Coronavirus Impeachment and Reality

By Rich Kozlovich

Recently it was reported that a Fox Business News commentator, Trish Regan,  lost her job allegedly because on March 9th she stated, and I think factually:

"The chorus of hate being leveled at the president is nearing a crescendo as Democrats blame him, and only him, for a virus that originated halfway around the world. This is yet another attempt to impeach the president."  Meanwhile, an on-screen chyron electronic graphic read, "Coronavirus Impeachment Scam."  Three days later, Regan's program was put on hiatus — ostensibly so FBN could reallocate its resources and focus on the growing coronavirus crisis.

Was it an action against a Trump supporter on Fox's staff, or was it all about staffing issues, which Regan says she understands and it's okay with her?  I think it was a combination of both.  They needed staff reductions, and she was picked because her views aren't in harmony where Fox is heading. 

Staffing on shows is based on ratings, and Hannity, who said much the same thing as Regan is fine because his ratings at Fox are sky high.   But make no mistake about this - Fox isn't now nor was it ever been, a conservative news outlet.  It just wasn't a leftist propaganda machine of the left.  Although it looks as if they're trending in that direction. 

American Thinker writer Steve Grammatico posted the article, Awakening a sleeping giant -- the low information voter, noting:

Among America’s 235 million people eligible to cast ballots this fall are low-information voters, or “lowfos,” a sizable subset of the electorate’s independents bloc. Many lead busy lives, don’t venture beyond the headlines, and are generally “a pox on all your houses” apolitical. Lowfos may be ignorant about current events, but they are not stupid. If they vote at all, which way they fall might be determined by the last ad they saw or headline scanned. At least, that’s the way it used to before coronavirus and “stay at home” forced them inside with nothing to do but get up to speed on what’s happened to upend their routines. This is bad news for Democrats.

So why is all this bad news for the Democrats?  Because the left, from the very start, played the blame game.  It's Trump's fault.  Trump is incompetent.  Trump should have done this or shouldn't have done that, and it goes on ad nauseum. 

A few days ago one Democrat Congressman said Trump had no plan to fix this problem and it was time for them to put a "plan" into effect.  Well, where's The Plan?  Do they have a plan?   Yes, they do, which I outlined in my piece entitled...what else....The Plan, and that plan is now and has always been to attack Trump, offer nothing substantive, and resist anything the President wants to do with lies and smear tactics, all in collusion with the media. 

Patricia McCarthy, one of my favorite writers, has an extremely well thought out article about Democrat plans entitled, The Hate-Trump Club mission statement.  This is an article everyone needs to read in full.  She starts out saying:

We are the left. The sole reason for our existence is to see Donald Trump removed from office. We also intend to bring about his and his family’s total personal destruction. He must be demolished. He is a man of the people, not one of us. He dwells not in our swamp. The goals of our mission and the story of our execution of our mission are as follows:.......

She follows this with thirteen bullet points of Democrat mendacity and corruption.  Bullet point thirteen ends saying:

Well, 13 is the unlucky number. Our club is unlucky indeed. We’ve sabotaged ourselves. We misjudged the American people. They simply will not be sufficiently submissive; it is not in their nature, no matter what party with which they are affiliated. Our club’s membership is dwindling. We hesitate to address and admit our misguided attempts to politically massacre Donald Trump, but we must. He has had us all for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We’re done. As Walt Kelly so famously observed, “we have met the enemy and he is us.”

In short, the "plan" is not working. And it's not working on many levels.

Yesterday I posted this piece, De Omnibus Dubitandum: Is Coronavirus Teaching America to Question Everything!, saying:

All these people out here are fundamentally ignorant, that at least is an excuse, it means they just don't know, but ignorance is fixable by learning. 

Was that intended to be an insult?  No, it was intended to define reality since definition leads to clarity.  And now these uninformed, misinformed and low information Americans have "swallowed the red pill, and their eyes are now open.  November will tell the tale."

This dissatisfaction may be spreading and impacting Democrat decision makers, since there appears to be, some dissatisfaction with Nancy Pelosi and company demanding the party abandon politicizing this pandemic with a "call for immediate funding for a now-depleted program to provide loans to small businesses affected by the coronavirus crisis."  

This trend is going to continue as more information becomes available, but one thing is clear now, Trump is looking better to Americans than ever, and I don't care what polls are say. 

Make no mistake about this.  After this passes, we'll all look around and say, was that all there was? Then we'll be wondering:  How in the world did we allow this happen?  Then maybe, just maybe,  we will start questioning everything. 

One final point. As we see these governors violating every fundamental right outlined in the Constitution, we must define this issue in order to see it clearly.   The Ten Amendments to the Constitution weren't the Ten Recommendations.
