EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: Even 61% of Democrats don’t believe Trump will be removed. “The survey suggests that the Democratic drive to impeach the president on charges of abuse of power and obstruction hasn’t won over any new supporters despite two weeks of hearings and today’s announcement of articles of impeachment to be voted on as early as next week.”

Plus: Rand Paul: More Democrats to oppose impeachment, rips Schiff on phone logs. “Portraying the removal drive against President Trump as ‘purely partisan,’ Sen. Rand Paul believes more Democrats will oppose impeachment in the House vote next week, and at least two Democratic senators may vote against conviction.”

And, humiliatingly: Top 2020 stories: Jussie Smollett hoax, Epstein death eclipsed impeachment. “Even with most of the media promoting their case against President Trump, Democrats still failed to make impeachment the top story in 2020.”

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL IS AN ENEMY OF FREEDOM: Recently, a pro-Israel group at York University in Ontario held an event that featured former Israeli soldiers. Violence ensued, apparently precipitated by leftist protesters. And Amnesty Canada blames.… York University for allowing the event to proceed, and allowing members of the public to attend:

Given conflicting views about what happened that evening, the worrying ongoing impact on students at York and the important human rights considerations that are at stake, Amnesty International urges York University to go further and convene an independent review of all circumstances associated with the Herut Zionism Club event and its aftermath, with a mandate that includes examination of:
considerations that were taken into account in approving the event, including the fact that the speakers were former members of a military with a clear record of responsibility for war crimes and other serious human rights violations; decisions made with respect to the presence of members of the Jewish Defense League on campus.

LAURENCE JARVIK ASKS THE OBVIOUS QUESTION: If the Navy can’t protect a Navy base, how can it protect America? Honestly, based on recent experience it seems like a handful of armed and trained men could terrorize/paralyze a military base and kill scores. That’s not how it’s supposed to be.

MAYBE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS ALWAYS SUCKED:

OH, GROW UP: Lisa Page sues FBI and DOJ, citing ‘cost of therapy’ after Trump mocked her salacious text messages.

“My boss got mad at me for sexting with a married man on a company phone while we were also plotting against him, and now I’m emotionally disturbed,” doesn’t seem like a very solid basis for a lawsuit.

This was a saner country when people who did that kind of thing were mocked out of public life, rather than treated as victims and celebrities.
