It’s good to see Senate keeping presidential powers in check. But did the Senate make the right decision? Impact of Khashoggi’s murder. Did it just draw attention to the war? US sometimes has to cooperate with bad actors - like Stalin & the Soviets during WWII - in order to ensure our vital interests are met. Is that the case here? Interview with Dick Stephens, founder & board member of The Malawi Project. Whatever the narrative of the day, the fundamentals of what needs to happen in this great nation do not change.

The real assault on our Constitution and Free Speech. CNN. California wants to tax text messages - retroactively. Middle school student was forced to change his last name (Trump) because of bullying. American University calls for minority-only spaces on campus in order to, you guessed it, promote inclusion. What better way to promote inclusion than by excluding other groups of students?

Trump, Pelosi & Schumer have public argument about border security and a government shutdown. Nancy Pelosi needs experts to tell her if walls work. Migrants make demands of US at southern border: $50K and we go home. The battle for control of the narrative: border security or government shutdown?

CNN’s Jim Acosta reports Trump is concerned about impeachment. You think? But here’s what he really wants you to take from that headline. Trump’s accomplishments.

No one wants Michael Bloomberg to run for president - at his own company.

Calls for impeachment disappeared during the campaign, but now they are reappearing - and the intensity is ratcheting up. Comey says Trump is all but a formal co-conspirator. Andy McCarthy says it’s likely Trump will be indicted. Michael Cohen fallout. Political angst. Lack of reason & objectivity. The “perfect storm.” Truth & morality.

Differentiating between true political fights and the desire to destroy political enemies. Don Lemon wouldn't have shaken Trump's hand - at a funeral for a former president. Classy. PETA. Other headlines.

Listeners to a Denver radio station voted overwhelming (95%-5%) in favor of the station playing the song Baby It’s Cold Outside. Michael Flynn secretively - shhh - worked with Turkey. Cooperated. No jail time. Conclusions the media & the Left want us to draw. Discrepancies in how secretive activities are covered in the media, depending upon who the leader is. Democrats racing to join the House Judiciary Committee - the front lines of the impending impeachment battle. Democrats are putting more women in positions of leadership, replacing men.
