An Historic Day - In Many, Many Ways . . .

President Trump’s legal team wrapped up its case against House Democrats’ dangerous and weak Articles of Impeachment today, telling senators they should leave the right of choosing a President to the American people. “What they are asking you to do is to throw out a successful president on the eve of an election with no basis and in violation of the Constitution,” White House Counsel Pat Cipollone said. “It would . . . weaken, weaken forever all of our democratic institutions.”  WATCH: Democrats in their own words, circa 1998 The first partisan impeachment in U.S. history came with a lot of bluster and distractions from Democrats and the media. Here are the 10 things that really matter:  Democrats aren’t just trying to remove President Trump from office—they want to remove him from the ballot. Their Articles of Impeachment would bar him from holding “any Office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.”   Investigating corruption in Ukraine, including potential conflicts of interest involving Hunter Biden and Burisma, is not “baseless,” as Democrats claim. Even the Obama State Department had concerns. So did ABC News and others.   House Democrats’ sham investigation was unauthorized and unconstitutional. A President defending his due-process rights is called separation of powers, not “Obstruction of Congress.” For Democrats, impeachment was always a goal in search of an excuse. Once the Russia collusion hoax failed, they found another excuse within months. Speaker Nancy Pelosi called impeachment a matter of “urgent” national security. Then she followed the fastest impeachment in history with the longest delay. Under House Democrats’ new bar for impeachment, at least 20 former Presidentswould’ve been removed from office, including George Washington. Rep. Adam Schiff wants the Senate to do the House’s job for it and investigate. The House didn’t even bother to subpoena witnesses such as former National Security Adviser John Bolton that they now claim are crucial to hear. Even Democrats’ own called witnesses testified that President Trump’s policy of lethal defense aid toward Ukraine is stronger than under President Obama. The do-nothing Democrats keep putting politics first and the American people second. But President Trump is working hard and keeping his promises. You don’t need to listen to secondhand sources: You can read the transcript! “All you need in this case is the Constitution and your common sense,” Cipollone says.

Has THIS Thought Ever Crossed Your Mind?

Well, This Is VERY Timely And Insightful . . .

Retired Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz: “Nothing in the Bolton revelations, even if true, would rise to the level of an abuse of power or an impeachable offense.”

A VERY Special Message From Kate Gibbs . . .

From Kate Gibbs, candidate for Congress, NJ District 3:

"Anyone who thinks they can push me around doesn’t know anything about #SouthJersey women. I was raised by a single mom who taught me how to stand up for myself and never back down from a challenge. To our party leaders who like to talk about empowering and supporting young Republican women to run and serve, well, here I am. The ball is in your court.

"I’ve worked at the grassroots level for years to elect Republicans in South Jersey, was the youngest elected Freeholder Director in the state, cut taxes every year I was in office, and am proud to be a leader for the state building trades. I’m not stepping aside for anybody. Especially not a seat shopper who apparently believes he's entitled to party support — somewhere, anywhere. My motivation for running isn't to wear a pin and get a title; I am running to serve the people of Burlington and Ocean Counties and I intend to win."  #NJ3 #TeamKate

Honestly, Unlike Any Candidate I've EVER Met!

Jack Ciattarelli is smart, engaging, funny, candid, successful, friendly, insightful and, above all, irrepressibly human.
He's unlike any other candidate for public office I've ever met -- and I've met quite a few. A Jersey guy through-and-through, he "gets" our state and its people as few others do.  He understands the issues and the problems that we face and the solutions that he's proposing are practical, sensible and nonetheless groundbreaking. I could have chatted with Jack all afternoon but this relatively short discussion on The Advocates will give you a sense of what he's all about and why his campaign demands your attention. 
Time flies during out chat. Don't miss it! 

Never Forget; Remember Forever; Never Again!

This is Holocaust Remembrance Day in honor of the Six Million.
On this day 75 years ago, Auschwitz was liberated by the allied forces.
