It’s Friday, January 6th, 2023, the 2nd anniversary of an event which was far more likely an FBI false-flag operation than an insurrection.

But before we begin, our abiding distaste for Kevin McCarthy notwithstanding, this tweet from Florida Congressman Mike Waltz is on point:

Here’s the juice: Were McCarthy willing to ban earmarks, a promise he broke shortly after the 2022 election, we’ve no doubt he’d win a majority of the holdouts’ votes, though whether that would prove enough to ensure the California spendaholic’s election is uncertain.

What is certain is it’s time for the holdouts to fish or cut bait; Which in this case means they either offer an acceptable alternative to McCarthy or get on board and get to work.  While we’d really prefer Jim Jordan and accept Steve Scalise, we have it on good authority the latter isn’t that different than McCarthy, and former doesn’t want the job.

As the Journal‘s Kim Strassel suggests, GOP rebels need to take the win, as new rule changes will restore the House, and further demands are a recipe for chaos.  For as Speed so insightfully observed, purity is great, but not possible without an overwhelming majority.  Fact is, the majority of the rebels don’t realize the realities of politics.

For those interested, NPR provides a look back at the last time this happened.

Now, here’s The Gouge!

First up, this mailer from our MisRepresentative prompted the thought…

…in his gerrymandered district…

…Kweisi Mfume, a.k.a. street hustler-turned-race hustler Frizzell Gerald Gray, represents our interests about as much as Joe Biden.

Since we’re on the subject of those misrepresenting their constituents, if Mitch McConnell wants to use his Senate seat to benefit Kentuckians, fine.  But anyone in a leadership position represents all Republican voters, not just those residing in the Blue Grass State, which makes Kentucky’s favorite fence turtle’s recent photo op with 46* celebrating the infrastructure atrocity, coming on the heels of his enabling the omnibus obscenity, even a bigger slap in the collective face of Conservatives.

Next, Jim Freeman details how CBS continues to promote prognosticators with records of 100% inaccuracy:

Anchorman IV: The Legend Continues

The CBS program “60 Minutes” features a discredited doomsayer.

 

Longtime readers of this column may recall Scott Pelley as the CBS news anchor who bizarrely suggested that an infamous shooting attack on a Congressional baseball practice might have been “self-inflicted.”

This week Mr. Pelley isn’t airing unfair accusations against Republican representatives but against mankind itself, and in its own way the new story he told on “60 Minutes” on Sunday night was just as bizarre. That’s because Mr. Pelley is promoting forecasts of planetary doom even while acknowledging that the doomsday forecaster has a history of being wrong...”

In other words, in the best purposefully prevaricative practices of Dan Rather and Mary Mapes!

Speaking of the deliberatively deceptive, consider this misleading FOX News headline:

Missouri executes transgender woman for 2003 murder of girlfriend

Amber McLaughlin, 49, was convicted of the 2003 first-degree murder of a former girlfriend

 

Except that when “Amber” stalked, raped and murdered the former girlfriend, Beverly Guenther, whose name FOX obviously deems unworthy of headlining, his name was Scott.  He only transitioned when it became apparent an appeals court would likely reinstate his death penalty, leaving anyone with an ounce of sense to conclude it was a ploy based on the hope Missouri would decline the honor of executing the first “transgender” killer.

Here’s to the Show Me State for proving Scott wrong!

How the FBI Hacked Twitter

The answer begins with Russiagate

 

After journalist Matt Taibbi published the first batch of internal Twitter documents known as the Twitter files, he tweeted that the company’s deputy general counsel, James Baker, was vetting them.

“The news that Baker was reviewing the ‘Twitter files’ surprised everyone involved,” Taibbi wrote. That apparently included even Twitter’s new boss, Elon Musk, who added that Baker may have deleted some of the files he was supposed to be reviewing.

Baker had been the top lawyer at the FBI when it interfered in the 2016 presidential election. News that he might have been burying evidence of the spy service’s use of a social media company to interfere with the 2020 election, is rightly setting off alarm bells.

In fact, the FBI’s penetration of Twitter constituted just one part of a much larger intelligence operation—one in which the bureau offshored the machinery it used to interfere in the 2016 election and embedded it within the private sector. The resulting behemoth, still being built today, is a public-private consortium made up of U.S. intelligence agencies, Big Tech companies, civil society institutions, and major media organizations that has become the world’s most powerful spy service—one that was powerful enough to disappear the former president of the United States from public life, and that is now powerful enough to do the same or worse to anyone else it chooses…”

If you’re not concerned now, trust us…

In many another day and time, the likes of Baker would have been drawn, disemboweled and quartered, a practice, in the case of the FBI and many other treasonous bureaucrats…

…we unreservedly favor its reinstitution.

Moving on, here’s a sextet of special selections certain to pique the interest of inquiring Conservative minds:

(1). Matthew Greenwood, 32, and Jeremy Crahan, 40, both of Puyallup, WAwere charged Tuesday in connection with all four substation attacks that occurred in western Washington state over Christmas.  Curiously absent from the account was any hint of motive.

(2). Mere months after suggesting certain New Yorkers flee to Florida, Kathy Hochul, unquestionably…

…is realizing her upside-down economic model depends on them staying.  But she’s missed her chance to solve the Empire State’s fiscal crisis, as NRO‘s John Fund noted in this tweet: “This is so late, it basically counts as never.” 

(3). In a blatant violation of the 1st Amendment, the latest batch of “Twitter Files” revealed Adam Schiff’s office made repeated requests for the suspension of certain accounts the California Dimocrat deemed objectionable.

(4). In another amazing display of either ignorance or hypocrisy, after cancelling the Cowboys for Jerry Jones’ refusal to countenance kneeling for the National Anthem, LeBron James tweeted his support of serial sex-assaulter DeShaun Watson.  Really?!?

Curiouser and curiouser.

(5). We’re no particular fan of The Donald, but when it comes to the family of Brian Sicknick suing Trump over his death, we say…

(6). Adam Kinzinger…half ass, half horse’s ass, all RINO…has found an appropriate landing zone after leaving Illinois’ 11th Congressional District before it left him.  Not even the Air Force deserves the likes of this sorry…

Which brings us, appropriately enough, to The Lighter Side:

Then there’s these from Balls Cotton…

…along with four bon mots from Ed Hickey:

Finally, we’ll call it a wrap with another sordid story straight from the pages of The Crime Blotter, courtesy today of some more of that sh*t you just can’t make up, as a Sunshine State sheriff informs us…

Florida Burglars call 911 to get help moving stuff

 

“…Deputies responded to a home Saturday after a 911 call was made but nobody spoke, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said. At the home, the deputies concluded that nobody lived there, but they found a male suspect and his girlfriend inside the home after entering it through an unlocked door.

Deputies had been searching for the male suspect after identifying him from security video as a burglar at a Dollar General store in Poinciana, Florida, where several items were stolen earlier in the day, the sheriff’s office said in a statement. Poinciana is about 35 miles (55 kilometers) south of Orlando.

While talking to deputies, the female suspect told them that she had called 911 for the purpose of having law enforcement help them move their belongings from the house they were burglarizing. They also wanted to get a ride to the airport so they could spend the weekend in New York, the sheriff’s office said…”

Mr. Gonzalez-Garcia had not only asked the Dollar General clerk earlier about the cell phone he subsequently stole, but also inquired about employment.  Something tells us Mensa membership ain’t in their future.
