Every day, the battle lines are drawn more clearly for what promises to be a memorable election. The Democrats infamously lumbered the president with an investigation into his relations with Russia that they knew to be unfounded. Then they attempted a completely spurious impeachment proceeding (with no believable evidence that he had committed the alleged offenses which, in any case, were not impeachable).And now, in response to a fortuitous virus pandemic, they purport to require President Trump to commit political suicide by shutting down the economy for so long that the soon-to-be 30 million unemployed will turn him out on election day.

All true. Add that the virus has gotten the Democrats off from scrutiny of their corruption, FISA, spying, coup attempts, and perjury. Pelosi is not re-convening the House until May. They will want to postpone everything now. Nothing is going to be done this close to an election.

This article is 100% on the button. They figure that we will turn on the President so the democrat governors are turning up the heat on their constituents. Our governor is pilling on more restrictions instead of easing them up. We in PA are going to turn on this governor and any other politician that supports his crazy lock down like hungry rats. These politicians are either with us or against us. Lives are being destroyed, families are falling apart, etc. Yes, I'm mad as hell.

We can live in God's ways or our own earthly ways. I can't stress enough that a person needs to read the Bible from beginning to end, Old Testament to New Testament. Get yourself a Life Application Bible - I have the NIV. When you read the Old Testament, a person soon learns that history can repeat itself. No different in the current times. When Donald Trump appeared on the campaign scene in 2016, my vote was going to be elsewhere. Ben Carson or Scott Walker, maybe even Ted Cruz is where I was leaning. I am learning quite fast that sometimes God chooses leaders that leave you scratching your head. I look at President Trump today and I am reminded many, many times of God's ways. I am reminded of the fact that God has the bigger picture not me.
With that said, the Democrat party as a whole wants to take God out of society. Now go to the New Testament and start reading Matthew 21 or Matthew 1, your choice. The parallels of the Easter story and everything going on as of today are startling. Again, I am reminded of the fact that God has the bigger picture not me.
Remember when your political base is all about taking God out of society and believes in abortion (people or humanity) in the manner they do, how strong of a base are they? They actually live their earthly ways.

Mostly repitition of well known facts but well said. Everything the democrats do now is selfish, greedy and anti-American. We are prepared to take some casualties but we must charge this hill.

Every Democrat Governor, making the voters in their state suffer due to frivolous demands, will show those voters the difference between a Republican who wants to get their voters back to work as fast as possible or a Democrat who is power hungry and doesn't care that those voters need their jobs back in order to survive! The President has been talking about getting people back to work for a couple week! He sees the NEED! He hears those Liberals who are demanding a vaccine (which could be a year away)! He hears the Liberals who demand a long, slow recovery. He hears the Liberals in Congress who have no plans to come back to working for their Constituents. But Trump ignores all of that white noise and goes with his instincts. He knows it's time to get this government up and running again. He knows waiting could cause Recession or Depression and it's not going to happen on his watch (no matter how much the Democrats wish for it). Trump is marching ahead to opening the USA for business and the Democrats are going to pay a price (for trying to stop him) in November!

During the Carter administration I had an aha moment, which are always difficult to convey. I remember listening to a press conference given by one of Carter's muckety mucks, and as I listened I had this feeling/thought that the guy was divorced from reality and just talking "facts" that didn't exist and thus making what today I might call fake reasoning.
I was young then, so it came as a sort of insight.
Perhaps this wuhan virus episode- if the Dims keeping talking it up as a destroyer of mankind- will deliver the same insight into the dims: they just make it up to fit the decided upon narrative.
Like the Slimes: "All the news that fits our views."

The Democrats seem hellbent on destroying the country attempting to defeat President Trump. I pray that more and more of the citizens of this country realize how hateful and destructive the Democrats are and vote them out of office.
And, I hope the RNC has the good sense to vet good candidates to run as Republicans.

8, at my USNA graduation in 1979, I got to listen to Warren Christopher talk about Jimmy Carter's SALT-2 treaty for an hour and a half. He said not one word about our graduation. I guess because we were the last all male class (LCWB), Jimmy needed to punish us...and he did.

The political elites' plan to harvest votes from the now unemployed has already backfired on them. The President has already been re-assuring them that they count and will be taken care of. Sorry for the bad news, lefties.

'Party discipline' is an interesting euphemism for arm-twisting, cash payoffs, promises of jam tomorrow, and the usual tissue of lies from the candidates and the media that individuals who had spent the previous months hissing and cursing each other were suddenly four-square behind a doddering old fool.
I can't say I'm in agreement with many of Rush Limbaugh's present-day facile explanations for certain things but it's hard to argue with his conclusion that Biden is ballast that can and must be jettisoned in 2020 to allow the keepers of various sinecures - elected, appointed, media - to hold onto them for another four years. Many will retire, the others will get a visit from the Grim Reaper.
It's a deal on a par with Jack of beanstalk fame. They are effectively forfeiting the game to the man and president they hate with a white-hot passion with some still-yet-vague hope of a viable candidate in 2024. But the sands continue to shift under their feet. The Wall is being built (finally). Judges continue to be seated. Schumer has demonstrated that the Dems in the minority will still receive the lion's share of media attention - losing the House will bother Pelosi most (may she choke on it) but many backbenchers won't notice any difference until and unless a GOP speaker holds regular order more regularly.
Finally, it's worth noting that the Dem/media axis gets most excited about a potential candidate when that potential candidate acts and sounds like a Republican ie grounded in reality.

Yeah, but they still have the race card and will use it even though it expired in 2008. Example #1 - Stacey Abrams.

I know we are not supposed to chat here at Lucianne.com but if anyone reading these words plans to vote Democrat in 2020 for any level (Governor, Senate, House or POTUS) then please tell me why! It makes no sense.
In order to re-gain control and destroy Trump the Democrats have trashed the world's best economy. Well, the laugh is on them because, honestly, the ONLY person I can think of who could re-start the broken engine of the American economy is Donald J. Trump! I will vote for him again if I have to walk over hot coals, swim shark-infested waters and crawl over broken glass.

It's all the Democrats' fault. Anyone here live in Maryland, with its Dempublican governor and his edicts in this matter? By governor's edict Texas requires anyone passing through Louisiana into Texas to go into two week self-quarantine. Florida set up border checkpoints for motorists from select NE states. So, the hysteria is bi-partisan.
Black mistakenly pins these past years of Presidential gotcha on Democrats. One had better take a hard look at the period preceding the 2018 Congressional elections, and particularly the peculiar behavior of Speaker Paul Ryan. One might ask why there was such a lackluster national campaign for Republican incumbents in competitive districts. One might conclude that the GOP forfeited that election...possibly to allow the current House to do exactly what it did: Impeach Trump. The entire series of failed coup attempts has tinges of Republican complicity to them...ask Lindsey Graham how his hearings are going, for example. Or, Richard Burr about that bi-partisan intel Gang in the Capitol basement and its behavior.
Back away from the partisan hype and accusations. It's the UNIPARTY at work. And it's far from the last card in their hands.

President Trump knows how to fight back. Conrad Black knows how to describe it in memorably pithy terms.

There’s an old adage that asks, “Who would you rather invest your money with? A money manager who has never made a million dollars or or one who has made and lost a fortune?” Pres. Trump knows how to make our nation prosperous with his America First policies. I know he will make our economy the greatest on earth again.

That pretty much sums it up, except for the fact that the dims' establishment is praying that Sleepy Joe will go on to his eternal reward right after his inauguration and make way for someone so far to the left and so inexperienced that she would never be given serious consideration for the presidency.

So called mail in voting is a real threat to legitimate democracy, as the ballots are sent out mass mailings to every registered voter, who can register almost right up to Election Day and give a mailing address, sometimes by electronic means, never having to verify their identity or that they are qualified by law to be legitimate voters.
It’s not like absentee voting where established registered voters individually apply on signed application forms for an absentee ballot.
Today there are realistically about 22 million illegal aliens in the USA. Millions of illegal aliens using assumed identities have been, and are known to falsely claim to be US citizens, a federal crime bolstered by them possessing bogus or false identification documents, or identity documents that were lawfully issued to another person. In accordance with the Clinton era so-called Motor-Voter laws, voter registrars must accept all voter registration applications at face value and are prohibited from verifying the identity or citizenship of anyone registering to vote, which is an invitation for massive voter registration fraud.
After receiving their mail in ballots there is nothing to stop Democrat community political activists and organizers from visiting fraudulent registrants homes, or the homes of deceased registrants, filling out the mail in ballots to ensure that those people vote the “right way”and then mailing the ballots back in to be counted. Since many elections these days are close, just a small percentage of fraudulent mail in votes could easily turn elections to the Democrats favor. The Democrats would not be pushing for such mail in voting if they thought in their wildest dreams that such fraudulent voting would benefit the Republicans.

#5- Very much interested in identifying the credentials, the authors/sources of the Life Application Bible. Is it a publication of a particular Christian denomination? If so, which denomination?

Great article, surely. However, there is no reason to believe this is their last card. These people are relentless. Ever hear of the Russia collusion hoax? The impeachment debacle? When you can make stuff up out of thin air, you never run out of cards to play. What's great to see is their repeated failure and increasing desperation that removes the mask that they have been hiding behind my entire life and beyond.
