That's the slogan of the Serv-Pro Company that cleans up disasters to property to make it look like the disaster never really happened. That slogan could actually be applied to the actions of the feckless Democrats who claim that all that is wrong in the United States is all the fault of President Trump, and that the Democrats have done nothing wrong, only President Trump and the Republicans. It seems that the Democrats want us to believe that they are “purer than the
driven snow” like their actions, in trying to undermine President Trump, “like it never really happened”.

The Democrats claim that President Trump committed “high crimes and misdemeanors”, but from all testimony that was provided to the “Kangeroo Court” conducted by Chairman Adam Schiff, not one of the hand-picked testifiers could name one high crime or misdemeanor that President Trump committed, even though Schiff claims otherwise. So the question is, what act did President Trump commit that can be used to legally impeach him? It seems that the only “ high crimes and misdemeanors” that President Trump did commit, in the Democrats eyes, was that he won the 2016 election, and the Democrats will not forgive him for that “indiscretion”.

For three years, President Trump has been harassed by both the Democrats and their lackey's in the main stream media, with constant accusations that he should be impeached and removed from office. This has been going on since the day after (even before) President Trump was inaugurated as president. A sane person might ask, what “high crimes and misdemeanors” did President Trump commit on the first day after he was sworn in to warrant impeachment?

Not having anything of value to impeach President Trump from that day forward, the Democrats along with the “fake news media”, have been looking for anything Trump said or did that would warrant his impeachment. The Mueller Report fizzled out by finding, after 2.5 years of intense investigation by a gaggle of of hand-picked Democrat lawyers, that Trump was not guilty of collusion and obstruction of justice with the Russians. Strike one for the Democrats in their obsessive quest to remove Trump from office, so they then had to find something else to hang their hat on to attempt to impeach him.

Strike two, fast forward to the next “high crime and misdemeanor” conjured up by the Democrats, was the phone call between President Trump and the Ukraine President Zelensky. The “blood sucking” Democrats have claimed that President Trump tried to undermine our national security by asking Zelensky to investigate the Biden's, both Joe and his son Hunter. The transcript of the phone call showed no “quid pro quo” between the presidents happened and that President Zelensky has stated, quite a few times since, that he was not pressured
by President Trump to do anything improper, a claim backed up by the Ukraine Foreign Minister who also heard the phone call. But, the Democrats, by parsing the words stated in the phone call, are using what was said by President Trump as a means of initiating an article of
impeachment.

The Articles of Impeachment, drawn up by the Democrats, is looked upon by many legal scholars, including Alan Dershowitz as one, as nothing more than a partisan “hit job” on President Trump by his political enemies.

Finally, strike three, in my opinion, will be the Special Investigator Report by John Durham that will “blow the lid off” the phony investigation by Adam Schiff, Jerrold Nadler, and Nancy Pelosi. Their investigation methods, by denying “due process” to President Trump by acting out their hatred for the president, is being “whitewashed” by both the Democrats and the media like their this sham investigation “never really happened” and will come back to bite them in the butt big time in the 2020 election by re-electing President Trump. No matter how hard the Democrats try to spin their actions, they should remember that they “cannot polish horse manure”.

Conservative commentary by Chuck Lehmann

While watching on Wednesday, House chairman Gerald Nadler conducting 
an impeachment hearing against the President, it consisted of three biased 
law professors with no direct factual connection pertinent to the accusations,
except to perpetuate the farce, and a fourth agreed to for the opposition, also 
partial to the same party affiliation as the chairman.

After eight hours and twenty-five minutes of viewing and failing to identify the
reason for this session, I looked up the word 'schmuck' in my abridged
dictionary and it was defined as 'Democrat'.

The three Democrat picks proved to be advocates against the President, and
the fourth, although a Democrat who voted against him and the last few
Republicans, was the only one who gave definitive reasons why the evidence
so far, has failed to reach the level of impeachment.

Nancy Pelosi is firewalking her followers into a 2020 election disaster, if she
allows it's resolution in a Senate trial.

Conservative Commentary by George Giftos

To listen to former Pres. Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren, and others in the political hierarchy, you'd think that the greatest threat to world peace is “global warming” (a/k/a climate change). Do you believe them?

Yes, there are catastrophes that occur around the world that cause death, injury, and destruction to innocent people, and that has been going on since recorded history, even before the use of fossil fuels. Mother Nature is responsible, not man for these climate Armageddons, so how can man control Mother Nature?

Realistically, can these “doom and gloom” climate change agitators prove that they can prevent tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, droughts, floods and a host of other dire happenings that occur every year somewhere around the world? What's amazing is that if you question these "chicken little's", you are deemed an "evil" climate change denier, and in some cases, are deemed to be subject to criminal charges (ex: Sen. Sheldon Whiteside of Rhode Island, once proposed a bill to make “deniers” subject to R.I.C.O. Statutes). Can you imagine, so-called intelligent politicians (and citizens), who want to prosecute others who have a different view from theirs, are to be considered possible criminals? Is that a rational mindset?

Around the world today, we have Islamist terrorists cutting off heads, burning people alive, raping women and young girls etc. and those "global warming" fanatics claim that man-made global warming is the greatest threat to mankind today? The data has shown that for the past 20 years we have been in a global cooling period, and that the disastrous consequences that they have predicted over the years were just erroneous speculation based on false emotion and not on scientific fact. Al Gore won a Nobel Prize for his movie, "An Inconvenient Truth", but after close scrutiny, the film was discredited and deemed factually incorrect in many of its claims. Al Gore claimed that man-made global warming was "settled science", but many highly reputable climatologists have debunked the theory put forth by Al Gore and other climate change alarmists. Some prominent "deniers" are Dr. Richard Lindzen, meteorologist and Alfred P. Sloan professor of climatology at M.I.T.; Dr. Timothy Ball, former meteorology professor at the Univ. of Winnipeg; and the late John Coleman, meteorologist and founder of the “Weather Channel” who called the theory of man-made global warming "the biggest scientific scam in history". Should those prominent scientists be subject to criminal charges because they question the man-made global warming theory? Might that not go against the 1 st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution?

So, when our leaders claim that "climate change" is the greatest threat to civilization, you have to wonder about their mental states. As the old saying goes, "You can't fool Mother Nature", overrides any claim that man can change the environment other than by keeping it clean and free of debris.

Conservative commentary by Chuck Lehmann

To listen to some far-left loons, our Constitution is a worthless piece of paper that is out of touch with present day Americans. Imagine this group of political losers, representing mostly Democrats and anarchists, trying to undermine over 225 years of progress as envisioned by the “founding fathers”? Our Constitution is looked upon, all over the world, as the “holy grail” of what many freedom thinking countries and governments have used as a blueprint for their
own constitutions.

These “hate America” advocates can't seem to get it through their thick heads that the reason why America is #1 in the world, with all its warts, and it will remain so if we elect people into office who will strive to put America first. These misguided people are so ignorant that whenever anything negative happens in the world, they will blame their own country first. These American bashers come in all colors, all religions, and all genders. One reason for this illogical increased animus toward their own country is that our educational system has very cleverly indoctrinated our students into believing that their anarchist, anti-American philosophy is the way to go and what to believe. A large majority of today's students and young people believe that socialism is a better, more fairer economic system than is capitalism, the #1 type of economic philosophy that has made the United States the greatest country in the world, the place where most people in the world would like to emigrate to today. The indoctrination of these malleable “heads full of mush” are easily led astray to this illogical conclusion by the aforementioned liberal Marxist/Socialist teachers and professors, that make up most of the faculties in our primary and secondary schools, and in our colleges and universities. It is estimated that 80% to 90% of all educators fall into this leftist category rut. The cry on most campuses is for “diversity”, but it seems that their “diversity” excludes “diversity” of faculty and opposing opinions. A quote from Sir Winston Churchill, years ago, seems to sum up the dichotomy of young and old, and it still has resonance today. He said; “If you are not a liberal (a/k/a Progressive) by the age of 20, you have no heart, and if you are not a conservative by the age of 40, you have no brains”. As true as that statement might be, the younger generation makes up a sizable portion of the electorate (along with the special interest leftist-leaning minority groups) that they will determine to, or attempt to, do away with our venerated Constitution or parts thereof.

This whole scenario by some Democrats, “Never-Trumpers” and the far-left, of trying to have President Trump impeached or to have him resign, on an almost daily basis, is one of the methods they're using to undermine our democratic republic. As the Constitution that was written by our “founding fathers” to prevent “tyranny of the majority”, it now must confront the attack on our democratic institutions by what might be called the “tyranny of the minority”. President Trump must succeed in his quest to “drain the swamp” and to “Make America Great Again” or we will slowly sink into the abyss of global decay like that of Cuba, Venezuela, Syria, Iran, Somalia, and Libya etc. Pray that the U.S.A. can survive this onslaught against our constitution by these anti-American zealots. It should be reread, not rewritten.

Conservative commentary by Chuck Lehmann

When is it going to end? Democrats, led by Rep. Jerry Nadler, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and his band of  idiots, supported by contenders for the presidency nomination,  are trying to stage their own ' March to the Sea," laying a wide swarth of destructive innuendos and accusations  with threats to impeach anyone backing President Trump.

No one is safe from this insane tactic, to eliminate a capable and efficient leader, if you stand in their way.

Their efforts are abetted by the mainstream media with noncredible information, distorting facts and smearing the reputation of honorable men who are serving the public, to discredit them; evidenced by the NY Times latest unverified attacks on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, to hedge their bets against another constitutional justice, anticipating that the Republicans will maintain the presidency.

Conservative Commentary by George Giftos

Lately, that's what has been happening in our country by the slow erosion of our American Judeo-Christian values that we have championed over the years and that have made us the preeminant country of the world. Most objective sane observers would concur with that statement.

But, in our midst there are a gaggle of self-hating Americans. Our ex-President Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Adam Schiff, Ilhan Omar etc. who would like to see a “total transformation” of our social and economic society, but they are smart enough to not openly push their agenda too fast down the throats of the American public. They talk out of both sides of their mouths, and never admit to their true intentions. So, if the radical lefty loons can regain power after the next election, the pace of “transformation” will be accelerated, and the country we have known since its inception will become a distant memory. Obama started out with his ill-timed health
care bill, (known as Obamacare), that constituted the government takeover of 1/6 of our economy. The Democrats, ignoring the will of the people, passed this legislative monstrosity with just Democrat votes and no input, of any substance, by the Republicans. The Democrats hail this as a success and an achievement, but more than 60% of the public don't like it and want it repealed. Today, the lefty loons want “Medicare for All” with a price tag of over $50 trillion in ten years. That will be one part of the “transformation” that will cost the Democrats the election of 2020, along with the fact that all Democrats voted against the Trump tax cuts and tax reform. Luckily for us, much of the other policies put forth by Obama and the Democrats to “transform” our country, were thwarted by mainly the Republicans with the election of Donald Trump, with very few courageous Democrats bucking their party.

But, all is not well in “River City” (from the play the Music Man), for over the past 50 years, we've seen the slow erosion of things that we once held dear that seem to no longer matter. Some of these erosion's of our values are: the breakup of the family by having the government intrude in our everyday lives (ex. since the “War on Poverty” was instituted by LBJ in 1965, today, 70% of the black births and 40% of other races births are conceived out of wedlock and mostly with no father at home); the assault on the institution of marriage, as had been passed down to us over the centuries, that marriage is defined as being between one man and one woman, is no longer looked upon as being the norm. Now we've been told by the “P.C. Police” that same sex marriage is just as normal as the original pairing of a man and woman, and if you disagree you are then referred to as a bigoted homophobe at worst and an intolerant lunatic at best; and that a person being religious is somehow looked upon as that person being illiberal and oppressive, and in addition that person is tobe looked upon as being stupid for being a believer, that taking and using drugs should be legalized as being a normal fact of life, mainly because it is too difficult to control, so why bother; and being a success in life is not to be considered an inspiration by the many, but a grievance by the few outspoken lefty loons among us, as being a success means you must've gotten to be a success by trampling upon the rights of others. Hard work and perseverance doesn't seem to matter to them, they want to share the fruits of your labor to people who didn't earn it in the first place, the old robbing Peter to pay Paul syndrome.

There are other examples of how we have “defined deviancy down” (a phrase coined by the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan), to where many of our younger people today don't know the difference between right from wrong and they think that the world owes them a living. That is the little by little, and drip by drip I was referring to in the headline of this column. We will join the demise of the once great Roman Empire if we don't turn things around, and a good start will be by turning out and voting out the “transformation” rascals in 2020. It's later than you think, so go out now and do the right thing. All is not lost, yet! So, let's “Make America Great Again”, support President Donald Trump and his “America First” agenda.

Conservative commentary by Chuck Lehmann

The headline is a play on the words of that famous poem by Emma Lazarus that appears on a plaque at our Statue of Liberty, but holds some relevance in today's political climate as you listen to the candidates vying for the Democrat nomination for president.

They pretend to empathize for the masses by offering free stuff to everyone, but if their policies ever became law, our whole society will go to hell in hand basket. They must think that the average Joe is stupid to believe in those pie-in-the-sky appeals of getting something for nothing. There is a little bit of greed in all of us, but common sense, by a good portion of our citizens, will realize that there is no such thing as a “free lunch”.

Let's examine what these “charlatans” are offering up to our voters. 

​A few have tied their wagon to the concept of “Medicare for All”, which would carry a price tag of over $50 trillion over 10 years. Totally unrealistic and a budget buster for sure, but both Bernie and Elizabeth are dead serious. You could say that both missed their Economics 101 class in college (maybe not, as most of the college professors are Marxist/Socialists). They want government controlled health care as being the best method of providing health care. Maybe they should look at other government run agencies like the Veterans Administration, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Post Office, Amtrak, and the two senior citizen agencies, Medicare and Social Security, which are slowly going bankrupt in just a few years.

All the candidates raised their hands “YES” when asked if the would give free health care to illegal aliens. Can you believe that? They even want to give illegals free college and welfare benefits, besides prepping them for citizenship (so they could vote Democrat in the future).

When the new princess of the Democrat Party, AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) latched onto the “Green New Deal”, all the candidates jumped on the bandwagon. They claim that we only have 12 years before a catastrophic climate crisis occurs which shows the shallow thinking of these nondescript characters running for office. Some also have stated that they want to confiscate the guns of law-abiding citizens. Thank God Beto O'Rourke has dropped out of the primary, but others have voiced similar restrictions on the 2nd Amendment.

Most all have said that they would repeal the Trump tax cuts, claiming that ONLY the rich have benefited from the tax cuts. Either they are blinded to the facts by their loony liberal ideology, or they just hate Trump so much they don't want to give credit for anything Trump has accomplished. It is a fact that approximately 85% of all tax payers received over $2500 in savings on their taxes. The stock market has soared to record highs, and over 6 million jobs have been created since Trump took office. Over 6 million people have been weaned off food stamps because of the roaring economy, and the unemployment rate is at all-time low, which has benefited both the working poor and middle class. More people are employed today than ever before, and still the “sore loser” Democrats claim that our economy is a mirage and that President Trump had nothing to do with the booming economy. And these candidates want the American voters to scrap all these gains for their Democrat Socialist economy? I don't think so.

So yes, these “dogooder” Democrats will feign empathy with our citizens, but as the headline stated, the Democrats wouldn't just welcome your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, THEY WOULD CREATE THEM. They want us to emulate the “great” economies Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, but only a fool would buy their “snake oil”.
