Nadler’s subpoena swarm meant “to turn President’s exercise of normal constitutional powers into impeachable offenses.”

The examples he cites as crimes are legal presidential actions.

Well, we’re off on the march to impeachment, as we predicted last year even as Democrats said it wasn’t on their minds. With Chairman Jerry Nadler’s subpoena swarm from House Judiciary this week, and his assertions that President Trump obstructed justice, the articles of impeachment are apparently awaiting only the collection of the readily available details to fill in the blanks.

An Updated List of Military Units Deployed to the Southern Border

First reported by Military Times, U.S. Northern Command revealed on Tuesday which units are currently deployed to the U.S.- Mexico border in support of the U.S Department of Homeland Security. The active-duty units were deployed last fall in response to large caravans making their way through Central America and towards the American border.

Many of the units deployed to the border are engineers, military police, and transportation units. From the updated list that was released in November, a major difference is the increase in Marine Corps units.

Trump Reportedly Rolling Out ‘Cost Plus 50’ To Put the World on Notice

Via Billy

In fact, the plan — which is known as “Cost Plus 50” — would require that U.S. allied nations not only pick up the full cost incurred by hosting U.S. military bases and troops, but also pay a 50 percent premium for the “privilege” of favorable status and security that come along with the U.S. military presence in their nations.

Almost since the start of his campaign for the White House, President Donald Trump has consistently noted that U.S. allies fail to pay their “fair share” of the tremendous costs incurred to American taxpayers by the numerous military bases and troop deployments maintained in strategic locations around the globe.

This, despite those allied nations deriving for themselves considerable security benefits from the presence of U.S. military bases and troops on their soil, which, admittedly, often serve U.S. strategic interests just as much as the security interests of those particular allies, if not more so in some cases.

Company offers to build 234 miles of border wall for $1.4 billion

A U.S. company is offering to build 234 miles of President Trump's border wall for just $1.4 billion, a fraction of the $8 billion the Trump administration is hoping to use for that project.

Fisher Sand and Gravel Company's President and CEO Tommy Fisher said the government is overpaying and that for $4.31 billion, he can build the wall and incorporate paved roads and border technology plus warranty.

Devin Nunes: Mueller's team is 'part of the collusion'

Rep. Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, charged Friday that special counsel Robert Mueller is the real source of collusion that people should be focused on.

In a Fox News interview, Nunes said Mueller's team essentially colluded with Democrats to bring down President Trump, by accepting the Democrat-generated Steele dossier as evidence against Trump, and using it to further their investigation.

"These guys were meeting with the Democrats, they were taking in this Steele dossier, which was the dirt," said Nunes, R-Calif.

Politico: Ilhan Omar Is Trump’s ‘Dream Come True’

In a piece for Politico Thursday, Eliana Johnson and Melanie Zanona warn Democrats that freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar is playing right into President Trump's hands, and helping make what was once a "happily united" Democratic Party a bit more "complicated."

"She snidely refers to him as 'Individual 1.' She has denounced him for 'sabotaging the economy.' And she has accused him of engaging in 'dehumanizing rhetoric,'' Johnson and Zanona write. "But this week, freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has been President Donald Trump’s dream come true."
