Trump for allowing Black and Jewish Americans to join his private clubs when that was not the norm. Matt Gaetz in his house floor speech said:  Mr. Chairman, let me begin by saying that it used to be the case on Palm Beach Island that no blacks or Jews were even allowed to be members or invited as members at the private clubs, and it was actually Donald Trump before he was in politics who made that, I believe, very important change so that we weren't treating people differently based on their immutable traits. I also want to say something on the subject of this hearing when it comes to Supreme Court ethics and guardrails. I am supportive of bipartisan efforts to have some sort of ethics construct on the court. I don't understand why Congress is subject to ethics rules and the executive is subject to ethics rules, bu

Republican Representative stated I thank the chair and support House Resolution 1243, which requests that President Biden provide the House with information about his family's international business arrangements. Now behind me is an email from 2016 during the Obama Biden Administration between Hunter Biden and Miguel Aleman, the son of a Mexican billionaire and grandson of the former Mexican president. The email begins with a quote: we're arriving late tonight on Air Force 2 to Mexico City. We will be there for Thursday. I'm attending a meeting with President Nieto with Dad. Because we've been talking about business deals and partnerships for seven years, the highlighted sections here are significant. I've brought every single person you've ever asked me to bring to the effing White House, the vice pr

A conversation about the meaning of words in semantics ensued, with no resolution. When the reporter then asked her whether she considered herself a socialist because she was a social person, the sparks began to fly. Talking about the MAGA Republicans, Rep.

JUST IN: Sen. Chuck Grassley Presents Alleged Impropriety In Hunter Biden Probe

  Photo credit: IowaPolitics.com/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr At today's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) spoke about a letter sent to a US Attorney about the Hunter Biden probe. Do watch his video below: Sen. Chuck Grassley said: I'd like to mention the Hunter Biden special counsel letter that Republican members sent to Attorney General Garland this week. The letter requests that special counsel protections and authorities be extended to a U.S. attorney. Weiss, Senator Corner, led the charge in getting that letter done.  Senator Johnson and I wrote to U.S. Senate attorney Weiss on May 9th of this year, asking if he had obtained relevant records to fully advance the Hunter Biden investigations. We ask him if he receives sufficient resources and support from the justice department to execute the investigation. We also asked him if he discussed the need for a special counsel to properly investigate Hunter Biden's criminal matter. Attorney Gener

Marjorie Taylor Greene Upset By Note Left For Her In Her Office: 'Really Bothers Me'

Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr In a video released to social media, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) slammed a note she received encouraging her to vote for more aid to Ukraine. In a video released on social media Wednesday, conservative firebrand Marjorie Teller expressed her anger at a note she received, encouraging her to vote for more AIDS in Ukraine. The note, which was meant to convey the dire situation faced by Ukrainians suffering under Russian aggression, prompted the Georgia Republicans to demand more spending on American citizens. Continued AIDS Ukraine has become a thorn in the side of hard-right politicians who have demanded that U.S. tax dollars be spent on citizens rather than on foreign conflicts. Most Democrats and Republicans disagree, viewing support for Ukraine as both morally and geopolitically necessary and key to quelling continued Russian aggression. Politicians such as Green's detractors argue that if Russia succeeds in its inv

Gaetz in his remarks said: Mr. Chairman, I can't imagine being one of the 232 people sitting in federal prison right now thinking if I had committed the exact same offense after President Trump had signed the first step act, I wouldn't be here anymore. I'd be with my family. But instead, because of what I think is a flawed determination that didn't allow retroactivity, we are treating people differently for committing the same offenses. We're incarcerating some people for the very same offenses that they would otherwise not be incarcerated for. And so I think that's an appropriate fix. There has been discussion today about fentanyl and it irks me every time I hear someone talk about fentanyl overdoses. Because no one overdoses on fentanyl because I don't think anybody really sets out to, like, sco
