doing on the issues with the sanctions. They are not enforcing the sanctions. They are not working as much as they should work for Ukraine. It turns out that even though logically, the European Union should be our biggest partner but technically the United States is a much bigger partner than the European Union and I’m very grateful to you for that because the United States is doing quite a lot for Ukraine. Much more than the European Union especially when we are talking about sanctions against the Russian Federation. I would also like to thank you for your great support in the area of defense. We are ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps specifically we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.”

Much more than the European Union especially when we are talking about sanctions against the Russian Federation.” Next, he states that Ukraine is “ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps specifically we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.” No quid pro quo withholding U.S. military equipment or aid in return for corruption investigations.

9.       “The President” I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike… I guess you have one of your wealthy people … The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you’re surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible.”

10.   “President Zelenskyy: Yes it is very important for me and everything that you just mentioned earlier. For me as a President, it is very important and we are open for any future cooperation. We are ready to open a new page on cooperation in relations between the United States and Ukraine. For that purpose, I just recalled our ambassador from United States and he will be replaced by a very competent and very experienced ambassador who will work hard on making sure that our two nations are getting closer. I would also like and hope to see him having your trust and your confidence and have personal relations with you so we can cooperate even more so. I will personally tell you that one of my assistants spoke with Mr. Giuliani just recently and we are hoping very much that Mr. Giuliani will be able to travel to Ukraine and we will meet once he comes to Ukraine. I just wanted to assure you once again that you have nobody but friends round us. I will make sure that I surround myself with the best and most experienced people.

On the other hand, I believe that on September 1 we will be in Poland and we can meet in Poland hopefully. After that, it might be a very good idea for you to travel to Ukraine. We either take my plane and go to Ukraine or we can take your plane, which is probably much better than mine.

k.      NO INDICATION POTUS TRUMP withheld military aid or anything from President Zelenskyy and Ukraine in return for an investigation of corruption – including an investigation into X company and Joe Biden.

l.        In fact, President Zelenskyy says he is just about ready to buy Javelins.

m.    Both men have a low opinion of Ambassador Ivanovich.

n.      We have a mutual effort on the part of POTUS TRUMP and President Zelenskyy to work together and to reign in and eliminate corruption – and this with the help of prosecutor(s) in Ukraine and Mr. Giuliani and AG Barr – – e.g. looking into corruption including looking into Crowdstrike and Bidens with help of Giuliani and AG Barr.

o.      This phone call exonerates POTUS TRUMP completely.

Is Adam Schiff the real Charlaton and the cause of failure and suffering on the part of the democrats? Is he steering the democrats straight into the ditch? Yes. BARREL & PORK.

1. BARREL, the democrat base is now saying to Nancy Pelosi, “Get off the Adam Schiff impeachment bandwagon immediately before it is too late – before you and your party crash and burn completely – before Adam Schiff, who has become a laughing stock and an embarrassment to the democrat party, what with his clandestine hearings and violations of the rule of law, what with his refusal to allow republicans to cross examine witnesses, before Adam Schiff causes all this investigation madness to boomerang completely and further crash down on the democrat party.” See https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/schiff-trump-impeachment-liz-peek – Adam Schiff is steering the democrats straight into the ditch.

2. Yes, PORK. The thinking democrat and republican recognizes that the Russia Collusion, Russia Obstruction of Justice, Mueller Investigation, now Ukraine matter, have all turned out to be nothing burgers – a huge waste of our time and our money which they have wastefully and illegally spent accusing POTUS Trump.

3. They know the Bidens and others enriched themselves at our expense having misused their political offices.

4. They recognize that Schiff  has lied and is a Charlaton having made up words of POTUS Trump which POTUS Trump did not say.

5. They know Adam Schiff’s secret one sided star chamber interviews of hearsay witnesses have boomeranged and that such is the cause of the democrats great pain. They know Adam Schiff and his tactics designed to harm a sitting POTUS are the reason the democrats are being smacked so harshly and unmercifully.

6. I agree, BARREL.

7. We all will vote.

8. If we like POTUS Trump and respect what he has done to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS, we will vote in a few months in 2020 to give him a second term.

9. If we don’t believe he has helped us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS, we can vote not to give him a second term.

10. Until the democrats get a life, jettison Adam Schiff, and start helping us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS, there is no reason to vote for democrats while there is every reason to vote for POTUS Trump in 2020 if for no other reason than the fact that he has not used his office to enrich himself and he has honestly and with integrity kept more than 300 of his campaign promises when no other politician in history has done so.

11. Take a look at https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/pelosi-democrat-impeachment-cathy-areu and you will get another unpalatable and serious taste of how matters are turning against the democrats.

12. Also, PORK, one more time I share with you and the democrats and the world this truth. POTUS Trump is making billions of dollars bank for the media – whether you are talking about fake news or not.

13. POTUS Trump gets the credit for creating the best job economy in history.

14. POTUS Trump has helped BLACKS and HISPANICS when no one else has done so let alone the politician democrats who govern the disintegrating inner cities.

15. You watch, PORK.

16. I forecast that the media – the TV networks and the newspapers – will all turn on the democrats and favor POTUS Trump, as will BLACKS and HISPANICS. Adam Schiff is their reason to do so. They don’t need to criticize Nancy or Chuck or democrats in general. All they need do is place the blame squarely where it belongs – on Adam Schiff.

17. They all know where the butter and honey on their bread is coming from.

18. And their bread is not buttered and honeyed with or by a Buttigieg or Warren or Biden or Sanders, and especially not by Adam Schiff.

19. Given all of the promises POTUS Trump has kept to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS, it is now a proven fact that their bread is buttered and honeyed with and by POTUS Trump who has manfully endured the heavy criticism and is tweeting through all this as the media and political genius that he is.

Have Adam and Nancy and their crony democrats and republicans failed us miserably? Yes. BARREL & PORK.

1. BARREL, have Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and their crony democrats and republicans failed us miserably and in the process underestimated POTUS Trump?

2. Yes, PORK, they have and they still are failing us miserably and they are still underestimating POTUS Trump.

3. How so, BARREL?

4. PORK, Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and their crony democrats and republicans have now wasted months of their and our time and much more than $30 million of our tax money on a failed now boomeranged Russia narrative and Mueller Report and impeachment narrative, caring not one whit for us but only for themselves and their antagonism toward POTUS Trump.

5. In business, Adam and Nancy and their crony democrats and republicans would be ousted from the company for failing to build the company, wasting time, while intentionally losing $30 million plus as they have done.

6. Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and their crony democrats and republicans are not builders.

7. Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and their crony democrats and republicans have done everything to tear down and nothing to build our country.

8. They have failed us miserably. In the process they have violated their oath of office.

9. They have wasted our time and our money and our trust. They have failed to help us be free, safe, and prosperous.

10. Nancy has failed her own San Francisco district which has gone down, down, down. Who would want to visit San Francisco given its lack of attention to hygiene.

11. For her dereliction of duty, Nancy should know she is in serious danger of being outed by a smart political competitor and a thinking San Francisco electorate.

12. Likewise, Adam Schiff has done nothing of consequence to help his California district. He has wasted his time and our time and our money in this foolish vendetta against POTUS Trump.

13. In the meantime, POTUS Trump has cared for us by keeping more than 300 of his promises he made to us including building the wall (Keep in mind that the Mexican government at last note had 27000 troops on the border helping us block illegal entry to the country – Mexico is paying for a human wall.). POTUS Trump has helped all of us Americans – BLACKs and HISPANICs, JEWs and NATIVE AMERICANS, WHITEs and ASIAN AMERICANS – be free. safe. and prosperous. He is responsible for one of the best American economies and stock markets in history.

14. I’ll say it again, if Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and their crony democrats and republicans want to win elections and be of any value to us the electorate, they have got to fire the ad agencies and pr agencies and consultants and lawyers who are conning them into prolonging this impeachment garbage.

15. We are over the tipping point sick and tired of Nancy’s and Adam’s and their crony democrat and republican misguided false narratives and collusion to take down a president of the United States.

16. If they want our votes, Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and their crony democrats and republicans need to do an about face and focus on helping us be free, safe, and prosperous and stop all of this nonsense impeachment waste of money and time. That is what a thinking electorate wants and will vote for.

WHAT CAN NANCY PELOSI DO TO BE A GREAT STATESWOMAN?

PORK, HOW DO YOU THINK NANCY PELOSI CAN BE A GREAT STATESWOMAN which is much better than being a third, second, or first rate politician.

BARREL, she simply needs to stand up and:

1.       Make a short but carefully crafted speech to all congresswomen and congressmen and the nation and demand civility.

2.       Censure Adam Schiff for conducting hearings in secret and for lying about what the President said and remove him as head of the Judiciary Committee.

3.       Being unwilling to put the nation through further trauma, formally accept the Mueller report that there was no collusion or obstruction, and at the same time terminate all hint of impeachment.

4.       Set forth a three point power plan to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.

5.       Support Elizabeth Warren for President against POTUS Trump or

6.       Step in at the last moment and run for President.

Looks like Joe Biden is political toast because Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the democrats are still playing in the third rate minor leagues and have been hit with the boomerang and have stepped in it again and have egg on their faces to use multiple metaphors. BARREL & PORK.


Looks like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the democrats are still playing in the minor leagues and have boomerang stepped in it again and have egg on their faces, PORK. Only this time, POTUS TRUMP played for keeps. There is “no collusion” and “no obstruction” and “no corruption” and he is vindicated once again and Joe Biden is political toast and Warren will be the nominee. It’s a done deal.

How so, BARREL? Sounds like Nancy Pelosi is working for POTUS Trump.

She is, PORK. Instead of having her ducks in a row they are all drowning.

Senate Democrats sent a letter to Ukraine in May of 2018 leaning on Ukraine to investigate POTUS TRUMP. Read this at https://townhall.com/tipsheet/timothymeads/2019/09/25/dems-sent-letter-to-ukraine-asking-for-investigation-to-trump-n2553705

Hypocrites: Senate Dems Sent Letter Pressuring Ukraine To Investigate Trump In May 2018
  1. “If you have not learned by now, … every Conservative “scandal” in recent memory has been nothing more than leftists projecting their own personal problems onto their political opponents.
  2. “Sexism and abuse against women? Meet Bill Clinton and Harvey Weinstein.
  3. “Racism? Meet the blackface donning Gov. Ralph Northam and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
  4. [Collusion with the Russians? Meet Hillary Clinton and her cronies and collaborators.]
  5. [Obstruction of Justice? Meet Hillary and Comey and their cronies and collaborators.]
  6. “Trump pressuring Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election? Meet the Democrats in May 2018.
  7. “Yes, the very same Democrats who are now supposedly aghast that President Trump asked the president of Ukraine to look into Joe Biden’s family corruption [wherein Joe and Hunter banked $1.5 billion], 
  8. “[yes, the very same Democrats] actually sent Ukraine a letter saying “U.S. assistance” was at stake unless the Ukrainian government complied with the bogus special counsel Robert Mueller investigation and conducted their own investigation into the president and his former aid Paul Manafort.
  9. “Marc Theissen of the Washington Post brought this up yesterday, and after seeing what the president actually said to his call to the newly elected president Volodymyr Zelensky, it looks like the Democrats have nothing but egg on their face [AGAIN]. 

8. “Here’s what Theissen reported Tuesday: 

9. “It got almost no attention, but in May, CNN reported that Sens. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) and Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) wrote a letter to Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Yuriy Lutsenko, expressing concern at the closing of four investigations they said were critical to the Mueller probe.

10. “In the letter, they implied that their support for U.S. assistance to Ukraine was at stake.

11. “Describing themselves as “strong advocates for a robust and close relationship with Ukraine,” the Democratic senators declared, “We have supported [the] capacity-building process and are disappointed that some in Kyiv appear to have cast aside these [democratic] principles to avoid the ire of President Trump,” before demanding Lutsenko “reverse course and halt any efforts to impede cooperation with this important investigation.”

12. “So, it’s okay for Democratic senators to encourage Ukraine to investigate Trump, but it’s [hypocritically] not okay for the president to allegedly encourage Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden?

13. ” … The letter clearly shows they were threatening to withhold assistance unless the Ukrainian government did as they demanded. Between this uncovered letter and former Vice President Joe Biden bragging about intimidating the Ukrainian prosecutor, this whole thing is boomeranging on the Dems. Here comes Trump 2020, folks, steamrolling into the White House (again). 

14. As well, “Recommended BREAKING: President Trump’s Ukraine Call Transcript Has Been Released and Blows Up the Latest Impeachment Narrative Katie Pavlich

15. “Steve Guest✔@SteveGuest [Steve gets credit for a great note.]

16. “FLASHBACK to 2018 byYouTubing Joe Biden bragged about bribing Ukraine with $1 BILLION to fire the prosecutor who was investigating his son, Hunter Biden’s company.

If that’s not corruption, I don’t know what is, PORK.

Spot on, BARREL. Spot on.
