Pelosi got owned by the progressives in her own party.  The progressive caucus in the House is over 100 members now and nothing is going to move solely through the Democrat party without them influencing it.

The reason for pointing this out is that it presents an interesting possibility - can Nancy figure out how to work with Republicans to get the president's agenda passed, or at least something that can be called the president's agenda?  For the good of the Democrat party, she cannot allow progressives to gain more power or they will control the entire agenda.  That means shutting them out of legislation and the only place she can turn to for help is Republicans.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend?  Let's see who Pelosi considers the bigger threat?

It's a change...who will take advantage of it?

Is something bigger going on?  There's no proof of this, but I've been told there is non public evidence.  Of course, that means we need to maintain doubt, but if this is true, there is no way Biden can remain in office, or out of jail.

Purely hypothetically, what would happen if an energy company wanted to tap the oil fields in Afghanistan and make lots of money selling that oil?  But, what if the current government was unfavorable for that idea?  Then suppose that company had deadly and destructive evidence of massive corruption by the current US President and his son, evidence that would put them on trial for corruption and treason?  Of course, they would withhold this evidence if the president delivered the country to a new regime which was amiable to the idea of getting rich selling the country's oil reserves to them.

What if that company's name was Burisma?

As I said - the core evidence hasn't been made public.  It may never be because it can't be verified. But the pieces line up so incredibly well that I think the possibility that this is true has to be looked into.  The source is Glenn Beck and he tends not to push these things out unless there's at least some evidence behind them.

To say "bigger than Watergate" is actually an understatement.

I'm not sure how many here managed to stay awake for Joe's speech.  Tim Scott's speech afterwards is significantly more riveting.

Despite the frame, it's actually YouTube.

Representative Brian Babin says Democrats are spending like a drunk sailor.

As a former drunk sailor, I object to that. It is well known that sailors will stop spending once they run out of money.

A PSA, because you won't see this on POA.

The Archdiocese of New Orleans, in light of guidance from the Vatican, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and The National Catholic Bioethics Center affirm that though there was some lab testing that utilized the abortion-derived cell line, the two vaccines currently available from Pfizer and Moderna do not rely on cell lines from abortions in the manufacturing process and therefore can be morally acceptable for Catholics as the connection to abortion is extremely remote.

It is under the same guidance that the archdiocese must instruct Catholics that the latest vaccine from Janssen/Johnson & Johnson is morally compromised as it uses the abortion-derived cell line in development and production of the vaccine as well as the testing.

Not exactly unexpected

Observation - the problems with the election were at a state level and it is within the power of the state to fix them. 

I have already asked my state representatives to order an external audit of election procedures to probe for weaknesses and non-compliance.  I've also asked them to set a formal standard for certification of an election so that if rules are not followed, an election cannot be certified.  Obviously they're not going to do it just because I ask, but it's what I can do. 

North Carolina only avoided the spotlight because the Trump victory was so large here.  Otherwise, there was one House race that they refused to certify, the NC-9th district has no representation right now.  The new redo election will be conducted soon. 

If you want things fixed, fix them in your states.  If it really bothers you, move to Michigan, Pennsylvania or Georgia and work to fix them there.  Elections are a state activity, Congress really gets no say in the matter. 

If you don't want to try to fix things, IMO you have no real leg to stand on for complaining about them.

Hearing something about Ukraine putting out a felony warrant for Joe Biden related to bribery charges over Shokin being fired.

This sounds bizarre. Anyone have more information?
