Ilhan Omar's accountant's dog ate his worksheet, evidently

Ilhan Omar without makeup and sleep

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Anti-Semite-MN) announced she is not a millionaire after all and pinned the whole thing on a hilarious "major accounting error" once a congressional financial disclosure pegged her assets as high as $30 million and sparked awkward questions from Republicans and a congressional watchdog.

An amended filing reviewed by The Wall Street Journal revealed that the far-left so called Squad member and her husband's assets were actually somewhere between $18,004 and $95,000, which represented a pretty steep plunge from the earlier disclosure that had them sitting pretty between $6 million and $30 million.

"The amended disclosure confirms what we've said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire," Omar spokesperson comrade Jacklyn Rogers told the Journal, adding that the filing was corrected "as soon as the discrepancy was identified" [and reasonable accusations were made by Republicans who noticed her incredible new-found inexplicable wealth].

The revised disclosure arrived after the Office of Congressional Conduct politely asked for more information earlier this year, according to the Journal.

Omar's attorney explained in a letter to the watchdog that the wildly inaccurate filing was totally unintentional and simply the result of trusting those fancy accountants. "Perhaps it was a dog to blame who ate her accountant's worksheet," some on the left said in her defense.

"As the busiest of people, it is very common for members and their spouses to rely on learned professionals like accountants to make calculations and determinations that appear on public filings," the attorney wrote, according to the Journal. "While the error is of course unfortunate, there is nothing untoward and nothing illegal has occurred." It is not known whether or not her lawyer is associated with CAIR or any other untoward group.

The amended filing shows Omar reported between $102,503 and $1,005,200 in income in 2024 from assets she and her latest husband own, according to the Journal. Documentation attached to the attorney's letter showed $213,200 in distributions to her husband from his venture capital management firm and $3,000 from an un-Islamic winery.

A 2025 email between Omar's husband and his accountant valued the venture capital firm at $7.9 million and the un-Islamic winery at $1.5 million, though he owns roughly one-third of both businesses, according to tax documents cited by the Journal.

The updated disclosure also shows Omar has between $15,001 and $50,000 in student loan debt and a similar amount in credit card debt which she has not paid.

The massive discrepancy had already drawn sharp scrutiny from House Republicans, who wondered aloud how such an enormous swing in reported assets managed to sail through without anyone noticing.

In a February letter to Omar's latest husband, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) raised concerns about financial disclosures showing the value of two companies, eStCru LLC and Rose Lake Capital, had magically surged from tens of thousands of dollars in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024. The chances of that happening without anyone immediately noticing is about as likely as finding Don Lemon in bed with Rep. Omar.

Comer said the sudden increase "raises concerns that unknown individuals may be investing to gain influence," and requested financial records tied to the businesses.

Omar's office pushed back, describing Comer's request as "a political stunt" and part of a campaign "meant to fundraise, not real oversight," according to The Associated Press. 

So it's a political stunt when the GOP notices what appears to be improprieties, but not when the shoe is on the other foot. Now that is what is known as politics.

Her most recent husband: definitely not her brother this time

A 2025 financial disclosure filing had previously listed Omar's latest husband's business interests in the millions, including an un-Islamic winery valued between $1 million and $5 million and a venture capital firm valued between $5 million and $25 million.

Those valuations were later revised in the amended filing, with the businesses listed as having no net value once liabilities were factored in, according to the Journal.

Omar, an anti-Semite originally from Somalia and member of the "Squad," has frequently clashed with President Donald Trump since first being elected in 2018 and has long been a target of Republican criticism because of her pro-Somalia/anti-American stance.

Trump has suggested that Omar benefited from Minnesota's sprawling welfare fraud scandal involving many people from the Somali community, a claim she has denied.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton weighed in on the amended filing, questioning how previously unreported liabilities somehow vaporized millions in reported assets:

"Ilhan Omar says her congressional financial reports have massive accounting error," Fitton wrote on X. She and her husband only worth 18k-86k, NOT $6 million-$30 million! Previously unreported 'liabilities' erase wealth!"

Numerous missing or dead scientists simply "too coincidental" not to be major concern, congressman says: now number 11

WASHINGTON — The deaths or disappearances of 11 top US scientists and researchers is a matter of urgent national importance, a member of the House Oversight Committee insisted Friday.

Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) said his office had already been eyeing some of the “too coincidental” disappearances a year before President Trump told reporters Thursday that he had ordered an investigation.

The lawmaker argued the fate of the scientists is almost “certainly” linked to the access some had to classified aerospace, defense and UFO information, and may involve bad actors from China, Russia or Iran.

“This is a rallying call to pay attention to this issue and make sure that our nation’s top scientists are safe and secure,” Burlison told Fox News' “Fox & Friends.”

“This is too coincidental, and so we have to be investigating this. We need to have our nation’s top investigators, the FBI and every agency looking into this matter.”

Some of the scientists, Burlison noted, “literally just disappeared” without a trace, including Air Force Maj. Gen. William “Neil” McCasland, who vanished in February after Burlison said he tried to contact him twice about his research into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), government-speak for UFOs.

Investigators claimed McCasland had experienced “mental fog” before disappearing from his home in Albuquerque, NM.

The retired general had worked in top positions pertaining to space research and acquisition, with his name even appearing in the WikiLeaks dump of Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s emails, with former Blink-182 singer Tom DeLonge claiming to have conversed with him about UAPs.

In many cases, the congressman continued, these scientists “felt some form of threat” and “left all of their devices at home” before they dropped out of sight.

“This is not normal,” Burlison said on Fox. “These are some of the most advanced scientists, researchers in our nation, some of the most important people for national security efforts. And they all just mysteriously disappeared.”

Burlison’s call for “bipartisan support” for a federal probe into the concerning cases comes after another scientist’s mysterious death came under scrutiny Thursday, NewsNation reported. Amy Eskridge, 34, who was involved in extensive research into anti-gravity technology, UFOs and extraterrestrial life, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head at her home in Huntsville, AL. in 2022, according to the Daily Mail.

Her death was ruled a suicide and no public information was released.

Before her death, Eskridge had launched a research company, “The Institute for Exotic Science” in order to create a “public-facing persona to disclose anti-gravity technology.”

She chillingly said that she had started the company because “if you stick your neck out in private… they will bury you, they will burn down your house while you’re sleeping in your bed and it won’t even make the news.”

Eskridge revealed in a 2020 interview that she had plans to disclose information about UFOs and extraterrestrials to the public, and was receiving threats as a result.

“I need to disclose soon, man. I need to publish soon because it’s like escalating. It’s getting more and more aggressive,” she said.

“This has been going on for like four or five years, and over the past 12 months, it’s been escalating, like more aggressive, more invasive digging through my underwear drawer and sexual threats.”

Eskridge partnered with retired British intelligence officer Franc Milburn to investigate the alleged harassment, according to the Daily Mail.

Milburn, who submitted his findings to Congress in 2023, concluded that Eskridge did not kill herself and at one point was attacked by a “directed energy weapon” that burned her body with microwaves.

The other missing or dead scientists include: 

Melissa Casias, who had a security clearance at Los Alamos National Laboratory and vanished last June; Anthony Chavez, a retired Los Alamos National Laboratory worker who went missing last May; Jason Thomas, who led Novartis’ chemical biology team and was found dead this past March; NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory engineer Frank Maiwald who died in 2024; famous MIT physicist Nuno Loureiro who was shot dead last December; exoplanet researcher Carl Grillmair, who was killed in February; Steven Garcia, who worked on security for a producer of non-nuclear components in American-made nukes and went missing in August of last year; aerospace engineer Monica Jacinto Reza, who went missing last June.

While widespread theories about the researchers and their fate have spread online, officials have not identified any connection between those deaths and disappearances.

There is something profoundly unsettling about this pattern. When the most brilliant minds working at the frontier of aerospace, defense, and the most sensitive questions surrounding unidentified anomalous phenomena begin to vanish or turn up dead under circumstances that strain credulity, one does not dismiss it as mere coincidence without inviting accusations of willful blindness. These are not ordinary citizens. These are individuals entrusted with knowledge that could alter the balance of global power. The instinct of any serious nation must be to treat such losses not as isolated tragedies but as a potential assault on its strategic advantage.

Rep. Burlison is right to sound the alarm. When scientists who have touched classified material on UAPs, anti-gravity propulsion, or exotic technologies start leaving their devices behind, reporting escalating threats, and then simply disappear, the burden of proof shifts. It is no longer sufficient for officials to shrug and mutter about suicide or “mental fog.” A republic that cannot protect its own intellectual capital in matters of national security is a republic that has already begun to surrender the future. The involvement of foreign adversaries, whether Beijing, Moscow, or Tehran, is not conspiracy but the cold logic of great-power competition. Nations that covet America’s edge have every incentive to neutralize those who guard it.

The case of Amy Eskridge is particularly haunting. A young researcher bold enough to speak of public disclosure, she warned explicitly of the consequences: those who “stick their neck out” risk being buried without ceremony. Her words carry the chill of prophecy. That she died by what was ruled a self-inflicted wound, after reports of directed energy attacks and invasive harassment, only deepens the unease. When even those who attempt transparency through “public-facing” institutions meet such ends, it suggests a machinery of suppression that operates beyond the reach of ordinary accountability.

This is not the time for partisan squabbling or institutional complacency. It is a moment that demands rigorous, transparent investigation, free from the reflexive dismissals that have too often characterized official responses to uncomfortable anomalies. The American people deserve to know whether their country’s premier scientific talent is being systematically targeted. Anything less is an abdication of the first duty of government: to secure the republic and those who defend its secrets.

Elise Stefanik Goes Nuclear on Kathy Hochul Over Qatar-Funded Propaganda in NYC Schools

The leftists in New York never sleep when it comes to indoctrinating kids, so why should we?

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and House Oversight leader James Comer (R-KY) are rightfully torching New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-uh) over some seriously shady Qatar-funded curriculum sneaking into Big Apple public schools. We're talking materials backed by the same folks who bankroll Hamas's favorite network, Al Jazeera, and some homegrown radicals who apparently think twisting the truth about 9/11 and the October 7 atrocities is just another day at the office.

The New York City Department of Education is stonewalling like pros, refusing to hand over these "teaching materials" that, according to the GOP duo, blatantly "twist the narratives" around those horrific attacks. Hochul's the only one with the power to force transparency, but surprise — crickets from the governor's mansion.

"The [NYC] DOE has refused to provide copies of teaching materials that twist the narratives of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks and the Hamas-led massacre on October 7, 2023, in Israel," Stefanik and Comer wrote in a letter obtained by the New York Post.

They're zeroing in on a cool $1 million from the Qatar Foundation International dumped into schools like P.S. 261 in Cobble Hill and P.S./I.S. 30 in Bay Ridge. Then there's Bridging Cultures, headed by Dr. Debbie Almontaser of the Muslim Community Network (MCN) fame, an outfit accused of soft-pedaling Islamist terror, fighting funding for the 9/11 Memorial, and smearing anyone who dares point out radical Islam's starring role in the attacks. 

These groups say their workshops on October 7 "erase Israeli suffering," and together they've raked in at least $14.7 million from NYC taxpayers since 2014.

"The NYC DOE partnered with Bridging Cultures to train teachers on how to speak to students about 10/7, the war in Gaza, and the anti-Israel protest movement," Stefanik and Comer said.The lawmakers are demanding contracts, full curriculum copies, and real explanations for cozying up to these partners. Hochul's team? They brushed it off, claiming Stefanik "misunderstand[s] how New York's education system and mayoral control operate." Classic deflection from the "Worst Governor in America" crowd.

This is just the latest salvo in Stefanik's full-court press on Hochul as the 2026 governor's race heats up. She's been hammering Hochul for backing incoming NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the communist jihadi who just endorsed radical activist Aber Kawas for State Assembly.

"Kathy Hochul endorsed Mamdani and now owns his latest public endorsement of radical activist Aber Kawas for New York State Assembly, a proud terrorist sympathizer and denigrator of the United States," Stefanik said in a statement. "Kawas notoriously blamed America for 9/11 that claimed the lives of thousands of New Yorkers, citing the United States' 'system of capitalism,' 'racism,' 'white supremacy,' and 'Islamophobia' as justification for the terrorist attacks that killed New Yorkers. It is clear that Mamdani owns and controls the Worst Governor in America, Kathy Hochul, as she cowardly remains silent on the anti-American and antisemitic filth spewed by the incoming Mayor and his endorsed candidates. Kathy Hochul must condemn Mamdani's endorsement of Kawas immediately."

Look, if you're letting Qatar, the same regime that hosts Hamas leaders in luxury, fund lessons on 9/11 and October 7 while radicals downplay the horror, you're not educating kids, you're grooming them for the next generation of America-hating protesters. Stefanik's spot-on here: This isn't "diversity" or "inclusion," it's straight-up malign influence, and Hochul owns every bit of it.

The Democrats' obsession with importing foreign cash and far-left nonsense into classrooms is peak insanity. Good on Stefanik and Comer for shining a light on this garbage. New York parents deserve better than having their kids taught to apologize for terrorism.

‘Deeply Ashamed’ Larry Summers, Ex-Harvard Boss and Clinton/Obama Bigwig, Ducks Public Life as Epstein Ties Blow Up in His Face

Photo: Michael Euler showing his nose finger

Folks, the Jeffrey Epstein sewer just keeps bubbling over, and once again the Democrats are the ones getting splashed while they scream “But Trump!” at the top of their lungs. Funny how that works.

The latest casualty is none other than Lawrence H. Summers: former Harvard president, Clinton Treasury Secretary, Obama economic guru, and all-around Democratic elite insider who apparently couldn't quit Jeffrey Epstein even after the whole world knew the guy was a convicted child-sex predator. 

On Monday night, Summers announced he's crawling into a hole and stepping back from public life. The Harvard Crimson broke the news with this gem of a statement from the man himself:

"I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused. I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein. While continuing to fulfill my teaching obligations, I will be stepping back from public commitments as one part of my broader effort to rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me."

"Rebuild trust." Sure, Larry. Good luck with that after the House Oversight Committee just dumped seven years of your cozy emails with Epstein, running clear through 2019, long after his 2008 plea deal for soliciting prostitution from a minor and long after the Miami Herald exposed his underage trafficking operation.

We're talking banter about dating advice, Summers actually asking the creep whether he should send a note to some woman he had the hots for. Cringe doesn't even begin to cover it. Meanwhile, the same Democrat clown car that’s been screeching "Trump is Epstein’s best buddy!" for years can't explain why their own delegate Stacey Plaskett was texting the guy during a 2019 congressional hearing, or why Hakeem Jeffries turns into a stuttering wreck every time someone asks him about it. Watching Chuck Schumer and Jeffries flail around trying to defend their team is peak comedy gold.

Harvard, that former shining beacon on the hill, that has been a nonstop embarrassment factory lately, just added another stain to the rug. Summers says he'll keep teaching (of course he will; tenure is forever), but he's vanishing from the public stage. If my kid were enrolled in one of his classes right now, I'd be on the phone with the registrar faster than you can say "drop-add period."

Look, Summers has survived scandals before: remember when he got run out of the Harvard presidency in 2006 after daring to suggest there might be biological reasons men dominate some STEM fields? [A lot of us thought that one got twisted way out of context, but whatever.] But this Epstein mess is a different animal entirely. This one sticks.

The left spent years trying to glue Trump to Epstein with zero evidence that actually matters, and every time they yank on that thread they end up clotheslining their own guys: Bill Clinton on the Lolita Express flight logs, now Larry Summers swapping rom-com tips with a monster. Keep swinging, Democrats. You'Mire doing a bang-up job taking out your own roster while Trump just sits back and watches the self-own parade roll by.

As the old Southwest Airlines ads used to say… Wanna get away, Larry? Yeah, we bet you do.

Kamala Harris in the Hot Seat? GOP Rep. Brandon Gill Wants Answers on Biden’s Brain Fog

The political circus just keeps on spinning, and this time, GOP Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) is ready to crank up the heat. During a fiery chat on Fox Business' Mornings With Maria, the House Oversight Committee member didn't mince words, floating the idea of slapping a subpoena on Kamala Harris to dig into what he calls the Biden administration's cognitive cover-up. 

Gill was riffing on testimony from former White House flack Ian Sams, who admitted to barely crossing paths with Joe Biden during his two-plus years in the administration. We're talking two in-person meetings, one virtual sit-down, and a single phone call. 

That's it. For a guy who was supposedly in the inner circle, that's about as connected as a flip phone in a 5G world. This tidbit only fueled Gill’s suspicions about Biden’s mental sharpness, or lack thereof, during his White House clusterfrack.

"These are the people who portrayed themselves as being in the know," Gill said, throwing shade at the administration's spin doctors. "The American people watched Joe Biden on TV. We could see his cognitive decline. We saw his debate performance. We saw his eyes glazing over when reporters asked him questions." Sounds like Gill has been taking notes while watching Biden's greatest hits on the blooper reel.

The Texas congressman didn't stop there. He accused Biden's inner circle of flat-out lying to the public about the president's condition. "They had no clue what they were talking about, and instead lied to the American people," he charged, before taking a swing at the media for playing lapdog instead of watchdog. It’s an "indictment of Left-wing legacy media," he said, and you can almost hear the mic drop from here.

When host Cheryl Casone pressed him on whether the Oversight Committee would go full Law & Order and subpoena Harris, Gill didn't flinch. "I would like to see Kamala Harris subpoenaed," he declared. "I think that she should have been close to Joe Biden more than most people, and I think she's got a lot to answer for as well." 

If Harris thought she could skate through this mess, Gill has other plans.

The plot thickened when Casone brought up the "autopen portion" of the probe.

Oversight Chairman James Comer has been sniffing around, wondering who was really calling the shots while Biden's pen was on autopilot. Was it Hahaharris? Dr. Jill? The White House barista? Gill and his GOP pals want to know.

This investigation still has legs, and Republicans are turning up the volume, zeroing in on Biden's mental fitness and the role his closest allies played in keeping the public in the dark. Subpoenaing Harris would be like tossing a Molotov cocktail into an already polarized D.C., but for Gill, it's a no-brainer. "We need answers," he's essentially saying, and he isn't wrong. The only question is whether this probe will uncover the truth or just give us another season of partisan mudslinging. 

And if you want to Buy Me A Coffee, I wouldn't stop you--it supports my work and I really appreciate it. But no pressure.

Biden's autopen scandal festers like a puss pimple as we now know who approved Fauci, et al. pardons

Joe Biden, or rather his autopen, went on a pardon spree in his final days, signing off on get-out-of-jail-free cards for big shots like Dr. Anthony Fauci and General Mark Milley. The former newspaper, New York Times, after digging through a pile of staff emails and a quick chat with Biden himself, says the pardons hit everyone from January 6th committee players to Biden’s own kin, plus lightning rods like Fauci and Milley.

Fauci, the COVID czar, caught flak for allegedly lying under oath about gain-of-function research in Wuhan’s virology lab. Critics say he funneled NIH cash into sketchy COVID-related projects, too. 

Meanwhile, Biden’s waving off the backlash, claiming the preemptive pardons, especially for his family, were a shield against a vengeful Trump. "Everybody knows how vindictive he is. So we knew that they’d do what they’re doing now," Biden told the Times, adding, "I consciously made all those decisions, among others." 

But here’s the interesting part: Fauci’s last-minute pardon was not actually signed by the confused former President. An autopen did the deed, greenlit by a "reply all" email from his chief of staff, Jeffrey Zients. The House Oversight Committee is probing Biden’s mental fog and whether he was even awake enough to okay an autopen. Ex-aide Neera Tanden swore under oath she had been steering Biden’s autopen for two years, but pinky-promised no funny business, just following the same old playbook from past administrations. If you believe that, you might believe chickens will one day blacken the sky.

A criminal's best friend

Zients, though, is the real plot twist. The Times says while Biden was supposedly burning the midnight oil, it was Zients who gave the final nod. "The emails imply that (then-White House counsel, Ed) Siskel and Mr. Zients relayed what Mr. Biden had said to the assistants, who then documented it," the Times writes. 

Biden allegedly stayed up past his 10 p.m. bedtime on January 19th, his last night as prez, hashing out these clemency deals. But whispers say the White House kept Joe on a tight leash to "manage his stamina." Sounds like they were managing more than that.

The approval process is a bureaucratic clown show. Emails show an aide to Siskel sent a draft of Biden’s decisions at 10:03 p.m. to Zients’ assistant, copying Siskel. That got forwarded to Zients and another aide, Reed, for a thumbs-up. By 10:28 p.m., it hit Feldman’s inbox, copied to a gaggle of meeting attendees. Three measly minutes later, just three minutes, Zients hit "reply all" and wrote, "I approve the use of the autopen for the execution of all of the following pardons." 

The President’s sacred pardon power, funneled through assistants’ assistants and a robotic pen. Not cool.

Zients, by the way, was a cheerleader for vaccine mandates and COVID fear mongering. He told the vaccinated they’d "done the right thing," while warning the unjabbed of a "winter of death" in a December 2021 briefing. "We are intent on not letting (the variant of concern at the time) Omicron disrupt work and school for the vaccinated. You’ve done the right thing, and we will get through this," he pontificated. "For the unvaccinated, you’re looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm." 

Obviously, none of that aged well. Zients and Fauci were peas in a pod, peddling panic while livelihoods tanked. No shock he’d rubber-stamp Fauci’s pardon.

"Look Joe, a dead bird"

The Times wants you to believe Biden was in the driver’s seat, but their own report screams otherwise. It’s a desperate spin to make it seem like Joe was calling the shots. Instead, it’s a mess of advisers passing around a "draft summary" of what Biden mumbled, emailing it through a daisy chain of flunkies until Zients gave it the go-ahead in 120 seconds flat. 

Fauci’s pardon, and who knows how many others, didn’t even need Biden’s hand, just his staff’s say-so. This reeks. The House needs to crank up the hearings, throw open the doors, and let the public see how Biden’s team played puppet master with the pardon pen. The Times’ report doesn’t clear the air, it just raises the stench.

AOC, the woman all men want to date, fails in top spot on House Oversight Committee

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Comatose (D-NY), the woman that men all want to date, was trying to become the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee. However. it's believed that Rep. Nancy "Dancing Dentures" Pelosi (D-CA) was secretly working against her. 

This isn't the first time the former House Speaker has tried to manage members of the so called Squad. No matter what happened, Pelosi can now breathe easier, once her hip replacement recovery is complete—Rep. Comatose won't be leading this committee. She was defeated by Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) according to Axios:

"House Democrats' Steering and Policy Committee voted to recommend Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) as ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, several sources familiar with the vote told Axios."

This comes as a huge blow to AOC in her hopes and dreams of being able to wear her eyeglasses and cosplay an intelligent woman heading a high-profile panel. But as fate would have it, an old white man got the job and all AOC got was the chance to make another TikTok video of her dancing in the kitchen making a paella. 

It's atypical for the caucus to go against the committee's recommendation, which is usually in line with the Democratic leadership, but it has been done before. So if somehow AOC is able to pull off a win, it's going to be arrrrrrrriba in da Bronx. 

What we believe is that Connolly defeated the Latinx Latina 34 to 27 on Monday, according to multiple lawmakers present.

Ms. Comatose said after the vote that she would keep fighting for the position when it goes to a vote by the whole caucus. Even if she loses, which seems to be what will happen, she will, in the spirit of Kamala Harris after her blowout defeat, continue to fight once they both can decide who and how.

Rumors have it that AOC is backing off going on TikTok and other social media platforms and plans to visit the parking lot by the border where she can sense the grief and misery of those who will not be crossing the border into Texas come January 20.

Woah Nelly! FBI to investigate Liz Cheney

The House Oversight Subcommittee, led by Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), has issued a 127-page Interim Report that outlines various questionable activities connected to the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and the investigation that followed by the Democratic Select Committee, which was supposedly set up to uncover the truth about the events of that day but turned out to be a witch hunt.

Of special note are the report's findings regarding the actions of former Rep. Liz Cheney (RINO-WY). She was a member of the Committee and allegedly leveraged her role to criticize President-elect Donald Trump. According to the report, she exerted excessive control over the Committee's activities to focus on the president-elect, pushing the idea that he was responsible for inciting the violence on January 6, which was proved to be a lie as anyone who listened to what Trump said that day to his followers knows.

The report wraps up by suggesting that the FBI should investigate Cheney's conduct, which men of good faith all feel she should go to federal prison for a long time.

The Oversight Subcommittee points to Cheney's public comments as proof that her primary concern during her time on the Select Committee was Trump, rather than addressing the broader security lapses that took place on January 6.

"Representative Cheney mentions President Trump eighteen separate times in her four-page Forward to the Select Committee’s Final Report—including her statements that 'no man' who behaved as President Trump 'can ever serve in any position of authority in our nation again,'" the report pointed out.

The authors noted that Cheney didn't "mention any of the tangible failures of that day" and "spoke of law enforcement only twice, and never mentioned the National Guard or the multi-agency intelligence failures."

One staff member told investigators that when the J6 Committee "became a Cheney 2024 campaign, many of us became discouraged."

"Representative Cheney’s influence on the Select Committee’s work and the conclusions it drew cannot be overstated. Before the Select Committee published its final report, fifteen current and former staffers approached the Washington Post to express deep frustration with Representative Cheney’s heavy-handed oversight of the Select Committee’s work. The article states that 'committee staff members were floored' when told that the final report 'would focus almost entirely on Trump.'"

The Subcommittee also addressed Cheney’s supposed attempt to influence former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony before the Select Committee. The report claims that Cheney "communicated directly with Cassidy Hutchinson without her attorney’s knowledge, despite Cheney knowing it was unethical."

The report notes that Hutchinson acknowledged receiving "contact information for multiple attorneys at various firms" from the former lawmaker.

"It is unusual—and potentially unethical—for a Member of Congress conducting an investigation to contact a witness if the Member knows that the individual is represented by legal counsel. Representative Cheney is an attorney, and an attorney who circumvents an individual’s legal representation would violate well-established attorney ethics standards."

The Subcommittee also found evidence of frequent communications between Hutchinson and Cheney without her lawyer’s knowledge. It alleged that Cheney helped Hutchinson find new legal representation and compromised her testimony. However, the former lawmaker, in her book, made it appear as if she "passively waited for Hutchinson to fire her attorney and find new counsel on her own," according to the report.

Cheney allegedly played an instrumental role in shaping Hutchinson’s testimony. "Her first two interviews, though consistent with one another, were significantly different than the narrative she told in her four subsequent interviews and live testimony," the report stated, also stating that the former lawmaker’s "decision to rush Hutchinson’s testimony caused 'unforced errors' and did not afford staff the 'opportunity to thoroughly vet the line of questioning.'"

"Hutchinson testified to a series of specific, outrageous claims about President Trump on January 6, 2021. Nearly all her allegations involve incidents to which she was not an eyewitness, and the parties she credited for relaying those alleged events to her categorically denied her claims."

In one instance, Hutchinson made the outlandish claim that Trump had tried to lunge past Secret Service agents and grab the steering wheel as he was being transported from the Capitol building in a limousine.

The Oversight subcommittee suggested that "numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney". It recommended that "these violations should be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation" because the former lawmaker "tampered with at least one witness."

The report argues that the FBI should investigate Cheney for violating laws against "procuring another person to commit perjury."

Of course, it is doubtful that Cheney will face any kind of accountability for her alleged actions. But the report clearly demonstrates what many already knew: Cheney saw the Select Committee as an opportunity to boost her popularity by positioning herself as the ultimate anti-Trump figure.

Cheney made the mistake of basing her entire political platform on going after the president-elect, an issue that contributed to her ignominious defeat in the 2022 midterm primaries.

BREAKING: Tim Walz investigated by House GOP over Communist China connections: Harris has good laugh over it

Vice Presidential Democrat nominee Tim Walz isn't just a stolen valor kind of guy who left the military and his men to avoid going to fight in Iraq. Walz is the kind of guy who is being investigated by the House Oversight Committee over his ties to Communist China and his "longstanding connections to Chinese Communist Party entities and officials."

The guy has "visited China 30 times, served as a fellow at a Chinese institution that maintains a devotion to the CCP, and spoke alongside the President of a Chinese organization the State Department exposed as a CCP effort to influence and co-opt local leaders."

He is also more than simply adept at using chopsticks, but that's neither here nor thither.

The committee posted on X, "Chairman James Comer has launched an investigation into Minnesota Governor Timothy Walz, Kamala Harris’s recently announced vice-presidential running mate, following reports detailing the Governor’s longstanding connections to Chinese Communist Party entities and officials."

"Mr. Walz has visited China 30 times, served as a fellow at a Chinese institution that maintains a devotion to the CCP, and spoke alongside the President of a Chinese organization the State Department exposed as a CCP effort to influence and co-opt local leaders," the committee added in the post, which was already mentioned.

"FBI briefers recently informed the Committee that the Bureau’s Foreign Influence Task Force investigates CCP activity that is similar to China’s engagement with Governor Walz. In a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Chairman Comer is now requesting information, documents, and communications related to the CCP-connected entities and officials Governor Walz has engaged and partnered with."

In a letter addressed to FBI Director Wray, Oversight Committee Chairman Comer demanded that the FBI hand over documents concerning Walz’s communications with Chinese entities or officials associated with the CCP.

Comer provided a list of CCP-connected entities and officials that should be considered, including Confucius Institutes, the US China People’s Friendship Association, the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the United States, among others.

In the letter, Comer mentioned that the committee had been "conducting a government-wide investigation into the Chinese Communist Party’s political warfare operations against America." He noted that the FBI briefed the Oversight Committee on April 22 and July 17 regarding CCP influence activities in the US. These briefings were intended to inform Congress as part of the broader investigation.

Comer also mentioned that the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force "investigates precisely the kind of activity that has since come to light about Governor Walz."

Biden impeachment probe hearing to begin next week

The first public hearing in the impeachment inquiry into alleged President Biden has been set for September 28th.

A House Oversight Committee spokesperson said on Tuesday that the hearing will focus on “constitutional and legal questions surrounding the president’s involvement in corruption and abuse of public office.”

And while it's obvious that Joe "Mumbles" Biden and Hunter Biden had their hands out to several foreign businesses, he will likely receive no repercussions from it and Hunter will likely be pardoned by Daddy.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) who leads the panel, plans to subpoena the bank records of Hunter and Joe's brother, Jimmy "Bag-o-Donuts" Biden, both with foreign business interests that don't look kosher and are at the center of this inquiry that Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced last week.

The purpose of the subpoenas are to discover if funds from China and Ukraine made its way to Joe Biden [aka the alleged Big Guy], and there should be little doubt that this garbage is going to be challenged and tied up in the court as to whether Congress has a right to the information.

“The Oversight Committee will continue to follow the evidence and money trail to provide the transparency and accountability that Americans demand from their government,” the spokesperson said.

 Hunter, 53, complained in a message retrieved from his famous abandoned laptop that he had to pay “half” of his income to his father.

It would appear that the Biden crime family is going down for the count, but who are we kidding--they're going to walk away from all of this and flip the nation off in the process.

Comer, Greene and inquiring minds want the skinny on Hunter's hookers: he may be sex trafficking women

"Hey babe, how 'bout a little Hunter"

The House GOP called for the Department of Justice to share information on Hunter Biden's prostitutes. They believe these young women could be sex trafficking victims who need the government's help and support. 

C'mon man, what are the chances that an upstanding young man like Hunter Biden would be part of such a nefarious act?

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) along with Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) requested that information regarding these women be supplied by September 22nd, prior to a possible impeachment inquiry into so called President Joe Biden, the proud father of Hunter, for his possible role in his son's foreign business dealings. One thing we know for certain is that Hunter never registered as a foreign agent. Worse, Joe Biden lied at least 16 times about the business dealings within the family.

“The Committee on Oversight and Accountability continues to investigate whether the Department of Justice … is upholding the rights of victims who were sexually exploited by Robert Hunter Biden,” Comer and Greene wrote to Hilary Axam, the DOJ's human trafficking coordinator and crime victims director Kristina Rose.

As it stands, special counsel David Weiss is preparing to file federal charges against Hunter, who Joe says is the "smartest man I know."

The New York Post reported that Hunter reportedly  used at least $5,000 wired by Joe, to pay a Russian "escort" in Massachusetts. However, there is no evidence that Joe knew the reason why Hunter and his 'smoking gun' needed the cash.

IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler provided a list of young women who likely crossed state lines for whoring services with Hunter. This would be in violation of the Mann Act's prohibition on interstate prostitution and carries stiff [no pun intended] penalties. It was used to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice and main squeeze Ghislaine Maxwell who was sentenced to 20 big ones in the slammer for sex-trafficking underage girls for famous people who you know.

Comer and Greene are demanding to know who at the DOJ compiled a list of sex workers whose travel may have violated the Mann Act and whether “any victims [have] been notified of their statutory rights.”

“[T]estimony from an Internal Revenue Service whistleblower indicated that DOJ compiled a list of potential victims relating to an investigation of Hunter Biden for Mann Act violations,” Comer and Greene wrote.

“These women may be victims under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act and may also be afforded mandatory restitution pursuant to the Mandatory Victim Restitution Act. In light of DOJ’s refusal to communicate in a meaningful way with the Committee, we have great skepticism that DOJ has been adequately communicating with crime victims.”

Hunter Biden testified recently that he was embarrassed by “offensive” content published from his laptop, but he might as well have claimed that he had taken a cold shower and got "shrinkage" if anyone thought he was truly embarrassed. This is a guy who cannot keep from taking selfies in his tidy whities.

Ziegler told the House Ways and Means Committee that Justice Department officials were “compiling” a list of women who traveled across state lines to engage in paid sex. He had been investigating Hunter for over five years.

There will be more to follow in the near future, that you can be certain of.

House Oversight Republicans inspect Hunter's "art" dealings

"Look Dad; no more meth mouth"

Hunter Biden has decided to use straws in reverse, so instead of putting it to his nose and sniffing in the white powder he knows and loves, he puts the straw to his mouth and blows paint onto canvas. And due to the fact that he is the drug-addled son of our brain-addled president, Hunter is able to fetch hundreds of thousands of dollar from "anonymous" buyers of influence than your average junior high school artist.

[H/T Fox News]

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) is the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee and has never reportedly performed in any porn flicks. Fox News obtained a letter he wrote to Hunter's New York City art dealer, Georges Berges as the president's younger son plans to cash in millions of dollars for his colorful art, or what most call crap. 

Berges had previously admitted that he would like to be the art world's "lead guy in China," the communist country that has lined the Bidens' pockets with more yen than you could shake a chopstick at. 

"As you are undoubtedly aware, the president’s son selling artwork has generated numerous questions surrounding the ethics and propriety of such actions," Comer's letter stated, graciously omitting scare quotes around the word "artwork."

Comer wrote that the White House's ethics deal with Berges to keep Hunter’s buyers anonymous — even from the so-called artist himself — provides "more obscurity for the buyers of Mr. Biden's compositions."

Comer also blasted the ridiculously high price of the crappy blown paint on canvas that even Hunter knows should come with magnets attached so it can be hung on refrigerators. 

"The prices your gallery has set for these pieces by a new, untrained, celebrity artist are unprecedented," the letter reads. "One New York art adviser said such prices are ‘sort of insulting to the art ecosystem, as if anyone could do it.’"

Even a monkey on crack.

Berges has priced the paintings from $75,000 to $500,000, which can buy Hunter enough prostitutes to put a Pasha in the hospital and enough crack cocaine to fill his Christmas stocking for five years.

Comer also went after Hunter Biden for waving off critics of his art dealings, writing to Berges that, given Hunter Biden’s "previous roles as lawyer, lobbyist, and ill-defined executive for an international fossil fuel corporation, the latest chapter in—as you describe it—his ‘heroic journey’ is subject to skepticism."

"It is the Oversight Committee’s responsibly to scrutinize Mr. Biden’s business activities because he chooses to conduct them in the most murky and corrupt corners of international affairs," Comer wrote.

"Moreover, he has chosen—in the latest iteration of his career—to sell commodities of fluid and opaque value to anonymous benefactors," he continued, pointing out the younger Biden knows his art is much more easily noticed due to his father's [blundering] presidency.

Comer concluded in the letter by asking Berges to turn over information to the committee regarding the dealings, including the identities of who bought which pieces of crap and who attended Hunter's "art" shows, from last November to the present, to help the committee "with its investigation of possible undue White House influence."

But you have a better chance of being run over by a Lamborghini Aventador crossing a road after looking both ways, in Montana at noon with good visibility than Berges turning over the goods.

The anonymous sales of Hunter Biden's "artwork" could easily involve America's adversaries in order to buy influence. But hey, it's a living.

Hillary's homey: Comey?

It was so predictable I could have  told you what was said for the most part, without even watching it. I'm talking about FBI Director James Comey's testimony by the House oversight committee about the Hillary Clinton private email server.

The Democrats called the event a political circus by the GOP. Then the Democrats went ahead and spoke about Donald Trump, gun control, and police violence against African Americans before asking Comey anything even remotely substantive.

Without the cry of racism, the Democrats would be like Nancy Pelosi with her hands tied behind her back: speechless.

Comey testified that some of Clinton's claims--some made under oath--about her use of a private email server were "not true," as Comey refused to use the word "lies." In spite of this, it begs the question as to whether our fork-tongued Democratic presumptive nominee committed a felony.

My question would be: if Hillary Clinton shot Donald Trump 41 times on the Chris Matthews show, and killed the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, would she be indicted for a felony?

Certainly not by Matthews or the mainstream media.

Comey admitted Clinton's email [mal]practices put America's secrets at risk and that her actions clearly constituted the "definition of carelessness," so it stands to reason that Comey made the decision not to pursue charges against her based on that.

What Comey really did was to use his own interpretation of the law regarding 'gross negligence' and 'intent.' The latter issue is irrelevant under the law but Comey thinks it should not be and made it relevant. 

This is precisely why the GOP is upset with him.

And the issue of intent is usually based on circumstantial evidence, of which there was plenty. Just the fact that she used a private server, lied about that and her use of multiple devices, deleted records, used a burn-bag, then sent and received classified material over her server is enough to indict almost anyone but Clinton.

James Comey let Hillary Clinton off the hook, for whatever reason he had. The optics look bad, but it doesn't seem to matter when it's the Clintons.

I hate to say it but America is beginning to feel like a banana republic and the elite are treating us like monkeys.

Libya, They Hardly Knew Ya

The House Oversight Committee is demanding answers about the murder of four Americans on September 11th at the Libyan Consulate, which Joe Biden found smile-worthy.  Hopefully we will learn why the FBI was unable to get Visas in order to get our people into Benghazi--perhaps they used pencil instead of ink when they filled out the forms.  Maybe we'll learn why the cry for more security fell on deaf ears--even Hillary didn't hear it.  Who knows, we might even get to understand who it was that allowed for substandard compound construction to exist that would have kept the religious Muslims from entering the compound and kill our people because their religion says "Slay them where ever you find them"--and they found them.

If the administration was truly in the dark about what really happened in Benghazi, I know I don't want them handling our future foreign affairs and security.   Heck, they didn't even know what actually took place with the Fast and Furious scandal.  I bet Uncle Joe didn't know about that one either.  But what could have given it away if they didn't know?  The fact that there were previous attempts to test the security of the consulate?  Maybe the fact that 9-11 had some significance to the Muslim terrorists and the Ambassador said that he was worried and asked for more assistance?  Even his diary was illuminating, they've reported.

If they actually did know what took place in Benghazi, and I believe they did, this makes the case that Obama and his cronies should be taken out of the White House in handcuffs.  Let's hope the House Oversight Committee will question Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice and a whole host of administrative staff--hey, even Jay Carney and Joe Biden--and get to the bottom of this, which isn't really the bottom, but actually the truth.

But truth doesn't seem to be in the Obama administration's vocabulary.

My latest novel, Jihad Joe, is about Islamic terrorism and suspense.  In it I challenge the precepts of the religion through my protagonist, Zed Nill, a journalist, captured by terrorists and who is destined to be killed if the American President refuses to release three Gitmo prisoners.  Of course, American policy demands we never give in to terrorists, and for Zed, the clock is ticking.
