The House Oversight and Accountability Committee has postponed a hearing into the Biden family's business dealings. The hearing, titled "The Biden Family Investigation: The Department of the Treasury," was supposed to be held on Friday at 9 a.m., but committee staff told the Washington Examiner it was delayed because the requested witness could not attend that day. “Treasury Department officials have repeatedly said that they are cooperating with the Committee’s request but all we’ve seen is obstruction," Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said in a statement released the day before. "We’ve offered multiple good faith accommodations, but Treasury continues to provide excuses and employ delay tactics. We are done with the excuses and

Oh My......."it was delayed because the requested witness could not attend that day"......Oh Well, maybe Mitch "MultiUseless" McConnell will draft another "stern" letter over the weekend. A staff member of Schumer will review and edit the letter, then its a back-and-forth. Paper Tigers.

Anyone else get the feeling that the republicans in the House are once again putting on Kabuki Theatre shows which will lead to nothing whatsoever being accomplished and in effect giving a thrust up, in your face middle finger to not only the we the voters who put them in Congress but to our Country as a whole. The are playing us for idiots and suckers once again while they rape and plunder we the taxpayers. Not this time you POS republican Deep State pond scum. We want action and results or no more lesser of evil votes for you. If I have to see that phony blowhard in his shirt sleeves, Jim Jordan, one more time on the cable propaganda shows loudly complaining about the corrupt communist death democrats getting away with literal murder and yet now that he has been given the reins of power somehow nothing is ever done. Jim Jordan is bought and paid for by Google and has his snout thrust deeply into the corruption trough in the Swamp. By the way he reminds all the time of that all time media blowhard Sean Hannity who is also a stealth deep Stater. Another hypocrite of the first degree. So done with the republicans. Get bent ya'll.

Asking the Treasury for info on the Biden Crime Family is like asking Jake 'Greasy Thumb' Guzik for Capone's secret ledgers.

Mr. Comer, you knew from the start you were going to be obstructed, so why the polite requests, and putting up with the run arounds? Issue a subpoena at the start, force them to testify under oath, and send the marshalls, if they don't appear on the set date.

in retrospect and only a few years ago, would any congressional committee delay any hearing having to do with our President, Donald J. Trump - not on your life!!! congressional committees are where serious crimes against the people of the USofA go to die and nothing is ever accomplished the demcommies are biding their time until 2024 when our President is re-re-elected so they can finally and completely punish him and impeach him for another contrived and manufactured "crime"

Joe Biden's new budget plan, released on Thursday, is light on initiatives for dealing with the drug crisis sweeping the county but heavy on gender politics, according to a new analysis. Biden mentioned 'equity' 63 times in the document, Fox News found - more than double the references to the word 'border'. The word 'fentanyl' was only mentioned twice.The word 'transgender' featured eight times, and 'queer' seven times - but the word 'opioids' was mentioned four times. 'Equity', a key focus, was mentioned in the context of racial equity, equal access to healthcare, and equity for veterans.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s authoritarian reaction to the airing of previously unseen footage from the January 6, 2021 chaos at the U.S. Capitol when he called for Fox News to stomp on host Tucker Carlson has drawn much criticism as well as an epic bit of trolling from billionaire Twitter owner Elon Musk. The New York Democrat denounced the conservative network for allowing Carlson to air the bombshell footage that undercut the official establishment narrative of the so-called “insurrection” with the public getting its first chance to see how the day’s events were misleadingly portrayed to justify a federal government crackdown on supporters of former President Donald J.

Speaking with Jesse Watters on Fox News earlier this week, Cruz called for justice to be delivered to those who murdered two Americans in Mexico, adding that Biden’s lack of “responsible presidential leadership” had contributed to the situation. “Joe Biden created the chaos at the border. Joe Biden stopped building the wall. He reinstated Catch and Release. He pulled out of Remain in Mexico,” Cruz said. “

President Joe Biden’s budget asks for more money to help deliver more legal, quasi-legal, and illegal migrants into the jobs and homes needed by Americans. Biden’s budget asks for money to hire 500 extra border guards who catch migrants — and money to hire 460 more people to release the migrants so they can travel to jobs and housing. The Democrats’ budget asks for a $4.7 billion “contingency fund” to operate the existing network of non-profit groups, shelters, training courses, travel routes, and healthcare checks which get low-wage migrants into the jobs that would otherwise go to better-paid Americans.

For forty-five years (1964 to 2009), the United States experienced significant progress in race relations. Thanks to the efforts of individual citizens in their communities throughout all regions of the country, this nation was well on its way to racial healing. In 2008 only 18% of Americans were greatly concerned or worried about the state of race relations in the country as nearly 70% thought that relations between Whites and Blacks were very or somewhat good. In 2009, the most divisive and societally destructive president in American history, Barack Obama, came into office determined to reverse this trend by manipulating the Black citizenry into abandoning racial harmony by utilizing

There is no way to avoid this moment. The formal letter of apology. From me. To Conservatives and to those who “put America first” everywhere. It’s tempting to sweep this confrontation with my own gullibility under the rug — to “move on” without every acknowledging that I was duped, and that as a result I made mistakes in judgement, and that these mistakes hurt millions of other people like you all, in existential ways. (Snip) The proximate cause of this letter of apology is the airing, two nights ago, of excepts from tens of thousands of hours of security camera footage from the United States Capitol taken on Jan 6, 2021.

Jenna Ellis, an attorney who advised then-President Donald Trump as he tried to overturn the 2020 election results, was censured for misconduct Wednesday by a Colorado Supreme Court judge. The Colorado Supreme Court’s Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel said that Ellis violated a Colorado rule for professional conduct that prohibits “misrepresentation” by attorneys. The office said Ellis made a series of public statements about the 2020 election that were false. “The public censure in this matter reinforces that even if engaged in political speech, there is a line attorneys cannot cross, particularly when they are speaking in a representative capacity,” the office said in a statement.

President Joe Biden released his budget on Thursday, vowing to cut $3 trillion from the federal deficit over the next decade, in part, by levying a 25% minimum tax on the wealthiest Americans. Biden also raises more revenue by increasing taxes on oil and gas companies, hiking the corporate tax rate to 28%, up from 21% imposed under former President Donald Trump but below the 35% tax pre-2017, and allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices. With Biden likely to run for re-election in 2024, his budget is also a preview into his platform as a candidate and campaign pitch in the year ahead.
