I thought that most of the Secret Service was Mormon? I also thought that Biden worked with the Secret Service on a daily basis. I know he probably has worked with foreign operatives but my understanding is that most of them are CCP. It seems like the Chicoms will be mad to learn that Biden is divulging other foreign contacts to the Salvation Army. Maybe Joe was trying to make small talk as a way to reduce his penance.

You wonder if this MSM display of dementia and utter cognitive decline moment might have been a trigger for the classified documents story? The Puppet Show Ring-Master Rice approving the story release to squelch the mutinous Biden family plan to announce a re-election bid?

Reminds me of a Groucho Marx story about when he left a hotel and seeing someone in a uniform assumed he was the hotel employee and asked him to call a cab. Yhe uniformed person indignantly proclaimed, "Sir, I am an Admiral in the United States Navy". Groucho then said, "OK, call me a battleship".

Did the admiral laugh?
Reminds me of a Fluffy (El Comedian) story about getting pulled over by a cop. Fluffy had just bought a box of donuts at Krispy Kreme. Cop: Do you know why I pulled you over, sir? Fluffy: Because you could smell these?
[HotAir] Roughly one month ago, the White House answered one question we’ve been hammering them about for more than a year. Joe Biden drained nearly 200 million barrels of oil out of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in a failed effort to keep gas prices low ahead of the midterm elections. Was he ever planning on replacing that oil? And how much would it cost if he does?
At the time, Biden was saying that he would place the first order for three million barrels of oil for the SPR in February. That doesn’t happen overnight, so they opened up the process to take bids from the oil companies. As you would expect, the oil and gas industry responded, sending in their bids quickly. Those bids were turned over to the Department of Energy (which oversees the SPR), but the process remained under the watchful eye of the White House. This weekend we received our answer. Nobody’s bid was accepted. The DOE rejected all of them. Where we go from here remains a mystery. (Yahoo News)
The U.S. Department of Energy has rejected the first batch of bids from oil companies to resupply a small amount of oil to the nation’s emergency crude oil stockpile in February, according to a DOE spokesperson.
The DOE last month had said it would purchase up to 3 million barrels for delivery to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in February, the first buy since last year’s record 180-million-barrel release to tame U.S. pump prices.
"Following review of the initial submission, DOE will not be making any award selections for the February delivery window," the spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
The DOE did not release the actual bids for the media to review, so we’re just taking them at their word here. (I know...) But an Energy Department spokesperson released a statement saying that the government will only accept bids "that meet the required crude specifications and that are at a price that is a good deal for taxpayers." In other words the oil companies will lose money if they sell at a price lower than what it costs. More at the link

It might have been cheaper, had the Keystone Pipeline been built. As it is, this is all part of "The Plan".

Gas powered vehicles, appliances/tools, heating will be banned entirely within 15 yrs. The pipeline is irrelevant - like it or not.

Gas powered vehicles does not include ships unless we are going sailing, reverting to coal or are projecting nuclear tug boats. The gas ban will fail due to reality. Oil will remain relevant for the foreseeable future. As for holding all the dumb politicians accountable, I think they will weasel out of their failure after a bunch of innocent third world people starve. They will likely just move on to new dumbness.

"Mrs. No-supper-for-you from Norwood in Lancashire..."
[TheHill] House Republicans on Monday adopted a rules package that will govern how the chamber operates for the next two years in a closely watched vote that came on the heels of last week’s drawn-out Speaker fight.
The vote was the first legislative battle for newly elected Speaker Kevin McCarthy ...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's... (R-Calif.) and his House Republican conference.

Propaganda is so easy to spot when you know how. It's deliberately loaded language designed to elicit an emotional reaction. The same method is used to silence critics of the Biden crime family's corruption in Ukraine, up to and including pointing out Nazi collaboration.

At this point it looks like the holdouts have won. I suspected such when I saw the one dude have to be choked out to keep him off of Gaetz. The pressure of all the Uniparty will be on McCarthy to resist, neutralize and end all of the investigations. He seems ill-suited to the position that he wanted so badly. There is evidence that Gaetz is much smarter than McCarthy. They both need to hire food tasters.

Gaetz is vastly smarter and more cunning than McCarthy!
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Pfizer donated $1 million to the Kentucky Republican Party in 2021 in what is being called the highest donation to a political party in state history.
The donation will be used to expand the Frankfort Mitch McConnell Building in the state capital.
The donation seems like a perfect fit.
Mitch McConnell has been a staunch supporter of the COVID vaccine and COVID legislation.
