Finally – House Subcommittee Chairman Pete Sessions Starts Looking at Root of DC Lawfare Activity

Representative Pete Sessions is Chairman of the Subcommittee for Govt Operations and the Federal Workforce within the House Oversight and Government Accountability Committee.  The subcommittee has a few key Republican representatives, including Clay Higgins and Byron Donalds, who are aligned with MAGA, Donald Trump, pushback against the weaponization of our modern UniParty government – and they appear as allies in the effort to stimulate a larger awakening amid the American electorate.

As readers here are very aware, I am exceptionally frustrated with the willful blindness that permeates most of our Republican representatives. The GOP reps ignore the root causes of the problems and choose to focus on the politics of narratives.  As a result, congressional hearings, soundbites, letters written etc. generate nothing that stops the weaponization of govt. Quite simply, there are specific people within the administrative state that are the core of the corrupt activity.

These deep DC embeds, bureaucrats within a system behind the politicians, are never identified, called out or held accountable by the politicians or political staff who assist the elected representatives.  This is a big problem, and their willful blindness creates an outcome where the corrupt status quo continues despite grand pontifications and sternly worded letters intended to satiate the victims – We The People.

The current status is as if the politicians are afraid of the IC-assisted bureaucrats within it.  This reality creates the frustration that most people feel, yet few can accurately identify.  However, if we can get a few politicians to accurately identify and target some very specific and corrupt people within the deep state, then we begin a process where the weeds of corruption begin getting pulled out by their roots.

Chairman Pete Sessions (TX-CD17) appears to have taken the first step in what could be a very lengthy process of sunlight.  Chairman Sessions has sent a preservation letter to Georgetown University School of Law, identifying a couple of people at the root of the problem, Rosa Brooks and Mary McCord. {SEE HERE}

RED STATE – […] Sessions specifically singled out Professor Mary B. McCord for Brooks’ attention. McCord is now the executive director of the Georgetown University School of Law’s Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protections, or ICAP. 

Just as Brooks is no utility player, neither is McCord.

Before McCord joined Brooks’ team at Georgetown, she was a holdover from President Barack Obama, serving in the early months of the Trump administration.

As the acting assistant attorney general for the National Security Division, McCord worked with another Obama holdover, acting Attorney General Sally Q. Yates, worked together to kneecap National Security Advisor Michael T. Flynn.

Palm Sunday

I am hoping to offer a good message for all Christians, and I had one of our finest and most respected Treepers make this comment in reply last year:
.

“Menagerie, I am not Roman Catholic nor associated with any church denomination. I study the Bible under Pre-Tribulation Dispensational teachings. I find nothing in Bishop Barron’s homily that disagrees with what I understand about our Father and His will, His Grace, and His agapé love for us, and His Son Jesus Christ.”This is an exceptionally good message that universally applies to all Christians. Thank you for posting it this Palm Sunday morning.

This is what I was shooting for.

March 24th – 2024 Presidential Politics – Resistance Day 1160

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

Biden Blocks Liquified Natural Gas Exports for Countries Without Free Trade Agreements – Creates Uncertainty and Lawsuits

There’s some nuance in the story, but essentially the Biden administration is not approving or extending Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) export permits to nations who do not have free trade agreements (FTA’s) with the United States.  This is causing expansion issues in the LNG industry as needed investment capital by the industry is negatively impacted.

The Biden administration says they are pausing the permitting while they study climate change.  However, the Biden administration is also unilaterally sending LNG to Europe to support the NATO objective to hamper the Russian economy (not working).

As a consequence, the Biden administration (think Biden family) is controlling the outflow of LNG; essentially putting themselves in a position of financial influence over the LNG industry.  Who is controlling whom, and why?

HOUSTON, Texas — The liquefied natural gas industry has criticized the Biden administration for pausing export permits on LNG as uncertainties arise for developers planning massive amounts of investment.

Major U.S. exporter Freeport LNG’s Chief Executive Officer Michael Smith said Wednesday in an interview on the sidelines of the CERAWeek energy conference in Houston that “you won’t get this resolved till after the presidential elections” in November.

The U.S. Department of Energy, which issues permits for LNG export projects to countries that are not part of free trade agreements, announced in January that the government will pause permits to review how the projects affect climate change, national security and the economy.

Biden Justice Department Launches National “Red Flag” Center to Track Sketchy Gun Owners

The DOJ has announced [SEE HERE] a national center to monitor and assist states with Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPO), otherwise known as “Red Flag” laws and procedures to monitor gun owners and confiscate firearms from sketchy owners.

According to the announcement, the intent is to help states remove dangerous firearms from people who are identified as “at risk” to perpetrate violence.

“The launch of the National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center will provide our partners across the country with valuable resources to keep firearms out of the hands of individuals who pose a threat to themselves or others,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland.

“ERPO laws, which are modeled off domestic violence protection orders, create a civil process allowing law enforcement, family members (in most states), and medical professionals or other groups (in some states) to petition a court to temporarily prohibit someone at risk of harming themselves or others from purchasing and possessing firearms for the duration of the order.”

[…] Through the Center and its newly launched website, states, local governments, law enforcement, prosecutors, attorneys, judges, clinicians, victim service providers, and behavioral health and other social service providers will have direct access to critical information that will enhance their ability to reduce firearm homicides and suicides.

With Johns Hopkins and the Bloomberg School of Public Health in control of the database, and with the Dept of Justice – which includes the FBI in full support, problematic white males will likely be identified as the gravest threat requiring immediate supervision.  Be careful what opinions you post on social media.

Death Toll in Moscow Theater Attack Climbs Above 140 – Four Gunmen and Seven Others Arrested – President Vladimir Putin Vows “Retribution”

Unfortunately, as expected the death toll in the Crocus City Hall theater attack has doubled.  Russian authorities now put the death toll at 140, with hundreds more injured. The death toll is still expected to continue climbing as rescue workers continue working to find bodies amid the rubble.

This story is a matrix of horror and terrorism.  The originators and the motive behind the attack presents as a network of extremely sketchy actors.  Do not rush to judgement.  Allow the data to surface.  Expanded discussion after the facts as presented.

The four terrorist gunmen responsible for the attack were tracked as they fled Moscow and captured in the Bryansk Region of Russia.  They were traveling by car southeast away from Moscow toward the border with Ukraine.  According to interrogation video {LINK} two of the suspects claimed to be from Tajikistan and were recruited by an unidentified entity in Turkey to carry out the attack.

The claim is they were living in a hostel near north Moscow and were paid $5,000 each (500,000 rubles) to carry out the attack.  They were provided the weapons in the Moscow suburb, with instructions to drive southeast to Ukraine for safe harbor after the attack.  If accurate and/or truthful, each of these elements creates a datapoint for the Russian intelligence apparatus to identify the source.

The fact that they were captured alive, indicates the people/entity who organized and directed their terror mission wanted them to be captured alive.   The fact they were instructed to head to Ukraine, indicates the people/entity who organized their terror mission wanted them to be intercepted en route to Ukraine.

DWAC Voting Members Approve President Trump’s Truth Social Platform for Public IPO

Shareholders of Digital World Acquisition Corporation (DWAC) approved a merger with Donald Trump’s media company Truth Social on Friday, setting the stage of an Initial Public Offering (IPO) of the social media network.

With the approved merger, President Donald Trump’s social media platform Truth Social is now preparing to go public on the stock market at a current valuation of $6 billion. President Trump owns about 60% of Truth Social, ultimately the IPO could net him a possible $3.5 billion gain in net worth – at least on paper.

MEDIAITE –  […] Trump Media & Technology Group will now trade on the stock market under DJT.

The New York Times reported that the deal will put $300 million into Trump’s media company, giving a cash infusion to keep Truth Social running. The merger also means that the stock market price for Trump’s media company will reportedly be $5 billion, giving Trump a personal stake of $3 billion. That wealth on paper may not help the former president in covering the bond though.

The Times first reported the merger:
