Resurfaced clips of Schiff, Pelosi slamming GOP for contempt vote against Eric Holder aren’t aging well
On Wednesday, the Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee voted to hold Attorney General Bill Barr in contempt of Congress for not providing them with access to special counsel Robert Mueller’s entire report, including confidential grand jury information.
Before and after the vote, various Democrat leaders issued grandiose speeches or statements decrying the Justice Department’s alleged “corruption” and warning of a “constitutional crisis.”
What’s notable is that the contempt vote and speeches occurred roughly seven years after the same Democrat leaders excoriated then-House Oversight Committee chair Darrell Issa for daring to hold then-Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress. More on this later.
“We’ve talked for a long time about approaching a constitutional crisis. We are now in it,” House Judiciary Committee chair Jerry Nadler, who’s been battling with Barr for weeks for full access to the Mueller report, said in a hyperbolic speech Wednesday following the committee’s vote.
Yet here’s how he responded when Republicans held Holder in contempt back in 2012:

Paper: Professor Bias May Deflate Conservative College Students’ Grades
Conservative students saw the biggest grade dip when studying in the humanities and social sciences,and a grade boost when studying in hard-science fields. The bias was more pronounced at higher-ranked colleges.
Conservative students enter college with higher SAT scores and GPAs than liberal students, but by the fourth year of college have lower GPAs than liberal peers, which may be a consequence of institutional bias, finds a new working paper from the University of Arkansas.
Self-identified conservative students saw the biggest grade dip when studying in the humanities and social sciences, none when studying in professional fields, and an extra grade advantage when studying in hard-science fields. The bias was more pronounced at higher-ranked colleges and universities.
“Notwithstanding the GPA advantages held by conservative students in high school, students who support banning racist/sexist speech, and who endorse dissent as critical to the political process (positions typically associated with liberalism) enjoy a relative advantage over their peers,” the paper finds.
The authors controlled for students’ family income, SAT scores, and demographics, and repeatedly caution that the GPA effect is comparatively small, although statistically significant, and may have explanations other than professor bias. For example, since other social science has found conservatives tend to follow rules better and score lower on spontaneity and creativity, perhaps those characteristics make them a poorer fit for college or humanities programs.
Statistical analysis on a large database often used by researchers shows that “by the fourth year of college, liberal students tend to have higher grades than conservative peers: ideological self-placement is the only variable in the model changing direction from high school to college” (emphasis original), write paper authors Matthew Woessner of Penn State, Robert Maranto of U-Arkansas, and Amanda Thompson of the University of Georgia. The working paper from U-Arkansas’s Department of Education Reform has not yet been peer-reviewed nor published in an academic journal, but has been released to generate academic input pre-publication, it states.
The paper includes the graph below, showing that conservative students have the highest overall grades in high school, although lower writing and verbal SAT scores than liberal students. This also could reflect conservatives’ higher compliance levels, political biases in the verbal (less objective) portions of tests, neither, or both. Other research has found that high schools highly value compliance and that K-12 teachers award higher grades to more agreeable students and students more similar to them, which lowers...

Jim Acosta Makes A Fool Of Himself At Trump Florida Rally
New York Rep. Jerry Nadler ridiculously claimed that the United States was now in a Constitutional crisis after holding Attorney General Bill Barr in contempt of Congress.
He did not mentioning that he created the crisis, and many analysts on CNN said that he was incorrect and that there was no crisis.
That is, other than Acosta who, again, beclowned himself by pushing a narrative to attack President Donald Trump as he often does.
“President Trump has just added another obstacle to Democrats effort to see the full Mueller report by exerting executive privilege.
“Let’s go to Jim Acosta. The president and his team seem to be defying Democrats at every turn,” CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer said on “The Situation Room.”
“That’s right. As for the news on Donald Trump Jr., the White House at this point is not expected to comment on that news.
“We don’t expect that to happen. You never know what will happen at a Trump rally as the president will be on stage in a couple of hours from now.
“We’ll have to wait and see if he wants to comment on the latest developments regarding his eldest son. The president does appear to be heading toward a constitutional crisis with House Democrats.
“The White House is defending the White House use of executive privilege as the president appears to be turning the art of the deal into the art of the conceal.
“Playing a game of hide and seek, President Trump is pulling out all the stops to keep the full Mueller report out of the hands of Democrats,” he said from the President Trump rally in Panama City, Florida Wednesday.
What is frightening is that Jim probably thought that he had hit a hum dinger of a line with the “art of the conceal” but the Internet did not see it that way:

Joe Biden says the U.S. is obligated to provide healthcare to illegal aliens
Biden, who has a significant lead in the Democratic primary polls, was campaigning in Los Angeles when he got on the topic of healthcare and immigration.
"I think that anyone who is in a situation where they're in need of healthcare, regardless of whether they are documented or undocumented, we have an obligation to see that they are cared for," Biden said. "That's why I think we need more clinics around the country."

Biden went on to disregard the idea that illegal immigration is a problem primarily about illegal border crossings, pointing to the number of illegal immigrants that are visa overstays.
"A significant portion of undocumented folks in this country are there because they've overstayed their visas," Biden said. "It's not people breaking down the gates coming across the border. And so, the biggest thing we've gotta do in this is tone down the rhetoric. We know why it's happening. It's to create fear and concern.
'Why is your job in danger? Because of that—' And then he describes them in very graphic, unflattering terms—that other, that immigrant. It's ridiculous," Biden continued, presumably referring to President Donald Trump.
While the other Democratic presidential candidates are racing each other left with single-payer healthcare proposals, Biden has not detailed what he plans to do on the...
BREAKING, Establishment Republicans Betray President, Subpoena Donald Trump Jr
 |
| SCUMBAG BEN SASSE IS ON THE COMMITTEE |
 |
| SCUMBAG CHAIRMAN RICHARD BURR |
The Senate Intelligence Committee, led by Republicans, has subpoenaed Donald Trump Jr. to answer more questions about the Russia investigation, Axios reported.
It’s the first congressional subpoena — that we know about — of one of President Trump’s children. The subpoena sets up a fight that’s unprecedented in the Trump era: A Republican committee chair pit against the Republican president’s eldest son.
It’s also a sign that the Russia investigations in Congress aren’t over despite the conclusion of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe and despite Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell saying it’s time to move on from the Russia probe.
A Senate Intelligence Committee spokesperson told Axios: “We do not discuss the details of witness engagements with the Committee. Throughout the investigation, the Committee has reserved the right to recall witnesses for additional testimony as needed, as every witness and witness counsel has been made aware.”
“Don and Senate Intel agreed from the very beginning that he would appear once to testify before the committee and would remain for as long as it took to answer all of their questions. He did that. We’re not sure why we’re fighting with Republicans,” a source close to Trump Jr. told Axios.
Between the lines: Mueller, whose investigation did not find a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, did not indict Trump Jr., despite speculation that he would.
Unlike many congressional investigations in the Trump era, the Senate Intelligence probe — led by Republican chairman Richard Burr and Democratic vice chair Mark Warner — has been largely bipartisan.
The fact that they’re subpoenaing Trump Jr. is a strong signal that he declined a request to appear before the committee again.
The backstory: Trump Jr. testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in September 2017 that he was only “peripherally aware” of proposed plans for the Moscow project. His testimony was released. He testified for a total of more than 25 hours with three different committees, per a source familiar with the situation.
