NEW REPUBLICAN HOUSE OFF TO A GOOD START
from JC
The new Republican Congress has started fulfilling campaign promises. Late yesterday they voted to de-fund the 80,000 new IRS agents that Biden ordered as part of his plan to “combat inflation.”
From Congressman Ogles
You’re fired!!!
Tonight we defunded Biden’s army of IRS agents set to target innocent Americans!
FBI you’re next!!!
House Freedom Caucus member and Representative Mark Green won the race to chair the key Homeland Security Committee, defeating deplorable Dan Crenshaw, who recently called Freedom Caucus members “terrorists.”
Also, Representative Mike Rogers, who recently lunged at Representative Matt Gaetz during the votes for Speaker, has announced he will step down from the House Steering Committee.
Progress.
….
Then there’s This
This is the kind of story that makes me believe in “White Hats.” CBS News ran a story yesterday headlined, “U.S. Attorney Reviewing Documents Marked Classified From Joe Biden’s Vice Presidency Found at Biden Think Tank.”
Uh-oh!
Apparently, Joe Biden was storing some classified documents at a commercial office building in Washington, D.C. , where six years ago he’d leased an office for his money-laundering outfit, I mean his “think tank,” the Penn-Biden Center for Diplomacy & Global Engagement:
Before the midterm elections, CBS News reporters got an anonymous tip about the documents, disclosing that sensitive classified documents including nuclear secrets were laying around in Biden’s old office, which was “secured” by a single lock on the office’s front door.
So of course, CBS told the DOJ and kept quiet.
Showing uncharacteristic sensitivity, grandmotherly Attorney General Merrick Garland waited until now, safely AFTER the midterm elections, to acknowledge the story and assign the case to a US Attorney — not in Washington DC or Florida or Texas — but in Chicago, of course. You gotta love that city.
CNN said the unsecurely-stored classified materials include top-secret files designated “sensitive compartmented information,” or SCIF, meaning the super-highly sensitive classified information originally came from U.S. intelligence sources. The New York Post reported that the Penn-Biden Center’s DC office, where the classified documents were “stored,” was paid for by donations from China — of course — totaling over $54 million dollars that Penn collected from the communist superpower.
Unlike President Trump, the former vice-president had no authority to declassify anything.
According to The Hill, President Trump asked, when does the FBI plan to raid Biden’s various homes, to find out if there are more illegally removed, classified documents in Biden’s possession?
Haha, good one.
People, PLEASE. Don’t fly off the deep end. This is TOTALLY DIFFERENT. I’m not sure how yet, but the democrats will be telling us all about it, very soon.
“Tonight we defunded Biden’s army of IRS agents”
Except they didn’t.
The bill likely won’t pass the Senate.
And even if does, FJB would veto it.
That’s why it was so traitorous of McTurdous to pass the budget billion last month. May he rot in hell.
If you read the comments one says this is not a bill…The House can just hold back the funding apparently

Congress is so convoluted it seems very few even know how anything actually works
Taco is wrong.
As the other comments point out.
Funding was already authorized in the bill passed last month in the Omnibus $1.7T bill.
Some parts of that authorize spending over 10 years even. Not sure if new IRS agents are part of that.
Yep and with the exception of a few decent Republicans they are no different than the Democrats. More circus to distract the public.
The Freedom Caucus is in Complete Control Now IMO
140 of the 222 Republican House members are said to be MAGA ( they verifyably are 2020 election deniers)
Shall see over the next 2 years what they can do
