[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Sen. Adam Schiff >...Showboating U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff has served in Congress since 2001. He currently serves as the chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In a manner reminiscent of Joe McCarthy, on March 22, 2017, in a interview with Chuck Todd on MSNBC Schiff claimed there was “more than circumstantial evidence now” that Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia." Todd followed up by asking if he had seen direct evidence of collusion and Schiff responded that there was "evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation"...> (D-CA) dismissed the need of getting a preemptive pardon from outgoing President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created... by the — you know — you know, the thing... , warning that these types of pardons would set a concerning ''precedent.''
Schiff's comments come after Biden granted a sweeping pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, and commuted roughly 1,500 sentences, the most ever offered within a single day. When the incoming senator was asked about why he did not want a preemptive pardon for his role on the Jan. 6 committee, Schiff explained that his preference comes from ''a couple reasons,'' among which he is ''very proud'' of his work on the committee.
''So I think it's unnecessary,'' Schiff said on ABC News's This Week. ''But second, the precedent of giving blanket pardons, preemptive blanket pardons, on the way out of an administration, I think is a precedent we don't want to set.''

It will sort of undercut Schiff’s argument, if he’s pardoned.

[TOWNHALL] Just three ''squad'' members showed up to the farewells of ousted members who lost their Democratic primaries this year, Reps. Jamaal Firebug Bowman ...sleazy Dem politician and educator, former U.S. representative for New York's safe 16th congressional district since 2021. On September 30, 2023, while House Dems were desperately attempting to delay a vote that avoided shutting the government down so they could blame it on the Pubs, Bowman pulled a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building, causing the building to be evacuated. Bowman told reporters he thought it was a doorknob or something. Capitol Police released a statement saying they were investigating the fire alarm incident, and maybe a few rubes somewhere expected something to come of it. Republicans introduced a motion to expel Bowman from the House but that evaporated too. Bowman issued a statement saying they were Nazis. Bowman is a member of The Squad, a faction of like-minded subversives... (D-NY) and Cori Bush ...politician, nurse, pastor, and Black Lives Matter activist formerly serving as the U.S. representative for Missouri's 1st congressional district, since 2021, and probably all years after that until she dies. The district includes all of the city of St. Louis and most of northern St. Louis County. There are few normal people to be found there. Soon after being sworn in, Bush joined The Squad, a group of Socialist Dem lawmakers intent on wrecking the country. She posted a photo on Twitter of herself, the four original Squad members, and another new member, Jamaal Fire Alarm Bowman, with the caption "Squad up."... (D-MO). The two Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... delivered their outgoing speeches to an empty congressional floor with only fellow squad members Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore (D-NY), and Rashida Tlaib ...the very first ever Paleostinian-American ever sworn into Congress in 2019. She is a member of The Squad and consistently votes against the U.S. national interest. She's a Dem, naturally, from a safe district you wouldn't want to live in (Michigan's 12th congressional district). She wants the country to be kinda like Gaza only without any Jews for neighbors... (D-MI) being present.
Bowman's progressive stance on issues is said to be the culprit for his devastating loss. The person who pulled the fire alarm to stall a vote earlier this year has become so unpopular that AOC canceled an appearance she had planned with him on Elected Day. Bowman was also criticized for referring to Israel's war against Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... as a ''genocide'' against Paleostinians.
In the case of Bush, she was the victim of her own self-inflicted wounds. According to GovTrack, Bush ranks as one of Missouri's least effective Congress members, with only a few of her bills advancing out of committee. During her time in office, the Department of Justice quietly launched an investigation into her bodyguard, questioning whether he provided any legitimate work despite receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars from her official office. Bush also committed several notable blunders, including confusing Memorial Day with Veterans Day in a social media post, struggling to understand the tax code during inquiries, and voicing unsolicited opinions on racial issues related to specific criminal cases.

We are not getting what we voted for!!! People told us that if Trump got elected that they would leave this Country. This is what we voted for, why are they still here?? Time is ticking—GET ON THE PLANE ALREADY! 🔥
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] A House Republican is set to revive efforts to repeal Washington's Home Rule and return the district to congressional control for all local legislation.
Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) is planning to introduce legislation next year that would undo Washington's local autonomy, instead requiring every local law to be approved by Congress before it can be enacted. Clyde has previously attempted to repeal the D.C.'s Home Rule but those efforts have largely been unsuccessful due to Democratic opposition in the Senate and White House.
But now, with a GOP trifecta heading into the new year, Clyde is looking to try again.
''When home rule was created in 1973, it was: 'OK, whatever the city passes is approved and Congress has a limited amount of time to disapprove it,''' Clyde told the Daily Caller. ''That's backwards.''
Although Washington is not a state nor part of one, the district is allowed to operate as an independent local government through the D.C. Home Rule Act, which was enacted in 1973 to give it some control over its own legislative affairs. The only caveat is that all laws are subject to congressional approval before being enacted, giving members of Congress outsize influence over the 68-square-mile jurisdiction.
That caveat was seen in action last year when Clyde introduced a bill to overturn the district's revised criminal code that was passed by the D.C. Council. The revised code sought to clarify the district's crime laws and, in some cases, reduce the penalties for violent mostly peaceful crimes such as carjackings and homicide.
That bill ended up passing the House and Senate with bipartisan support, and President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. This Is A Man That Does Not Seem Demented... signed it into law — marking the first time in 30 years that Congress has repealed a district law passed by the D.C. Council.
But in most cases, Congress chooses not to vote on bills passed by the local government. If politicians abstain from doing so, local laws will take effect automatically after 30 days.
However,
ars longa, vita brevis... Clyde wants to change that to have every piece of legislation subject to congressional approval.
''The way it should have been is whatever the city approves, Congress must approve that and it is not approved until Congress approves it. And if Congress does not approve it, then it is disapproved,'' Clyde told the outlet. ''It's not approved and Congress has a limited time to disapprove it. It is not approved until Congress approves it because that's the way the Constitution is written.''

At least you'd be able to deal with restaurants that refuse service to Republicans.
[NYPOST] Retiring Sen. Willard Mitt Romney, aka Pierre Delecto ...former governor of Massachussetts, the Publican nominee for president in 2012, now Senator from Utah. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals. He is currently a trans Republican and a member in good standing of the Never Trump Party, attempting to assume the mantle of the late John McCain...> is eviscerating Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... for hemorrhaging its working-class base and faulted staunch progressives and ''woke scolds'' for the exodus.
The outgoing Utah senator credited President-elect Donald Trump ...The Hero of Butler, Pennsylvania... for remaking the GOP into the party of the working class and predicted that both parties are heading for a recalibration of their policies.
''Democrats pushed them out,'' Romney, 77, told CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... 's ''State of the Union'' on Sunday.
''The Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around... -Elizabeth Being Native American has been part of my story since the day I was born Warren ...The Great White Squaw, Lizzie is the Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts. She traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. She has high cheekbones that stretch all the way to the top of her head. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless... faction of the Democratic Party, with some of this defund the police — and biological males in women's sports — these things had a lot of people in the working class just flee the Democrat Party.''
Not just the working class. A lot of new Republican voters look like JD Vance and Elon Musk.
Last month, Trump, 78, became the first Republican to win the popular vote for the presidency in two decades. The president-elect also notched the most robust support from minority voters of a Republican in decades.
Many in the party's progressive wing have faulted the Dems for shifting more to the center in the 2024 cycle
…the Democrats most definitely did not shift toward the center. They just cosplayed shifting to the center, but the lack of sincerity was blatant...
and for not nominating populist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as the standard bearer in 2016.
It certainly would have been a more honest expression of the party‘s path, but I suspect Donald Trump still would have beaten the Stalinist from Vermont.
''One of the challenges in my party is that our policies do not necessarily line up with the interests of our voters. And so there'll be some reorientation,'' Romney said of the GOP.
''The Democrat Party's the one in trouble. I mean, I don't know how they recover,'' he went on. ''They've lost their base — union guys and gals have left
…also significant numbers of Black men, Hispanics, some 65% of Native Americans, successful tech entrepreneurs — including the Jewish ones, etc…
— the Democratic Party is seen not as rich people but as college professors and woke scolds.''

Mitt speaks from a position of experience…. He chased those same voters away from Tea Party GOP in an effort to save the establishment GOP.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

Van Jone is incredibly smart. I don't agree with his politics, but he is not dumb. The chump in the upper left lives in an echo chamber, and a fool. Van Jones saw this Trump movement heading this way a year ago, he kept bringing it up and the media discounted him. I watched him all year, following the same advice P2K just gave, and he is impressive.

President Trump like those who change their minds about him. Perhaps he’ll pick up Mr. Jones
#5
Jones will at least survive the purge of bozos that were just telling people what they wanted to hear. Carville was also interesting to watch. Sometimes Cajun Skellator was calling objective truth and pulling the fire alarm, figuratively not like Bowman. When it was close to the election he was saying optimistic things that he didn’t believe in hopes of not sue pressing the vote.
