Marjorie Taylor Greene says a group of Republicans called 'the 5 families' is meeting every week in Kevin McCarthy's office, in an apparent mob reference (and she among them!)
https://www.yahoo.com/news/marjorie-taylor-greene-says-group-070824333.html
+++++ Greene, a controversial figure in the GOP and a loyal supporter of former President Donald Trump, may soon see a resurgence in her political influence if House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy puts her on his planned oversight committee.
She's thrown in her support for McCarthy's bid to be House Speaker, and is in turn expected to be handed a committee assignment in the next Congress. The House previously stripped Greene of her committee appointments on February 4, 2021, with her critics saying she promoted baseless conspiracy theories, racism, and violence against Democrats.
Greene said in November that she's set to secure a spot on the oversight panel, which McCarthy wants to use to launch a litany of investigations into the Biden administration, China, the FBI, big tech, and other parties. +++++
Yes, just recently I said that the only business nastier than Politics? Is (capital P) Prostitution.
But I'm going to have to rethink that.
I'm a realist … don't fall on my sword for no reason. But we do know, that there isn't anyone in the Swamp. Who dwells lower than McCarthy.
MTG? I trust and admire. She and I inhabit the same reality. But reality is often one stanky beach. Resurrecting the blistered, nearly discarded hide of that filch McCarthy? In order to make forward progress? It is indeed a tangled web we weave.
Alt: the enemy of my enemy? (even if he IS a really stanknasty piece of filth).

EXCLUSIVE: Analysis of RNC Spending Since 2017 Shows Millions Were Spent on Private Jets, Limousines, Luxury Retreats, Broadway Shows
+++++ Back in 2010, RNC Chair Michael Steele was heavily criticized and eventually lost his position because donors were angry about what they believed was luxurious spending on private jets, floral arrangements, chauffeur services, and member meetings in expensive tropical locales.
Donors were used to frugality from the RNC under the George W. Bush administration, when “Karl Rove would bitch if there were flowers on the tables” and staff holiday parties were catered by Chick-fil-A.
Despite Joe Biden’s economy and three straight cycles of election losses, the RNC’s big-spending days are back with a vengeance.
A report dated October 7, 2022 that examined RNC’s 2021-22 spending. It calculated more than $500,000 in private jet expenses, $64,000 at clothing retailers, and $321,000 in floral arrangements. +++++

WEAVING BLACK HAIR BRAIDS IS EXPENSIVE
‘We’re Not Asking, We’re Telling You’: Black Activist Demands $350,000 For Each Black CA Resident
+++++ A black activist appearing before California’s first reparations task force meeting insisted that every black person in the state receive $350,000 and black-owned businesses should receive $250,000.
Max Fennell, the first black professional tri-athlete, spoke in Oakland, the birthplace of the Black Panthers.
“It’s a debt that’s owed, we worked for free,” he demanded while speaking at Oakland’s city hall. “We’re not asking, we’re telling you.”
“The tangibles of what I’m asking for is $350,000 per black American in California that’s tangible, small business grant $250,000, and land 15-20 acres,” he added. +++++
What's to snarf?
"It’s a debt that’s owed, we worked for free"

Elon Musk Threatens ‘Legal Action’ against Those ‘Who Supported Harm to My Family’ after Man Stalks His Small Child
+++++ A liberal activist who has been tracking Musk’s movements and posting his locations online.
Musk said he wasn’t there at the time but the car carrying his youngest child X was attacked by a “crazy stalker” who thought he was in the vehicle.
In a post on Twitter, Musk blamed activists for “doxxing” his “real-time location.” +++++
Maxine Waters ...
"Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up,” Waters told a crowd in California over the weekend. “If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
Eric Holder ...
“It is time for us as Democrats to be as tough as they are, to be as dedicated as they are, to be as committed as they are,” [former Attorney General Eric] Holder said. “Michelle always says, Michelle Obama, I love her. She and my wife are really tight. Which always scares me and Barack. Michelle always says, ‘When they go low, we go high.’ No. No. When they go low, we kick them.”

TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION
These little insects however, are scared to death of the truth. Running from it as fast as their six little legs will carry them.
CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS and ABC Spent Just 14 MINUTES Combined Covering ‘Twitter Files’
+++++ Major U.S. news networks have ignored one of the most explosive stories on social media censorship, corruption, and possible election interference .
The news outlets spent just 14 minutes between them covering Elon Musk’s ongoing release of the Twitter files, which laid bare the extreme partisan political alignment of ‘woke’ company executives.
The Twitter files releases showed former Twitter execs were regularly meeting with U.S. intelligence officials while suppressing and, in some cases, removing content at their behest. +++++
Caught only a few minutes of Bongino radio this morning (pre-op Doctor appointment, for my upcoming, ninth abdominal surgery. It's a battlefield down there. Even I don't look at it!).
He played a short audio clip of some great/grand exalted Medical/Science (?) poohbah. In the short soundbite, Towering Dingleberry, can be heard to say he had actually never heard of the Great Barrington Declaration. Never. Signed by 16,000 REAL Doctors (as in they having allegiance to their Oath).
Propaganda works. Hand in hand with censorship.
The Republic IS over.
Will we get her back?
The odds are long.
The deck is stacked.
I'm not a quitter.
I'm confident neither are you.
See you all in Hell.
I'll bring the warm Champagne (what the heck … Taittinger!)

Umm … it's called a sense of humor. Trump overestimated the percentage of the population who still have one.
And shhhh … don't tell anyone …. bbbut I worship the ground he walks on [said the one time virulent never Trumper (it was a looong time ago)].
Just as I worship the ground that every Great American walks upon.
+++++ Trump teased that he had a major announcement, which made people think it was going to be him picking a running mate or something consequential like that.
He announced his official “Donald Trump Digital Trading Card” collection, $99 apiece. +++++
