'Impeach - The Case against Donald Trump'
Author Neal Ketyal has a new book out, and he makes some truly excellent points in the following interview
Book Review;
In response to:
Former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal argues that there are three "high crimes" that he says the president is "clearly" guilty of. He explains to Steve Kornacki why, because of those alleged high crimes, he feels the House must impeach Trump and the Senate should remove him from office.

Book Review;
In response to:
Neal Katyal makes an unimpeachable case, concise but comprehensive, for impeachment. The author of Impeach knows the law and how to practice it. An attorney who has argued 39 cases before the Supreme Court, Neal Katyal was Acting Solicitor General for the United States in the Obama administration. He is also a law professor at George Washington University.
He goes to the heart of the matter by quoting today’s vice president, Michael Pence, when he served in the House of Representatives in 2008: “This business of high crimes and misdemeanors goes to the question of whether or not the person serving as President of the United States put their own interests, their personal interests, ahead of public service.”
This statement Katyal calls the “Pence Standard” and refers to it throughout the book. The author says he is not a partisan but an “extreme centrist”—determined to apply the same legal yardstick to every case regardless of its party connection. Though this book attacks a Republican president, Katyal earlier clerked for today’s Chief Justice, John Roberts, and supported Trump’s appointments of justices Neal Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
Katyal addresses some basic questions: Why our founders (and Pence) would have impeached Trump. What high crimes and misdemeanors are and are not. Why we need to impeach Trump and why this is different from Mueller. Why we can’t wait until the next election. To understand what are impeachable offenses, Katyal reviews the impeachment cases of presidents Tyler, Johnson, Nixon, and Clinton.
Digging into the charges against Trump, Katyal examines the evidence that Trump accepted and sought information from a foreign government to help him against a political rival; that he withheld security assistance to Ukraine and then asked for a favor to release it. He reviews the July 25 phone conversation with President Zelensky, and observes that Trump never once discussed U.S. national interests or Ukraine’s war with Russia.
The anonymous whistleblower complaint against Trump, as Katyal reports, was not sent to Congress for weeks after it was submitted to the intelligence community inspector general on August 22. This aspect of the story takes Katyal back to 1777 when two naval officers reported that their commander had tortured British prisoners. When the two whistleblowers were fired, the Continental Congress compensated them and passed a whistleblower protection act.
Katyal himself defended a whistleblower who, after 9/11, complained that the government was reducing the number of TSA marshals on flights. The Supreme Court in an opinion by Chief Justice Roberts gave the whistleblower his life back. President Trump, however, has demanded unmasking today’s whistleblower, calling him almost a “spy.”
This book is nothing if not up to date. Published in November 2019, it refers to many events and documents released as recently as September. To be sure, much of the material has already been in the public domain, but Katyal with his legal mind analyzes it in a novel way. For example: If the president really wanted Ukrainians to investigate a case, he would not demand that they announce their decision to do so, because this would tip off the suspects. Nor would the State Department budget to promote anticorruption in Ukraine have been cut from $30 to $13 million......

Physical medicine...
...used to refer to real doctors specializing in manipulation, and other methods, to help some with pain and movement issues. Sort of like glorified physical therapists. Even have their own name---Physiatrists. Not to be confused with the real nail painters/hair colorers of medicine---Psychiatrists. But I digress. More and more, the benefits of lowering body temperature, temporarily, are being used. Actually known to some ancients, and more modern pediatricians have long seen that youth "drowning" in cold, usually fresh, water, can fully recover, even after long time periods, before definitive treatment. And certain afflictions, notably some strokes, and even killer rabies, normally often fatal, respond much better with the victim on ice. And now some trauma victims, clinically dead, if treated quickly, may be saved by infusing chilled resuscitation fluids directly into the heart. Which is then hand/machine cranked, better protecting brain and heart perfusion, (sadly not that organ all men love as life itself), again allowing definitive surgical treatments. And speaking of surgeries, longer procedures are now done at cooler body temperatures. But there's much more. Cooler heads, and bodies, may actually enable longer space flights, protecting against radiation, weightlessness, and even inflammatory and auto immune threats of space. And high pressure/concentration oxygen in hospital barimetric chambers can aid the treatment of many disorders. Physical medicine. Wow. Sadly, none of these medical miracles hold any apparent hope for severe Trump Derangement-Hilary Deficit Syndromes, in many liberals. But the research continues.

Usman Kahn...and the backlash...
The name sort of has a certain ring to it. No, unlikely that it's Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist or Christian. Baha'i, Animist, or Sufi, as well. No, folks, likely a member of the religion of compassion and peace. This 28 year old knife murderer of young Brits on London bridge, was early paroled for plotting to bomb infidels, a mere 6 years ago. These attacks are getting as frequent as school shootings here in the good old USA. We'll all hear the PC liberals self loathers complain that we are singling out these murderers for racism (their favorite virtue signaling word), and religious xenophobia, (next most favorite, followed by homophobia). So ask yourselves, if somehow there just might be a pattern here, --ya think? Love it when religious activists complain of unfair prejudice against their kind. Another favorite trope is the concept of islamophobia. I think most of us decent people somehow are still willing to give so called peaceful believers the benefit of the doubt, especially if we all know decent such folks. But for how much longer, before real identity hate really starts? We are all sorry that the once world leader of culture, a millennial ago, is now almost everywhere in backwater states. Blame infidels as you will, rather than trying to self improve. But you are hurting yourselves. Many are beginning to slowly say, "when in doubt, we call 'em as we see 'em". How about you? It's really on themselves, via education, and family values, etc., to decrease the numbers of their own murderous hotheads, if possible, to zero. And perhaps while they are at it, stop treating their ladies as mindless little possssions to be covered up and controlled. Not the job of the infidels.
Minnesota Democrats Vote Unanimously To Ban Pledge of Allegiance Until President Trump Steps In
This is exactly what these insane America hating radical Democrat freaks will be up to if we don't stop them cold at the voting booth.
And I have a message for this Omar freak. I come from the culture that ENDED slavery. She comes from a culture that still practices it. So don't bother trying to lecture my country about cultural morality.

Climate change deniers....
Deep state deniers. Sadly, those in the latter group can attribute their challenges with perception overwhelmingly to the worst forms of TD-HD Syndromes. Often an interesting clue to diagnosis, the umbilical connections between the faltering Democrat Deep State and other entities, such as the fake news media, VERY fake, notably MSNBC, CNN, and many large metropolitan fish wraps, ---connections crystal clear to Patriots, go completely undetected. Regrettably, some of the afflicted, even after the highly evidenced based VIERK Institutes cash only up front remedies, seem only to experience partial recoveries, and this striking feature of the diathesis remains. We are all working feverishly, however, for the complete cure. It should be even more costly, in time and money. But we are considering taking newer Mercedes on partial trade, from the many suffering limousine liberals.
Traffic stop
I think, I'm going to lose my drivers license...
and all just because of a stupid police officer...
The conversation went like this, when I got pulled over in my car:
Officer: "License and registration, please, I think you are drunk!"
Me: "I assure you, I did not drink anything."
Officer: "Ok, let's do a little test! Imagine driving in the dark on a highway at night, when you see two lights in the distance. What is this?"
Me: "A car."
Officer:"Of course! But which one? A Mercedes, an Audi or a Ford?"
Me:"I have no idea!"
Officer:"So, you're drunk."
Me:"But I didn't drink anything."
Officer:"Okay, one more test -- Imagine, you drive in the dark on a highway at night, and there is one light coming at you.What is it?
Me:"A motorcycle."
Officer:"Of course! But which one? A Honda, a Kawasaki or a Harley?"
Me:"I have no idea!"
Officer:"As I suspected, you're drunk!"
Then I started to get annoyed and asked a counter question.
Me:"So..., counter question -- You're driving in the dark on a highway at night and see a woman on the roadside. She wears a mini skirt, fishnet stockings, high heeled shoes and only a bra as a top. What is this?"
Officer:"A prostitute of course."
Me:"Yes, but which one? Your daughter, your wife or your mother?"
Things went downhill from there and now I have a court date to attend...

Boxed in thoughts
Shall now be defined as the extreme irony of hypocritically instructing others to think outside the box,
while simultaneously posting essentially a very similar blog as one did long before,
therefore demonstrating an inability to think outside a box and a preference for same ol' same 'ol'.

I want to travel soon!
At work earlier today, there was an ad on the radio about travelling, and the sound of bagpipes came on, which made me think about just how much I miss Scotland. Then, I though to myself "I should really go to Glasgow again at some point next year". On my way home, I did some searching, to find out when it was cheapest to travel to Scotland, and I found out, that May was the cheapest. I can get a return ticket for the less than a new games console.
While I would love to travel alone, I did think that I would bring someone, so I asked K if she wanted to visit Glasgow with me. "Sure, but I don't know when I can afford it", was her answer. Now, being that the flights to Scotland are cheap, I thought "Why not give her a trip to Scotland as an early birthday present".. So now I am looking at deals for when I am getting paid in about 8 days time. I also need to time it with regards to my New York trip. The plan is, that I will arrive home from New York on the 8th of May, and, if all goes well, K and I will depart for Scotland on the 17th of May. I have 11 days back in Denmark before I head out of the country again. May is gonna be busy AF, but I love it.
I will not book tickets for Glasgow, but Edinburgh. There is a bus there, that travels all the way to Glasgow from Edinburgh Airport. The last time I took it, it was £18.50 for an open return ticket. The price might have gone up since then, but it sure beats taking the train, which will easily cost me a few hundred pounds.
It's gonna be amazing getting back to Scotland. I miss the food there, the people and the scenery! It's gonna be awesome!
