West Wing Reads Pelosi’s Impeachment Surrender Proves Dems Still Can’t Get Beyond 2016

Pelosi’s Impeachment Surrender Proves Dems Still Can’t Get Beyond 2016 “For months, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned itchy Democrats against the perils of impeachment. She should have stuck to her guns . . . Her surrender proved again that her party can’t quit 2016,” Michael Goodwin writes in the New York Post. “Dems apparently assume the country hates Trump as much as they do . . . They also are demonstrating they didn’t learn the lessons of the Robert Mueller probe.” Click here to read more. At the United Nations, President Trump showed that he “is never afraid to stand up for popular self-government and the greatest guarantor self-government has ever had: the nation-state,” the Washington Examiner editorial board writes. “Trump did very well in his Tuesday speech to the U.N. General Assembly to reassert, once again, that the nation-state is a good thing; speaking as he was in an institution with misguided supranational ambitions. This was something U.N. bureaucrats and diplomats needed to hear from the leader of the free world.” “The leaders of the United States, Mexico and Canada have already signed the most important trade deal in a generation. Mexico and Canada, not China, are currently our two largest trading partners. For the sake of America’s economy and workers, this deal needs to get done,” former CKE Restaurants CEO Andy Puzder writes in Fox News. “The only obstacle is political obstruction by congressional Democrats more intent on depriving President Trump of a win than bestowing one on the American people. This is politics at its worst, and that’s saying something.” Yesterday, the Trump Administration made it easier for hardworking Americans to qualify for overtime pay, Acting Labor Secretary Patrick Pizzella writes in The Wall Street Journal. “The Labor Department is publishing a final rule to raise the salary threshold under which all employees, regardless of occupation, are eligible for overtime pay.” This is the first successful update to overtime regulations since 2004, and the main beneficiaries “will be people who did not go to college, rural Americans and older workers.”
