President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden engaged in a coup in Ukraine in 2014, overthrowing the government of Viktor Yanukovych to get a trade deal between Ukraine and the EU ratified. What followed the revolution and the trade deal was a destructive civil war that tore Ukraine in half, poisoned U.S.-Russian relations, caused more corruption, Ukraine participated in its own election interference operations in 2016 in favor of Hillary Clinton and ultimately, brought about the landslide election of comedian Volodymyr Zelensky on an anti-corruption platform in 2019. And now House Democrats are threatening the impeachment of President Donald Trump for simply asking the newly elected President Zelensky about Ukraine’s potential role with the U.S. in the phony Russiagate investigation by intelligence agencies and the Justice Department in 2016 that falsely accused Trump of being a Russian agent, and also raising Biden’s role in the country including having the prosecutor general fired. They engaged in a coup and caused a civil war in Ukraine, and now they want to do the same thing here. Can it be stopped?

Why did Obama-Biden support the coup of Ukraine in 2014? In Biden’s words, to pass a trade deal.

It may be hard to believe, but the civil war in Ukraine that began in 2014 actually started out as a policy disagreement over a trade deal with the European Union. That’s the story former Vice President Joe Biden tells in his book, “Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose,” published in 2017. “A popular demonstration,” Biden wrote, “which started at a square in Kyiv in late 2013, when President Viktor Yanukovych reneged on his promise to take the country into the European Union, had grown from a spontaneous eruption to a real political movement…” Biden is referring to the pro-Europe, anti-Russia trade agreement, called the Ukraine–European Union Association Agreement. It was a trade deal Yanukovych’s then-adviser Paul Manafort had advised him to adopt, but in 2013, he rejected Manafort’s advice, pulling out of the deal. What followed was a revolution in Ukraine that ultimately ousted Yanukovych from power in Feb. 2014, embroiling Ukraine in civil war that led directly to the annexation of Crimea by Russia. Yanukovych then fled to Russia on Feb. 22, 2014, and the trade deal was signed in March 2014. By Biden’s account, it was his pressure that prompted Yanukovych to flee. Biden wrote, “I was telling him it was over… The disgraced president fled Ukraine the next day…” and the trade deal was signed within weeks by the new government the U.S. State Department helped install. Can you believe this?

Did the CIA just try to overthrow President Trump to cover up the origins of Russiagate in Ukraine on behalf of Biden?

President Donald Trump was trying to get to the bottom of the origins of Russiagate in his phone call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and former Vice President Joe Biden came up, too. The President believes the investigation on false allegations that he was a Russian agent might have originated in Ukraine. Biden ran Obama’s Ukraine policy. The Justice Department has confirmed it is looking at Ukraine. Now the New York Times reports a CIA agent, who the Intelligence Community Inspector General reports was politically biased, working at the White House put all of that classified information into a whistleblower complaint, which was rejected by the Justice Department, and then the information was illegally parceled out to the New York Times and Washington Post by somebody for reporting. Within a week of the reporting House Democrats are ready to impeach Trump. Was removing Trump the point to cover up the origins of the witch hunt and to protect Biden?

Ukraine pledges cooperation on getting to the origins of Russiagate as Justice Department confirms investigation:
http://dailytorch.com/2019/09/ukraine-pledges-cooperation-on-getting-to-the-origins-of-russiagate-as-justice-department-confirms-investigation/

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says there was no pressure by President Donald Trump on military aid to Ukraine, and has pledged to cooperate with the U.S. on getting to the bottom of any Ukrainian origins of the Russiagate investigation, where Trump was falsely accused by intelligence agencies and the Justice Department of being a Russian agent. In the meantime, the Justice Department confirmed an investigation into “the extent to which a number of countries, including Ukraine, played a role in the counterintelligence investigation directed at the Trump campaign during the 2016 election…” Will we ever find out what really happened?

Pelosi’s call for impeaching Trump on Ukraine risks war, ignores corruption there that was fueled by Obama-Biden:
http://dailytorch.com/2019/09/pelosis-call-for-impeaching-trump-on-ukraine-risks-war-ignores-corruption-there-that-was-fueled-by-obama-biden/

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced on Sept. 24 that she is about to embroil the nation in the impeachment of President Donald Trump on allegations, without evidence, that the President pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in July by threatening to withhold foreign military aid unless former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, were investigated for pressuring Ukraine by threatening to withhold $1 billion of loan guarantees if Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin was not fired in 2016. Trump’s impeachable offense, in Pelosi’s eyes, was merely mentioning Biden’s blatant conflict of interests in leading the firing of Shokin by Biden’s own admission when the President spoke with Zelensky. In 2016, Trump blasted the Obama administration’s conduct in Ukraine and warned that the nation was risking war with Russia. Like it or not, it is President Trump’s job right now is to keep the peace in Ukraine. But if Trump is impeached by the House in a blind frenzy for trying to avoid an unnecessary war with Russia over Ukraine, and improving relations in that region that Obama and Biden clearly wrecked, it might very well cause one.

Spygate was an act of war and if its perpetrators are not held accountable, it will happen again:
http://dailytorch.com/2019/09/spygate-was-an-act-of-war-and-if-the-perpetrators-are-not-held-accountable-it-will-happen-again/

Spygate was an act of war. Russia hacked the DNC and John Podesta and had the emails published on Wikileaks. That surely was viewed by the Obama administration as an act of war and it responded in kind. It was called a digital Pearl Harbor. However, their first response was not to sanction Russia. No, that would not come until Dec. 2016 — after the election. Before the election, the first response was to obtain surveillance against the Trump campaign and the GOP. The surveillance gave intelligence agencies unprecedented access to the operations of one of the major parties’ presidential campaigns. Intelligence and surveillance powers are war powers. They are designed to identify targets, usually military, for purposes of eliminating threats to national security in the event of war. Their use, therefore, is itself an act of war, including when it is used domestically.The American people are told that these powers are essential to defending national security. But used wrongly, as they were in spygate, they become themselves the greatest threat to national security and the Constitution. What do you think?

In the flash of an eye, the world’s oil supply was cut by 5 percent. The world needs more oil, but Green New Deal Dems say no.

The American people are still awaiting the Trump administration rewrite of the Obama-era Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule that conditioned more than $3 billion of annual community development block grants to more than 1,200 cities and counties on making changes to local zoning based on income and racial guidelines. It would have put the federal government in charge of zoning. Congress stepped in and blocked the rule. However, HUD Secretary Ben Carson appears committed to continuing to use block grants to make changes to zoning, not to address racial or income inequality, but to help making housing more affordable. In an Aug. 13, 2018 interview with the Wall Street Journal he said, “I would incentivize people who really would like to get a nice juicy government grant [to look at their zoning codes].” While addressing zoning and removing regulations to help make housing affordable is a laudable goal, municipalities should be the ones to address it, not bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. We’ve seen this movie before. Once it is no longer up to cities and counties to make these decisions, the federal government will never give it back. What do you think?

Did anyone notice that the 10-year, 2-year un-inverted, forestalling recession fears?
http://dailytorch.com/2019/09/did-anyone-notice-that-the-10-year-2-year-un-inverted-forestalling-recession-fears/

Don’t look now, but if you were planning on a severe recession and a spike in unemployment before the 2020 elections in the hopes it would help oust President Donald Trump, you might have to keep waiting. The spread between 10-year and 2-year treasuries, the one that inverted in late August for a few trading days, thought to be a fairly reliable predicter of a recession on the horizon and certainly was widely reported as such, un-inverted on Sept. 4 without the same fanfare. Usually, interest rate inversions between the long and short interest rates like the 10-year, 2-year go fairly deep into negative territory for weeks and months as a certain recession signal on average about 16 months after the inversion, but in this case, the inversion was extremely shallow and only lasted for six trading days. So, was it a false signal?

Lowest black unemployment in American history at 5.5 percent makes the 2019 Trump economy the most equitable ever:
http://dailytorch.com/2019/09/lowest-black-unemployment-in-american-history-at-5-5-percent-makes-the-2019-trump-economy-the-most-equitable-ever/

The Trump economy has consistently been delivering, with near-50-year-low 3.7 percent unemployment nationwide, and the rising tide has been helping Americans of every race and background, including blacks. Since Jan. 2017, 1 million more African-Americans say they have jobs up to now 19.4 million, the most ever. There are 400,000 fewer unemployed as the jobless rate for blacks has dropped from 7.7 percent to the lowest unemployment rate ever at 5.5 percent in August, according to data compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In 2020, President Trump can take his campaign to urban centers that have traditionally voted Democratic on one of the best and certainly the most equitable economies in American history and attribute it in part to the expanded opportunities that his administration are helping to bring back home with its pro-growth, America first polices.

Trump should hit organizers of migrant caravan with sanctions as border migration down 55 percent since May:
http://dailytorch.com/2019/09/trump-should-hit-organizers-of-migrant-caravan-with-sanctions-as-border-migration-down-55-percent-since-may/

Apprehensions on the southern border slowed precipitously in August to 64,006 as illegal immigration was curtailed, the latest data from U.S. Customs and Border Patrol shows. Migration is down 55 percent from its peak in May 144,255 as people continue fleeing Central America in droves. But is it enough? The organizers of the caravans, Village Without Borders, remain fully operational throughout Mexico and Central America with the stated purpose of facilitating people to make the dangerous journey north into the U.S. illegally and building shelters along migration routes, with almost 1 million being sent in the past 12 months alone. So, why are they allowed to operate? President Trump is authorized under federal law to sanction human traffickers and could slap economic and financial penalties on Village Without Borders. And to the extent the group operates and raises money in the U.S., the Justice Department could take action and work with Mexican prosecutors to make certain the label sticks on both sides of the border.
