Washington Post reporter Carol Leonnig said Monday that the Biden White House "looks like its hiding something" because news of the classified documents was made public months after the initial discovery ."In the Biden White House and even among Biden’s personal lawyers there is no concern that the President of the United States has any criminal or legal liability here, no concern. Now we don’t know all the facts and we have to be careful about that, but that’s what I’m hearing from sources. There is a concern, however, with how this is drip, drip, dripping out of the White House and makes the Biden White House look like its

With each gallon of gas pumped in the United States since 1932, drivers have been paying taxes. The revenue is used for road repairs and public transportation such as train and bus systems.
Currently, the Fed takes 18.4 cents per gallon for gas or 24.4 cents per gallon for diesel. State gas taxes range from a national high of 61 cents for gas in Pennsylvania, to a low of 8.95 cents in Alaska.
But environmentally motivated improvements in fuel efficiency and the move to electric vehicles (EVs) translate to less gas sold, resulting less tax revenue collected.
State and federal governments are looking for a new way to fund transportation.

Communication, discussion and step-by-step outlining is a very time-consuming enterprise. (snip) no one is more cynical than I, and yet there is reason to be cautiously optimistic. As previously noted, the 118th Congress is expected to authorize a “Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.” The subcommittee will fall under the jurisdiction of the House Judiciary Committee led by Chairman Jim Jordan. Additionally, Thomas Massie (R-KY) is being reported as a representative under consideration for the chairmanship the House subcommittee.
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and potential House subcommittee Chair Thomas Massie should have a grasp of the scale and scope of

What if it had been a VW Bug? (snip) “My Corvette is in there. The garage door has a lock on it.”

It’s been amusing to absorb the commentary on this latest Top-Secret-Special-Compartmentalized-Nuclear-Coded-Eyes-Only fiasco. “Some of our country’s most sensitive 411,” blah, blah, blah. It was CBS News that first broke the story of Joe and his adventures with classified docs that he shouldn’t have had in his possession. Just last week the world discovered that the Washington office of the “Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement” [!], a Chinese-funded “dark-money nightmare,” had a cache of secret stuff.

Former Obama senior advisor David Axelrod sees President Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents as “a huge gift to Trump.”
The classified documents bungle occurred before Biden’s widely anticipated re-election bid announcement, possibly in early February after the State of the Union address. Former President Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential race last year.
Axelrod in comments to Reuters said that the latest developments were an “embarrassment” because Biden criticized Trump after the FBI raided his predecessor’s Florida residence for classified government documents last August.

There are no logs of who has visited President Joe Biden’s house in Delaware where classified documents were found, according to the White House.
“Like every President in decades of modern history, his personal residence is personal,” White House spokesman Ian Sams said in a statement to news outlets.
The U.S. Secret Services, which provides security for the president, does not keep logs for any facility—including private residences—according to Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for the agency.

Now the Biden administration wants to keep a lid on things.
Members of the White House press corps took turns ripping President Biden Thursday for not being transparent about the discovery of classified documents at his home and former office — with Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asking point-blank: “What is the White House trying to hide?”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly claimed during her regular briefing that Biden had been “transparent” about his handling of classified documents, despite the fact that significant details were initially concealed while others remain unknown.

Even some kin of Coretta Scott King hate the new $10 million sculpture just dedicated to her and her iconic civil-rights-leader husband in Boston — with a cousin claiming it “looks like a penis.”
The massive bronze piece, titled “The Embrace,” features two sets of arms holding each other, an artistic interpretation of the classic photo of Coretta and hubby Martin Luther King Jr. hugging (snip)
“The mainstream media … was reporting on it like it was all beautiful, ’cause they were told they had to say that,” Seneca Scott, Coretta’s cousin,(snip)
“But then when it came out, a little boy pointed out — ‘That’s a penis!’

After the midterms, the opposition party took over the House intent on bringing down the president.
The press rejoiced.
You could almost see the foaming of the mouth of Greg Sargent of the Washington Post as he wrote, on January 14, 2019, "Two new blockbuster scoops about President Donald Trump’s relations with Russia(snip)Now eggs are $8 a dozen at Piggly Wiggly and Putin's invaded Ukraine. Republicans control the House and they are ready to look at Hunter's laptop and into Biden's presidency.

America’s infatuation with Ukraine and Zelensky (the Cocaine Comedian) is starting to wane, but most politicians and the public continue to believe the lie that Ukraine is an innocent country being bludgeoned by a communist Russia ruled by a dictator. Oh yeah. Don’t forget. Russia is suffering massive military and economic losses and just can’t live without U.S. investment and Europe’s technology. It is all nonsense, but if you are living in the United States and try to have a reasoned discussion with the fan boys and girls cheering for Ukraine, you would find more success talking to a brick wall.
But cracks are starting to show.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers is making a new push to ban members of Congress from private stock trading.
It's an attempt to "demonstrate that lawmakers are focused on serving the interests of the American people -- not their own stock portfolios," Rep. Abigail Spanberger, a Virginia Democrat, said in reintroducing the measure along with Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy.
After failing to get a floor vote when last introduced in 2021, the "TRUST (Transparent Representation Upholding Service and Trust) in Congress Act," gained increasing support across the political spectrum in 2022 with 75 cosponsors, and its backers say that the number will grow even larger this time around.

Meanwhile Zhou is giving a grandiose MLK Day speech that has not mentioned MLK but is a divisive rant with himself as the star. Sickening.
