Victory for Trump as Murkowski opposes impeachment witnesses (Washington Examiner)
Sen. Lisa Murkowski is joining most of her Senate Republican colleagues in opposing witnesses in President Trump’s impeachment trial, providing a win to the White House as proceedings wind down after nearly two weeks.
The Alaska Republican had been one of the final holdouts. Only Republican Sens. Mitt Romney and Susan Collins favor calling witnesses, which Democratic House managers want. [Read More]
FULLY AUTOMATIC MEDIA (Ann Coulter)
The tedium of the impeachment trial has at least allowed me to catch up on my reading. Apparently, there was a peaceful gun rights rally in Virginia last week that had the media in a panic.
Today, I will explain how their hysteria about the gun rally is directly related to their hysteria about the Russians throwing the 2016 election with Facebook ads — or, as MSNBC’s Brian Williams put it, using Facebook, Instagram and Twitter “to turn Americans against one another, psychological and information warfare, that didn’t stop with the election.” [Read More]
Lawmakers override several bills Hogan vetoed last year (Capital News Service)

Brexit is done, but the EU is readying another battle for Britain (Washington Examiner)
A few hours from now, at 6 p.m. EST, Britain will no longer be a member of the European Union. It’s a big victory for Prime Minister Boris Johnson, but one he won’t be able to savor for long. A major battle for the economic future of Britain and the EU is now set to begin.
It’s a battle in which the EU holds a distinctly political objective. The key here is that President Emmanuel Macron of France and the EU executive leadership are determined to show that it is better to be inside the EU club than outside of it. Macron’s fear is that Britain will now ease the burden of its regulatory and tax regimes, thus incentivizing foreign investment and expanded trade. And that this success will harm less efficient EU economies. [Read More]
