AOC Throws Tantrum On House Floor…

By

(RepublicanWire.org) – AOC had a meltdown on the floor of the House after Congress passed the Parents Bill of Rights Act in a 213-208 vote. No Democrats voted in favor of the bill.

The Parents Bill of Rights was championed by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and GOP conference chairwoman Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY). It will require public schools to disclose all curricula, reading lists, library books, and budget costs, as well as force administrators and teachers to seek parents’ consent before changing a child’s gender status.

AOC said: “This Republican bill is asking the government to force the outing of LGBT people before they are ready. When we talk about progressive values, I can say what my progressive value is, and that is freedom over fascism.”

Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.) said:

“This bill is not complex or complicated. Nor should it be partisan or polarizing and contrary to what you may hear from my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, it is not an attack on our hard-working teachers, who will always be the heroes in my eyes.”

Stefanik said:

“Parents are the primary stakeholders in their child’s education, and House Republicans are working to protect their right to know what is going on inside their child’s classroom.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said:

“Extreme MAGA Republicans don’t want the children of America to learn about the Holocaust,” referencing efforts by a local school board in Tennessee that had removed the graphic novel “Maus” from one of its reading lists.

“They want to ban books, they want to bully the LGBTQ+ community, they want to bring guns into classrooms, kindergarten and above. That’s their educational agenda.

“They want to ban a book called ‘Melissa,’ a book describing, in very personal terms, the experience of a trans girl beginning to understand her identity,” he said.

Hunter Biden Ordered To Hand Over Business Documents…

By

(RepublicanWire.org) – House Oversight Republicans ratcheted up their investigation into Hunter Biden Thursday, calling on the president’s son and his associates to hand over documents that allegedly show illicit business dealings.

The committee demanded Hunter Biden, James Biden, and Eric Schwerin hand over documents concerning their foreign dealings. Critics allege Hunter used his father’s political clout to secure overseas deals that could have compromised the president.

“The American people deserve transparency and accountability about the Biden family’s influence peddling,” said Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., who chairs the oversight committee. “The Oversight Committee is committed to exposing the waste, fraud, and abuse that has taken place at the highest levels of our government.”

The committee is particularly interested in finding out to what extent President Joe Biden was involved in the dealings, or at least what he was aware of, arguing that if foreign entities know of any wrongdoing, it could compromise national security.

Oversight Republicans vowed after taking a majority in November to make this investigation one of their top concerns.

Hunter is currently under federal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.

“Evidence obtained in our investigation reveals the Biden family business model is built on Joe Biden’s political career and connections,” Comer said. “Biden family members attempted to sell access around the world, including individuals who were connected to the Chinese Communist Party, to enrich themselves to the detriment of American interests. If President Biden is compromised by deals with foreign adversaries and they are impacting his decision making, this is a threat to national security.”

The Hunter investigation has many legal avenues and opportunities for prosecution aside from foreign entanglements, including potential tax violations and false statements to federal law enforcement. Politically, Hunter’s investigation further complicates Biden’s 2024 aspirations, especially now that the president faces his own investigation over a trove of classified documents found in his possession from his time in the Obama administration.

Hunter has until Feb. 22 to respond to the committee’s letter. The committee is considering new ethics laws to explicitly prohibit certain elements of Hunter’s behavior.

“Evidence shows that you engaged in foreign business deals with individuals who were connected to the Chinese Communist Party and received significant amounts of money from foreign companies without providing any known legitimate services,” the committee’s letter to Hunter said. “The Committee is investigating President Biden’s knowledge of and role in these foreign business deals to assess whether he has compromised our national security at the expense of the American people. You and your associates’ financial conduct raises significant ethics and national security concerns.”

Epstein’s Client List Could Soon Be Revealed…

By

(RepublicanWire.org) – Fox News host Tucker Carlson is usually the one who talks about things no one else will. Even though mainstream media has forgotten or buried the story, America still wants to know what happened to Jeffrey Epstein and his client list.

Carlson raised some important points on his show about Epstein and also demanded the new GOP Congress open an investigation into his death.

He said, “It’s all very strange and the story gets much stranger once you start pressing a little bit. We’ve pressed pretty hard for the last few days on this question, not because we have any special affection for Jeffrey Epstein.”

“We’ve pressed because you don’t want to live in a country where it’s possible to murder people in federal lockup, cover up the killings, and then get away with them. That’s scary.”

“That should not be allowed in this or any other civilized place, but in the case of Jeffrey Epstein, it appears that it was allowed and on one level, you can see why it was. This is one of those crimes that has no natural constituency pushing to solve it.”

Of course, no one wants to solve it. The very people who could solve it and bring to light the truth are the ones with the most to lose.

It has been three-and-a-half years since Epstein died, and no one has gotten to the bottom of it.

Even Ghislaine Maxwell, his partner in crime, admitted that she doesn’t even believe that Epstein committed suicide in prison.

Tucker mentioned that the only two people ever punished for Epstein’s death were two low-level guards, who fell asleep on duty the night he died. They both pleaded guilty to falsifying government records, but then last year, suddenly, an Obama-appointed judge dropped all charges against both of them.

The FBI and the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General never issued a report explaining how Epstein died.

Tucker also brought spoke about how the case could have been solved or looked into by Bill Barr, and yet he closed the case.

“By the end of 2019,” Barr writes in his memoir, “I was confident that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide by hanging himself.”

Tucker shared more of Barr’s memoir:

“I personally reviewed that video footage,” Barr writes. “It shows conclusively that between the time Epstein was locked in a cell at 7:49 p.m. on the night of Aug. 9 and the time he was discovered the next morning at 6:30, no one entered his tier.” Therefore, Bill Barr explained, we can know for sure that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. In his book, Barr ends this section on Epstein with a self-congratulatory note. “The management changes I made at the time (to the federal prison system) were good ones, and I think the agency is slowly on its way back.”

Tucker at the end of his segment called on the Department of Justice to investigate fully Epstein’s death.

“For moving on four years now, there has never been an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s death, the death of an American citizen. Now, we can only speculate as to why that is, but all the explanations are bad and ominous. Maybe someone in the new Republican Congress should look into all of this, not because Jeffrey Epstein was an American hero, but because for once it would be nice to see the federal government forced to tell the truth about something.”

The new GOP-led Congress should take advantage of this moment, and truly look into Epstein’s death and finally reveal the names from his client list.

Incoming GOP Congresswoman Threatened For Not Backing Kevin McCarthy…

By

(RepublicanWire.org) – Incoming GOP congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (FL) said Friday that she was threatened by a sitting House member to commit to backing House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for speaker.

“I got a very inappropriate phone call,” Luna told Steve Bannon in an interview. “Another member had called me basically to whip votes for the speaker’s race and ultimately ended up threatening me.”

Luna, who is set to represent Florida’s 13th District, said it was a female member who issued the threat.

“I let that female member know that I wasn’t going to basically be threatened,” she said. “I don’t think I need to put that person’s name out there because I think that they are probably embarrassed about doing that.”

McCarthy’s office did not respond to the Washington Examiner’s request for comment.

Luna does not think incidents such as hers are uncommon in Congress, she said.

“I’m not going to be bullied,” the incoming congresswoman said. “If you are going to negotiate in good faith, negotiate in good faith, but don’t resort to threatening people.”

She expects some anger when she arrives in Washington, D.C., she said.

“I’m doing this not because I want to go hang out in D.C.,” the Floridian said. “I’m doing this because it needs to be done right now.”

Luna lauded a few of her colleagues but made it clear that her vote for speaker Tuesday is hers alone.

“I will not be voting for anyone that does not embrace that motion to vacate the chair, and I don’t care who that is,” she said. McCarthy has since made the concession of lowering the threshold for a motion to vacate.

Several other Republicans share Luna’s ambivalence to electing a speaker who would not lower the threshold on a motion to vacate the seat.

McCarthy has tried to stymie such sentiment regarding his potential election.

“Just as the Speaker is elected by the whole body, we will restore the ability for any 5 members of the majority party to initiate a vote to remove the Speaker if so warranted,” he wrote in a letter to colleagues Sunday.

Conservatives Have Been Betrayed By Mitch McConnell…

By

(RepublicanWire.org) – Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell is not a very popular guy on the right at the moment.

Conservatives are unhappy about the way that McConnell handled the midterms, as well as his willingness to work with Democrats on spending for Ukraine.

Conservative analyst Mollie Hemingway is now saying that Republicans are going to keep having problems until McConnell is no longer in office.

She writes at The Federalist:

GOP Can’t Be Successful Until Mitch McConnell Is Gone

Comments Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell made on Tuesday show why he has become the single biggest obstacle to GOP success.

The Kentucky Republican claimed giving more money to Ukraine is “the No. 1 priority for the United States right now, according to most Republicans.” The new $1.7 trillion Democrat spending bill he enthusiastically supports would give Ukraine another roughly $45 billion in assistance, bringing the total over the past eight months to more than $100 billion, a staggering figure even if it weren’t happening during a time of inflation, looming recession, and other serious domestic problems.

The comment about Republican priorities is so false as to be completely delusional. Among the many concerns Republican voters have with Washington, D.C., a failure to give even more money to Ukraine simply does not rank.

A large coalition of conservative groups, including the Heritage Foundation and the Conservative Partnership Institute, publicly opposed ramming through more Ukraine support during the lame-duck session before Republicans take over control of the House on Jan. 3, 2023. Strong pluralities and majorities of Republicans have told pollsters they want decreases, not increases, in foreign spending and global military involvement.

Many Republican voters support helping Ukraine fight Russia’s unjust invasion, but it is absolutely nowhere near their top issue, contrary to McConnell’s false claim.

Conservatives are tired of feeling betrayed.

KJP Blames The GOP For The Chaos At The Border…

By

(RepublicanWire.org) – The Biden White House is blaming Republicans for the historic crisis on the southern border.

Title 42, a pandemic-era program that blocked migrants from seeking asylum in the U.S., ends next week, just days before Christmas, and migrants are staging by the thousands to illegally enter the U.S. when that happens. Officials are saying the numbers crossing into the U.S. from Mexico could reach 14,000 a day — never mind that the numbers currently exceed 8,000 on many days.

But White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre not only claims that President Biden has put in “the work” to secure the border, but that the Republican Party is to blame for the crisis.

The number of migrants flowing into the U.S. under Biden’s watch is staggering at this point and if it continues, will nearly double the estimated population of 11 million illegal immigrants in just 4 years — some experts put the current number in America at 20 million or more. According to federal authorities, 2.76 million people were encountered in the last fiscal year attempting to cross the border illegally. This figure does not include hundreds of thousands of known got-aways. In the previous year, the total was somewhere around 2 million, and to be clear, the pace is only increasing, with border officials stating on Monday that the previous 48 hours saw 16,000 migrant encounters.

Asked about the expected bum rush next week at Thursday’s press briefing, Jean-Pierre said the administration has “an intensive all-of-government effort underway to prepare” — their answer to the problem is to process the wave of humanity faster before releasing them into the U.S.

Jean-Pierre said there are 23,000 agents at the border “working night and day to protect and secure the border,” but that simply is not true. They are overwhelmed with processing the mind-boggling number of migrants encountered daily, as they now cross in battalion-size clips of 1,000 or more.

Jean-Pierre made it a point to blame the Trump administration for its successful efforts to slow the numbers flocking to America.

“What Americans should know is that the president has done the work to deal with what we’re seeing at the border since day one,” she said with a straight face. “What Americans should know is that the president put forth an immigration reform policy to make sure that we’re dealing with a broken system, to make sure that we’re able to protect DREAMers, to make sure that we deal with the backlog that we’re seeing with asylum seekers, to fix the gutted system that was — that has been around for some time but certainly was gutted by the last administration.”

The administration has said all along that the border is secure, and Jean-Pierre used the issue to advocate for immigration reform — see amnesty — that Democrats are pushing.

Axios reported that the Biden administration was considering a new post-Title 42 rule that would impose an asylum ban for roughly five months, but Jean-Pierre took to Twitter earlier this month to reassure migrants that the gates will remain open.

“The Administration is committed to continuing to secure our borders while maintaining safe, orderly and humane processing of migrants,” she tweeted. “This will remain the case when Title 42 is lifted. Reports that indicate U.S. policy will change are inaccurate; no such decisions have been made.”

The real “stunt” is feigning that the crisis is being dealt with when in reality the White House appears to be intentionally exacerbating the problem. To be clear, processing illegal immigrants faster is not going to “fix” the issue — unless the issue is artificially altering voter demographics in America to favor Democrats.

McConnell Makes Shocking Announcement…

By

(RepublicanWire.org) – While the incoming House Republican majority is urging Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to hold leverage on Democrats’ spending agenda before the new Congress, the leader is closing on a deal with Democrats anyway.

Instead of pushing a continuing resolution until after Republicans hold the House after Jan. 3, McConnell said a deal on a yearlong government funding bill are getting “close.”

Democrats said Tuesday they had been willing to pass legislation to keep the government operating past the end of the week and avoid a government shutdown — like was forced on then-President Donald Trump in the middle of his term.

“I think we’re very close to getting an omnibus appropriations bill,” McConnell told reporters after the Tuesday Republican Senate leaders’ lunch.

McConnell ruled out returning to Washington, D.C., to finish the omnibus after Christmas recess if it does not pass by Thursday, Dec. 22.

House Republicans say that McConnell, should only agree to help Democrats fund the government until mid-January. The timeline would give Republicans more leverage in budget negotiations since the party is set to control the House of Representatives. 

“Republican voters fought hard to win back control of the House to take away insane spending control from the Democrats,” said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. “Mitch McConnell is on the verge of taking away House Republicans’ power of the purse next year by making a dirty deal with the Democrats.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene wasn’t alone. Others have urged McConnell to wait for the GOP to be in power, before passing government spending for the entire year.

Mitt Romney Went On Bizarre Tirade…

By

(RepublicanWire.org) – Mitt Romney went on an absolutely BIZARRE tirade that was a rollercoaster of opinions that do not align with the GOP.

When asked if he would support Donald Trump in the 2024 election Romney immediately responded in saying, “absolutely not!”

He went on to back up his statement claiming, “It’s not just because he loses…He’s simply not a person who ought to have the reins of the government of the United States.”

Then the Senator from Utah went on to defend Hunter Biden. Knowing the GOP is actively investigating Hunter for his foreign business deals using his fathers position as Vice President.

Check out what Mitt Romney said to reporters about the Hunter Biden investigations below:

“I think it’s really hard to know what the politics of a course of action might be in this day and age, to know where our party stands, what our base wants, what independent voters want … But I think you have to do what you think is right and I think the American people want us to tackle some of the big challenges we have—immigration, inflation, and so forth—and the other things that divert from those priorities I think are a waste of time,” Romney said signaling that a sitting President’s compromised son was a “waste of time.”

Of course, these comments did not bode well for Romney. Almost immediately after, many conservatives took to Twitter to rip Romney for his bizarre tirade.

A New Possible Contender For The 2024 GOP Presidential Primary…

By

(RepublicanWire.org) – Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) could be gearing up for a 2024 Presidential bid.

Rubio finished third in the GOP’s Presidential primary in 2016, behind former President Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz (Texas).

All the signs point to a possible 2024 bid as Rubio prepares to release his third book, “Decades of Decadence,” on June 13, 2023.

In 2015, months before announcing his intention to seek the Presidency, Rubio released his first book “American Dreams.”

The timing of his third book — the second released in 2021 outside election season — points to jockeying for the GOP primary.

Despite the confirmation of the 272-page book’s release date and publisher (Broadside Books — a division of Harper Collins), nothing exists about the contents of the book.

However, a 2023 book release comes as little exists in the way of Rubio being considered a contender in the 2024 GOP Presidential primaries.

Among the list of possible contenders — Nikki Haley, former Vice President Mike Pence, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, among others — Rubio’s name hasn’t featured.

According to reporting by The Hill, citing two “GOP operatives,” Rubio will likely avail himself for a Presidential race if the opportunity for a bid opened up.

However, another operative noted that Rubio would have lost plenty of the voter base he had in 2016.

The operative pointed to two of Rubio’s surrogates in 2016 — Haley and another potential 2024 contender Senator Tim Scott (S.C.) — fielding Presidential bids of their own.

But the operative pointed to Rubio’s record of wins, being a “great communicator and a very skilled candidate” as reasons Rubio could be viable.

Leaders Are Coming To Grips With Future Of Republican Party…

By

(RepublicanWire.org) – The failure to appeal to voters at a time when the nation has been hammered by the worst inflation in four decades, is being overrun by illegal immigrants and at risk of being sucked into a nuclear Armageddon by the Biden regime’s policies has left some Republicans suggesting that it may be time to tear down the party as it currently exists.

The one-two gut punch of election results from Arizona and Nevada showing that both GOP Senate candidates were declared losers that allowed the fully radicalized Democrat party to retain  their control over the upper chamber drew a strong reaction from Missouri Senator Josh Hawley as survivors pick through the smoldering rubble of a historic lost opportunity.

“The old party is dead. Time to bury it. Build something new,” Hawley tweeted on Saturday after the race in Nevada was called for Democrat Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto who came from behind to defeat Adam Laxalt, her GOP challenger.

Even before Democrat control of the Senate was confirmed, Hawley was highly critical of the GOP establishment for a squandered chance to erect a wall between the most destructive political entity in the nation’s history and hard-pressed Americans who have helplessly watched their country and constitutional rights being dismantled piece by piece by left-wing extremists.

“Washington Republicanism lost big Tuesday night. When your “agenda” is cave to Big Pharma on insulin, cave to Schumer on gun control & Green New Deal (“infrastructure”), and tease changes to Social Security and Medicare, you lose,” he wrote on Thursday.

“What are Republicans actually going to do for working people? How about, to start: tougher tariffs on China, reshore American jobs, open up American energy full throttle, 100k new cops on the street. Unrig the system,” Hawley said in another tweet.

Sen. Hawley is one of several Senate Republicans who have called for the postponement of next week’s leadership elections as discontent with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell grows in the aftermath of the midterm debacle and his lack of support to candidates supported by former President Donald J. Trump like Blake Masters in Arizona who lost his bid to unseat incumbent Democrat Mark Kelly.

On Friday, Florida Senator Marco Rubio who was just easily reelected took to Twitter, urging that the choice in leadership be put off in what many have interpreted as being a thinly veiled shot at McConnell.

“The Senate GOP leadership vote next week should be postponed,” Rubio wrote on Twitter. “First we need to make sure that those who want to lead us are genuinely committed to fighting for the priorities & values of the working Americans (of every background) who gave us big wins in states like #Florida,” he wrote.

“Exactly right. I don’t know why Senate GOP would hold a leadership vote for the next Congress before this election is finished. We have a runoff in #GASenate – are they saying that doesn’t matter? Don’t disenfranchise @HerschelWalker,” agreed Hawley before the Georgia runoff became irrelevant.

Presumably any part of trying “something new” would include a change in course from the failed leadership of McConnell whose fingerprints are all over the midterm disaster.
