House Democrats vote to adopt Trump
impeachment report, blast scheme to
'solicit foreign interference' in 2020 race
By Ronn Blitzer and Gregg Re
{ foxnews.com } ~ The Democrat-led House Intelligence Committee late Tuesday voted to adopt and issue its scathing report on the findings from the panel's impeachment inquiry... accusing President Trump of misusing his office to seek foreign help in the 2020 presidential race. The 13-9 party-line vote on the 300-page report was a necessary step before it could be transferred to the House Judiciary Committee, which is scheduled to begin taking up the case with its first formal impeachment hearing Wednesday morning. However, a senior member of Democratic House Speaker liar-Nancy Pelosi's leadership team told Fox News in the evening that it seems unlikely the House can vote on impeachment before Christmas, saying it's "too complex" a process." President Trump’s scheme subverted U.S. foreign policy toward Ukraine and undermined our national security in favor of two politically motivated investigations that would help his presidential reelection campaign," the Democrats' report said. It asserted the inquiry "uncovered a months-long effort by President Trump to use the powers of his office to solicit foreign interference on his behalf in the 2020 election." White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham swiftly hit back in a statement slamming the nature of the Intelligence Committee's inquiry and claiming it failed to prove any wrongdoing on Trump's part. “At the end of a one-sided sham process, Chairman scumbag/liar-Schiff and the Democrats utterly failed to produce any evidence of wrongdoing by President Trump,” Grisham said. "This report reflects nothing more than their frustrations. Chairman scumbag/liar-Schiff’s report reads like the ramblings of a basement blogger straining to prove something when there is evidence of nothing.” The Intelligence Committee, led by Chairman scumbag/liar-Adam Schiff, D-Calif., conducted extensive interviews with witnesses connected to the Trump administration’s relationship with Ukraine, after an anonymous whistleblower filed a complaint alleging that during a July 25 phone call, Trump tried to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to help Rudy Giuliani investigate Democratic activities in 2016 as well as former vice president loose lips liar-Joe Biden and his son Hunter." The President engaged in this course of conduct for the benefit of his own presidential reelection, to harm the election prospects of a political rival, and to influence our nation’s upcoming presidential election to his advantage," the report said. "In doing so, the President placed his own personal and political interests above the national interests of the United States, sought to undermine the integrity of the U.S. presidential election process, and endangered U.S. national security."... Why are these dems in congress they have no idea or understanding of what the rule of law is.
Nunes sues CNN over
'demonstrably false' Ukraine report
by Byron York
{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Rep. Devin Nunes, the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, has filed a $435 million defamation suit against CNN over a story that alleged Nunes met with a fired Ukrainian prosecutor... in an effort to dig up dirt on Democratic presidential candidate loose lips liar-Joe Biden. The story — "Giuliani associate willing to tell Congress Nunes met with ex-Ukrainian official to get dirt on loose lips liar-Biden" — was published Nov. 22. It was based on the words of Joseph Bondy, the attorney for Ukrainian-born Lev Parnas, who worked closely with Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani in pursuing allegations of Ukrainian efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election as well as allegations of corruption in Ukraine involving loose lips liar-Biden's son Hunter. Parnas is currently under indictment on campaign finance charges. CNN reported that Bondy said Parnas was "willing to tell Congress" that in December 2018, Nunes traveled to Vienna to meet with Viktor Shokin, the top Ukrainian prosecutor who was famously fired in 2016 under pressure from the United States, represented by loose lips liar-Biden, who said Shokin did not do enough to prosecute corruption in Ukraine. CNN cited congressional travel records showing Nunes and a few aides traveled to Europe between Nov. 30 and Dec. 3, 2018. Quoting Bondy, the CNN report said, "Mr. Parnas learned from former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Victor Shokin that Nunes had met with Shokin in Vienna last December." Shortly after the report was published, Nunes said it was "demonstrably false" but declined to elaborate. In the lawsuit, Nunes has provided the details. Nunes did travel between Nov. 30 and Dec. 3. The lawsuit says that on those dates, Nunes was in Libya and Malta. Nunes traveled to Libya to "discuss security issues with General Khalifa Haftar," the suit says. In Malta, Nunes "met with U.S. and Maltese officials, including Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, and participated in a repatriation ceremony for the remains of an American World War II soldier missing in action," according to the suit.The lawsuit provides photos of Nunes with Haftar, with Muscat, and at the repatriation ceremony... https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/nunes-sues-cnn-over-demonstrably-false-ukraine-report?utm_source=breaking_push&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=push_notifications&utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_12/03/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News&rid=5261 .
The Amnesia of Samantha Power
by SCOTT MCKAY
{ spectator.org } ~ Some members of Congress believe that the time has come to ratchet up sanctions on Iran. They argue that this is the most effective way to achieve the goal of getting Iran to give up its nuclear program... We in the administration believe that, at this time, increasing sanctions would dramatically undermine our efforts to reach this shared goal.” That’s what Samantha Power, who held the position of UN ambassador during the scumbag/liar-nObama administration, said in a 2015 congressional hearing amid debate about whether or not to impose sanctions on the theocratic Iranian regime. That regime had, after all, just six years earlier conducted a series of massacres of its own people for the sin of demanding a better government and more human rights. That administration then negotiated a largely secret nuclear arms deal with the Iranian regime, complete with shipping that regime some $150 billion in pallets of cash with zero controls on what the money could be used for, and never bothered submitting that deal to Congress. Shortly after Donald Trump took office in January of 2017, amid what appears to be a full-on campaign of sabotage of his presidency including the illegal unmasking of American citizens caught on FISA wiretaps, which included some fairly definitive participation by one Samantha Power in that activity, the scumbag/liar-nObama Iran deal was canceled. And when it was, this was what Samantha Power said: Trump has demolished America’s credibility & paved the way for Iran to re-start its nuclear program. Trump has done the unthinkable: isolated the US & rallied the world around Iran. It’s since been proven that Iran never stopped its nuclear program, and the Iranians have stepped up efforts, unsuccessfully, to provoke a war with the United States as those sanctions strangle their economy. Unsurprisingly, amid a far more successful application of pressure in this administration than that Power and scumbag/liar-nObama managed, the Iranian citizens are once again demanding a better government and more human rights. And also unsurprisingly, the Iranian regime Power and scumbag/liar-nObama thought was worth airdropping $150 billion on has resorted to violence and suppression in response. This greatly offends Samantha Power: Everyone must hear about this. Every outlet in the world should publicize how the murderous Iranian regime is mowing down protesters. Yes, Samantha. We know. We knew 10 years ago when the administration you worked in sat on your hands and did nothing when Iranians took to the streets to reclaim their freedom and dignity from an enemy, rogue regime that had been in a declared state of war with the United States since 1979 and committed countless acts of war against us....
Trey Gowdy explains why Americans
don't care about the impeachment hearings
by Carlos Garcia
{ theblaze.com } ~ Former congressman Trey Gowdy angrily denounced the Democrats for what he saw as hypocritical outrage over complaints from the FBI agent who resigned after her anti-Trump texts were uncovered... He made the comments to Martha MacCallum on her Fox News show Monday evening. Gowdy was responding to Lisa Page complaining that she was made a scapegoat over her texts to former FBI official Peter Strzok that were critical of President Donald Trump. "The broader point is this. Keep in mind, Strzok and Page, and the Democrat and the DC media's argument is, 'yeah they were biased, yeah they said terrible things, but it had no impact on the outcome.' In other words, Trump was treated fairly in the end," said Gowdy. "Now contrast that with what Trump's gone through with impeachment," he said. "Now the Democrats are saying even though there were no investigations of the server or the loose lips liar-Bidens, and even though the aid was released, they're now hyper-focused on the process!" Gowdy continued. "It's the phone call! That's all that matters!" he exclaimed. "So to Democrats, all's well that end's well if it's Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, but if you get the aid and there's no investigation, that's not enough, it still may be impeachable just because we didn't like your process," Gowdy said. "That's duplicity, it's a double standard, and that's why the American people, I think, are completely unmoved thus far by the impeachment hearings of Chairman Rep. scumbag/liar-Adam Schiff (D-Calif.)," he concluded. Gowdy could have been referring to polling that has shown support for impeachment waning among Americans as the impeachment inquiry dragged on....
scumbag/liar-Schiff hired former colleague
of alleged whistleblower Eric Ciaramella
the day after Trump-Ukraine call
by Kerry Picket
{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ House Intelligence Committee Chairman scumbag/liar-Adam Schiff hired a former National Security Council aide who worked with alleged Ukraine whistleblower Eric Ciaramella... at the NSC during the scumbag/liar-nObama and Trump administrations the day after the phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. It was previously reported by the Washington Examiner that public records indicated Sean Misko, 37, started work on scumbag/liar-Schiff’s committee in August as a professional staff member. A specific start date was not available until this week when the latest congressional quarterly disbursements were released. The new records show that Misko’s official hire date was July 26. Misko was the director for the Gulf States at the NSC between 2015 until the first half of 2018. The Washington Examiner has established that the whistleblower is a CIA officer who was on the NSC during the scumbag/liar-nObama administration and worked on Ukrainian issues with loose lips liar-Joe Biden, the 2020 Democratic candidate, when he was vice president. Ciaramella, 33, is a career CIA analyst and was the Ukraine director on the NSC from 2016 until the summer of 2017. In October 2016, he was loose lips liar-Biden's guest at a State Department banquet. Before joining the NSC, Misko worked in the scumbag/liar-nObama administration at the State Department for deputy chief of staff Jake Sullivan, who went on to become scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton's senior foreign policy adviser during her 2016 presidential campaign. Both Ciaramella and Misko started their tenures during the scumbag/liar-nObama administration and left during the first year of the Trump administration. The Washington Examiner was told by a former senior White House official that both had a close, “bro-like” relationship while working at the NSC together... https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/schiff-hired-former-nsc-colleague-of-alleged-whistleblower-eric-ciaramella-the-day-after-trumps-ukraine-call?utm_source=breaking_push&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=push_notifications&utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_12/03/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief&rid=5261 .

Dearth of Babies
Tom McLaughlin
{ tommclaughlin.blogspot.com} ~ There are jobs for anyone who wants to work here in Maine but nearly every small contractor and small business person I hear from tells me they cannot find enough help. It’s true in western Maine and in the Portland area as well. South Portland’s famous Scratch Bakery recently opened a branch facility in a converted gas station down the street from our South Portland home. Called "The Toast Bar," it was packed with customers. Then, suddenly, it closed.
Due to an acute ongoing staffing shortage, we’ve reluctantly hit the “pause button” here at BDR. We are not closing. We have a beautiful restaurant, a wonderful location, and fantastic guests. Our business is sound. All of our employees and vendors are paid. We are simply pausing restaurant service operations until proper staffing levels can be achieved…
Although most would deny it, open borders is now the Democrat’s second most important issue. Every 2020 Democrat presidential candidate claims getting rid of President Trump is their biggest goal, but then what have Trump’s priorities been? Appointing conservative pro-life judges and stopping illegal immigration are highest on his agenda. That’s what got him elected and if present trends continue, those issues may well propel him into another term.
