The Democrats in the House wants to make the brutality national.
I was approached by a guy in the Costco parking lot the other day with a petition to repeal AB5. I happily signed it (though I’m not registered to vote in CA). I don’t think that Sacramento understands how angry people get when you wipe out their livelihood. Fortunately, Cocaine Mitch will kill this monstrosity in the Senate.
[Late-morning update]
In California, protecting workers means outlawing their jobs.
A good overview of the problem, from Marina Koren.
…is over:
Impeachment must be viewed in the context of the Democrats’ effort to destroy Donald Trump that began prior to his inauguration. For more than three years, their get-Trump campaign has dominated the news. Mostly, it was the Russia hoax. The Democrats originally intended to use that as the basis for impeachment. When the Mueller report negated that plan, they switched–literally overnight–to the much weaker Ukraine theory. No matter. It was impeachment or bust, if only to continue filling up the nightly news with purported Trump “scandals.”
Now the smoke will begin to clear, and I don’t think the Democrats will like the landscape that comes into focus. Their Iowa caucuses were a laughingstock. They made fools of themselves (Nancy Pelosi, especially) during Trump’s State of the Union speech. And, most seriously, they don’t have a presidential candidate. Joe Biden is in freefall, and the party’s elders, such as they are, concede that Bernie Sanders would be a disaster. Will they turn to “Mayor Pete” Buttigieg? Will Michael Bloomberg be their savior? Or will Hillary Clinton or John Kerry come out of retirement? I think they are grasping at straws.
For a long time now, the Democrats have used their hysterical attacks on President Trump to deflect attention from the real scandal–the misuse of the Obama administration’s Department of Justice, FBI and CIA to spy on, and plot against, the Trump presidential campaign and, subsequently, his administration. This is the biggest political scandal in American history, and the Democrats, with the Russia hoax, Ukraine and impeachment now a spent force, are naked, so to speak. One can only imagine with what anxiety they are awaiting the findings of John Durham’s investigation and any criminal indictments that may accompany them.
I have no sympathy.
He finally gets to ask it on the Senate floor.
Roberts really blew it by refusing to read it, and in doing so, he did reveal the “whistleblower’s” identity.
Republicans should be grateful to Adam Schiff, even if Democrats shouldn’t.

The schadenfreude is delicious.
I hope so. They’ve gotten away with too much, for far too long, going all the way back to the nineties, aided and abetted by the “mainstream” press.

Link included now, sorry.
And there’s this: Yes, the president’s acquittal was real, and it was spectacular. And yes, the impeachment wasn’t just a waste of time; it was very damaging.

Sigh…
Link is now not just included, but correct.
[Update early afternoon]
The media hate the Frankenstein’s monster they created.
[Monday morning update]
This post is snake bit. I’ve added the link for the last one.
…are in the fight of their lives.
I hope, at some point soon, there will be a backlash in California. I don’t want to have to leave to be free.
BTW, I was in DC all week, but back now.
Shut it down. But punish those who have been abusing it. I suspect the Trump case is not the first one; they just made the mistake of going after a president.
Meanwhile, Carter Page is suing the DNC over the dossier. Perkins Coie hasn’t gotten enough attention. I hope that’s about to change.
The FBI is (finally!) reviewing claims that she married her brother.
She’s suing Hillary Clinton.
She’ll have to prove malice (reckless disregard for the truth) to win, but that shouldn’t be hard; it’s Hillary.

Here‘s Instapundit’s take.

Hillary accidentally posts condolences for Tulsi’s suicide a day early.
