AOC: $174,000 Congressional Salary Difficult
on ‘Working and Middle Class’ Lawmakers
Posted By: Imright, 6/23/2022 6:29:59 PM
The $174,000 congressional salary is difficult on “working and middle class” lawmakers, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) asserted this week on Instagram. “Only 10 women in the history of the United States have ever given birth while serving in Congress. 10,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a story posted to her Instagram, referring to the U.S. House of Representatives as a “hostile place to have a baby,” as vote schedules “pretty much” assume that no one has a family, as they change often and require frequent travel. Not only that, Ocasio-Cortez complained, but there are thousands of dollars worth of out-of-pocket expenses.

The explosive testimony delivered Tuesday by former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson has driven a rift through alumni of former President Donald Trump's team.
Hutchinson, who served as an aide to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, outlined to the Jan. 6 select committee a pattern of concerning, erratic behavior by Trump and some of his closest advisers on and in the lead-up to the day of the Capitol riot.
The Washington Examiner spoke to more than a dozen former Trump administration staffers, including a number who were still serving in the White House on Jan. 6,

The select committee on the events of January 6, 2021 was already plagued by disinterest and perceptions of illegitimacy before star witness Cassidy Hutchinson’s account on what went down in the presidential limo was rebutted by the Secret Service, blowing a smoking hole in its credibility and sending Democrats into damage control mode.
On Wednesday, Rep. Jamie Raskin who like several other committee members is a veteran of the failed impeachments of President Donald J. Trump sought to put out the fire after Hutchinson’s claims – that the ex-POTUS went berserk, lunged for the wheel of the SUV he was traveling in and attempted
West Virginia lawmaker Derrick Evans was sentenced to 90 days in prison for walking into the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 and fist-bumping a police officer at the door who let him in.
Miller filmed himself in the building, did not commit any violence and left the building without causing any damage.
Here are the original charges against him: Knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority(1) violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol Grounds. (2)
It was the gasp heard round the world. "They could run Michelle Obama, and if they do ..." said Monica Crowley before the CPAC 2022 audience reeled audibly in shocked recognition, cutting her off in mid-sentence. Crowley had seen an early screener of my upcoming film and book of the same name, Michelle Obama 2024: Her Real Life Story and Plan for Power, which will be released on July 11. Crowley was not trying to make waves at CPAC. She was trying to send a warning.

A beaming Joe Biden told British Prime Minister Boris Johnson about his night out with his granddaughters as he arrived for the final day of the NATO summit in Madrid on Thursday.
Biden was joined by Maisy, 21, and Finnegan Biden, 22, for dinner the night before at the Prado Museum where they met Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and his wife Begona Gomez.
The leaders swapped notes on their evenings and sounded as if they had chafed at security restrictions on their time in Spanish capital.

removed from Cornell library after ‘complaint’: professor 7 replies
A bust of President Abraham Lincoln and a plaque of the Gettysburg Address have been removed from a Cornell University library.
“Someone complained, and it was gone,” Cornell biology professor Randy Wayne told the College Fix of the matter.
The bust of Lincoln and the bronzed plaque of the former president’s historic 1863 address had been in the Kroch Library, where the university’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections is located, since 2013.
Wayne said that he noticed the display was missing a few weeks ago and asked librarians what happened.
A young mother pushing her 3-month-old baby in a stroller was fatally shot Wednesday night on an Upper East Side street, law enforcement sources said.

The debunked Cassidy Hutchinson testimony, spun before the partisan January 6 Committee on Tuesday, continued to be peddled by CNN on Wednesday as “a bombshell” revelation.
Aides to former President Donald Trump were left speechless amid the first half of Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony on Tuesday, acknowledging to CNN that her testimony was ‘a bombshell’ with potentially huge repercussions for Trump,” Gabby Orr and Pamela Brown reported for CNN.
But the credibility of Hutchinson’s testimony imploded just hours after the lead Secret Service agent in charge of former President Trump’s security detail offered to contradict Hutchinson’s testimony under oath.
Steve Bannon claims that the 'media blitz' created by the January 6 select committee hearings are grounds for his contempt of Congress trial to be delayed.
The request to reschedule the trial for after October 15, 2022 was filed Wednesday and claims at this time it would be 'impossible to guarantee' fair proceedings during the public January 6 hearings.
'It would be impossible to guarantee Mr. Bannon a fair trial in the middle of much-publicized Select Committee hearings which purport to broadcast investigative 'findings' on topics that are referenced in the Indictment,' the filing states
An overwhelming and growing majority of Americans say the U.S. is heading in the wrong direction, including nearly 8 in 10 Democrats, according to yet another dire new poll for President Joe Biden.
Despite grappling with low favorability ratings for much of his first term already, Biden's popularity experienced a deep downturn in recent months amid growing pessimism over the economy.
Eighty-five percent of U.S. adults say the country is on the wrong track, and 79 percent describe the economy as poor, according to a new survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Mayor Eric Adams has urged Staten Island DA Mike McMahon to consider prosecuting ex-Mayor Rudy Giuliani for allegedly filing a false police report, to which Giuliani responded by calling for Adams to quit over the city’s crime crisis.
“[Giuliani] falsely reported a crime and the DA should take that seriously,” Hizzoner said during an appearance on the “The Daily Show” Tuesday night, where he both mocked and scorned Giuliani in the ongoing spat between the two.
“You don’t realize. You just assaulted me,” Adams deadpanned after host Trevor Noah embraced him upon entrance —
The on-its-face ludicrous (more on this below) tale of former President Trump lunging at a steering wheel and assaulting a Secret Service agent remains on Fox News without an update about its debunking.
If Fox tries to sneak in and stealth-edit it, here’s a saved screenshot from late last night, hours and hours after the story was shown to be false.
So what we have here is Fox News continuing to spread an OBVIOUS hoax even AFTER it’s been debunked.
Fox is deliberately endorsing a blatant lie that was glaringly false from the moment it was spoken…

Trump proven unfit for power again
66 replies
Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s Tuesday testimony ought to ring the death knell for former President Donald Trump’s political career. Trump is unfit to be anywhere near power ever again.
Hutchinson’s resume alone should establish her credibility. The 25-year-old had already worked at the highest levels of conservative Republican politics, including in the offices of Sen. Ted Cruz (TX) and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (LA), before becoming a top aide for former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows.
Meghan Markle has urged men to be 'more vocal' with their anger at the repealing of Roe v. Wade, as she revealed that Prince Harry's response to the news on Friday was 'guttural'.
The Duchess of Sussex, 40, spoke to Vogue magazine in conversation with author and activist Gloria Steinem, 88, and journalist Jessica Yellin.
Steinem declared the day after Friday's ruling that she would welcome women traveling to New York for an abortion into her own Manhattan home.
She said that her husband was a feminist, and he reacted with anger to the Supreme Court's decision.
Two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton may campaign for president in 2024 if President Joe Biden decides not to run, CNN’s editor-at-large Chris Cillizza wrote on Tuesday.
Citing Friday’s Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, Cillizza claimed that there were “whispers” that Clinton would make a third attempt to secure the Democrat nomination, adding that another White House run “would be something that would be hard for Clinton to not at least look at” if Biden were to decline to run again.
The testimony of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson regarding former President Donald Trump on Jan. 6 is at best questionable, but proponents of the narrative are so desperate for it to ring true that they will risk any remaining shred of credibility they have left to defend it and their fellow service members on the frontlines of corporate media hackery.
Cue Geraldo Rivera.
The co-host from Fox News’ “The Five” knows that, as yet, there have been no reported confirmations that any of the claims made by Hutchinson, the aide to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, are true.
ROME — Catholic League president Bill Donohue slammed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Wednesday for politicizing the Eucharist by receiving Communion at the Vatican.
Pelosi, “who rejects the Catholic Church’s teachings on abortion, marriage and sexuality, received Holy Communion on June 29 at a papal Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica,” Dr. Donohue noted. “The pope was in attendance, but did not give out Communion.”
“Pelosi’s stunt was done to undercut her bishop, San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone: he has told her not to present herself for Communion, citing her lust for abortion rights,” Donohue added.

On Thursday, June 23, the Supreme Court released the Bruen decision which settles the pitched battle over whether the Second Amendment assures the God-given right to self-defense by being able to conceal and carry a gun most everywhere but “sensitive areas.”
On Friday, June 24, Rob Bonta, the attorney general of California, one of five entities whose “may issue” or “right of good cause” tests for carrying a gun were found unconstitutional, told law enforcement that its laws were no longer valid.
On Monday, June 27, Bonta’s department leaked the names, home addresses, phone numbers, race, and other personal information of every single concealed carry gun licensee in the state.

West Hollywood has voted to slash law enforcement funding, leaving the California city famous for its bustling Sunset Strip nightlife destination with up to five fewer deputies on patrol—despite skyrocketing crime rates in the area. The council passed the budget with a 3-2 vote Monday, with Mayor Lauren Meister and Councilman John Erickson voting against it, reported WeHoville.com. Meanwhile, the West Hollywood City Council approved keeping bars open until 4 a.m. and increased funding for a Russian arts festival. The vote came just three months after the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department reported that crime in West Hollywood jumped a startling 137 percent in February 2022
After completely bending the knee to woke ideology and gutting itself with unconstitutional mandates that forced an experimental and dangerous vaccine, the US Military is taking the hacksaw to the standards that are used to find and train new recruits as the Armed Forces struggle through what some officials are calling the “most challenging recruiting year ever.”
In addition to lowering almost every single physical qualification for new recruits to pass their initial training, the US Army has now dropped its requirement that recruits must have a high school diploma or a G.E.D. degree
Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) is giving its turnaround CEO the boot after delivering anything but a turnaround. The struggling retailer said Wednesday CEO Mark Tritton is leaving the company and the board, effective immediately. Board member and retail veteran Sue Gove is taking over the retailer on an interim basis. (Snip) Bed Bath saw same-store sales crash 27% at its namesake brand as shoppers pulled back on discretionary purchases while also shunning a more upscale push with fewer coupons at the company. Adjusted operating profits came in at a loss $224 million. The company ended the quarter with a
