Impeachment Article Delivered to Senate for Second Trial Against Trump

/1 Comment/in , /by

The nine House Democrats tapped as prosecutors in the second Senate trial against former President Donald Trump have officially delivered an article of impeachment to the upper chamber.

The managers put on a somber display marching ceremoniously through the U.S. Capitol on Monday to present the Senate with its single article that alleges Trump incited an insurrection through his actions surrounding the Jan. 6 attack on the very same building by a mob of Trump supporters.

The Hill reported that the lower chamber “impeached Trump 12 days ago and Senate leaders have agreed to postpone the start of the public trial until the week of Feb. 8.” The longest-serving Democrat in the upper chamber, Senate President Pro Tempore Patrick Leahy of Vermont, announced Monday that he would preside over the trial rather than Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court John Roberts.

Ten House Republicans joined Democrats in voting for impeaching Trump, making the condemnation a bipartisan effort as opposed to the first impeachment of the then-president last year when no GOP members cast a vote in favor of his ouster.

PATHETIC: COVID Narrative Makes MAJOR Shift Now That Biden is President

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By WND. Don’t look now, but with President Trump out of the White House, establishment media and some government leaders are signaling the coronavirus pandemic has dramatically turned a corner. . .

Blaze TV host Steve Deace, who compiled a list on Facebook of developments this week, pointed out that the narrative NPR published on the day before the inauguration conflicted with its assessment the day after.

On Jan. 19, NPR ran the headline “As Death Rate Accelerates, U.S. Records 400,000 Lives Lost to Coronavirus.” But on Jan. 21, it featured a story titled “Current, Deadly U.S. Coronavirus Surge Has Peaked, Researchers Say.” . . .

A peer-reviewed paper favorable to the “Trump drug” hydroxychloroquine completed in August was published in the American Journal of Medicine.

Kansas Democratic Gov. Laura Kelley discreetly lowered the threshold for determining a positive COVID-19 case.
Anti-Trump Maryland Republican Gov. Larry Hogan has decided to reopen schools. (Read more from “NO SURPRISE: COVID Narrative Makes MAJOR Shift Now That Biden’s President” HERE)

Now WHO Admits ‘Gold Standard’ COVID Test Is Unreliable

By WND. The World Health Organization has officially acknowledged that the “gold standard” test used to diagnose COVID-19 has a high rate of false-positives that make it unreliable. . .

“Where test results do not correspond with the clinical presentation, a new specimen should be taken,” the guidance says.

The WHO warns that most PCR tests “are indicated as an aid for diagnosis,” meaning health care providers should consider at least seven other factors to confirm any test.

Health care providers, the guidance says, “must consider any result in combination with timing of sampling, specimen type, [test] specifics, clinical observations, patient history, confirmed status of any contacts, and epidemiological information.” (Read more from “Now WHO Admits ‘Gold Standard’ COVID Test Is Unreliable” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

In Rasmussen’s final presidential tracking poll for President Trump, 51% of likely voters approved of his job performance.

Rasmussen Reports said the figures include 36% who said they strongly approve and 41% who strongly disapprove.

During the pandemic, his numbers dropped as low as 45% for June 2020. By comparison, President Obama’s monthly approval ran from a high of 59% in February 2009, his first full month in the White House, to a low of 44% in August and October of 2011.

Rasmussen anticipated its 51% approval figure would invited “doubters.” . .

Trump Wasn’t at the Inauguration to Hand Biden the Nuclear ‘Football.’ The Transfer Happened Differently for the Very First Time.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Traditionally the nuclear “football” — the heavy briefcase that’s always with the president, who can use it to control America’s nuclear weapons — is handed off by the outgoing commander in chief to the incoming president at the inauguration, NBC News reported. . .

A military aide who carries the “football” remains physically close to the president, the network said, and is ready at a moment’s notice to commence the detailed process of putting the football to use. . .

More from NBC News:

A U.S. official said that a military aide will accompany Trump to Florida with one of the footballs and that Trump will retain sole authority to launch a nuclear strike until 11:59:59 a.m. Wednesday. Trump’s being physically out of Washington will not affect his launch authority or access to the football until noon. (There are multiple footballs that allow a president to launch a military strike while traveling.)

Another military aide with a second nuclear football will hand over the authority to Biden once he is sworn in, the official said, and the military aide with Trump will bring the football back to Washington.

China Slaps Trump Administration Officials With Sanctions

/0 Comments/in , , /by

China showed its disdain for the Trump administration — which adopted a tough stance against the communist country over the last four years — by imposing sanctions on more than two dozen former Trump officials just minutes after they left office Wednesday.

Beijing issued a statement shortly after President Joe Biden had been sworn into office announcing sanctions against several former officials such as Trump’s secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, his trade adviser, Peter Navarro, and his national security adviser, Robert O’Brien.

Others hit with sanctions were Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations, Kelly Craft, his top diplomat for Asia, David Stilwell, his Health and Human Services secretary, Alex Azar, former national security adviser, John Bolton, and former political strategist, Steve Bannon.

While the sanctions are largely symbolic, the Associated Press noted that they “underscore Beijing’s antipathy toward a U.S. administration it regarded as hostile.”

In the statement, the Chinese foreign ministry said: “Over the past few years, some anti-China politicians in the United States, out of their selfish political interests and prejudice and hatred against China and showing no regard for the interests of the Chinese and American people, have planned, promoted and executed a series of crazy moves which have gravely interfered in China’s internal affairs, undermined China’s interests, offended the Chinese people, and seriously disrupted China-U.S. relations.” (Read more from “China Slaps Trump Administration Officials With Sanctions” HERE)

Nancy Pelosi: Donald Trump Could Be ‘Accessory to Murder’ After Capitol Riots

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said former President Donald Trump might be an “accessory to murder” in conjunction with the riots at the U.S. Capitol this month.

In an MSNBC interview that aired Tuesday night, the House speaker accused Trump of inciting the deadly riot at the Capitol on January 6, which left at least five people dead including a U.S. Capitol Police officer.

“President’s words are important, they weigh a ton,” Pelosi said of Trump. “And if you’re Donald Trump talking to these people, they believe it, and they used his words to come here.” . . .

“When we talk about, ‘Did any of our colleagues collaborate?’ Well, that remains to be seen,” Pelosi said.

“We have to get the evidence of that. And if they did, they would be accessory to the crime. And the crime, in some cases, was murder. And this president is an accessory to that crime because he instigated that insurrection that caused those deaths and this destruction,” she added.

Dumped: Sidney Powell Releases Her ‘Kraken’ Suit

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sidney Powell, the high-profile attorney who vowed to “release the Kraken” in a lawsuit alleging widespread fraud in Georgia resulting in a presidential victory for Joe Biden, has voluntarily dropped her legal action less than 24 hours before Biden’s inauguration.

In a motion filed at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, Powell and other attorneys agreed with defendants including Gov. Brian Kemp and Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger to have the case dismissed.

“This civil action brings to light a massive election fraud,” her original lawsuit had indicated.

“I feel very optimistic the truth will get out,” Powell had said in November concerning her actions trying to prove fraud helped steal the election away from President Trump. “Of course, everybody on the face of the earth now is trying to suppress it, including people in our own government.

“But I won’t quit until it’s out and (we) release the Kraken,” she said, invoking a line from the mythological monster fantasy film “Clash of the Titans.” (Read more from “Dumped: Sidney Powell Releases Her ‘Kraken’ Suit” HERE)

Trump Pardons Ex-Strategist Steve Bannon

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump pardoned former chief strategist Steve Bannon in the final hours of his White House term as part of a flurry of clemency action that benefited more than 140 people, including rap performers, ex-members of Congress and other allies of him and his family.

The last-minute clemency, announced after midnight on Wednesday, follows separate waves of pardons over the past month for Trump associates convicted in the FBI’s Russia investigation as well as for the father of his son-in-law.

Taken together, the actions underscore the president’s willingness, all the way through his four years in the White House, to flex his constitutional powers in ways that defy convention and explicitly aid his friends and supporters. (Read more from “Trump Pardons Ex-Strategist Steve Bannon” HERE)

Trump Is Considering Forming a New Political Party

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump has talked in recent days with associates about forming a new political party, according to people familiar with the matter, an effort to exert continued influence after he leaves the White House.

Mr. Trump discussed the matter with several aides and other people close to him last week, the people said. The president said he would want to call the new party the “Patriot Party,” the people said. . .

It’s unclear how serious Mr. Trump is about starting a new party, which would require a significant investment of time and resources. The president has a large base of supporters, some of whom were not deeply involved in Republican politics prior to Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign.

Donald Trump’s Facebook Gets Almost 200,000 Likes Despite Being Blocked

/1 Comment/in , /by

Donald Trump’s Facebook page attracted almost 200,000 likes over the past two weeks despite being “indefinitely” blocked from posting.

The president—who will exit the White House on Wednesday following the inauguration of Joe Biden—was effectively exiled from mainstream social media platforms this month after a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6.

Unlike Twitter, which removed Trump’s account from view amid a suspension, Facebook kept his profiles visible but ruled they would no longer be able to post status updates. Both platforms said allowing Trump to post risked inciting further violence.

While the president’s frequent outbursts on social media have been silenced, the moves have not stopped his Facebook profile from gaining new likes in the days since, according to statistics compiled by U.S. analytics company Social Blade.
