Representative government is so 18th century. Government "of the people, by the people, for the people" is so 19th century. Dictatorship is so 20th century, now we have globalist rule by unelected international bodies, that's the 21st century way.

Hey Mark, is Congressional “action” an oxymoron? Sorry man, the temptation was just too great:-). Keep up the good work, if I don’t get my daily MIH fix my day just isn’t complete!!

You can cover it up, but you can’t hide the smell.

BTW, I was hoping that someone would pour water on her before she left. I always liked that part of the movie.

We, unfortunately, are living through the sad consequences of unelected globalist “leaders” installed as head of state in the “Western Democracies.” I still hear in my head the observation that Rush Limbaugh made about elections before he passed away. He correctly predicted that powerful interests would soon do away with troublesome elections. If the outcome can not be controlled, elections will be done away with. Elections today are only about the illusion of choice. If they are held at all. Nobody in Britain even voted for that Sunak guy. He was literally installed as prime minister without a vote ever being held by parliament or by the people. Crazy town. Some democrats they’re protecting over there. Plus it doesn’t hurt that today elections themselves have become a multi-billion dollar industry. Lots and lots of funny money sloshing around and individuals becoming fabulously wealthy controlling the outcome of “elections.”Elections for fun and profit. Wow, how I miss Rush’s insight.

Yep. Ever nearer to that moment.

I think that Kevin McCarthy should insist that Jan 6 Committee continue its work, while, at the same time, re-constituting its membership. He should also insist that ALL documents remain within possession of House and ALL employees remain on job so that House can continue this work. He should also assert that employees are subject to duty of confidentiality and that any breaches will be pursued.

Perhaps this tactic explains the rush to prevent that by preemptively getting it all out of the House.

Absolutely correct, Steve.

If McCarthy is speaker that agenda will be pro forma at best. Probably buried

It's beyond parody right now. It must be depressing being a writer at the Babylon Bee when real life does parody and satire so much better.

Where did optimism figure into that?

Optimist!

An electron microscope will be necessary to view the atomic scale of Congressional action that is likely.

I'm afraid that the RNC uses fraud in the primary selections, that way the scum continues to float on top of the swamp waters.

Perhaps with the solidification of divorce in Western culture, and the institution of companionate marriage as the ideal without regard to production and maintenance of children, it becomes plausible to deny that the interests of one spouse affects the other spouse. Both may work and either may be the primary breadwinner. Almost offensive to think Nancy is swayed by Paul's trading, or Ted is swayed by Heidi's dealings, or Rishi cares about the flows of Akshata's wealth. How dare you!
