Septua's JournalI don't understand why the Jan 6 Committee...
..is concerned over the possible appearance of conducting a partisan witch hunt to get Donald Trump. That's what Dan Goldman said today on Deadline White House, relative to the Committee making criminal referrals to DOJ. Goldman has had the opinion all along that DOJ should be in the process of investigating the Jan 6 insurrection based on all the evidence already floating around.
And I don't disagree with that but with everything everybody already knows, where does any hint of partisan witch hunt activity exist? Trump lost the election, everybody knows it. Trump tried to get swing state election officials to nullify their election results and everybody knows it. Trump tried to get Pence to not certify the electoral vote count and everybody knows it. Trump spent an hour at the Jan 6 rally stoking the crowd with rigged election lies, stolen election lies, Democrat and media conspiracy lies, 'got to fight like hell' comments, totally unsubstantiated 'proof' of a rigged election lies...over and over and over. And after the riot began, he let it run for 3 hours and everybody knows it.
Donald Trump, 100 Republican Senators and Representatives, along with several lawyers and radical right personalities devised a plan to undo the 2020 election that would keep Trump in the White House, which is an attempted coup d' état. Any investigation, by any group of investigators, is a necessary and logical attempt to determine what Trump knew and when did he know it.
The Republicans are already calling the investigation partisan...might as well forget about possible appearances. If DOJ doesn't start the investigation, make the damned criminal referral.
Who cares what Putin thinks?

Can someone explain Senator Blackburn's question...
..on defining 'woman'? Was it something aimed at LGBT?
Why Biden does what he's doing.
No one is happy with the Ukraine situation but Biden has pulled off the most sensible and practical strategy.

Say what?
I was amused at the expressions on Judge Jackson's face today as she listened to various irrelevant questions from Senators with political agenda.

Hunter's LAPTOP is back in the news
Wasn't that issue put to bed way back? And never really was an issue to begin with? Hunter did some business in Ukraine, made some money and Trump wanted to call it some kind of scandal?
I saw the resurrection in a Tweet from Jordan, retweeting a New York Post article. 
A no-fly zone is not an option.
Everyday the topic comes up on cable news. I don’t believe everybody fully grasps what it would entail, including the President of Ukraine.

Blame Trump for the inflation...
Cotton’s view, laid out in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, places the blame for inflation squarely on Jerome Powell, the Fed’s chairman. “Mr. Powell’s Fed has forced millions of American families to choose whether to pay the mortgage, feed their families, fill up their gas tanks, heat their homes or buy Christmas presents,” he argues.
Cotton makes this case in the course of explaining his forthcoming vote against Powell’s renomination. And obviously, Cotton is not trying to blame Trump (whose name does not appear in his column). But, while anything Powell does in his second term will be on Biden, the reason Powell has the job in the first place is that Donald Trump appointed him.
Trump selected Powell in large part because he deemed his predecessor, Janet Yellen, too short to effectively handle monetary policy. Once in office, Powell was an inflation dove, leaving interest rates low in order to run the economy hot. Trump was constantly demanding Powell push interest rates even lower.

Russia, Ukraine, Putin & Trump.
Has everyone forgotten Trump wanted to build a hotel in Moscow?
