Joe Biden

Common sense says it could only be a matter of years before Americans aren’t allowed to own guns or practice their religions if Democrats crawl back into power. Institutional protections and guarantees don’t mean squat when you’ve got self-interested leaders in charge. “Beto” was dumb enough to reveal our future -- take heed.

Sen. Graham announced the hearing saying, "Given the House of Representatives’ behavior, it is time for the Senate to inquire about corruption and other improprieties involving Ukraine. Therefore, I will offer to Mr. Giuliani the opportunity to come before the Senate Judiciary Committee to inform the Committee of his concerns." We hope once he hears from Mayor Giuliani he will subpoena Hunter Biden to explain what beside his father's name he put into his many foreign business ventures.

Any way you slice it, Donald Trump evokes strong reactions from Americans on both sides of the ideological fence. If polls indicate people are already eager to cast votes for the next president, it’s not difficult to see why. Some predict a record voter turnout…who will prevail?

There will be a Democrat name on the ballot opposite President Trump in less than thirteen months (assuming nothing comes from the impeachment farce). Tuesday night’s “debate” did little to clarify who that name will be. When all was said and done, there was more picking than talking -- a bad sign for the party out of the White House.

Regardless of what happens during the Democrat debate tonight it’s clear the party is in trouble. Nancy Pelosi’s impeachment witch-hunt has effectively stolen all the thunder from the party presidential race, a bad thing considering it wasn’t all that exciting to begin with. Will anyone even watch?

With polls showing a majority of Americans favoring an inquiry, and a Fox News poll showing a majority favoring Trump's conviction and removal, impeachment appears inevitable. Thus, as Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats seek to ram through a bill of impeachment by Thanksgiving, based on a phone call, Trump is preparing for siege warfare. As Trump has himself conceded, impeachment is probable, even if the outcome of this historic collision between the president and Congress, which will decide the fates of Pelosi, Trump and Biden alike, is, as of yet, undetermined. Yet in this struggle, Trump is not without assets.

So by the whistleblower’s two lawyers own words we learn that their client — their client identified by the New York Times as a CIA official — “has spent their entire government career in apolitical, civil servant positions in the Executive Branch” serving “elected officials.” There are only two elected officials in the “Executive Branch,” the president and vice president. Last week the former vice president joined the plotters of the coup d’état designed to remove a duly elected president of the United States. The questions now: Has he been involved from the beginning? What did Joe Biden know — and when did he know it?

There’s little doubt we’re living in extraordinary times. What seemed to make sense for well over two-hundred years no longer governs in twenty-first century American politics. The only thing that’s certain to come from impeachment are unintended consequences, something Democrats better realize before they take the most drastic steps forward.

It's hard to say whether Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren’s latest sham (regarding her being fired from an early 70’s teaching job due to pregnancy) will signal a drop in her support. As time goes on it seems President Trump is looking stronger and stronger, and it’s more than just by default.

President Trump will continue to draw criticism for his decision to pull U.S. forces out of Syria, but he’s doing the right thing. There simply isn’t a way to win by keeping the military involved in situations where they’re little more than human shields in the center of an ancient power struggle not of our making.

As long as Trump remains in the White House RINOs like Mitt Romney and Jeff Flake will have a stump to stand on -- but no one listens. Trump’s GOP critics aren’t advancing the argument or the cause by sniping from Twitter or blubbering on liberal cable news shows. Some people never learn.

There’s little doubt the political species known as “Moderate Democrat” should be placed on an endangered list (if not already declared extinct). Moderation in Democrat-land earns you too many enemies and too few friends, a realization that more and more would-be candidates are discovering.

No sane gun owner will want his or her name on a gun registry after listening to this year's Democratic candidates on the trail. It's not just that Democrats now openly talk of packing the Supreme Court and abolishing the Second Amendment, by hook or by crook. It's also that specific Democrats, Beto O'Rourke especially, have clarified and confirmed the real reason for creating such registries. Gun owners are not paranoid for taking Democrats' promises literally on this topic. Democrats have engaged this issue in bad faith for far too long to be able to win gun owners' trust now. Biden has a plan, but Beto already showed why it won't work.

The toll-free Capitol Switchboard is (1-866-220-0044) we urge CHQ readers and friends to call Senators Romney, Sasse and Collins to tell them to stop virtue signaling about President Trump and to support an investigation into the gross corruption of Joe and Hunter Biden.

With facts yet to come out in the Ukraine/Hunter Biden scandal, it’s difficult to tell exactly how damaged Joe Biden will be at the end of it all. Some claim Democrats are moving the controversy forward to get rid of Joe; but it seems like Biden’s doing a pretty good job of eliminating himself on his own.

While the political and media worlds have obsessed about Ukraine and the House effort to impeach President Trump, Joe Biden has been rapidly losing his grip on the Democratic presidential race. In fact, he has already lost it. This week Biden struck back for the first time against Trump's "stone-cold crooked" attacks. "Let me make something clear to Trump and his hatchet men," Biden said. "I'm not going anywhere." That's what he says now. But look at the polls and then look at Biden's long slide from the front-runner position to a virtual tie with Warren. Biden has enormous hurdles ahead that have absolutely nothing to do with anything Trump says.

Whether it’s Hillary Clinton or Al Gore -- or Greta Thunberg or AOC -- Democrats are perhaps using climate hysteria as the foundation for the need to impeach Trump now, before the 2020 election. Trump’s reelection would stifle all their plans to rid the earth of carbon forever. Hurry up, Nancy!

A “legislative coup d’état” is exactly what this so-called “impeachment” really is. Pelosi and her Democrat caucus have been trying to overturn the 2016 election from the get-go, and this coup is but the latest attempt. Make no mistake. When it comes to President Trump, the Left — with Pelosi as its figurehead — can’t act fast enough to push its legislative coup d’état. And at the same time the Leftist State Media will do everything in its power not only to support the coup but also to protect Biden, and beyond that former President Obama from any investigation into Obama-Biden corruption in their dealings with Ukraine. This is a seriously bad moment in American history.

During the trial of the president, Republicans will target Mr. Biden and his son nonstop. It’s highly unlikely 22 Republicans will join Democrats to vote to convict, but Mr. Biden will be heavily damaged. That may have all been part of Mr. Trump’s master plan. He knew the transcript didn’t show a quid pro quo, and the whistleblower complaint, now also public, doesn’t amount to much, either. And maybe, just maybe, Democrats knew that this scandal would also take out Mr. Biden. If they did, they could well be right. Even better, if Mr. Biden gets crushed in the playout of the Ukraine scandal, they’ll have no blood on their hands.

There’s little doubt Nancy Pelosi’s decision to move forward with impeachment will impact the 2020 Democrat presidential race, but we’re not sure how -- or to what extent. From the outset it seemed clear that Democrats didn’t care much about anything other than Trump. Now’s their chance to prove otherwise.
