Writing opinions and pushing agendas by opposing politicians and the news media is nothing new. It's also known as propaganda or the work product of fifth columnists trying to influence the citizenry of a country.

This Republic has seen this before during the 1920s and 1930s. During that period, we had Socialists, Communists, Nazis and anarchists trying to tear down this nation. The fact is, if you make enough noise and throw enough mud at a wall some of it is bound to stick. However, it did not work then, and it is not going to work now.

Impeachment is political in nature, not a criminal allegation guided by the rule of law. Ask President Bill Clinton. Even the Democrats as well as the Republicans understood that. It also might be wise not to go down the same path as Hillary Clinton. Polling for opinion is not an exact science as Mrs. Clinton learned.

Speaking of criminal action; someone should tell former Vice President Biden it’s not really a good idea to televise your interference in the Ukraine and earn a television spot in the national news.
