House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced today that she spoke with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to stop President Trump launching a nuclear attack. And the House of Representatives will impeach him, she warned, if Vice President Mike Pence and the cabinet do not remove him by invoking the 25th Amendment to the Constitution.
Pelosi laid out what faced Trump in a five-point letter to House Democrats. Why Trump would fire nuclear missiles Pelosi did not explain.
It was enough for the leftist House speaker to level the charge. She knew her party’s information ministry, the mainstream media, would use it and attempt to terrify the American people.
Trump “Unhinged”
That fourth subsection of the letter opened this way: “Preventing an Unhinged President From Using the Nuclear Codes.”
“This morning, I spoke to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley to discuss available precautions for preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike,” Pelosi wrote.

What or whom the president would strike Pelosi did not explain. Nor did she speculate about why he would initiate such an attack. She simply said he’s crazy:
The situation of this unhinged President could not be more dangerous, and we must do everything that we can to protect the American people from his unbalanced assault on our country and our democracy.
Democrats have discussed impeachment and said the president is crazy, unhinged, and unbalanced since before his election. Yet he has not launched a nuclear attack.
Impeachment Comes Monday
That aside, the mostly-peaceful protest at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday — the event that precipitated this final attempt to bring down Trump — clearly terrified leftist Democrats and their ruling-class Republican enablers.
Unhappily, the protest turned violent. A Capitol Hill police officer, Brian Sicknick, died when “he returned to his division office and collapsed,” the police said. “He was taken to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.” An unidentified officer shot and killed Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, a Trump supporter.
Pelosi named Sicnick in her release. She omitted Babbitt. “Five people have now died because of the act of insurrection,” Pelosi wrote. “This is a stain on our nation’s history.”
Pelosi then told colleagues Trump would be removed, one way or the other.
“As you know, there is growing momentum around the invocation of the 25th Amendment,” she wrote, “which would allow the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to remove the President for his incitement of insurrection and the danger he still poses.”
That line referred to the threat she and Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer made yesterday. Remove Trump, they warned Pence and the Cabinet, or we will.
Yesterday, Leader Schumer and I placed a call with Vice President Pence, and we still hope to hear from him as soon as possible with a positive answer as to whether he and the Cabinet will honor their oath to the Constitution and the American people.
Nearly fifty years ago, after years of enabling their rogue President, Republicans in Congress finally told President Nixon that it was time to go. Today, following the President’s dangerous and seditious acts, Republicans in Congress need to follow that example and call on Trump to depart his office — immediately. If the President does not leave office imminently and willingly, the Congress will proceed with our action.
The Associated Press reported that “articles of impeachment are expected to be introduced on Monday, with a House vote as soon as Wednesday, according to a person familiar with the planning and granted anonymity to discuss it.”
As The New American reported yesterday, a phalanx of hard-left, hate-Trump Democrats opened fire on Trump with articles of impeachment.
Articles of impeachment from other leftist Democrats, AP reported, claim Trump “willfully made statements that encouraged — and foreseeably resulted in — imminent lawless action at the Capitol.”
Pelosi and Schumer tried to call Pence yesterday but never spoke to him. They expected Pence and the Cabinet to meet their demand the same day.
Given the speed with which GOP senators surrendered to the radical Left in the last two days, Trump’s acquittal in another impeachment trial is uncertain.
On August 24, Pelosi called the president and Republicans, and by implication their voters and supporters, “domestic enemies.” Four days later, an angry mob of leftists attacked Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky and others as they departed the White House after Trump’s speech to the Republican National Convention.
