The final nail in the coffin for Biden? Decades-long Classified Documents. - 2/11/24
Divine Intervention? In the neck of time for the 2024 presidential election.
Special Counsel Robert Hur used the word - Poor in his scathing report. The word poor itself is very powerful and bold. Very insulting for Biden, which is why he was losing his "mind" in his surprise press conference last week. Hur could have used a more subtle word describing Biden's state of mind. Diminished, diluted or declining. But POOR?! Maybe since Hur could not indict Biden he used that fundamental word? Just to settle a score with Biden?
What will become of Jack Smith's Trump classified documents case in Florida? And the DC case? That's probably why the judge Chutkan vacated the case from the court calendar not long ago.
Truth is getting stronger by a little bit and a little bit as the big picture is becoming more clearer.

My take on the CO ballot argument. 2/10/24
My take is that Jason Murray was unprepared for the session before the US SC. Jason and Shannon Stevenson should have swapped the positions, especially because Shannon and Jonathan Mitchell hold the same job title in their respective states, Colorado and Texas. Their job title is the State Solicitor.

Mike Davis' prediction...
I was wondering who Mike Davis was talking to in front of the camera. It was Real America's Voice. I found out last night.
During commercial breaks, Mike and I were chatting. He is super nice!

Impromptu vlog from yesterday's (2/6/24) events - 2/7/24
Some important pieces of information with my perspective on the following:
- Mayorkas impeachment vote on House floor
- Immunity denied for PDJT from the Appeals Courts
- $17 Billion Aid for Israel vote, a standalone bill on House floor
- Michigan mother guilty for involuntary manslaughter for her son's criminal act
- Nevada Primary - Haley lost by 30+ points.
Immunity decision by the Appeals Court was quick. I was surprised by the timing. Not good. Immunity involves a US president is a very sensitive issue. External (outside) pressure influenced the panel of 3 judges. DOJ DAG Lisa Monaco and Mary McCord played a role?
Potentially, many cans of worms opening ... in light of immunity - parents/guardians/foster parents liable for their children's legal misdeeds? Same with government officials at all levels. And anyone!
Haley did not learn from Hillary's 2016 remarks (basket of deplorables) prior to 2016 election.
As they say, "elephants don't forget easily"
House speaker Mike Johnson had a good, timely strategy yesterday? Exposed hypocrisy by democrats and RINOs on both the impeachment and Israel votes before this year's caucus/primary and general elections.
Mayorkas impeachment vote again, later this month when Steve Scalise (LA) returns to work from his cancer treatments. A election in Long Island, NY for George Santos who was expelled for ethics violations is next week. Moore, R-(UT-01) changed his vote to NAY at the end to save for a re-vote at a later date. Buck from CO and McClintock from CA-05 voted NAY. So did Gallagher from WI-08. Consider voting Gallagher out in primary or general election, maybe? The border issue is of the utmost importance. He had NO excuse to say AYE.
Some people jokingly call DC "District of Crime". I have had to watch my back when going into town for events like congressional hearings. no milling around between events. "Bee-Lines" going from event 1 to another or from event to right back out of DC.
Will vlog on Deaf J6er next week, probably two parts.

US Appeals Process - How it affects the CO ballot and Presidential Immunity cases? - 2/5/24
Thought I would explain the process today so you would know what to expect from this Thursday's oral argument on the Colorado ballot and the ongoing deliberation on the presidential immunity for PDJT at the Appeals Court in DC.
Confirmed: Trump's reply brief (it is optional) is due today, February 5th.
The process, as explained in the vlog, is as follows:
Civil Case:
Either side may appeal a verdict
Criminal Case:
- Defendant may appeal a guilty verdict.
- Government may not.
- Either side may appeal with respect to the sentence that is imposed after a guilty verdict. For example, 20 years sentence. Trump opposes and appeals. On the other hand, the government says 20 years is too short, it can appeal. Only after a sentence is announced in a sentencing hearing.
Time Length:
- 1 month to 1 year or more
- Average = 4 - 6 months
Reason for time length:
- Written briefs and oral arguments, depending on complexity of issue, number of briefs presented...
- Deliberation and decision, panel of 3 judges may be short, 9 justices at the US Supreme Court, it may take longer, depending on when they first hear oral arguments and a number of briefs presented and precedent cases cited. The more the longer it takes to make a decision.
- Take time as needed to consider evidence (if any or where applicable) and render a decision impacting Americans of present and future.

My observation of the impeachment committee markup hearing on 1/30/24. - 2/1/24
https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-resolution/863
Process explained - amendment in the nature of a substitution used in the hearing.
5 minute rule for each member and how it works and how members used the rule to their advantage.
History of unsuccessful impeachment attempts
Two important things I forgot to mention in the vlog: Policy vs Law and Operational Control. Democrats were defending Mayorkas fiercely by saying he did not break the law. Rather, the operational control was in question. The Republican side kept saying it was the law Mayorkas repeatedly ignored and broke law.
The democrats replied on media reports in defense of Mayorkas. They would read aloud from parts of articles they picked up.

Obama said "Alligators" in his speech in 2011! Dem Garcia wasn't aware beforehand?
See Obama's video in the link below:

Right now it is 5:45. The hearing is still in progress, maybe until midnight 1/30/24
In simple words, a full committee markup is an important formal step for a bill to advance to the floor for a vote. In this case, MTG introduced a bill - House Res. 863 in November 2023.
Right now, the committee is debating, amending and voting on the bill. When an amendment is brought up, it's debated by everyone on both sides (republicans and democrats) until they are satisfied then vote on the amendment. So on... it takes time until both sides are satisfied with all amendments they have debated and voted. Then vote on the amended bill. Go or down before it goes to the full floor.
Interesting process. Fun watching how it plays out in person. Luckily deaf people now have an app to convert speech to text. Or watch this proceeding on Cspan with CC on your phone which I am using mine. Fun!

A cafeteria in the Rayburn House Office building
I had lunch there after watching Judge Chutkan's trial two blocks away. I sat behind Barry Loudermilk in the cafeteria dining area. I approached and met him. A very nice person. Quite a folksy. I told him we Americans are proud of him for his spectacular job in getting the paperwork from the illegitimate Jan 6 committee. He told me it had not been easy but he was getting there. His staff was doing the hard work. He was very appreciative of the staff.
Good food there! Soup awesome!
I had a long and meaningful day:
1.) Watching Youngkin's speech and other VIPs' in Alexandria, Virginia;
2.) Watching Judge Chutkan presiding a trial at the courthouse for a few minutes;
3.) Lunch at Rayburn
4. Watching one hearing: women's 2nd amendment testimony in the Rayburn building: https://judiciary.house.gov/committee-activity/hearings/second-amendment-rights-empower-womens-rights
5.) Watching one hearing: DHS CISA testimony in the Cannon building:

Cannon House Office Building on Independence Avenue
This building is where many TV reporters provide their reports on the second floor in the building. When you see reporters behind nice marble columns, they are in the Cannon building. Beautiful architecture...

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, a future U.S. President?
On December 13, 2023, I went and listened to several VIPs giving their speeches in support of a new arena for the Washington Capitals of the NHL and the Washington Wizards of the NBA. Ted Leonsis the owner of the teams has explored his option to move to Alexandria, Virginia from DC.
Mr. Youngkin presented himself very well in his speech. Very presidential! Air of hope and enthusiasm. Very articulate. I was very impressed with him.
That morning, around the same time, Hunter Biden with his lawyer Abe, came out and had a short press conference outside the Capitol building. https://www.staradvertiser.com/2023/12/13/photo-gallery/hunter-biden-defies-house-subpoena-speaks-outside-capitol/

Lawfare on Full Display, how so? - 1/28/24
Lawfare for real...? You decide. Our constitutional rights are being violated. Not just PDJT. Not just Peter Navarro. Not just J6ers but literally many of us. The J6 setup was framed to keep us from rightfully and legally voicing our concerns about the constitutional law aspects of our society.
Excellent video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ma3Em8pqVs
The E. Jean Carroll defamation case is a prime example of lawfare. No evidence presented. No beyond a reasonable doubt.

My observation of the hearing in the courtroom today. - 1/25/24
Peter Navarro stood besides the defense table (to the left wall) the entire time while everyone sat. Judge Mehta seemed reasonable and rational, not like Judge Kelly who presided the Enrique Tarrio's sentencing hearing. Kelly was quite animated when talking and even when listening.
Hearing started at 10:03... on time when the judge Mehta came into the courtroom. He was all business. The proceeding started almost immediately. The judge barely said anything before he let lawyers talk.
On a side note: I saw Ashli Babbitt's mother there and I was sitting next to her. we exchanged hellos, that was it.
Government lawyer 1 (GL1) before the judge and spoke for 30 seconds.
Defense lawyer 1 (DL1) spoke 15 minutes --- 10:08 to 10:23
I moved further left to the left wall for better viewing and hoped to be able to read the judge'a lips. Not a success.
GL1 spoke 1 minute --- 10:24
DL1 13 minutes --- 10:25 to 10:38
GL1 1 sec "no further statement"
Judge spoke 20 minutes, ending @10:56
GL1 4 minutes ending @10:59
DL1 35 minutes ending @11:34
Peter Navarro spoke for 7 minutes - he was articulate with arm and hand movements. He was pointing at the gallery several times. He pointed towards his defense table as well. He was very steady on his feet. Composure was professional and appropriate. His statement ended @11:41.
Recess at 11:41 for 10 minutes. Judge returned at 11:58. I went out of the room checking my emails and texts. Also chatting with a couple of people I recognized from the Trump immunity oral arguments.
Judge spoke 30 minutes. He was glancing back to his right in the direction of Peter. Constant eye contact for a time. Statement ended at 12:32.
GL2 spoke 1 minute
Judge sentenced Peter Navarro to 4 months and $9,500 fine. I was not aware of the fine until later. I asked one person who was taking extensive notes what was happening when the judge left the room. She said, "it's over... 4 month sentence."
Many people flew out of the room... assuming they were going to the media room on the first floor. I milled around in the courtroom. Peter didn't appear distraught or anything like that. He knew the fate. Same charge as Steven Bannon so Peter was expecting 4 months. Government was proposing 6 months and $200k fine. Peter was chatting with his lawyers a bit. They then went to a lawyer lounge for a few minutes (filing the appeal?) before they left the courthouse at the same time I did.
