Since the Nov. 3 election, I have received many calls and emails from influential Republicans and prominent conservatives.

This week’s impeachment of President Trump was done under the pretext that he urged people attending the Save America rally to riot at the Capitol Building. There’s no evidence that the president’s words urged riot or unrest, as I pointed out at PJ Media. In fact, there are things he said that mitigated against the
I’m staring at the headline of this post and I’m thinking: We have to be in a simulation, right? Even Trump-era reality isn’t this bizarre. Anyway, it says “sort of” in the hed because the evidence is a photo of a partially obscured page of notes. But if you enlarge the first photo below, you’ll

Even as they shut their doors—quite possibly forever, in many cases—Melbourne’s battered hospitality businesses were still complying.
