"There's nothing like it in the history of America. We've never had a family that has influence-pedaled to this degree," Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), said on Monday. He was talking to Fox News's Sean Hannity about the millions of dollars the Biden family received, through Hunter Biden, from foreign adversaries of the United States. Comer, the incoming chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, also broke some news on Hannity's show: (Video)

This is all a by-product of the '92 election and Ross Perot. That election ushered in the Clinton graft machine and Arkansas-style profiteering-without-consequence-or-shame to the US government. Why stop now?

#5, the Clintions were smart enough to postpone their payments to them until they left the White House. The depths of corruption of the Biden Crime Family took place during Dementia Jo's Senate service, some from the credit card companies and banks operating in Delaware. When Dementia Jo's adulterous wife wanted a mansion, he sold his house, at way above market rates, to a CEO of a credit card company. Dementia Jo brags that he and his family go to ritzy places for Thanksgiving, at mansions. Is that a bribe>>?? I will abstain from repeating the facs about the entire Biden Crime Family. That is a matter of public record. They have compromised the federal governement, including the Secret Service, CIA, FBI, and DOJ. And if they are not stopped, every future presidential election will be a contest betrween crime families. And we will become a third world country.

Who gives a damn anymore what any of these all talk republican clowns in Congress say what there going to do to fight against the communist death democrats. After this travesty of an election the republican party is dead to me. They are all part of the Uniparty which is controlled by the Communist Death Democrats. Look no longer to the republicans to really fight against our enemies that are destroying our Republic and trying to enslave us. The republicans in Congress are led by that lying traitorous dog McConnell in the Senate and his fellow cur McCarthy in the House. That tells us all what will really happen going forward. The republican party needs to go the way of the Whigs.

San Francisco has shelved its plans for killer police robots, as city supervisors voted down the controversial policy following widespread criticism. "In a complete reversal, the Board of Supervisors just voted for a military equipment policy that bans police from using robots to kill," board member Dean Preston tweeted Tuesday. "Thank you to all the residents and civil rights advocates who made their voices heard!" San Francisco's board of supervisors voted Tuesday to pause the program that would allow the city's police department to use 17 robots, armed with explosives, to kill people in "potentially deadly force situations,"

Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) said Tuesday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that he is worried the Republican controlled House will hold “crazy hearings” attacking President Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Anchor Wolf Blitzer said, “You said in the past, senator, you would support a 2024 run for President Biden. Given where things stand now, do you still feel that way?” Booker said, “Oh, very strongly if the president makes the decision to run. I don’t think we can point to any president, maybe going back to LBJ that a president has had as much of a successful two years.

Joe Biden traveled to Phoenix, Arizona, on Tuesday. Was he finally taking that long-called-for, first trip to the border? No such luck. As we reported, shortly before he left, he was asked why wouldn’t he be visiting the border. His response? There are “more important things going on.” (Tweet/Video) There you have it, right there. He doesn’t give a rip about the border invasion, our border towns and resources being overwhelmed, the flood of illegal aliens, or the crime and drugs imported by the cartels harming and killing Americans. None of that matters to him.

The owner of a Philadelphia gas station recently reported hiring a security team armed with AR-15s, and shotguns and decked out in Kevlar vests as he fights to combat the city's ongoing crime crisis. Neil Patel, who oversees a Karco gas station in North Philadelphia, said he hired state S.I.T.E. agents to protect his employees and customers after several recent incidents during which his store was ransacked. Patel told a local Fox outlet that criminals are 'forcing us to hire the security, high-level security, state-level.' 'We are tired of this nonsense; robbery, drug trafficking, hanging around, gangs,' he added.

Just in time for Christmas, actor Kirk Cameron joined the stable of Brave Book authors with a newly released children’s book he hopes will help “fight back” against the “toxic ideas” indoctrinating America’s youth. No matter the denials, instances of Marxist ideologies being taught throughout the K-12 government education system are widespread and, worse yet, contrary voices are being removed. As such, Cameron, who has made inroads combating secularism (arguably a religion unto itself) through the promotion of homeschooling and his project the American Campfire Revival (ACR), teamed up with the conservative publisher to rebuild “love for God, love for family, and love for country.”

Speaking on CNBC's Squawk Box Tuesday, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon admitted that theft has become a major issue for the chain known for its low prices, saying woke district attorneys' lenient policies need to be 'corrected.'

New York is poised to become the sixth state to legalize ‘human composting’ — which sees people turned into soil. For $7,000, bodies are decomposed in 'coffins' for two months before the resulting soil is handed to loved ones to sprinkle over rose patches, trees or a nature reserve. It has already been legalized in California, Colorado, Oregon, Vermont and Washington, with more than 200 Americans opting for the process to date. And the latest eco-craze is surging in popularity with the center pioneering human composting — Recompose — tripling in size in just two years. They now have 1,200 people on the ‘waiting’ list.

The Justice Department announced plans to monitor the Georgia Senate runoff election between Sen. Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker in four counties to ensure federal voting rights are protected on Tuesday. Monitors from the department’s Civil Rights Division and U.S. Attorney’s Office will be dispatched on Tuesday to Cobb County, Fulton County, Gwinnett County and Macon-Bibb County. Election day monitors were a point of contention in some states during last month’s midterm election. State officials from Florida and Missouri rejected the Justice Department’s plan to send monitors to counties in their states, arguing the department did not clearly state a reason to do so.

The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear a case alleging that Facebook and Dominion Voting Systems had an illegal and undue influence on the 2020 elections. The court rejected the appeal from eight Americans without comment. The group was led by Kevin O’Rourke and had lost two previous rounds in court. In May, U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Tymkovich rejected the suit. The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals followed suit, leading to the request for the Supreme Court’s intervention, according to The Hill. In their bid to have the case reviewed, O’Rouke and his other plaintiffs explained their purpose.

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) won reelection Tuesday, fending off a spirited challenge from Republican Herschel Walker while helping Democrats grow their thin Senate majority in the midterm elections after a bruising four-week runoff campaign. Warnock was leading Walker 50.4% to 49.6% when the race was called, earning the senator his first, full six-year term after ousting an appointed Republican incumbent in a special election runoff nearly two years ago. Walker’s defeat was a major blow to the Republicans. They capped a disappointing midterm election season with yet another loss that effectively surrendered a Senate seat to the Democrats, who saw their majority grow from 50 to 51.

Some New York lawmakers are renewing the push for a state law that would lay the groundwork to pay reparations to black residents whose ancestors were enslaved. Proponents gained steam after a task force in California last week recommended that the Golden State shell out $569 billion in reparations to slaves’ descendents there, or $223,200 apiece, because of lingering housing discrimination practices. A previously proposed New York measure called for creating a commission to study the impact of slavery and providing reparations but failed to pass the legislature. It is now being revised, backers said.

Reports surfaced two weeks ago that Florida Republicans are considering changing the state’s “resign-to-run” law so Governor Ron DeSantis could throw his hat in the ring for the 2024 presidential nomination without losing his governorship. It is one sign among many that DeSantis, or those close to him, are thinking about taking on Donald Trump in the primary. A word of warning and wisdom to DeSantis: Don’t do it. DeSantis is a promising politician with a real future on the national scene. He should want to be president. But not yet. DeSantis needs to understand his true self-interest. Running for president in 2024 isn’t it.
