I so enjoy these administration officials who do not apologize or genuflect in the face of hostility from the left. Instead, they fire back truth bombs without hesitation or worry about how the press will portray them. The commies can barely conceal their surprise. And Rubio is proving to be a very pleasant surprise to me.nortex97 said:I agree. But wait, there's more; execrable Tim Kaine gets dunked on:techno-ag said:

I posted the other day that Ed Martin said even if statutes of limitations have run on some things, he wants the information out there to the public so everyone can know what was happening.MadDog73 said:
What is the purpose of the investigatory letters and what is expected outcome? Thanks.
I think we have seen enough evidence of various efforts against Trump that were coordinated with the white house to try to proceed under criminal conspiracy, which would make the statute of limitations moot on the individual crimes.Ellis Wyatt said:I posted the other day that Ed Martin said even if statutes of limitations have run on some things, he wants the information out there to the public so everyone can know what was happening.MadDog73 said:

If it was considered to all be part of the same conspiracy, it wouldn't matter. Biden's involvement in the start of Russiagate with the Jan 2016 meeting could be used to tie it all together as one long conspiracy to subvert the lawful function of an elected government.Ellis Wyatt said:
Depends on which you are referring to. This is including Russiagate, which started almost a decade ago.

Great.NIH chief Jay Bhattacharya held a townhall, and when he dared suggest Covid might’ve come from a lab, staffers walked out while on the clock and on the taxpayer’s dime. That kind of childish tantrum proves once again that it all needs to be burned down. pic.twitter.com/bAzO6FG1IB

As much as we want to cheer for NIH to do/fund great research, there's a LOT of deadwood (at best) in that organization.Quote:
Dr. Bhattacharya stopped speaking when he noticed the dozens of staff members walking out in protest. He then recognized how great it was to have "free speech."
The NIH head continued, "So, if it's true that we sponsored research … that caused a pandemic, and if you look at the polls of the American people, that's what most people believe."
"And I've looked at the scientific evidence, and I believe it," he added. "What we have to do is we make sure that we do not engage in any research that is any risk to populations."
A second clip showed the flow of government employees who walked out, with some wearing face masks, the Daily Mail noted.More at the link.Quote:
After President Donald Trump resumed office, the White House updated its website on Covid.gov that clearly states in big bold letters that the pandemic was caused by a "Lab Leak," RedState reported.
A message on the page read, "The True Origins of Covid-19" and pointed to not only the origin of the virus but also to the misinformation as to its origin pushed on us for years by those like Dr. Anthony Fauci and other "experts."
The website read:Quote:
"The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2" publication which was used repeatedly by public health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak theory was prompted by Dr. Fauci to push the preferred narrative that COVID-19 originated naturally.
The EU just banned elections in Romania! They arrested/banned Marine Le Pen! They’re persecuting AfD, PiS, Vox & every Trump ally in Europe!

Quote:
During a blistering Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) was visibly floored after Energy Secretary Christopher Wright dropped a bombshell: the Department of Energy handed out a staggering $93 billion in loans and commitments during the final 76 days of the Biden administration, a figure that more than doubled the loan total from the previous 15 years combined.
Kennedy, in classic fashion, drilled in with precision. "The 76-day period you're talking about, that's the period between the time that President Trump was elected and President Biden left office. Is that right?"
"That is correct," Wright confirmed.
Kennedy didn't mince words when he asked how any agency could properly vet such massive spending in such a short window. "How do you do due diligence on one loan, much less $93 billion?" he asked.
Wright's answer was damning.
"I think it's probably pretty clear it wasn't done in many cases," he said. "There were commitments made from businesses that provided no business plan, no numbers about their own financial solvency, or how this project actually worked."
The senator appeared almost incredulous and asked for clarity: "So, so you're telling me that the Department of Energy in the 76-day period before their boss was gonna leave office, gave or loaned money to, to entities that had no business plan?"
"Correct," Wright replied bluntly.
"No financials?" Kennedy asked.
"Correct," Wright told him. "I've come in with great concern about how this institution, this great American institution, has been run and how American taxpayer money has been handled."

WHEN DO THE ARRESTS START? And when does the money get returned? Let's start with questioning Jennifer Granholm, Harvard lawyer of course. pic.twitter.com/fQKPEXKC9o
100% agree. Claw back as much as possible and then go after the perpetrators. There is zero excuse not to go hammer these folks. This are as clear of cases of fraud as you will ever see. They need to be in jail.nortex97 said:
15 years worth of funding…after Trump won.
There are people to go after, 100 percent. And clawbacks and absolute oversight of funds that are not clawed back could be implemented. The EPA and DOE have not been gutted enough, fwiw.
Granholm would be a start, for sure. Canadian by birth, Cal Berkeley, Harvard Law, failed governor, failed corrupt Biden cabinet member. And now a 'senior counselor' at the DGA Group.
Any day now, Bondi/Patel.

Still, I tend to just distrust anything from Rand Corp. Much better. Of course, a judge (beryl Howell) has told Trump he can't close USIP.Quote:
Supporters of the affected TPS community have called the repatriation plan "dangerous," "devastating," "reckless," and the equivalent of a "suicide mission." In my considered judgment, these fears are unwarranted. The Taliban are desperate for diplomatic recognition. They want their assets unfrozen and the travel ban on their leaders lifted. They want foreign investment. They want the United States to reopen its embassy in Kabul, which they have carefully cleaned of graffiti and kept untouched, as they proudly show to American visitors. They want to be allowed to staff and reopen their own embassies and consulates in other countries. Harming the returnees would spell the end of those hopes, and the Taliban, whatever they may be, are not stupid. Besides, we have Exhibits A and B for reassurance: the Taliban's two main opponents, both closely associated with the United Statesformer President Hamid Karzai and former Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullahare living safely and comfortably in Kabul. They could easily have "disappeared" in the turmoil of the first days or been jailed as collaborators. Instead, they are able to travel abroad and return, to meet with journalists and foreign dignitaries, and to criticize Taliban policies freelyKarzai has made no secret of his disdain for the limitations on girls' education.
It is worth noting, too, that the Trump administration is not alone in its new policy toward Afghan refugees. Several European countries, including some with liberal governments, have also announced repatriation plans. For the sake of the Afghan population, including the soon-to-be returnees, lifting the sanctions and letting the country experience a less handcuffed economic upswing would be the right thing to do. At a minimum, the Taliban should be allowed to reopen and staff their consulates, to issue travel documents and otherwise facilitate the process for their returning citizens.
And Secretary Noem, I have a great restaurant recommendation in Kabul, should you decide to visit. You will be served by a charming group of young women wielding menus on iPads.
