House Democrat breaks with Pelosi, tells CNN she should STOP withholding impeachment articles from Senate — But later claims he MISSPOKE!

House Democrat Adam Smith is getting a lot of coverage from his comments on CNN this morning where he clearly called on Pelosi to stop withholding the impeachment articles from the Senate : Here what Smith had to say : “ I understand what the Speaker is trying to do…but at the end of the day , just like we control it in the House , Mitch McConnell controls it in the Senate .
I think it was perfectly advisable for the Speaker to leverage that to get a better deal – at this point it doesn ’ t look @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And yes , I think it is time to sent the impeachment to the Senate and let Mitch McConnell be responsible for the fairness of the trial .
He ultimately is.
” That was from earlier this morning .
But after what I can only imagine was immense pressure put on him by his Democratic colleagues over breaking with Pelosi , Smith turned tail and tweeted that he ‘ misspoke ’ and now fully supports Pelosi : I would have loved to been a fly on the wall in the House this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over Smith ’ s comments .
Given his complete 180 , he must ’ ve gotten the ‘ beatdown ’ of his life for opposing Pelosi and he ’ ll never do that again .

I misspoke this morning, I do believe we should do everything we can to force the Senate to have a fair trial. If the Speaker believes that holding on to the articles for a longer time will help force a fair trial in the Senate, then I wholeheartedly support that decision. — Rep. Adam Smith (@RepAdamSmith) January 9, 2020
I would have loved to been a fly on the wall in the House this morning to hear how angry Pelosi was over Smith’s comments. Given his complete 180, he must’ve gotten the ‘beatdown’ of his life for opposing Pelosi and he’ll never do that again.
MINOR UPDATE: “She never forgets”:


therightscoop--2020-01-09--Marco Rubio, VP Mike Pence defend Iran briefing after Mike Lee’s comments…

Mike Lee and Rand Paul have been getting some pushback from other Senators that were in yesterday ’ s briefing over their comments about it .
We showed you Lindsey Graham ’ s comments last night .
Below are a few tweets from Marco Rubio that discuss the briefing , from both yesterday and this morning .
These first two tweets appear to be aimed specifically at Democrats , but they build on a premise so I ’ m including them here .
In the first one directly after the briefing , Rubio writes that the briefing was not only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they aren ’ t now convinced that Soleimani ’ s death was justified “ is either never going to be convinced or just oppose everything Trump does ” : He followed that with one from this morning saying that any Senator who denies Soleimani was planning an attack is calling the Joint Chiefs a liar : Rubio ’ s latest tweet from this morning does address a “ GOP Senator ” upset about the briefing , suggesting that the GOP Senator upset with the briefing was upset because the administration wouldn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because the briefing didn ’ t include justification for the Soleimani killing : Clearly Rubio was satisfied that the briefing did explain the justification for Soleimani ’ s death and is making sure everyone knows it .
VP Mike Pence also was asked about Lee ’ s comments this morning and he defended the withholding of the most sensitive intelligence during the briefing because it would have compromised sources and methods ( it ’ s cued up to 5:52 )

Mike Lee and Rand Paul have been getting some pushback from other Senators that were in yesterday’s briefing over their comments about it. We showed you Lindsey Graham’s comments last night. Below are a few tweets from Marco Rubio that discuss the briefing, from both yesterday and this morning.
These first two tweets appear to be aimed specifically at Democrats, but they build on a premise so I’m including them here.
In the first one directly after the briefing, Rubio writes that the briefing was not only compelling, but that anyone who says they aren’t now convinced that Soleimani’s death was justified “is either never going to be convinced or just oppose everything Trump does”:
Natl Security officials gave a compelling briefing to Senators just now. They answered every important question. Anyone who walks out & says they aren’t convinced action against #Soleimani was justified is either never going to be convinced or just oppose everything Trump does. — Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) January 8, 2020
He followed that with one from this morning saying that any Senator who denies Soleimani was planning an attack is calling the Joint Chiefs a liar:
Any Senator who left the briefing on #Iran & claims #Soleimani wasn’t planning a near term attack on Americans is calling the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Milley a liar. Because Gen. Milley stated clearly & firmlythat Soleimani was about to kill Americans. — Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) January 9, 2020
Rubio’s latest tweet from this morning does address a “GOP Senator” upset about the briefing, suggesting that the GOP Senator upset with the briefing was upset because the administration wouldn’t do ‘hypothetical scenarios’, not because the briefing didn’t include justification for the Soleimani killing:
Some reporting about GOP Senator upset after Iran briefing leaves false impression it’s because information provided didn’t justify #Soleimani strike It was because administration didn’t offer hypothetical scenario requiring congressional authorization for military action — Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) January 9, 2020
Clearly Rubio was satisfied that the briefing did explain the justification for Soleimani’s death and is making sure everyone knows it.
VP Mike Pence also was asked about Lee’s comments this morning and he defended the withholding of the most sensitive intelligence during the briefing because it would have compromised sources and methods (it’s cued up to 5:52)

Pete Buttigieg BLASTED by Ted Cruz after blaming America for “innocent civilians” who died when Iran shot down Ukraine airplane

Pete Buttigeig is using the 176 lives lost from the Ukrainian airplane , shot down by Iran , in order to blame Trump for the ‘ tit for tat ’ that caused it to happen in the first place : Buttigieg writes “ Innocent civilians are now dead because they were caught in the middle of an unnecessary and unwanted military tit for tat .
My thoughts are with the families and loved ones of all 176 souls lost aboard this flight.

He ’ s blaming America and he ’ s blaming Trump for defending @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a rocket attack in Iraq two weeks ago , as I explained earlier today .
Iran was the ones who fired missiles at us on Tuesday after we retaliated to keep them from blowing up the the embassy and killing more Americans .
Iran was the one who thought a Boeing 737 was a freaking missile and shot it down .
None of this is our fault and any suggestion that it was should not be tolerated .
Buttigieg should be laughed off the stage and treated like a loon at their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Twitter to this by shooting down his false equivalence : He wasn ’ t the only one .
Others had a few things to say about this as well :

Ted Cruz responded on Twitter to this by shooting down his false equivalence:
Uh, Pete, they weren’t “caught in the middle.” They were shot down BY IRAN. Military incompetence by the leading state sponsor of terrorism.

therightscoop--2020-01-10--Republican Senator trying to BUILD support for calling impeachment witnesses…

This is not the news that I wanted to hear before an impeachment trial begins in the Senate : DC EXAMINER – A key Republican senator is working behind the scenes to build support for calling witnesses in President Trump ’ s upcoming impeachment trial .
Sen. Susan Collins , a centrist Republican up for reelection later this year , told the Washington Examiner she is working with “ some of my Republican colleagues , ” as well as party leaders , “ to reach an agreement on how to proceed with the trial that will allow the opportunity for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the president ’ s counsel if they choose to do so.
” The Bangor Daily News was the first to report the story .
Collins didn ’ t say how many GOP lawmakers are included in those talks .
Sen. Mitt Romney , a Utah Republican , has expressed interest in hearing from witnesses .
It ’ s likely there will be votes to summon witnesses once the Senate trial starts , Majority Leader Mitch McConnell , a Kentucky Republican , said last week .
Collins has told reporters she agrees with waiting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ witnesses .
Of course it would be Susan Collins .
And I ’ m sure Mitt Romney is in those meetings with her , and probably Lisa Murkowski too .
Ugh .
Haven ’ t we heard enough witnesses in the House trial ?
Democrats dug up everyone they could and there was still no evidence that Trump did anything wrong .
The House impeached solely because they hate him and don ’ t want him to get elected .
I ’ ve said before and I still contend that if there is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should be as short as possible .
In fact I ’ d rather they vote to dismiss it without a trial , but I doubt that would happen .

Puhlease. The Iranians are the threat to our national security and Trump so far has handled this very well. If he hadn’t, we might actually be headed for war with the Iranians. But instead, it looks like things have de-escalated without any other American deaths since Iran began this madness.

CNN’s John King touted Trump’s economy today, breaking the political argument that Trump could make with it and said it would be a good ‘calling card’ for any president running for reelection.
Watch:
King starts by listing the biggest stats of Trump’s economy, saying “any president, forget his name, forget his party, running for reelection…50-year low in unemployment; the economy keeps adding jobs…”
To further make his point King showed a chart of the unemployment rates in big battleground states back in December 2016 versus November 2019 and how much it had fallen in each of those states that Trump won:
King notes “If you’re a president, no matter your name, no matter your party, running for reelection and that was your map in 2016, everyone of those big battleground states that went for Trump has a lower unemployment today. That’s a pretty good calling card.”
You betcha!

“Deadbeat Cortez should pay her bills!” – House Democrats angry at AOC for refusing to pay party dues and bankrolling their opponents

Some Democrats in the House are very upset with AOC and speaking out against her because she ’ s not contributing to the DCCC and she ’ s actively funding campaigns against some of her colleagues : FOX NEWS – Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has already topped the fundraising charts in her short time in Congress , but the liberal darling won ’ t donate a cent of her millions to Democrats ’ House campaign organization — a position that has rankled some of her colleagues , Fox News has learned .

Already , she ’ s actively funding primary challengers to oust certain Democratic colleagues .
“ Sometimes the question comes : ‘ Do you want to be in a majority or do you want to be in the minority ?

Records obtained by Fox News show the New York Democrat has failed to pay any of her $ 250,000 in “ dues ” to the DCCC .
Her goose egg of a contribution is no accident .
Ocasio-Cortez says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she ’ ll withhold her money in protest of how the Democratic Party won ’ t back insurgent progressive primary candidates , like herself , in the name of protecting incumbents .
“ For me personally , I ’ m not paying D-trip dues , ” said Ocasio-Cortez , using slang for the DCCC and citing a “ myriad of reasons.

Some Democrats in the House are very upset with AOC and speaking out against her because she’s not contributing to the DCCC and she’s actively funding campaigns against some of her colleagues:
FOX NEWS – Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has already topped the fundraising charts in her short time in Congress, but the liberal darling won’t donate a cent of her millions to Democrats’ House campaign organization — a position that has rankled some of her colleagues, Fox News has learned. Instead, Ocasio-Cortez is building her own fundraising operation for fellow progressive candidates to bypass the official Democratic Party infrastructure. Already, she’s actively funding primary challengers to oust certain Democratic colleagues.
“Deadbeat Cortez!”

AOC doesn’t care…
Their gripe is that Ocasio-Cortez hasn’t given any money to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the party arm with the sole job of electing Democrats to the House.

Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., whom she endorsed for president in October, to funnel money directly to progressive candidates.
You might compare AOC to Jim DeMint, in that he was trying to get more conservatives in the Senate just as AOC is trying to get more vocal socialists into the House. DeMint rankled Senate GOP leadership just as AOC is doing in the House by not giving to the DCCC. And, at least as far as tactics go, she’s willing to fight her party to get rid of the moderates just like DeMint did in the Senate, which brought us Ted Cruz.
The huge difference, however, is that DeMint was trying to preserve the constitutional republic that the founders created that is responsible for the very liberty we enjoy. AOC is actively trying to destroy this republic, trying to turn is into a socialist nightmare that will likely go the way of Venezuela or worse if she succeeds.

With millions of dogs, including Frenchies, homeless in shelter cages waiting for homes, @AOC’s choice to publicize getting a purebred puppy is disappointing.
As a person who fights for justice, we doubt she could’ve realized the implications.

Texas Governor Abbott is closing off Texas for refugee resettlement, and he’s using a Trump executive order to justify it. From the Hill:
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) announced Friday that his state will not accept any new refugees in fiscal year 2020 after President Trump signed an executive order allowing governors to opt out of doing so.
Abbott noted in a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that Texas has accepted more refugees than any other state since fiscal year 2010 on top of grappling with “disproportionate migration issues resulting from a broken federal immigration system.”
“At this time, the state and nonprofit organizations have a responsibility to dedicate available resources to those who are already here, including refugees, migrants, and the homeless — indeed, all Texans,” Abbott wrote.
“As a result, Texas cannot consent to initial refugee resettlement for FY2020.”

therightscoop--2020-01-11--CNN’s Erin Burnett says Iranians chanting “death to America!” didn’t really mean it

During an interview on Iran , CNN ’ s Erin Burnett actually said that Iranians who chant “ Death to America ” don ’ t really mean it .
Her evidence ?
They were really nice to her .
From the Blaze : “ I will say I was in Tehran when they were chanting ‘ Death to America ’ once , ” she noted .
“ I was at a rally .
The people couldn ’ t have been more friendly to me personally as an American .
It sort of felt … like a ‘ thing ’ and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actually was seriously meant and considered .
I understand your point , but having been there , my experience was quite different.
” Then the expert guy chimed in and kinda embarrassed her : “ Erin , your entire life , Iran … has chanted ‘ Death to America.
’ And they have taken actions against Americans , American interests , in ways … that are lethal , killing Americans , giving weaponry to people who have intentions … to kill Americans , ” he responded .
“ So it ’ s not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ something Iran has systematically continued to do .
It ’ s part of their seeking weapons of mass destruction and their claim to want to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth .
These are real threats from the leadership of Iran even though — and I ’ m glad you had a safe and a warm response — the people on the street may be different than those who are controlling their military.
” I do think there ’ s a huge difference between the Iranian people , the majority of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the murderous regime .
BUT it ’ s crazy to think that people chanting “ Death to America ” don ’ t really mean it .
I ’ m sure she ’ d give that benefit of the doubt to Trump supporters if they chanted “ death to CNN ” right ?
Riiiiight .
That is just nuts .

During an interview on Iran, CNN’s Erin Burnett actually said that Iranians who chant “Death to America” don’t really mean it. Her evidence? They were really nice to her. From the Blaze:
“I will say I was in Tehran when they were chanting ‘Death to America’ once,” she noted. “I was at a rally. The people couldn’t have been more friendly to me personally as an American. It sort of felt … like a ‘thing’ and a trope as opposed to anything that actually was seriously meant and considered. I understand your point, but having been there, my experience was quite different.”
Then the expert guy chimed in and kinda embarrassed her:
“Erin, your entire life, Iran … has chanted ‘Death to America.’ And they have taken actions against Americans, American interests, in ways … that are lethal, killing Americans, giving weaponry to people who have intentions … to kill Americans,” he responded. “So it’s not just a slogan; this obviously is something Iran has systematically continued to do. It’s part of their seeking weapons of mass destruction and their claim to want to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth. These are real threats from the leadership of Iran even though — and I’m glad you had a safe and a warm response — the people on the street may be different than those who are controlling their military.”
I do think there’s a huge difference between the Iranian people, the majority of whom do not support the regime, and the murderous regime. BUT it’s crazy to think that people chanting “Death to America” don’t really mean it. I’m sure she’d give that benefit of the doubt to Trump supporters if they chanted “death to CNN” right? Riiiiight.

That is just nuts.


therightscoop--2020-01-12--Liberal Florida man gets 90 days in jail for spitting on 67-year-old man in MAGA hat

Florida man is at it again , and this time it ’ s for spitting on a dude in a MAGA hat .
And he called him a communist .
Which is weird .
From the Hill : A Florida man was sentenced to 90 days in jail after spitting on a man wearing a “ Make America Great Again ” hat at a restaurant in southern Florida .
According to Treasure Coast Newspapers , an Indian River County judge accepted a no-contest plea Thursday and determined 43-year-old Matthias Ajple was guilty of battery on 67-year-old Robert Youngblood .
Surveillance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Fla. , shows Ajple placing what appears to be a paper towel on the head of Youngblood , who was wearing a MAGA hat .
You can see what he does here : Now , that probably wouldn ’ t have gotten him in trouble , but he didn ’ t stop , it looks like he came back and spit on the guy : According to court documents obtained by Treasure Coast Newspapers , Ajple told Youngblood , “ You should go back to Russia you … communist , ” before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him .
Ajple drove away , but Youngblood wrote down his license plate and turned it in to authorities .
Really brave .
If you ’ re gon na do that , at least be willing to stand there and take the beating .
The moron told police he did it to protect them : “ I was just trying to protect you guys because I support law enforcement .
Trump supporters are communist and racist , ” Ajple told the deputy .
“ I don ’ t even care that I ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actually exciting.
” “ Plus , I have more time on this earth than he does anyway ; he probably feels so good about himself , ” Ajple said , according to the report .
Sad .
And pathetic .
He also had to pay the guy $ 155 in restitution and was given 72 hours of supervised probation .
That ’ s about it for Saturday , I ’ mma go watch the Titans possibly beat the Ravens ?

Florida man is at it again, and this time it’s for spitting on a dude in a MAGA hat. And he called him a communist. Which is weird. From the Hill:
A Florida man was sentenced to 90 days in jail after spitting on a man wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat at a restaurant in southern Florida. According to Treasure Coast Newspapers, an Indian River County judge accepted a no-contest plea Thursday and determined 43-year-old Matthias Ajple was guilty of battery on 67-year-old Robert Youngblood. Surveillance footage at a restaurant in Vero Beach, Fla., shows Ajple placing what appears to be a paper towel on the head of Youngblood, who was wearing a MAGA hat.
You can see what he does here:
Now, that probably wouldn’t have gotten him in trouble, but he didn’t stop, it looks like he came back and spit on the guy:
According to court documents obtained by Treasure Coast Newspapers, Ajple told Youngblood, “You should go back to Russia you … communist,” before slapping his hat off and spitting on him. Ajple drove away, but Youngblood wrote down his license plate and turned it in to authorities.
Really brave. If you’re gonna do that, at least be willing to stand there and take the beating.
The moron told police he did it to protect them:

therightscoop--2020-01-11--Iran is violently putting down protests by citizens against the regime!


therightscoop--2020-01-12--Literal NBC headline: “For transgender men, pain of menstruation is more than just physical.”

NBC has won the wacky insane transgender headline of the week with this doozy : Uh… what ?
!
?
Now I tried to wade through this thing so that I could give you the highlights , and boy is it bizarre .
Basically , they are talking about persons who were born as females , are “ transitioning ” to males , and they ’ re upset about having to deal with their national menstruation .
Because.. biologically , they ’ re females .
Also because our dimension makes zero sense .
IN addition , they whine about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ box of 36 tampons , which could easily be used within one menstruation period , could cost as much as $ 12 — that ’ s significantly more than the federal minimum wage of $ 7.25 per hour .
Additionally , menstrual hygiene products sold in the U.S. are still subject to sales tax in 32 states .
HUH ?
“ As much as $ 12 ” means you can get them for much cheaper .
And that ’ s still 33 cents per each tampon .
Is this really an enormous issue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they ’ re scared of opening tampons in the bathroom ?
Even if cost is a nonissue , using a men ’ s restroom can be daunting for those who have their period .
The sound of opening a tampon or pad , or simply carrying one , can lead to unwanted attention .
“ You might have this monthly terror where you ’ re concerned that if you go to the restroom , and someone sees a tampon , then they ’ re going to start asking questions , ” Heng-Lehtinen said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unholy horrific things in men ’ s bathrooms , trust me , the sound of opening a package is not one you should be worrying about .
So I think the agenda here is to redefine menstruation as something that both genders experience , in order to try to obliterate the distinction between genders in service to the transgender lobby .
Make sense ?

therightscoop--2020-01-12--NYT’s Maggie Haberman is getting crushed on twitter for comparing Trump to Iran

Iran is being really difficult on U.S. journalists because they really wanted it to be trouble for Trump .
AND @ @ @ @ @ very clear the killing of Soleimani has actually inspired protests against the regime , they @ @ @ @ @ .
Like Maggie Haberman for example : Yeah you can see what she ’ s @ @ @ @ @ Yes , Trump has been very critical of the media .
But can you really @ @ @ @ @ Iranian regime ?
!
Apparently Maggie can .
And she ’ s getting crushed on @ @ @ @ @ took exception to people bashing her and tried to play it off : Yeah , @ @ @ @ @ , Magpies .

Iran is being really difficult on U.S. journalists because they really wanted it to be trouble for Trump. AND now that it’s very clear the killing of Soleimani has actually inspired protests against the regime, they’re getting even nuttier. Like Maggie Haberman for example:
“Let reporters roam free” says the president, who routinely refers to the US press as “enemy of the people,” to Iranian leaders. https://t.co/zTtSdiOyDj — Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) January 12, 2020
Yeah you can see what she’s trying to do here. Yes, Trump has been very critical of the media. But can you really compare that to the murderous Iranian regime?! Apparently Maggie can.
And she’s getting crushed on twitter over it:
Obama jailed journalists, spied on them, and journalists were muted, at best, in reporting this.
Trump tweets criticisms, they compare him to the Ayatollah.
If you ever wonder why the public despises these people, remember this. https://t.co/duz39aj16u — Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) January 12, 2020
How many reporters has Trump imprisoned or killed, Maggie? (NOTE: Mean tweets don't count) https://t.co/FKCIliNfec — jimtreacher.substack.com (@jtLOL) January 12, 2020
Because you falsely report about what's going on in Iran to undermine the Iranian people and to appease Mullahs. NYT is the fake news.
Reporters in Iran would have been killed if they publish anything against the government. Those reporters in Iran are not spoiled brats. https://t.co/UzuAzXFXfU — Iranian American, 1776 (@IranLionness) January 12, 2020
Tell me when President Trump murdered reporters. Question. Does Iran pay you to push its propaganda or is it a hobby? Tell me when you have ever been prevented from reporting anything you want, even when it is incorrect? https://t.co/WZvvSYLSJE — Carmine Sabia (@CarmineSabia) January 12, 2020

More from Boston25:
In the school’s garden it didn’t take one of our crews long to find trash, condoms and other waste. It noticeably got worse as they walked through the school’s parking lot.
An environment where kids come to learn is supposed to be a safe place. That is why parents, staff and neighbors living near the McKinley School in Boston’s South End say they’re concerned about who else goes there at night to sleep. Neighbors say they’ve been noticing makeshift homeless camps forming at the first trace of nightfall in the school’s parking lot and garden behind the school. While the folks who sleep there are usually gone before kids arrive, the litter doesn’t always leave with them. “You don’t want fecal matter in a schoolyard,” said Jon Paul Prunier, a Boston resident. “They seem to be spreading out in our neighborhood a lot more, the school here, the park there, it’s startling.” Empty liquor bottles, needle caps and empty food containers are just some of what our crew saw as they walked around school property.
Yeah, seems like a problem. Also this is happening in the same area:
