Today’s CG is from yesterday’s Arkansas Gazette, and it's a goodon'. Before you get started, take a deep breath, look at the name of the author for a bit, esp the second word of the name…which should give you the last name, start your timer, and then you should be off to the races.

I’ve always believed sunlight is the best disinfectant. If the Senate insists on making President Trump’s impeachment trial an even bigger circus by calling additional witnesses, then let’s call all the witnesses. Because this is about much more than President Trump; this is about who runs the country – the American voters, or the Washington Establishment. The Democrats, the Never-Trump Republicans, the anti-Trump media, the administrative state, the permanent bureaucracy and the special interest groups still haven’t gotten over the 2016 election. They are horrified at the prospect that American voters could reelect Trump in November. Let the American people...

Costa Crociere confirmed the ship, carrying some 7,000 people including the crew, was...

Three days ago, the Chinese government reported 1,771 new cases. That was a surge from the previous day, when they reported 769 new cases. So, when the number of new cases fell two days ago to 1,459, it seemed that perhaps that surge was perhaps an artifact of reporting. For instance, maybe some sources had been quicker in reporting new cases than they had been previously. But they yesterday, the number of new cases remained below that peak, 1,732. Clearly, the epidemic still represents a grave threat. It would be insane to declare the crisis over. But since the news...

Sidney Powell has the corrupt DOJ lawyers on their heels. – Some big developments took place in the case involving the coerced guilty plea by General Michael Flynn on Wednesday, as both sides made a series of key filings with the court. First, General Flynn filed a motion to dismiss the case entirely, citing an array of government misconduct that is backed up by overwhelming documentary evidence. Second, General Flynn filed a declaration requesting the court allow him to remove his plea of guilty entirely, citing misleading statements and document revisions by the FBI agents who performed the January, 2017...

During President Donald J. Trump's impeachment trial, we'll hear a lot of talk about our rules for governing. One frequent claim is that our nation is a democracy. If we've become a democracy, it would represent a deep betrayal of our founders, who saw democracy as another form of tyranny. In fact, the word democracy appears nowhere in our nation's two most fundamental documents, the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. The founders laid the ground rules for a republic as written in the Constitution's Article IV, Section 4, which guarantees "to every State in this Union a Republican...

Better to have the pig farmers than the bleating pig herself. – At Wednesday’s signing ceremony for the huge US/Mexico/Canada Trade Agreement (USMCA), President Donald Trump ensured that representatives from the nation’s hog farmers were in attendance, given the deal’s heavy focus on pork and agricultural goods. But here’s who he didn’t invite to be there the landmark agreement was signed into law: After allowing many of her House Democrats vote for the bill along with the Republicans in December, Pelosi made a point of claiming to have forced “major revisions” to the initial draft that had been agreed-to by...

Have you heard that the president has been impeached? Seriously, the trial is happening right now in the U.S. Senate. I’m kidding. Of course, you can’t escape the news because it’s the only thing the “news” is talking about. We’re in the middle of the most choreographed foregone conclusion in history and the media is treating it like a whodunit. But the suspense is akin to a murder mystery where there are two people in a room and one of them ends up dead. We know the outcome. It’s time to move on.But while the press is single-minded in their...

One of the main irritants of the three explanatory days given to each side in the impeachment trial was the stultifying predictability. I obviously agreed with one side and disagreed with the other, but after a while I was able to recite their arguments in my sleep. The Wednesday Senators’ question period at least offered the possibility of some unscripted moments that might provide a spark of unpredictability to liven up the proceedings for a numb audience. It was not to be. The air hung thick with coordination on all sides as it became obvious that Democrat Senators would toss...
