  36. Get enough security and get Joe and Kamala installed.
  37. The following are POTUS TRUMP’S WORDS:
  38. Media will not show the magnitude of this crowd.
  39. Even I, when I turned on today, I looked, and I saw thousands of people here, but you don’t see hundreds of thousands of people behind you because they don’t want to show that.
  40. We have hundreds of thousands of people here, and I just want them to be recognized by the fake news media. 
  41. Turn your cameras, please, and show what is really happening out here, because these people are not going to take it any longer, they’re not going to take it any longer.
  42. Go ahead, turn your cameras, please.
  43. Would you show they came from all over the world actually, but they came from all over our country.
  44. I just really want to see what they do.
  45. I just want to see how they cover it.
  46. I’ve never seen anything like it, but it would be really great if we could be covered fairly by the media.
  47. The media is the biggest problem we have as far as I’m concerned, single biggest problem.
  48. The fake news and the big tech, big tech, is now coming into their own.
  49. We beat them four years ago, we surprised them.
  50. We took him by surprise and this year they rigged an election, they rigged it like they have never rigged an election before, and by the way, last night, they didn’t do a bad job either, if you notice.
  51. I am honest, and I just again, I want to thank you.
  52. It’s just a great honor to have this kind of crowd and to be before you and hundreds of thousands of American patriots who are committed to the honesty of our elections and the integrity of our glorious Republic.
  53. All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by bold and radical left Democrats, which is what they are doing, and stolen by the fake news media.
  54. That is what they have done and what they are doing.
  55. We will never give up.
  56. We will never concede.
  57. It doesn’t happen.
  58. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved.
  59. Our country has had enough. 
  60. We will not take it anymore, and that is what this is all about.
  61. And to use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with, we will stop the steal.
  62. Today I will lay out just some of the evidence proving that we won this election and we won it by a landslide.
  63. This was not a close election.
  64. You know I say sometimes jokingly, but there’s no joke about it.
  65. I have been in two elections.
  66. I won them both and the second one I won much bigger than the first, okay?
  67. Almost 75 million people voted for our campaign, the most of any incumbent president by far in the history of our country; 12 million more than four years ago.
  68. And I was told by the real pollsters; we do have real pollsters.
  69. They know that we were going to do well and we were going to win.
  70. What I was told, if I went from 63 million, which we had four years ago, to 66 million, there was no chance of losing.
  71. Well, we didn’t go to 66, we went to 75 million, and they say we lost.
  72. We didn’t lose.
  73. And by the way, does anybody believe that Joe had 80 million votes?
  74. Does anybody believe that?
  75. He had 80 million computer votes.
  76. It’s a disgrace.
  77. There’s never been anything like that.
  78. You can take Third World countries, just take a look, take Third World countries, their elections are more honest than what we have been going through in this country.
  79. It’s a disgrace.
  80. It’s a disgrace.
  81. Even when you look at last night, they were all running around like chickens with their heads cut off with boxes, and nobody knows what the hell is going on.
  82. There’s never been anything like this.
  83. We will not let them silence your voices.
  84. We’re not going to let it happen.
  85. Not going to let it happen.
  86. Thank you.
  87. And I would love to have, if those tens of thousands of people would be allowed, the military, the Secret Service and we want to thank you — and the police and law enforcement — great, you’re doing a great job.
  88. But I would love it if they could be allowed to come up with us. Is that possible?
  89. Can you just let them, please?
  90. And Rudy [Giuliani], you did a great job.
  91. He’s got guts.
  92. You know what?
  93. He’s got guts, unlike a lot of people in the Republican Party, he’s got guts, he fights, he fights.
  94. [How did Rudy fight? He filed lawsuits and addressed legislatures and the public.]
  95. And I will tell you thank you very much, John [Eastman], fantastic job. I watched — that’s a tough act to follow those two.
  96. John is one of the most brilliant lawyers in the country and he looked at this, and he said what an absolute disgrace that this could be happening to our Constitution, and he looked at Mike Pence, and I hope Mike is going to do the right thing.
  97. I hope so.
  98. I hope so because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election.
  99. All he has to do — all — this is — this is from the number one or certainly one of the top constitutional lawyers in our country.
  100. He has the absolute right to do it.
  101. We’re supposed to protect our country, support our country, support our Constitution and protect our Constitution.
  102. States want to revote, the states got defrauded.
  103. They were given false information, they voted on it.
  104. Now they want to recertify; they want it back.
  105. All Vice President Pence has to do is send it back to the states to recertify, and we become president, and you are the happiest people.
  106. And I actually, I just spoke to Mike. 
  107. I said, Mike, that doesn’t take courage, what takes courage is to do nothing.
  108. That takes courage, and then we are stuck with a president who lost the election by a lot, and we have to live with that for four more years.
  109. We’re just not going to let that happen.
  110. Many of you have traveled from all across the nation to be here, and I want to thank you for the extraordinary love.
  111. That is what it is; there’s never been a movement like this ever, ever for the extraordinary love for this amazing country.
  112. And this amazing movement.
  113. Thank you.
  114. By the way, this goes all the way back past the Washington Monument.
  115. Do you believe this? Look at this.
  116. Unfortunately, they gave the press the prime seats.
  117. I can’t stand that.
  118. No, but you look at that behind.
  119. I wish they would flip those cameras and look behind you.
  120. That is the most amazing site.
  121. When they make a mistake, you get to see it on television, amazing. Amazing.
  122. All of the way back and don’t worry.
  123. We will not take the name off the Washington Monument.
  124. We will not.
  125. Cancel culture.
  126. They wanted to get rid of the Jefferson Memorial, either take it down or just put somebody else in there.
  127. I don’t think that’s going to happen.
  128. It damn well better not, even though with this administration if this happens, it could happen.
  129. You will see some really bad things happen.
  130. They will knock out Lincoln, too, by the way.
  131. They have been taking his statute down, but then we signed a little law, you hurt our monuments, you hurt our heroes, you go to jail for 10 years, and everything stopped.
  132. You notice that it stopped?
  133. It all stopped, and they could use Rudy back in New York City, Rudy.
  134. They could use you.
  135. Your city is going to hell.
  136. They want Rudy Giuliani back in New York.
  137. We will get a little younger version of Rudy.
  138. Is that okay, Rudy?
  139. We’re gathered together in the heart of our nation’s capital for one very, very basic and simple reason, to save our democracy.
  140. You know most candidates on election evening, and of course, this thing goes on so long they still don’t have any idea what the votes are.
  141. We still have congressional seats under review.
  142. They have no idea.
  143. They have totally lost control;
  144. they have used the pandemic as a way of defrauding the people in a proper election,
  145. but you know, you know when you see this and when you see what is happening, number one they all say, sir, we will never let it happen again. I said that’s good, but what about eight weeks ago?
  146. You know they try and get you to go, they say, sir, in four years you are guaranteed.
  147. I said, I’m not interested right now.
  148. Do me a favor. Go back eight weeks.
  149. I want to go back eight weeks.
  150. Let’s go back eight weeks.
  151. We want to go back, and we want to get this right, because we’re going to have somebody in there that should not be in there, and our country will be destroyed. And we’re not going to stand for that.
  152. For years, Democrats have gotten away with election fraud and weak Republicans.
  153. And that’s what they are.
  154. There’s so many weak Republicans.
  155. And we have great ones.
  156. Jim Jordan and some of these guys, they are out there fighting.
  157. The House guys are fighting, but it’s — it’s incredible.
  158. Many of the Republicans, I helped them get in.
  159. I helped them get elected.
  160. I helped Mitch get elected. I helped —
  161. I could name 24 of them, let’s say. I won’t bore you with it.
  162. And then all of a sudden, you have something like this.
  163. There is like oh, gee, maybe I’ll talk to the president sometime later.
  164. No, it’s amazing.
  165. The weak Republicans.
  166. They’re pathetic Republicans, and that’s what happens.
  167. If this happened to the Democrats, there’d be hell all over the country going on.
  168. There’d be hell all over the country. 
  169. But just remember this, you’re stronger, you’re smarter.
  170. You’ve got more going than anybody, and they try and demean everybody having to do with us, and you’re the real people.
  171. You’re the people that built this nation.
  172. You’re not the people that tore down our nation.
  173. The weak Republicans — and that’s it, I really believe it.
  174. I think I’m going to use the term.
  175. The weak Republicans.
  176. You’ve got a lot of them and you’ve got a lot of great ones.
  177. But you’ve got a lot of weak ones.
  178. They’ve turned a blind eye.
  179. Even as Democrats enacted policies that
  180. shipped away our jobs,
  181. weakened our military,
  182. threw open our borders,
  183. and put America last.
  184. Did you see the other day where Joe Biden said I want to get rid of the America-first policy.
  185.  What’s that all about?
  186. Get rid of — how do you say I want to get rid of America first?
  187. Even if you’re going to do it, don’t talk about it, right?
  188. Unbelievable, what we have to go through.
  189. What we have to go through — and you have to get your people to fight.
  190. And if they don’t fight, we have to primary the hell out of the ones that don’t fight. We primary them.
  191. We’re going to — we’re going to let you know who they are.
  192. I can already tell you, frankly.
  193. But this year, using the pretext of the China virus and the scam of mail-in ballots, Democrats attempted the most brazen and outrageous election theft.
  194. And there’s never been anything like this.
  195. It’s a pure theft in American history.
  196. Everybody knows it.
  197. That election, our election was over at 10 in the evening.
  198. We’re leading Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia.
  199. By hundreds of thousands of votes, and then late in the evening or early in the morning, boom. 
  200. These explosions of bullshit, and all of the sudden —all of a sudden, it started to happen.
  201. Don’t forget, when Romney got beat — Romney. Did you see his —
  202. I wonder if he enjoyed his flight in last night.
  203. But when Romney got beat, you know, he stands up like your more typical — well, I’d like to congratulate the victor.
  204. The victor.
  205. Who was the victor, Mitt?
  206. I’d like to congratulate.
  207. They don’t go in and look at the facts.
  208. Oh, I don’t know. You’ve got — he got slaughtered, probably.
  209. Maybe it was okay, maybe it was — that’s what happened.

Nancy and Chuck, stop the impeachment insane waste of our time and money and energy. You have no case. You are trying to manufacture a case when there isn’t one. Get on with the inauguration. Focus Nancy. Be a stateswoman. Focus Chuck. Be a statesman. Make sure there is enough security and get Joe and Kamala sworn in a few days from now.

We surmise there are a number of angry democrat and republican voters who support POTUS TRUMP! BARREL & PORK.

PORK, I understand there are an overwhelming number of angry democrat and republican PRO-TRUMP voters out there.


Yes, BARREL. those angry voters, republicans and democrats and independents, know that POTUS TRUMP and his family have been abused to an intolerable level by the democrats Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, Schumer and others.


In greater detail,

1.       Angry voters find Schiff, Nadler, Schumer, Pelosi are at best Boring.

2.       Angry voters find them Repetitive and Tedious.

3.       Angry voters find them to be amateurs and anything but professional.

4.       Angry voters are overwhelmingly tired of this one-sided democrat partisan hit job on POTUS TRUMP and his family.

5.       Angry voters hold the democrats accountable for spending $40 million plus in worthless investigations and hearings and for wasting the time and energy of the congress which could have dealt with infrastructure and the southern border wall and other measures helpful to FREEDOM, SAFETY, and PROSPERITY.

6.       Angry voters want to be happy and they know the democrats are responsible for making them and the country unhappy.

7.       Angry voters know life is going on tomorrow.

8.       Angry voters know the sun is going to come up.

9.       Angry voters know they are going to take care of what’s important in their lives.

10.   Angry voters know the impeachment outcome is not in doubt but such is no consolation.

11.   Angry voters know the GOP controls the Senate.

12.   Angry voters know the story is already written.

13.   Angry voters have their minds made up and an overwhelming majority are for POTUS TRUMP contrary to the effete democrat narrative. Given the media coverage of POTUS TRUMP, his approval rating is 80-90% not 45% as polls suggest.

14.   Angry voters know there is no possibility of removal.

15.   Angry voters know the democrats have wasted their time and their money and have trashed the country and have done nothing to help them be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS since POTUS TRUMP was elected and that the fix was in to impeach him from before his inauguration.

16.   Angry voters know the democrats have squandered $40 million plus of the nation’s money in these foolish investigations and hearings.

17.   Angry voters know the DNC should pay back the country far in excess of $40 million for their impeachment perfidy wrongfully and illegally foisted off on the American people.

18.   Angry voters know the democrats have no facts while the republican factual arguments have blown the Schiff Nadler democrat emotional arguments out of the water.

19.   Angry voters know the trial will end in acquittal.

20.   Angry voters know that the democrats conducted an illegal impeachment.

21.   Angry voters have fallen asleep during the democrat Schiff Nadler droning arguments and that there is no need for added witnesses to prolong the partisan charade.

22.   Angry voters know that it is a blatant lie that Schiff Nadler competently and legally conducted themselves during House impeachment hearings or Senate. They know that Schiff Nadler Pelosi Schumer have done nothing for their constituencies or the nation in general to help them be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS since POTUS was elected.

23.   Angry voters know the media is likewise skewed dramatically against POTUS Trump.

24.   Angry voters know that Joe Biden and his son and family are corrupt and that Joe and his family wrongfully took vast sums of money and that Joe failed miserably in his duties as Vice President and cannot show where he has helped us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.

25.   Angry voters know also that Joe Biden was complicit in all of the ill done by POTUS OBAMA and that “the Obama administration” is a euphemism and that POTUS Obama and Joe were responsible for all the negative produced during the Obama years.

26.   https://www.breitbart.com/news/in-divided-america-some-voters-tuning-out-impeachment-trial/

27.   Angry voters are yelling at Adam Schiff (D-CA), telling him to “move to Venezuela.”

28.   Angry voters know Adam Schiff is a liar having lied repeatedly making up lies about POTUS Trump, lying to the Congres and the American people.

29.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP did not abuse his power and was well within his rights to ask for an investigation of the corruption of the Bidens and many other politicians who have had their hands in the Ukrainian and China and other foreign and domestic tills stealing money for their personal and their campaign use. The Sweizer book Profiles in Corruption and Rudy Giuliani disclosures of Biden and other corruption are but the tip of the iceberg.

30.   Angry voters are highly incensed that those in high places who have enriched themselves at the expense of the voters have not been indicted and shamed and where law was violated jailed for their perfidy. Will AG BILL BARR please stand up and be counted?

31.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP did not withhold aid from Ukraine unless the investigation of the Bidens and others took place.

32.   Angry voters also know POTUS TRUMP did not obstruct Congress by blocking documents and witnesses unlawfully. They know the minority was denied due process including right to litigate differences of opinion while the democrat majority rushed to impeach before Christmas.

33.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP has been denied due process by Schiff Nadler Pelosi throughout the House impeachment activities.

34.   https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/01/26/impeachment-protester-yells-adam-schiff-move-venezuela/

35.   Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP has not committed a high crime or misdemeanor and that Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have fallen abjectly short of the standard need to convict POTUS TRUMP let alone remove POTUS TRUMP from office.

36.   Angry voters know that the republican minority has the facts while all Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler have is conjecture, generalities, suppositions, mind reading drivel, and no impeachable offenses.

37.   Angry voters know there has not been a constitutionally authorized bi-partisan impeachment of POTUS TRUMP.

38.   Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP has done nothing of a criminal nature.

39.   Angry voters know the democrats cannot prove abuse of power.

40.   Angry voters know the democrats cannot prove obstruction of congress no matter how over the top maudlin Adam Schiff is during his arguments.

41.   Angry voters know the abuse of power and obstruction of Congress are precisely the arguments the framers of the Constitution rejected because partisan impeachments let the majority exercise tyranny over the minority.

42.   https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/01/26/dershowitz-house-managers-case-falls-short-of-impeachment-standard-even-if-true/

43.   Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP has shown restrain, deliberateness, and immense ability to make tough decisions and that POTUS TRUMP has saved the world millions of deaths in the matters of North Korea and Iran and otherwise, while at the same time giving the nation the best economy and stock market and more jobs for BLACKS, HISPANICS, ASIANS, NATIVE AMERICANS, and WHITES than in the history of our country.

44.   Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP made the right call to kill Iranian Quds Force leader Qasem Soeimani and that POTUS TRUMP’S decisive approach has prevented a major war with Iran.

45.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP consults with his cabinet, asks for intelligence, takes the opinion of his leadership, takes a very calculated and measured response over time.

46.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is methodical and calm and asks lots of questions and updates before he jumps to conclusions.

47.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is properly advised and that there is a process to present POTUS TRUMP with options and the risks and ladder of escalation associated with each situation.

48.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is highly involved in the process when it comes to decisions that involve potential loss of American lives or even the lives of adversaries.

49.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP likes differing points of view, wants debate, wants to see the debate.

50.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP relies on intelligence and relied on intelligence that Soleimani was planning a major attack.

51.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP has kept more campaign promises than any previous POTUS while the democrats have kept but one which was to impeach POTUS TRUMP.

52.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is not like Joe Biden at all. Joe has enriched himself and his family in Ukraine, China, and elsewhere while making decisions contrary to the good of the country. POTUS TRUMP has done more to help America be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS than the democrats hoped of doing.

53.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP was not erratic in responding to Iran.

54.   Angry voters know Soleimani was taken out because Iran conducted a series of provocative actions against the U.S. and its allies including 11 rocket attacks on installations in Iraq where U.S. forces were present, including attack on oil plants in Saudi Arabia that took out half of the oil output, including seizure of a United Kingdom ship, including attacks on Japanese and Norwegian oil tankers, and shooting down of a U.S. drone.

55.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP chose economic sanctions but that POTUS TRUMP’s patience ran out after Iranian-backed forces targeted and killed an American contractor and wounded four American service members.

56.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP has been patient and that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has told the truth.

57.   Angry voters know that when an Iranian Shia militia rocket attack killed the American contractor and wounded U.S. troops in Iraq, POTUS TRUMP was presented a list of options, and only then did POTUS TRUMP authorize airstrikes against Shia militia targets, including weapons storage facilities and command posts used to attack U.S. and coalition forces, and killing about two dozen militia fighters.

58.   Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP said “Iran will be held fully responsible for lives lost, or damage incurred, at any of our facilities. They will pay a very BIG PRICE! This is not a Warning, it is a Threat. Happy New Year!”

59.   Angry voters know that criticism from the left which has been swift and loud was unfounded, that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) criticism was “reckless,” “impulsive,” with no planning or forethought and that her response was in fact fiction.

60.   Angry voters know that the democrats are politically motivated and that they do not care for us the voters and that the democrat criticisms are not patriotic, keeping in mind that the Iran counterattacks resulted in structural damage, but did not kill any Americans or Iraquis.

61.   Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP called for Iran to return to the negotiating table on its illicit nuclear program.

62.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is a statesman while Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, and Schumer are politically effete, having done nothing for their constituencies and nothing for the country, and that the four should be voted and drummed out of congress for their waste of $40 million dollars on the failed Mueller Report and their many other failed, unproven “collusion with the Russians” and “obstruction of justice” wild accusations against POTUS TRUMP.

63.   Angry voters know former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Obama Adm. (Ret.) Sandy Winnefield wrote in the Hill: “Whether one agrees with the elimination of General Qassem Soleimani as the correct means of signaling Iran, it was an important statement that a new red line is in effect. … Now Iran (and presumably other self-alienated states) have been served notice that they will be held more directly accountable for the actions of their proxies, particularly when those actions result in the death of an American.”

64.   Angry voters know Obama National Security Adviser Marine Gen. (Ret.) Jim Jones said at a recent forum, “What the administration did in the Soeimani case is absolutely correct. I think it’s the right thing to do.”

65.   Angry voters know Reuel Marc Gerecht, former C.I.A. specialist on Iran at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies is right – He’s (POTUS TRUMP’S) not a strategist. But his tactical game hasn’t been bad. The hit on Suleimani was genius – totally flummoxed his opponent,

66.   Angry voters know that democrat and republican opponents who portray POTUS TRUMP as an erratic decision-maker do not know what they are talking about and that the evidence does not support that contention.

67.   Angry voters know POTUS Obama for eight years was paralyzed by fear of adverse consequences and therefore did nothing.

68.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is more precise and disciplined that either POTUS OBAMA or POTUS George W. Bush hoped to be.

Joe Biden and Adam Schiff are political toast. This is our takeaway from the Impeachment first day of POTUS TRUMP’S LAWYERS’ REBUTTAL. BARREL & PORK.

After the first day of the Impeachment Defense by POTUS TRUMP’S lawyers, it looks like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the democrats are still playing in the minor leagues and have boomerang stepped in it again and have egg on their faces, PORK. Only this time, POTUS TRUMP played for keeps. There is “no collusion” and “no obstruction” and “no corruption” and Adam Schiff lied multiple times and POTUS TRUMP is vindicated once again and Joe Biden is corrupt and has enriched five of his family and himself while misusing his office according to Peter Sweizer and Joe along with Adam are political toast and Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren or Mike Bloomberg will be the nominee. It’s a done deal.

How so, BARREL? If that is true, it sounds like Nancy Pelosi is working for POTUS Trump.

She is, PORK. Instead of having her ducks in a row they have all drowned.

Keep in mind, the Senate Democrats sent a letter to Ukraine in May of 2018 leaning on Ukraine to investigate POTUS TRUMP. Read this at https://townhall.com/tipsheet/timothymeads/2019/09/25/dems-sent-letter-to-ukraine-asking-for-investigation-to-trump-n2553705

Hypocrites: Senate Dems Sent Letter Pressuring Ukraine To Investigate Trump In May 2018
  1. “If you have not learned by now, … every Conservative “scandal” in recent memory has been nothing more than leftists projecting their own personal problems [and sins and crimes] onto their political opponents.
  2. “Sexism and abuse against women? Meet Bill Clinton and Harvey Weinstein.
  3. “Racism? Meet the blackface donning Gov. Ralph Northam and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
  4. [Collusion with the Russians? Meet Hillary Clinton and her cronies and collaborators.]
  5. [Obstruction of Justice? Meet Hillary and Comey and their cronies and collaborators.]
  6. “Trump pressuring Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election? [It didn’t happen.] Meet the Democrats in May 2018 [and the House Adam Schiff Impeachment charade of the last few days].
  7. “Yes, the very same Democrats who are now supposedly aghast that President Trump asked the president of Ukraine to look into Joe Biden’s family corruption and China corruption wherein Joe and Hunter banked $1+ billion,
  8. “[yes, the very same Democrats] actually sent Ukraine a letter saying “U.S. assistance” was at stake unless the Ukrainian government complied with the bogus special counsel Robert Mueller investigation and conducted their own investigation into the president and his former aid Paul Manafort.
  9. “Marc Theissen of the Washington Post brought this up yesterday, and after seeing what the president actually said in his call to the newly elected president Volodymyr Zelensky, it looks like the Democrats have nothing but egg on their face [AGAIN]. 

8. “Here’s what Theissen reported Tuesday: 

9. “It got almost no attention, but in May, CNN reported that Sens. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) and Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) wrote a letter to Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Yuriy Lutsenko, expressing concern at the closing of four investigations they said were critical to the Mueller probe.

10. “In the letter, they implied that their support for U.S. assistance to Ukraine was at stake.

11. “Describing themselves as “strong advocates for a robust and close relationship with Ukraine,” the Democratic senators declared, “We have supported [the] capacity-building process and are disappointed that some in Kyiv appear to have cast aside these [democratic] principles to avoid the ire of President Trump,” before demanding Lutsenko “reverse course and halt any efforts to impede cooperation with this important investigation.”

12. “So, it’s okay for Democratic senators to encourage Ukraine to investigate Trump, but it’s [hypocritically] not okay for the president to allegedly encourage Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden?

13. ” … The letter clearly shows they were threatening to withhold assistance unless the Ukrainian government did as they demanded. Between this uncovered letter and former Vice President Joe Biden bragging about intimidating the Ukrainian prosecutor, this whole thing is boomeranging on the Dems. Here comes Trump 2020, folks, steamrolling into the White House (again). 

14. As well, “Recommended BREAKING: President Trump’s Ukraine Call Transcript Has Been Released and Blows Up the Latest Impeachment Narrative Katie Pavlich

15. “Steve Guest@SteveGuest [Steve gets credit for a great note.]

16. “FLASHBACK to 2018 byYouTubing Joe Biden bragged about bribing Ukraine with $1 BILLION to fire the prosecutor who was investigating his son, Hunter Biden and the company Burisma – HB was on its board.

17. FLASH FOREWARD to the recently released Profiles in Corruption a book by Peter Sweizer setting forth Joe Biden’s corruption.

Yup, Joe Biden and Adam Schiff, who incidentally is up for reelection in his California district after having done nothing for his district rather choosing to spend his time lying about POTUS TRUMP and grandstanding, these two corrupt people are political toast.

18. Either Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders or Mike Bloomberg will be the nominees.

Spot on, BARREL. Spot on.

259.        A MERIT-BASED IMMIGRATION SYSTEM WILL SAVE COUNTLESS DOLLARS. “it will save countless dollars,

260.        IT WILL RAISE WORKERS’ WAGES. “raise workers’ wages, and

261.        IT WILL HELP STRUGGLING FAMILIES. “help struggling families –-

262.        IT WILL HELP IMMIGRANT FAMILIES AS WELL. “including immigrant families –-

263.        IT WILL HELP OUR PEOPLE ENTER THE MIDDLE CLASS. “enter the middle class.

264.        I WILL IMPLEMENT ANOTHER GREAT NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM LIKE PRESIDENT EISENHOWER DID. “Another Republican President, Dwight D. Eisenhower, initiated the last truly great national infrastructure program –- the building of the interstate highway system. 

265.        WE WILL REBUILD OUR NATION. “The time has come for a new program of national rebuilding.

266.        AMERICA HAS SPENT 6 TRILLION DOLLARS IN THE MIDDLE EAST WHILE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE IS CRUMBLING. THIS MUST STOP IMMEDIATELY. “America has spent approximately six trillion dollars in the Middle East, all this while our infrastructure at home is crumbling. 

267.        WITH 6 TRILLION DOLLARS WE COULD HAVE REBUILT AMERICA TWICE. “With this six trillion dollars we could have rebuilt our country –- twice. 

268.        WITH 6 TRILLION DOLLARS WE COULD HAVE REBUILT AMERICA THREE TIMES USING PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO NEGOTIATE. “And maybe even three times if we had people who had the ability to negotiate.

269.        I ASK CONGRESS TO APPROVE A $1 TRILLION INVESTMENT IN THE UNITED STATES INFRASTRUCTURE. “To launch our national rebuilding, I will be asking the Congress to approve legislation that produces a $1 trillion investment in the infrastructure of the United States –

270.        FINANCING WILL COME FROM PUBLIC AND PRIVATE CAPITAL. “financed through both public and private capital –-

271.        THIS WILL CREATE MILLIONS OF NEW JOBS. “creating millions of new jobs.

272.        THIS EFFORT WILL BE GUIDED BY TWO PRINCIPLES. “This effort will be guided by two core principles:  

273.        BUY AMERICAN. “Buy American, and

274.        HIRE AMERICAN. “Hire American.

275.        I ASK CONGRESS TO REPEAL OBAMACARE NOW. “Tonight, I am also calling on this Congress to repeal

276.        I ASK CONGRESS TO REPLACE OBAMACARE NOW. “and replace

277.        Obamacare

278.        I ASK CONGRESS TO REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE NOW WITH REFORMS THAT EXPAND CHOICE. “with reforms that expand choice,

279.        I ASK CONGRESS TO REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE NOW WITH REFORMS THAT INCREASE ACCESS. “increase access,

280.        I ASK CONGRESS TO REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE NOW WITH REFORMS THAT LOWER COSTS NOW. “lower costs,

281.        I ASK CONGRESS TO REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE NOW WITH REFORMS THAT PROVIDE AMERICANS WITH BETTER HEALTHCARE. “and at the same time, provide better Healthcare.

282.        I ASK CONGRESS TO REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE NOW BECAUSE IT IS WRONG TO MANDATE EVERY AMERICAN MUST BUY GOVERNMENT-APPROVED HEALTH INSURANCE. THAT IS NOT THE RIGHT SOLUTION. “Mandating every American to buy government-approved health insurance was never the right solution for America. 

283.        I ASK CONGRESS TO REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE NOW AND IN THE PROCESS MAKE HEALTH CARE INSURANCE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE BY LOWERING THE COST OF HEALTH INSURANCE. “The way to make health insurance available to everyone is to lower the cost of health insurance,

284.        I AM COMMITTED. THAT IS WHAT WE WILL DO. “and that is what we will do.

285.        OBAMACARE PREMIUMS NATIONWIDE HAVE INCREASED DOUBLE AND TRIPLE DIGITS. “Obamacare premiums nationwide have increased by double and triple digits.

286.         ARIZONA PREMIUMS WENT UP 116 PERCENT LAST YEAR ALONE. “As an example, Arizona went up 116 percent last year alone.

287.        OBAMACARE IS FAILING IN KENTUCKY. “Governor Matt Bevin of Kentucky just said Obamacare is failing in his State –

288.        OBAMACARE IS UNSUSTAINABLE AND COLLAPSING. “it is unsustainable and collapsing.

289.        ONE THIRD OF COUNTIES HAVE BUT ONE INSURER. “One third of counties have only one insurer on the exchanges –-

290.        MANY AMERICANS HAVE NO CHOICE WHATSOEVER. “leaving many Americans with no choice at all.

291.        POTUS OBAMA TOLD YOU THAT YOU COULD KEEP YOUR DOCTOR AND KEEP YOUR PLAN. “Remember when you were told that you could keep your doctor, and keep your plan?

292.        HE KNEW BETTER AND BROKE HIS PROMISES. “We now know that all of those promises have been broken.

293.        OBAMACARE IS COLLAPSING. “Obamacare is collapsing –-

294.        CONGRESS MUST ACT DECISIVELY TO PROTECT ALL AMERICANS. “and we must act decisively to protect all Americans. 

295.        I SAY TO CONGRESS, ACTION IS NOT A CHOICE. IT IS A NECESSITY. “Action is not a choice –- it is a necessity.

296.        I CALL ON DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS TO WORK WITH MY ADMINISTRATION TO SAVE AMERICANS FROM THIS IMPLODING OBAMACARE DISASTER. “So I am calling on all Democrats and Republicans in the Congress to work with us to save Americans from this imploding Obamacare disaster.

297.        THESE PRINCIPLES MUST GUIDE PROVIDING BETTER HEALTHCARE FOR ALL AMERICANS. “Here are the principles that should guide the Congress as we move to create a better healthcare system for all Americans:

298.        THOSE WITH PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS MUST HAVE ACCESS TO COVERAGE. “First, we should ensure that Americans with pre-existing conditions have access to coverage,

299.        THERE MUST BE A STABLE TRANSITION FOR AMERICANS CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN HEALTHCARE EXCHANGES. “and that we have a stable transition for Americans currently enrolled in the healthcare exchanges.

300.        WE MUST HELP AMERICANS PURCHASE THEIR OWN COVERAGE. “Secondly, we should help Americans purchase their own coverage,

301.        WE MUST DO SO THROUGH TAX CREDITS. “through the use of tax credits

302.        WE MUST DO SO THROUGH EXPANDED HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNTS. “and expanded Health Savings Accounts –-

303.        THE PLAN MUST BE THE PLAN THE PEOPLE WANT. “but it must be the plan they want,

304.        THE PLAN, UNLIKE OBAMACARE, MUST NOT BE FORCED ON THE PEOPLE BY THE GOVERNMENT. “not the plan forced on them by the Government.

305.        STATE GOVERNORS MUST MEET NEED WITH MEDICAID SO NO ONE IS LEFT OUT. “Thirdly, we should give our great State Governors the resources and flexibility they need with Medicaid to make sure no one is left out.

306.        LEGAL REFORMS MUST PROTECT PATIENTS AND DOCTORS FROM UNNECESSARY COSTS THAT DRIVE THE PRICE OF INSURANCE UP. “Fourthly, we should implement legal reforms that protect patients and doctors from unnecessary costs that drive up the price of insurance –

307.        LEGAL REFORMS MUST PROTECT OUR PEOPLE FROM ARTIFICIALLY HIGH PRICE OF DRUGS. “and work to bring down the artificially high price of drugs

308.        LEGAL REFORMS MUST MANDATE THAT ARTIFICIALLY HIGH PRICES OF DRUGS BE BROUGHT DOWN IMMEDIATELY. “and bring them down immediately.

309.        AMERICANS MUST BE PERMITTED TO BUY HEALTH INSURANCE ACROSS STATE LINES. “Finally, the time has come to give Americans the freedom to purchase health insurance across State lines –-

310.        WE MUST CREATE A COMPETITIVE NATIONAL MARKETPLACE FOR HEALTH INSURANCE. “creating a truly competitive national marketplace

311.        NATIONWIDE COMPETITION WILL BRING COSTS DOWN. “that will bring cost way down

312.        NATIONWIDE COMPETITION WILL PROVIDE FAR BETTER CARE. “and provide far better care.

313.        ALL THAT IS BROKEN IN OUR COUNTRY CAN BE FIXED. “Everything that is broken in our country can be fixed. 

314.        ALL PROBLEMS CAN BE SOLVED. “Every problem can be solved. 

315.        ALL HURTING FAMILIES CAN FIND HEALING AND HOPE. “And every hurting family can find healing, and hope.

316.        OUR AMERICAN CITIZENS DESERVE THIS AND MORE. “Our citizens deserve this, and so much more –-

317.        I ASK DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS TO JOIN FORCES TO GET THIS DONE NOW. “so why not join forces to finally get it done?  

318.        I ASK DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS TO GET TOGETHER, TO UNITE, FOR THE GOOD OF AMERICA AND ITS PEOPLE. “On this and so many other things, Democrats and Republicans should get together and unite for the good of our country, and for the good of the American people.

319.        MY ADMINISTRATION WILL WORK WITH BOTH PARTIES. “My administration wants to work with members in both parties

320.        WE WILL DO SO TO MAKE CHILDCARE ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE. “to make childcare accessible and affordable,

321.        WE WILL DO SO TO HELP ENSURE NEW PARENTS HAVE PAID FAMILY LEAVE. “to help ensure new parents have paid family leave,

322.        WE WILL DO SO TO INVEST IN WOMEN’S HEALTH. “to invest in women’s health,

323.        WE WILL DO SO TO PROMOTE CLEAN AIR AND CLEAR WATER. “and to promote clean air and clear water,

324.        WE WILL DO SO TO REBUILD OUR MILITARY. “and to rebuild our military

325.        WE WILL DO SO TO REBUILD OUR INFRASTRUCTURE. “and our infrastructure.

326.        TRUE LOVE FOR OUR AMERICAN PEOPLE MANDATES THAT WE FIND COMMON GROUND. “True love for our people requires us to find common ground,

327.        TRUE LOVE FOR OUR AMERICAN PEOPLE MANDATES THAT WE ADVANCE THE COMMON GOOD. “to advance the common good,

328.        TRUE LOVE FOR OUR AMERICAN PEOPLE MANDATES THAT WE COOPERATE ON BEHALF OF EVERY AMERICAN CHILD BECAUSE EACH DESERVES A BRIGHTER FUTURE. “and to cooperate on behalf of every American child who deserves a brighter future.

329.        INCREDIBLE MEGAN CROWLEY IS WITH US TODAY. An incredible young woman is with us this evening who should serve as an inspiration to us all. Today is Rare Disease day, and joining us in the gallery is a Rare Disease Survivor, Megan Crowley.  Megan was diagnosed with Pompe Disease, a rare and serious illness, when she was 15 months old.  She was not expected to live past 5. On receiving this news, Megan’s dad, John, fought with everything he had to save the life of his precious child.  He founded a company to look for a cure, and helped develop the drug that saved Megan’s life.  Today she is 20 years old – and a sophomore at Notre Dame. Megan’s story is about the unbounded power of a father’s love for a daughter. 

330.        FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION APPROVAL PROCESSES MUST BE ACCELERATED NOW. “But our slow and burdensome approval process at the Food and Drug Administration keeps too many advances, like the one that saved Megan’s life, from reaching those in need. If we slash the restraints, not just at the FDA but across our Government, then we will be blessed with far more miracles like Megan.


331.        WE MUST ENRICH THE MIND AND SOUL OF EACH AMERICAN CHILD. I ASK MEMBERS OF BOTH PARTIES TO PASS AN EDUCATION BILL THAT FUNDS SCHOOL CHOICE TO PUBLIC, PRIVATE, CHARTER, MAGNET, RELIGIOUS, OR HOME SCHOOL FOR ALL YOUTH, FOR DISADVANTAGED YOUTH, INCLUDING MILLIONS OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND LATINO CHILDREN. “In fact, our children will grow up in a Nation of miracles. But to achieve this future, we must enrich the mind –- and the souls –- of every American child. Education is the civil rights issue of our time. I am calling upon Members of both parties to pass an education bill that funds school choice for disadvantaged youth, including millions of African-American and Latino children.  These families should be free to choose the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school that is right for them.

332.        DENISHA MERRIWEATHER IS WITH US TONIGHT. WE MUST BREAK THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE IN ORDER TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY. “Joining us tonight in the gallery is a remarkable woman, Denisha Merriweather.  As a young girl, Denisha struggled in school and failed third grade twice. But then she was able to enroll in a private center for learning, with the help of a tax credit scholarship program. Today, she is the first in her family to graduate, not just from high school, but from college.  Later this year she will get her masters degree in social work. We want all children to be able to break the cycle of poverty just like Denisha. But to break the cycle of poverty, we must also break the cycle of violence.

333.        THE MURDER RATE IS HORRIFIC. MORE THAN 4,000 PEOPLE WERE SHOT IN CHICAGO LAST YEAR. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. “The murder rate in 2015 experienced its largest single-year increase in nearly half a century. In Chicago, more than 4,000 people were shot last year alone –- and the murder rate so far this year has been even higher. This is not acceptable in our society.

334.        EVERY AMERICAN CHILD MUST BE ABLE TO GROW UP IN A SAFE COMMUNITY, ATTEND A GREAT SCHOOL, AND HAVE ACCESS TO A HIGH-PAYING JOB. “Every American child should be able to grow up in a safe community, to attend a great school, and to have access to a high-paying job.

335.        WE MUST WORK WITH THE MEN AND WOMEN OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. “But to create this future, we must work with –- not against -– the men and women of law enforcement.

336.        WE MUST BUILD BRIDGES OF COOPERATION AND TRUST WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. “We must build bridges of cooperation and trust –-

337.        WE MUST NOT DRIVE THE WEDGE OF DISUNITY AND DIVISION. “not drive the wedge of disunity and division.

338.        WE MUST HONOR AND SUPPORT OUR POLICE AND SHERIFFS. “Police and sheriffs are members of our community. They are friends and neighbors, they are mothers and fathers, sons and daughters – and they leave behind loved ones every day who worry whether or not they’ll come home safe and sound. We must support the incredible men and women of law enforcement.

339.        WE MUST SUPPORT VICTIMS OF CRIME. “And we must support the victims of crime.

340.        I HAVE ORDERED THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY TO CREATE AN OFFICE TO SERVE AMERICAN VICTIMS. I WILL NOT FORGET THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN KILLED BY AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD. ‘I have ordered the Department of Homeland Security to create an office to serve American Victims. The office is called VOICE –- Victims Of Immigration Crime Engagement. We are providing a voice to those who have been ignored by our media, and silenced by special interests. Joining us in the audience tonight are four very brave Americans whose government failed them. Their names are Jamiel Shaw, Susan Oliver, Jenna Oliver, and Jessica Davis. Jamiel’s 17-year-old son was viciously murdered by an illegal immigrant gang member, who had just been released from prison. Jamiel Shaw Jr. was an incredible young man, with unlimited potential who was getting ready to go to college where he would have excelled as a great quarterback.  But he never got the chance. His father, who is in the audience tonight, has become a good friend of mine. Also with us are Susan Oliver and Jessica Davis. Their husbands –- Deputy Sheriff Danny Oliver and Detective Michael Davis –- were slain in the line of duty in California. They were pillars of their community. These brave men were viciously gunned down by an illegal immigrant with a criminal record and two prior deportations. Sitting with Susan is her daughter, Jenna. Jenna:  I want you to know that your father was a hero, and that tonight you have the love of an entire country supporting you and praying for you. To Jamiel, Jenna, Susan and Jessica:  I want you to know –- we will never stop fighting for justice. Your loved ones will never be forgotten, we will always honor their memory.

341.        I AM ASKING CONGRESS TO APPROVE MY BUDGET TO PROVIDE THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WITH THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO PREVENT, FIGHT, AND WIN WAR – TO REBUILD OUR MILITARY, TO ELIMINATE THE DEFENSE SEQUESTER, TO INCREASE THE NATIONAL DEFENSE SPENDING NEEDED, AND TO FUND HELP FOR OUR VETERANS. I WILL REMEMBER, WITH ALL WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES, U.S. NAVY SPECIAL OPERATOR, SENIOR CHIEF WILLIAM “RYAN” OWENS.“Finally, to keep America Safe we must provide the men and women of the United States military with the tools they need to prevent war and –- if they must –- to fight and to win. I am sending the Congress a budget that rebuilds the military, eliminates the Defense sequester, and calls for one of the largest increases in national defense spending in American history. My budget will also increase funding for our veterans. Our veterans have delivered for this Nation –- and now we must deliver for them. The challenges we face as a Nation are great. But our people are even greater. And none are greater or braver than those who fight for America in uniform. We are blessed to be joined tonight by Carryn Owens, the widow of a U.S. Navy Special Operator, Senior Chief William “Ryan” Owens. Ryan died as he lived:  a warrior, and a hero –- battling against terrorism and securing our Nation. I just spoke to General Mattis, who reconfirmed that, and I quote, “Ryan was a part of a highly successful raid that generated large amounts of vital intelligence that will lead to many more victories in the future against our enemies.” Ryan’s legacy is etched into eternity. For as the Bible teaches us, there is no greater act of love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. Ryan laid down his life for his friends, for his country, and for our freedom –- we will never forget him.

342.        OUR FOREIGN POLICY CALLS FOR DIRECT, ROBUST, MEANINGFUL LEADERSHIP AND ENGAGEMENT WITH THE WORLD. “To those allies who wonder what kind of friend America will be, look no further than the heroes who wear our uniform. Our foreign policy calls for a direct, robust and meaningful engagement with the world. It is American leadership based on vital security interests that we share with our allies across the globe.

343.        WE SUPPORT NATO. “We strongly support NATO, an alliance forged through the bonds of two World Wars that dethroned fascism, and a Cold War that defeated communism.

344.        OUR PARTNERS IN NATO AND OTHER THEATERS MUST MEET THEIR FINANCIAL AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS. THEY MUST PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF THE COST. “But our partners must meet their financial obligations. And now, based on our very strong and frank discussions, they are beginning to do just that. We expect our partners, whether in NATO, in the Middle East, or the Pacific –-  to take a direct and meaningful role in both strategic and military operations, and pay their fair share of the cost.

345.        WE RESPECT HISTORIC INSTITUTIONS, BUT WE RESPECT SOVEREIGN RIGHTS OF NATIONS. FREE NATIONS MUST CHART THEIR OWN COURSE. “We will respect historic institutions, but we will also respect the sovereign rights of nations. Free nations are the best vehicle for expressing the will of the people –- and America respects the right of all nations to chart their own path.  

346.        I DO NOT REPRESENT THE WORLD. I REPRESENT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THAT IS MY JOB. “My job is not to represent the world. My job is to represent the United States of America.

347.        AMERICA IS BETTER OFF WHEN THERE IS LESS CONFLICT. “But we know that America is better off, when there is less conflict — not more.

348.        WE MUST LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST. “We must learn from the mistakes of the past –- we have seen the war and destruction that have raged across our world.

349.        IN THESE HUMANITARIAN DISASTERS, DISPLACED PERSONS MUST BE AFFORDED THE RIGHT AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO RETURN HOME. “The only long-term solution for these humanitarian disasters is to create the conditions where displaced persons can safely return home and begin the long process of rebuilding.

350.        AMERICA IS WILLING TO FIND NEW FRIENDS, FORGE NEW PARTNERSHIPS, WHERE SHARED INTERESTS ALIGN. AMERICA WANTS PEACE. WE WANT JUSTICE. WE WANT FREEDOM. “America is willing to find new friends, and to forge new partnerships, where shared interests align.  We want harmony and stability, not war and conflict. We want peace, wherever peace can be found. America is friends today with former enemies. Some of our closest allies, decades ago, fought on the opposite side of these World Wars. This history should give us all faith in the possibilities for a better world. Hopefully, the 250th year for America will see a world that is more peaceful, more just and more free.

351.        WE MUST SET FREE THE DREAMS OF OUR PEOPLE TO BUILD, PAINT, INVENT, CURE ILLNESSES, AND SET FOOT ON DISTANT WORLDS. “On our 100th anniversary, in 1876, citizens from across our Nation came to Philadelphia to celebrate America’s centennial. At that celebration, the country’s builders and artists and inventors showed off their creations. Alexander Graham Bell displayed his telephone for the first time. Remington unveiled the first typewriter. An early attempt was made at electric light. Thomas Edison showed an automatic telegraph and an electric pen. Imagine the wonders our country could know in America’s 250th year. Think of the marvels we can achieve if we simply set free the dreams of our people. Cures to illnesses that have always plagued us are not too much to hope. American footprints on distant worlds are not too big a dream. Millions lifted from welfare to work is not too much to expect. And streets where mothers are safe from fear – schools where children learn in peace – and jobs where Americans prosper and grow – are not too much to ask. When we have all of this, we will have made America greater than ever before.

352.        THIS IS OUR VISION AND OUR MISSION FOR ALL AMERICANS. WE ARE ONE PEOPLE. WE BLEED THE SAME BLOOD. WE SALUTE THE SAME FLAG. WE ARE MADE BY THE SAME GOD. WE CELEBRATE 250 YEARS OF GLORIOUS FREEDOM. THIS IS A NEW CHAPTER IN AMERICAN GREATNESS. THE TIME FOR SMALL THINKING IS PAST. WE NEED COURAGE. WE NEED CONFIDENCE. WE MUST BE INSPIRED BY THE FUTURE, NOT BOUND BY THE FAILURES OF THE PAST, GUIDED BY OUR VISION, NOT BLINDED BY OUR DOUBTS. “For all Americans. This is our vision. This is our mission. But we can only get there together. We are one people, with one destiny. We all bleed the same blood. We all salute the same flag. And we are all made by the same God. And when we fulfill this vision; when we celebrate our 250 years of glorious freedom, we will look back on tonight as when this new chapter of American Greatness began. The time for small thinking is over. The time for trivial fights is behind us. We just need the courage to share the dreams that fill our hearts. The bravery to express the hopes that stir our souls. And the confidence to turn those hopes and dreams to action. From now on, America will be empowered by our aspirations, not burdened by our fears –- inspired by the future, not bound by the failures of the past –- and guided by our vision, not blinded by our doubts.

353.        I ASK YOU ALL TO EMBRACE THIS RENEWAL OF THE AMERICAN SPIRIT. I ASK ALL OF YOU TO BELIEVE IN AMERICA. “I am asking all citizens to embrace this Renewal of the American Spirit. I am asking all members of Congress to join me in dreaming big, and bold and daring things for our country. And I am asking everyone watching tonight to seize this moment and — Believe in yourselves. Believe in your future. And believe, once more, in America.

354.        THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU. GOD BLESS THE USA. “Thank you, God bless you, and God Bless these United States.

Critical democrats and disaffected republicans and much of the media, are focused on criticizing, finding fault, and the negatives of life.


POTUS Trump and his administration are focused on the positives of life – helping us — helping to

Bottom line day 1 Impeachment trial? Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, Schumer are on trial not POTUS Trump. BARREL & PORK.

1. BARREL, what is your take away after this first day of the Impeachment Trial in the Senate?

2. My take, is this PORK – POTUS Trump was well within his rights in his dealings with Ukraine and the House. There is no proof of wrongdoing.

3. There is no proof of Russia collusion, of quid pro quo, or obstruction of justice, or obstruction of congress.

4. Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer are on trial, not POTUS Trump. 

5. Schiff, Nadler, and Pelosi have failed to make their partisan case. All four have wasted our time and money and in the process failed their own constituencies completely.

6. While these four continue to waste our money and time, POTUS Trump is helping us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.

7. The dark perfidiousness of Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer, in trying to remove a sitting president for political advantage, is now brought into the light of day for the Senate, the nation, and the world to condemn.


8. Yes, BARREL. I agree with you. Let’s vote the four out of office and send them packing. I’m forecasting a POTUS Trump rout in the fall.

263.        IT WILL HELP OUR PEOPLE ENTER THE MIDDLE CLASS. “enter the middle class.

282.        I ASK CONGRESS TO REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE NOW BECAUSE IT IS WRONG TO MANDATE EVERY AMERICAN MUST BUY GOVERNMENT-APPROVED HEALTH INSURANCE. THAT IS NOT THE RIGHT SOLUTION. “Mandating every American to buy government-approved health insurance was never the right solution for America. 

283.        I ASK CONGRESS TO REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE NOW AND IN THE PROCESS MAKE HEALTH CARE INSURANCE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE BY LOWERING THE COST OF HEALTH INSURANCE. “The way to make health insurance available to everyone is to lower the cost of health insurance,

294.        CONGRESS MUST ACT DECISIVELY TO PROTECT ALL AMERICANS. “and we must act decisively to protect all Americans. 

295.        I SAY TO CONGRESS, ACTION IS NOT A CHOICE. IT IS A NECESSITY. “Action is not a choice –- it is a necessity.

297.        THESE PRINCIPLES MUST GUIDE PROVIDING BETTER HEALTHCARE FOR ALL AMERICANS. “Here are the principles that should guide the Congress as we move to create a better healthcare system for all Americans:

298.        THOSE WITH PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS MUST HAVE ACCESS TO COVERAGE. “First, we should ensure that Americans with pre-existing conditions have access to coverage,

305.        STATE GOVERNORS MUST MEET NEED WITH MEDICAID SO NO ONE IS LEFT OUT. “Thirdly, we should give our great State Governors the resources and flexibility they need with Medicaid to make sure no one is left out.

306.        LEGAL REFORMS MUST PROTECT PATIENTS AND DOCTORS FROM UNNECESSARY COSTS THAT DRIVE THE PRICE OF INSURANCE UP. “Fourthly, we should implement legal reforms that protect patients and doctors from unnecessary costs that drive up the price of insurance –

307.        LEGAL REFORMS MUST PROTECT OUR PEOPLE FROM ARTIFICIALLY HIGH PRICE OF DRUGS. “and work to bring down the artificially high price of drugs

308.        LEGAL REFORMS MUST MANDATE THAT ARTIFICIALLY HIGH PRICES OF DRUGS BE BROUGHT DOWN IMMEDIATELY. “and bring them down immediately.

309.        AMERICANS MUST BE PERMITTED TO BUY HEALTH INSURANCE ACROSS STATE LINES. “Finally, the time has come to give Americans the freedom to purchase health insurance across State lines –-

310.        WE MUST CREATE A COMPETITIVE NATIONAL MARKETPLACE FOR HEALTH INSURANCE. “creating a truly competitive national marketplace

311.        NATIONWIDE COMPETITION WILL BRING COSTS DOWN. “that will bring cost way down

312.        NATIONWIDE COMPETITION WILL PROVIDE FAR BETTER CARE. “and provide far better care.

313.        ALL THAT IS BROKEN IN OUR COUNTRY CAN BE FIXED. “Everything that is broken in our country can be fixed. 

314.        ALL PROBLEMS CAN BE SOLVED. “Every problem can be solved. 

315.        ALL HURTING FAMILIES CAN FIND HEALING AND HOPE. “And every hurting family can find healing, and hope.

316.        OUR AMERICAN CITIZENS DESERVE THIS AND MORE. “Our citizens deserve this, and so much more –-

317.        I ASK DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS TO JOIN FORCES TO GET THIS DONE NOW. “so why not join forces to finally get it done?  

318.        I ASK DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS TO GET TOGETHER, TO UNITE, FOR THE GOOD OF AMERICA AND ITS PEOPLE. “On this and so many other things, Democrats and Republicans should get together and unite for the good of our country, and for the good of the American people.

319.        MY ADMINISTRATION WILL WORK WITH BOTH PARTIES. “My administration wants to work with members in both parties

320.        WE WILL DO SO TO MAKE CHILDCARE ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE. “to make childcare accessible and affordable,

321.        WE WILL DO SO TO HELP ENSURE NEW PARENTS HAVE PAID FAMILY LEAVE. “to help ensure new parents have paid family leave,

322.        WE WILL DO SO TO INVEST IN WOMEN’S HEALTH. “to invest in women’s health,

323.        WE WILL DO SO TO PROMOTE CLEAN AIR AND CLEAR WATER. “and to promote clean air and clear water,

324.        WE WILL DO SO TO REBUILD OUR MILITARY. “and to rebuild our military

325.        WE WILL DO SO TO REBUILD OUR INFRASTRUCTURE. “and our infrastructure.

326.        TRUE LOVE FOR OUR AMERICAN PEOPLE MANDATES THAT WE FIND COMMON GROUND. “True love for our people requires us to find common ground,

327.        TRUE LOVE FOR OUR AMERICAN PEOPLE MANDATES THAT WE ADVANCE THE COMMON GOOD. “to advance the common good,

328.        TRUE LOVE FOR OUR AMERICAN PEOPLE MANDATES THAT WE COOPERATE ON BEHALF OF EVERY AMERICAN CHILD BECAUSE EACH DESERVES A BRIGHTER FUTURE. “and to cooperate on behalf of every American child who deserves a brighter future.

329.        INCREDIBLE MEGAN CROWLEY IS WITH US TODAY. An incredible young woman is with us this evening who should serve as an inspiration to us all. Today is Rare Disease day, and joining us in the gallery is a Rare Disease Survivor, Megan Crowley.  Megan was diagnosed with Pompe Disease, a rare and serious illness, when she was 15 months old.  She was not expected to live past 5. On receiving this news, Megan’s dad, John, fought with everything he had to save the life of his precious child.  He founded a company to look for a cure, and helped develop the drug that saved Megan’s life.  Today she is 20 years old – and a sophomore at Notre Dame. Megan’s story is about the unbounded power of a father’s love for a daughter. 

330.        FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION APPROVAL PROCESSES MUST BE ACCELERATED NOW. “But our slow and burdensome approval process at the Food and Drug Administration keeps too many advances, like the one that saved Megan’s life, from reaching those in need. If we slash the restraints, not just at the FDA but across our Government, then we will be blessed with far more miracles like Megan.

331.        WE MUST ENRICH THE MIND AND SOUL OF EACH AMERICAN CHILD. I ASK MEMBERS OF BOTH PARTIES TO PASS AN EDUCATION BILL THAT FUNDS SCHOOL CHOICE TO PUBLIC, PRIVATE, CHARTER, MAGNET, RELIGIOUS, OR HOME SCHOOL FOR ALL YOUTH, FOR DISADVANTAGED YOUTH, INCLUDING MILLIONS OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND LATINO CHILDREN. “In fact, our children will grow up in a Nation of miracles. But to achieve this future, we must enrich the mind –- and the souls –- of every American child. Education is the civil rights issue of our time. I am calling upon Members of both parties to pass an education bill that funds school choice for disadvantaged youth, including millions of African-American and Latino children.  These families should be free to choose the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school that is right for them.

332.        DENISHA MERRIWEATHER IS WITH US TONIGHT. WE MUST BREAK THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE IN ORDER TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY. “Joining us tonight in the gallery is a remarkable woman, Denisha Merriweather.  As a young girl, Denisha struggled in school and failed third grade twice. But then she was able to enroll in a private center for learning, with the help of a tax credit scholarship program. Today, she is the first in her family to graduate, not just from high school, but from college.  Later this year she will get her masters degree in social work. We want all children to be able to break the cycle of poverty just like Denisha. But to break the cycle of poverty, we must also break the cycle of violence.

333.        THE MURDER RATE IS HORRIFIC. MORE THAN 4,000 PEOPLE WERE SHOT IN CHICAGO LAST YEAR. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. “The murder rate in 2015 experienced its largest single-year increase in nearly half a century. In Chicago, more than 4,000 people were shot last year alone –- and the murder rate so far this year has been even higher. This is not acceptable in our society.

334.        EVERY AMERICAN CHILD MUST BE ABLE TO GROW UP IN A SAFE COMMUNITY, ATTEND A GREAT SCHOOL, AND HAVE ACCESS TO A HIGH-PAYING JOB. “Every American child should be able to grow up in a safe community, to attend a great school, and to have access to a high-paying job.

335.        WE MUST WORK WITH THE MEN AND WOMEN OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. “But to create this future, we must work with –- not against -– the men and women of law enforcement.

336.        WE MUST BUILD BRIDGES OF COOPERATION AND TRUST WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. “We must build bridges of cooperation and trust –-

337.        WE MUST NOT DRIVE THE WEDGE OF DISUNITY AND DIVISION. “not drive the wedge of disunity and division.

338.        WE MUST HONOR AND SUPPORT OUR POLICE AND SHERIFFS. “Police and sheriffs are members of our community. They are friends and neighbors, they are mothers and fathers, sons and daughters – and they leave behind loved ones every day who worry whether or not they’ll come home safe and sound. We must support the incredible men and women of law enforcement.

339.        WE MUST SUPPORT VICTIMS OF CRIME. “And we must support the victims of crime.

340.        I HAVE ORDERED THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY TO CREATE AN OFFICE TO SERVE AMERICAN VICTIMS. I WILL NOT FORGET THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN KILLED BY AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD. ‘I have ordered the Department of Homeland Security to create an office to serve American Victims. The office is called VOICE –- Victims Of Immigration Crime Engagement. We are providing a voice to those who have been ignored by our media, and silenced by special interests. Joining us in the audience tonight are four very brave Americans whose government failed them. Their names are Jamiel Shaw, Susan Oliver, Jenna Oliver, and Jessica Davis. Jamiel’s 17-year-old son was viciously murdered by an illegal immigrant gang member, who had just been released from prison. Jamiel Shaw Jr. was an incredible young man, with unlimited potential who was getting ready to go to college where he would have excelled as a great quarterback.  But he never got the chance. His father, who is in the audience tonight, has become a good friend of mine. Also with us are Susan Oliver and Jessica Davis. Their husbands –- Deputy Sheriff Danny Oliver and Detective Michael Davis –- were slain in the line of duty in California. They were pillars of their community. These brave men were viciously gunned down by an illegal immigrant with a criminal record and two prior deportations. Sitting with Susan is her daughter, Jenna. Jenna:  I want you to know that your father was a hero, and that tonight you have the love of an entire country supporting you and praying for you. To Jamiel, Jenna, Susan and Jessica:  I want you to know –- we will never stop fighting for justice. Your loved ones will never be forgotten, we will always honor their memory.

341.        I AM ASKING CONGRESS TO APPROVE MY BUDGET TO PROVIDE THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WITH THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO PREVENT, FIGHT, AND WIN WAR – TO REBUILD OUR MILITARY, TO ELIMINATE THE DEFENSE SEQUESTER, TO INCREASE THE NATIONAL DEFENSE SPENDING NEEDED, AND TO FUND HELP FOR OUR VETERANS. I WILL REMEMBER, WITH ALL WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES, U.S. NAVY SPECIAL OPERATOR, SENIOR CHIEF WILLIAM “RYAN” OWENS.“Finally, to keep America Safe we must provide the men and women of the United States military with the tools they need to prevent war and –- if they must –- to fight and to win. I am sending the Congress a budget that rebuilds the military, eliminates the Defense sequester, and calls for one of the largest increases in national defense spending in American history. My budget will also increase funding for our veterans. Our veterans have delivered for this Nation –- and now we must deliver for them. The challenges we face as a Nation are great. But our people are even greater. And none are greater or braver than those who fight for America in uniform. We are blessed to be joined tonight by Carryn Owens, the widow of a U.S. Navy Special Operator, Senior Chief William “Ryan” Owens. Ryan died as he lived:  a warrior, and a hero –- battling against terrorism and securing our Nation. I just spoke to General Mattis, who reconfirmed that, and I quote, “Ryan was a part of a highly successful raid that generated large amounts of vital intelligence that will lead to many more victories in the future against our enemies.” Ryan’s legacy is etched into eternity. For as the Bible teaches us, there is no greater act of love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. Ryan laid down his life for his friends, for his country, and for our freedom –- we will never forget him.

342.        OUR FOREIGN POLICY CALLS FOR DIRECT, ROBUST, MEANINGFUL LEADERSHIP AND ENGAGEMENT WITH THE WORLD. “To those allies who wonder what kind of friend America will be, look no further than the heroes who wear our uniform. Our foreign policy calls for a direct, robust and meaningful engagement with the world. It is American leadership based on vital security interests that we share with our allies across the globe.

343.        WE SUPPORT NATO. “We strongly support NATO, an alliance forged through the bonds of two World Wars that dethroned fascism, and a Cold War that defeated communism.

344.        OUR PARTNERS IN NATO AND OTHER THEATERS MUST MEET THEIR FINANCIAL AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS. THEY MUST PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF THE COST. “But our partners must meet their financial obligations. And now, based on our very strong and frank discussions, they are beginning to do just that. We expect our partners, whether in NATO, in the Middle East, or the Pacific –-  to take a direct and meaningful role in both strategic and military operations, and pay their fair share of the cost.

345.        WE RESPECT HISTORIC INSTITUTIONS, BUT WE RESPECT SOVEREIGN RIGHTS OF NATIONS. FREE NATIONS MUST CHART THEIR OWN COURSE. “We will respect historic institutions, but we will also respect the sovereign rights of nations. Free nations are the best vehicle for expressing the will of the people –- and America respects the right of all nations to chart their own path.  

346.        I DO NOT REPRESENT THE WORLD. I REPRESENT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THAT IS MY JOB. “My job is not to represent the world. My job is to represent the United States of America.

347.        AMERICA IS BETTER OFF WHEN THERE IS LESS CONFLICT. “But we know that America is better off, when there is less conflict — not more.

348.        WE MUST LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST. “We must learn from the mistakes of the past –- we have seen the war and destruction that have raged across our world.

349.        IN THESE HUMANITARIAN DISASTERS, DISPLACED PERSONS MUST BE AFFORDED THE RIGHT AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO RETURN HOME. “The only long-term solution for these humanitarian disasters is to create the conditions where displaced persons can safely return home and begin the long process of rebuilding.

350.        AMERICA IS WILLING TO FIND NEW FRIENDS, FORGE NEW PARTNERSHIPS, WHERE SHARED INTERESTS ALIGN. AMERICA WANTS PEACE. WE WANT JUSTICE. WE WANT FREEDOM. “America is willing to find new friends, and to forge new partnerships, where shared interests align.  We want harmony and stability, not war and conflict. We want peace, wherever peace can be found. America is friends today with former enemies. Some of our closest allies, decades ago, fought on the opposite side of these World Wars. This history should give us all faith in the possibilities for a better world. Hopefully, the 250th year for America will see a world that is more peaceful, more just and more free.

351.        WE MUST SET FREE THE DREAMS OF OUR PEOPLE TO BUILD, PAINT, INVENT, CURE ILLNESSES, AND SET FOOT ON DISTANT WORLDS. “On our 100th anniversary, in 1876, citizens from across our Nation came to Philadelphia to celebrate America’s centennial. At that celebration, the country’s builders and artists and inventors showed off their creations. Alexander Graham Bell displayed his telephone for the first time. Remington unveiled the first typewriter. An early attempt was made at electric light. Thomas Edison showed an automatic telegraph and an electric pen. Imagine the wonders our country could know in America’s 250th year. Think of the marvels we can achieve if we simply set free the dreams of our people. Cures to illnesses that have always plagued us are not too much to hope. American footprints on distant worlds are not too big a dream. Millions lifted from welfare to work is not too much to expect. And streets where mothers are safe from fear – schools where children learn in peace – and jobs where Americans prosper and grow – are not too much to ask. When we have all of this, we will have made America greater than ever before.

352.        THIS IS OUR VISION AND OUR MISSION FOR ALL AMERICANS. WE ARE ONE PEOPLE. WE BLEED THE SAME BLOOD. WE SALUTE THE SAME FLAG. WE ARE MADE BY THE SAME GOD. WE CELEBRATE 250 YEARS OF GLORIOUS FREEDOM. THIS IS A NEW CHAPTER IN AMERICAN GREATNESS. THE TIME FOR SMALL THINKING IS PAST. WE NEED COURAGE. WE NEED CONFIDENCE. WE MUST BE INSPIRED BY THE FUTURE, NOT BOUND BY THE FAILURES OF THE PAST, GUIDED BY OUR VISION, NOT BLINDED BY OUR DOUBTS. “For all Americans. This is our vision. This is our mission. But we can only get there together. We are one people, with one destiny. We all bleed the same blood. We all salute the same flag. And we are all made by the same God. And when we fulfill this vision; when we celebrate our 250 years of glorious freedom, we will look back on tonight as when this new chapter of American Greatness began. The time for small thinking is over. The time for trivial fights is behind us. We just need the courage to share the dreams that fill our hearts. The bravery to express the hopes that stir our souls. And the confidence to turn those hopes and dreams to action. From now on, America will be empowered by our aspirations, not burdened by our fears –- inspired by the future, not bound by the failures of the past –- and guided by our vision, not blinded by our doubts.

353.        I ASK YOU ALL TO EMBRACE THIS RENEWAL OF THE AMERICAN SPIRIT. I ASK ALL OF YOU TO BELIEVE IN AMERICA. “I am asking all citizens to embrace this Renewal of the American Spirit. I am asking all members of Congress to join me in dreaming big, and bold and daring things for our country. And I am asking everyone watching tonight to seize this moment and — Believe in yourselves. Believe in your future. And believe, once more, in America.

354.        THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU. GOD BLESS THE USA. “Thank you, God bless you, and God Bless these United States.

Critical democrats and disaffected republicans and much of the media, are focused on criticizing, finding fault, and the negatives of life.


POTUS Trump and his administration are focused on the positives of life – helping us — helping to

CHUCK SCHUMER AND NANCY PELOSI AND THE DEMOCRATS AND DISAFFECTED REPUBLICANS HAVE NO COMMON SENSE. THROW THEM OUT OF OFFICE!  END THE 60 VOTES SENATE RULE AND GO TO A COMMON SENSE 51 VOTES AND PASS A LONG-TERM BUDGET AND FUND THE GOVERNMENT NOW!

CHUCK SCHUMER AND NANCY PELOSI AND THE DEMOCRATS HAVE NO COMMON SENSE. THROW THEM OUT OF OFFICE!

END THE 60 VOTES SENATE RULE AND GO TO A COMMON SENSE 51 VOTES AND PASS A LONG-TERM BUDGET AND FUND THE GOVERNMENT!

While you are at it, give us a list of the Democrat and Disaffected Republican Senators who shut down the government and thereby trashed our Military, cut funding for 8 million children, and allowed illegal immigrants to pour into our nation unchecked by refusing to vote for the continuing resolution to keep the government open.

Democrats have chosen amnesty for illegal immigrants over paying wages to our citizen Military and helping 8 million children and stemming the tide of illegal immigrants crossing our borders.

No more calling for the “nuclear option.” That phrase is inane and meaningless. Call it what it is. Call it the COMMON SENSE OPTION.
