So, there it is. Doug Jones wins the Senate seat in Alabama. What Went Wrong: Republicans backed Roy Moore in the wrong way. By denying the accusations, we looked like the deniers, because we were. The fact of the matter is the accusations are credible. As hard as it is to hear that, it is just true. Between multiple women ...

Petition to: Senate/House Judiciary/Oversight Committees and others, For some time, I have observed the interplay between Congress and Attorney General Sessions, FBI Director Wray, and former FBI Director Comey that causes me pause. The impression I have is that those individuals are not cooperating with Congress’ power of oversight to the point that their conduct may constitute obstruction of justice ...

I watched the interplay between FBI Director Christopher Wray and members of the House Judiciary Committee on December 7, 2017. It appears to me that Director Wray was raising the “Independent Inspector General” as a foil against Congress’ oversight power. I ask that Director Wray forthrightly be informed that Congress has access to any and all information possessed by the ...

CONGRESS’ POWERS AND OBLIGATIONS RE: SALT DEDUCTION POWERS In 1936, our Supreme Court succinctly and elegantly answered the question of powers in our government: “The question is not what power the Federal Government ought to have but what powers, in fact, have been given by the people. It hardly seems necessary to reiterate that ours is a dual form of ...

There’s been much talk lately about tax breaks for Americans but not allowing the “rich” to get any, and there’s been much talk about giving tax breaks to “small businesses”, which I’m in favor of. Forgotten in all of this is that every person and every family in the United States, regardless of how much they earn and how wealthy ...

Beltway superhero and K Street golden boy Paul Ryan has broken with President Trump over the pardon of Barack Obama’s hated political enemy Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Ryan joined with Arizona Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake in condemning Trump’s decision to spare an aging patriot who has served his country well despite what many feel were overzealous tactics to keep ...

If there is one positive in the overwrought reaction to Charlottesville by the media and the sudden rush to eliminate Confederate statues, it is that the ugly racist undertone that exists within the left towards the election of President Trump has been laid bare. As the months have churned on, it is virtually impossible to not see that a good ...

The Democrat clown car has now jumped the track, smashed into the wall and is burning out of control as Trump Derangement Syndrome rages through Congress. Having spent months trying to run President Donald Trump out of office on evidence-free allegations that his campaign colluded with the Kremlin to give Hillary the shaft, the loons that comprise the blue jackass ...

President Donald Trump has really whacked the hornet’s nest now. In a Thursday morning tweet, the POTUS laid the blame for increasing hostilities with Russia squarely at the feet of a crooked Congress which is exactly where it belongs. Our relationship with Russia is at an all-time & very dangerous low. You can thank Congress, the same people that can't ...

In all the discussion of the shooting during Republican practice for the Congressional baseball game, I was struck by the fact no one thought it odd that none of the other participants tried to help seriously wounded Rep. Steve Scalise to safety. They knew he was hurt. They saw the trail of blood as he tried to drag himself off ...

The families of the war dead who were visiting Arlington National Cemetery on the Fourth of July to honor their memories were deprived of one thing thanks to a ridiculous law. The American flag.

You have to give it to Congressman Jason Chaffetz, he has some serious chutzpah. The retiring Utah Republican is calling for taxpayers to cough up an additional $2,500 per month for members of Congress as a housing stipend. That would be a total of $30,000 per year for all 535 lawmakers. According to the outgoing House Oversight Committee chairman, it’s ...

As a passionate advocate for making America great again, it’s frustrating to see the lackluster fashion in which legislation is being passed by our representatives today. The problem is rooted in Congress, but, not the legislative process itself.  What’s going on? What has the Republican controlled House and Senate been able to pass? In general relatively little. I can’t name ...

The Democrats continued their losing streak on Thursday when Republican Greg Gianforte prevailed to win the race for the open House seat in Montana’s special election. Gianforte’s victory was the latest in a series of crushing blows for a party that has lost its way politically and has degenerated into a leaderless pack of conspiracy theorists, hatemongers, and babbling fools ...
