Chaos in the House Oversight Committee. Lauren Boebert makes the sign of the cross.

The House Freedom Caucus boots Marjorie Taylor Greene
Apparently the Trumpiest wing of the GOP doesn’t like their fellow Trumpers calling Lauren Boebert a “little bitch.” Here is Politico: Why was Greene removed? Though tensions were already brewing within the Freedom Caucus, the formal vote came shortly after Greene […]
Was Trump really impeached twice?

Marjorie Taylor Greene compares Trump to Nelson Mandela and Jesus
Greene may have a different view of Holy Week:
What does Marjorie Taylor Greene want?
She wants more than committee assignments in the 118th Congress. She wants power. Here is Jonathan Swan and Catie Edmondson at The New York Times: Days after he won his gavel in a protracted fight with hard-right Republicans, Speaker Kevin […]

It’s time to drain the swamp
I knew Trump’s catchphrase, “drain the swamp” would one day be good for something. Those watching the January 6th hearings are witnessing the machinations of the most corrupt president in American history and the people who stood with him and […]
At least Marjorie Taylor Greene believes Christian nationalism exists
She makes no bones about it. She is a Christian nationalist. Watch: It is worth noting that this is a different rhetorical strategy from the one employed by Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano. Here is a taste of Eliza Griswold’s […]

Last night Biden delivered a solid State of the Union Address. Not great. Nothing to write home about. But solid. It was the speech the country needed this week. I give credit to Joe Biden for his effort to find […]
