Abstract, subjective and far-reaching. Schiff sees only what he wants to see.
The Schiff Show curtain needs to come down.
While Schiff continues to lie about the whistleblower and other things, he’s about to embrace a corrupt witness Lev Parnas.
The Constitution is on Trump’s side.
The only question asked at a Hunter Biden job interview...
Governor Northam of Virginia sparked a pro-gun rights rally in Richmond after trying to push his gun control policies.
The circus has come back to town! Impeachment takes center stage led by Shifty Pinocchio Schiff and the appointed House Managers.
Where is Hunter Biden and should he give testimony in the Senate trial if they vote to have witnesses?
A popular place to flee to these days, eh?
Democrats will likely try to use the same dirty tricks as they did with the Russia collusion investigation and the Kavanaugh hearings.
There is none – nor are there any high crimes!
The Do Nothing Democrats only do work that's exclusively related to impeachment in order to destroy Trump!
Uncle Sam holds the weight of impeachment.
"I pray for the president all the time."
The American people will soon see how that works out for them.
Impeachment crayons? Signed pens? Pelosi has plenty, and she's more than happy to share.
Another lie from Pelosi.

Geert Wilders is a Member of the Dutch Parliament.
In
a generation or two, the US will ask itself: "Who lost Europe ?" Here
is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom the
Netherlands , at the Four Seasons in New York , introducing an Alliance
of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem .Dear friends,
Thank you very much for inviting me.
I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.
First, I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe .. Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem ..
The Europe you know is changing.
You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.
All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe . These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe , street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.
There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe . With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.
Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam , Marseille and Malmo in Sweden .. In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.
In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims.
Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear 'whore, whore'. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.
In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin . The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.
In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels , because he was drinking during the Ramadan.
Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya , Israel .. I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization.
San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.
Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France . One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand what they call 'respect'. And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.
The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey .
Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example, against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus. I call the perpetrators 'settlers', because that is what they are. They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.
Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.
The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages - at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.
Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.
Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran. The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel , first, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz , second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.
This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam's territorial advance. Israel is facing the front lines of Jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines , Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan , Lebanon , and Aceh in Indonesia . Israel is simply in the way, the same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.
The war against Israel is not a war against Israel . It is a war against the West. It is Jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel , Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.
Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West . It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they can get Israel , they can get everything. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a 'right-wing extremists' or 'racists'. In my country, the Netherlands , 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat. Yet there is a greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome , Athens and Jerusalem ....
Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe , American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe 's children in the same state in which it was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to do so.
We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.
Please take the time to read and understand what is written here, Please send it to every free person that you know, it is so very important.

Subject: FW: Suicide Bombers Go On Strike!
from Jerry or Pat TraylorBBC News - Suicide Bombers Go On Strike!Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-week strike on Wednesday in a dispute over the number of virgins they are entitled to in the afterlife. Emergency talks with Al Qaeda have so far failed to produce an agreement. The unrest began last Tuesday, when Al Qaeda announced that the number of virgins a suicide bomber would receive after his death, would be cut by 25% this February from 72 to 54. A spokesman said increases in recent years in the number of suicide bombings, has resulted in a shortage of virgins in the afterlife.
The suicide bombers' union, the British Organization of Occupational Martyrs (B.O.O.M.) responded with a statement saying the move was unacceptable to its members and called for a strike vote. General Secretary Abdullah Aloud Bang told the press, "Our members are literally working themselves to death in the cause of Jihad. We don't ask for much in return but to be treated like this is like a kick in the teeth".
Speaking from his shed in Tipton in the West Midlands, Al Qaeda chief executive Aisheet Mapants explained, "I sympathize with our workers concerns but Al Qaeda is simply not in a position to meet their demands. They are simply not accepting the realities of modern-day Jihad in a competitive marketplace. Thanks to Western depravity, there is now a chronic shortage of virgins in the afterlife. It's a straight choice between reducing expenditures or laying people off. I don't like cutting benefits but I'd hate to have to tell 3,000 of my staff that they won't be able to blow themselves up." Spokespersons for the union in the North East of England, Ireland, Wales and the entire Australian continent stated that the change would not hurt their membership because there are so few virgins in their areas anyway. According to some industry sources, the recent drop in the number of suicide bombings has been attributed to the emergence of Scottish singing star, Susan Boyle. Many Muslim Jihadists now know what a virgin looks like, and have reconsidered their benefit packages.

Subject: Fw: Fwd: Oxford Fights Back
A little long, but a
damn good read.
This letter is a response from
Oxford to Black Students attending as Rhodes Scholars to remove the statue of
Oxford Benefactor, Cecil Rhodes.
13 February 2016 11:29:18
Subject: OXFORD - THE FIGHTBACK HAS
BEGUN
Interestingly, Chris Patten (Lord
Patten of Barnes), The Chancellor of Oxford University, was on the Today
Programme on BBC Radio 4 yesterday on precisely the same topic. The Daily
Telegraph headline yesterday was "Oxford will not rewrite history".
Patten commented "“Education
is not indoctrination. Our history is not a blank page on which we can write
our own version of what it should have been according to our contemporary views
and prejudice"
Rhodes must fall ????
“Dear Scrotty Students,
Cecil Rhodes’s generous bequest has
contributed greatly to the comfort and well being of many generations of Oxford
students – a good many of them, dare we say it, better, brighter and more
deserving than you.
This does not necessarily mean we
approve of everything Rhodes did in his lifetime – but then we don’t have to.
Cecil Rhodes died over a century ago. Autres temps, autres moeurs. If you don’t
understand what this means – and it would not remotely surprise us if that were
the case – then we really think you should ask yourself the question: “Why am I
at Oxford?”
Oxford, let us remind you, is the
world’s second oldest extant university. Scholars have been studying here since
at least the 11th century. We’ve played a major part in the invention of
Western civilisation, from the 12th century intellectual renaissance through
the Enlightenment and beyond. Our alumni include William of Ockham, Roger
Bacon, William Tyndale, John Donne, Sir Walter Raleigh, Erasmus, Sir
Christopher Wren, William Penn, Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA), Samuel Johnson, Robert
Hooke, William Morris, Oscar Wilde, Emily Davison, Cardinal Newman, Julie
Cocks. We’re a big deal. And most of the people privileged to come and study
here are conscious of what a big deal we are. Oxford is their alma mater – their
dear mother – and they respect and revere her accordingly.
And what were your ancestors doing
in that period? Living in mud huts, mainly. Sure we’ll concede you the short
lived Southern African civilisation of Great Zimbabwe. But let’s be brutally
honest here. The contribution of the Bantu tribes to modern civilisation has
been as near as damn it to zilch.
You’ll probably say that’s
“racist”. But it’s what we here at Oxford prefer to call “true.” Perhaps the
rules are different at other universities. In fact, we know things are
different at other universities. We’ve watched with horror at what has been
happening across the pond from the University of Missouri to the University of
Virginia and even to revered institutions like Harvard and Yale: the “safe spaces”;
the #blacklivesmatter; the creeping
cultural relativism; the stifling political correctness; what Allan Bloom
rightly called “the closing of the American mind”. At Oxford however, we will
always prefer facts and free, open debate to petty grievance-mongering,
identity politics and empty sloganeering. The day we cease to do so is the day
we lose the right to call ourselves the world’s greatest university.
Of course, you are perfectly within
your rights to squander your time at Oxford on silly, vexatious, single-issue
political campaigns. (Though it does make us wonder how stringent the vetting
procedure is these days for Rhodes scholarships and even more so, for Mandela
Rhodes scholarships) We are well used to seeing undergraduates – or, in your case
– postgraduates, making idiots of themselves. Just don’t expect us to indulge
your idiocy, let alone genuflect before it. You may be black – “BME” as the
grisly modern terminology has it – but we are colour blind. We have been
educating gifted undergraduates from our former colonies, our Empire, our
Commonwealth and beyond for many generations. We do not discriminate over sex,
race, colour or creed. We do, however, discriminate according to intellect.
That means, inter alia, that when
our undergrads or postgrads come up with fatuous ideas, we don’t pat them on
the back, give them a red rosette and say: “Ooh, you’re black and you come from
South Africa. What a clever chap you are!” No. We prefer to see the
quality of those ideas tested in the crucible of public debate. That’s another
key part of the Oxford intellectual tradition you see: you can argue any damn
thing you like but you need to be able to justify it with facts and logic –
otherwise your idea is worthless.
This ludicrous notion you have that
a bronze statue of Cecil Rhodes should be removed from Oriel College, because
it’s symbolic of “institutional racism” and “white slavery”. Well even if it is
– which we dispute – so bloody what? Any undergraduate so feeble-minded that
they can’t pass a bronze statue without having their “safe space” violated
really does not deserve to be here. And besides, if we were to remove Rhodes’s
statue on the premise that his life wasn’t blemish-free, where would we stop?
As one of our alumni Dan Hannan has pointed out, Oriel’s other benefactors
include two kings so awful – Edward II and Charles I – that their subjects had
them killed. The college opposite – Christ Church – was built by a murderous,
thieving bully who bumped off two of his wives. Thomas Jefferson kept slaves:
does that invalidate the US Constitution? Winston Churchill had unenlightened
views about Muslims and India: was he then the wrong man to lead Britain in the
war?”
Actually, we’ll go further than
that. Your Rhodes Must Fall campaign is not merely fatuous but ugly,
vandalistic and dangerous. We agree with Oxford historian RW Johnson that what
you are trying to do here is no different from what ISIS and the Al-Qaeda have
been doing to artefacts in places like Mali and Syria. You are murdering history.
And who are you, anyway, to be
lecturing Oxford University on how it should order its affairs? Your #rhodesmustfall campaign, we understand, originates in South Africa
and was initiated by a black activist who told one of his lecturers “whites
have to be killed”. One of you – Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh – is the privileged son
of a rich politician and a member of a party whose slogan is “Kill the Boer;
Kill the Farmer”; another of you, Ntokozo Qwabe, who is only in Oxford as a
beneficiary of a Rhodes scholarship, has boasted about the need for “socially
conscious black students” to “dominate white universities, and do so ruthlessly
and decisively!
Great. That’s just what Oxford
University needs. Some cultural enrichment from the land of Winnie Mandela,
burning tyre necklaces, an AIDS epidemic almost entirely the result of
government indifference and ignorance, one of the world’s highest per capita
murder rates, institutionalised corruption, tribal politics, anti-white racism
and a collapsing economy. Please name which of the above items you think will
enhance the lives of the 22,000 students studying here at Oxford.
And then please explain what it is
that makes your attention grabbing campaign to remove a listed statue from an
Oxford college more urgent, more deserving than the desire of probably at least
20,000 of those 22,000 students to enjoy their time here unencumbered by the
irritation of spoilt, ungrateful little tossers on scholarships they clearly
don’t merit using racial politics and cheap guilt-tripping to ruin the life and
fabric of our beloved university.
Understand us and understand this
clearly: you have everything to learn from us; we have nothing to learn from
you.
Yours,
Oriel College, Oxford
