GOP Lawmaker Says Trump ‘Lost His Mind’ July 18, 2022 at 1:32 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 86 Comments
Retiring Rep. Chris Jacobs (R-NY) told the Buffalo News that former President Donald Trump “lost his mind” between Election Day 2020 and Jan. 6, 2021, called on the Republican Party to choose someone else as its presidential nominee in 2024.
Said Jacobs: “I think it would be best for the party if we embrace the new generation of leadership.”
Under its protective mission, the Secret Service’s two most important responsibilities are to protect the president and the vice president. Those duties, shockingly, came into conflict on January 6th when Donald Trump’s pressure campaign against Mike Pence culminated in a mob attack on the U.S. Capitol. The president put the vice president’s life in danger.
To fully understand the events of that day, it’s imperative to know what the Secret Service did under such unprecedented circumstances. And the need for this information has only been heightened in recent weeks by disturbing revelations about three specific issues agents and officials would have insights on:
The communications the Secret Service had with Trump about the weapons his rallygoers possessed and Trump’s desire to remove the security magnetometers at the rally so more of his supporters could be allowed in.An alleged altercation that occurred in Trump’s motorcade between Trump and his staff after Trump was denied his request to be transported to the Capitol.Pence’s refusal to allow the Secret Service to whisk him away from the Capitol after the mob breached its doors. Pence’s aide Greg Jacob chillingly testified last month that Pence told Tim Giebels, his lead Secret Service agent, “I trust you, but you’re not the one behind the wheel.”
Matthew Pottinger, who served on former President Donald Trump’s National Security Council before resigning in the immediate aftermath of January 6, 2021, will testify publicly at Thursday’s prime-time hearing held by the House select committee investigating the US Capitol attack, according to multiple sources familiar with the plans.
Pottinger is slated to appear alongside former Trump White House aide Sarah Matthews.
CNN previously reported that Matthews, who resigned from her post on January 6, was expected to testify publicly.
Committee members have said Thursday’s hearing will examine Trump’s inaction for 187 minutes while the US Capitol riot was unfolding.
A spokesperson for the committee declined to comment. A spokesperson for Pottinger did not respond to CNN’s request for comment.
The two witnesses will add to the committee’s narrative in its eighth, and possibly final, hearing this summer. The prime-time hearing will detail what Trump did — or did not do — during several hours that day as his supporters beat police officers and broke into the Capitol.
Why it matters: Pottinger is a significant witness for the committee to showcase. He's highly respected on both sides of the aisle and worked for former President Trump from the start of his administration until Pottinger resigned in the immediate aftermath of the Capitol riot.
CNN first reported that Pottinger was expected to testify publicly.
Between the lines: Pottinger wasn't in the Oval Office or around Trump on Jan. 6, 2021, but he is an extremely credible witness and a former member of the highest echelons of the Trump administration.
As Axios' Jonathan Swan detailed in his Off the Rails series last year, which documented the unraveling of Trump's final weeks in office, Pottinger immediately packed up his belongings and quit after learning of the escalation of the attack on the Capitol.
The backdrop: Pottinger, a former journalist, was brought onto Trump's National Security Council by former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
If we learned conclusively that Joe Biden’s leftist handlers were indeed supplying the addled, cognitively-challenged President of the United States with drugs that allow him to somewhat function — marginally, at best — on a daily basis, who among us would be the least bit surprised? (Tally: zero hands raised.)
Or, this news flash: What if we also learned Barack Obama is running Joe’s White House?
While the notion of Obama as the master puppeteer of his former vice president has been popular among Republicans from day one of Biden’s presidency, if not before — although I’ve tended to believe it’s a shadowy character like Susan Rice —Biden’s steady decline has not only become more and more obvious during his every public appearance; Democrat leaders are becoming increasingly terrified.
As my colleague Nick Arama reported on Saturday, Fox News host Tucker Carlson recently claimed Biden is cognitively unable to serve and Democrats have known it for years. As Nick also reported last Wednesday, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) — who also served as the White House physician to Obama, Donald Trump, and George W. Bush — received an angry letter from Obama after the Texas congressman began to raise questions about Biden’s cognitive state during the 2020 presidential campaign.
Anyway, Maria Bartiromo, host of Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” kicked it up a notch or two during a segment with Jackson, suggesting not only that Biden’s handlers are “feeding him drugs to allow him to function” — but also that Barack Obama is indeed running the White House.
Well, I mean, congressman, there were signs that Joe Biden was declining during the 2020 campaign. I mean, let’s face it. He stayed in the basement the whole time during the campaign.
So who knew what when? Are they hiding this and feeding him drugs to allow him to function? I know he goes home to Delaware a lot, more than any other president.
So I guess my question is, what did Obama know? What did Jill Biden know? And who’s running the White House right now and are they covering up for these mental issues?
Welp, that got all Watergate-ish, quickly, didn’t it? Simply an observation; I’m not suggesting Bartiromo’s questions and insinuations weren’t warranted — they were. That said, speculation is not facts.
It should be noted that Tucker Carlson and Maria Bartiromo were far from the first to question Biden’s cognitive decline and his fitness for the rigors of the presidency.
As RedState reported in early July, even The New York Times — the bastion of liberal groupthink — is now openly questioning Biden’s mental competency. In an article titled At 79, Biden Is Testing the Boundaries of Age and the Presidency, The Times noted that although Biden continues to insist he plans to run for a second term, “his age has become an uncomfortable issue for him and his party.”
The bottom line:
If a tougher “between a rock and a hard place” scenario exists anywhere in national politics that comes even close to the predicament facing the Democrat Party, as we speak, I am unaware of its existence.
From left-wing groups launching “Dump Biden” campaigns to growing numbers of Democrat lawmakers openly distancing themselves from the embattled president, reports continue to surface of a behind-the-scenes plan to dump the most inept president in history well ahead of the 2024 election season.
Then what? Word-salad queen Kamala Harris? What on earth are the Democrats going to do about her — not only until the end of Biden’s term if he is ousted, but as the 2024 Democrat primary season rolls around?
Hell, what should the Republicans do? Help the Democrats kick Biden to the curb if the 25th Amendment becomes the only Democrat option? Or should Republicans vote against removing Biden from office because he’s the best in-kind advertisement to come down the political pike in decades?
Politics. Don’t you love it, and kinda hate it, at the same time?
"I am hoping that almost all of your responses are a resounding “no” to Biden running again. I can’t imagine who would feel comfortable with a person of his age and unpopularity. So often, when people grasp at names for the next president, they come up with those who have recently made headlines, disconnected to any qualifications or interest in the position. So the name Amy Klobuchar is not tossed around. She’s simply in the trenches, quietly getting the work done. She’s a liberal who tracks as moderate and has a pristine record, aside from supposedly throwing a comb at someone. That this was ever an issue was par for the course for the 2020 election cycle. Klobuchar not only has the toughness and smarts needed to spar in what will surely be an outstandingly ugly campaign, but she has the personality to connect with the working class and those scared off by the liberal fringe. I do fear that this country is still sexist enough to reject a qualified woman who has proven herself many times over, but if anyone can reach the average Democratic voter and pull some over from the other side, it is her."
The heat wave wreaking havoc on Western Europe signals the arrival of a new era: extreme heat events that would have been virtually impossible without human-caused global warming are now a deadly reality.
Why it matters: The fact that we've arrived at this point — with deadly extreme heat virtually shutting down major industrialized nations, but without changing course to curb greenhouse gas emissions — is depressing and baffling to the scientists who have been warning about this moment for years.
Driving the news: Temperatures are forecast to soar above 104°F in the U.K. today. Such temperatures can prove deadly even to healthy individuals.
The U.K. saw its third-hottest day on record earlier this week. According to climate scientist Simon Lee, 3 of the 4 hottest days in UK history have occurred during the last 4 years.Parts of France are also experiencing record highs, with temperatures in the southwest climbing to 108.68°F on Monday.At the same time, massive wildfires have been burning in southwest France and also in Spain and Portugal, displacing thousands.
Context: Climate scientists have long warned of the tie between increasing global average temperatures due to human burning of fossil fuels for energy and an increased risk of extreme heat events.
What they're saying: This heat wave has left some climate scientists shaken and dejected at how prescient their warnings were, yet how little the global agenda has changed, with greenhouse gases still building up in the atmosphere and no signs of an imminent, sharp course correction.
"As a human, my heart breaks that we have not mustered the political will to meet the climate crisis with the urgency that is required," said Andrea Dutton, a climate researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, via email."My scientific mind understands that this summer will be one of the coolest for the rest of our lifetimes unless we decide to treat the climate crisis like the emergency that it is. What seems horrific today will seem mild in comparison to what is to come - unless we take our opportunity to act now," Dutton said.Michael Wehner, who specializes in studying heat extremes at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, said the early research connecting heat wave severity to greenhouse gas emissions is now more than two decades old."
A new survey found Latino Catholics overwhelmingly support abortion rights. Here’s why.
With Roe v. Wade overturned, new data from the Washington, D.C.-based Public Religion Research Institute found that among Latino Catholics, 75% say abortion should be legal in most or all cases. That’s a big jump from the 51% who said so in 2010. By Alejandra Molina
Catholicism will always be part of Leonor Villanueva’s life, even though she stopped regularly attending Mass when her parish began hosting anti-abortion speakers toward the end of service.
Villanueva recites Catholic prayers and honors family celebrations like baptisms and quinceañeras. And she still sees herself as Catholic, even though she disagrees with Catholic teaching about abortion and homosexuality.
“I can still have my faith without listening to what the church says,” Villanueva, 46, a Mexican American from California’s Central Valley, said.
Villanueva is far from alone.
With Roe v. Wade overturned, new data from the Washington, D.C.-based Public Religion Research Institute found that among Latino Catholics, 75% say abortion should be legal in most or all cases. That’s a big jump from the 51% who said so in 2010.
RELATED: Survey: Post-Roe, White evangelicals remain outliers on abortion laws
By contrast, a quarter of white evangelicals support legal abortion after the Roe reversal. Almost all white evangelical respondents said they’d like to see abortion banned after 15 weeks, and more than half said providing an abortion should be a felony.
As far as I am concerned Bannon is a traiitor who should be shot, drawn and quartered with his body parts spread at Mar s Lago just like yours should be Lil Schitty.......as the earth burns with GW, our denier of everything thinks those who believe are dumb while he saunders along in his trump fog of stupidity!!!!!!!!

January 6 Committee Extends Inquiry July 19, 2022 at 7:20 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 2 Comments
“The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol, which had planned to finish its inquiry by September, will instead keep operating beyond that because more information keeps coming in,” Bloomberg reports.
Politico: “Committee members, aides and allies are emboldened by the public reaction to the information they’re unearthing about the former president’s actions and say their full sprint will continue, even past November. The only hard deadline, they say, is Jan. 3, 2023, when Republicans likely take over the House.”
Russia and Iran Grow Closer In Their Isolation July 19, 2022 at 7:40 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment
“Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, arrives in Iran on Tuesday for a rare international visit that emphasizes how the two countries are becoming more aligned amid their isolation from Europe and the United States,” the New York Times reports.
“The Kremlin is eager to show the world — and its own people — that it still has friends, despite the global opprobrium over the war in Ukraine. That is giving Iran a new opportunity to stimulate its sanctions-starved economy, with Russian businesses that had been focused on trade with the West now racing to find new markets and suppliers.”
The Independent notes that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will also travel to Tehran to meet with Putin.
LONDON (AP) — Britain shattered its record for highest temperature ever registered Tuesday amid a heat wave that has seized swaths of Europe — and the national weather forecaster predicted it would get hotter still in a country ill prepared for such extremes.
The typically temperate nation was just the latest to be walloped by unusually hot, dry weather that has gripped the continent since last week, triggering wildfires from Portugal to the Balkans and leading to hundreds of heat-related deaths. Images of flames racing toward a French beach and Britons sweltering — even at the seaside — have driven home concerns about climate change.
The U.K. Met Office registered a provisional reading of 40.2 degrees Celsius (104.4 degrees Fahrenheit) at Heathrow Airport — breaking the record set just an hour earlier. Before Tuesday, the highest temperature recorded in Britain was 38.7 C (101.7 F), a record set in 2019.
We stand on opposite sides of the partisan divide, but we believe it is better to search for solutions together than to remain divided. This is particularly true of a vexing problem that could wreak havoc during the 2024 presidential election: the inadequacy of the Electoral Count Act of 1887.
The act is an antiquated, muddled and potentially unconstitutional law that allows uncertainty during a critical step in the peaceful transfer of power. The act became law 10 years after several states submitted competing slates of electoral votes during the disputed Reconstruction-era election of 1876. It spawned no controversy for the next 30 presidential elections.
Weaknesses in the law started to become apparent after the 2000 election. On Jan. 6, 2001, as well as in 2005 and 2017, some members of the losing candidates’ political party objected to electoral slates from some states. In 2021, the ambiguities of that law helped lead to the violent assault on the U.S. Capitol as efforts were being made to toss out several states’ slates of electoral votes.
Other questions should be addressed: Under what circumstances can a state legislature choose electors if a disaster disrupts voting? What would be the proper response if a governor certified the slate of the candidate finishing second in the state’s popular vote? What should a state do if a county’s officials refuse to certify election results so the state’s count is incomplete? What happens if a state sends competing slates of electors to Congress?
The two of us have a long history of sorting out difficult challenges together. We co-chaired the 2005 Commission on Federal Election Reform, a bipartisan group that took politics out of the difficult job of finding middle ground in the way our nation conducts elections. No side got everything it wanted, and the debate occasionally grew heated. But by listening to one another, we found agreement on tough issues. Lawmakers should be able to do the same.
The need to reform the Electoral Count Act is too great for our elected leaders to get bogged down in the zero-sum game of politics that characterizes Washington today. There will be a time and place to debate important proposals addressing voter access and turnout, ballot security and other election-related issues. But such competing efforts should not be included in current talks about reforming the Electoral Count Act. Doing so would be a recipe for gridlock and failure.
Reforming the Electoral Count Act would help our nation avoid a repeat of the disaster that occurred on Jan. 6, 2021.
Mr. Carter served as president of the United States, 1977-81. Mr. Baker served as U.S. secretary of state, 1989-92.
Nine staffers from CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert arrested for trespassing in the U.S. Capitol last month will not be prosecuted, government lawyers said Monday.
Declaring a national climate emergency, as The Washington Post reports Biden is considering in response to the apparent demise of his efforts to get measures cutting America’s climate emissions approved by Congress, would certainly generate headlines. But what exactly would it do?
The Post’s report underline the ambiguities associated with the move:
It is unclear how, exactly, Biden plans to proceed if he opts to declare a climate emergency, which Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) urged him to do just days after the president took office last year.
Some climate activists have urged the White House in recent months to deploy an emergency declaration to maximum effect, arguing that it would allow the president to halt crude oil exports, limit oil and gas drilling in federal waters, and direct agencies including the Federal Emergency Management Agency to boost renewable-energy sources.
The sad truth is that America is behind where it needs to be when it comes to keeping the planet from experiencing the worst effects of rising temperatures, and even if Biden had gotten his Build Back Better plan through Congress, it wouldn’t have been enough, as the below story from last October makes clear:
The Build Back Better plan will put America on track to meet its goals, but it must not be the only action congress takes to combat the climate crisis, said congresswoman Kathy Castor, a Florida Democrat and chair of the House select committee on the climate crisis. More federal action is needed to meet the scale of the emergency, she said.
“Even if we pass the Build Back Better Act as it is, that doesn’t get us to net-zero by 2050, which is the goal,” she said in an interview. Pointing to the latest climate research and a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that declared a “code red” for humanity, she added: “We are going to have to do more.”
Build Back Better is now dead, and it’s unclear if the executive actions Biden says he will now resort to will be anywhere near as effective as his unrealized proposals to curb climate change.
A historic and deadly heat wave has been scorching western Europe, killing hundreds in Spain and Portugal. Temperatures spiked to 115 degrees on the Iberian Peninsula amid bone-dry conditions, fueling wildfires and displacing thousands of people in France. The mercury topped 100 degrees (38 Celsius) in Britain on Monday and is expected to surge higher Tuesday.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal prosecutors said Monday they have declined to bring charges against nine people associated with CBS’ “Late Show with Stephen Colbert” who were arrested in a building in the U.S. Capitol complex last month.
The decision, made by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, comes after prosecutors determined they “cannot move forward” with the misdemeanor charges against the nine people arrested June 16 in the Longworth House Office Building. The incident followed the third public hearing by the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.
A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office said it was not probable a conviction could be obtained and sustained given that the nine arrested had been invited and that their escorts had never asked them to leave the building.
Though Capitol Police have refused to provide the names of those who were arrested, a person familiar with the matter provided The Associated Press with a list of nine people who had been stopped by Capitol Police. They included several producers, along with comedian and writer Robert Smigel, the voice behind Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
Capitol Police officials said Monday they respect the decision made by the U.S. attorney’s office.
Michigan Republicans BELIEVE Trump’s Fraud Claims July 19, 2022 at 10:00 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 40 Comments
Detroit News poll: “Republican primary voters surveyed in last week’s poll were told Republican leaders in the state Senate conducted an investigation into claims of fraud in the 2020 election and found there was no evidence of widespread fraud.
“Those surveyed then were asked who they believed: Republican leaders in the state Senate or Trump’s insistence there was widespread fraud in the 2020 election.
“Respondents chose Trump’s claims over the state Senate’s by a margin of 59% to 26%.”
A PARTY BUILT ON SUCH ABYSMAL DEVOTION TO A WOULD BE DICTATOR CANNOT COME TO A GOOD END.
You do understand that you are in THE MINORITY of Americans on the subject of election fraud. Less than half of Americans see election fraud claims as "the big lie".
But it's a clever phrase. I can see why it is easy to fall for!
Obama bought a multi million dollar home on the coast. They don't actual think the seas are rising. No family needs a home that large and preach about energy use.
It will likely be inundated by sea level rise in about 100 to 200 years, if nothing is done to slow it. I don’t think the Obama’s have to worry all that much.
For two reasons: 1) The Democrats will take over and lead the world into sensible climate warming control, and 2) Even if that doesn't happen, they will not be alive in 100 to 200 years.

Context: Climate scientists have long warned of the tie between increasing global average temperatures due to human burning of fossil fuels for energy and an increased risk of extreme heat events.
What they're saying: This heat wave has left some climate scientists shaken and dejected at how prescient their warnings were, yet how little the global agenda has changed, with greenhouse gases still building up in the atmosphere and no signs of an imminent, sharp course correction.
"As a human, my heart breaks that we have not mustered the political will to meet the climate crisis with the urgency that is required," said Andrea Dutton, a climate researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, via email."My scientific mind understands that this summer will be one of the coolest for the rest of our lifetimes unless we decide to treat the climate crisis like the emergency that it is. What seems horrific today will seem mild in comparison to what is to come - unless we take our opportunity to act now," Dutton said.Michael Wehner, who specializes in studying heat extremes at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, said the early research connecting heat wave severity to greenhouse gas emissions is now more than two decades old."

A new survey found Latino Catholics overwhelmingly support abortion rights. Here’s why.
With Roe v. Wade overturned, new data from the Washington, D.C.-based Public Religion Research Institute found that among Latino Catholics, 75% say abortion should be legal in most or all cases. That’s a big jump from the 51% who said so in 2010.

Catholicism will always be part of Leonor Villanueva’s life, even though she stopped regularly attending Mass when her parish began hosting anti-abortion speakers toward the end of service.
Villanueva recites Catholic prayers and honors family celebrations like baptisms and quinceañeras. And she still sees herself as Catholic, even though she disagrees with Catholic teaching about abortion and homosexuality.
“I can still have my faith without listening to what the church says,” Villanueva, 46, a Mexican American from California’s Central Valley, said.
Villanueva is far from alone.
With Roe v. Wade overturned, new data from the Washington, D.C.-based Public Religion Research Institute found that among Latino Catholics, 75% say abortion should be legal in most or all cases. That’s a big jump from the 51% who said so in 2010.
RELATED: Survey: Post-Roe, White evangelicals remain outliers on abortion laws
By contrast, a quarter of white evangelicals support legal abortion after the Roe reversal. Almost all white evangelical respondents said they’d like to see abortion banned after 15 weeks, and more than half said providing an abortion should be a felony.

January 6 Committee Extends Inquiry
July 19, 2022 at 7:20 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 2 Comments
“The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol, which had planned to finish its inquiry by September, will instead keep operating beyond that because more information keeps coming in,” Bloomberg reports.
Politico: “Committee members, aides and allies are emboldened by the public reaction to the information they’re unearthing about the former president’s actions and say their full sprint will continue, even past November. The only hard deadline, they say, is Jan. 3, 2023, when Republicans likely take over the House.”
Russia and Iran Grow Closer In Their Isolation
July 19, 2022 at 7:40 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment
“Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, arrives in Iran on Tuesday for a rare international visit that emphasizes how the two countries are becoming more aligned amid their isolation from Europe and the United States,” the New York Times reports.
“The Kremlin is eager to show the world — and its own people — that it still has friends, despite the global opprobrium over the war in Ukraine. That is giving Iran a new opportunity to stimulate its sanctions-starved economy, with Russian businesses that had been focused on trade with the West now racing to find new markets and suppliers.”
The Independent notes that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will also travel to Tehran to meet with Putin.
According to Lil Schitty and his trump fog....this is not happening and anyone who believes its ate dumber than he is......BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Jimmy Carter and James A Baker |||
LONDON (AP) — Britain shattered its record for highest temperature ever registered Tuesday amid a heat wave that has seized swaths of Europe — and the national weather forecaster predicted it would get hotter still in a country ill prepared for such extremes.
The typically temperate nation was just the latest to be walloped by unusually hot, dry weather that has gripped the continent since last week, triggering wildfires from Portugal to the Balkans and leading to hundreds of heat-related deaths. Images of flames racing toward a French beach and Britons sweltering — even at the seaside — have driven home concerns about climate change.
The U.K. Met Office registered a provisional reading of 40.2 degrees Celsius (104.4 degrees Fahrenheit) at Heathrow Airport — breaking the record set just an hour earlier. Before Tuesday, the highest temperature recorded in Britain was 38.7 C (101.7 F), a record set in 2019.
We stand on opposite sides of the partisan divide, but we believe it is better to search for solutions together than to remain divided. This is particularly true of a vexing problem that could wreak havoc during the 2024 presidential election: the inadequacy of the Electoral Count Act of 1887.
The act is an antiquated, muddled and potentially unconstitutional law that allows uncertainty during a critical step in the peaceful transfer of power. The act became law 10 years after several states submitted competing slates of electoral votes during the disputed Reconstruction-era election of 1876. It spawned no controversy for the next 30 presidential elections.
Weaknesses in the law started to become apparent after the 2000 election. On Jan. 6, 2001, as well as in 2005 and 2017, some members of the losing candidates’ political party objected to electoral slates from some states. In 2021, the ambiguities of that law helped lead to the violent assault on the U.S. Capitol as efforts were being made to toss out several states’ slates of electoral votes.
Other questions should be addressed: Under what circumstances can a state legislature choose electors if a disaster disrupts voting? What would be the proper response if a governor certified the slate of the candidate finishing second in the state’s popular vote? What should a state do if a county’s officials refuse to certify election results so the state’s count is incomplete? What happens if a state sends competing slates of electors to Congress?
The two of us have a long history of sorting out difficult challenges together. We co-chaired the 2005 Commission on Federal Election Reform, a bipartisan group that took politics out of the difficult job of finding middle ground in the way our nation conducts elections. No side got everything it wanted, and the debate occasionally grew heated. But by listening to one another, we found agreement on tough issues. Lawmakers should be able to do the same.
The need to reform the Electoral Count Act is too great for our elected leaders to get bogged down in the zero-sum game of politics that characterizes Washington today. There will be a time and place to debate important proposals addressing voter access and turnout, ballot security and other election-related issues. But such competing efforts should not be included in current talks about reforming the Electoral Count Act. Doing so would be a recipe for gridlock and failure.
Reforming the Electoral Count Act would help our nation avoid a repeat of the disaster that occurred on Jan. 6, 2021.

Dopie goes all Joe Biden on us
"its ate dumber"
I became aware of global warming decades ago, because I read the news and watched a few documentaries on global warming.
Happy Jill Biden is a C*nt Taco Tuesday.
Declaring a national climate emergency, as The Washington Post reports Biden is considering in response to the apparent demise of his efforts to get measures cutting America’s climate emissions approved by Congress, would certainly generate headlines. But what exactly would it do?
The Post’s report underline the ambiguities associated with the move:
It is unclear how, exactly, Biden plans to proceed if he opts to declare a climate emergency, which Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) urged him to do just days after the president took office last year.
Some climate activists have urged the White House in recent months to deploy an emergency declaration to maximum effect, arguing that it would allow the president to halt crude oil exports, limit oil and gas drilling in federal waters, and direct agencies including the Federal Emergency Management Agency to boost renewable-energy sources.
The sad truth is that America is behind where it needs to be when it comes to keeping the planet from experiencing the worst effects of rising temperatures, and even if Biden had gotten his Build Back Better plan through Congress, it wouldn’t have been enough, as the below story from last October makes clear:
The Build Back Better plan will put America on track to meet its goals, but it must not be the only action congress takes to combat the climate crisis, said congresswoman Kathy Castor, a Florida Democrat and chair of the House select committee on the climate crisis. More federal action is needed to meet the scale of the emergency, she said.
“Even if we pass the Build Back Better Act as it is, that doesn’t get us to net-zero by 2050, which is the goal,” she said in an interview. Pointing to the latest climate research and a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that declared a “code red” for humanity, she added: “We are going to have to do more.”
Build Back Better is now dead, and it’s unclear if the executive actions Biden says he will now resort to will be anywhere near as effective as his unrealized proposals to curb climate change.

A historic and deadly heat wave has been scorching western Europe, killing hundreds in Spain and Portugal. Temperatures spiked to 115 degrees on the Iberian Peninsula amid bone-dry conditions, fueling wildfires and displacing thousands of people in France. The mercury topped 100 degrees (38 Celsius) in Britain on Monday and is expected to surge higher Tuesday.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal prosecutors said Monday they have declined to bring charges against nine people associated with CBS’ “Late Show with Stephen Colbert” who were arrested in a building in the U.S. Capitol complex last month.
The decision, made by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, comes after prosecutors determined they “cannot move forward” with the misdemeanor charges against the nine people arrested June 16 in the Longworth House Office Building. The incident followed the third public hearing by the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.
A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office said it was not probable a conviction could be obtained and sustained given that the nine arrested had been invited and that their escorts had never asked them to leave the building.
Though Capitol Police have refused to provide the names of those who were arrested, a person familiar with the matter provided The Associated Press with a list of nine people who had been stopped by Capitol Police. They included several producers, along with comedian and writer Robert Smigel, the voice behind Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
Capitol Police officials said Monday they respect the decision made by the U.S. attorney’s office.

Michigan Republicans BELIEVE Trump’s Fraud Claims
July 19, 2022 at 10:00 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 40 Comments
Detroit News poll: “Republican primary voters surveyed in last week’s poll were told Republican leaders in the state Senate conducted an investigation into claims of fraud in the 2020 election and found there was no evidence of widespread fraud.
“Those surveyed then were asked who they believed: Republican leaders in the state Senate or Trump’s insistence there was widespread fraud in the 2020 election.
“Respondents chose Trump’s claims over the state Senate’s by a margin of 59% to 26%.”
A PARTY BUILT ON SUCH ABYSMAL DEVOTION TO A WOULD BE DICTATOR CANNOT COME TO A GOOD END.
HISTORY WILL NOT BE KIND.
Reverend...
You do understand that you are in THE MINORITY of Americans on the subject of election fraud. Less than half of Americans see election fraud claims as "the big lie".
But it's a clever phrase. I can see why it is easy to fall for!
SAME THING GOES FOR A GOP OF GLOBAL CLIMATE WARMING DENIERS.
History will not be kind to your climate position, Ch.
I wonder how your wife even stands you.
History huh?
History is filled with oppressive regimes trying to control and censor the media and spreading 100% true propaganda that is rejected by the masses...
Because we all know Governments are never corrupt and that it is always the citizens who are rising up for no good reason.
I can think of oh... I don't know... that happening in history (Honest Government but corrupt citizenship)... um.... never!
But there is always a first. That must be the squeaky clean 2020 Democratic Party and their 100% honest membership!
Yeah... just try to write that history without looking oppressive!
Roger, James the question is "Why when you started the Global warnings didn't you do more Roger?"
Answer =
Obama bought a multi million dollar home on the coast.
They don't actual think the seas are rising.
No family needs a home that large and preach about energy use.
The Obamas' new property on Martha's Vineyard. LandVest. Situated on 29.3 waterfront acres near the Edgartown ...$11.4 million.
6,892-square-feet.
A pretty bad investment considering it will all be underwater when those polar ice caps finally melt!
Yes , in the year never.
So the speaker talks about Gorebal Warming , yet:
"Nancy Pelosi owns about $20 million worth of real estate spread throughout nine properties"
Surely , one 2,261 square foot home would be more green.
It will likely be inundated by sea level rise in about 100 to 200 years, if nothing is done to slow it. I don’t think the Obama’s have to worry all that much.
For two reasons:
1) The Democrats will take over and lead the world into sensible climate warming control,
and
2) Even if that doesn't happen, they will not be alive in 100 to 200 years.
Lol@james
Making shit 🤪 up.
James, making excuses for The Biden's, Obimbo and Pelosi living the high life , yet, preaching to everyone else to live on less.
