‘Every Single One Of The Witnesses Did Not Witness Anything’: Sarah Sanders Blows Holes In Impeachment Narrative | The Daily Caller
‘Every Single One Of The Witnesses Did Not Witness Anything’: Sarah Sanders Blows Holes In Impeachment Narrative | The Daily Caller:
Sanders, who joined former CBS reporter Lara Logan on Hannity’s program, was responding to questions about the contrast between media coverage of former Vice President Joe Biden and Hunter Biden’s involvement with Ukrainian gas company Burisma and the coverage of President Donald Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“How does the corrupt media survive constantly with this double standard? It’s on a sickening level,” Hannity began.

California Tried To Fine a Company $10,000 for Ordering Blind People Ubers and Lyfts Without a Permit – Reason.com
"California regulators are trying to crack down on a company that orders Ubers for the blind and elderly.
...Regulators demanded that the company pay a $10,000 fine and obtain the necessary permit to run a transportation network company, which would involve getting $1 million liability insurance for its vehicles and handing over lists of its drivers to the state.
But GoGo doesn't own any vehicles, and it doesn't contract directly with any drivers.
Instead, for the past four years, the company has been providing a toll-free hotline that customers without a smartphone can call to order an Uber or Lyft ride to their home or another prearranged location.
Using customer-provided information, GoGo's software automatically orders a ride, then charges a 27-cent-per-mile fee for its services.
GoGo's service is aimed at elderly and disabled people who either don't have or can't use smartphones.
Its novelty and perceived public benefit—improving mobility for seniors—has earned the company coverage from such outlets as The New York Times and TechCrunch.
State regulators have taken a more negative view..."

"A National team of experts, no end in sight to THE 30 YEAR COOLING trend..." you know the one they did a disappearing act on? .
The reason this is so important is that if there was a 30 year cooling trend of the globe recorded back in 1978, which there was; there is plenty of documentation and fortunately people that remember it , then it must have been warmer before that 30 year stretch.

Even more important, all of the so-called science behind anthropogenic warming started to pick up political momentum around 1989 and used satellite data from 1980 onwards.
This is very convenient due to the fact that the 30-year cooling period ended around 1979.
This is very convenient due to the fact that the 30-year cooling period ended around 1979.
This is why, in order to lend credence 2 they're wackadoo hypothesis, alarmist must rely on eliminating that 30 year cooling stretch or the warming we have seen since then is nothing but a normal cycle back warmer, just a little bit warmer at that....

LTC Vindman Admits He Spoke To IC Official About Ukraine Call — Schiff Interrupts Immediately | The Daily Caller:
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff quickly interrupted LTC Alexander Vindman’s testimony Tuesday when Vindman admitted that he had spoken to others about the Ukraine call.

Barack Obama and the Behar doctrine - American Thinker
Barack Obama and the Behar doctrine - American Thinker
"On Friday, Barack Obama emerged from his $10-million Martha's Vineyard enclave to caution Democrat presidential candidates against veering too far left, a move he said "would alienate many who would otherwise be open to voting for the party's nominee next year."
"On Friday, Barack Obama emerged from his $10-million Martha's Vineyard enclave to caution Democrat presidential candidates against veering too far left, a move he said "would alienate many who would otherwise be open to voting for the party's nominee next year."
The average American doesn't think we have to completely tear down the system and remake it. And I think it's important for us not to lose sight of that. There are a lot of persuadable voters and there are a lot of Democrats out there who just want to see things make sense. They just don't want to see crazy stuff. They want to see things a little more fair, they want to see things a little more just. And how we approach that I think will be important.
Note that he's not stating that he's against tearing down the system and remaking it — only that he understands that the American people aren't prepared to "fundamentally change" the American system. "How we approach [fundamentally changing] our system I think will be important."
Obama is in effect advancing the Joy Behar Doctrine. Recall that last month, in response to Beto O'Rourke's messaging that he was going to go door to door to confiscate guns, Joy Behar, agreeing with his agenda, noted that he should conceal said agenda until elected.
...Obama knows what political savant Joy Behar knows — the American people aren't hard leftists.
By packaging their hard-left agenda as "sensible," "fair," and "just," they can fool the American people into electing them.
"How we approach [manipulating the American people] will be important."
- "Wait until you get elected, and then take the guns away."
- Wait until you get elected, and then take away Americans' freedom of speech, religion, and right of assembly.
- Wait until you get elected, and then relegate American citizens to a government-run health care system.
- Wait until you get elected, and then open the floodgates on the southern border.
- Wait until you get elected, and then do away with the Electoral College, effectively relegating the presidency to leftist voters in New York and Los Angeles.
Again, make no mistake: Obama is not a moderate.
He still seeks to "fundamentally change" America; he only wants Democratic candidates to hide their agenda until elected.""History for November 21

Republicans to Subpoena Whistleblower, Hunter Biden, Alexandra Chalupa:
Republicans intend to subpoena testimony and documents related to the anonymous whistleblower, Hunter Biden, and Democratic National Committee contractor Alexandra Chalupa, according to a letter they sent to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA).
“Although Speaker Pelosi promised that Democrats would ‘treat the President with fairness,’ you have repeatedly prevented Republicans from fully and fairly examining issues central to the Democrats’ ‘impeachment inquiry,’” House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-CA) and Oversight and Reform Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan (R-OH) wrote in a November 20, 2019, letter.

"...I have the slightest of acquaintances with Kellyanne (Conway), having been honored at the same event in Washington and enjoyed the pleasure of dining with her and her young 'uns.
No one other than the two principals can know the reality of a marriage, but I cannot imagine so loathing Donald Trump (which is after all a routine ailment throughout Washington, Manhattan and Beverly Hills) that I would be willing to do what George Conway is doing to his wife and the mother of his children.
Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman reports that Conway describes Kellyanne as "in a cult" and that their home life cannot heal "until she's cast out of the cult".
He is said to want to save his marriage, and, as all relationship consultants will tell you, the best way to save a marriage is to go on MSNBC and attack your wife's boss so that CNN can play it back to embarrass her in person a few hours later.
Who's the cult member here?..."

"At a recent Ann Arbor school board meeting, teacher Alison Eberts recited the superintendent’s salary of $268,337 and then noted, “I’m not used to numbers that high.”
The compensation of some Michigan school district superintendents has also caught the attention of some lawmakers.
Republican State Rep. Matt Maddock introduced House Bill 5258 to prohibit school districts from paying superintendents a salary greater than four times a starting teacher’s salary at the district, or three times the average teacher’s salary at the district.
The bill was cosponsored by GOP Reps. Ryan Berman and Gary Eisen.
The average salary of an Ann Arbor teacher in 2017-18 was $71,546.
The lowest level of starting salaries for an Ann Arbor teacher is $41,342.
That would cap the superintendent’s salary at $214,638 (three times the average teacher’s salary).
The lower salary of four times the starting teacher’s salary was $165,368."

Impeachment Inquiry Public Hearings Leave Out Two Key Witnesses
Impeachment Inquiry Public Hearings Leave Out Two Key Witnesses:

It is not clear why they have not been included, or whether they will be called to testify publicly in future. Neither of the two witnesses were on Republicans’ proposed list; they were called by Democrats behind closed doors.
