[This is the White House transcript, followed by the video, of President Trump’s remarks in a joint press conference with Prime Minister Netanyahu in the East Room on Tuesday, January 28.  The Jerusalem Post hails it as “President Trump’s Game-Changing Speech of the Century.” When you watch and read it, you will understand why.] 

PRESIDENT TRUMP:  Thank you.  (Applause.)  Thank you very much.  Thank you.

Today, Israel takes a big step towards peace.  (Applause.)  Young people across the Middle East are ready for a more hopeful future, and governments throughout the region are realizing that terrorism and Islamic extremism are everyone’s common enemy.

Forging peace between Israelis and Palestinians may be the most difficult challenge of all.  All prior administrations, from President Lyndon Johnson, have tried and bitterly failed.  But I was not elected to do small things or shy away from big problems.  (Applause.)

It’s been a long and very arduous process to arrive at this moment.  On Sunday (1/26), I delivered to Prime Minister Netanyahu my vision for peace, prosperity, and a brighter future for the Israelis and Palestinians.  This vision for peace is fundamentally different from past proposals.

Andrea Widburg points out the clip would make a dream ad for the Trump campaign, and, sure enough the GOP just released it.  That’s it above.

Don Lemon is actually the stupidest man on television as Mark Levin often remarks, so no one expects anything other than rank infantile behavior from him.  He is a child in an adult body and fortunately has no children.

We have seen this show before, it’s all designed to pressure a small number of weak Republican Senators to allow Democrats to turn the Senate into a circus in which the process becomes the punishment.

It has been clear for weeks that the Democrats were seeking to ‘Kavanaugh’ the Senate impeachment trial — to roll out with media help a well-timed series of supposed “bombshell: accusations whose main purpose was to create a media hysteria to pressure Republican Senators to extend the process.

Once it because clear that Kavanaugh would be confirmed and the hearings were closed, a series of accusers absurd claims — Christine Blasey Ford, Julie Swetnick, Deborah Ramirez, plus anonymous accusers — were rolled out to reopen the hearings and prolong the process.

The same precise strategy is being employed just as the GOP is poised to acquit the President.

There’s a reason Mitch McConnell has been Senate Majority Leader for the past 13 years: He gets the job done.

And the biggest part of that job is keeping the GOP caucus, however necessary. At this point, he appears to have pulled off the feat once again.

Yesterday (1/29), McConnell and Sen. Lisa Murkowski — always a wavering and unreliable GOP vote — met in the morning. After that meeting, The Hill reported, it was clear “that the question of having additional witnesses is settled, and the Senate will vote Friday to wrap up the impeachment trial of President Trump.”

No wonder Mitch has that grin you see above.  Here’s what’s going on.

On Monday (1/27), the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration's public charge rule to go into effect, striking down a nationwide injunction from a New York judge.

The rule allows the government to deny green cards to immigrants who receive public assistance and are therefore considered a "public charge."

In addition to the 5-4 decision allowing the rule to go into effect, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch issued a concurring opinion rebuking activist judges and their rush to apply "nationwide injunctions" against Trump administration policies:

It’s an honor to address the distinguished members of this organization for the second time as President.  When I spoke at this forum two years ago, I told you that we had launched the great American comeback.  Today, I’m proud to declare that the United States is in the midst of an economic boom the likes of which the world has never seen before.

We’ve regained our stride, we discovered our spirit and reawakened the powerful machinery of American enterprise.  America is thriving, America is flourishing, and yes, America is winning again like never before.

Political figures have long used their families to route power and benefits for their own self-enrichment.

In my new book, “Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite,” one particular politician — Joe Biden — emerges as the king of the sweetheart deal, with no less than five family members benefiting from his largesse, favorable access and powerful position for commercial gain.

In Biden’s case, these deals include foreign partners and, in some cases, even US taxpayer dollars.

The Biden family’s apparent self-enrichment involves five family members: Joe’s son Hunter, son-in-law Howard, brothers James and Frank, and sister Valerie.

When this subject came up in 2019, Biden declared, “I never talked with my son or my brother or anyone else — even distant family — about their business interests. Period.”

As we will see, this is far from the case …

It is doubtful that very many people watched hours and hours of the impeachment proceedings in the Senate Tuesday. A little bit went a long way. But this much was abundantly clear:

Adam Schiff is maniacally obsessed with removing President Trump from office.  We have known for years that he is a pathological liar; he lies even when he surely knows his lies will be exposed in due time.

[A pathological liar is someone who lies compulsively, who lies as a way of life, whose estrangement from reality makes them prefer lies to truth.  As such, they suffer from genuine mental illness.]

Schiff appears to have some serious mental problems. Watching him, even in small doses, throughout the first day of the "trial" yesterday and into early this morning (1/21-22)  -- in yet another of the Democrats' sure-to-fail attempts to see President Trump removed from office -- one cannot help but realize we are watching a disturbed man melt down before our eyes.

Pelosi’s doomed impeachment gambit can’t even be classified as historic. Sorry, Fancy Nancy, but the third time something happens isn’t historic. Quick: Who was the third man on the moon? The third of anything isn’t history. It’s just trivia.

After Pelosi’s little impeachment show flops harder in the Senate than “Cats” did in the multiplex, Trump will return to nonstop trolling of her on the campaign trail. The pertinent sports term is “posterized.”

In every poster-worthy photograph of a particularly exceptional touchdown catch or mythic slam dunk, in the near background there’s always some woebegone defender standing there, deflated and despairing and questioning his life choices. That’s poor Pelosi: posterized.

Troy Carter, 49 from Middleton Va, says that, other than voting, he’d never been involved in politics. That changed late last year, when he heard that a county board of supervisors in Virginia voted to become a gun sanctuary.

On Monday (1/20), he was one of an estimated 22,000 people who gathered peacefully at the Capitol Square in Richmond, Va., to support gun rights. Many of those attending were visibly armed.

Ninety-one of Virginia’s 96 counties have passed sanctuary measures to resist proposed Democrat state gun regulations.

For Virginians like Mr. Carter, the effort has brought about a political awakening. He learned to shoot when he was six years old. Guns are a normal part of his life, like fishing or going to church every Sunday, and something he considers vital to protecting and providing for his family.
