A Few Headlines

The 1868 Impeachment of Andrew Johnson(D)
"When Congress reconvened, they overruled Stanton's suspension, and Grant resigned his position. The event heightened Grant's popularity and depressed Johnson's -- at least as far as Republicans were concerned. Ignoring Congress, Johnson formally dismissed Stanton on February 21, 1868. With the support of the Republicans, Stanton responded by locking himself in his office and refusing to leave.

Angered by Johnson's open defiance, the House of Representatives formally impeached him on February 24 by a vote of 126 to 47. They charged him with violation of the Tenure of Office Act and bringing into "disgrace, ridicule, hatred, contempt, and reproach the Congress of the United States." It was then up to the Senate to try Johnson."

One Republican Senator from Kansas was the deciding vote. Fifty-eight years later, the Supreme Court of the U.S. sided with Johnson to confirm it was a witch hunt, all along.

Today in History: Czar Alexander II assassinated by a bomb in 1881
He was succeeded by his 36-year-old son, Alexander III. His Father's assassins were arrested and hanged, and the 'People’s Will' was thoroughly suppressed.

Czar Alexander III had a fairly peaceful, but short reign (1881-1894), and died aged 49. His son, Nicholas II, was the last Russian emperor (1894–1917). He, along with his wife, Alexandra (a granddaughter of Queen Victoria), and their children, were eventually killed in 1918 by the Bolsheviks after the October Revolution.

Yes, Trump is target of 'presidential harassment
"Together, it adds up to a pile-on of unprecedented proportions, by and large the work of blue-state Democrats who stand to gain politically if their investigations succeed in crippling the president."

Business as usual on steroids.

Pelosi says impeaching Trump 'just not worth it'
"Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country,” Pelosi said in a Washington Post interview published Monday. “And he’s just not worth it."

Policy disagreements and personal dislikes do not an impeachment make. Leftist billionaire sugar daddy, Tom 'the liar' Steyer, hardest hit.

Ilhan Omar(D) and the Axis of Antisemitism
"It is the latter two forms of antisemitism that have resulted in the recent scandals involving Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and the wretched failure of the Democratic leadership in Congress to appropriately condemn her by name and antisemitism as a specific phenomenon, preferring instead to defer to their far-left and pass a pathetically watered-down resolution that elides the issue by dilution, effectively handing antisemitism its first ever legislative victory in the United States."

First, they came for the Jews, but I said nothing because I wasn't a Jew...

The Democrats and Anti-Semitism
"More horrifying were the words of House Whip James Clyburn, who suggested—as my friend Seth Mandel says—that families of Holocaust survivors should check their white privilege in the face of Omar’s history as a Somali refugee:.."

This political party has a serious Jew-hate problem.

Speaking of Hate





Freshman Congresswoman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) Quietly Unfollowed A Grossly Anti-Semitic Instagram Page
"...the account, 'free.palestine.1948,' frequently shares blatantly anti-Semitic posts and 9/11 conspiracy theories..."

Like I said, this political party has a serious Jew-hate problem.

But think about this for a minute: insert 'what-about-ism' concerning a white Republican following on social media a white nationalist group spewing vile crap about a certain ethnic group, and the crap-storm which would demand his/her immediate resignation (ala Steve King).

Yet for these Muslim women elected to Congress there's nary a ripple of push back from Democrat leadership...
