My latest update from the campaign trail.
EMANCIPATION: [2:08] – On January 1, 1863, Republicans freed the slaves. Democrats and their shills in the media denounced the Emancipation Proclamation as “a proposal for the butchery of women and children” and “an outrage of all constitutional law, all human justice, all Christian feeling.”

Excerpted from “A Response to the Editor of Christianity Today” about Mark Galli’s editorial calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
The gist of the editorial — and of most religious and conservative opposition to President Trump — is that any good the president has done is dwarfed by his character defects.
This is an amoral view that says more about Galli than it does about the president. He and the people who share his opinion are making the following statement: “No matter how much good this president does, it is less important than his character flaws.”
This simplistic view of character is wrong and devalues how much Trump’s policies have benefited millions of people.
I do not know how to assess a person’s character — including my own — outside of how one’s actions affect others. Since I agree with almost all of President Trump’s actions as president and believe they have positively affected millions of people, I have to conclude that as president, Trump thus far has been a man of particularly good character.
Of course, if you think his policies have harmed millions of people, you will assess his character negatively. But that is not what never-Trumpers and the Christianity Today editor-in-chief argue.
According to them, Trump’s have indeed helped America (and even the world), but that this fact is far less significant than his personal flaws, whatever they may be.

My latest update from the campaign trail.
TRUMP: “Someone in the car looked over and said, ‘Gee, look at that, it’s a mugging,’ Trump said. ‘I said to my driver to stop the car because it was brutal-looking’.
“Witnesses told the Daily News that Trump got out of his black stretch limousine on Monday during the assault in Manhattan. Marla Maples, who was married to Trump in the ’90s, was seen grabbing his arm.
“The guy with the bat looked at me, and I said, ‘Look, you’ve gotta stop this. Put down the bat,’ Trump said. ‘I guess he recognized me because he said, ‘Mr. Trump, I didn’t do anything wrong.’ I said, ‘How could you not do anything wrong when you’re whacking a guy with a bat?’ Then he ran away.’”

TODAY: I’m baaack! (Did anyone notice I was gone? LOL ) My puter had a glitch which, thankfully, was just a $30 fix.
Below is what I had scheduled for the 26th. As soon as that’s up, I have to start plowing through the 170 emails that piled up while I was cut off from humanity …

Excerpts from an article by Rob Natelson via The Epoch Times – Impeachment law isn’t for amateurs. It rests on English parliamentary history extending at least as far back as the 1300s. Furthermore, impeachment standards evolved over time. To understand the Constitution’s rules, we must know what the standards were when the Constitution was adopted. We can do so by consulting 18th-century parliamentary records and legal materials.
Here’s some of what they tell us:
- The term “high Crimes” means, approximately, “felonies.”
- The phrase “high … Misdemeanors” refers to what the founding generation called “breach of trust” and what modern lawyers call breach of fiduciary duty. Fiduciary duties are the legal obligations imposed upon those who manage the affairs of other people—bankers, corporate executives, accountants, guardians, and so forth. In broad outline, fiduciary law when the Constitution was adopted was similar to what it is today. …
