House Republicans about to make Democrats squirm

Original Article

Posted By: Garnet, 1/11/2023 3:48:48 PM

Congressional Republicans, buoyed by their recent takeover of the House, have announced plans for a new committee, a special committee, a GOP-run committee, that will look at past years of government abuses committed by federal authorities against U.S. citizens — including against Donald Trump — and set the foundations in place, finally, for accountability. Democrats have reacted with horror. Of course they have.
 Cue the world’s smallest violin. Democrats are finally going to get what they deserve — a taste of their own witch-hunty ways.

Whenever a commiecrat is actually booted out of Congress, or sent to jail for their heinous misdeeds, then this will mean something. Until then, it's just a buncha hot air!

The ‘Rats are so brazen, thick skinned and shameless that frankly they don’t give a rat’s a**. At least it will bring the inequities in front of the people and make them undeniable. There was a time in this country when that would affect election outcomes. That era is now gone.

Well ... it's a start! The real key here is to get people under oath and make them worry about lying and the consequences. Once that happens ... it's a new ballgame. Slips of tongue and loose lips can sink ships. Remember ... we all found out about Nixon's recording devices almost by accident when a witness under oath said something like: "If you don't believe me ... just go and listen to the tapes".

Hopefully, these committees can do their investigations away from the media leading up to the 2024 elections to prevent liberal biased media from providing cover. Then, expose their findings daily/weekly, one after another. Bang! Bang! Bang! Don’t give the enemy time to respond effectively before the next big one hits. Then, maybe the electorate will be persuaded in numbers that will overcome election fraud that the federal government is corrupt and sweeping changes are needed. The hope is that a great President will be elected (re-elected?) who will appoint an Attorney General who will cleanse the Justice Department and Intelligence agencies so that a real inquisition will begin and real justice will be served.

Since the majority of congressional Republicans are pretty wimpy, and the leftist Democrats know that, the old adage “talk is cheap” has to be brought into play on what the Republicans will actually accomplish, so we will have to wait and see what those Republicans will really do. Since the leftist Democrats control the White House, the Department of Justice, and the US Senate, the leftist Democrat could easily get away with simply ignoring whatever investigations that the congressional Republicans actually pursue.

About time. Way past time. I regard the Dims as evil and total traitors. I think that they're actively working to destroy They USA and freedom. I despise them. Why are so much and so many of the American public and media so enamored and slavish adherents of their evil baloney and treason? I don't get it. Why would anyone support someone trying to destroy them and their freedom? I just don't get it. Many of my and your "friends" say that they "don't want to talk politics" Are they willing to talk about our very freedom and survival? Good luck with that one.

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) stumped a Biden judicial nominee by asking her what is said in certain parts of the U.S. Constitution since she is being considered for a federal position.Each of the three questions Kennedy posed, Judge Charnelle Bjelkengren did not have an answer. She is being considered to be the United States District Judge For The Eastern District Of Washington. She has been serving as a judge of the Spokane County Superior Court since 2019.

In the days before George Washington was to set a historic precedent by taking the oath of office and becoming the first president of the United States, he was often heard to say, “I walk on untrodden ground.” The reluctant Washington no doubt understood that, as one Mount Vernon historian wrote, “the precedents he set must make the presidency powerful enough to function effectively in the national government, but at the same time these practices could not show any tendency toward monarchy or dictatorship.” He also understood that how he constructed and conducted this first presidency would set standards and practices for every president to follow.
Biden Document Discovery Doesn’t Add Up 10 replies

Last week, CBS “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan asked Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman why President Biden would dispatch his personal attorney, who didn’t have proper security clearance, to his Delaware home to search for classified documents. Presumably, Brennan believed that when searching for classified documents, one should have the credentials to actually read them. Brennan’s focus on who was reviewing Biden’s papers touched on a potentially interesting line of inquiry. The question hanging in the air, however, relates to the discovery that started this whole process: Why would lawyers be “packing up” Biden’s office

The election security law passed by Republican lawmakers in Georgia and signed into law by the Peach State's GOP Governor Brian Kemp drew some of the most outlandish claims from Democrats who, for some reason, oppose making it harder to cheat and easier to vote in elections. President Biden called the election security law "Jim Crow 2.0" and urged Major League Baseball to yank the All-Star Game from Atlanta, which they did — all based on a lie. Woke corporations signed an open letter and used it to virtue signal their opposition to what they alleged would be racist disenfranchisement of voters in Georgia.

In a 1789 letter to the British philosopher Richard Price, Thomas Jefferson observed that “wherever the people are well informed they can be trusted with their own government.” By that standard, it’s no longer clear that the American electorate is equipped for the task. Jefferson was, of course, an ardent advocate of a free press whose primary function would be to provide the voters with enough information about the government’s actions to assess the soundness of its policies. Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that he would dignify today’s corporate media with the appellation “free press.”

Much of the commentary concerning the presence of classified documents at the Penn Biden Center office and the President’s Delaware home has focused on the delay between the discovery and the public revelation of that discovery. And it is difficult to believe that the timing was apolitical. There is another question about the timing, however, that no one seems to have asked: Why were classified documents that had been in Biden’s possession since 2017 suddenly found less than 90 days after the FBI raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago compound?

When House clerk Cheryl Johnson declared at 12:38 a.m. Saturday morning, “The Honorable Kevin McCarthy of the state of California, having received a majority of the votes cast, is duly elected speaker of the House of Representatives,” a lot of Republicans breathed a sigh of relief.

The Democrats and the Fourth Estate have finally found, in congressman-elect George Santos (R-N.Y.), a Republican who is genuinely guilty of lying to the voters. Having thus discovered themselves — for once — in possession of the moral high ground, they have made the welkin ring with cries of outrage and calls for his resignation. However, if he ignores those calls, it may be difficult to stop him from being seated in the House and even harder to expel him once he takes office.

A federal judge in Florida has refused to throw out criminal charges against Andrew Gillum, disagreeing with the former Democratic gubernatorial nominee’s assertions that he was the victim of selective prosecution because he was a Black candidate for governor. Gillum and a colleague were indicted earlier this year on federal charges including conspiracy, wire fraud and making false statements to FBI agents. Prosecutors said Gillum funneled donations through third parties back to himself for personal use. According to prosecutors, Gillum met with undercover FBI agents posing as developers while he was mayor of Tallahassee and during his campaign for governor. His associates sought donations from the agents, and suggested ways to

Scholz even teased further deliveries of air defence systems, heavy artillery and multiple rocket launchers and says Germany 'intends to expand what we have delivered', a major U-turn on the chancellor's previous reluctance.  Russia branded the move a 'blatant provocation'

Billions of dollars worth of U.S. weapons are on the negotiating table between Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and Afghanistan’s Taliban government, according to at least one insider. Presidentish Joe Biden’s bungled bugout from Afghanistan resulted in a windfall for the new radical Islamic government, including artillery, attack helicopters, and thousands of HUMVEES, machine guns, radios — all left behind as our orderly withdrawal degenerated into a rout. The Department of Defense estimates the total value of the gear Biden left behind at a whopping $7.12 billion, and now Putin is reportedly offering to buy whatever he and the battered Russian Army need.
