Dems prioritize impeachment,except when golf’s on

Distraught Democrats, who began discussing the prospect of impeaching President Donald Trump immediately after his inauguration, have made good on their promise, while kicking the Constitution in the shins. Unable to get over their angst that scandal-plagued Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election, they’ve come up with novel, politically motivated charges in the articles of impeachment they’ve brought against the Republican president: one for abuse of power and a second for obstruction of Congress. The surging economy and record employment numbers are not on their retribution focused minds.

The Dems are moving at breakneck speed, hoping to beat the 2020 election clock while overturning the 2016 vote they despised. The other compelling force is the impending loss of ailing, 86-year-old Supreme Court Associate Justice, former ACLU lawyer Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It would be unthinkable to them if President Trump made a third appointment to the high court, definitively altering the composite for decades to come. These impeachment obsessed leftists take their jobs seriously. Nothing can diminish their dedication…except a good golf game, as Louisiana Democrat U.S. Rep. Cedric Levon Richmond demonstrates. He’s definitely got his priorities in order, and a guy who forges his own path. When he and his bride married, they registered for gifts at Williams Sonoma and Babies R Us.

Mark Levin, Alan Dershowitz agree impeachment is a sham

Political opposites find agreement on impeachment

If you missed Sunday’s Mark Levin program, “Life, Liberty & Levin” we are happy to bring you the important interview with Harvard law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz, a self described liberal. Although he admits voting for Hillary Clinton, Dershowitz describes impeaching President Trump under the current circumstances as an example of political tyranny, questioning the ethics of the U.S. House.

The article, “Liberal attorney Alan Dershowitz: Dems’ impeachment case doesn’t meet any credible legal standard,“ is well worth your time…especially today.

This, and more, are all available on The Blaze.

Ailing Ginsburg revs up impeachment contrivance

At their core — assuming they have one — Democrat politicos know President Donald Trump has done nothing to warrant impeachment. They’ve used every trick in the book, from bogus Russian and Chinese collusion, to Ukrainian quid pro quo dealings, which recently morphed into Godfather-like “extortion and bribery,” after deciding to “ditch the Latin,” in a futile effort to gain traction in their attempts to oust the duly elected Republican President. Nothing sticks, because there is no ‘there,’ there.

Adding urgency to their deception, the Dems are up against an 86-year old ticking time bomb whose fuse is primed to ignite. Former ACLU lawyer Ruth Bader Ginsburg was nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court by Bill Clinton. Her 1993 senate confirmation vote was nearly unanimous, with only three Republicans voting in opposition. When it suited his purpose, John McCain claimed to be pro-life. Ginsburg clearly was not, McCain voted in support of her confirmation.

Ginsburg has never hidden her contempt for the U.S. Constitution, as evidenced by this 2012 suggestion (brief video) to Egyptian revolutionaries.

Nearing 90, she has undergone repeated, serious bouts of lung, stomach and pancreatic cancers requiring surgeries and lengthy radiation treatments. Earlier this month, she missed Supreme Court oral arguments due to a stomach infection and previously, due to broken ribs suffered in a fall.

Ginsburg was initially evaluated Friday at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C. She was then admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore after experiencing what was described as “chills and fever,” where she received intravenous antibiotics and fluids, according to this Nov. 23, Supreme Court press release that minimizes the severity of her condition — though serious enough to require a change of hospitals.

Ginsburg passed on retirement during Obama’s administration, opting to be replaced by Hillary, a major miscalculation in which conservatives can rejoice. Since the election of President Trump, she has clung to the SCOTUS seat by her fingernails rather than grant him the opportunity to make a third appointment to the high court after Neil Gorsuch (2017) and Brett Kavanaugh (2018) provided a 5-4 Republican majority on the court.

On Nov. 8, 2019 SRAZ wrote, “Trump impeachment driven by specter of Ruthless Court.“ If you haven’t read it, you need to. If you did, it’s well worth reviewing. It provides the backstory to the impeachment urgency.

Campus mobs hijack free speech, stifle 1st Amendment

In light of increasing student disruptions while invited expert speakers attempt to discuss pertinent issues, Jonathan Butcher, a Senior Fellow at the Goldwater Institute, addresses the issue of demonstrators intent on canceling events by shouting down an invited guest and how school administrators should deal with those who apply the “heckler’s veto.” He writes, “School leaders must explain that this behavior is unacceptable before the events take place. Incorporating discussions about the importance of free speech into freshman orientation and adding the school’s commitment to free inquiry to student handbooks.”

The fact that this lack of respect for the First Amendment rights to which Americans are constitutionally entitled takes place on university campuses should strike fear in the hearts of us all — regardless of our political bent.

Recent incidents where mob rule has taken place include the University of Pennsylvania, which shut down an event Wednesday on immigrant detention and deportation after student protesters demonstrated against retired ICE Director Tom Homan’s appearance on the panel.

Georgetown University law school — of all places — was recently the site of another such disruption. Butcher’s opinion piece, “Free speech jeopardized on college campuses,” printed this past week in The Detroit News is definitely worth reading.

This student derision for opinions other than their own has escalated. In December 2009, SRAZ posted, “How liberals at ASU honor the First Amendment and treat guests,” which includes a video of then-Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, an invited guest, being heckled off the stage at a forum at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism.

If budding journalists and law students, who should be more aware of our enshrined freedoms than most, hold the First Amendment in contempt, what hope is there for our nation’s future?

This abhorrent trend is the direct result of leftist educrats propagandizing on the hot button issues of man-caused (rather than cyclical) climate change, recycling, identity politics, pushing gender-neutral pronouns and transgenderism, while giving short shrift to imperative studies encompassing American History, the history Western Civilization and our enviable U.S. Constitution, that provides freedoms others can only dream of attaining. 

Bigotry, anti-GOP bias reign at AZ Republic

Hatred masquerades as journalism

Arizonans foolish enough to subscribe to the shriveling yet still virulently leftist agendized Arizona Republic, know the drill.  Illegal aliens are routinely referred to as “undocumented immigrants” or “asylum-seeking migrants.” Reports about their invasion of the United States or crimes resulting in their arrest treat them with kid gloves.

The status of illegal criminals is no longer reported, since that could unfairly prejudice readers regarding their unlawful residency. Wrong-way freeway drivers who are responsible for havoc and death due to their intoxication and/or inability to read English language street signs have become routine. Reports of men engaging in sex with underage girls are increasingly frequent. Then there is the obnoxious reporting notion that only reporters with Hispanic surnames can report on Hispanic issues or defendants. That same flawed perspective doesn’t hold true with other ethnicities.

If the AZ Republic’s bias would be encapsulated, the name to file it under would be hard-core left-wing partisan EJ Montini.

His recent column refers to conservative members of Arizona’s congressional delegation who joined the larger protest of the injudicious secrecy surrounding the Democrats’ attempt to overturn, by way of impeachment, the 2016 presidential election won by Donald Trump. Marginal miscreant Montini calls elected U.S. Reps. Andy Biggs, Paul Gosar and Debbie Lesko “stooges…engaged in an ignorant, idiotic sit-in.”

The Hillary-endorsing newspaper, recently included in a buyout by a conglomerate, obviously agrees, since his obnoxiously infantile column was not excised.

Republicans didn’t support Barack Obama, who campaigned on “fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” Following his election, he embarked on a world-wide apology tour, deferentially bowing to Muslim royals, despots and others. Making deals with the devil, he delivered $1.7 billion in cash to our enemy Iran — a rogue nation that has sworn to annihilate us.  Collusion?  Obama was caught on an open mic doing exactly that with the Russian President Dmitri Medvedev.

There were no calls from the right to impeach this duly elected, though clearly anti-American, president. We waited him out and ultimately elected President Donald J. Trump.

That same reliance on our Constitutional election process has no validity with the Democrats or leftist goons exemplified by EJ Montini.

Terrified AZ Republic reporters vote to unionize

Coverage will remain biased and anti-conservative

In an effort to preserve their job security, reporters who have survived the firings and cutbacks at the increasingly feeble, Hillary-endorsing Arizona Republic have voted in favor of unionizing.

The 64-30 secret ballot vote, conducted under the supervision of the National Labor Relations Board indicates a desperate last ditch effort at self preservation.

The newspaper was recently purchased by GateHouse Media in a takeover of Gannett, the parent company of the Arizona Republic, USA Today and owner of more than a hundred other media outlets. The merger is expected to be finalized by the end of November. GateHouse has been ramping up its interest in cutting back on news operations. As part of the mega-merger, GateHouse has told federal regulators that it plans to cut as much as $300 million a year from this combined company.

Those words sounds like the death knell ringing for employees, which explains the new effort to unionize.

Ken Doctor writing for Newsonomics headlines his commentary, with the unwieldy but honest warning: “The Gannett-GateHouse merger is really happening, and expect to see more than 10% of jobs cut off the top.”

The anorexic Arizona Republic has been functioning with ASU Cronkite Journalism School student interns taking on the duties of ousted veteran reporters. Working from their cars and lacking editors, they continue the leftist slant which has resulted in massive losses of subscribers, as we noted last month in “Reasons AZ Republic continues hemorrhaging subscribers.”  We pointed out the deliberate mischaracterization of issues as the hallmark of what has been correctly identified as fake news.

October 13, 2019’s edition is a case in point. In an article titled, “Conservative publication editor misleads,” an intern takes on Daniel Horowitz, senior editor of Conservative Review. The intern repeatedly uses variations of the term “undocumented immigrant” to challenge Horowitz’ accurate assertion that “Gov. Doug Ducey applauded a reduced state college tuition rate for illegal immigrants.” The intern’s rating? “No stars…misleading.” Chief among her complaints is that children born to illegals residing in the U.S. are not illegal. To bolster her charge, she cites what noted legal analysts view as a misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment.

The actual distortions are given a voice in the Arizona Republic each and every day. The interns have been schooled in Leftism and are carrying on the tradition of those who were axed…until they find their own heads on the chopping block.

NYC language police curtail 1st Amendment, issue hefty fines

“Illegal alien” verboten as left escalates its war on free speech

The Heritage Foundation reports New York City will now impose fines up to $250,000 — per offense — on Americans who use constitutionally precise language when describing invaders.

What have we devolved to when a major U.S. city censors and penalizes citizens for using the correct legal term,” illegal alien,” that has been used in both federal immigration law and numerous court decisions?

The NYC Commission on Human Rights has issued a preposterous 29-page manual imposing guidelines on speech as it relates to illegal aliens.

The opening sentence of the Heritage Foundation report warns, “The propaganda, surveillance, and censorship of Big Brother in George Orwell’s novel “1984” has now arrived in New York.”

 SRAZ used the same analogy in 2010, describing the government imposed theft of our rights in the post, ’Orwell’s 1984: Alive and well with journalistic word police.”

You can’t put four minutes of your time to better use than acquainting yourself with this alarming curtailment of our First Amendment freedoms.

We are on the brink of sacrificing our rights on the reckless altar of political correctness. If we don’t stand up to this expansive encroachment on our constitutional freedoms, our children and future generations will rightly despise us for sitting by idly while Leftist-driven annihilation overtook us.
