FOX News anchor Maria Bartiromo held nothing back as she confronted Congressman Russell Fry (R-SC) during an interview, expressing her frustration—and that of the public—at the inaction of the GOP lawmakers and lack of accountability amid the ongoing witch hunts against former President Donald Trump. As Trump faces these politically motivated witch hunts—with nearly 100 felony counts across four jurisdictions—Bartiromo voiced the exasperation of a public weary of what they see as political theater without substantial outcomes. The counts against Trump carry a potential for roughly 700 years of combined incarceration.

Mega Dittos, Maria. FINALLY someone with a media platform is saying this. Trump is on his own, as clever Congress critters and an occasional senator write legalistic letters and then puff themselves up on TV saying how tough they are being on Biden and company. Ya know, had a bunch of friends in for dinner last night and we were discussing just this thing. And I said, I love Jim Jordan but he is turning into Trey Gowdy. A BIG disappointment. Y'all remember how we thought Trey Gowdy would finally get some justice, get something done when he became Chair of the Oversight Committee. Yeah well, all we got, and all the country got was a big fat nothing. But, Trey baby, got a nice gig on FOX. We always say this, but imagine if this was Biden, an actual criminal, being treated this way. From day one, Democrats would be out in front of the Capitol every single day, demanding justice and supporting their hair sniffing, vile boy. They wouldn't have time to write ridiculous letters. Maria, please stay on top of this and ask every single republican elected official you have on your show, including Ted Cruz, who is on every week, why they are not organized and screaming from the rooftops, the injustice being perpetrated on Donald J. Trump and we, the American people.

Good going, Maria! The Pubbies will now snap into action - - rearranging their chairs in the congressional lounges - - refilling the toner in the copying machines - - and finding a new supplier for their non-dairy coffee lightener. No one can ever call the Pubbies lazy, feckless losers now!

Good for you, Maria. So, any interest in running for the job at the Resolute Desk this year, Maria? Or you want Tucker to be your VP? Meanwhile, same o, same o, from Rep. Fry who says the pubbies are doing everything they can. Working hard. Staying up late trying to preserve America. Passing good legislation every day while none of the pubbies know how to find a microphone and a camera. So, Rep. Fry, when will we see some results, sir, for stopping this lurch toward dim-driven leftism? Afterall, you and your fellow pubbies are in the House majority while the dims are in the minority, yet they treat you pubbies like you are in the minority. Where is the leadership and killer instinct, Rep. Fry? In case you haven't noticed, Rep. Fry, America, as founded, is dying. Right before your eyes, sir. Do you even care? Thoughts about your children? Where are your rants at 2am in the morning to save America, as founded, for God's sake?

#1, you may be frustrated with Gowdy, but if it had not been for him uncovering Hillary's non-government, illegal, and op-sec busting email and bathroom computer server, we would have had Hillary for president instead of Donald Trump. I will Gowdy his flowers. Most of the elected officials are just too old to have enough energy to lead the huge effort that would be required. And then there is fact that they don't have moral courage, even if they had the energy.

We only control the House and barely that. We are the minority party in the Senate and Maria seems to have forgotten that we don't have a GOP President so we have ZERO control of the entire executive bureaucracy. That means we are limited to passing House bills to nowhere and investigations with no possibility of anything happening no matter what is found. This is why electing Trump MUST be accompanied by also controlling the House AND the Senate.

IMHO, this is the reason: the Repubcapons want PDJT gone, almost as much as the Commiecrats do. It's because they hate that he shows them up, since he is an extremely effective leader, a true Patriot, and a Great American. Things they might wish they were, but cannot be. So they shuffle papers, mouth platitudes and excuses, and hope no one notices their failure.

Rehoboth Beach, Del.— Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday delivered some of the Biden administration’s strongest public criticism yet of Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza, saying Israeli tactics have meant “a horrible loss of life of innocent civilians” but failed to neutralize Hamas leaders and fighters and could drive a lasting insurgency. In a pair of TV interviews, Blinken underscored that the United States believes Israeli forces should “get out of Gaza,” but also is waiting to see credible plans from Israel for security and governance in the territory after the war. Hamas has reemerged in parts of Gaza, Blinken said, and “heavy action” by Israeli forces
