"A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents, will not have true respect for anyone." Billy Graham

There are Rules of Engagement. For everything.
They're not like the Rules of Engagement Obama/McChrystal set up for our soldiers in 2009.
The ones that made them wait to shoot until they "saw the whites of the enemy's eyes." To save civilian casualties, but which resulted in doubling casualties among our soldiers.
Real rules have to do with fairness. They're written down in black and white so they're easy to follow.
Like in the Constitution. Like the Rule of Law.
"Innocent until proven guilty" is one of them. "Producing evidence," if you want to send someone up the river, or impeach him, is another.
Because despite the Democrat Party, this country is not a Banana Republic, and it doesn't run Kangaroo Courts.
No matter how much you want it, or who you are, you cannot change the qualifications for president willy nilly. Even if you are the governor of California and you want to leave Donald Trump off the state's primary ballot.
The qualifications are clearly stated, in our Constitution, Article II, Section I, Clause 5. Sorry Gavin.
And so are the guidelines for Impeachment. You cannot impeach a president just because you don't like him, and because Hillary didn't win.
The law is well settled. An Accuser must prove the Accused's guilt. With evidence. It is not the Defendant's burden to prove his innocence.
And it's not President Trump's burden.
Yesterday Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi announced the opening of an "Impeachment Inquiry," by Democrats, without evidence of "high crimes and misdemeanors." We thought Nadler had already done that, though poorly, with his interrogation of Corey Lewandowski a couple of days ago.
But nonetheless, Pelosi went ahead, on the hope that a phone conversation between Trump and Ukraine President Zelensky would seal Trump's fate.
The Democrats were incensed and demanded the release of the phone transcript. So President Trump released it. Today.
But Pelosi didn't wait to read it.
Instead she relied on the Washington Post, and The New York Times' speculatation on the conversation, and the Trump-hatred of her pals, Representatives Schiff, Cummings, Lewis, Waters and Nader, along with Democrat Committee Heads, to provide all the "evidence" she needed.
Of course, that's not the way it's done. But after "Russia, Russia, Russia, Racism and Recession didn't do the trick;
After Mueller let them down;
And as Leftist-Anti-Semitic-Anti-American "Squad" continued to give Pelosi a tough time for dragging her feet in their quest to impeach, she caved.
She ratified Nadler's "Impeachment Inquiry," which by-passed the process specifically outlined in the Constitution, which requires as a first step, a majority vote by the House.
"A tiny percentage of the House of Representatives; a tiny percentage of the population of the United States is going to drag this entire nation through their Left-Wing hell because this is something they've been dreaming to do from the moment this president was elected," Mark Levin told host Alex Marlow on Breitbart News Day.
However, there is a bright side to all this.
The Democrat's plot to impeach Trump, or at least cripple his re-election campaign, backfired on them. It opened a can of worms. Shot them in the foot.
It pulled the Joe and Hunter Biden-Ukraine/China scandal out there, for all to see. And it's a corruption biggie.
Peter Schweizer wrote about it in 2018 in his book, "Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Famiily and Friends," that's how long the Biden corruption has been out there.
The media and the Democrats ignored it then. But thanks to the Democrat's clumsy attempt to impeach Trump, it won't be ignored this time around.
Because the DNC wants to dump Joe, just like they dumped Bernie in favor of Hillary back in 2016.
Hold the line, America.
Where We Go One, We Go All
Stay strong, Patriots.
