In an unbelievable show of abject ignorance and lack of decorum, a Democratic state lawmaker pretty much outed himself as likely a rapey creep while trying to dunk on Joe Biden’s accuser, Tara Reade.
New Hampshire Dem Rep Richard Komi says a man can only penetrate a woman’s vagina with “cooperation from the woman.”
Komi is a member of the New Hampshire state legislature.
I mean how many creepy falsehoods can you shove in a tweet? Because he seemed to hit all of them. After someone slapped him a few times he actually deleted the tweet and apologized:
“I regret the poor choice of words that I used,” Komi said. “It kind of portrayed me as someone who doesn’t care about women or the victims of sexual assault. That is not the case.”
“It’s regrettable that I used those words, those words do not reflect the person I am. I wish that I had chosen my words more carefully, and I do apologize,” he said.
Yeah, regrettable doesn’t quite cover it, but it’s a start I guess. He says that he’s going to look into resigning in the next few days. I can’t say that he deserves that, but I wouldn’t be totally opposed to it either.
I notice that he has shut down his Twitter account, which makes me wonder what else he has tweeted and is hiding. He also changed his profile to say “former” member of the House of Representatives, so maybe he’s already made his decision about resigning…

Utah Senator Mitt Romney, our “favorite RINO” (Republican in name only) just made headlines after teaming up with a Democrat again.
It’s clear that Mitt Romney is finished and has already been put to pasture by the rest of the Republicans. So it seems he’s trying to get involved in whatever he can – as long as it involves criticising Trump.
This latest move is absolutely no different. Check out what he just sent to the President.
From DeseretNews:
With trillions of taxpayer dollars being spent, it is critically important for the administration to ensure full transparency and willingness for independent oversight
Did you catch that?
Romney and Democrat Jon Tester sent a letter to President Donald Trump essentially saying: please do a good job. How amazingly helpful you are Mitt! (sarcasm)
He reminds me of the annoying person standing over your shoulder while you are carefully working as they say “Don’t mess up!”
They go on in the letter to explain that Trump is supposed to appoint someone to a new position for Special Inspector General.
Thank you Captain Obvious! I’m still confused as to why Romney thinks Trump wouldn’t already know this given that The President signed the bill personally!
Just another example of Democrats (and RINOs) treating Trump like he’s a child, when really he is smarter than all of them.
I can remember a time when Senators did work that benefited the people they represent. Remember that?
We need to go back to when politicians worked for the people, and not just to satisfy their own self-interests. Trump is perfectly capable of navigating us through this storm and he sure doesn’t need pests like Romney buzzing in his ear the whole time.
Go do some actual work Romney.
Please SHARE if you are tired of hearing from Mitt Romney for good!
Following in line with prominent left-wing lawmakers, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden told virtual CNN town hall audiences Thursday there might be no time like the present to expand the scope of federal economic and environmental policy.
According to Biden, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and
its ensuing economic fallout have provided the nation with an
“opportunity” to move forward with progressive policy long believed to
be unachievable — particularly on the issue of climate change.
“We have to look at it totally
differently than we have before,” Biden told hosts Anderson Cooper and
medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta. “I think the way we get through
this is we have to deal with stimulating the economy, but then we have
to deal with recovery. Recovery. And the way you deal with recovery is
you think much bigger than we have before.
“It’s like the New Deal. Think of every
great act, every great change that’s taken place. It’s come out of a
crisis. … What we did, we expanded opportunity. And I think we have an
opportunity to significantly change the mindset of the American people —
things they weren’t ready to do even two, three years ago. …
“We have an opportunity now to take in a
recovery act, a real recovery, we can fundamentally change the science
relating to global warming and we can create, seriously create, 10
million good-paying jobs. We can do it. It’s within our power to do it.”
With the U.S. economy bleeding more than
22 million jobs amid government orders shutting down of so-called
nonessential businesses, according to Axios,
Biden suggested Thursday that government jobs programs in the energy
sector should be an essential part of the coming economic recovery.
Seemingly at the forefront of Biden’s
plan for such an expansion was a nationwide infrastructure program aimed
at introducing roughly 550,000 electric car charging stations along
federal interstates.
As per usual, the swamp reacts to any crisis by lining its pockets and by protecting its own. And sadly, the coronavirus crisis is no differ...
Speaking to the Daily Caller, those officials alleged that while negotiating the stimulus with U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, Pelosi tried to lobby for “several” provisions that stalled bipartisan commitment to the effort. One was a mandate for up to $1 billion to reimburse laboratory claims, which White House officials say would set a precedent of health spending without protections outlined in the Hyde Amendment.
The Hyde Amendment blocks clinics that perform abortions from receiving federal funding, and Democrats have pushed the Trump administration to end it since he was elected in 2016.
“A new mandatory funding stream that does not have Hyde protections would be unprecedented,” one White House official explained.
“Under the guise of protecting people, Speaker Pelosi is working to make sure taxpayer dollars are spent covering abortion — which is not only backwards, but goes against historical norms.”
A second White House official referred to the provision as a “slush fund” and yet another questioned “what the Hyde Amendment and abortion have to do with protecting Americans from coronavirus?”
Pelosi and Mnuchin were engaged in negotiations Thursday morning to finalize the text of the legislation…
… House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Thursday morning he was totally opposed to Pelosi’s plan and wanted to draft a new proposal over the next 24-48 hours.
Pelosi pushed back on that suggestion during her Thursday press conference.
“Families have needs,” she stated. “We don’t need 48 hours. We need to just make a decision to help families right now.”
“I’m not sticking around because they don’t want to agree to language,” Pelosi said of Congress’s upcoming recess week. “Right now we have to find our common ground, work together, to get this done as soon as possible.”

California has been a Democrat stronghold for a long time.
Everybody knows this. And high-ranking leaders like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, and Maxine Waters keep the state very liberal.
But a major shift could be right around the corner…
Typically, Democrats hold the edge in any new seat election in the state. And the latest numbers show Dems still have that edge.
However, that edge is definitely dwindling.
For the first time in a while, nine Democrat seats in California actually appear to be vulnerable.
The GOP is making a BIG push to take those seats back!
Via the San Francisco Chronicle:
Republicans took a strong first step in the primary election toward grabbing back at least some of the seven California congressional districts that Democrats flipped in 2018.
…Republicans have so far combined for a majority of the votes in six of those seven districts. GOP candidates have solid leads in two of them.
Wow! Is California facing a big red wave?
It certainly appears possible.
The left’s vice-like grip on sunny California might be weakening, if these latest results are accurate. As a result, a definite change of policy and ideology is in the air.
As noted by the NOQ Report:
These are nine seats currently held by Democrats where Republicans have the upper hand based on analysis of Tuesday’s primary votes.
…nine seats showed Republicans either within striking distance or outright beating Democrats.
Who could’ve predicted this?
Maybe the state’s homeless problem and other issues have finally backed up on the current controlling party. Maybe the citizens are clamoring for something different.
Or perhaps the recent impeachment attempt of the president, led by a few California politicians, didn’t go over well.
Whatever the reason, Democrats should be worrying. Apparently, they’re no longer dominating in California … and that’s huge news.
Let’s hope the red wave hits Cali hard in 2020!
SHARE if you think the GOP could flip California House seats!
Hillary Clinton has been a slippery operator for decades—but under Trump, it looks like they might finally catch her.
Many Americans flat-out gave up hope that Hillary would see justice, but we’ve been patient.
And it looks like our patience has paid off.
A boatload of new evidence on her email investigation just went public. And it should make Clinton nervous… REALLY nervous.
Via Fox News:
“The State Department revealed Monday that it has identified ‘multiple security incidents‘ involving current or former employees’ handling of Hillary Clinton’s emails…
…and that 23 ‘violations’ and seven ‘infractions’ have been issued as part of the department’s ongoing investigation.”
Yes, 23 violations and 7 infractions—that’s a mountain of problems!
I don’t know about you, but if this was Trump, Democrats would be calling for immediate impeachment.
And it gets worse for her. State Department Assistant Secretary Mary Elizabeth Taylor added that “this number will likely change as the review progresses.”
Translation: that’s more than 23 violations and 7 infractions. Probably a lot more.
The State Department calls the situation “serious,” but President Donald Trump went a step further on Twitter:
“…This is really big. Never admitted before. Highly Classified Material. Will the Dems investigate this?”
Do you think Dems will investigate? Right, that’s what I thought too.
But the State Department is still digging, and even former FBI Director James Comey said that Clinton’s handling of classified information was “extremely careless.”
And don’t forget, then-FBI general counsel James Baker testified that Hillary should’ve been prosecuted … but of course, it never happened.
But since then, investigators have dug up even more violations.
Will all this result in actual charges against Hillary Clinton?
It really does look like the government is closing in this time, and Trump thinks she shouldn’t get away with it.
Can you imagine the FBI treating her like Roger Stone, surrounding her home with agents and waking her up in pajamas to take her away?
So, fellow Americans, what should be her punishment be?
We want to hear what you think in the comments below,
Bill Barr just dropped the hammer on the hypocritical Democrats and this wound will take years to heal.
Bill Barr just broke up a massive scheme to illegally funnel foreign money into darn near every Democratic political candidate and organization.
The list of the Dem organizations taking this illegal money is astounding – almost every Dem state organization and many super PAC’s including the big one Priorities USA.
All of the leading names in the Democratic party took in this money including Adam Schiff and Ted Lieu, Jon Tester, Cory Booker, Hillary Clinton, etc.
A real rogues gallery if ever there was.
To add insult to Adam Schiff’s injury, one of those charged is George Nader a key witness in the Mueller investigation.
Nader is a convicted child molester. Nader works as a straw man for the middle east sheiks and it is clear now he was to influence certain members of Trump’s team as well as the entire Democratic party establishment.
Earlier today, an indictment was unsealed against the CEO of an online payment processing company, and seven others, charging them with conspiring to make and conceal conduit and excessive campaign contributions, and related offenses, during the U.S. presidential election in 2016 and thereafter.
Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and Assistant Director in Charge Timothy R. Slater of the FBI’s Washington Field Office made the announcement.
A federal grand jury in the District of Columbia indicted Ahmad “Andy” Khawaja, 48, of Los Angeles, California, on Nov. 7, 2019, along with George Nader, Roy Boulos, Rudy Dekermenjian, Mohammad “Moe” Diab, Rani El-Saadi, Stevan Hill and Thayne Whipple. The 53 count indictment charges Khawaja with two counts of conspiracy, three counts of making conduit contributions, three counts of causing excessive contributions, 13 counts of making false statements, 13 counts of causing false records to be filed, and one count of obstruction of a federal grand jury investigation. Nader is charged with conspiring with Khawaja to make conduit campaign contributions, and related offenses. Boulos, Dekermenjian, Diab, El-Saadi, Hill, and Whipple are charged with conspiring with Khawaja and each other to make conduit campaign contributions and conceal excessive contributions, and related offenses.
According to the indictment, from March 2016 through January 2017, Khawaja conspired with Nader to conceal the source of more than $3.5 million in campaign contributions, directed to political committees associated with a candidate for President of the United States in the 2016 election. By design, these contributions appeared to be in the names of Khawaja, his wife, and his company. In reality, they allegedly were funded by Nader. Khawaja and Nader allegedly made these contributions in an effort to gain influence with high-level political figures, including the candidate. As Khawaja and Nader arranged these payments, Nader allegedly reported to an official from a foreign government about his efforts to gain influence.
The indictment also alleges that, from March 2016 through 2018, Khawaja conspired with Boulos, Dekermenjian, Diab, El-Saadi, Hill, and Whipple to conceal Khawaja’s excessive contributions, which totaled more than $1.8 million, to various political committees. Among other things, these contributions allegedly allowed Khawaja to host a private fundraiser for a presidential candidate in 2016 and a private fundraising dinner for an elected official in 2018.
The indictment further alleges that, from June 2019 through July 2019, Khawaja obstructed a grand jury investigation of this matter in the District of Columbia. Knowing that a witness had been called to testify before the grand jury, Khawaja allegedly provided that witness with false information about Nader and his connection to Khawaja’s company. Boulos, Diab, Hill, and Whipple also are charged with obstructing the grand jury’s investigation by lying to the FBI.
Currently, Nader is in federal custody on other charges.
Ever since joining the British royal family, Meghan Markle has been breaking royal rules left and right by doing things like bashing President Donald Trump when she is supposed to be politically neutral.
Now, it appears that Queen Elizabeth has finally had enough, as it’s just been revealed that she recently lost her temper and scolded Meghan in front of the whole family.
Fox News reported that royal expert Kate Nicholl revealed that the Queen shut Meghan down recently after the Duchess of Sussex threw a fit over a dish that was prepared for her by royal staffers.
Nicholl explained that before her wedding last year, Meghan insisted on their being a “macrobiotic alternative” for her Hollywood guests that follow this diet.
“[Meghan] got very upset when she felt that she could taste egg in a dish when she was told there was no egg in there, and she said, ‘No, I can taste it, I can taste there’s egg in this dish,’” Nicholl said. “I think there was a bit of an upset when suddenly the queen walked in because of course, this was Windsor Castle, this is her home.
And she just quietly took Meghan to the side and said, ‘Meghan, in this family, we don’t speak to people like that.’”
This comes after a damning 2016 video surfaced in which Meghan made it clear that she is no fan of Trump’s.
“Yes, of course, Trump is divisive, think about female voters alone, right? I think it was in 2012 the Republican Party lost the female vote by 12 points; that is a huge number and with as misogynistic as Trump is, and so vocal about it, that is a huge chunk of it,” she said in the video.
“You’re not just voting for a woman if it’s Hillary because she’s a woman, but certainly because Trump has made it easy to see that you don’t really want that kind of world that he’s painting.”
This video is particularly bad for Meghan because the British royal family is supposed to remain politically neutral. It seems that the Queen has had quite enough of Meghan breaking her rules, and if the duchess does not get her act together soon, she may find herself getting thrown out of the royal family altogether.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has had enough of the do-nothing bureaucrats in Congress. With no end in sight to their internal bickering – word is the liberal wing of the Dems are revolting against Pelosi and Trump’s tentative emergency border funding bill – he had to take control of the situation.
He ripped Congress, calling them “group of reprobates” for not addressing this crisis. Then he did what he had to and sent 1,000 troops to help.
FromBig League Politics: Texas Governor Greg Abbott called Congress a “group of reprobates” before deploying 1,000 troops of the Texas Army National Guard on June 21, 2019.
The other members of the Texas “Big Three”, House Speaker Dennis Bonnen and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, were also not pleased with Congress’s inaction on the matter.
The Texas leaders were in agreement with their frustration towards the U.S. Congress and its feckless behavior in addressing the rising number of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border. The leaders issued their following thoughts on the matter:
Congress is a group of reprobates for not addressing the crisis on our border.”
— Gov. Abbott
“It is time for Congress to quit denying this is a crisis and address the problem.”
— Lt. Governor Patrick
“Shame on Congress if they won’t do their job.”
— Speaker Bonnen
Governor Greg Abbott told the press, “In the past 3 weeks alone, more than 45,000 people have been apprehended crossing the southern border.”
Governor Abbot, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, and House Speaker Dennis Bonnen were alongside Major General Tracy Norris of the Texas Army National Guard when the Texas Governor decided to deploy 1,000 troops to the southern border
The political trio highlighted the 45,000 migrants coming from 52 different countries as justification for this action.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) plans on opening two new holding facilities in the Rio Grande Valley and El Paso.
Patrick stressed, “The massive increase in illegal immigration — on pace to exceed a million people this year — has been an emergency for months and Texas must continue to do everything we can to help secure our border.”
Given their affinity for open borders, the Texas Democrat Party released a statement right after the announcement, declaring,“Deploying 1000 new troops to the border is reckless, unnecessary, and further serves to harm our relationships with our strategic allies in Central America and Mexico.”
The Republican Party of Texas (RPT) Chairman James Dickey praised the Texas government’s move saying in a statement, “The Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Speaker [have taken] the responsibility seriously to secure our border in a humanitarian manner in spite of the Democrat-led House of Representatives refusing to engage in meaningful immigration reform.”

The lawyer for Covington Catholic High School Nick Sandmann just released a devastating video that should have some news organizations and certain celebrities very nervous. The video destroys the media narrative and exposes what they did to the kid as the smear job of the century. Lin Wood said he released the full video to show “the full truth” of what happened to his client. Look, the media and others rushed to judge these kids and they have every right to fight back. In this 24/7 news culture where your whole life can be defined and destroyed by a 30-second video clip, the gatekeepers must do a better job and the courts may be the only place to hold power to account.
Some say a 15-minute video is too long to go viral. Will we allow incomplete 30-second video clips to be basis for agenda-driven false accusations & threats against a 16-year old student? Please share the full truth about what was done to Nick Sandmann. https://t.co/QGglyZwiIa
Attorneys representing Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann and his family indicated on Friday that they have sent letters for potential lawsuits to over 50 entities ranging from Democratic politicians to celebrities to media figures.
“The legal counsel representing Nick and his family, Todd McMurtry and experienced libel and defamation lawyer L. Lin Wood of Atlanta, have said they will seek justice for the harm allegedly done to the teen,” The Enquirer reported. “McMurtry is with the law firm of Hemmer Defrank Wessels and has practiced law in Greater Cincinnati since 1991. He said a team of seven lawyers has been working full-time to review the media accounts of what happened.”
“This week they have prepared documentation preservation letters addressed to organizations and individuals they believe may have defamed or libeled Nick with false reporting.”
“They know they crossed the line,” McMurtry said. “Do they want 12 people in Kentucky to decide their fate? I don’t think so.”

President Trump has weighed in on the controversy swirling around Virginia Governor Bruce Northam.
If you missed it, an old yearbook from Norham’s time in medical school surfaced and unlike Brett Kavanaugh, there was no explaining away what was there.
Kavanaugh’s hit pieces were smear jobs – taking phrases out of context and twisting their meanings while Northam’s photo evidence of blackface and KKK robes is plain.
Then the hapless Democrat tried to lie his way out of it which just made it worse.
“Yesterday I took responsibility for content that appeared on my page that was clearly racist and offensive. I will not excuse the content of the photo,” Northam said.
“It was offensive, racist and despicable. I was seeing it for the first time. I was unaware of what was on my page. I was appalled that they appeared on my page,” Northam said at a lengthy press conference at Virginia’s Executive Mansion.
“I believe now I am not either of the people in that photo. It is disgusting, offensive, racist,” Northam added.
Enter President Trump.
“Democrat Governor Ralph Northam of Virginia just stated, ‘I believe that I am not either of the people in that photo.’
“This was 24 hours after apologizing for appearing in the picture and after making the most horrible statement on ‘super’ late term abortion,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Unforgivable!”
Then Trump added a sad truth – what in the hell was the GOP candidate doing by not discovering these images? If so he wins in a landslide.
“Ed Gillespie, who ran for Governor of the Great State of Virginia against Ralph Northam, must now be thinking Malpractice and Dereliction of Duty with regard to his Opposition Research Staff. If they find that terrible picture before the election, he wins by 20 points!”

Trey Gowdy just landed a new high-profile gig and he deserves it. Trey took to social media to make the announcement that he will be moving to Fox News as a contributor.
This is a good move on many levels – Trey is known as a straight shooter who is not afraid of the hard truths and that is needed more than ever in our political landscape.
The left will be trashing Trey and Fox News when they hear the news, but this is standard procedure for media companies to hire ex-Congressmen.
Trey will moonlight for Fox and will keep his day job at his old law firm in South Carolina. Trey tweeted out: “Appreciative to Fox News for the chance to weigh in on legal/political issues. Sure to be a lot of both in 2019. Practicing law with Nelson Mullins, contributing where appropriate with Fox, and living in South Carolina. Looking forward to a great year,” Gowdy wrote on his Twitter page on Wednesday. From The Hill: Former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) has joined Fox News as a contributor, the network announced Wednesday. Gowdy, who retired from Congress earlier this month, will offer political and legal analysis on Fox News and the Fox Business Network, the outlet said in a press release. The former four-term congressman representing South Carolina’s 4th Congressional District served as chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee during his final two years in office.
Appreciative to Fox News for the chance to weigh in on legal/political issues. Sure to be a lot of both in 2019. Practicing law with Nelson Mullins, contributing where appropriate with Fox, and living in South Carolina. Looking forward to a great year.
From Deadline: Among his appointments during Gowdy’s eight years representing South Carolina’s 4th District, he chaired the House Select Committee on the Benghazi attack and played a key role in Congress’ probe into then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s role in the 2012 terrorist attack that killed four Americans in Libya. He also got plenty of screen time — including many shouted mild expletives — during last year’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Brett Kavanaugh. Gowdy’s hiring follows that of retired Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona joining CBS News on Tuesday; NBC bringing on ex-Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri); and CNN signing as contributors former Ohio Gov. and 2016 GOP presidential candidate John Kasich — who also inked with CAA this month — Andrew Gillum, who ran for Florida governor last year; and ex-Reps. Mia Love (R-Utah) and Luis Guiterrez (D-Illinois). McCaskill and Love fell victim to midterm elections in November.
