The President and the Pandemic

Nadler's unmitigated disaster  The insistence by Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee - Jerrold Nadler - to  subpoena  a  reluctant  Robert Mueller to testify before the Committee has proved an unmitigated disaster. Nadler had hoped that Mueller would appear before the Committee on May 15 but the Committee’s 24-16 vote on party lines to hold  Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress  for refusing to comply with a subpoena for the unredacted Mueller report and its underlying evidence  appeared  to have complicated negotiations for Mueller to testify before the Committee. A very confident and assured Nadler  asserted : “He [Mueller] will come at some point. If necessary, we’ll subpoena him, and he will come.” Mueller indeed came—and the President Trump-designated “fake news media” even realised what a terrible mistake Nadler had made. The  New York Times  led the charge: Over the years, aides marveled to reporte...

  Trump is set to make mincemeat of the Democrats for embracing illegal immigration in 2020 The Democrats have signed their own political suicide note for the 2020 elections with the revelation that  19 of the 22 defendants  indicted on federal charges of racketeering and murder had entered the USA illegally from Central America. A Democratic Party wipe out in the 2020 elections seems an assured outcome if no reforms are made. The situation for the Democrats is even direr as  3  of those arrested had existing deportation orders against them whilst  5 others  had sought asylum. A  federal indictment —unsealed this week—charges 16 of the 22 defendants—members of the MS 13 gang—with murders that are eligible for the death penalty; victims were beaten, tortured, and in one case, dismembered, with weapons that included knives, machetes, rocks, and pipes. American citizens’ security and safety have been clearly exposed by this newest case as being at gr...

  Was Obama laying the groundwork for destabilising Trump's Presidency? The Democratic Debates provide a perfect opportunity for Kamala Harris to ask Joe Biden a few questions about any role he might have played in three baffling decisions made by President Obama in the last month of his tenure in the White House. The decision to abstain—rather than veto— Security Council resolution 2234  on the 23 rd  December 2016 which: 1. Reaffirms that the establishment by Israel of settlements in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, has no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the achievement of the two-State solution and a just, lasting and comprehensive peace; 2. Reiterates its demand that Israel immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and that it fully respect all of its legal obligations in this rega...
