What’s the penalty for contempt of Congress because I freely confess that I am and have been for years? As for my defense, I submit that Congress is clearly a contemptible body and has been in contempt of itself for years.

Read the column to be found elsewhere at Lucianne.com in which Mollie Hemenway points out that the Select Committee has NO appointees made by the Republican minority in the House. Pelosi excluded Jim Jordan and another Republican appointed by the Republican Party and named Cheney and Kinzinger as "Republicans". The Select Committee may have absolutely NO legal authority to subpoena anyone and may have no authority to hold in contempt those who choose not to testify before the phony committee.

Thank you, #5, for mentioning the obvious when it come to refusing to testify. Remind me, what happened to Holder? This committee was formed by Nasty Nan for one purpose, to prevent Donald John Trump from running for President in 2024. She said as much. This old witch will do anything to achieve that goal. I hope everyone who gets a subpoena, ignores it. Eric the Red set a precedent, so they should follow his lead.

I think everyone who is subpoenaed should go! Then they should simply take a page from Hillary's Play Book and respond to questions with "I can't remember", "I don't recall" and "I have no memory of that"! Then lets move on!

I think he should go and at every point when asked a question just go to the points of what actually happened and ignore what they are asking. Just use that time to ask why no one from the Proud Boys bunch that was promoted to be the cause of this before J6 has even been questioned. What is Nancy Pelosi's role in this? Why did the Capitol police just open the door and let people in? How many FBI agents were embedded in the protest? Put this thing right back in their face.

Go in with a squad of lawyers and a squad of armed bodyguards. Answer nothing! Make them talk to your lawyers. Answer them in writing after lawyer approval. If the committee gets 'out of hand', have your bodyguards escort you out of the room.

Democrat-allied experts have begun to turn on the Biden administration’s shaky coronavirus response, dubbing it a “credibility crisis” and “the butt of jokes.” While then-candidate Biden promised over ten times in 2020 to shut the virus down, the omicron variant has reportedly continued to set records, threatening Biden’s credibility. (Tweet) “The administration in general has lost the confidence of people who would be their natural supporters,” Biden administration advisory board member Celine Gounder told Axios, speaking about the rise of omicron and the ensuing infighting between the White House and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).Former CDC Director Tom Frieden also told Axios the Biden administration’s wavering health guidelines

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy laid out for Breitbart News in an exclusive long-form video interview the core of the GOP message and strategy heading into the 2022 midterm elections, which will determine which party controls Congress ahead of the 2024 presidential election.McCarthy’s “Commitment to America,” which he previewed in the latest On The Hill video special taped in December at an Eastern Market establishment on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, is what he framed up as the contrast with Democrat policies that have harmed America over the past year since President Joe Biden and his Democrats took complete control in Washington last January.

'There's only a five-seat majority for the Democrats, the lowest it's been in a hundred years,' McCarthy told Fox host Maria Bartiromo. 'That number 25 is a very big number for Democrat retirements. In 2010 when we won the majority, 17 Democrats retired. Already 25 -- I expect that number to be up to over 30 Democrat retirements, because they see what the future holds, and they see the numbers.'

WAC 246-100-040, a proposed revision to include Covid protocol under the state’s Communicable and Certain Other Diseases act, outlines “Procedures for isolation or quarantine.” The measure would allow local health officers “at his or her sole discretion” to “issue an emergency detention order causing a person or group of persons to be immediately detained for purposes of isolation or quarantine.”
There’s A Reason No One Likes Kamala Harris 38 replies

Most people look at the choice of Kamala Harris for Vice President and scratch their head. “Why would anyone pick a person so wildly devoid of political talent or even the basics of likability?” they wonder. The conventional wisdom is that she checked the right number of boxes to fulfill left-wing interest group demands, which is partially true, of course. Overlooked, however, is how there is one more, rather good and important reason Joe Biden, or really any politician, would pick someone like Harris: because by comparison, you’ll always look better. Harris is such a singularly grating personality that she polls lower than lemon juice on an open wound.

Texas scientists rolled out a new COVID-19 vaccine, saying it’s patent-free and can be produced by any manufacturer in any country. The vaccine, called Corbevax, was developed by the Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine. It has successfully passed human trials as safe and effective. The new treatment is based off protein-based technology that has been used in other vaccines for decades and it does not use MRNA. India has already authorized production of 100 million doses per month of the new vaccine. Meanwhile, Texas scientists say not-for-profit vaccines will help defeat COVID-19 quicker.

Dana Finley Morrison, a Missouri-based fraternity and sorority worker, was flying from St Lucia to Miami on Saturday when she spotted the pilot's 'Let's Go Brandon' sticker. The slogan began to circulate in September, when a Nascar reporter misheard the chants of 'F*** Joe Biden', and it has since become an anti-Biden rallying cry.
