Excerpt:
But the new normal is not normal.  The other day, the great Mark Levin interviewed Colonel Richard Kemp, a British former commander in Afghanistan.

“I don’t believe President Biden should be impeached,” Kemp said.  “He’s the commander-in-chief of the U.S. armed forces who’s just essentially surrendered to the Taliban: He shouldn’t be impeached. He should be court-martialed for betraying the United States of America and the United States armed forces.”

But think about the line of succession.

First up in the event of a President’s death, incapacity, or removal is the Vice-President.

For us, that would be Kamala Harris.

Let us draw a veil and move on to the next in the line of succession, the Speaker of the House: Nancy Pelosi.

Moving on, we have the President pro tem of the Senate, Patrick Leahy, followed by the Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken.

Next up is Secretary of the Treasury, Janet Yellen, followed by the Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
