Lynching! (See 1 below.)
And
Will Pelosi allow the continued bashing of Trump up until election so as to produce a spoiled product for voters to vote on but never actually allow her lackeys to vote so they do not have to register how they actually feel?
Once the figures reveal the public is sick and tired of what Schiff head is doing, will Pelosi back off for fear American's have been turned off because they know Democrat's cannot beat Trump with their candidate choices etc?

1) VIDEO: Young Joe Biden Refers to Impeachment of Bill Clinton as Partisan Lynching
By Elaine Williams
An old video of Joe Biden on CNN stating,”Even if the President should be impeached, history is going to question whether or not this was just a partisan lynching…” is proof that the Democrats are hypocrites for bashing Trump for using the word “lynching” in his tweet.
Trump tweeted on Tuesday morning,“So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights. All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here - a lynching. But we will WIN!”
Joe Biden shamed Trump for his choice of words by tweeting,“Impeachment is not “lynching,” it is part of our Constitution. Our country has a dark, shameful history with lynching, and to even think about making this comparison is abhorrent. It’s despicable.”
Biden later apologized for the tweet after it was pointed out that he used the same word in 1998.
Even mainstream media uses the term “lynching,” but it doesn’t seem to bother anyone else.
By now, it’s obvious to the people who are paying close attention that the Democrats have one agenda - to impeach President Trump so he does not get re-elected. There’s no doubt their behavior will only get worse as we approach 2020.

2) Anti-Trump Camp Includes Hatred of Israel
Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels purportedly said, "Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty," a principle the Democrat Left puts into practice with unfounded accusations that Donald Trump supports racism, white nationalism, and anti-Semitism. The anti-Israel organization If Americans Knew praised Democrat front-runner Elizabeth Warren by stating, "She said 'yes' to pressuring Israel to end the occupation. Keep saying yes, and add some teeth to it." The same web page adds, "Israel has been a 'foreign policy problem' for years, but also -- especially recently -- it has become a diplomatic albatross around America’s neck." The political Left, rather than Donald Trump, has a problem with our fellow democracy Israel to the extent of excusing, ignoring, and whitewashing behavior similar to that of which they accuse Trump: Palestinian discrimination against and even physical abuse of women, religious minorities, and LGBT people.
It is past time for Jewish voters to wake up to the unpleasant fact that they are the moral equivalent of the Democratic Party's battered spouse, the voter whose support the party takes for granted regardless of its embrace of controversial figures like Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, and now Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib. Here is what actor David Clennon has to say about a cultural boycott of Israel, and on the same web page where Truthout declares, "We need your help to put an end to the destruction and abuse of the Trump administration -- before it's too late."
Clennon complains, "A successful Hollywood producer is threatening to initiate a new blacklist against one somewhat successful but slightly washed-up actor: me." The context of the producer's statement was Clennon's refusal to audition for a Netflix series because it is "…a joint project of U.S. and Israeli television companies." Clennon then adds quite plainly, "Since the Israeli massacre of 2,200 residents of Gaza in 2014, I have supported the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel under the larger umbrella of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement."
Clennon also characterizes Israel's Operation Protective Edge as a "massacre of 2200 residents of Gaza" while omitting its context. Israel did nothing to Gaza until the terrorist organization Hamas kidnapped and murdered three Israeli teenagers (an act of war) and fired rockets at Israel (another act of war). It is to be remembered that, when the Nazis bombed English cities, and then fired cruise and ballistic missiles at English cities, the Royal Air Force turned Hamburg and Dresden into crematoria and would have probably dropped a nuclear bomb on Berlin had the war continued into August 1945.
Air Marshal Sir Arthur Harris explained what should have been obvious: "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now, they are going to reap the whirlwind." Some people denounced Harris as a butcher and a war criminal, but his superiors including Prime Minister Churchill and/or Parliament could have ordered him to stop area bombing. They didn't, and Churchill was apparently comfortable with the idea of nuking Berlin. Britons who had but minutes -- and some Israelis have only 15 seconds -- to get into bomb shelters before Nazi missiles arrived probably agreed with area bombing of German cities. Royal Air Force personnel even wrote personalized messages for Hitler on their bombs before they dropped them. If Israel were to put Harris' methods (minus, however, attacks on genuine civilian targets) into practice, Hamas' incendiary balloons and rockets would stop within days.Accusing the Other Side of That Which Yours is Guilty: Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide
Clennon therefore seems inclined, like the United Nations and Jewish Voice for Peace, to overlook almost everything Hamas does to evoke Israel's well-justified countermeasures that exhibit excessive restraint to the extent of putting innocent people's lives at risk. He then adds, "A state founded upon multiple acts of violent ethnic cleansing and maintained by a system of racial apartheid stands as a moral contradiction to centuries of Jewish theological reflection and ethical reasoning."
This again implements Goebbels' (purported) advice to accuse the other side of that which your own side is guilty. Israel's Arab enemies were the ones who, in and after 1948, proposed to ethnically cleanse the region by throwing all the Jews into the sea. The 1967 and 1973 wars were more of the same, with then-"outhouse countries" (I am using the family-friendly version of the word Donald Trump uses) Egypt and Syria putting the world at risk of nuclear war.
Here are members of the Students for Justice in Palestine chanting "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" which is yet another call for ethnic cleansing if not actual genocide of Jews. Israel -- the entire country, not just the disputed areas -- is between the river and the sea. The top of the Hamas logo displays a Judenrein map of Israel. Jewish Voice for Peace's rabbinical council supports Students for Justice in Palestine.
Apartheid is meanwhile what Israel's enemies, including Clennon's poor oppressed Gazans, do. People of all religions are welcome in Israel just as they are in the United States. Women and Arabs can be members of the Knesset, and Tel Aviv has gay pride events. Hamas discriminates against Christians, Jews, and those it deems to be the wrong kinds of Muslims. LGBT people are in danger of not just discrimination, but outright violence, in Gaza while women are still subject to socially-acceptable domestic violence and honor killing.
Draw the Line at Redhenning
If we unfriended and Redhenned everybody with whom we disagree politically (a practice advocated by Democrat Maxine Waters), we would soon have few friends and fewer customers and suppliers. I would not boycott Red Hen if its owner, for example, supported Hillary Clinton in 2016 or Bernie Sanders today. I will however never patronize them because they refused to serve somebody because of her employment in the Trump Administration. My opinion would be the same of a business that refused to serve somebody for being employed by the Obama Administration.
Clennon similarly did not merely express an opinion with which others disagree, he Redhenned a project because an Israeli company was involved. The bottom line is however that unjust disparagement of Israel, and support for a cultural boycott of Israel, appears on a web page that says "We need your help to put an end to the destruction and abuse of the Trump administration -- before it's too late." The fact that these people are against Donald Trump is a good reason to support him in 2020.

3) Trump vs China: Facing America’s Greatest Threat
For decades, American leaders have accepted a fantasy version of China.
By Newt Gingrich
We have believed that China is a fragile, peaceful, developing country which is trying to shed outdated, backwards policies and philosophies. We believed it wanted to participate in global markets and ultimately become freer and more open. We believed all of this because it was our strategy for avoiding potential future conflict with the massive, ancient, and re-emerging power. Simply put, if the Chinese leadership evolved away from being an oppressive communist totalitarian dictatorship – and played by the same rules on the world stage – we could all get along and mutually benefit.The Chinese Communist Party, which has had complete control over China since 1949, has allowed us to believe these things because it has been a part of its strategy for consuming, overwhelming, and defeating any entity that threatens the ultimate power and control of the Party.
As China’s market opened to the world, many of our businesses (and those of other nations) invested heavily in its enormous economy. Our supply chains became increasingly dependent on cheap Chinese manufacturing and labor. At the same time, China’s communist leaders leveraged their markets to incentivize more American investment, subsidized their state-owned industries to create more economic dependence on China, and systematically began stealing foreign knowledge and intellectual property to gain further advantage over industries vital to the modern world economy.
As a result, many of our investments have been pilfered, our own traditional industries have been starved out of business by unfair competition, some of our best ideas have been stolen, and virtually every product that is critical to the modern world is made (at least in part) in China.
Still, many in government, the mass media, and academia don’t realize – or refuse to accept – that the fantasy is over. We now face a serious competitor that does not want to share the world stage – it wants to dominate and control it. Luckily, for the first time in decades, we have a President of the United States who understands the gravity of this competition – and is working to level the playing field. This is why I wrote Trump vs China: Facing America’s Greatest Threat, which was released on Tuesday.
As I wrote in my book, it is important to understand that I am not describing a competition between Americans and the Chinese people. This is not a fight between cultures or ethnicities. This is a struggle between two competing systems. There’s no evidence that the Chinese people as a whole want to undermine our way of life and dominate the world. However, in my new book, I cite a great deal of evidence that the Chinese Communist Party (a totalitarian dictatorship) wants to do exactly this – and is actively working toward the goal of returning China to its historic place as the Middle Kingdom at the center of global affairs.
This book is also based on fact, not fear. It is well-documented that the Chinese Communist Party is instituting a system of censorship, surveillance, and control within its own borders. It is a fact that right now, more than one million Uyghur Muslims and other non-Han Chinese ethnic minorities are being held in “re-education camps” in China’s Xinjiang region. It is a fact that the Chinese Communist Party is seeking to undermine and eliminate freedoms in Hong Kong, which by law has a right to democratic elections and autonomy from Beijing. Even today, we saw the Chinese Communist Party-controlled government in Hong Kong attempt to minimize sympathy for pro-Democracy protesters by re-announcing it had formally withdrawn the proposed law that sparked months of protests. It had already done this in September.
We are also seeing the Chinese Communist Party begin to test its ability to exercise control in other countries. For years, China has ignored international agreements and norms by occupying and militarizing the South China Sea – to the detriment of all its Southeast Asian neighbors. We are seeing the Chinese Communist Party absorbing property and gaining regional control over poorer countries ensnared in its Belt and Road global infrastructure initiative.
Even in America, consider the recent Beijing-NBA clash when a US team manager expressed support for pro-Democracy protestors in Hong Kong. Before that, think about China’s economic attack on Western airlines which had referred to Taiwan and Hong Kong as independent countries.
These may seem like small things, but they are parts of a much larger, long-term plan to overcome and supplant America as the world’s leading superpower.
As I wrote in my book, “President Trump’s concept of Making America Great Again (and now Keeping America Great) is simply incompatible with General Secretary Xi’s China Dream. One or the other will ultimately define the future of the human race.”
This is a serious competition. If we lose, America as we know it could be submerged by a totalitarian dictatorship.
