Sen. Lamar Alexander's Democratic colleagues are 'disappointed' with his no-witnesses vote, see a silver lining

Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) announced Thursday night that he will vote against calling new witnesses in President Trump's impeachment trial, but he also said Trump's actions were "inappropriate." His decision means there will likely be at most 50 votes for witnesses, and since few people think Chief Justice John Roberts would break a tie, Trump's trial is expected to come to a swift end. Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) told CNN's Anderson Cooper he's "very disappointed" in Alexander's decision, though it appears the GOP senator "essentially said that the House case has been proven but it doesn't rise to the level of impeachment." Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) told CNN's Chris Cuomo that he's also "deeply disappointed" in Alexander's decision to allow "the first impeachment trial in history that has no witnesses at all, and it's hard to imagine that this is a fair trial under those circumstances." On the other hand, he said, it's "refreshing to hear somebody on the other side describe it as inappropriate." Democratic…

Trump's impeachment trial might not wrap up today after all

Thought President Trump's impeachment trial was hours away from wrapping up? Think again. The Senate on Friday morning seemed headed toward acquitting Trump as soon as this evening, but The Washington Post is now reporting the impeachment trial is looking like it might actually last into next week, possibly not ending until as late as next Wednesday. According to the Post, the Senate may "take up a new procedural resolution laying out rules for the trial's endgame — which could include time for closing arguments, private deliberations and public speeches by senators." If the trial ends up lasting until Wednesday, this would mean Trump would have not yet been acquitted by the time he delivers his State of the Union address, which is scheduled for Tuesday. It also means the trial wouldn't be over in time for Monday's Iowa caucuses, much to the chagrin of Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.).

Mahama’s ‘Onuador’ vans only fit to sell ice-cream and Yoghurt- Abronye DC jabs

The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe popularly known as Abronye DC has descended heavily on the National Democratic Congress (NDC) bigwigs for making ‘noise’ about the delays that characterized the distribution   of ambulances by Akufo-Addo-led government. The NPP executive in response to criticism made by the Ranking Member on the Health of Parliament and NDC MP for Sefwi Akotombra, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh said the so-called  8 ‘Onuador’ mobile clinic vans procured under the erstwhile administration are not fit for purpose which must be their major concern instead. Mr. Akando had earlier revealed to the media that the jamboree to commission only about 200 ambulances out of the 275 the government was needless. “The jamboree and funfair was needless,” he said, adding that though he propagated for distribution of the ambulances, the accompanying funfair was a waste of state resources”, he said He further explained that he was reliably informed that only 130 out of 200 ambulances…

“The interior of the state of the art ambulances recently commissioned and distributed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo can give life back to a dying patient”, these were the exact words of Former Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Bernard Allotey Jacobs. He said the procurement and importation of the ambulances into the country is not only gratifying but will go a long way to save lives as well improve healthcare delivery in the country. Speaking on a local radio station monitored by MyNewsGh.com, the Educated Fisherman as he prefers to be called praised successive governments for also importing ambulances but admitted that those of the current President tops them all. “We all should face facts if you look at the inside and see the equipment and colour design it looks very attractive. If you are at the point of death, the colours in the ambulance can give you the vim to survive. The inside is great”, he observed. “All those ambulances that were brought into the country…
