In the 1950s a series of Congressional committees were formed with the ostensible goal to root out communists in the United States. Sen. Joe McCarthy became the face of the effort and its inevitable lighting rod. The genesis of the hearings may be traced to McCarthy delivering a speech to a West Virginia woman’s club, and famously holding a piece of paper in his hand, declaring he had the names of 205 communists. In fact, there was no such list. It was theater.During that decade several hearings were chaired by McCarthy on the Senate side and others chaired by House members. Each committee threw wide nets to fish for communists

The Democrats may be woefully inept at governing, but they sure know how to do Stalinist show trials.

We could use a guy like McCarthy right now. If someone rooted out the communists in DC today, the place would be a ghost town. Same with Hollywood and Academia. They demonize him, but he was right. Look at us now.

Well, that's what the Jan 6 commission is all about - theater.

Respectfully, anyone who believes the shoe will be on the other foot next year has not been paying attention or has no idea who Republicans are. The dems will cry, let’s be bipartisan for the sake of the country, and Republicans will stupidly agree. Once more, Lucy sets up the football for Charlie Brown and it always ends the same way with Republicans on their backsides seeing stars. Lobbyists, insider trading by our public servants, pay for play, waste, and congressional committees are the root of corruption in our government. If they want to investigate anything, the investigators should be from outside DC, unaffiliated in anyway with the matter, totally transparent, with Subpoena power under penalty of jail time, reasonably paid, within stated times to complete their work, and everything is fully televised. The defendant should be represented by counsel and their decision should come with the ability to indict in a Court of law. Americans are so done with these snow trials. Either put some transparency and teeth in them or discontinue them. That way these purported public servants may actually get to do some real work on behalf of the American people. Stop this nonsense though. It is patently obvious these are political show trials with the sole purpose of destroying lives and not collecting information.

Since Pelosi didn't set this committee up by following the legal rules, this committee is an illegal farce. She refused to seat any republicans except the two she chose herself. That is not in the rules. Her rules yes, but not the rules that follow the constitution.

According to a recent Harvard-Harris poll, Americans think Trump did a better job as president than Brandon is doing.The poll, which recorded the responses of 1,815 registered voters, first asked those voters “In general, do you think the country is on the right track or is it off on the wrong track?”The answers tracked with what many have been reporting recently. 33% of respondents said they thought the country is on the right track, 59% said the nation is on the wrong track, and the remaining 8% were unsure.The next question was similar, but focused on the economy rather than the country as a whole,

Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary are among the countries expected to receive them.The report claimed that not all NATO countries are on board with the potential plan, which the US and United Kingdom have signed onto.

For 50 years, Joe Biden cultivated an illusory image of being a kindly — if dimwitted — uncle: someone whose terrible politics and inappropriate malapropisms were tolerated because he said he meant well. What a farce. Uncle Joe — now firmly in grandfather territory — was never that guy. Long a fantasist who recounts fake stories years after they’ve been debunked, Biden was always a hit-and-run liar. He was also always a hack and a jerk, with an anger that betrays the arrogance of a corrupt elite. This week, he called Fox News reporter Peter Doocy

President Joe Biden said there would be enormous impacts in Europe should Russia invade Ukraine – and said such a move would bring 'severe consequences' for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Biden made the sweeping statements at a Capitol Hill gift shop, as he began to make good on a pledge to get out into the country more, although in this case just minutes from the White House. He issued stark pronouncements bout the global stakes after examining gifts for family, speaking to the national media in front of a tote bag featuring a blue whale.

Michael Rapaport filmed the moment a brazen thief sauntered out of a Rite Aid in the Upper East side of New York City with two shopping bags full of stolen goods, calling it 'pathetic' that brazen crime continues to spiral in the Big Apple because of soft-on-crime policies.The actor and comedian, who posted footage of the incident on Instagram, told DailyMail.com that he was ‘disgusted’ and ‘surprised’ when he saw the thief stocking up on items from three different sections of the pharmacy before deciding he was satisfied.

NEW YORK— The stock market is losing crucial support from the Federal Reserve. Omicron is causing havoc at businesses around the world. And Russia just might be preparing to invade Ukraine, creating more uncertainty and raising the prospect of even higher oil prices. No wonder investors are freaking out — and selling stocks. The S&P 500 has dropped nearly 10% from its record set on the first trading day of the year, the biggest setback for Wall Street since its collapse when the pandemic first struck. And the market’s moves have been fierce amid the mounting uncertainty. The S&P 500 had four straight drops of 1% through Friday, the longest
Dershowitz: Jan. 6 Committee similar to

A Harvard Law professor compared the January 6 Committee to a tactic used in the 1950s to oust accused communists who had no actual ties to the party. Legal scholar Alan Dershowitz said the panel is not a valid congressional body and it’s actually in violation of legislative rules “It reminds me a little bit of McCarthyism, where you had committees like the House Un-American Activities Committee, which didn’t have an appropriate legislative purpose,” he explained. “They were just trying to subpoena people for political and ideological purposes.”In a recent interview with Breitbart, Dershowitz said the panel is being used by Democrats to target political opponents similar to

Fox News reporter Bill Melugin caught Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration allegedly releasing a large group of single adult illegal aliens into the United States in Texas.“Fox witnessed men go into a small, unmarked office, then re-emerge moments later as multiple taxi cabs then showed up to collect the migrants — who were then shuttled off to nearby Harlingen Airport. There were no children or migrant families among the groups,” Fox News reported. “Several of the migrants told Fox that they had crossed illegally that morning, paying approximately $2,000 per person to cartel smugglers. They also said they were flying to destinations including Miami, Houston and Atlanta.”

Nearly 64,000 U.S. troops are at the ready in Europe to deploy to the continent's eastern flank if President Biden makes such a call to counter growing Russian aggression at the border with Ukraine. As Vladimir Putin has deployed 100,000 Russian forces to the Ukraine border and continues to stoke fears he will invade, the U.S. may have to ready its troops and its cache of arms situated throughout Europe, including 40 warships, 175 aircraft and 90 tanks. Military officials presented the commander-in-chief with a plan to deploy up to 50,000 troops if the security situation deteriorates and Russia launches an invasion

The big news on Monday night was that Joe Biden, in response to a perfectly appropriate question from Fox News White House correspondent Steve Doocy, not only refused to answer, but openly and into the mic called Doocy a "stupid son of a b‑‑‑‑." Biden then called Doocy, ostensibly to apologize. In fact, he didn't apologize at all, but Doocy seemed happy to be the nice guy who accepted a private non-apology in exchange for a public insult. (snip) What he should have said was, "Mr. Biden, you very publicly and crudely insulted me. I expect an equally public, explicit apology."

People who harass or bully others do so in order to validate to themselves that they are somebody. They learned this behavior from role models in their environment. Most often, they were harassed or bullied during their childhood or adolescence and they act out their hurt and frustration by treating others the way they were treated. It is a defence mechanism. “I will put you in your place and show my power over you, before you do the same to me,” is the unconscious thought process behind bullying. By doing this, the bully, in fact, feels safe.
