Trump commutes sentence of ex-Illinois Gov. Blagojevich, pardons ex-NY police commissioner Kerik, ex-49ers owner DeBartolo Yes Gov. Blagojevich did not take any money but he did offer to sell the Illinois Senator status. However, he already served eight years.  Come on, that's plenty of time served for a guy who did not get a dime out of it.  Yes what he did was wrong and had money been offered Blagojevich probably would have taken it. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/18/trump-expected-to-grant-clemency-to-rod-blagojevich-bernard-kerik.html Trump commuted the remainder of Blagojevich’s 14-year prison term. the Illinois Democrat had begun serving that sentence in 2013 after he was found guilty of attempting to trade the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama for money or favors. The president announced that he had issued pardons to Kerik and DeBartolo. Kerik, who oversaw the NYPD during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, pleaded guilty in 2009 to charges of felony...

A Week of Politics Suitable for a Political Junkee Below is a political humor pic because, well we're assuming President Trump doesn't like Senator Mitt Romney. Romney was the only Republican to vote to remove Trump from office in the vote on this recently. He's dead to the GOP.  Time to throw that niece of his out from her position as National Chair of the GOP.  ------------------------------------------ The State of the Union Speech Mark Levin's take on Trump's SOTU speech President Trump is a truly remarkable man. This speech was fabulous. And to think the Democrats in that body sought to remove him. But he beat them. Again. What a beautiful, patriotic, emotional, and thoughtful speech. Incredible.— Mark R.

Chinese “student” studying in US is indicted for actually being a Chinese Army officer Here's what I don't understand...why don't the Chinese let their people be free? There's Hong Kong fighting for their freedom, begging not to become part of China once again. America has known that Chinese spies are in this country, stealing our technology, our intellectual property, our money.  Not that all the Chinese do this.  They are, ahem, a bit sneaky as I've dealt with a few during my time as a property manager for those running Chinese restaurants. Diane Feinstein had a Chinese chauffer that turned out to be a spy.  Like she didn't know a thing. Now we learn about Chinese pretending to be students to learn our chemistry and biology. The Chinese communist party....a bunch of losers that need to turn over the country to the citizens. https://warisboring.com/chinese-student-studying-in-us-is-indicted-for-actually-being-a-chinese-army-officer/ (PLA Lieu...

Politics Lots of Laughs and a summary of the Republican defense in the Senate

Image
The Defense Makes Its Case Finally the impeachment defense gets a turn Why yes I have watched the defense of the president, now being illegally impeached by the Democrats.  Lies, people, .....the Dems told lies, lies and more lies. The very best belongs to Pam Bondi.  Bondi spent plenty of time describing Burisma, the Ukraine and the money Hunter Biden got paid as he bedded his stripper girlfriend and impregnated while dosing on cocaine.  Yeah some of the prior might be my lie but if the Dems can lie so can I. BONDI EVEN HAD BANK RECORDS!!! She showed us deposits made to the Hunter Biden account in the amount of $83,000 for over 17 months!  This for a guy who knew nothing about natural gas or even doing a full day's work. I was shouting with joy as finally a Republican stood up and defended the president. The president's defense team was terrific, including the aforementioned Pam Bondi, to also include Purpura, Sekulow, Philbin.  They even showed...
