A tale of two quids
Unless you haven’t been paying attention, you know that ‘quid pro quo’ is this season’s ‘Russian collusion’. A meme that is ubiquitous but also empty

Trump vs. the ‘Policy Community’
We resolve policy disputes by elections, not impeachments.
Roger Kimball
A supremely important piece by @AndrewCMcCarthy on the critical question of who runs our government. According to the deep state, they, the unelected bureaucrats, do. According to the Constitution, the President does.

Adam Schiff's 'ham sandwich': Not an inquiry, just a show
With the Democrats' case against Trump going on national television, fundamental fairness dictates that it be the whole case.
Roger Kimball
Don’t miss @AndrewCMcCarthy on the Schiff Show—“not inquiry, show.” How long will the American people put up with the malignant nonsense being dispensed by these crazed anti-Trump fanatics?

Facebook is deleting the name of the potential whistleblower
Facebook says it is deleting the name of the person who has been identified in conservative circles as the whistleblower who triggered a congressional impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump's actions. Facebook says it is removing mentions...

I wonder if it is true that Facebook is deleting the name "Eric Ciaramella," the Ukraine "whistleblower" and anti-Trump activist, from posts?

Roger Kimball
So, The Editorial Board (pbui) of @nytimes, our former paper of record, adopts a concerned tone and offers the GOP some advice to "save the Republic." Can you guess? Yes! Dump @realDonaldTrump How kind of them. My latest at @theamgreat
