Pelosi Showed Signs of Mental Illness Last Night.

Image result for images of men in white coats"

I’m not a doctor, but I don’t think she’s playing with a full deck. From the onset of Trump’s SOTU Address her demeanor and facial distortions were off. Her mouth was crooked and she was mumbling to herself. She was obviously uncomfortable but a normal person would have sat still and looked forward like Pence did. But she looked to the right at her “women in white” in between frantically searching through the pages of the speech like it was a cocktail menu that didn’t have her favorite drink. Very childish behavior. She smiled when her minions rose to protest. She was sweating and at one time raised her hand to instruct someone to God knows what. She was definitely living in her own little world, dissociated from Trump’s speech altogether. Poor Mike Pence looked like an embarrassed father sitting with his unruly toddler in a restaurant. He tried to ignore her as best he could, but I could almost imagine him blowing up and scolding her in public.

BUT when she rose to premeditatedly and slowly rip up Trump’s speech in segments in full view of the camera with the face of a sociopath, she confirmed to me that she is mentally ill. She was biting her lower lip in between looking like she wanted to spit on his back. No one in their right mind would have done this stunt on camera for the world to see. It was primal behavior. She has the restraint of a child; yet they say Trump has no restraint. She disgraced herself and the House and this will stay with her for the rest of her life. She has now dishonored all decorum of the House of Representatives as well as grounds for Impeachment. I hope the Supreme Court Justices caught her in this act. That is not the way normal people in power behave. Maybe in a third world country or in a kindergarten classroom but not our House of Representatives. She didn’t even announce the president according to traditional protocol. She’s vindictive; right from Central Casting of a Lifetime Movie. What else is she capable of doing? She needs to go before we find out.

This is the woman in charge of Trump’s impeachment sham? This alone should make the whole impeachment fiasco “null and void” as she proved last night that it was a baseless political impeachment stunt and nothing more. It was the Seinfeld Impeachment–impeachment about nothing. Ted Cruz should be able to come up with some way to reverse the House’s vote to impeach to clear Trump’s record, based on the Speaker of the House’s strange behavior.

The speech Trump gave was spot on. I was tearful throughout the introduction of many of his guests especially Rush Limbaugh. I’m sure Rush must have put Pelosi over the top as I watched her eyes roll, but his award was well deserved. Pelosi had the waste-of-humanity Impeachment Managers slouched in the front row just to intimidate Trump. He showed restraint by ignoring the creeps and never brought up the sham. Good for him. Not worth talking about pencilneck.

The Democrats in the audience thought Trump’s speech was dark and depressing and never mentioned climate change. That’s an overused term that some folks are getting tired of hearing. I guess touting success is dark and depressing to the Dems. Trump was as serious as a heart attack which is not his typical behavior at rallies, but look at what he was dealing with: the “women in white” who should be hauled off by the men in white coats; the slouching, stoic Impeachment Managers; and a deranged woman sitting directly behind him making distorted faces throughout the whole proceeding. It gives new meaning to a tough crowd. The “women in white” sat on their hands throughout most of his speech. AOC didn’t even attend which proves she’s immature and can’t handle his success–all a bunch of disgruntled employees at best or deranged individuals at worst. I hope America saw their true colors last night which was on full display, especially Pelosi’s mental illness. Vote all the bums out.

FOOTNOTE:

To the media, Hollywood, and Dems who are disgustingly maligning Rush Limbaugh as a racist that doesn’t deserve the medal he received: Be careful what you say about him as you may be in for a similar health challenge someday. Never mock anyone fighting cancer. Obviously those who are mocking him have never taken the time to listen to his show. If they had, they would never say such lies about him. Just because he was not in favor of Obama’s radical policies, does not make him a racist.

Participation Trophy Party–Democrat Party.

Image result for images of participation trophies"

There’s something rotten in Iowa. This is the party that wants to take over our healthcare? They can’t even run a small voting program. It was either coordinated to screw Bernie out of his momentum or just plain old incompetence. Either way, we can’t let them be in charge of a snack shack at a little league game let alone the health of our country. They aren’t good at anything other than targeting the president. That’s their forte.

Some compare the caucus snafu to the launch of Obamacare. I smell a rat like Hillary. Turns out some of her boys were in charge of the program and should have tested it. Did the DNC want to quash Bernie’s win by claiming their program malfunctioned? They are all behind Biden and possibly why this happened. Interestingly, some of the candidates took a victory speech like they had won. Participation trophy winners. They participated so why not let them be the winner?

Or was it an orchestrated attempt to take the narrative away from Trump’s State of the Union Address tonight? Maybe they will finally announce a winner right when Trump goes to the mic. Would not put it past them. They are tricky. Let’s wait a week and see how they can blame Trump for their computer glitch, shall we? Russia where are you when they need you?

Prayers go out to Rush Limbaugh who usually filled my mornings with his show. Wishing him a successful treatment and quick recovery. We can’t lose him.

California Needs to Get Used to Losing…

like they did last night at the Super Bowl. Lick those wounds now and get ready for more. As a native San Franciscan I was sorry the 49ers lost, but they do need to focus on more important things like their homeless problem. San Francisco streets are riddled with homeless tents, feces, urine, and needles. How could they have a parade if they did win? It wouldn’t be fair to the spectators. SF needs to clean up their act before expecting to win at the Super Bowl.

I suspect most of the players live in the city in fancy accommodations and the filth doesn’t bother them. Just because something doesn’t affect you doesn’t make it okay to turn a blind eye. They make lots of money playing on the 49ers and could come up with a plan to help house these vagrants. It would be a much more noble of an enterprise than winning the Super Bowl or having the first female coach.

If they had won the Super Bowl, most likely they would choose not to go to the White House if invited. That would be an ungrateful move on their part. But the SF 49ers are liberal first and athletes second. As a typical liberal, they would have to show support for their liberal city by not going to the WH. Sad and ungrateful.

Why is President Trump the most unappreciated President in modern history? “No good deed goes unpunished” comes to mind and has never before been more evident. All the good deeds he has done from donating his salary to the booming economy has gone unnoticed and unrewarded by the left. Why do liberals not show appreciation for a job well done or talent? I’ve often thought about this. Why are they so unappreciative which translates into being cruel?

I notice Hollywood is upset that the Senate couldn’t get the votes to call more witnesses. They’re blaming every senator that voted against it. These senators actually saved the country from weeks of more nonsense, yet they too will go unappreciated by the left. Is it just the old fashion reason of jealousy or something more nefarious? If someone has the answer, I’d really like to know. Why are liberals so mean?

Regardless of the answer, California needs to get ready for more losing. They need to lick their wounds now and get used to the taste of losing.

There Are ONLY Two Genders (Sexes): Male and Female!

When couples have a Gender Reveal Party it’s only pink cake for “it’s a girl” or blue cake for “it’s a boy.” There’s no purple, gray, or rainbow cake. How do the millennials or the Gen Z have a problem with that? When a doctor delivers a baby he says, “it’s a girl” or “it’s a boy.” He never says, “I’m not sure” or “we’ll wait and see what it feels like.”

How does anyone think there are more than two genders (sexes)? Ask a pediatrician how many genders there are. Ask any scientist how many sexes there are. Ask the hospital how many genders there are. Ask a biologist how many sexes there are. This discussion on how many genders there are is ludacris. It’s black and white with no gray area. I thought the Left likes science–only when it agrees with them.

Let me break it down for the younger generation. If you’re born with a pee pee, you’re a boy. If you’re born with a vagina, you’re a girl. Didn’t you watch Kindergarten Cop? It’s as simple as that. Kids shouldn’t be outraged when someone says there are only two genders. This nonsense needs to stop and parents of these young kids need to tell them so. Nip it in the bud.

SEX: Either of two divisions of organisms distinguished respectively as male or female. Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary, 1973.

I don’t think women are pushing out any new genders from their womb since 1973, although the newer dictionaries have become PC with vague, muddled definitions relating to social justice. Schools are even changing our history books to reflect famous transgenders. I suspect the woman caught wearing men’s clothes driving a stagecoach was because she wanted a job outside the home and that was the only way to get it–like in the movie Yentl. To portray her as a transgender just to change the history books is a stretch.

Back in 1973, when Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs had the highly promoted Battle of the Sexes tennis tournament, it was not called Battle of Two of the Genders. Just saying.

Parents who try to change the gender of their child because he/she feels like the opposite gender are guilty of child abuse. Leave your child alone. Let them be the sex they were born with. If your daughter doesn’t like to wear a dress, so what? If she doesn’t like to play with dolls, so what? She’s a tomboy. Buy her a tennis racket. It’s a trait. Deal with it.

If your son likes to try on your high heels or lipstick, so what? If he slips into your underwear one day, so what? If he doesn’t want to play sports, so what? He’s not coordinated maybe. Put him in acting classes. It’s also a trait. Deal with it.

Trying to blur the sexes is a problem. They are different. They need separate bathrooms and different parenting. We don’t raise them the same. Don’t mess with something that was working for years. When you do, there will be new problems in schools and society.

What they do as an adult is on them. Don’t interfere with their God given sex when they are young. That’s all I have to say. Don’t want to read or hear about child gender changing. I did hear about a nine year old transgender who spoke up at a town hall. The audience clapped. At nine years old, I was playing jacks, hopscotch, and doing cartwheels. The thought of my sex was not even a blip on the radar and shouldn’t be on the kid’s radar that attended the town hall either. Parents put them up to this crap. It needs to stop. It’s dangerous to their health.

There are only two sexes/genders! It’s a girl!

Boys trying to play as girls on sports teams should not be allowed. They have different muscles and hormones. They are taking scholarships from the girls. VOTE “NO” ON THE EQUALITY ACT. It’s ludacris.

Election May Come Down to Billionaire vs. Billionaire.

Two old white guys with big bucks, bucking horns for the same job. If this happens, who will the AOC’s, Millennials, and GenZ’s vote for? There’s no way they’ll vote for a successful billionaire whether he’s liberal or not. No way. They want the billionaires’ money to pay for free stuff for themselves. They want free healthcare, free college, free childcare, free pre K, with no feasible way in hell to pay for it all. Like Pocahontas, they’re all about punishing the rich and big corporations.

Where would the Socialists go without a Socialist on the ballot? Would they vote for the Green Party candidate? That would take votes from the Democrat candidate. Hopefully they would stay home sulking in their parents’ basement. AOC and her gang would have a conniption. They wouldn’t be able to endorse a billionaire candidate. It would serve the Democrats right for all the trouble they’ve given Trump. It would actually be karma for the way they’ve been treating Trump.

The rest of America would have to decide between the two billionaires, one who was mayor of New York City and ran it like a “nanny city” and the other the current president of the United States who gave us a roaring economy. Who did a better job?

Bloomberg didn’t trust people to choose their own type of food, size of drinks, or seasoning. He restricted food establishments in what they could serve. He sounds controlling. He’s bought into the climate change big time yet flies around in his private jet. He sounds hypocritical. He’s for encouraging illegals to come to our country to better their life and not for deportation. He’s pro, pro, pro choice and will nominate liberal Supreme Court Justices. Although he ran as a Republican when Mayor of NYC and more moderate than his Jewish contender Sanders, he is Jewish and they’ll always be Democrats at heart. Not sure why Judge Judy recommended him other than him being Jewish. Did she like him restricting her food choices?

It would be interesting to see a debate between two New York billionaires that have both changed parties. They ran in the same circles at one time as Democrats. Trump probably supported his campaign for mayor and in return asked for approvals of projects. Two New Yorkers bucking horns. Two New Yorkers with different goals for America. Bloomberg voted for Hillary which I think disqualifies him from the get go as he doesn’t have good judge of someone’s character. Or he doesn’t care if she was crooked which makes him complicit. He probably also voted for Obama. Being a good judge of character is a prerequisite to being president. When the president surrounds himself with shady characters it makes for a corrupt government. Just look who Obama surrounded himself with: Comey, McCabe, Brennan, Clapper, Strzok and the office lover, and Rice.

Bloomberg made his money on Wall Street while Trump constructed buildings on All Streets. Bloomberg restricted the Big Gulp while Trump made the fake news media take a big gulp. Bloomberg is against trans fat in food while Trump is against transgenders in the military. Bloomberg restricted salt in restaurant meals while Trump rubs salt in his critics wounds. Bloomberg is pro choice on abortion while Trump is pro choice on hospitals for Veterans.

Bloomberg sees a crippled Biden and thinks it’s the perfect time to come into the race. Bloomberg along with many successful billionaires do not agree with Warren’s “medicare for all” plan and wants to get on the stage to shoot it down like a good billionaire can. Tom Steyer, billionaire candidate, had a poor performance during the last debate. He was all about calling Trump a criminal but didn’t go after Warren. Time for a capitalist to come to the table and set them all straight. He’ll probably play the “climate change” card to court the Socialist vote; but if Lil’ Mike thinks he can come in and take credit for Trump’s economy, he’s got another thing coming. Trump won’t let him.

It’s a bad day for the frontrunner Biden. Bloomberg thinks he’ll be the superhero or has the secret sauce to save the world from Trump. We’ll see about that. Stay tuned.

What’s Eating Romney?

man s face greyscale picture — Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com

I voted for him when he ran for President. I had his sign on my front lawn. I thought for sure he’d beat Obama because of the Benghazi scandal, yet he lost. He had all the qualifications to be president with his experience, looks, demeanor, stature, except for charisma. But he let Obama stump him during two debates with snarky comments which he had no comeback for. Then he came out strong against Trump with a vile speech right before his election. It was almost like he jumped ships to the dark side–Hillary. He’s a Never-Trumper at best and a Democrat at worst. Can’t know for sure.

Now that he voted to hear witnesses in a sham trial, I think he’s a traitor. I was all for him redeeming himself when he ran for senator, but it seems he has been a fly in the ointment ever since he landed that job. We don’t need another spiteful McCain in the Senate that cast the deadly vote against overturning Obamacare. This is not what we wanted. Seems Romney wanted to be the deadly vote For Witnesses. That decision would have tied up the country for weeks if not months with more lies and grandstanding by the left. Shame on you Romney. You’re putting your vengeance over country. You were probably bummed when the Mueller Report went bust.

How is it that a religious guy like Romney can hold such vengeance in his heart? Not so sure about his Mormon Religion. Maybe he needs a cup of coffee or some wine. Trump didn’t pick him for the Secretary of State position. Thank God. He gave a horrible speech about Trump so why would he choose him?

Trump is doing everything as president that Romney would have wanted to accomplish but probably would not have the courage to do. This is what makes Trump: He does what the others promise but don’t have the guts to do, i.e. move the embassy in Israel and speak at a Pro Life gathering.

Romney better get with the program soon, or he’ll be ostracized by the whole party. Even his niece (who works for the RNC) is pro Trump. Come on Romney hop on board the Trump Train. Swallow your pride. Pride is a deadly sin. There’s room for you. We’ll give you one more chance to redeem yourself. Don’t hang in the girl’s locker room with Collins. Otherwise just change parties already.

Impeachment Sham.

Related image I can’t imagine how stupid Pelosi, Nadler, Schumer, and Schiff feel right now. But I’ll enjoy imagining. That crow must taste bad. Is it vegan? Months of wasted time, money, and lies just like during the Mueller Probe.

Good night you bunch of selfish hypocrites. Remember, the truth will always prevail. Try it sometime.

Can’t wait to see what you pull next. We don’t care what you’ll call the Senate’s Trial so don’t bother speaking. Trump won’t be affected by it nor will the voters.

Is This Sham Trial Over Yet?

WAITING FOR THE BELLS TO RING THAT IT IS ALL OVER.

Image result for images of vintage alarm clocks

Three days of leading, repetitive questions from the Democrat Senators. How many times are they going to ask the same old thing in different wording? If I see that crooked, slimy Schiff worm his way up the the mic one more time, I may throw something at my tv. This whole trial was a set up from the get go. It was Mueller Report 2.0. They’ve been spying, lying, and crying about Trump from the day he announced he was running for president. It has been a concerted effort by the former administration, the FBI, CIA, and FISA courts to take him out of the running and get him out of office if he won.

But now that we’re getting closer to the second term of a successful president, they’re desperate and running out of Plan B’s. What will be next when this sham explodes in their faces? What’s the next plan: stuffing the ballot boxes, tampering with election computers, getting illegals and dead people to vote (oh, they already did that before)? They’ll stop at nothing because they’re in too deep. They’re all looking at some jail time soon.

Dershowitz had it right during his testimony in the trial but the media came at him like school of piranhas in a feeding frenzy, nipping and tearing his flesh apart. Image that… and he’s a Democrat too. Dershowitz made it clear and simple but the dumb Dems couldn’t understand him. He basically said that if Biden had trotted into the sunset as a hasbeen VP, Trump may have ignored his past corruption. BUT since Biden was running for the highest office in the land, Trump had an obligation to know more about what went on in Ukraine with his son. He said it looked horrible. Who wouldn’t want to know about this scandal if Biden was running for president?

Image result for images of a school of piranhas

He also said it had nothing to do with Trump’s reelection as he’d probably want the same if he was in his second term. It is a president’s obligation to investigate any candidate with rumors of corruption as they’re seeking the highest job in the land. Nothing to do with getting the dirt on an opponent to cheat in the 2020 election as the Dems keep repeating. Remember, it was okay for Obama to spy on candidate Trump as an opponent to Hillary. Amazing how soon they forget.

Notice how not one of them will acknowledge Biden’s obvious “influence selling” by having his son on the board of a known corrupt company. It’s staring them right in their faces, but they refuse to look at it. Rather, they continue to say it is a bogus conspiracy theory invented by Trump and FOX News that has been debunked by everyone. We’d like to know who debunked it, aside from fake mainstream media.

Now this so-called whistleblower who started this whole fiasco is still allowed to be anonymous. How is that? Trump has the right to meet his accuser. I hear this WB is an Obama administration holdover (swamp dweller) and has been planning an attack on Trump from day one. He waited until the Mueller Report was a bust then came out the day afterwards. Coincidence? I don’t think so. Planned? Yes. Orchestrated with Schiff? Yes. All this needs to come out in the light but Justice Roberts quashed any questions relating to this. Why?

I hope this sham of a trial ends today and Trump is acquitted. The left will say they weren’t allowed to have witnesses in this trial but that is a lie. They had seventeen. The left will claim the trial was a sham. Yes. We agree; it was from the get go. The left will claim that Trump is involved in a cover up together with the Senators. They are projecting their cover up of the Bidens onto Trump. This is what the left does. Project. Anything they’re doing or about to do, they accuse Trump of. But we’re onto them by now. Aren’t we?

If not, we are all doomed.

Are House Managers Allowed to Lie in Answers to Senators’ Questions?

Image result for images of swearing under oath

Is this a rhetorical question? I guess so. Are these lawyers underoath? What’s the point of asking them questions, if you’re going to get lied to? Makes no sense. Everytime Schiff and Nadler rose to answer a question, they lied. Nadler said, “Trump enlisted the help of Russia to steal the election in 2016 and attempted to enlist the help of Ukraine to cheat in 2020.” These are outrageous lies. Why can’t the defense object? Why doesn’t the judge slam down his gavel? This is not a normal trial.

“Objection, Your Honor! States facts not in evidence!” should have been said everytime Schiff and Nadler answered a question. This is a Sham Trial of a Sham Impeachment. To the average person listening or watching this trial, they are being misled. I had to listen via radio and the host of the radio station was definitely siding with the House Managers and pooh poohing anything said by the defense. Even radio is lying. For instance, when the defense rose to give an intelligent answer, the radio host would interpret it for his liberal audience afterwards and put his spin or sarcasm on it. It was a San Francisco station so to be expected.

I would have asked only one question of the House Managers: “Does running for President make a candidate “above the law?” They are so big on the “above the law” phrase, just use it back on them. Biden or any candidate involved in corruption needs to be investigated even though it was during 2016. Obama and his FBI certainly investigated (spied on) Trump while he was a candidate. What’s good for the goose.

There is a concerted effort from the left to take out Trump from all media outlets or at least tarnish him before the next election. This has been their goal all along because they can’t stand to see how successful he’s become. Trump is symbolically the first Jewish President as they claimed Bill Clinton was the first Black President. Same could be said for Trump as he has done more for the Jewish than every president beforehand and is probably why Sanders and Bloomberg are so jealous. They want to wear the crown of being the first Jewish President. Too late. Trump beat you to it.

I can’t wait until this sham trial is over so we can get back to the business of running our country. The Bolton witness is just a red herring the left is using to extend the trial. Don’t fall for it Senators. Ask for a dismissal.

“What is a Dismissal?

A dismissal is the termination of a case before the question of guilt gets to be adjudicated. A judge may order a case dismissed for a variety of reasons. These reasons include:

Lack of sufficient evidence or probable cause for the matter to proceed to trial. A judge typically dismisses a case for these reasons upon the filing of a motion, or application for order of dismissal, by a defendant;
The evidence obtained by the prosecution was obtained through violation of a defendant’s constitutional rights. A defendant’s constitutional rights can be violated in a number of ways, including through an illegal search or seizure, or through failure to honor a defendant’s Miranda rights – the right during a custodial interrogation to remain silent, and the right to have an attorney be present during questioning;
The prosecution has engaged in flagrant misconduct. An example of misconduct is when the prosecution has exculpatory evidence (evidence that tends to show the defendant is not guilty of the charged offense) and deliberately refuses to share that evidence with the defense. The US Constitution requires that exculpatory evidence be given to the defense. If a judge finds the concealment of exculpatory evidence was deliberate, the case may be dismissed.” Legal Match

The House is guilty of all of the aforementioned and the judge should dismiss.

Dumb Lemon is an Embarrassment.

THIS IS WHAT A LEMON IS FOR, NOT REPORTING NEWS.

yellow lemonade on clear glass saucer — Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com

For him to laugh at some oaky nerd make fun of Trump and his supporters on national tv was disgusting. This could be the left’s new “deplorables” moment calling us “rubes.” Remember when you point your finger at us you have three fingers pointing back at you, nerdy guy. Lemon laughed so hard he cried? I can’t wait for him to cry on election night this year when Trump wins again and he has to eat crow with egg all over his dumb face on national tv. No wonder no one watches CNN.

CNN must be looking for some diversion from the Impeachment Trial which is not going their way. Boo hoo, Lemon, you and your ilk suck. You report lies every night and bury the truth. How do you sleep at night? Must be hard. Grow a conscience and try reporting the truth sometime or at least do some investigative reporting like Hannity does. Who would turn on your show to hear lies? Only stupid Hillary or Democrat voters. And your guest called us stupid? Ironic isn’t it?

You guys had it all wrong three years ago thinking Hillary would win, and you still have it wrong. Trump and his supporters are the smart ones and the proof is in the pudding. Look at all that Trump has accomplished while being under attack from the crazy left for three years. It is almost unbelievable. Today even coming up with a Middle East Peace Plan. Like the Defense Counsel said, “Trump is winning and the Democrats hate it.”

Will Trump be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for at least trying? I think not. The left will never award him for nothing, and they’re in charge of Nobel Peace Prizes, unfortunately. They gave one to Obama for just winning the presidency. Hmm. That still irks me. Usually you have to accomplish something, anything–not just being the first half Black president. Can a Nobel Peace Prize be revoked? Just asking.

If Mittens Romney votes to hear witnesses, he’s an embarrassment to the Senate and should be voted out when he comes up for election next. He always looks like he has a bee up his butt about something. Collins and the other one are ungrateful embarrassments too as they just want to be seen as fair. Why don’t they try putting themselves in Trump’s shoes for a change to see if he is being treated fairly.

Stay tuned for the end of the trial. Still hoping for a dismissal. If they’re smart, the senators on both sides will just dismiss and take the criticism later. The left will never be happy no matter what they do, so do less harm by ending the Impeachment Sham. The Senate has proven that the House has not met their burden of proof. That’s on them. If they open it up to witnesses, they will go down a rabbit hole and regret it.
