Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House could ultimately vote to unseat Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, who won Iowa's 2nd Congressional District seat by just six votes out of more than 394,000 cast. Pelosi told reporters that the Democratic-led House Administration Committee “is following the law,” in its review of the election, and it could ultimately result in a move to force out the first-term Iowa Republican. “We will see where that takes us, but there could be a scenario to that extent,” Pelosi said. Democratic candidate Rita Hart has contested her narrow loss to Miller-Meeks, leaving the House Administration Committee to

The Demon-Rats mastered the art of election theft in the last election -- with absolutely no consequences. So they will never lose another major election again. They will control both houses of Congress and the presidency for decades. Oh, sure, they will allow a few Republi-can'ts to win to keep up the allusion of still having a 2-party system instead of the Demon-Rat dictatorship we truly have now. But there is no way they are going to allow anywhere near enough Republi-Can'ts to win to have any risk of the Republi-Can'ts taking back either house of Congress again. And the Republi-Can'ts they do allow to win with be wishy-washy spineless impotent RINO's who won't dar to make any waves. Yes, this is our new reality. Yes, we are reamed!!!!!

Didn't Nancy already effectively unseat all Republicans once? Didn't she exclude Republicans from participating in the committee discussions during her first 100 days as Speaker (in 2007)?

It's ok for Democrats to contest elections. Pelosi is doing what is necessary to do that. Republicans could not contest the presidential election. We had Mike Pence, who decided his future lay with McConnell, only to now learn that neither he, nor McConnell, have a future.

Respectfully, Poster 4, do you think House Speaker Kevin McCarthy would review an election and unseat a democrat? I don’t because McCarthy is limp wristed rino. He’s a reach across the aisle guy. I am sure the democrats are going to steal this Iowa House seat, because they can. When they do, Kevin McCarthy will quiver under his desk. And then send a strongly worded letter.

No kidding! The truth be known, and if Pelosi could find a way to do it, she would remove every wimpy Republican from the House of Representatives except those who agreed to cross the aisle and agree with their Democrat friends and support the leftist Democrat political agenda.

Even with indoor dining returning in many parts of Southern California, officials are urging caution because of the ongoing COVID-19 risk. Dr. Muntu Davis, the Los Angeles County health officer, cautioned that eating in a restaurant’s indoor dining room is still risky. If eating at a restaurant, dining outdoors remains safer, he said Friday. “People are susceptible to this virus. There are variants that are circulating in our county,” Davis said. “Many of those can be more easily transmitted, and some may be causing more severe disease.” The risk of dining indoors at restaurants is one reason why L.A.

MINNEAPOLIS – Target announced on Thursday that the company is downsizing its Minneapolis office space by moving out of City Center, a move that decreases its downtown footprint by one-third. In an email to corporate employees, Target executives said its post-pandemic “Flex for Your Day” policy—a hybrid model that will allow both remote and on-site work—requires less office space, driving the decision to stop its lease of nearly one million square feet at City Center. The 3,500 employees who worked at that location will be relocated to another Minneapolis location or Brooklyn Park. There are no lay-offs due to the

UNITED NATIONS — The United Nations chief criticized the “many examples of vaccine nationalism and vaccine hoarding” as well as side deals with COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers that undermine access to all people in the world. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a statement marking one year since the U.N. World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic that “the global vaccination campaign represents the greatest moral test of our times.” Ensuring that all people are vaccinated -- and “many low-income countries have not yet received a single dose” -- is essential to restart the global economy “and help the world move from

Pharmacists may be on the front line of Covid-19 vaccination distribution, but they feel increasingly like an afterthought when they try to get paid for it. A common complaint among community pharmacists is that they are sapped physically, mentally and financially by hours of paperwork, piles of rejected claims and unceasing billing audits just to receive some level of payment for administering vaccines. And it’s a problem that could push some of these small businesses to the brink financially.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Thursday introduced for the second time a bill that would guarantee full payment forgiveness on rent and home mortgage payments throughout the coronavirus pandemic. Under the bill, titled the Rent and Mortgage Cancellation Act, there would be no accumulation of debt for renters or homeowners, as well as no negative impact on a person’s credit rating or rental history. The legislation also calls on the Department of Housing and Urban Development to establish and oversee a “Landlord Relief Fund,” to cover any losses landlords would receive as a result of the payment cancellations.

Eli Lilly & Co says its combination antibody therapy is effective at treating mild to moderate cases of COVID-19. The treatment, a mixture of drugs bamlanivimab and etesevimab, was developed by Indianapolis-based Lilly and the Canadian company AbCellera. It recognizes the virus once a person is infected and attaches to it, preventing the pathogen from entering human cells, and therefore neutralizing it. In trial data released on Wednesday, Eli Lilly said the combination reduced the risk of hospitalization and death by 87 percent compared to a placebo. The results are an improvement of an earlier study of the combination, which reduced the risk of hospitalization and death by 70 percent.
