Bill Hagerty Commentary: Democrats Call for Impeachment, While Trump Puts America First

Admin

by Bill Hagerty   Another week, another set of Democrats calling to impeach President Donald J. Trump. As usual, they are propelled by the liberal media’s latest antics. Now, 165 Democrats (and counting), including both of Tennessee’s Democratic congressmen have joined the call. That is a clear majority of House Democrats, led by Nancy Pelosi and “The Squad,” who are calling for impeachment. It’s a continuation of what we’ve seen every day since Tuesday, November 8, 2016, when the American people sent Donald Trump to the White House. Ever since that day, radical liberals have refused to accept that Hillary Clinton lost. They have focused on tearing him down, rather than working with him to make life better for Tennesseans. Unfortunately, their calls for impeachment are more than just political talking points. Their investigations are real, and therefore, so is their waste of taxpayer dollars. The House Judiciary Committee held its first impeachment hearing last week, and the American people were once again bombarded by the Left’s political antics. It’s a disgrace and an insult to the will of the people. They will continue their fight to impeach our President, but they won’t stop there. They want to impeach a…

Scott DesJarlais: ‘Radical Element’ Behind Impeachment Inquiry

Chris Butler

  Members of Tennessee’s Congressional delegation were quick to opine Tuesday on Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s impeachment inquiry of U.S. Republican President Donald Trump. Democrats endorsed the impeachment inquiry, while Republicans vowed to support the president. Scott DesJarlais, a Republican representing Tennessee’s Fourth Congressional District, sent out a press release Tuesday saying this is not what the American people want. “Before and after last year’s midterm elections, a few of us predicted Democrat leadership would fall prey to their most strident members and move to impeach President Trump.  Sadly, having accomplished nothing but fruitless investigations in this Congress, Speaker Pelosi has allowed this radical element to dictate another partisan investigation,” DesJarlais said. “An overwhelming majority of the American public rejects impeachment. However, some individuals, who still cannot accept that their candidate lost the 2016 presidential election, are pursuing a purely political agenda. Congress must reject it.” Meanwhile, Steve Cohen, a Democrat who represents Tennessee’s Ninth Congressional District, had a different mindset. “Today is a historic day for our nation. The President has breached his oath, violated the law and risked our national security. This week we learned that the President has abused his power and broken the law by pressuring a foreign government…

Senate Candidate Sethi Denounces Democrats’ Impeachment Move Against President Trump

Jason M. Reynolds

  U.S. Senatorial candidate Dr. Manish “Manny” Sethi on Tuesday expressed his support for President Donald Trump in defense of the Commander-in-Chief over the Democrats’ calls for impeachment. “I can’t believe what I just heard from Speaker Pelosi,” Sethi said in a statement. “The left continues to push for division instead of unity. These impeachment inquiries are nothing more than partisan theatrics. I support President Trump fully and urge Democrats to end this charade.” “I urge Republicans like Mitt Romney not to join the Democrats, but to stand firm in supporting our President.” Sethi in June announced his bid to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), The Tennessee Star reported. Democrats’ latest effort to impeach Trump stems from allegations he is pressuring Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden, The Star reported, citing VOA News. Trump has dismissed such talk. “We had a perfect phone call with the president of Ukraine. Everybody knows it. It’s just a Democrat witch hunt. Here we go again. They failed with Russia, they failed with recession, they failed with everything,” Trump said Monday. “It’s very important to talk about corruption. If you don’t talk about corruption, why would you give money to a country that…

Commentary: Biden’s Real Foreign Election Interference Was Russiagate

Admin

It looks as though Joe Biden is about to bumble and babble and bluster his way to a third failed run for president. Even before President Trump took aim at Hunter Biden for his shady financial ties to the Ukraine while his father was vice president, Biden was struggling with basic facts and weird stories about confronting a disobedient black teen with a chain in the 1960s.

Williamson County Parents Can Review Curriculum for Left-Wing Bias

Chris Butler

  FRANKLIN — Parents of students in the Williamson County School System who worry that school officials politicize their child’s social studies curriculum have a right to view the material if they wish. The Tennessee Star reviewed a portion of the school system’s social studies curriculum Tuesday, with the caveat that we had to do it at the school system’s main office in Franklin and with school staff monitoring us. We also could not take screenshots of the curriculum, which is online. But if it is online then why could we not simply review the material on our own from a location of our choosing? Could WCS officials cite a specific state statute or statutory authority to explain that? When asked, WCS spokeswoman Carol Birdsong did not cite any statute or statutory authority. But Birdsong did say the following in an emailed statement: “The information that you saw today is part of the social studies OER which contains the materials designed for teachers to access and utilize in their classrooms. Teachers may choose to use any or all of those resources. What you reviewed was not for students to directly access through a password. Also, remember that each resource you…
