[JustTheNews] Steve Garvey, 10-time MLB all-star first baseman and four-time Gold Glove winner, is slugging it out with Rep. Adam Schiff.
Rep. Adam Schiff’s past effort to fan the Russia collusion tale is boomeranging as he now seeks the vacant U.S.Senate seat in California.
Former MLB star Steve Garvey, now a GOP candidate, accused Schiff, D-Calif., of lying to the public on the debate stage this week, prompting Schiff to claim he was censured for "standing up to a corrupt President."
Garvey and Schiff are among the candidates in the race for the Senate seat held by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
In the California primary election, the two candidates who receive the most votes head to the general election for a head-to-head match-up in November. A recent poll released by Emerson College found 25% of respondents said they would vote for Schiff and Garvey was in second place with 18%.
"I called out Adam Schiff for being censured for lying to 300 million Americans. His response: 'I would do it all over again,'" Garvey wrote Thursday on X. Schiff was censured in a resolution stating that Schiff held positions of power during Trump’s presidency and “abused this trust by saying there was evidence of collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia.” There was no such evidence.
Schiff had drawn attention to himself throwing the "Russian collusion" narrative at anyone who opposed him. At one point, he accused on live television then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson of "being a Russian agent" and said to Carlson, according to New York Magazine, “You’re carrying water for the Kremlin!”
Schiff ignored the question of throwing the "Russian agent" allegations around, and instead deflected with comments arguing that Garvey supports allowing states to ban abortion.
During the candidate debate, Garvey said to Schiff, "Sir, you lied to 300 million people. You can't take that back." Schiff shot back, "I was censured for standing up to a corrupt president and you know something? I would do it all over again."
After the exchange, Garvey said when elected officials "talk down to us" they're "essentially misleading us."
Garvey also said the American people "understand what's real and unreal."
The censure resolution that passed the GOP-led House charged Schiff with abusing the trust of the American public when he was chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
According to the resolution, Schiff falsely claimed that "evidence of collusion that, as is clear from reports by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, and Special Counsel Durham, never existed." The resolution also noted that on September 26, 2019, Schiff "misled the public by reading a false retelling of a phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky."
Schiff became notorious as one of the loudest proponents vouching for the now widely-discredited "Steele Dossier." Even after the infamous dossier was proven to be false, Schiff stuck by it, telling NBC's Chuck Todd that “Steele did reveal that the Russians were trying to help elect Donald Trump."
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy removed Schiff from the Intelligence Committee in January 2023. The resolution passed the House in June.
In a separate exchange, Rep. Katie Porter, D-Calif., another candidate for the open Senate seat, argued that earmarks "invite corruption."
Schiff defended earmarks, saying Feinstein brought back billions for California from Washington and he would do the same.
Porter shot back: "Incorrect, the earmarks process actually shortchanges California. The data show that diverse districts and diverse states actually get half as much money. We only get two senators, which means every state gets two sets of earmarks."

I would do it all over again.
Yeah. That's kinda the problem, isn't it? But I'm afraid all Schiff has to do is say "abortion" and he wins. Hope I'm wrong. Maybe Garvey has enough name recognition and can expose Schiff for the liar that he is.

[Twitchy] The link shows parts of a speech by Representative Omar. The speech is in Somali (there are English subtitles). She called for genocide of non Somalis (e.g. Ethiopian, Kenyan) groups in Somalia. Calls for war against Somaliland. Lots of other vile and crazy stuff.
As is their habit, Twitchy has a nice collection of tweets on the subject with framing commentary, well worth perusing. Interestingly, there is nothing about this in our usual Somali news sources. Perhaps they are too appalled to write about it. Or perhaps they are just slower off the mark — Red State provides additional discussion and the response of a Somaliland ambassadress:
We were profoundly surprised, even shocked on discovering the remarks made by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D) of Minnesota in a recent public forum, widely circulated on most social media platforms and attached below for your reference.

Ilhan Omar — ‘I am in Congress to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the U.S. system.’
Having open and freely stated as such, she has violated her OATH OF OFFICE.
"“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”"
18 U.S.C. 1918:
“Whoever violates the provisions of section 7311 of title 5 that an individual may not accept or hold a position in the Government of the United States or the government of the District of Columbia if he (1) advocates the overthrow of our constitutional form of government [and] shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year and a day or both.”

I am really sort of surprised the left hasn't made a harder push to eliminate any oath to anything except your chosen tribe, non-Christian religion or "gender."

@Rex - they trolled us with that somali looking new flag design. But the next day or so, they announced the winner and it was not the somali looking one.
[GP] The legal team of former President Donald Trump is set to challenge the ridiculous $83.3 million jury verdict in the defamation case brought by nutcase E. Jean Carroll.
The basis of their appeal, as revealed to The New York Post, hinges on an alleged "conflict of interest" involving Manhattan federal Judge Lewis Kaplan and Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan.
Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, expressed shock upon learning that both Judge Kaplan and Roberta Kaplan, who are not related, previously worked together at the same prestigious law firm in the early 1990s.
This connection was uncovered by The Post columnist Charles Gasparino, following a tip that Judge Kaplan was once a mentor to Roberta Kaplan.
According to The Post, Judge Kaplan and Roberta Kaplan were employed at Paul, Weiss, Rifkin, Wharton & Garrison in the early 1990s.
Judge Kaplan served as a partner until his appointment to the federal bench in 1994, while Roberta Kaplan worked there until 2016 before founding her own firm, Kaplan Hecker & Fink.

Btw: How different Sex based lawsuits has this women filed over her lifespans?... I read of 4 others beside Trump so far. Dating back teen years even.

We seen this movie: (alleged) victim files ridiculous lawsuit and wins ridiculously large sum as jury "sends a message" to the disfavored party.
On appeal, suit is either tossed for being stupid or penalty is reduced to actual damages.
In the meantime, the process is the punishment + "Evil Person, who is charged with umpteen felonies.." headlines.

I like the way the state of New York went back and changed the reporting requirements of the crime, ex port facto, because her complaint was out of statute of limitations.

[Hot Air] Two articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas were released by House Republicans on Sunday.
Republicans said they will quickly move forward to try to oust Mayorkas from office. Mayorkas faces impeachment due to his failure to manage the southern border. Democrats claim it is an election year stunt, politically motivated as House Republicans have no constitutional basis to remove him.
Republicans contend Mayorkas is guilty of "high crimes and misdemeanors" that amount to a "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" on immigration and a "breach of the public trust." Impeachment, they say, is "Congress’s only viable option."
"Alejandro N. Mayorkas willfully and systemically refused to comply with the immigration laws, failed to control the border to the detriment of national security, compromised public safety, and violated the rule of law and separation of powers in the Constitution, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States," the impeachment resolution says.
When House Republicans took control of the House in 2023, a top agenda item was to hold Mayorkas responsible for the chaos on the southern border. Granted, he is doing the bidding of Joe Biden but Mayorkas has continually lied to Congress. He claims that the border is not open and it is secure. He has not enforced existing immigration laws. He has turned Border Patrol agents along the southern border into paper pushers instead of letting them do their job.
[Breitbart] Friday, during an appearance on Fox News Channel, Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) reacted to the dispute over handling the U.S.-Mexico border between Texas and the Biden administration.
Noem told FNC host Trace Gallagher she sided with Texas and that the Biden administration was trying to remake the United States.
"We need leadership," Noem said. "Leadership has consequences. So Congress could, but if you have a president that ignores federal law, no law that Congress passes will be effective then. You have to have a president in the White House that respects federal law and respects immigration law and wants law and order. What Joe Biden is doing is fundamentally remaking America. If you want to see what America will look like in another year, another two years of Joe Biden’s administration, look to Europe. Look at what’s happened there and the devastation that they’re enduring."
"It will never be the same," he continued. "And my question is, is, if we don’t stand now, if we don’t defend our border and protect our country right now where will we go? If we allow them to remake America, what other country is better? Why not stand here and protect and defend this country right now and fix what is broken? And what’s broken right now is Joe Biden."
