Reckoning Coming for Dems

Political, Hey!, , , ,

As we’ve seen in the last few months, the Mickey Mouse articles of impeachment put forward by the House Democrats don’t come close to the constitutional standard of high crimes and misdemeanors. So why are they going forward with the fiasco that would be a Senate trial?

Iowa Senator Steve King says the answer is obvious. “They’re impeaching Donald Trump, not because they don’t like him, but it’s a shield for them to defend themselves from the reckoning that will come when the Justice Department gets put back on the rails for law again,” he says.

King, of course, is referring to the high crimes and misdemeanors committed by the Democrats themselves, which are more pervasive than this country has ever seen. King explains further to political journalist Nicholas Ballasy.

Young Black Conservatives

In October of 2018, hundreds of young conservatives of color met up in Washington, DC, for the first ever Young Black Leadership Summit: a four-day conference that featured speeches from conservative actress Stacey Dash and firebrand Candace Owens, a trip to the White House to hear Trump speak, and a rare chance for young, black Republicans to get together and network IRL.

VICE’s Lee Adams went to the summit to talk firsthand with young, black conservatives about what drew them to the Republican party, along with what kind of backlash they’ve faced from the black community for going public with their political views. To find out more about the movement, he also tagged along with Antonia Okafor—an outspoken Second Amendment activist—on a hunting trip in northwestern Iowa with Steve King, a House Representative who’s been widely criticized for his racist comments. Lastly, he met up with Shekinah Geist, a black Republican and budding social media influencer, and sat in on a conversation between her and a group of peers from the local black student union who challenged her on her support for President Trump.

Sidestepping the Constitution

Political, Hey!, , , ,

U.S. Rep. Steve King, an Iowa Repubican, explores the impeachment of President Obama with Constitutional experts during a House judiciary hearing, citing the Commander in Chief’s numerous abuses of the Constitution’s enumerated powers. When one of the experts is asked what do the people do about these blatant abuses when there is no judicial or electoral remedy, he ask King, “To what particular sort of abuses?” King responds, “Anyone of the list of enumerated powers , for example, ending with the declaration of war, because that’s the starkest of all.”
