The Experts are still talking up how Trump is doomed…but:
The Republican National Committee (RNC) continues to bring in lots of money thanks to the House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
The RNC’s fundraising platform has brought in over $30 million in three months since it launched in June. Officials credit the impeachment inquiry.
That’s a lot of scratch…and while we can’t say for certain what it means, the fact that its happening does say that Trump and the GOP are popular somewhere in the country. Trump is already teeing up general election ads and its more than 13 months from election day…and Democrats won’t get started on a general election campaign for at least five months. You ask anyone who really does politics and if he gets to pick which situation he’s in, he’s going to pick Trump’s.
Meanwhile, our Matt takes note other another aspect of it:
Democrat Senators from red states have expressed concern that the impeachment process started by Nancy Pelosi “may spin out of control and destroy any chance their party might have of winning back the majority next year,” according to a report from The Hill. These Democrats believe that if their party doesn’t act quickly, Trump could “turn the tables on them.”
Would Manchin or, especially, Jones (who is up for re-election next year in a Trump +30 State) really vote to convict?
In case you were wondering how our liberals are dealing with things:
Recently, I went to dinner at the home of Rebecca Kee, a preschool principal in San Francisco who turned to Maddow in her depression and confusion over the 2016 election. I brought a bottle of rosé, and she poured it into glasses decorated with charms that featured Russia-investigation figures on one side and characters from “Star Trek: The Next Generation” on the other. I sipped from the Hope Hicks/Beverly Crusher glass, and we watched Maddow’s show over veggie enchiladas. “I think of her as a news doula: You know the news is going to be painful no matter what, so we might as well have someone who helps us survive it,” Kee told me. Last year, Kee had a Maddow-themed birthday party, at which her friends and her two young sons put on big black glasses and slicked their hair to the side. Also in attendance was a life-size cardboard cutout of Maddow, which is now in storage so as not to startle guests.
These people have lost it. If we don’t win next year, then we deserve every bit of what’s coming to us.
Report indicates that red meat isn’t all that bad for you – which is another “of course”. The campaign against red meat – like previous campaigns against eggs or coffee – were ridiculous efforts by various puritan scolds who got fixated on a thing and then tried to force us all to go along. The key to human diet is moderation – eat the red meat; have the cake; drink the beer…but don’t eat ten pounds of red meat a day; don’t have the whole cake; after two or three beers, ease off. We’re built – by God or Nature, take your pick – to eat pretty much everything there is. My view is that we must have a varied diet to be healthy. To tell anyone to entirely eliminate a food or heavily concentrate on only one thing seems to me rather insane.

You know how the Left keeps howling that Volker’s testimony will “sink” Trump, blahblahblah?
As usual, totally wrong. And for anyone familiar with it not just wishful thinking but a total lie.

The Daily Wire has an annoying full page ad pop up for those who don’t pay to subscribe, but it is easy to turn it off, and the articles are often very good. We do have some real journalists in this country, they are just not in the mainstream media, otherwise known as the complicit agenda media.
I am really liking the Daily Signal. Here is a long series of quotations from a recent article there: I know it is more than we usually quote, preferring a teaser and then a link, but I want to call attention to these parts of a long article:
https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/09/30/heres-how-andrew-jackson-stood-up-to-unaccountable-elites
Jackson’s militant persona allowed America to punch above its weight in foreign policy and to establish its claims as more than an afterthought in European power struggles.
Jacksonian militancy in demanding respect for the rights of American citizens and asserting America’s national interests abroad was effective in persuading foreign powers not to molest America and to respond favorably to America’s demands in trade and other deals.
Despite Jackson’s belligerence—more likely because of it—the United States was not embroiled in any major wars during Jackson’s presidency, and the country secured more trade agreements than under any previous administration.
The man America’s political establishment had called a reckless incompetent was getting things done, and his supporters cheered him on.
………………….
The Jacksonians of the early 19th century represented a distinct kind of American populism. At its best, Jacksonian democracy was a genuine and principled restoration movement that drew upon the best influences of the founding to rein in a corrupt ruling class. Both Jackson and the movement he represented were ultimately more conservative than radical.
……….
The Jacksonian creed, which resides in the American political bloodstream still, serves as a vital counterweight to the long progressive trend of the last century, whereby America’s sovereign power has been transferred from We the People to unaccountable “experts” in Washington, D.C. It is the often unacknowledged and generally maligned Jacksonian instinct that still stands in direct opposition to the centralization of power in the hands of unelected elites.
In an age when a bloated government, an unbridled administrative state staffed by an arrogant bureaucracy, and a corrupt—and increasingly anti-American—elite hold enormous power, the lessons of the Jacksonian era are more relevant than ever. We have every reason to want another Jackson, or series of Jacksons, to step in, drain the swamp, and restore the Republic.
There are so many comments relevant to what we are going through today, from militancy in demanding respect for the rights of American citizens and asserting America’s national interests abroad to The man America’s political establishment had called a reckless incompetent was getting things done, and his supporters cheered him on to The Jacksonian creed, which resides in the American political bloodstream still, serves as a vital counterweight to the long progressive trend of the last century, whereby America’s sovereign power has been transferred from We the People to unaccountable “experts” in Washington, D.C. It is the often unacknowledged and generally maligned Jacksonian instinct that still stands in direct opposition to the centralization of power in the hands of unelected elites that I think the article calls for careful reading and reflection on the lessons history can teach us, if we just pay attention.
Another article I recommend:
https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/10/03/the-gospel-of-marx-a-false-religion-explained/
From an interview with Dr. Bruce Ashford: …the Marxist ethic is utilitarian and under the Marxist system, the good is whatever helps achieve the socialist utopia. The bad is whatever hinders it. And that’s why Marxist societies have been so easily able to justify assassinations.”
And, I would add, other acts, such as character assassination, lying and strident dishonest propaganda.
………
“…you have identity politics based on identities. And I do think that identity politics defined as seeking the good of your own tribe at the expense of the common good is the death of democracy. It is a way to burn down the house that our Founding Fathers built.“
Back to the lessons history can teach us, if we just pay attention.
Hmmmmm

BOOM: Nancy Pelosi’s son Paul Pelosi Jr. (who went to Ukraine in 2017) was a board member of Viscoil and executive at its related company NRGLab, which DID ENERGY Business in UKRAINE!
And Nancy Pelosi appeared in a promotional video for the company!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1KfU5ifhqE …
YouTube @YouTube
………
Junior Pelosi’s company, Viscoil is under investigation for securities fraud. It seems as though the public management of the company, which included Paul Pelosi, Jr., as President and COO, was actually a Potemkin arrangement that hid the fact that the company was actually controlled by a pair of convicted felons.

Which is what I have been saying all along—it was dropping that word CROWDSTRIKE into the conversation that was the spark that lit the fuse on the Panic Bomb—so much so that sacrificing Joe Biden was worth it if attention could be diverted from the DNC / Ukrainian collusion and crime stories.
I will defend my rights against all enemies, both foreign and Democrat.
Going soon to pick up some more freedom firecrackers.
