Sen. J.D. Vance says he will block all
DOJ nominees over Trump indictment

Original Article

Posted By: DW626, 6/14/2023 7:17:39 AM

In the face of a virtual wall of silence among Senate Republicans, Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio has announced that he will place a hold in confirmation of nominees to Justice Department positions to protest the indictment of Donald Trump: (snip) It is not clear what might cause Vance to drop this hold. Perhaps the Special Prosecutor Jack Smith dropping the charges of the indictment? Merrick Garland certainly will claim that Smith is “independent” and that he, Garland, cannot properly intervene. So, expect this block to remain until the next president is inaugurated or the matter is ended in the courts.

Good for J.D. Vance! My husband and I were lifelong Ohioans until we moved to South Carolina ten years ago. We would have voted for Sen. Vance in a heartbeat.

Does all of this grandstanding accomplish anything? So do the J6 political prisoners get a fair hearing? So do Hunter and Joe Biden get raided in the early morning hours like Flynn did? Naw,just more meaningless posing for the cameras. Same song different day...

Blocking DOJ nominees until the next president sounds like a good idea. Put a hold on all DOJ promotions and bonuses too.

Ok. Give it a try, Senator. But I am sure the dims and the deep state have already war-gamed the prospect of you putting dim nominee confirmations on hold and believe they still have a pathway to get the confirmations done.

The way the Biden Bunch is abusing power, this is a wise move. It probably needs to be expanded beyond the DOJ. It's a shame most Republicans are silent over what Biden and company are doing. What side are they on anyway? Think I already know the answer to that...

In the words of the immortal Cliff Clavin, “It takes two to be codependent!” Unless of course, you are a progressive. In that case, you are perfectly capable of being codependent all by yourself. And you are free to drag as many people down with you as you wish. Marquette University professor Grant Silva recently told NPR affiliate WUWM in Milwaukee that the American flag makes him nervous. Via The Daily Caller: I also get a little bit anxious around the excessive imagery of the flag in part because in my experience, patriotism quickly slips into nationalism.

In a just and sane world, the people trying to rip the country apart should never be near the reins of power. The fact that we have descended into a clown world tells you what happens when they do. It also tells you what they are capable of in keeping a death grip on power and why that is extraordinarily dangerous. The number-one rule for understanding the fascist far left is that they will always accuse the pro-freedom right of what they are doing. And they take charges of hypocrisy as indications of success in this endeavor. So when they incessantly scream

Fox News reports that twenty Republicans in the House of Representatives sided with most Democrats in voting against a resolution that would have censured Rep. Adam Schiff, (D-Calif.), for repeatedly peddling the hoax that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election. The reprehensible Schiff was one of the foremost proponents of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. He repeated the falsehood in every forum possible. With every appearance, the lies became more ridiculous. He even claimed that Trump was an asset to the Kremlin. This wasn't a mistake on Schiff's part. Schiff knew these were fabrications but he said it anyway.

Former President Barack Obama is back to throwing criticism towards the Republican Party, recently claiming the GOP has adopted a "big business" attitude. During a Thursday appearance on David Axelrod's Axe Files podcast, Obama accused the GOP of fueling "anger" and "resentment" from its supporters, claiming the party is struggling because they have embraced an "elitist economic agenda." "We've developed, what we've seen is a Republican Party that has embraced a cultural populism, the kind of populism that we talked about earlier: resentment, anger, you know, exploiting people's sense that things are rigged," Obama said.

In 1996 comedian Chris Rock performed an HBO special called, “Bring the Pain” (full video here). His most memorable routine began with: “Who’s more racist? Black people or white people? Black people. Because everything white people hate about black people, black people REALLY don’t like about black people.” Rock used the hard, “R”, calling it a Civil War between black people and n****** , declaring that, “n****** got to go!” The audience in Washington DC was mostly if not entirely black, and the laughter was loud.

Earlier on Tuesday, former and potentially future President Donald Trump was arrainged in Miami for his handling of classified documents. He pled not guilty on all 37 counts brought forth by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Law Professor Jonathan Turley over recent days has explained through many channels what is at stake if Trump is found guilty of even just one charge. In an opinion piece for USA Today published on Tuesday, Turley detailed how the maximum sentence for the charges come with 10-12 years in prison potentially. He isn't exactly a young man.

Chairman Mao, the unspoken hero of our garbage ruling caste, understood that power flows from the barrel of a gun, and it’s not unreasonable to wonder whether the institutions in America that carry guns – law enforcement and the military – and who are supposed to protect us will turn those guns on us if commanded to by the ruling elite. Stop wondering. Their answer is that to a greater extent than those of us who grew up in America, when it was a free country before it became our present crypto-leftist tyranny, want to admit, they will. Right now, they are hiding news that undermines their rule.

It is so evident that writers, reporters and talking heads who are not 1000% in harmony with progressive party line narrative news doctrine are often viciously attacked.

Few things concern American citizens more than the steady encroachment of the federal government on our constitutionally protected liberty. WB Yeats’ words aptly describe the way millions of Americans feel about their own government: “The falcon cannot hear the falconer; things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.” The federal government seems to have no mechanism of self-restraint. We feel suffocated by its excesses. It is appropriate in this context to celebrate the passage of SCR 21, Senator Stewart Cathey’s Joint Concurrent Resolution.

Oath Keepers founder and political prisoner Stewart Rhodes was sentenced on Thursday, May 25th, in Washington, DC. Far-left Obama-appointed US District Judge Amit Mehta on Thursday sentenced Rhodes to 18 years in federal prison. This was after he added extra years to his sentence because he believed Rhodes’ actions amounted to terrorism. This was completely ludicrous. The soulless judge then lectured him on what a danger he was to society. Rhodes is currently 57. If this kangaroo court’s conviction stands, Rhodes will be 75 when he is released.(snip) Yet, a DC kangaroo court found him guilty of sedition for attending a Trump rally.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said Thursday that Republicans will try again to censure Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., for making "false accusations" against former President Trump, after the House voted down a censure resolution against Schiff on Wednesday. In that vote, 20 Republicans rejected Luna’s censure resolution, in part because it recommended a $16 million fine against Schiff for telling "lies" about collusion between former President Trump and Russia, something that several investigations were never able to prove. Luna says that number is roughly half the cost of investigating Trump, probes that were never able to show collusion. One lawmaker, Rep. Tom Massie, R-Ky.,

Late last December, while shopping at Target, I noticed something peculiar about the wrapping paper in Christmas clearance merchandise: Nobody was buying the gay pride-themed items, despite the fact that they were marked down to 90 cents a roll. I wrote about that here. Now that there's been a hullaballoo at Target over its aggressive merchandising of LGBTQ+ promotional items, which drove its stock down for a period, and forced it to move its prominent displays in some outlets, how are those sales going? Well, on a visit to Target on Balboa Avenue in San Diego on May 30, where the merchandise had just been pulled back from immediate visibility

Scott is running for president and Obama is in a snit about a conservative black man with a compelling life story running for the top job.

Ponder back to the days of Barack Obama in the White House. He suckered in voters with a phony upbeat message of Yes, We Can and giving voters the hope and change schtick. Not only did
