These 20 House Republicans voted to block resolution to censure Adam Schiff

The Hill Twenty House Republicans joined Democrats on Wednesday in voting to table a resolution to censure Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), breaking from the majority of the GOP conference on a measure that was backed by leadership.

"The House voted 225-196-7 to effectively kill the measure, which was spearheaded by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.). It called for censuring and condemning Schiff “for conduct that misleads the American people in a way that is not befitting an elected Member of the House of Representatives"

"It also would have directed the Ethics Committee to conduct an investigation into Schiff’s “lies, misrepresentations, and abuses of sensitive information

"Twenty Republicans voted with Democrats in favor of the motion to table: Reps. Kelly Armstrong (N.D.), Lori Chavez-DeRemer (Ore.), Juan Ciscomani (Ariz.), Tom Cole (Okla.), Warren Davidson (Ohio), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Kay Granger (Texas), Garret Graves (La.), Thomas Kean Jr. (N.J.), Kevin Kiley (Calif.), Young Kim (Calif.), Mike Lawler (N.Y.), Thomas Massie (Ky.), Tom McClintock (Calif.), Mark Molinaro (N.Y.), Jay Obernolte (Calif.), Mike Simpson (Idaho), Mike Turner (Ohio), David Valadao (Calif.) and Steve Womack (Ark.)." . . .

The fine was a deal-breaker

Adam Schiff Avoids Being Censured in Republican-Controlled House, For Now (townhall.com)   There had been a sense of dramatic chatter on Wednesday leading up to the vote, as Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) indicated over Twitter he would vote to table the motion, thus not censuring Schiff. Although he agreed that Schiff "acted unethically," he expressed that the "$16 million fine is in violation of the 27th and 8th amendments."

Trump indicted, not Hillary, Hunter or Milley -

. . ."Attorney General Patrick Morrisey tweeted, “Here we go again with another political prosecution. I think every American (including the other Presidential candidates) should speak out against having two different systems of justice. No double standards!”

"Governor Jim Justice tweeted, “The Biden Administration and the Democrats know they can’t beat President Trump and me unless they weaponize the federal government. Democrats will stop at nothing to defeat us and keep the presidency and their Senate majority. I will always stand with President Donald Trump!”

"Justice was a Democrat who supported Trump in 2016. He has switched parties and is taking on Senator Joe Manchin, D-Manchin, in next year’s Senate race. It would be nice to have both our senators put West Virginia first.

"Americans know the indictment is a set-up because those are the only crimes the FBI can solve anymore. The January 6 protest became an insurrection thanks to FBI informants and maybe even agents who egged people on.

"The FBI is best at covering up crimes. Consider Hillary sending state secrets while secretary of state via email to foreign governments and others who paid the troll via donations to her fake charity." . . .

Alvin Bragg Justice: Daniel Penny Indicted

"Keep in mind that this isn't just Penny's word against an unknowable, potentially alternative account from a man who is now dead.  There were many witnesses to the whole episode, and there's video.  Reportedly, some of the women on the train whom Penny sought to protect with his intervention have already proactively backed up his story.  They're grateful.  Even in a place like New York City, I suspect it will be very difficult to convict Daniel Penny for any crime, in light of the available facts of the case -- but it looks like Alvin and company will give it their best shot.  Priorities." . . .

Joe Biden; Father of the Bribe

 

Grassley, Comer allege bribery scheme involving Biden and demand documents from FBI - CBS News  "Two top congressional Republicans say they want to know what, if any, information the FBI has about an alleged bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden, while the White House accuses the lawmakers of an "unfounded political attack.' " . . .

Let the Biden crime clan off the hook -- for a steep price - American Thinker  "Prosecution of Biden, Hunter, and the rest of the Biden crime clan will be a can of worms.  Among the considerations:

"Is Biden fit to stand trial?  His vacant staring, and his shaking hands with imaginary people, suggest that the answer is no. 

"The common law precludes a trial of an incompetent person.  Under the United States Constitution, an accused person must be able to understand the charge against him, and must be able to assist his lawyer to present a defense. See Rohan ex rel. Gates v. Woodford, 334 F.3d 803 (9th Cir.  2002).  Biden is a basket-case, and clearly cannot.

"Assets which result from alleged criminal conduct may not be used by a defendant to pay for a lawyer.  That's from Kaley v. United States, 571 U.S. 320 (2014). If Biden, Hunter, and the rest of the Biden crime clan cannot afford lawyers, the United States government will be required to pay a million or two in defense costs.  That will be over and above a million or two in prosecution costs." . . .

Meet the Ukrainian Oligarch Who Allegedly Paid Joe Biden $5 Million (breitbart.com)

. . ."Mykola Zlochevsky, a former Ukrainian minister and founder of Burisma Holdings, allegedly paid President Joe Biden $5 million and possesses two audio records as insurance to secure the pay-for-play scheme, according to Republican lawmakers. 

"Zlochevsky’s whereabouts today are unknown. Some speculate he is in Monaco, where he reportedly fled in 2019, escaping Ukraine after being suspected of embezzlement. He reportedly bought Cypriot citizenship between 2017 and 2019, according to an investigation by Al Jazeera.

"In 2002, Zlochevsky co-founded Burisma, which allegedly changed owners in 2011 to an offshore Cypriot investment fund. According to the Guardian, from 2010 to 2012, Zlochevsky was Ukraine’s Ecology and Natural Resources Minister and was Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council from April 2012 through February 2014. As the environment minister, some accuse Zlochevsky of handing out gas licenses to his cronies, the British daily newspaper reported.

"In 2016, Zlochevsky was under suspicion of money laundering and public corruption related to Burisma." . . .

California Democrats propose bill to confiscate parents’ children if they oppose gender change -

 American Thinker  "Incredibly, California Democrats are now considering a bill that would cause parents to lose their children in custody disputes if they are against their offspring having irreversible sex changes.

"The bill currently being considered in the legislature would include “a parent's affirmation of the child's gender identity” as a factor in “the health, safety, and welfare” of a child in a custody dispute. The bill is being pushed by state Sen. Scott Wiener, who previously introduced the “sanctuary state” law for child sex changes. The aptly named Wiener also led the push to lessen the state’s penalty for intentionally exposing people to HIV. Quite a guy.

"The bill is coauthored by Assemblywoman Lori Wilson, who is said to be simultaneously pushing a different but related bill that would mandate that foster parents pledge to help their children change genders. Wilson says that a 7-year-old who is “able to articulate that they believe that they are not the same gender as they are biologically” should then have that notion confirmed by their parents. Or guardians. And their teachers. And the world at large." . . .

When are enough Americans going to realize our government is a criminal enterprise? -

Joy Reid must love him

 Patricia McCarthy; American Thinker   "While the mainstream media refuse to report actual facts, our blessed plethora of alternative media are on the job.  They are doing their level best to report the truth of the deep corruption of the Deep State, exacerbated by the preternatural criminality of Joe Biden, his family, and all those in service of the Obama agenda; the anti-constitutional, racially divisive transformation of America.

"No one can deny that the hatred of whites has exploded, having been taught to young people as a moral imperative for many years now.  The myth of white supremacy came to new heights under Obama, the man who revered Jeremiah Wright, a man filled with rage and hatred of America as founded and, of course, white people.  Wright was Obama's mentor.  It was Obama who set us on the course for where we are today.  Biden is just the mind-numbed, moronic tool of Obama's and his communist pals' plan to destroy the United States.  Who installed him as president?  Roaring lions seeking to devour anyone who gets in their way.

 "The devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom to devour." 

—1 Peter 5:8

"Let's skip Obama's history of privilege, his disrespect for his white grandparents who raised him, and his communist indoctrination by an earlier mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, and go directly to his promise to transform America.  He was hugely successful!  He mesmerized his acolytes, his disciples.  We are now essentially a police state with institutions — the FBI, CIA, DOJ, IRS — all operating on the Stalinist model, each an arm of the Marxist/Democrat party.  

"While these so-called progressives have been undermining our constitutional and Judeo-Christian values since the turn of the last century (Woodrow Wilson was their patron saint), it was Obama that took the move toward tyranny from gradual to sudden.  Now we are there.  Surveillance, censorship, and control are their goal, the Constitution be damned." . . .

Mocking Maddow: MSNBC Host Roasted Into Next Week for Saying Network Doesn’t Air 'Untrue Things'

  RedState

"There are few things as rich as when someone who routinely does something turns around and admonishes you for doing it. It’d be like Joe Biden lecturing you on plagiarism, Stormy Daniels sermonizing about ethics, or Adam Schiff getting on a soap box to warn about the “dangers to democracy” when he himself embodies the concept.

"Such was the case Tuesday night when MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow ludicrously claimed her network would never knowingly broadcast things they knew not to be true—despite the obvious evidence that they’ve been doing that exact thing for years.

"Luckily, we have the receipts, which I will get to later.

"But first, let’s let the newscaster, who makes millions despite only appearing once a week on the airwaves, speak for herself. She was discussing former President Donald Trump’s arraignment in the classified documents case and declaring in advance that she would censor his (then) upcoming speech from his Bedminster, N.J. golf club."

The Trump Indictment

 Ann Coulter

"After a DNA-stained blue dress proved he'd lied under oath, every single Supreme Court justice boycotted Clinton's next state of the union address. They'd react the same way to Trump's obstruction today. "

"Last week's indictment of Donald Trump is the latest example of why liberals really should have read my book, "Resistance Is Futile." Or Aesop's fable "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." Either one.

"After years of making insane accusations against Trump, from Russian collusion to indicting him for misdemeanor record-keeping errors in his blackmail payments to a porn star, liberals finally have him dead to rights committing serious felonies. And no one believes them.

"It's your own fault, liberals.

"Much to my surprise, the documents Trump had spirited away to Mar-a-Lago were not cheesy souvenirs appealing to his juvenile sensibility, like Shaquille O'Neal's shoe or a picture with Kim Kardashian.

No, the documents he'd stuffed in Mar-a-Lago's ballroom, bathroom and shower (among other highly secure locations) included information about our nuclear weapons programs, the defense capabilities of the U.S. and other countries, potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to military attack, and plans for possible retaliation.

"As Trump's Attorney General Bill Barr said in an interview with "Fox News Sunday," these were "among the most sensitive secrets the country has."

"Plans to attack Iran drawn up by the Pentagon are NOT -- as alleged in Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal five days after the indictment was released -- "newspapers, press clippings, letters, notes, cards, [and] photographs [gathered by President Trump]." (Good to see the Dominion lawsuit has forced Murdoch's companies to start being honest with conservatives!)" . . .

Brittney Griner discovers a love of country after her ordeal

 Cory Franklin (jewishworldreview.com)  "Irish poet and playwright Oscar Wilde once wrote that ”life imitates art far more often than art imitates life.” A perfect illustration of that aphorism is the story of WNBA star Brittney Griner, with its enriching theme about patriotism rediscovered.

"In 2019, Griner, a seven-time WNBA All-Star and two-time Olympic gold medalist, made news when she ventured outside the sports pages and opined that the WNBA should stop playing the national anthem before games.

"To highlight a veiled critique of America, she vowed not to leave the locker room when the anthem was being performed. In an interview with The Arizona Republic, she said, ”I honestly feel we should not play the national anthem during our season. I think we should take that much of a stand.”

"The story took an unexpected turn last year, when she was arrested at the Moscow airport for having a vape cartridge containing hashish oil in her luggage. After languishing for almost 10 months in a Russian prison, she was returned to the U.S. as part of a prisoner swap, controversial because she was traded for a notorious Russian arms dealer.

"That is life; where is art?

"While Griner was in the Russian prison, her plight resembled that of a fictional character, Philip Nolan, the protagonist of an 1863 short story by Edward Everett Hale, ”The Man Without a Country.” In the story, which is an appeal for national unity during the Civil War, Nolan is an Army officer who becomes involved in an 1807 plot to overthrow the U.S. government. Captured, tried and convicted of treason, Nolan excoriates the assembled crowd in the courtroom before being sentenced, ”Damn the United States! I wish I may never hear of her again!”

"The judge takes Nolan at his word, literally, and sentences him to spend the rest of his life aboard Navy warships, banning him from ever setting foot in the country again. The crew of every ship Nolan shuttles between is ordered not to mention the United States to him and to cut out every article about America in the newspapers and books provided to him. Each time he inquires about the United States, the men on the ship must remain silent.

"For the next 55 years, Nolan is a man without a country, something akin to Griner's situation before the prisoner swap saved her from a nine-year sentence in a tiny, miserable Russian cell." . . .

The footage shows Griner, 32, inside a warehouse at the IK-2 female penal colony in Mordovia. She was moved to the penal colony, which is located roughly seven hours from Moscow, in mid-November.
