If your ideas have merit, debate them and win the debate on those merits if the idea is good enough to support that. If you need to bury them in a bill, trick or strongarm people into going along with them, that's essentially and admission that the ideas themselves don't hold water.

View MoreHaving watched what the Dems put forth in this latest hoax impeachment failure, they essentially defined themselves, and by association their party, as nothing more than conspiracy theorists. They asserted all kinds of things, basically all about what they THEORIZED were Trump's motives, what was in his heart and mind. But if you're going to charge somebody with something based on what he said (it'd be REALLY hard to charge somebody based on what you thought they were thinking), he damn well better have actually said it. Which he clearly did not in this case. With all the Dem video of the rioters marching and breaching the Capitol all the while shouting despicable things like, "Break that window," "Smash in that door," "Burn it down," if one of those actual voices had BEEN Donald Trump, he would indeed have been guilty as charged. But not only were none of those his voice, he wasn't actually there for any of those video clips, rendering them completely moot in terms of the charges. Even the Dem ALLEGATIONS were nothing more than conspiracy theories... they just kept harping on what THEY (the Dems) said they "knew" Trump wanted. That kind of a case will never get you very far in convicting anybody of anything, if you're basing your charges on what you think is in somebody else's head. But when it came down to what Trump actually said, as they say, there was no there there.
I was only semi-flabbergasted tonight as I listened to a Biden speech from last week, where he exposed himself to be kind of a siren for that same kind of conspiracy theory construction in attacking the other side. In this speech, he said the whole riot was based on a bunch of white supremacists!!! I would surmise that you have to get pretty far out on the conspiracy theory branch, even if a Democrat, to make that assertion. The closest thing you could probably say about why the rioters were rioting was that, at least a large portion of them, believed the election had not been conducted fairly. That has absolutely NOTHING to do with white supremacy, and for Biden to make that assertion means he's so far gone, he can't even follow or put together a "sensible" (if there is such a thing) conspiracy theory. At least in my mind, voter fraud and white supremacy are not exactly synonyms. But in Joe's mind, they are... which says quite a bit about Joe's mind.

They showed a bunch of videos, of Trump talking and of rioters rioting. Nothing Trump said was impeachable, inciteful of a riot. What the rioters were shouting as they rioted WAS inciteful... if their videos had TRUMP saying those "burn the place down" kinds of things, they'd have something. But they don't, because he didn't.
By the way, if simply saying something is incendiary and leads to a riot and that makes for an impeachable offense, Obama should have been impeached for, well, many things, but let's just use Ferguson as a completely analogous example. I strongly suggest the Dems be made aware that when the House flips back at the mid-terms, Obama WILL be impeached, for that and possibly other things. But that is a simple no-brainer. There is absolutely no question that his pumping of the lie of "Hands up, don't shoot" let to rioting costing lives and millions of dollars. And, basically, is still ongoing as the BLM/Antifa movement. Impeach away, as long as there's no need for it to apply to an actual, sitting President.

Massive doses of steroids in hospital turned me diabetic, so hoping that will be temporary, but for now, monitoring sugar and shooting insulin in my belly are my new normal.

Also, I urge you all to follow my lead and quit any existing pay accounts you have with the fascists, such as Amazon Prime, Spotify Premium, etc., and just dump the silly ones with the fascists like Pinterest, Reddit, and the like. I still have to go cancel every pay subscription thing I have through Apple and iTunes, but that's my next chore.

View MoreI heard the closest thing to a sign on human intelligence from the mouth of Sandy Cortez at the end of last week. She put up a video saying, "What we need to do is figure out how to reign in the media from spewing misinformation and disinformation." She is dead on the money with that statement, although it will basically shut HER up based on the dis/mis-information constantly spewed by her own preferred media channels.
But I've though about how we might actually address this. It has to be done aggressively and with lots of teeth in the implementation. I at first thought, what about a 1 month forced media blackout for each such violation, until I realized that would essentially put CNN, NBC and their brethren off the air so long as to be functionally permanent. So instead of a month, would a week or even just a complete blackout of 1 day be more appropriate? Or perhaps a fine of $10MM (or some other amount) instead, or in combination?
But if Sandy wonders just how badly this will affect her "friendly" media, consider this. At the end of last week, Jacob Blake or whatever the name of the Kenosha criminal wounded by the cops is went on GMA and did an interview with Michael Strahan. In that interview, he flat out confessed that he was armed, in direct contradiction of literally thousands (if not more) of media reports using the phrase "unarmed black man." In other words, every time some network reported the incident as such with those words, it was an incident of dis/mis-information spewing. I really think for CNN alone this might mean commission of 1000s of infractions, but 100s at the bare minimum. How long should CNN have to be off the air, how big a fine should they have to pay, FOR JUST THIS ONE INFRACTION REPEATED OVER AND OVER AND OVER? Think about THAT, AOC!!!
