Fairly long article, but VDH always worth a read:

The Military-Intelligence Complex

Many retired high-ranking military officers have gone beyond legitimately articulating why President Trump may be wrong on foreign policy, and now feel free to smear him personally or speak openly of removing their commander-in-chief from office. And the media and the bipartisan foreign-policy establishment are with them every step of the way.

But yet CNN isn’t concerned with all the things they get wrong.

Amazing Stetler gets anything done given the amount of time he spends on his knees under Jeff Zucker's desk.

The Number of Democrats Showing Up at Trump Rallies is Stunning

https://www.redstate.com/eliza...mp-rallies-stunning/



One day after the House voted along party lines to pass the impeachment inquiry resolution, President Trump held a rally at the BancorpSouth Arena in Tupelo, MS. Trump traveled to the state to support the Republican gubernatorial candidate, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves who is running against Democrat Jim Hood.

A local reporter wrote that some supporters arrived before dawn. By 10 a.m., they had begun to line up.

The arena, which has a maximum capacity of 10,000 was packed and a large overflow crowd remained outside watching on a giant television screen.

The arena was full an hour before Trump spoke.

On Sunday night, Trump’s campaign manager, Brad Parscale, released some very surprising data guaranteed to send a shiver up Democrats’ spines.

Of the 16,432 voters who provided data, 27% were Democrats. The significance of this is monumental. I wonder what the percentage of Republicans attending Democratic rallies is. I imagine it would be low to nil.

This tells us that a certain percentage of Democrats are looking at the weak field of candidates and are searching for an alternative. I would guess many of them are turned off by the injustice of the current impeachment inquiry as well as the party’s sharp left turn. It might surprise Democrats to hear that not every Democrat supports impeachment or the vision of a socialist America.

The next data point showed that 24% had voted once or less in the last four elections. Half of them have not voted at all. Can you imagine if this group were to actually go to the polls next year and cast their ballot for Trump? It’s not a crazy assumption. It takes less time and effort to cast a vote than to attend a campaign rally.

The data also showed that 20% were black. The state of Mississippi has the largest black population in the U.S. at approximately 37%. It’s also one of the reddest states. (The District of Columbia has the largest black population – 50.7%.) Still, 20% is an impressive number for African-American turnout at a Trump rally.

Parscale’s comment on this data was encouraging. He wrote, “More winning numbers that will help secure #FourMoreYears for @realDonaldTrump! Continue to outperform 2016.”

Parscale reported the data from the previous rally, held on October 17th in Dallas, TX and it was equally impressive.

First, their data showed that 53,985 voters had attended. (The Dallas venue was larger than the Tupelo venue.) The stadium had a maximum capacity of 20,000.

Next, 21.4% were Democrats.

12% of those who attended indicated they had not voted in the last four elections.

Finally, Parscale found that 11% of them were Latino. The implications of such a strong Hispanic presence lays to waste the Democratic talking point that Trump’s insistence on building a border wall and taking a tougher stand against illegal immigration is resonating. Admittedly, close to 40% of the state’s population is Hispanic compared to about 18% for the general U.S. population. Still, an 11% Hispanic turnout to a Trump rally is impressive. The Hispanic vote will have a big impact on the results in 2020.

I’ve watched the last several Trump rallies on television and I’ve concluded:

1. There is no way that any of the 2020 Democratic candidates could ever attract the crowd sizes that Trump regularly receives at his rallies.

2. Nor would supporters line up 24-48 hours to hear any of them speak.

3. No one in the current field could generate the level of excitement Trump creates routinely at these events.

4. President Trump connects with attendees on an emotional level.

5. Trump himself loves holding rallies and the crowd feels it, knows it.

He is a hard worker...7 daughters and 3 sons.

Anyone know when election returns are available ? Just saw a site which had Matt Bevin down to Beshear. This cant be.

Might be too close to call at this point. But nonetheless, that's shameful.

Try to think of something else. Read a book. Watch a movie. Do some horizontal tango.

DOJ: House Democrats’ Subpoenas ‘Legally Invalid’ If Witnesses Can’t Have Attorneys With Them
BY ZACHARY STIEBER
November 5, 2019 Updated: November 5, 2019
==========================
THE EPOCH TIMES > https://www.theepochtimes.com/...th-them_3137927.html
============================
"The Department of Justice considers subpoenas issued by House Democrats as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump “legally invalid” if Congress won’t let witnesses be accompanied by White House attorneys.

Democrats, led by House Intelligence Committee Chairman (HPSCI) Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), have continued closed-door hearings even after the passage of an impeachment resolution that enables open hearings.".......
......"“Congressional committees participating in an impeachment inquiry may not validly compel executive branch witnesses to testify about matters that potentially involve information protected by executive privilege without the assistance of agency counsel. Congressional subpoenas that purport to require executive branch witnesses to appear without agency counsel in these circumstances are legally invalid and are not subject to civil or criminal enforcement,” Engel concluded.

Any subpoenas issued before the House’s vote to advance the inquiry must be reissued to be enforceable if an agency attorney is allowed to accompany the witness, Engel also said."

It’s a done deal. Lil Andy is the winner.

The hard left poured millions into the state. 100 counties voted for Bevin. 20 voted for Lil Andy. He won by less than 5000 votes.

But, every other race went republican by a wide majority. They still hold super majorities in the house and senate.

I would not be surprised if the new AG spends most of his time suing Lil Andy. The victory is symbolic only. The amount of out of state money should have bought Lil Andy 100,000 votes.

The one thing I will say is this election was the last straw for me with the FOP. A lot of guys are leaving over the state leadership backing Lil Andy against the will of the membership. I know of no cop that supports Lil Andy.

He too will have a huge pension mess to deal with. I dont understand all of this jl, how it affects you sir and FOP but, seeing part of the last debate at NKU had me worried for Gov. Bevin.

It affects me the same way it does everyone here in the state. The national media is already crowing on how this is the "will of the people" and how the Trump effect is broken now.

It is far from it. The far left dumped over 100 million dollars into the state to defeat Bevin. And by extension defeat Trump. When it is all said and done, I think that the victory will only be by a few thousand votes. And frankly, if you look at the numbers out of Jefferson and FAyette County, Beshear should have won it in a walk.

But, he didn't. He barely won. You can't tell it by the MSM though. Lil Andy will flounder, the AG will likely sue him over everything as he did to Bevin, and he'll step on his dick enough to only be our problem for four years.

With the super majorities not going anywhere any time soon, he'll rattle his saber but the house and senate will keep him in check. Also while everyone was watching that race, we elected a state Supreme Court justice that is further right of Bevin. As well as candidates for other state offices that are far right.
