According to numerous media sources, New York Democrat Representative Jamaal Bowman pulled an emergency fire alarm in the House of Representatives today in an effort to delay the spending bill that was being debated.
In ordinary times, this would lead to arrest and possible removal from office. However, amid the DC dual justice system, and protected by cultural Marxism, it’s likely Bowman will receive no punishment. His actions were captured on CCTV video.
(Via Politico) – Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) pulled the fire alarm in a House office building as his party tried to delay a vote on a hurried House GOP stopgap spending bill, according to the Republican-controlled Administration Committee.
[…] Neither the U.S. Capitol Police nor Bowman immediately returned a request for comment on the fire alarm activation, which multiple people familiar with the situation said was caught on camera as the House descended into fresh chaos on Saturday. (link)
Uniparty Speaker Kevin McCarthy passed the 45-day stopgap funding patch, 335-91, with help from more than 200 Democrats and 90 Republicans voting no. {Details}
All these perps look alike

Trump Won Georgia by a lot
Someone please explain what just happened besides giving Joe 45 days to spend 4 trillion dollars.
Brewster’s Trillions!
Someone please explain why this guy wasn’t charged with “obstruction of government proceedings “?
Which is what J6 defendants were all accused of.
What just happened is that McCarthy used Democrats to pass a clean CR for 45 days, because Republicans would not pass the much more conservative CR (that had border legislation) he wanted yesterday afternoon.
Big picture is that there is no way to hold anyone in Congress accountable unless they go through regular order, voting on the 12 individual spending bills and then voting up or down on amendments to do things such as take out woke and Weaponized spending. That’s why uniparty hacks like Kevin McCarthy oppose regular order and insist on only governing through CRs.
The bottom line is that Kevin McCarthy works for the Democrats in the status quo, not for MAGA, not for conservative Republicans. There is no making any progress toward getting back to a constitutional republic with Kevin McCarthy as speaker.
The time crunch McCarthy found himself in might not have happened if he had effen kept the House in session in August and early Sept instead of going on the usual 5 week vacation 🙂
No freaking way. This wasn’t about time. This was about Rs being uniparty idiots with no interest in making America work for the people paying the bills.
If you say so 🙂
I think Hoo vol just did.
We need to stop paying the bills. Everything is going to implode anyway!
It was closer to seven weeks, and the time crunch was planned and very intentional. McCarthy’s plan all along was to stampede the GOP House toward a CR, and he succeeded.
Matt Gratz forced him to promise regular order, that is passing 12 spending bills, in order to become speaker. But he lied. He never had any intention of allowing regular order to occur. He always intended to continue government through CRs..
Gaetz, obviously. That was spell check.
^^^^^^^
That’s it, right there.
I was thinking the same thing.
McCarthy isn’t even a RINO.
He’s a straight up Democrat!
“Follow the wives” or in the case of the Speaker, bedfellows.
😂😂😂
he works for the iniparty
we do not have two parties
The key to breaking up the uniparty is regular order and forcing votes on amendments to defund woke and weaponized. That’s the only way to expose and primary the RINOs, and that’s why McCarthy will not allow it and constantly schemes to force government by CR.
Yes I realize that, but I wanted it explained to me about the actual effects this will cause to us taxpaying citizen’s footing the bill.
Spending at current levels are extended for 45 days. No increases. No cuts.
McCarthy now has an additional 45 days in which to pass the rest of the 12 individual appropriations bills that he PROMISED he would pass ON TIME as a condition of getting the Speaker’s gavel.
One question I’ve not see ANY so-called “news” outlet ask McCarthy — why did he let the House go on a 5 week vacation if passing these bills on time was the priority?
I guess the previous 8 months was not enough time
Lets face it,…many are THINKING it, but few are willing to say it out loud..
We had our one chance to “fix” Congress, on J6: no NG, low LE presence, and a buffer of a million bodies, between the Capital and any possible intervention.
Lots of pine tar, lots of feather pillows, and a couple of string mops,..
After all, if your gonne be ACCUSED of something,…and your gonna be CONVICTED of DOING that something,….
Might as well at least have the satisfaction of actually DOING the something.
Pretty sure if Mitch, Kevin, Nancyand Chuck had been stripped to their bvds, tarred and feathered onthe Capital portico, ridden tje rail while jeered at by the crowd, and the whole thing had been broadcast livestreamed,….well I doubt we wouldbe talking about a CR right now.
Everday I wish we had actually succeeded.
Bravo Dutchman! It’s getting closer to Patrick Henry time. all the keyboard typing is not going to change anything Treepers
It seems like this was the plan all along. It’s called “winging it”.
If it passes the Senate late tonight will they actually wake up Joe to sign the damn thing? My bet is Joe’s handlers auto-sign in his name and then wait until morning to get the real scrawl.
Many have already made the point in other places, but Bowman needs to be subject to the same charges that have been made against J6 defendants who have been sentenced to 4 years for “obstruction of government proceeding”.
“No reasonable prosecutor would bring charges…”
against a black congressman in DC.
“reasonable”?
Sounds like insurrection to me….
I read earlier that the Sustaining Resolution failed to pass and now I read it passed.
Help me to understand….he was “rushing to make an urgent vote” but took a time out to pull the fire alarm on the way, never even considering an actual alarm would be triggered.
This is what it takes to be a congressman in a D world.
He may have mistaken it for the door knob. Or perhaps he thought it was the new voting button that had just been installed that morning.
Hey, he was rushing to avert a government shutdown! Give him a break.
Maybe he thought it was a remote voting lever??
Douglass Mackey would’ve made an awsome meme out of this.
And gotten sentenced to 10 years for it!
Have we reached peak idiocracy yet?
Getting close
They can lie with impunity because they know the law enforcement agencies and media are on their side.
With media covering up, citizens are siloed off from even knowing about this.
He is a liar. Lying is what it takes to be a Democrat Congressman.
“,…Lieing is what it takes to bea CONgressmen.”
Fixed it.
Listen after what Schiff did, there’s nothing they can’t do.
“I don’t know how a fire alarm works. Send me to Congress.”
Plausible.
How many “conspirators” were with him in spirit?
Play the rest of the pictured scene. Did he act surprised?
Blacks can always use the low IQ/ not mentally competent to stand trial defense. This is the new tactic being used to get them off the hook when victimizing non-blacks. Even a congressman could use it.
Shucks, why not, some congressmen can even tip over a whole island with their ignorance!
Emma Simon has learned well the art of the “LIE”.
Auditioning for a higher paid liar job. The burnout rate for Biden the Boodler’s liars is high.
That’s the SPIN of all times – – “How many non sequiturs are in that paragraph” for 20 , Alex …
That’s just malinformation, I was indeed wearing sequins when I pulled the fire alarm!
Bowman couldn’t help himself…
His false alarm before House vote…
Caused premature evacuation 🙂
Sounds just like the contrived Jan6 “insurrection “!!!
translation – din do nuthns
Liar – Liar – Pants of *FIRE* – Sundance you were absolutely right – WE are smarter than *them*! LOLOLOL
Who set the bar that low?
(Short comment from me for a refreshing change)…
BS!!
Nice find, Betsy!
Now presumably Bowman will appear at the Capitol Police station to voluntarily surrender.
Yeah, right … sorry, I was hallucinating.
And there sit men and women in prison for years, convicted by DC Berian courts, separated from their families for being fitted up for J6. Exonerating video tapes hidden by the liar McCarthy who knows all.
As for the damning photo/tape of Bowman which has him dead to rights?
We’ve seen it now.
“He didn’t know….” says his spokesman.
And the border is closed…
Yeah. Right.
Pffffffft…..
Call em like you see em.
Have always done. Not stopping now.
Love it
😎👍🏻
Holy crap.
Surprised Bowman didn’t create a smash and grab in the Capitol dining room.
That is so funny wsb. Thanks for the laugh today!
The smash and grab IS the continuing resolution. He’s a hero for trying to delay it…. 😀
‘Surprised Bowman didn’t create a smash and grab in the Capitol dining room.’ — WSB
Have anyone actually checked whether the silverware has gone missing?
Hillary has it.
Next time he’ll stop by Fetterman’s office for the proper attire.
It was a Pants-on-Fire Alarm.
Spoxholes think they can get away with making absurd statements like this because they usually do get away with it.
.
Maybe he thought he heard it chirping . . .?
The meter fact-checked Bowman:
Utter bald faced lie. His actions speak the truth — his mouth lies.
Ignorance is no excuse of the law.
err Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
If the word “Fire” on the alarm had been written in cursive, he might have been able to read it.
Rushing…urgent…regrets confusion. What a word salad. Bovine excrement really.
Liars all of them – of course he knew what he was doing! They are liars. All of them.
She pulled that on out of her ass. Silly girl. She will probably lose her job over that worthless idiot.
It will now become mandatory for all fire alarms to include instructions in English, Spanish, Chinese, Braille and ebonics.
“Dere Bees A Fire, Y’all”
Yeah, right…BULLSHIT!!!
TO Emma Simon >>> Bullcrap~! on that.
Emma… Don’t try to piss on my leg & tell me it’s raining.
Most of the Republican congressmen and senators have no concern about the welfare of patriotic law abiding Americans.
The Republican party cannot be reformed or repaired.
There is only one solution and that is a new principled and patriotic party.
The alternative is allowing the USA to descend into total anarchy and the civil stife one finds in Africa and certain South American countries.
The question is…
Does the Republican Party exist?
From where I’m sitting and based on the evidence we can all see?
I’d say it does not not.
It’s easy to see things from our own perspective, which you just did. Something we all do in our comments.
But it is every bit as important, if not more important, to see the world through their eyes. Through their perspective.
To the GOP, as it is to most of the government, we don’t exist. To them, we are dead, or may as well be. The government of this country despises us. Especially conservatives.
In an environment like that all you can really do is get closer to God and prepare yourself and your family, as best you can, for what is coming. Tie another knot in the rope and hang on.
As an example of what I mean, consider the white farmers of South Africa. And what is also important to understand about them, they aren’t going to vote themselves out of their predicament and they know it.
Amen I rarely see comments that are similar to the thoughts in my gray matter. Let me guess you read his word daily. Understand the times we are witnessing. Not the end of the world but the end of the age of Grace. The end of the Church Age. Jesus told us to watch for his return we will be greatly rewarded. The next event setting up the planet for the AntiChrist will be the disappearance of millions possibly Billions of people. The world is searching for a leader right now. With this opportunity AntiChrist will step up explaining away our disappearance thru ET taking his place as the ruler of this planet. God Bless.
Perhaps because I am not a clubbie here nor a high volume poster. More a lepper here. Then again.
Who knows, maybe that gray matter has a genetic connection. In other words, Anderson is one of several GREAT surnames where I come from.
My point is that none of us are in control of where things are going in this country or in the world. Thinking we are is for fools and narcissists, if there is any distinction between the two.
Embrace the Holy Spirit. God bless you and yours, Gene.
Of course we don’t exist for them…except every two or four years. Otherwise we are just white noise, if even that.
A good example of this is our southern border, or what used to be but is no more. Where are the two senators from my State of Texas? Where are their efforts to see that their constituents are protected from the cartels and illegals streaming through open doors?
Nowhere. Not a peep.
I addressed only one side with this particular post, recognizing of course there are always two if not more. Or as you pointed out theirs and theirs alone.
Let’s just call my question a rhetorical one.
As for South Africa…
No one will say it but what’s going on there is genocide. There is no other word for it. And no, there will be no voting for any reprieve for the White population. It amazes me that such a horrid, murderous nation which was once so prosperous has now disintegrated into the sickening state of decay and hideous killings.
And yet, their President was recently feted with a State Visit and Dinner in Britain, attended by the Royal Family who toasted this monster.
South Africa is a “founding” member of BRICS. Apparently out and out state approved murders are no problem for that entity. There is a whole other discussion about that.
At any rate, we have arrived at a point where, as Sundance so often says and rightly, the pretending should be over.
The veil has been lifted, and we can see all…what is and what we thought was but wasn’t.
We are in tumultuous uncharted waters with no obvious star to follow to safe harbour. As is much of the rest of the world, I might add.
Dare I say WWIII? In many respects I believe that’s exactly where we are. But we are in a spiritual war as well. Two sides only…
And on that one I don’t need to know what the “other side” sees. It is all too clear, and I will not even try to understand their view or how we are seen by raw evil. I’ve made my choice.
And that, as they say, is that.
There is only one party Betsy And it’s called the “Make America Great Again” party & we all need to hop aboard and absolutely CRUSH the others.
Yea or Nay ??
Do you need to ask? 😉
Yes, if any of us did that we would be behind bars. Since he is of a protected class, he’ll be given an award and special status.
By his own party’s definition, Bowman was inciting an insurrection.
Stopped an official congressional proceeding20 years!
What is his excuse? Poverty? Feels less than white people? Wants to become a household name? They all have an excuse. Sad part is I have decided it is inate. No morals. No gratefulness. Tribal mentality.
I bet Obama is on the phone right now congratulating him.
How the voting went:
https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023513
A black, Democrat; nothing to see here.
Move along, plebes.
Isn’t this an insurrection or at least interference with an official proceeding. I could look up the actual charge name but Jan 6 protestors got charged with a felony for that.
“Disrupting an official proceeding.”
That will be 10 years right?
Congressman Bowman did not realize he would trigger a building alarm as he was rushing to make an urgent vote. The Congressman regrets any confusion.”
bowman is either lying or he is a complete imbecile.
Regardless, he has no business being in a position of authority.
He is both. A liar and dumb. A criminal mind with power.
Both!
.
Chirp.
***5 minutes later***
Chirp.
***5 minutes later***
Chirp.
HAHAHAHAHA.
Iconic Din Do right there
Lol!
Hey, it says “PULL”
Ha! Undoubtedly that will be his excuse.
Hey, it says “PULL” — John17milw
Larry Silverstein said the same thing on 9/11: just following the instructions. Pull it!
And he is dressed like Fetterman.
Arrest? Removal from office??
Hell, the democrats will promote him to a leadership position.
Yet it passed with money for Ukraine and none for the border.. Sold out again
My mistake.. I believe there is funding for neither.. It’s confusing.. If no Ukraine money will it pass the Senate or does it have to ? I’m confused
They will still use the money for Ukraine just calling it something else.
Thats just the money we know about. No one can tell you how much has left that gate of Hell known as the Pentagon.
This is what childish idiots we’re dealing with.
Democrats don’t get their way, so they have a sht-hemmorhage and throw a temper tantrum. They did it in 1860 and they’ve been doing it over and over again since 2000.
We’ve got a brain-damaged slob in the Senate who can’t dress himself properly before dribbling words down his chin so we change the rules.
We’ve got a Dindu in the house who doesn’t like the way a vote might go so he trips the fire alarm.
This party has caused nothing but chaos and ruin for 200 years. If anybody in the Congress were halfway serious, this dimwit would be expelled from the house and brought up on charges of “parading,” “disrupting official proceedings,” and “conspiracy” and given a 25 year prison sentence.
200 D votes?? McCarthy’s installed as D Majority Leader now.
Yes, Kevin McCarthy put a bill on the floor that many more Democrats voted for than Republicans. Essentially, he passed the clean continuing resolution that the Democrats wanted, but conservatives and MAGA Republicans did not want. Hakeem Jeffries is now essentially the Speaker of the House. Only one (1) Democrat voted against this CR, whereas ninety (90) Republicans, including ALL of the conservative, MAGA Republicans, voted against this CR.
This whole alarm-pulling fiasco is a shiny toy to cover up and distract from what just happened: Kevin McCarthy just sided with the Democrats and advanced Democrat legislation.
Couldn’t have said it any better myself. Great post.
This is a good point. Seems that Taylor Greene is the R publicizing the video of the alarm-pulling. She’s wormed her way in as a McCarthy lieutenant.
Finally– a real Election Denier!
asking the wrong people to fix problems
God Bless America
Will the Senate pass this without Ukraine funding? Probably not.
Ukraine First
Make Ukraine Nazi’s Great Again.
If it doesn’t then the shutdown is on Schumer.
I’m confused. I want the vote delayed,….PERMANENTLY.
Was this just a proceedural stunt or something?
Cause otherwise it seems like we should be applauding him for pulling the alarm to delay the vote.
I guess I just can’t keep up with the machiavellian machinations of CONgress, its too convoluted.
They’re eating each other.
Whatever one says or does on side, the other is going to counter just because.
Criminals in the Capitol…
But don’t dare go protest that, or you’ll end up in the D.C. Gulag…
Rep Bowman – you’re a punk.
If a Republican had done that, which they would never do, that Republican would’ve been removed from office.
Two tier justice😡
That is not a fire alarm. That is Russian disinformation.
‘Classic Russian tradecraft’ – 51 members of the intelligence community concur.
The Russians photoshopped that image of Bowman pulling the alarm. Bastards!
Fire mccarthy and arrest bowman. Send the sergeant at arms
So there is no Ukraine funding ? If not the Senates is not gonna pass it
If Senate doesn’t pass it, shutdown is on them.
Let them defend Ukraine Nazis First. We will be listening while our parks are all closed.
I agree… win, win
How long do you go to jail for obstruction of official proceeding?
The count — formally known in the penal code as 18 U.S.C. 1512(c)(2) — makes it a crime to “corruptly” obstruct, impede or interfere with any official government proceeding, and carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
Jul 20, 2023
Pelosi & Co. we’re also responsible for the J6 interference of an official government proceeding.
The government might not shutdown, they have saved us again. /max sarc.
‘Yelling “Fire!” in crowded theater is not protected free speech and is prohibited’…but… “pulling fire alarm” to prevent true representation and will of The People is ok. Is that correct?
You are starting to understand. That may not be a good thing.
McCarthy is a joke.
Dems are a joke.
Republicans are a joke.
Washington is a joke.
This country is a joke.
Voting will not change a damn thing.
And pending president-select Newsom doesn’t even need our vote. 🙁
But no one is laughing!
You can take the democrat out the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the democrat.
Check the Philadelphia looting videos I’m sure Jamaal was protesting there.
Bowman, confused, thought the fire alarm was his whiskey locker in the House cloakroom.
After the punishing hours the House has worked this weekend, anyone could make such a simple mistake.
Probably they will award him a medal.
Unserious delinquents make up half the Democrat Socialists. He should be expelled from the House and sent back to Yonkers from whence he came. Maybe they can elect an adult next time.
The Daily Mail states-He thought it was a “Door Knob “🙄🙄
If this guy seriously thinks a fire alarm is a door knob, then he simply does not have the mental capacity to serve in Congress. He does not meet the IQ threshold.
True but he is grandfathered in until he’s 108 years old….
You forgot the (sarc.)
An IQ minimum threashold,….for CONgress,…surely you jest!
Fettermen, Fienstien, Pelosi, …LEAHY fer cripes sake, gibbering idiot was President tempor, until they moved him cause he wasn’t ready for prime time, or even 2:00 a.m. C-Span.
Dear God
With a 335-91 vote, the House approved a 45-day temporary funding measure that excludes border security and $6 billion in additional support for Ukraine.
How about those Maui kids? You know, the ones, 2000+ burnt to death?
Oh, $700 you say?
6 Billion? Throw the buns out! Maybe pulling the fire alarm was warranted.
Extreme disruption of House procedures??
That’s …that’s…
Insurrection!
Bubba Wallace..
💯💥💥☝☝
This is worse than 9/11.
And Pearl Harbor, don’t forget…
Where’s the vote to vacate?
This must seal the fate of McCarthy. He needs to be gone. I am very proud of the 90 who voted against this!
As far as I’m concerned, the 335 must go.
I’m looking for names and will be loud about how corrupt these individuals are.
The 90 KNEW there vote would not effect the outcome, hence they were “free” to vote the way they did, expressly to engender your misplaced gratitude.
Don’t fall for that old trick;
DO you believe our elections are totally manipulated?
Then, you must conclude that EVERY currently elected office holder,…is corrupt.
Hence, the 90 are hired to play THEIR roles, and read their lines, just like the 335, and ALL must go.
Yup!
Any would be 747 pilots want to kamikaze a SOTU ala Tom Clancy?
How stupid to not realize there is a camera there. Tells you a lot.
He claims he thought it was to open the door, but how often do you think he’s been through that door??
We have 2-year-olds running our country!
Bowman is way too proud (and handsome, mind you) to skulk through the House with a paper bag over his head.
And, in the bigger, diverse scheme of things, he dindu nuffin.
insurrection.
Yawn!!! A long siesta is highly recommended! At la Playa!
Maybe someone told him the building would tip over if he didn’t pull the leveling switch?
Has to be some rational explanation like this.
When in doubt, blame Hank Johnson.
House Republicans,
Make the motion to vacate his Speakership, NOW!
Kevin McCarthy just completely sold out his caucus. He governs on behalf of Joe Biden and the Democrats. He is a uni-party hack. There is no way forward for MAGA Republicans with Kevin McCarthy in the speaker’s chair. He will always give the Democrats what they want, and he will always frustrate the conservatives in his own caucus.
We need a motion to vacate the chair immediately, because Kevin McCarthy is a disaster. He is as bad as Mitch McConnell.
Obstructing an Official Proceeding is 10 years for Trump supporters.
They sell us and the country out and insult us while doing it with an ongoing clown show. They have zero fear and that spells disaster.
Just stand and declare you have been diagnosed with Ebola and watch them voluntarily scatter!
Just another example of “they will do anything” to get what they want and always, without consequences.
