Ways and Means Committee Urging Open Bipartisan Meetings

No one wants to be on the board, so one guy and the management company handle everything. I've been on the board before and don't really want to do that again. I think things are managed in an okay (not great) fashion, but I'm worried about not having annual meetings. Is it worth creating a fuss about or should I just keep quiet since I'm not really willing to serve on the board. Just wondering what others think. ...

I've been thinking about the latest twists and turns in American politics. The vast problems facing the country as a whole and diametrically opposed Republican and Democrat Parties. The intractable nature of the argument. And here I am complaining about it and yet I'm just as partisan. Anyone who's read my posts knows I'm a liberal, even though I view the Democratic Party as a massive failure. I look at these two parties we have and shake my head ...

We are going to advance ourselves right into oblivion if something doesn't stop this constant need for better and better technology. Though I know it is human nature to want to make things better, I have noticed in my lifetime more and more dangerous situations created from advancing technology to the levels we have and are continuing to do. This article mentions the FBI, Homeland Security, etc., are all concerned at what is going on and how bad the situation is with cyberattacks.&nb ...

I'm listening to the health care repeal debate. Weiner, as usual, was a little hyperactive during his debate point. The speakers I found most interesting were the doctors that have been elected to Congress. All of them are against the law the way it stands. It just came across the bottom of the screen that if the health care repeal passes, REID will NOT schedule it on the Senate side. That's like saying to heck with what the people want, (I don't want ...

Last month, a bipartisan commission went down in flames in the Senate after 7 republicans who sponsored the bill voted against it. Now, Obama is putting together a bipartisan commission and the republicans are still complaining it's not good enough. Obama is telling them to come to the table and present their ideas. They are saying no. And then accusing him of not listening. The problem seems to be that the republicans expect Obama to follow their platform (tax breaks for big busines ...

No apoligies made for the length. National security is not amenable to sound bite format. The Op-Ed sources: William P. Barr was the United States attorney general from 1991 to 1993. James S. Gorelick was deputy attorney general from 1994 to 1997. Kenneth L. Wainstein was assistant attorney general for national security from 2006 to 2008. Why investigation was warranted (direct quotes from the linked article; emphasis mine) The leak — which resulted ...

I think we can all agree we have been duped by all our politicians at every level. I'm willing to bet most everyone knows someone who works construction who has been out of work at some poiint while foreign auto companies are bringing in construction workers from other countries to build auto plants. This is a disgrace to say the least! This has been going on for decades so includes both sides of the aisle and probaby in between. These factories are creating jobs for aut ...

plus there Are Photos Of Pelosi At Dinner With Ambassador. We are beginning to get the facts behind the Sessions/Russia Ambassador meetings. But MOST OF ALL, we are beginning to understand there is no longer a distinction between those opposing Trump and the worst of those in the PROGRESSIVE movement. They are one in the same, and in understanding this will help us to win this war. These progressives will lie and do anything it takes to get to Trump, and they are working for Obama. Don’t fo ...

NSA PRISM Program: Obama Spying Scandal Elicits Bipartisan Voices, Pro and Con If you’re not living under a technology rock, chances are the government is monitoring you.

According to a report from the Agence France Press agency this week President Obama did not win the confidence of a majority of the five member panel before being awarded the Nobel Committee's Peace Prize late last week. Even though the committee's secretary told the press on Friday that the committee's decision had been unanimous, it appears that the members of the committee have a different recollection of how the decision unfolded. The representatives of the Norwegian Conser ...

For Immediate Release September 12, 2012 Statement of Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith Full Committee Hearing on The Obama Administration’s Abuse of Power Chairman Smith: This Committee has held hearings on many of the ways in which the Obama Administration has abused its power, ignored its duties, evaded responsibility and overstepped the Constitution’s limits on the President.

Committee was not informed of the FBI investigation. What the heck is going on with the government? None of the various departments seem to work together anymore. They keep all info to their own department. No cooperation with each other. Why do they even have an Intelligence Committee if they aren't kept informed of situations? Why did this Kelley woman get an almost instant FBI investigation? Because SHE's got an in with the FBI. Me thinks Kelley woman may have a grudge ag ...

with one "present" vote, authorizing limited miltary action. It authorizes up to 90 days of military action and bars troop deployment.

Imagine if your committee was going to pass a bill designed to facilitate the deportation of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of unauthorized immigrants. How would you promote it? A town hall? A sober op-ed? A memorial for the two law enforcement officers the bill is named after, who were both killed by unauthorized immigrants (AKA, ILLEGAL ALIENS)? The House Judiciary Committee marked up and passed the "Michael Davis, Jr., and Danny Oliver in Honor of State and Local Law Enforcement Act ...

A Washington-based think tank focused on national security has released a dossier on Muslim U.S. Rep. Andre Carson, D-Ind., charging his association with radical Islamic groups warrants his removal from the House Intelligence Committee. The Center for Security Policy, in its report, called for a “rigorous assessment of the potential risks associated with Rep. Carson’s vulnerabilities to recruitment, blackmail or suborning.” CSP President Frank Gaffney served as deputy a ...

Benghazi, screws to turn for Obama 2012-10-10 11:09 Simon Williamson New York - I mentioned before that President Barack Obama could face huge flak for his administration's response to the attack on a US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which killed the US Ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and three others. A quick reminder: Susan Rice, the USA's ambassador to the United Nations said numerous times on television that the attack was a spill over from a protest against ...

He is also scheduled to speak next month at the GOP's First in the Nation Republican Leadership Su ...

room. Talk about hypocricy. Who said you had to pass Obamacare to find out what’s in it... Oh yeah, that was Pelosi, senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said that the closed-door Republican meetings on healthcare amounted to "the most glaring departure from normal legislative procedure that I have ever seen." I guess he's depending on the MSM to hide the fact that this is what THEY did to Republicans. Schumer is a liar and he knows it. Conservatives, get the message out ...

Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner's purge of some dissident Republican congressmen from key committees may continue as he seeks to tighten control over his unruly caucus ahead of difficult votes on "fiscal cliff" issues. House Republican lawmakers said on Wednesday that in addition to the four conservatives who were stripped of their committee assignments earlier this week, other unnamed lawmakers were warned that their votes need to be more in line with par ...
