The country is on the right track. They understand the brevity of the issue.

It is impossible to look the other way when patriots speak.

In this poll, 32 percent thought Trump should be impeached before the Ukraine incident. In my opinion, the Special Counsel report spells out a very corrupt president and a campaign willing to go to bed with the Russians to win the presidency. I believe the Special Counsel report was enough to impeach, so I understand those that find the Ukraine incident yet more proof.

The problem in delaying any impeachment and trial in the Senate only allows more time for more corruption to unfold. The country is not tolerating Trump's administration well and it is time for him to be held responsible for his wrongdoings.

Nunes: I know Ms. Stefanik you had a few quick questions for the ambassador. I yield to you Ms. Stefanik.

The complaints by Republicans about gender discrimination doesn't hold water. Ms. Stefanik was out of order. She was not recognized to speak. (click here) If she feels so aggrieved by the rules of the US House she can make an ethics complaint. Quick questions were not part of the proceedings at that time, that would be later in the day. The recognition of the Ranking member was very specific and was according to US House rules. I don't see Chairman Schiff (Shifty Schiff) doing anything except carrying out his responsibility.

70% of Americans (click here) say Trump’s actions tied to Ukraine were wrong: POLL originally appeared on abcnews.go.com

An overwhelming 70% of Americans think President Donald Trump’s request to a foreign leader to investigate his political rival, which sits at the heart of the House of Representatives' impeachment inquiry, was wrong, a new ABC News/Ipsos poll finds.

A slim majority of Americans, 51%, believe Trump’s actions were both wrong and he should be impeached and removed from office. But only 21% of Americans say they are following the hearings very closely.

In addition to the 51%, another 19% think that Trump's actions were wrong, but that he should either be impeached by the House but not removed from office, or be neither impeached by the House nor convicted by the Senate. The survey also finds that 1 in 4 Americans, 25%, think that Trump did nothing wrong....

Trump needs to attend to his duties and stop tweeting.

The Republicans are completely wrong. There are two witnesses today that were on the phone call to President Zelenskyy. The Republicans are afraid to admit they have a rogue president and they can't do anything about it.

Washington - House Republicans, (click here) bracing for another week of impeachment hearings, asserted on Sunday that President Trump had done nothing wrong because his plans for Ukraine to investigate his political rivals never came to fruition — even as the president complicated their efforts by attacking another witness....

Donald Trump and his obsessive-compulsive need for control is digging himself in deeper with every tweet to intimidate and conduct his misinformation campaign.

The Republicans need to come to terms with him and realize the people testifying are among the most dedicated people in the country. They are dedicated to its sovereign state. These hearings are not about politics, they are about the country and always have been. The people testifying under subpoena are not interested in politics, they have a higher oath to answer to and they will answer to it. They are noble for their dedication and the Republicans are not for their willingness to play politics with the well being of the country!

Moscow - European leaders (click here) will meet with the presidents of Ukraine and Russia next month in an effort to advance rocky negotiations to end the conflict in Ukraine....

This peace summit is happening because the powers involved are coming to the table in strength, not weakness. This would not be occurring if Ukraine was vulnerable. Ukrainian people have and are dying for the right to have their own will and freedom to express it. That is not a political toy. 

Trump carried out impeachable offenses. He violated his oath of office. He put his own needs ahead of the country's goodwill and good faith. The Republicans have never been so wrong in their idea of "he did nothing wrong." 

I don't care what Zelenskyy says about the entire affair now, he is compromised by the very president that sits in the Oval Office and he is NOT reassured it won't happen again!

China must return to the treaty and leave Hong Kong.

Communism is the worst form of government in the world. The people are chattel with chronic oppression, even the wealthy are possessions of the state. There is no respect for human life and their life spans are shorter than their counterparts in the West by more than ten years.

Oppression of people inhibits their creativity and destroys their sense of hope and future. The trauma the people of Hong Kong are experiencing will live with them forever and effect the city's outcomes.


China has done the worst thing they could in treating the people of Hong Kong as chattel and identifying them as hate mongers and trouble makers. They are not, but, China is definitely hating the people of Hong Kong and has forced them to destroy the city they loved for the sake of their own thoughts and freedoms.


China agreed to a treaty that respected people and provided generations of time to allow a different understanding of life, but, not one where a citizen is worthless and worthy of death.


In the United States of America where freedom of expression is vital to life, protesters are taken to a police station, booked, put before a judge and fined $50.00 for costs. When the judge asks them if they are guilty, they say, "Hell, yeah" and walk out of the courtroom prepared to make their statement to the country all over again.

With China, a demonstrator is lucky to ever be seen again if not killed. In the USA it is why the deaths at Kent State were an abomination. They were a statement of a government that didn't know its people, didn't value them nor cared about their lives.

China has committed human rights violations in Hong Kong and it needs to make amends to the people there.
