Good Monday morning.
Here is what’s on President Trump’s agenda today:
8:00 AM THE PRESIDENT participates in Executive Time
11:00 AM THE PRESIDENT participates in a Policy Meeting
12:00 PM THE PRESIDENT meets with the Prime Minister of the State of Qatar
12:30 PM THE PRESIDENT participates in a Policy Meetin
2:00 PM THE PRESIDENT participates in a Policy Meeting
3:30 PM THE PRESIDENT participates in a Policy Meeting
Two minutes of hate:
While everyone is peacocking on social media about how bad the Iran war caused the Republican midterm blowout, let’s talk about what didn’t happen when the GOP controlled Congress and the Senate: the lack of any action to hold rogue bureaucrats and their accessories to account for lawless behavior. This serious dereliction almost certainly led to voter demoralization and to low turnout by Republicans and Trump supporters. Why would people turnout and vote for the characters who looked the other way as left wing activists abused their power to hunt and persecute John Q. Citizen? How many people were spied on (including elected officials!) or debanked or fired from their jobs or deplaformed at the government’s request? I’m not even mentioning the lunatics on the court who fabricated reasons to obstruct Trump’s agenda. How could I forget the persecution of President Trump with the Mar-a-Lago raid, fake charges of illegally retaining classified documents, manufacturing E. Jean Smith accusations, retroactively changing the law in New York to bring Trump to court. Obviously this was going to continue when Democrats seized power.
Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday that the Justice Department could investigate Democratic lawmakers if their oversight activities cross the line into unlawful conduct. Unlawful conduct? The Democrats et al. have no incentive not to cross over into unlawful conduct since there are no consequences for doing so. Is Blanche going to do anything? Does anyone even work for the Trump Department of Justice anymore? Every week we learn of another resignation.
Appearing on CNN’s State of the Union, Blanche addressed President Trump’s recent directive to examine statements by Democrats threatening investigations of administration officials. Blanche was particularly concerned about statements from Democrats preparing to take control of the House Oversight Committee.
Those chickens are on their way home to roost.
Rep. Robert Garcia, a leading candidate to chair that committee, warned incoming White House chief of staff Stephen Miller to prepare for congressional scrutiny.
