Statement by 21 State AGs
State AGs urge Senate to reject impeachment in stinging letter:
'A dangerous historical precedent'
The attorneys general of 21 states have come forward with a blistering rebuke of the impeachment of President Trump, asserting that it "establishes a dangerous historical precedent."
The Republican attorneys general, in a letter submitted to the Senate Wednesday morning and obtained by Fox News, urged the chamber conducting Trump's trial to "reject" the impeachment articles.
The letter accuses House Democrats of impeaching Trump as a politically motivated response to the 2016 election and warned that it poses a threat to the 2020 election as well.
"Even an unsuccessful effort to impeach the President undermines the integrity of the 2020 presidential election because it weaponizes a process that should only be initiated in exceedingly rare circumstances and should never be used for partisan purposes," the letter continued.
. . . The GOP letter was signed by the attorneys general of Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia. (Source: Fox News)

State AG letter to Senate on impeachment
Conclusion
Because the legal theories underlying both Articles I and II are both legally flawed and factually insufficient, are inherently destructive of separation of powers, and are contrary to the Framer's vision of the impeachment power, the Senate should explicitly reject them. Even more importantly, it should reject them to protect the institution of the Presidency and the Constitution from such a dangerous precedent for future generations. The Senate should not adopt the specious and legally vacuous theories of "corrupt motives" and "unilateral control." Both theories present the same destructive seed of thought: that a President may be removed from office for exercising his lawful constitutional privilege and authority.
This partisan political effort undermines the democratic process, both now and in the future. The House unilaterally re-writes the constitution, without the people's consent to amend it. It weaponizes a process that should only be initiated in exceedingly rare circumstances and never for partisan purposes. This purely partisan attack on President Trump will damage democracy in America in the worst possible way: it will forever weaken the separation of powers-the very edifice upon which our democracy stands. .
If the Senate does not reject the politically-motivated, manufactured theories upon which the impeachment articles are based, the House will be emboldened to base future impeachment efforts upon the same vague, boundless, and destructive theories. Indeed, because congressional precedents establishing the contours of impeachable conduct are wholly insulated from judicial review, it is imperative that the Senate's basis for rejecting the articles against President Trump be clear for future generations. We, therefore, urge the Senate to reject the Articles of Impeachment.

Focus on Israel
1. Rivlin, world leaders vow to stand united against racism, antisemitism - Jerusalem Post
President Reuven Rivlin invited world leaders gathered in Jerusalem on Wednesday to send a message that they stand united against racism, antisemitism and extremism.
Speaking at a gala banquet organized in the President's Residence for the dozens of heads of states who are here to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Rivlin said historical research should be free of politics.
"Historical research should be left to historians," he said. "The role of political leaders is to shape the future. I hope and pray that from this room, the message will go out to every country on earth, that the leaders of the world will stand united in the fight against racism, antisemitism and extremism."
Rivlin called the gathering historic not only for Israel and the Jewish people but for all humanity. It embodies the commitment of all those who attend to pass on the awareness of what happened during the Holocaust to the next generations, he said.

3. In apparent gesture, Netanyahu to meet Pence at Jerusalem embassy - Israel Hayom
In a rare move, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with US Vice President Mike Pence this week at the newly inaugurated US Embassy in Jerusalem rather than at the regular venues where he normally hosts foreign leaders.
Pence is expected to arrive in Israel on Thursday, to take part in the Fifth World Holocaust Forum alongside dozens of world leader. The embassy meeting, which will take place that same day, could be Netanyahu's way of showing his appreciation to the Trump administration's daring move of relocating the embassy from Tel Aviv despite international opposition.
Netanyahu usually meets with visiting dignitaries at the Prime Minister's Office or at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem.
Pence, who is considered one of the most pro-Israel figures in the administration, was a strong advocate of the move to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

4. "President Putin, like President Trump, is a real Friend of Zion'' - Israel National News
Mike Evans, on behalf of the Friends of Zion Heritage Center, announced on Wednesday, January 22nd that he will be bestowing the "Friends of Zion Award" to Russian President Vladimir Putin and on behalf of the Russian people, who saved a multitude of Jews during World War II.
President Putin is in Jerusalem for the Fifth World Holocaust Forum, an event titled "Remembering the Holocaust: Fighting Antisemitism," with over forty world leaders. The forum falls on the 75th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.
The "Friends of Zion Award" was commissioned by Israel's ninth President Shimon Peres, who served as the first International Chairman of the Friends of Zion, honors world leaders for their support of the Jewish people and the State of Israel.
Nine world leaders have received the "Friends of Zion Award," including two American presidents: President Trump and President George W. Bush.

5. Netanyahu Gives Putin Disputed Old City Church in Exchange for Jailed Israeli Woman - Jewish Press
Following a report on Channel 13 on Monday night that as part of the efforts to release Naama Issachar Russia is demanding possession of Alexander's Court in the Old City, Ma'ariv on Wednesday morning published a document confirming that Israel had already responded to the Russian demand, and did it three weeks ago.
MK Omer Bar-Lev (Labor) tweeted in response: "In 2003, Sharon informed Putin that he would hand over Alexander's Court if Russia stopped selling weapons in the Middle East. Tomorrow, Netanyahu will hand it over in exchange for a girl who shouldn't have been in custody for one second." And he concluded: "We used to have strong leaders."
The land on which Alexander's Court was built, Which includes the Alexander Nevsky Church and several other buildings, was purchased in 1859 by Czar Alexander III, Emperor of Russia, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Finland.

1. McConnell's impeachment trial rules pass in Senate 53-47-Fox News
In all, the Senate handed President Trump a series of wins throughout the day Tuesday by voting 53-47 nine separate times to effectively kill a series of previous proposals from Schumer to subpoena White House, State Department, Defense Department, and Office of Management and Budget documents, as well as acting White House Chief of Staff Mike Mulvaney, Blair and Duffey, respectively. The party-line votes demonstrated GOP unity at the start of the trial, which is all but certain to result in the president's acquittal. An additional amendment on written responses was tabled by a 52-vote majority. (Read more)
- Father God, today we praise you that so far the SENATE REPUBLICANS stand STRONG and UNITED behind our President! Thank you Jesus!

2. Senate rejects subpoenaing Mulvaney to testify in impeachment trial-The Hill
Senate Republicans rejected an effort by Democrats to call White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney to testify at the outset of the impeachment trial.
Democrats forced a vote to get language included in the resolution on the trial rules that would subpoena Mulvaney, who previously defied a subpoena to appear as part of the House impeachment inquiry.
But senators voted 53-47 along party lines to table the amendment, effectively killing it. Democrats needed four Republican senators to support their efforts to get a deal on calling Mulvaney to testify as part of the rules resolution. (Read more)
- Father God, we thank you for this victory in protecting President Donald Trump against this extremely illegal and unconstitutional impeachment trial. Continue to deliver the president and acquit him fully in Jesus name, Amen!

3. Whistleblower Was Overheard in '17 Discussing With Ally How to Remove Trump-Real Clear Politics
Barely two weeks after Donald Trump took office, Eric Ciaramella - the CIA analyst whose name was recently linked in a tweet by the president and mentioned by lawmakers as the anonymous "whistleblower" who touched off Trump's impeachment - was overheard in the White House discussing with another staffer how to remove the newly elected president from office, according to former colleagues.
Sources told RealClearInvestigations the staffer with whom Ciaramella was speaking was Sean Misko. Both were Obama administration holdovers working in the Trump White House on foreign policy and national security issues. And both expressed anger over Trump's new "America First" foreign policy, a sea change from President Obama's approach to international affairs.
"Just days after he was sworn in they were already talking about trying to get rid of him," said a White House colleague who overheard their conversation. (Read more)
- Father God, we ask that you would continue to reveal the truth to the hearts and minds of the American public on how deceptive this so-called whistleblower was in accusing president Trump of something he did not do. Let your light expose these lies in Jesus name.

4. Sen. Paul: 45 Republicans ready to dismiss impeachment charges against Trump-Washington Post
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a leading ally of President Trump, said Wednesday that 45 Republicans are ready to dismiss the charges against the president and he would keep pushing to rally a majority of GOP senators to end the impeachment trial.
"There are 45, with about five to eight wanting to hear a little more," Paul said in an interview with The Washington Post. "I still would like to dismiss it, but there aren't the votes to do it just yet."
With support from other Trump allies, Paul said he would continue to pressure his colleagues in the coming days to move on from the trial and listening to the House's Democratic managers, including Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.). (Read more)
- Thank you God for the unity among republicans in the senate. We ask that you continue to work on the hearts of those being pressured to betray president Trump and give them boldness to do the right thing!

5. Trump admin releases trove of documents on Ukrainian military aid-The Hill
The White House's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) late Tuesday released a cache of nearly 200 documents related to officials' discussions surrounding the withholding of military aid to Ukraine.
The documents - which were released just before midnight in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by American Oversight, a watchdog group - featured a host of communications between senior White House official Michael Duffey and other OMB aides, including Mark Sandy and Paul Denaro. Emails from acting OMB Director Russell Vought are also included in the documents.
The records, which are heavily redacted, include a flurry of emails between officials in late June after the Washington Examiner published a story about the Defense Department's plans to send $250 million in security aid to Ukraine. (Read more)
- Father, we pray these documents give favor to President Trump!

6. DC sues Trump inaugural committee, alleging abuse of funds-AP News
The District of Columbia is suing President Donald Trump's inaugural committee and two companies that control the Trump International Hotel in the nation's capital, accusing them of throwing parties for the Trump family with nonprofit funds, and overpaying for event space at the hotel.
The district's attorney general, Karl Racine, said the inaugural committee had been "blatantly and unlawfully abusing nonprofit funds to enrich the Trump family." The lawsuit, announced Wednesday, alleges that the committee abused nonprofit funds and coordinated with the Trump family to "grossly overpay for event space" in the hotel.
The committee has maintained that its finances were independently audited, and that all money was spent in accordance with the law. (Read more)

The United States is moving to add more countries to its travel ban list, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday, but gave no other details, saying the changes would be announced soon.
The Trump administration is planning to add seven countries - Belarus, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Sudan and Tanzania - to the list, U.S. media reported on Tuesday. (Read more)

8. We will take a look': Trump to consider entitlement cuts toward end of 2020-Washington Examiner
President Trump said he will begin considering cuts to entitlement spending "toward the end of the year," putting a politically perilous issue in play for 2020 that he had kept off the table in 2016, when he pledged to leave the programs alone.
Trump told CNBC in an interview from the sidelines of the Davos Summit on Wednesday that an increasingly strong U.S. economy will create the perfect moment to consider cuts. "It will be toward the end of the year. The growth is going to be incredible. And at the right time, we will take a look at that."
Spending cuts have technically been on the agenda since at least last year, when the White House budget proposal for fiscal year 2020 proposed trillions in cuts to reach the goal of a balanced budget by 2034. The administration's forecast, which relies on strong economic projections, calls for a $2.7 trillion spending cut over the coming decade. Much of this would come through cuts to entitlement spending, estimated at $1.9 trillion. But none of the entitlement cuts were expected to be enacted in the near term. (Read more)
- Father, give President Trump insights on balancing the budget and making the cuts to entitlement spending.
- Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.(2 Timothy 2:7)
9. Pro-Life Is Pro-Woman': What to Expect From 2020 March for Life-The Daily Signal
"Life Empowers: Pro-life Is Pro-Woman" is the theme of this year's March for Life, set to take place Friday in the nation's capital. Since 1974, the March for Life has gathered to remember the lives lost since the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade ruling legalizing abortion, and to remind America that each life has value.
People come to March for Life in Washington, D.C., from states all across America....The March for Life is very interesting in that it's a place to come and witness and testify to the beautiful inherent dignity of the unborn person. And yet, ironically, for those of us who participate in the march every year, it's an opportunity for our own hearts and minds to be changed even more about this issue. (Read more)
- Father God, we pray that you would richly bless those who are fighting for the rights of the unborn. We realize these babies are God's ideas, created by you before they were ever in their mothers womb. Let the public and the courts be moved by these truths.
- "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." (Psalm 139:13-14)
10. US TEAM MEETS MIDEAST OFFICIALS TO DISCUSS PEACE PLAN ROLLOUT-The Jerusalem post
The United States's peace team - Jared Kushner, senior adviser to the president; Avi Berkowitz, special representative for international negotiation; and Brian Hook, special representative for Iran - is holding a series of meetings with Middle East officials and other relevant leaders to discuss a possible rollout of the US administration peace plan. The three are currently attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, where they are expected to stay until Wednesday, before traveling to Israel to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Blue and White leader Benny Gantz.
Earlier this week, Berkowitz also met with Middle East officials in London to discuss the plan, The Jerusalem Post had learned. The sensitive talks are taking place amid growing speculations that the administration could introduce the deal in the upcoming days. While no decision has been made, it is likely that US President Donald Trump will decide whether to release the plan in the coming days in order to avoid making the announcement too close to Israel's elections in March. (Read more)
- Heavenly Father, we lift up to you this meeting between the US Peace Team and the leaders of Israel. We pray for Your will to be done in Israel, as it is in Heaven. We ask You, God the Protector and Defender of Israel, to give divine wisdom to all in attendance and cause their hearts and minds to stand strong for a united Israel. We ask that any plans made in darkness with hidden agendas be revealed and not allowed to violate Your plans and purposes. We pray for the peace, Your Shalom, to fall on Jerusalem. In the name of Yeshua, amen.
- "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee." (Psalm 122:6)
White House Comments
White House Comments:
5 times Adam Schiff just totally made it up today
Wednesday, January 22, 2020
Democrats have based their whole impeachment sham on the word and judgement of Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who pleaded the left's case for 2 ½ hours before the Senate today. Spoiler alert: That wasn't a good idea. Schiff is the worst choice to put in front of Americans fed up with Washington's partisan circus. His only real priority is attacking President Trump, and he's more than happy to resort to lies, leaks, and whatever else it takes to do it.
In September, during a House Intelligence Committee hearing, Schiff made headlines by fabricating a completely made-up version of the July 25th phone call between President Trump and President Zelenskyy of Ukraine. Then, news broke that Schiff's staff had behind-the-scenes contact with the "whistleblower" at the center of the impeachment probe before that complaint was ever even filed.
"We have not spoken directly with the whistleblower," Schiff had claimed before the truth caught up with him. Oops-not the best person to stake Democrats' credibility on.
Today was no different. Schiff's one-sided impeachment report-the document that serves as the basis for Democrats' entire case-is nothing but a partisan hatchet job. Rather than draw more attention to their flimsy, fake "investigation," Schiff chose to deflect and make up more lies about President Trump. Here are a few of the biggest ones:
- Schiff claims that President Trump endorsed the theory that Russia did not interfere in the 2016 election. FACT: President Trump has publicly said, very clearly, that he accepts the conclusion of the intelligence community that Russia interfered in 2016.
- Schiff says that President Trump withheld an Oval Office meeting from President Zelenskyy. FACT: President Trump invited President Zelenskyy to the White House-with no preconditions-on THREE occasions: April 21, May 29, and July 25. They met at the first opportunity, at the UN General Assembly.
- Schiff once again brought up claims of a "quid pro quo." FACT: Notice what's not in Democrats' articles of impeachment? Allegations or accusations of a quid pro quo. They couldn't include that claim-because no such arrangement existed.
- BONUS: Schiff completely misrepresented what Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said about foreign policy, Chris Wallace says.
For years, Schiff lied about the Russia hoax, claiming there was evidence of collusion only to be proven wrong by the Mueller Report. This time, House Democrats learned their lesson: Why risk letting the facts get in the way? Impeach first, investigate later-or beg the Senate to do it for them.

Media lies on Richmond gun control protests
An egregious example of fake news in 2020 is the media's manipulation and propagandizing of Monday's protest rally held in Richmond, VA., against the gun control measures proposed by radical leftist Democratic governor Ralph Northam and his Democrat-controlled legislature. The media characterized the protest as white nationalists, racists, bigots, white supremacists, and other right-wing groups pitted against a noble governor who just wanted to stop mass shootings with a few reasonable and harmless gun control measures. The media told the public that all Northam and his Democrat buddies wanted to do was background checks and a limit on hand gun purchases to one a month. Lies of omission.
The media failed to metion that Northam and the leftist legislators had expressed intent to actually go so far as door to door confiscations of guns-and that is what was truly behind the protests. Northam backed a slate of gun control bills that would make some guns illegal and Democrat legislators are mulling over what to do about existing weapons owned by private individuals. Northam hinted in December 2019 that law enforcement may be used to enforce compliance, "If we have constitutional laws on the books and law enforcement officers are not enforcing those laws on the books, then there are going to be consequences, but I'll cross that bridge if and when we get to it." Another VA Democrat, Rep Donald McEachin, suggested the use of the National Guard to enforce the laws, and in doing so, confiscate guns from private individuals.
This prompted many cities and counties in Virginia to vote to become Second Amendment Sanctuaries. All this has been down-played by the media up to the rally in Richmond Monday. Then the media wrote several stories about poor little reporters who were fearful of covering the protests because they might be shot. The media was beating the drum of possible violence, which did not occur. Then AP wrote a story about how the white nationalists played nice, no violence, and that only 22,000 showed up. AP quoted a leftist representative saying that he was surprised so few people came to the protest and that it wouldn't change his mind about the gun controls. That was the largest rally in Richmond in ages.
There is so much wrong about the media coverage of this and their willful ignoring of not only the facts, but the Constitutional rights issues involved. Criminals and leftists are perpetrators of violence, not law-abiding gun-owning citizens- which was proven Monday. To lie about the fundamental crux of the protest-the use of a police state to enforce unconstitutional gun grabs-and to pass off the anger as being generated by background checks, is totally irresponsible. Then to characterize all gun owners in Virginia as white nationalists/supremacists is reprehensible. The media in general demonstrated clearly it is a propaganda arm for a socialist police state. It is shameful. Proverbs 13:5 says, "A righteous man hates lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and comes to shame." And so it is in Virginia's statehouse and media.

ARCTIC LIGHT PILLARS
They look like auroras, but they're not. "I saw a brilliant display of light pillars on Jan. 20th," reports Andy Pritchard of Saariselka, Finland. "They were sparkling like static noise."
Pritchard had just finished skiing when the pillars appeared. "We were walking to our cabin and looked back toward the ski slopes to see the lights. They were amazing!"
Light pillars are caused by ice crystals in the air, which intercept manmade lights and spread them into vertical columns. The "sparkling" Pritchard observed was a glinting of light from facets of the blowing, falling crystals. No solar activity is required for the phenomenon. The only ingredients are ice and light bulbs.
Light pillars get their color from the hue of the underlying light bulb. Warm orange corresponds to traditional high pressure sodium lamps, while bright white typically comes from new LED lamps. The slopes in Saariselka appear to be illuminated by a mixture of both.
