Flotsam and Jetsam - Comer Readies Impeachment Inquiry

From the NYPo, House Speaker Mike Johnson to call vote on Biden impeachment probe amid ‘stonewalling’. Dan Chaitin at Da Wire adds Comer Believes House GOP Has Enough Votes To Get Formal Biden Impeachment Inquiry. Enough talk, just do it already. It won't pass the Senate. Joe Biden could shoot someone on Constitution Ave. and the Democrats in the Senate would not vote to convict. You can drag out the whole affair through the election, because he'll keep providing new material. At WaEx, House GOP puts one major condition on Hunter Biden's offer to testify to Congress. Deposition first, then open hearing. ET, Top Republican Vows to Take Hunter Biden to Court if President's Son Skips Deposition. Steven Richards at JTN, Banks, feds knew of suspicious Hunter Biden deals even as Joe Biden issued constant denials. "From 2015 to 2018, banks, federal agencies, and at least one foreign government knew of suspicious transactions surrounding Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings." James Lynch at Da Caller reports a Top Democrat Attacks IRS Whistleblower Gary Shapley By Omitting Key Details From Witness Testimony, Rep. Richard Neal, D-MA. 

Twitchy thinks Unhinged Lefties MELTING DOWN Over Biden and the '24 Election on Viral 'Abandon Biden' Tag Is GLORIOUS. Charlotte Hazzard at JTN reports Muslim leaders in swing states launch campaign to ditch Biden in 2024. "The campaign is titled the #AbandonBiden National Coalition." Breitbart notes Muslim American Leaders in Swing States Vow to Defeat Biden in 2024: ‘We Will Change the Vote’. Jazz Shaw at Hat Hair also notices Swing State Muslims Vow to "Abandon Biden" Next Year. They probably won't vote Republican, but they may vote for RFL Jr. or Cornell West. 

The Free Bacon observes Karine Jean-Pierre Can't Stop Breaking This Federal Ethics Rule, the Hatch Act. I don't believe the Hatch Act should apply to Presidential spokesthings, but if it does it should be applied to both Democrats and Republicans equally. At Da Mail, Biden wags his finger at Robert De Niro for jibe at his age as Rita Moreno, 91, says such talk is 'f***king boring' as Kennedy Center honors Billy Crystal, Queen Latifah and Dionne Warwick. I&I wonders Does Anybody Know What Books Biden Reads? Or If He Reads? There's not evidence of intellectual curiosity. At Da Caller, Biden Could Jack Up Food Prices, Wreak Environmental Havoc With ‘Sustainable’ Jet Fuel Subsidies. that's the plan after all. 

At TownHall, Kurt Schlichter, a DeSantis guy wonders Can Trump Actually Win in November? Althouse notices The NYT headline about Trump's Cedar Rapids speech is so close to WaPo's headline that I was afraid for a moment that I'd mistakenly attributed the NYT headline to WaPo... ... when I put up this post an hour ago. The WaPo headline you see at that post is: "Trump attempts to spin anti-democracy, authoritarian criticism against Biden." The NYT headline is "Trump’s Defense to Charge That He’s Anti-Democratic? Accuse Biden of It". The Journolist lives. Also,  Will the history of Napoleon's return repeat itself? "I don't know, but let's compare 2 political cartoons on the subject." At TownHall Vicky Taft wonders if Maybe This Idiocy Will Finally Break Trump Derangement Syndrome Fever Forever. It's doubtful. It's tougher to beat than antibiotic resistant syphilis.From NewsMax, Trump: Ballot Ban Push Shows They Don't Want to Run Against Me. His ability to reveal the truth about other candidates is amazing, Liz Cheney believes Republican House majority in 2025 poses a ‘threat’ at WaEx. At TNP a PREVIEW: Trump to Declare His Campaign ‘A Righteous Crusade to Liberate Our Republic’. Matt Schmitz at Am Con calls him President Normal. "Trump’s secret is not how he flouts convention but how he projects moderation."

Never-anybody-but-Trump is in seventh heaven as Chris Christie Fails to Qualify for Maine Primary Ballot and Sunday Talks – Chris Christie Does Baghdad Bob Impressions on Face The Nation. ET, Chris Christie May Not Appear on Republican Primary Ballot in Maine. "Maine's secretary of state has revealed the list of candidates on the primary ballot, and GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie is notably absent." AP reports Three officials have left a pro-DeSantis super PAC in the group’s latest shake-up, AP sources say  Atop Da Hill, Senate anti-Trump GOP see Haley as best hope to avoid disaster. 

Pete Chowka at Am Think thinks Thursday’s DeSantis-Newsom TV Debate was a Ratings Winner for FOX News. Ellie Gardey at Am Spec asks Governor or Showman? ‘Red State vs. Blue State Debate’ Exposes Newsom. "He refused to answer for any of California’s problems." From Da Fed, John Davidson thinks Gavin Newsom’s Rebuke Of Democrat Antisemitism Is All Politics, No Principles.

Fox reports Kathy Hochul clarifies claim of 'filling' George Santos seat, pledges special election "Hochul's post on X does not refer to her holding a special election" as the law requires. At WaEx, All eyes on Arizona's Kyrsten Sinema for 2024 decision with Senate control in the balance. Will she run as a Democrat-not-a-Democrat? From Da Wire, Democrat Strategist Claims Speaker Johnson ‘A Bigger Threat’ To U.S. ‘Than Al-Qaeda’; Johnson Responds. Carville is an ass, but an entertaining ass. 

Jack Hellner at Am Think asks Why did the media cover the congenital liar Cohen but not the expert witnesses for Trump's banking? Are you still under the illusion that they're fair? 

Hat Hair's Dave Strom reports Babylon Bee Actor Arrested for Attending Protest on Jan. 6th, 2021 "He was arrested for four misdemeanors. In an airport. In front of his family. For offenses that took place years ago. At a protest. At the Capitol building. The FBI arrested actor Siaka Massaquoi at an airport in front of his family and all the world. . .  One factor in his arrest is likely the fact that he is running for State Assembly in California, and we can’t have that." Jen Van Laar at RedState, Siaka Massaquoi, RedState Columnist and LA County GOP Official, Arrested at Airport on J6 Misdemeanors/

Were they punishing him for watching the 🆕 @dailywireplus #LadyBallers movie? Why not arrest him during their 2021 raid? He was at the threshold of the door for maybe a minute, & even helping the police direct the flow of foot traffic out the door. Crime?https://t.co/I1Gqpl8yLH https://t.co/FSS2fVFFg9 pic.twitter.com/PcJA294nBl

At Am Think Andrea Widburg thinks Almost 3 years after J6, Biden’s FBI descended on a conservative actor. At PM, Biden’s DOJ arrests prominent conservative actor for attending Jan 6 protests THREE YEARS later.  Make that a Black, conservative actor. Can't have that. From TNP The Jan 6 Committee Depositions Have Been Destroyed, Reveals Congressman. They must have a lot to hide.

Matt Vespa at TownHall, Federal Court: Trump NOT Immune From January 6 Lawsuits, on the bright side, does this mean we can sue Joe Biden for all his misdeeds? 

It’s not necessarily shocking news, given how former President Donald Trump has fared riding this legal merry-go-round. Still, this litigious purgatory he finds himself in is about to worsen: a federal court ruled that he’s not immune from January 6 lawsuits. So, brace yourselves, there’s bound to be a mountain of new legal issues facing Trump (via Fox News):

Jeff Lord at NewsBusters asks The Media And 2024: Will They Do Their Job? What makes you think they would change? From Mediaite, ‘Whoa!’ Gutfeld Draws Stunned Gasps In Studio With Devastating Crack About Fox News Firing Tucker Carlson. I saw that. He is getting bolder.

From Da Fetched, Top Democrat’s Home Vandalized by Leftist Pro-Palestinian Protesters. It shouldn't happen at all, but if it does, let it be to Democrats. They opened the doors. Hat Hair's KT scandalized when a Maine Town Removed a Star of David From Its Holiday Display - Called 'Offensive' and Jazz Shaw sees the Columbia Law School Dean Resigns. "Her initial response to the attack and the subsequent student protests mentioned “violence that erupted in Israel and Gaza” without even mentioning Hamas or the horrors that unfolded. She also took no action in response to the pro-Hamas students parading around the campus." 

The NY Sun notes Virginia Jewish Group in an Uproar After Festival ‘Cancels’ Menorah Lighting Because of Israel War "The founder of the event tells local press outlets that the menorah ceremony ‘seemed very inappropriate.’" The Tax Prof notes Foley & Lardner Is Third Law Firm To Rescind Offer To Incoming Associate Due To Anti-Israel Comments. Mike LaChance at LI reports Pro-Terrorist Mobs Run Wild in New York City, “Marchers who have joined the Within Our Lifetime rallies in recent weeks have vandalized buildings like the New York Public Library, including spraying graffiti and breaking glass doors” Well, New York. Kathleen Hayes at the Jewish Journal wonders Why They Don’t Condemn Hamas. "The failure to condemn Hamas stretches from universities and unions to the United Nations, which has denounced Israel many times since October 7 but the Palestinian terrorist group, zero." Hollywood in Toto is optimistic, Did Hamas Accidentally Crush Cancel Culture? "Terrorist attack finds progressives suddenly scrambling to defend free speech." Hat Hair's KT again, Two Actresses Offer Up Apologies to Extinguish the Flames of Backlash over Israel-Hamas War  Susan Sarandon and Julianna Margulies. 

Brad Palumbo at WaEx sees the 'Woke' media tried to cancel a child in a racism hoax. It backfired spectacularly. 

At Da Mail, How the college degree lost its value: Nearly half of US companies plan to ax Bachelor's degree requirements - after Walmart, Accenture and IBM led the charge. I wonder how that happened. 

Example,  from Campus Reform, Trans activists tell straight, gay people they can’t have ‘genital preferences’.  Fuck 'em, or not. At Da Mail, Trans U-turn sees female pool players threaten to sue governing body for sex discrimination after transgender players are once again allowed to compete in competitions. I would think female pool players would be a less disadvantage than, say, swimmers. Tristan Justice at Da Fed, thinks The Fight Against Sexualizing Kids Doesn’t Just Win Debates, It Wins Elections. With reference to the DeSantis/Newsom debate. HE,  Supreme Court rejects request to halt injunction on law prohibiting minors at drag shows. I'm fine with this. Just don't allow schools and government agencies force kids to attend such shows in the name of whatever they're calling it today.
