The Democratic Party in Iowa was totally humiliated last night. Every network was fully staffed to break the big story. None of them could get any information at all. Normally, there would be at least some information. It might be limited to exit polls or limited result from some locations, but in this case there was absolutely nothing. The theory is that this was all caused by some $60,000 smart phone application. But, that theory doesn’t hold water. There was clearly something else going on. I suspect that a least some people in the DNC headquarters were getting reports. They actually admitted that, but said they were holding off reporting until they performed data integrity. I don’t believe them. This was too humiliating for Democrats and too helpful for Donald Trump. They had to know that. Yet, they considered this a better alternative than reporting the actual results. I believe that what really happened was that Joe Biden was coming in 4^th or lower. If all the news outlets had reported Biden coming in 4^th or lower last night, it would have ended his campaign. I think the DNC called an audible and decided that a delay of game was necessary to keep Biden from total collapse.

The results are finally starting to come in and Biden is in distance 4^th, barely ahead of Klobuchar. But, the delay of game strategy means that Biden can just disregard Iowa and try to hang on until South Carolina. The theory is that the black vote in South Carolina may keep Biden in the race, at least for a while. I don’t think anyone really thinks Biden has a real chance, but at a minimum they need him to slow down Bernie until after Super Tuesday. Otherwise, it will be Bernie against nobody and for all his faults, Bernie is somebody. You can’t beat somebody with nobody.

This is hard to predict, but right now Bernie is the only candidate with even a potential path to the nomination. I suspect Democrats are just desperately trying to prevent Bernie from becoming inevitable, so they can broker something at the DNC convention. Odds are that will work about as well as the DNC counted votes last night in Iowa.

I recently went to see “The Play That Went Wrong.” It was described as a comedy, but would probably be more accurately described as a total farce. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong resulting in loud laughter from the audience.  The real skill was displayed by actors pretending that they were trying to be serious.

On the way home from the play, it suddenly dawned on me that this script was remarkably similar to the impeachment trial. The primary difference being that the actors in this play knew it was a farce, the Democratic House managers are equally absurd, but they appear to be oblivious to that.

There could have been no more appropriate ending to the House presentation than what actually happened. Adam Schiff stood up and prepared to give his well-rehearsed moving and eloquent recitation of previous discredited arguments. There was significant risk that Schiff, would again, resort to inventing things or deliberately misrepresenting facts. We may even have been treated to another tearful sermon begging people to buy Schiff’s delusional version of reality. But, Schiff didn’t get his chance at glory, because Jerry Nadler, one of the few people on this planet with less credibility that Schiff, jumped to his feet and speed waddled past Schiff to the microphone, while Schiff was hissing: “Jerry, Jerry, Jerry in a failed attempt to save the day.

In addition, Hakeem Jeffries managed to say something so stupid that he made both Nadler and Schiff look brilliant in comparison. Jeffries chose to answer this question:

“Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee hired a retired foreign spy to work with Russian contacts to build a dossier of opposition research against her political opponent, Donald Trump. Under the House managers’ standard would the dossier be considered as foreign interference in a U.S. election, a violation of the law, and/or an impeachable offense?”

Jeffries responded by admitting that the Hillary Clinton campaign did this, but he said it was an improper analogy:

“The analogy is not applicable to the present situation because first, to the extent that opposition research was obtained, it was opposition research that was purchased,”

In other words, Jeffries admitted this was true, but because Hillary paid for this, it was OK.

While the MSM, predictably, continues to slam Trump and praise the Schiff team, they are no longer pretending that the House manager made their case. It is increasingly obvious that no matter how passionately Schiff and Co plead, no new witnesses will be called. It is also clear that President Trump will be acquitted and he is far more likely to get Democratic votes for acquittal than he is to get Republican votes for conviction.

Democrats and the MSM are hoping that the American people watching this are too stupid to recognize that the entire Democratic case is an absolute farce. They will probably be right, with regard to a lot of people, but it I strongly believe that most people can and will recognize the truth. Unless something major develops between now and November, this is likely to go down as one of the worst political blunders in our nations’ history.

The House Managers have totally botched the impeachment trial. Democratic senators are a lot of things, but most of them are not stupid. Many of them are highly skilled attorneys. They know that Schiff failed to make the case and they also know this will soon become obvious. The smart ones already know they have lost and are looking for the least painful exit. No one is even pretending that this will result in Trump’s removal from office. The Schiff show is almost over and the response by Trump’s attorneys is likely to be epic.

Schiff built his entire case around an assumption he cannot prove and for which he has no evidence. Schiff has repeatedly said that there was no explanation for investigating Joe Biden other than to interfere in the 2020 election.  He claims that all of the allegations regarding Biden have been discredited as a conspiracy theory. He offered no evidence to support that claim. In doing this, he made Joe Biden a centerpiece of the impeachment trial. Joe Biden is unlikely to be called as a witness, but he is definitely a person of interest.

It is indisputable that Joe Biden personally demanded Ukraine fire a specific prosecutor, within six hours, or he would withhold $1 billion in aid. He even admitted that Ukraine questioned whether he had the authority to do that. Biden scornfully told them he had exactly that authority. A billboard in Time’s Square is now playing a loop of this video.

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jan/23/joe-biden-hit-times-square-billboard-ukraine-deals/

It is also indisputable that Hunter Biden was appointed to board of Burisma and was paid big bucks. It is indisputable that Burisma was considered to be hopelessly corrupt. Several witnesses called by Democrats in the House admitted that. This means the only real question is why was Hunter Biden appointed to this position? So far, I have yet to hear a good answer to that question.

Democrats also made Rudy Giuliani a focus point of this trial. They even quoted John Bolton referring to Giuliani as a “hand grenade.” That actually may be quite accurate. But a hand grenade can be a pretty effective weapon. Rudy has been strangely silence recently, probably because he knew that anything he said or did would have been used by Democrats in the impeachment trial. But, they are about to rest, that makes it much easier for Giuliani to speak up. He has already started doing that with an appearance on Fox and Friends. Either Giuliani is delusional, or he has a lot of evidence regarding corruption by Biden and others in the Ukraine.

Ted Cruz is one of the smartest attorney’s in congress. Here is what he said:

House Democrats perhaps unintentionally threw Joe Biden under the bus..(Trump attys) are going to have the opportunity to present..evidence ..that supports a serious investigation into..whether Joe Biden participated in that corruption.. (with Burisma)

The Democratic presentation also made a huge mistake by letting Nadler off his leash. Lisa Murkowski, who Democrats were counting on to cross over the aisle, is livid because Nadler basically said Republican Senators were part of a cover-up:

“I see a lot of senators voting for a cover-up, voting to deny witnesses, an absolutely indefensible vote, obviously a treacherous vote,”

Here is what she said to Alaska Public Media:

“I took it as very offensive,” Murkowski told reporters in the basement of the Senate Wednesday afternoon. “As one who is listening attentively and working hard to get to a fair process, I was offended.” 

Democrats called the furor over Nadler’s idiotic comments as a distraction. However, none of them even attempted to defend his remarks. Democrats desperately needed help from Republicans like Murkowski to even get this trial extended beyond the initial presentations. They needed those witnesses. They already lost that battle. If they have lost people like Murkowski, they have lost the war.

The Democratic attempt to impeach Trump was always destined to fail. But, when they were trying this in the MSM, they had an opportunity to sell a lot of people on a false and patently absurd narrative. Voting to forward articles of impeachment to the Senate was a huge tactical error. It made Democrats present their case first and it allows Trump’s legal team equal opportunity to respond. That gave a huge advantage to Trump’s legal team. Trump’s team knows all the evidence that Democrats have accumulated and they know all of their arguments. Democrats do not know what evidence the Trump team has accumulated and they don’t really know how Republicans will conduct their defense.

I actually have a lot of experience in litigation since I am frequently retained as a litigation consultant and expert witness. From this perspective, it looks like the Democrats have made an enormous blunder and that is about to become obvious to everyone. Watch for the same pundits in the MSM who are singing the praises of Adam Schiff turn on him when they realize how badly he has mismanaged this. Quite simply, if your quarterback starts throwing interceptions that turn into a pick six, the cheers quickly morph into loud boos.

One final note. There is a report that over 1,000 Republicans are at least considering running for congress against an incumbent Democrat. They are doing this because they see the potential for a once in a life time opportunity to flip a congressional seat.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/impeachment-drives-1-000-gop-candidates-to-run-for-house

“According to Minnesota Rep. Tom Emmer, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, impeachment has helped to push about 1,000 Republicans to file to run for House seats this year.

In an interview, he said that impeachment “intensity” has raised the overall political intensity to an Election Day level, and Republicans are responding, giving him an incumbent or challenger candidate in 384 of 435 House districts, nearly 40 above expectations at this stage of the year.”

The following story is true, but I have withheld the name(s) to protect the (not) innocent. The story takes place on a cold winter night. A relative is visiting from out of state. This relative brought along his hunting dog, which was an outdoor dog. The dog was chained up to the doghouse, but he was not happy. He started barking his head off. This, of course, annoyed the heck out of everyone else. Finally, the owner of the house yelled at the guest and said: “Shut that dog up!” I don’t know what he expected to happen, but I do know what did happen.  A few minutes later he heard a loud bang and then silence. He went to the back door and there was the guest, holding a shotgun, pointed at a very dead hunting dog.

I am not pretending that this was the right thing to do or even remotely acceptable. It was, however, undoubtedly effective.

It reminds me of another friend. They had a very nice couch, but the back of it had been clawed up by their cat. What happened was that they caught their new cat scratching the couch. The man of the house got angry, picked up the cat and shoved it out the door. For the next 13 years, every time that cat wanted to go outside it started clawing the couch.

If Schumer had handled this like an adult, he might have just gotten a couple of the usual suspect RINO Republicans to cross over party lines. That opportunity is gone. When Schumer didn’t get his way, he sent out Adam Schiff to drone on over and over for hours. Every time it looked like there was some hope of progress, Schumer introduced another “amendment” while promising to keep this up indefinitely. This will backfire big time on Schumer because instead of looking like the only adult in the room, he looks more like the spoiled brat stomping his feet and throwing a hissy fit.

In the meantime, both Republican and Democratic senators are trapped in their senate chairs, without even a cell phone to provide distraction, limited to drinking water (or milk) and begging the Republican senator from Pennsylvania for candy.  Trust me on this, every Senator in that room has already changed their value systems. We can guarantee that all of them are sick of this. At some point this is like watching an NFL game broadcast by Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. Eventually, your choice is reduced to throwing something at the TV or hitting the mute button. One thing you don’t do is willingly subject yourself to this in the future.

This cannot continue for very long. Someone is going to pay a high price to getting this wrong. Right now, I would bet that the big winner (loser) will be a tie between Adam Schiff and Chuck Schumer.

I still remember the “Spy vs Spy” cartoons in Mad Magazine when I was growing up.  One was dressed in white and the other in black, but otherwise they were identical. They were famous for playing dirty tricks on each other.

The impeachment trial is starting to look like a Spy vs Spy remake. Over the weekend, Democrats tried to pour gas on the impeachment fire with Lev Parnas. He has been spouting wild conspiracy nonsense on CNN and MSNBC and they have been lapping it up like a dog. The only thing certain is that anyone would be a fool to trust this guy. Before taking this too seriously, a lot of people knew about him last fall and even Adam Schiff wasn’t interested in interviewing him. When you fail to pass the smell test with Schiff, well, it doesn’t get any worse than that.

But Spy vs Spy taught us that two can play this game. Tomorrow, Sean Hannity is going to introduce a new book by Peter Schweizer. He is the one who wrote “Clinton Cash” about the Clinton Foundation. His new book is apparently over 1,000 pages and includes multiple sources. He allegedly details corruption by Joe Biden and a cast of thousands, including Harris, Warren, Sanders, Booker, Klobuchar, Garcetti and other Democrats. The usual suspects are trying, and failing, to stop this book from being released. It won’t work. Amazon is calling this the most anticipated non-fiction book ever. It has already hit #1 on Amazon, and it hasn’t even been released yet.

Normally the MSM would just ignore this book, as they did Clinton Cash. But, there’s the rub. You can’t go all ape over someone as pathetic as Lev Parnas and demand his narrative be included in the impeachment fiasco without opening the door for someone like Peter Schweizer.

I am taking his book, like other similar books with a huge grain of salt. As a rule of thumb, anything that seems too good (or bad, depending on your perspective) to be true, actually is unlikely to be true. The world is just never quite that neat.

This time the MSM cannot just ignore Peter Schweizer’s new book because their coverage of Lev Parnas made that impossible. This is the Senate, not the Schiff show, so one must consider what Parnas is saying, it will be impossible to avoid considering what Schweizer has to say. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter who is more credible, although Schweizer does appear to have documented sources. What matters is that it is beyond obvious that the things Biden and his son Hunter did are at least worth investigating. If, there was reasonable cause to investigate these two, the impeachment trial is OVER.

Democrats entire case is built on the assumption that this was to help Trump win re-election. But that assumes Trump was afraid of Joe Biden as an opponent and that seems unlikely. One could argue that Joe Biden would be the perfect foil for Donald Trump next fall.

It is increasingly like that Democrats, like the stars in Spy vs Spy, have ended up only ensnaring themselves. They can’t afford to call the witnesses that Chuck Schumer pretends to want without letting Trump call people too. Democrats had the total playing field to themselves during the House investigation. If they couldn’t get it done there, why would anyone think it would be different in the Senate? Logically, any “new” information is far more likely to hurt Democrats than Trump. In addition, Schiff is about to be challenged by people who are ready, willing and able to take him on. So far, he has shown zero capacity to handle that kind of pressure. He has already been caught telling numerous lies and make outrageous charges with zero supporting evidence.

Remember this. Democrats get 24 hours over two days to make their case. This is likely to be their high-water mark. After that, things can only go down hill and my prediction is that the speed at which their case is destroyed will stun the world.

President Trump has named the seven members of his legal team: Pat Cipillono, Jay Sekulow, Kenneth Starr, Alan Dershowitz, Robert Ray, Pam Bondi and Jane Raskin. So, in addition to his personal legal team, he has added two former independent counsels, one of the most dangerous constitutional attorneys in U.S. history, the former Attorney General of Florida and the woman who helped him deal with the Mueller investigation.

This begs the question: “How on earth can a list of such lightweight attorneys hope to compete with people the caliber of Adam Schiff and Jerrold Nadler?”

The leaders in Iran are learning something the hard way. As Abraham Lincoln said:

“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.”

A lot of the people in Iran, including State Media news anchors, suspected (knew) that the administration has been repeatedly lying to them for years. But the shoot down of that Ukrainian Airliner made it impossible to ignore this anymore. The problem is that the administration started out by denying that Iran had shot down that Ukrainian airliner. Then they got caught literally trying to bulldozer the evidence away. Finally, when the truth was too obvious to ignore, the administration admitted at least that yes, they had shot down that plane. It permanently exposed the administration as being untrustworthy.

Although the liberal media routinely accuses Trump of being a pathological liar, there is actually no evidence of that. The liberal left confuses gloating and exaggeration with lying. In reality every politician does some of this. The same people who accuse Trump of doing this routinely do the same thing themselves.

But now the Senate Trial is about to begin and there is a real potential that Democratic lies will be exposed in the worst possible way. This is guaranteed to be must-watch TV, at least during the first couple of days. For the first time, Republicans can and will fight back. This will be led by Jay Cipollono  and Jay Sekulow. Both are brilliant attorneys. None of the House Managers are remotely capable of competing with either of them. In addition, Democrats still have zero facts to back their accusations and in at least some cases, these are totally discredited.

One thing will soon become more than obvious. Either the people defending Trump are delusional and have been deliberately lying to us or the people attacking Trump are delusional and have been deliberately lying to us. There is no middle ground here. In addition, even if Trump’s accusers prove every single accusation, they still don’t have grounds for impeachment.

My prediction is that once this trial starts it is likely to be Democrats and liberal TV anchors desperately looking for an exit strategy. The most serious problem is that nothing Trump has done is even arguably a crime. Even if everything they said about him was true, it still wouldn’t be a crime.

We can be sure that a lot of people, like Joe diGenova and Rudy Giuliani were pushing Ukraine to investigate Biden. But there is an old saying, “just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean people are not really out to get you.” Just because people were investigating Joe Biden, does not mean he is not guilty of corruption.

This case is, finally, going to trial and people are sick and tired of the nonsense. It is time to tee it up. Either Schiff has the facts and he can make the case or he doesn’t. When you try to remove a President of the United States from office, you need to have your “Schiff” together. Does anyone really think that is remotely possible? There is only one person less qualified than Adam Schiff to take on this assignment and that is Jerrold Nadler.

Democrats should be terrified. I believe they are terrified. That is why their supporters in the MSM are desperately trying to litigate this case in the media. It is why Schumer and Pelosi are pleading for additional witnesses. It is why Cipollono and Sekulow are not bothering to talk to the press, or anyone else. They are preparing for trial. So is John Roberts, and he will definitely play this by the book. There is little evidence either Schiff or Nadler have even read the book.

We are about to experience a world changing event. We better all pray that truth and justice prevail, because the alternative is unspeakable.

I am ambivalent about the Royal Family in the first place. The Netflix series about them is interesting, but this is obviously a very British thing. I often wonder why all the bother. One of the problems is that each generation seems to produce another “royal” who turns out to be a royal pain in the butt.

Previously it was the Duke of Windsor, who married an American divorcee, renounced the Crown and then cuddled up with Hitler. There is even a documentary about that called the “Nazi King.” Nice.

Then we had Princess Margaret who led a challenging personal life. She also made the Hollywood tour with very similar results. Even Prince Charles generated a lot of grief with his marriage to and divorce from Princess Diana. In fact, until very recently, he seemed to be the worst possible choice to replace Queen Elizabeth.

Well Bonnie Prince Charles has been redeemed, by the lethal combination of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. While they gladly live the life of royalty, funded by Prince Charles and taxpayers in the UK, they apparently feel somehow above it all. I guess this is what happens when you add in the obvious mental deficiencies from centuries of inbreeding with fresh delusional left wing progressive Hollywood elitism. They have elevated narcissism to a whole new level.

The result is actually fun to watch. Talk about a couple wanting to have it both ways, these clowns take the crown (pun intended). They desperately want the royal money, just none of the responsibilities that go with it. This, of course, is fueled by a MSM that glorifies people for being famous with little or no regard to accomplishment or even the hint of actual character. Sadly, they are likely to make more money, saying silly things to silly people for big bucks than they currently make for being a royal disaster. But at least we could do away with the “Your Royal Highness” crap. In addition, while royalty seems to last a life time, celebrity status does not.

There is also one thing about true royals. They are surrounded by pictures and memorials of dead people. More specifically dead Kings and Queens who also had the world at their feet, until a higher power pulled the plug. At some point, royalty turns out to be just as human as everyone else and they suffer the same fate.

Prince Charles, by the way, is starting to look good by comparison. He has threatened to cut Harry and Meghan off, just like he is cutting off other royal parasites. The result is that Britain will still have the Royal family, maybe, but at least there will be less of them. I am still stunned that Prince Charles has ended up being one of the more rational and reasonable members of the Royal family. If only someone explained the truth about the global warming myth so he can cut down on using precious jet fuel to attend celebrity endorsed climate change group hugs.

In most countries, royalty not only ends up on the street, in places like Russia and France they end up dead. At some point the UK will follow a similar path and the royal family would be wise to develop an exit strategy that avoids a similar fate. Queen Elizabeth clearly knows that. So does Prince Charles and Prince William. Prince Harry, not so much. I wonder, has anyone ever asked for DNA test to see if Prince Charles is even the dad? It is bad enough to be done in by a royal pain in the butt, but to be done in by a royal imposter would definitely be worse.

Everyone knew that President Trump ordered the drone attack that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani. We also know that Mike Lee and others were furious because they were not given the classified information that was used to make that decision. Mike Pence put this in perspective. He told Savannah Guthrie that they could not share with Congress some of the “most compelling” intelligence behind the administration’s decision to kill Soleimani because doing so “could compromise sources and methods.”

Perhaps to put this in perspective, it is important to note that the same briefing given to the Senate was given to the House. That obviously included the “gang of eight.” These are the eight members of congress who are allowed access to classified information because of their superior position. The standard for people appointed to such positions is that they have the character to put the country above partisan politics. How else could anyone possibly trust them with access to such information?

The members of the gang of eight are:

United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence:  Adam Schiff, Devin Nunes

United States Select Committee on Intelligence: Richard Burr, Mark Warner

Leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives: Nancy Pelosi, Kevin McCarthy

Leadership in the United States Senate: Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer

The real problem is that Democrats have appointed people to position of power who simply cannot be trusted. Is there anyone in either party who really thinks Adam Schiff can be trusted? While one could argue that Pelosi and Schumer, although highly partisan, would protect classified information, few could say the same about Adam Schiff. He is notorious for leaking classified information and for deliberate lies and misrepresentation. Any President would be insane to trust him.

Hence the problem, if you can’t brief Adam Schiff, you can’t brief anyone. While Rand Paul and Mike Lee probably could be trusted, they are not the only ones in the room.

There is also something else. The speed at which the U.S. moved to find and take action against Soleimani is incredible. He knew he was a target and odds are his whereabouts was one of the most closely kept secrets in Iran. It would be naïve to assume that some great new facial recognition software made this possible. For one thing, it is unlikely that this could have been done in time to take any action. The intelligence that allowed the U.S. to take out Soleimani had to be very special. In addition, while CNN and MSNBC thought Iran had launched World War III, it is clear that the Trump administration knew better. The United States not only knew when to send all those airmen to bunkers, they knew, in advance, that this was not a serious threat.

In contrast, Iran was clearly terrified about the U.S. response, which is why they apparently shot down a civilian airliner by mistake. It would be foolish to underestimate the importance of the intelligence involved. I can’t imagine anything that would be more vital to protect. It is too bad that so many of our congressional representatives, on both sides of the aisle, are having trouble understanding this.

Many people remember one scene line from “A Few Good Men.” It was delivered by Jack Nicholson.

“You can’t handle the truth! …Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.”

In the movie, the hero is Lt. Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) who succeeds in getting Col Nathan R. Jessep (Jack Nicholson) arrested. But in the real world, people relate a lot more to Col Jessep than they did Lt. Kaffee.

His quote rings equally true today. A lot of people can’t handle the truth. When we are truly threatened, we don’t want someone like Lt. Kaffee we want a Colonel Jessep. If someone is coming after you with a gun, you probably won’t call a priest, you will call the police. If you’re very lucky, they will get there in time.

The threat from Iran is beyond obvious. Even Mayor worthless from New York recognized the threat and took action. At some point, someone or something will have to change or Iran will definitely trigger a war. Some people never learn from history. France and the UK tried to appease Hitler. The result was beyond catastrophic. Incredibly many people still want to appease Iran, apparently obviously to the cost of confronting Iran after they have a nuclear weapon. This is not a new concept. In 2014 Ted Cruz warned about this by repeatedly saying: “If someone says they’re going to kill you, you should believe them.”

Trump has been confronting Iran with sanctions. He is now confronting them militarily. It would be better for everyone, liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican if Iran believes him. The most dangerous thing anyone could do right now is to undermine Donald Trump. Yet, that is exactly what Nancy Pelosi and many other Democrats want to do. They want to pass legislation that will prevent Donald Trump from defending us. They want him to seek permission from Democrats in congress. That would be people like Pelosi,Omar, AOC and Adam Schiff. I do not think they will succeed. I am frankly embarrassed, as an American that they would even try.

When Iran launched those ballistic missiles into Iraq, the MSM immediately predicted that Trump would over-react and start another unnecessary war. Then, Trump didn’t even speak last night. Soon it became obvious that this attack didn’t actually cause much damage. In addition, Iran warned Iraq, knowing that Iraq would warn the U.S. Clearly it was Iran looking for a way to de-escalate. Trump did speak today, he looked strong and presidential. He looked in control and he looked like exactly the man you want on that wall.

Democrats went to sleep with visions of Iran attacking us and someone like Mayor Pete, Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, or Bernie Sanders, not standing on that wall, but rather shivering in fear huddled down in an underground bunker trying to get approval from Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi to fight back. Sweet dreams.
