Flotsam and Jetsam - Hunter in Contempt

The divine Ms. Devine at NYPo thinks Hunter Biden’s crashing of Congress, cracked reality are making his family look like a circus, not to mention sleeping with his dead brother's wife. Rep. Cloud to Newsmax: Hunter Proves He Deserves Contempt Charge. Breitbart, GOP Lawmakers Confront Hunter Biden at Contempt Hearing: ‘You Have No Balls. Via the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 01.11.24, Evita-Duffy-Alfonso raises an interesting point, Hunter Biden Flipped Congress The Bird To Get B-Roll For His Damage-Control Documentary. Yes, he clearly deserves the contempt citation. Even the Trump kids and Jared submitted meekly to the Democrat controlled Congress's demand that they appear for a closed door session. If the DOJ fails to follow up on this, it's only further proof the fix is in.

The Great Victor Davis Hanson at Am Great, Biden ‘Saves’ Democracy by Destroying it. "The Left is creating historic, anti-democratic precedents that will someday boomerang should Republicans win the November election and follow the new Democrat model of extra-legal politics." At Am Spec, Itxu Diaz sees Biden Lashes Out at the Half of the Country That Refuses to Vote for Him "His speech on Jan. 5 left no room for doubt. It’s your choice: Democrats or chaos." Mike Davis at Da Fed, Joe Biden Loves ‘Democracy’ As Long As His Enemies Sit Behind Bars. Via the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 01.11.24, and also at Da Fed,  Joy Pullman, Biden Smears Opponents As Nazis While Democrat Voters Riot For Jewish Genocide. 
 
At the Center Square ha a Poll: Democrats would rather see Michelle Obama in the White House than Biden. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair kibbitzes, "I’m surprised that the numbers aren’t higher for Mrs. Obama. I’m equally surprised that Captain Word Salad got as high as 7% in these results. Amy Klobuchar doesn’t show up at all despite being a contender in 2020, when she outlasted Harris by several weeks. Buttigieg’s 9% is almost as risible as Harris’ 7%" Althouse is concerned, "Biden’s Appeal to Black Voters Needs an Overhaul." "Writes Charles M. Blow, at the NYT.  The president’s speech [at Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, S.C.] was a chance to offer a vision for his second term, but there was hardly any vision in it. It focused on what his administration has done and not what it will do. It landed like someone coming to collect a payment for services rendered rather than to celebrate victories with a partner before mapping out future plans.... " Desperately trying to put lipstick on a pig, Jay Olshansky et al atop Da Hill asks Is Joe Biden a superager? We’re asking all the wrong questions. 

Althouse again, "The Defense Department inspector general said Thursday it will investigate the mishandling of Lloyd Austin’s recent hospitalization..." "... which the Pentagon chief and others close to him kept secret for days in an apparent breach of protocol after he developed serious complications from prostate cancer surgery.... The independent review will be conducted in addition to a 30-day assessment directed by Austin’s office and a parallel review ordered by the White House...." WaPo reports. AND: Why isn't Austin already gone? Is the White House afraid of criticism for letting him go or is it the problem of who will replace him? Here's a Politico discussion of who could be the next Secretary of Defense." Breitbart, Rep. Mark Green: DHS Chief Mayorkas Has Imported 5 Million Illegal Aliens — Outpacing Annual U.S. Births. Mary Chastain at LI, House Homeland Security Committee Holds First Hearing on Impeachment of Mayorkas “Our evidence makes it clear, Secretary Mayorkas is the architect of the devastation that we have witnessed for nearly three years.”


Mike Miller at RedState notes Former MSNBC Host: Democrats Need to Vote to Beat 'Rural People, Their Craziness About the Cult', back at you Chris Matthews. Paul Bedard at WaEx hears Newt Gingrich wants Trump-Stefanik ticket. I could live with it. PJM's Stephen Kruiser thinks It's All Over but the Veepstakes. Frank Sempa at Am Spec connects Machiavelli, The Prince, and Donald Trump "The former president exposed the “mechanism of rule and privilege” of our elite political class." At Spec World, Jacob Heilbrunn worries Will Chris Christie’s withdrawal help stop Trump? "The fear of Christie and others is that in a second term, Trump would indeed draw upon such plans to institute a dictatorship." Looking for a Haley rally. Capt. Ed, "Meh. DeSantis at least speaks to the populist Right, even if he can’t get their attention for all of Trump’s glamour. The Republican “establishment” has been losing elections since 2008, even when the party was less divided. The Tea Party bailed out the GOP in 2010, but even their alliance with the ‘neocon’/establishment faction couldn’t beat Democrats in 2012. Haley is not going to derail Trump with an insider play. To think otherwise is to misread the currents of politics in both parties that have swirled clearly for the past decade now." Miss Not Quite Congeniality Liz Mair thinks CNN's Iowa focus group had some interesting insights into Iowa "This race might be less settled than it looks. Or at least differently-settled. Maybe." Capt. Ed, "Basically, Liz argues for the Yogi Berra approach: It ain’t over until it’s over. I don’t think I’ve ever seen polls miss by 30 points, but it’s going to be VERY cold in Iowa on Monday, and organization will matter more than ever." TNP, Weather-Induced Low Iowa Turnout ‘Would Disproportionately Affect Trump.’ It annoys me that Iowa has such a disproportionate effect on our national elections. 


Sarah Arnold at TownHall hears Republicans Rip Judge For Not Delaying Trump Trial In Wake of Melania’s Mother’s Death. Yeah, that's kind of low class, but what do expect from Democrats? 

PJM's Chris Queen details how The Plot Thickens in the Fani Willis Corruption Allegations. At Da Wire, Georgia DA Pursuing Trump Gets Subpoenaed In Divorce Case Of Her Special Prosecutor. He was 'special' all right. At Da Caller, the Wife Of Fulton County Trump Prosecutor Alleges He Took Money From Her Account, Left Her In ‘Dire Need’. Scott McKay at Am Spec, The Devil Just Went Down in Georgia. "Now we know that Willis is utterly corrupt." Sarah Arnold again, Fani Willis Secretly Colluded With Democrats On How to Prosecute Trump. Charlotte Hazzard at JTN, Jordan says the Judiciary committee will look into Fani Willis over alleged illicit relationship "We had this concern with Alvin Bragg in New York," Jordan said. Capt. Ed, "That seems like a reach. *Can* they look into it? Sure, but that doesn’t make it *wise.* This is a state-level issue, not in federal jurisdiction, and House Republicans would be smarter to let Gov. Kemp address this. " There are potential Federal crimes involved so, yeah, do it. 

At HE, Mark Ivanyo says Trump's 'retribution' is morally and legally necessary. Tim Pearce at Da Wire reports Trump On Second Term: ‘I’m Not Going To Have Time For Retribution.’ Make time. If they aren't punished they'll continue the same activities. Breitbart, Exclusive — Donald Trump: Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco is ‘Really Running the Justice Department.’' Maybe, maybe not, but she is there and she's had her fingers in all the pies since Russiagate, at least, maybe even further back. 

J. Ken Davis as at Am Con on The Fourteenth Amendment Farce. "Any complete and parsimonious reading of the law must conclude that Trump should stay on the ballot."

Tayler Hansen@TaylerUSA  "Three years ago today I witnessed and documented Capitol Police Officer Michael Byrd shoot and kill unarmed Ashli Babbitt. It changed my life and how I view January 6th forever. Since then he has been promoted to Captain and raised $164,206 via GoFundMe. There has been no accountability but as of yesterday a $30M wrongful death lawsuit was filed by Aaron Babbitt. Since January 6th is used as a modern day Reichstag Fire for the Establishment I’d like to use my platform to dispel rumors surrounding what actually happened . . . " Sarah Arnold yet again, Nancy Pelosi Claims She 'Begged' for National Guard on J6-- How She's Lying. MD Kittle at Da Fed, Ramaswamy Embraces ‘Responsibility’ To Ditch Democrats’ Phony J6 Narratives And ‘Speak The Truth.’ "The presidential hopeful says getting at the truth of Jan. 6 wasn’t his job two years ago — but it is now."



Elise Stefanik at NYPo, Penn, Harvard firings just the start — House will expose ALL the higher-ed rot. Nice thought, but they don't have enough time or people. But take out a few significant ones, and the rest will get the message, they're not stupid, just corrupt. At Campus Reform, Stefanik vows to continue probe into Harvard, rid 'deep institutional rot' at Ivy League school. Monica Showalter at Am Think thinks Obama is in the running for Harvard president? Well, that won't fix anything. Dave Strom at Hat Hair, Chris Rufo For The Win! Christopher F. Rufo@realchrisrufo "The Atlantic has published the most baffling defense of Claudine Gay yet, arguing that ChatGPT also steals content and plagiarizes other sources. I'm not sure what we're supposed to conclude: that ChatGPT should also not be the president of Harvard?"

At Insty, GET WOKE, GO BROKE:
The Wombat has FMJRA 2.0: Whip it good! up and at 'em at The Other McCain.
