Biden appointee admits lying under oath but so what--she's a Democrat

Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm, has admitted that she lied under oath to Congress, just like Eric Holder did in the Obama-Biden administration. Nothing happened to Holder, nothing will happen to Granholm. So when you hear some moron on the left say "nobody is above the law," you know they're running a power scam.

Granholm claimed she made a mistake when she lied during an April 20th congressional hearing. Ironically, April 20th is Adolf Hitler's birthday, and Granholm, well, never mind. She made the admission in a letter she sent Friday about the claim that she didn't own any individual stocks. She does, and she owned shares in six companies that she evidently forgot about when she lied.

Her lie was meant to go along with her testimony she gave during her confirmation hearing in 2021 whereby she lied saying she divested from stocks that could conflict with her future work, just like Nancy Pelosi and most congressional folks do.

“As you know, as part of the confirmation process before this Committee, in 2021 I divested from assets that could be in conflict with my official duties,” Granholm wrote in the lying letter obtained by Fox News Digital. “I did, however, retain assets that were determined by Government ethics officials to not conflict with my official duties.”

“I mistakenly told the Committee that I did not own any individual stocks, whereas I should have said that I did not own any conflicting stocks. In order to make my financial holdings consistent with my testimony, on May 18, 2023, I divested my remaining stock holdings which consisted of stock in six companies, even though these assets were deemed non-conflicting,” she continued in her lies. 

For context, lying to Congress is a federal crime that could carry a punishment as harsh as a sneer and wagging of fingers, and Granholm is admitting to the crime of lying in her letter.

But at least she admitted that she's a damn liar--Biden and Adam Schiff never do.

Dick's losing customers

Dick's Sporting Goods Inc. is like the Starbucks of sporting goods stores. They have to throw out their uninformed opinion about gun control and don't know what they're talking about.

They say their decision to not sell firearms to adults under 21 years old has hurt traffic and retail sales. The decision came on the heels of the Parkland, Florida school shooting that left 17 people dead.

Customers are upset, especially those who know that most mass shooters are over 21 and the latest school shooter, who was 19, was on law enforcement radar multiple times as well as mental health radar, but the warnings were ignored.

So Dick's tried to virtue signal by raising the age to 21, while federal law makes it 18 years of age. 

Walmart is doing the same.

Dick's said it was surprised by the "outpouring of support" by ignorant people who don't wait for the victims to be buried before calling for more gun control.

Ask Chicago about gun control. Ask Detroit.

"Some of those customers that buy firearms, buy other things also," Dick's Chief Executive Edward Stack figured out all by himself. "There are just going to be some people who just don't shop us anymore for anything."

Let's hope so. Any establishment that goes against the Second Amendment should lose business.

Initially, President Trump almost took the bait, but now the administration is exploring actual efficacious ways to lessen gun violence. Stop and frisk is one step, and arming trained teachers and school staff is another. I suspect a better data base on mental health issues and law enforcement that actually enforces the law, would reduce gun crime. Getting rid of "gun-free" (aka:"shoot me") zones would also help.

At least Dick's stupidity translated to it's market shares, which fell 2.5% midday Tuesday as they reported a sales decline of 2% in its latest quarter.

It's kind of what Starbucks did when they chose sides and became the nation's  political virtue mavens. 

Just serve the damn coffee.
