Last week, as the House began open hearings into President Donald Trump’s dealings in Ukraine, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, was flanked by several large posters, one of which read: “I’m concerned if we don’t impeach the president, he will get reelected.”

Democrats have been challenging the legitimacy of the election by any means available to them since their loss in 2016. In doing so, they are depriving the American people of the president that they chose in a fair and open election. Wednesday’s hearing by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence was nothing more than a partisan charade that undermined the credibility of Congress.

Whenever anyone, especially a politician, starts a sentence with, “Let’s be clear,” you know they’re on the defensive.

As the Democratic presidential front-runners jockey for position as Giver-of-Free-Stuff in Chief, their promises on health care mostly sound like, as former Vice President Joe Biden would put it, “a bunch of malarkey.”
