Washington DC continues pretending they do not know things. It is insufferable and frustrating. However, they are blind to the reality that a large segment of the American population is aware of the issues and understand the position of Republicans is not part of some mistake or flaw; it is a feature of their intent.
Elise Stefanik notes: “Republicans have the House, Senate, and the White House, yet the deep state is alive and well with the Speaker getting rolled by House Dems attempting to block my provision to require Congressional disclosure when the FBI opens counterintelligence investigations into presidential and federal candidates seeking office.
In a March 2017 open hearing, my questions to former FBI Director James Comey began the unraveling of the Russia Hoax when Comey admitted to not following proper notification procedures with his illegal opening of Crossfire Hurricane. A criminal act that can never happen again.
My provision will strengthen this accountability and transparency to deter this illegal weaponization and it passed out of the House Intelligence Committee in this Congress and previous ones. Yet House Republicans continue to get rolled by the deep state due to opposition by Jamie Raskin.
If Republicans can’t deliver accountability and legislative fixes to arguably the biggest illegal corruption and government weaponization issue of all time, then what are we even doing.
This language is even more essential in light of the continued weaponization of the federal government evidenced by the sweeping Arctic Frost wiretapping scandal and the recent illegal leaks of Steve Witkoff’s conversations with foreign counterparts.
Unless this provision is added back into the bill to prevent illegal political weaponization of the intelligence community in our elections, I am a HARD NO. I have always voted in support of the defense and intelligence authorization bills, but no more.
It is a scandalous disgrace that Republicans are allowing themselves to be rolled by the Dems and deep state on this.” (more)
Republicans are not getting “rolled”, and Mrs. Stefanik knows this.
It’s all so performative, and ‘we the people‘ can see the strings.
This is factually a very dangerous situation, because the abused are now numb to the patterns and consequences of the abusers. The abuser has not yet noticed.
Once the abuser catches on to the audience rolling their eyes and laughing at them, that creates a sense of humiliation directly in the psyche of the abuser…. Things get really ugly.
The single biggest reason that we have RINOs in the Congress is because of the sheer volume of RINO voters.
One of my retired neighbors right here in the Hill County of South Central Texas northwest of San Antonio is a perfect example. His Democrat wife and her daughter, a Democrat school teacher, keep his Huevos Rancheros under lock and key.
This RINO Republican has bought into the Climate Change scam Hook, Line, and Sinker.
About four years ago he sunk about $100K into putting solar panels on the house and about 20-Foot by about 40-Foot assembly in the yard.
About three years ago he bought a Chevrolet Volt (electric vehicle).
About two years ago he bought an electric walk-behind mower (most of our properties are about half an acre, his property is almost two acres) and rarely uses his lawn tractor.
After the November election he echoed the Democrat talking points about President Trump getting rid of the tax incentives for solar panels, electric vehicles & mowers, wind turbines, and such.
I simply asked him if he had any idea how much damage all of those solar panels, wind turbines with their fiberglass blades, and lithium batteries were causing our environment. He had absolutely no earthly idea what I was talking about.
I had to get out my crayons and explain that;
• Solar panels steadily lose their generating capacity over time and cannot be recycled so they are buried in the ground and contaminate the soil and water aquifer.
• Wind turbine generators stop generating electricity over time and cannot be recycled so they are buried in the ground and contaminate the soil and water aquifer.
• Wind turbine blades are made of fiberglass & when damaged they have to be replaced and cannot be recycled so they are buried in the ground and contaminate the soil and water aquifer.
• Lithium mining contaminates the soil and water aquifer and also lithium batteries steadily lose their recharging capacity over time, need to be replaced and cannot be recycled, so they are buried in the ground where they contaminate the soil and water aquifer.
Also, I tried to explain that Real conservatives are concerned about the environment that we live in and do not want to see it being destroyed. I could tell by the look in his eyes that; One, most of what I said went clear over his head, Two, he was having a real hard time trying to process the truth versus the Democrat talking points of his wife and stepdaughter.
RINO voters are our single biggest challenge.
The RINO voters I know have not bought into the climate change scam. Thank God for that.
However, they are all “vaccinated.” And many continue to line up for Covid, flu and other vaccines. It’s unbelievable!
They are all hooked on their gadgets and gismos. They’ve had no second thoughts about Siri, Alexa, facial recognition technology, digital trackers and Central Bank Digital Currency.
I’m honestly embarrassed that some of our best MAGA people come from the Democrat side: President Trump, RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, to name a few.
Not too many Republican CONgressmen have differentiated themselves from the UNiparty. If they did, at least one of them would call a recess to allow our President to appoint his own MAGA cabinet. For starters. They could also end the filibuster and *legislate* key MAGA initiatives such as immigration reform and election integrity.
I have a dream..
Those who are brainwashed shouldn’t be faulted, few have the time and reading / critical thinking skills to sift the field of information on the shots and the climate canard.
A task made even more difficult by the censorship and propaganda, plus the apparent seeding of muddying/discrediting information amongst the red pill sources.
In the context of longer-term geopolitical shifts under way, there appears to be a hidden hand manipulating information warfare and nudging to steer the US and aligned nations down as China accelerates its rise.
Some suggest that there is one entity with decades of practice refining such manipulations, which gained even more power and became completely untouchable with this pivotal event that also fits their MO.
Your neighbor suffers from cognitive dissonance. This was (and still is unfortunately) apparent during Covid…common among liberals.
Tell him to take the VAXX, whatever VAXX they come up with next, encourage your Rino to take 2!
Nobody believes the bull, even dumb people. The number of COVID shots you and I should have taken, if following ‘the scienfe’ was stupifying. 2 to start, than 1 at 6 months a 4th at 1 yr, then every 3 months for 3 years.
That’s 12 shots! Nobody got that many, because they stopped believing. They are just too sheeple to speak up. Remind them all good little sheeple get ALL their shots and do everything the government and news tells them to do. A little nose rubbing might get his manhood involved, or you might get lucky and piss him off so he doesn’t talk to you again.
Goog Day Nomem – Thank you for attempting to educate your neighbor. As an engineer, I spent 15 years in the on-site power generation field. My range of expertise was field application of generators 10 – 1500 kW. Wind turbines start around 750kW and go up to 1000, 1500kW and now even 3000kW.
Fiberglass blades spin the primary shaft into the gearbox. The gearbox changes the rpm (shaft speed) tp 1800 and inputs torque to the generator.
Generators are 99% copper & steel, the gearbox is 99% steel. At the price of copper & steel, I can assure you they are recycled.
Fiberglass & concrete are not recycled. Hope this helps.
Slotkin is still a CIA agent.
And probably true of Virginia’s incoming governor.
The military is the only way out of this mess! Our elected leaders have been compromised most are puppets bought off or controlled by foreign governments! Unless that happens nothing is going to change!
repeated for a measured and timely contemplation:
we are “asking” the wrong people to fix problems.
Congress is not the answer. Congress will never address not solve the fundamental problems that exist in America.
and the reason is quite simple…
Congress creates these problems…intentionally…willfully, openly, and it’s time we stop pretending this is not true.
YOU ARE THE WHITE HORSES COMING TO SAVE YOU.
YOU.
and ONLY YOU.
There is no one else. You can either refuse to accept this reality, or continue to put all your energy on a institutionally corrupt central state that has never improved your life and does not exist to represent your interests.
now this should bother you, yes, but it should also cause you to start accepting the responsibility over your future, the future of your family.
and that begins by taking part in your own state political body and moving toward a separation between the power of the central state and the power of your own state. it can be done. It just takes organization and leadership and a strong will to not back down.
think about it this way.
If I elect my state legislator, and he fails to achieve the reasons for my vote, I can move to have signatures from my district into the state legislature that will trigger a recall and if sufficient, a removal of that “official” from office. This is how the system works when dealing with people who are not honest, or weak, or ineffective. The will of the people, by consent or dissent is central to proper state power. This is your direct influence.
now compare this to your congressional “rep”. You do not have this power. There is no remedy that you the voter can do to remove from power someone who has betrayed the voters who put them there. And while this is clearly stated in the constitution, and I agree there is no confusion about this, is has given rise to people who run for office, take office, and then defraud the very people they promised to serve. What this means is that congress has not consequences for failing to serve you…so they don’t.
it’s just that simple.
you are asking the wrong people to fix problems.
God Bless America
I’ve said this for years: There is no political solution to the issues facing our nation.
I voted for Trump in 2016 because he was a usurper. Flip over the tables is what I wanted. But, alas, one man cannot undo what decades of political rot and corruption has wrought to our country. Everyone seems to be on the take…
Larry Klayman suggests Trump invoke the Insurrection Act, followed by martial law and military overseeing elections.
I agree. Military justice for the crooked.

I think at least some of our guys fold so easily is because they have something on them.
The Big Three.
President Trump, VP Vance, Caroline Leavitt, and every single Cabinet Member needs to basically call out Polly Pockets Johnson and John Thune in EVERY SINGLE presser, interview, meeting, etc!
Don’t answer ANY other questions – simply say “We’re doing all that we can but we are stymied by a Republican lead CONgress that is NOT doing the job that the American people elected them to do!”
Point out how many bill were passed under Obama and under Biden (but I repeat myself) vs how few were passed in President Trump’s first two years (when Rs held the WH, the Senate, and the House) and now, same situation and ever FEWER bills have been passed.
MTG may be a grandstander but she made very clear that the entire House is being held hostage to that puny little punk who refusing to bring anything to the floor for a vote!! He, like Judas Pence, talks the “good Christian” talk, but his walk is basically non-existent! I wonder how many skeletons would fall out of his closet if anyone got close enough to yank on the door?
Be careful what you wish for (i.e., more laws).
I don’t get it. Why is Elise’s upset over Republicans not including her provision to require disclosure a problem?
Battered Conservative Syndrome.
