MTG Calls for Impeachment of ANOTHER Biden Regime Official; Wray This Time

(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) In what served as a dual indictment of the reported widespread corruption within the Biden regime and evidence of the GOP’s ability to raise alarms and demand accountability absent producing tangible results, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., called for the impeachment of yet another Biden regime official.

This time it was FBI Director Christopher Wray.

“Under his watch, the FBI has intimidated, harassed, & entrapped Americans who have been deemed enemies of the Biden regime,” Greene tweeted Tuesday in announcing the impeachment filing. “Wray has turned the FBI into Joe Biden and Merrick Garland’s personal police force. Christopher Wray needs to be impeached.”

Greene spelled out a litany of accusations against Wray, from targeting pro-life parents and Traditional Latin Mass Catholics, to entrapping innocent victims who allegedly attempted to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

“Not only has Director Wray persecuted political opponents in an unprecedented and partisan way, but he has also overseen his agency take actions to shield and protect the current President and his family,” the impeachment filing read.

“It is unacceptable for the Director of the FBI or any civil officer to exercise his power in a way that targets one political class while doing favors for the other.”

Before introducing articles of impeachment Tuesday against Wray, Greene also submitted the same against lead J6 prosecutor DC U.S. District Attorney Matthew Graves, touting her exploits during an interview with Steve Bannon and declaring, “I’d like to let everyone know, welcome to impeachment week.”

Republicans have previously demanded either impeachment proceedings or resignations for a herd of Biden officials, including Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkis, Attorney General Merrick Garland, State Department chief Antony Blinken and COVID Czar Anthony Fauci.

The results have been bold headlines and dramatic proclamations, but little else, despite holding a House majority. Compare that to Democrats who persecuted former President Donald Trump, lacking any substantive evidence, by manufacturing their own narrative, co-opting a few quisling RINOs and ramming through two impeachments with the assistance of a complicit fake news media.

Democrats have since used similar tactics to consolidate power and further erode the justice system.

While Greene claimed widespread support for her impeachment efforts, a number of conservatives took to Twitter frustrated by a lack of accountability and with patience wearing thin for results.

“Please MTG, please do something,” implored one backer. “Can’t stand this anymore, nothing ever happens. Get McCarthy to do his job. These people are or have committed treason and are getting aways scott free. They’re laughing at us.”

Concerns have already spawned that regime officials spanning multiple Democrat camps will not only once again skate, despite the release of a damning report from Special Counsel John Durham, but also that they’re gearing up to re-offend.

More Dems Denigrate Migrants as Domestic Chattel for Cheap Labor

More Dems Denigrate Migrants as Domestic Chattel for Cheap Labor

(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) As the swarm of illegal immigrants storming across the U.S. southern border continues to explode under President Joe Biden’s disastrous repeal of Title 42, a growing number of Democrats are coming under blistering criticism for supporting so-called immigration reform to provide a source of cheap domestic labor.

Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., was the latest offender, and he exacerbated his rhetoric by trying to blame Republicans for fostering the border surge and comparing it to slavery.

“Those folks who are coming across [the border] are the ones who are helping to put food on our table. Without them, we are not able to eat,” Johnson said during a House committee hearing. “We would have no food on our plates. We would have nobody taking care of the building, the construction of our homes. We would have nobody cleaning up in the hospitals.”

Despite hankering for cheap labor stemming from illegal immigration, Johnson blamed the GOP for the border crisis.

“Republicans like to see them lined up at the border because they know that’s a stream of labor ready to be exploited with cheap, if any, compensation,” he gaslighted.

“I mean if you could get back to slavery, you would gladly do so. But if you could pay people $1 an hour, you’d settle for that,” claimed the far-leftist lawmaker who once infamously fretted that the island of Guam was ready to capsize.

Johnson was roasted for his similarly ludicrous claim that Republicans, who this month passed sweeping legislation cracking down on illegal immigration, were overjoyed with the chaos erupting not only at the southern border, but in states and cities around the country.

“My Republican friends talk about how they don’t like that, how it’s a crisis, but yet they savor it,” Johnson claimed of the border crisis that Republicans have been feverishly working to remedy despite consistent obstacles from Democrats.

“The guy just said we need immigrants in low wage jobs but then accuses republicans of wanting slavery,” quipped one commentator.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., meanwhile, is pushing Biden to ease restrictions to allow leftist business owners to hire illegals who make their way across the border.

“Many asylum seekers want to work,” a group of 13 Democrat lawmakers wrote in a letter to the White House concerning illegals who have set up camp in U.S. cities. The group wants Biden to facilitate a loophole to avoid rules that prevent illegals from getting work permits until they have been in the United States for around six months.

“We ask that your administration support the many states, cities and communities enthusiastically welcoming asylum seekers across this country.”

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., put it in simpler terms and spoke the quite part out loud during a recent House Judiciary Committee hearing, when she declared that immigrants are needed to “pick the food we eat” and “clean our homes.”

Biden’s open border policies must be embraced because “This country needs immigrants to survive,” Jayapal said. “Immigrants pick the food we eat, rebuild our communities after climate disasters, help construct our infrastructure, power our small business economy, clean our homes, and look after the most precious in our families — our children and our elders.”

Biden Mouthpiece Pressed on Durham Report, Abruptly Ends Press Briefing

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Before fleeing a Tuesday press briefing, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly refused to comment on the long-awaited report released by Special Counsel John Durham, who found that the DOJ and FBI should not have investigated the ludicrous allegations of Russian collusion. 

“What’s the White House reaction to Special Counsel John Durham’s report on how the FBI handled the Trump-Russia probe?” Philip Wegmann, a reporter with RealClear Politics, asked the White House talker.

Jean-Pierre, who came under fire for previously touting the baseless lies that the Trump 2016 campaign colluded with Russian, refused to answer regarding the Biden administration’s reaction to the findings. 

“I would leave it to the Department of Justice to speak to,” Jean-Pierre claimed. 

In a follow-up question, Wegmann pressed on the White House’s assessment of DOJ’s independence and how the Durham report questioned the handling of then-candidate Trump in the 2016 presidential election. 

“[Biden] talks often about how he wants DOJ and FBI to remain independent and above the fray. That report seems to reflect the opposite,” the reporter told Jean-Pierre. “Does he agree with Special Counsel Durham that there needs to be wholesale changes at the FBI?” Wegman asked. 

Jean-Pierre doubled down on her refusal to comment, passing all questions to the DOJ. 

“Again, that is with the Department of Justice,” she said.

“That’s not something I’m going to speak to from the podium. As you just stated in your question, we believe in [an] independent Department of Justice, that’s what the president said when he was running and that’s what the president has said the last two years,” Jean-Pierre added, before storming out from the White House press briefing. 

Several conservative personalities called out the White House for refusing to address the bombshell report. 

“Karine Jean-Pierre literally runs away when asked about Durham report…,” conservative commentator Tim Young blasted on Twitter. 

In reaction to Jean-Pierre’s abrupt exit from the podium, one Twitter user said, “Run Forest, RUN!!!” 

The White House press secretary claimed several times, without evidence, that Trump was somehow tied to Russia. 

In a 2018 embarrassing interview on MSNBC’s Hardball, host Chris Matthews pressed Jean-Pierre on why she believed Trump had colluded with Russia. “I want an answer. Do you think he’s guilty,” Matthews asked. 

“I think he’s crazy,” she said, later adding, “I think he’s guilty.”  

The tense exchange ended with Jean-Pierre saying, “There is something that’s going to come out about Russia. Remember, there’s money laundering,”

‘Incapable’: Fetterman’s Latest Word Salad Leaves Many Worried

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Sen. John Fetterman, the embattled Pennsylvania Democrat, raised concerns after struggling to articulate his thoughts coherently during a Tuesday Senate Banking Committee hearing on the collapse of Valley Bank. 

 Fetterman stumbled over his own words, erroneously claiming that the witnesses’ partners “went to Hawaiss (sic) after there was a crash for your bank.” According to the transcript compiled by Fox News Digital, he expressed disbelief, stating, “So, I went up on the Internet, and it’s like, it did happen. It did happen. It did happen,” he sputtered while referencing a New York Post article titled “Ex-Silicon Valley Bank CEO Greg Becker jets to Hawaii after collapse.” 

The Post‘s article reported that Becker had retreated to his $3.1 million Maui estate shortly after resigning as CEO of SVB. The departure came amid the second-largest bank collapse in history. 

Fetterman, however, struggled to accurately describe the details from the Post article, raising concerns about the health of the already-fragile lawmaker. 

After posing incoherent questions to the witness, Fetterman made a claim that the U.S. government bailed “him” out in reference to the bank, alluding to an alleged “running joke” within the banking community. When the witness denied knowledge of the joke, Fetterman responded, “Really? Because every bank you seemingly that crashed, it’s like, ‘We can bail him out. This one crashed, we’ll bail them out.'” 

While Fetterman grappled with his speech, he continued, “So far, everything’s been true. So, doesn’t it feel that now if a bank really believed that they wouldn’t be bailed out, now after bailing them out, these couple of bailouts, they are going to.” 

Fetterman’s struggle to speak clearly has led many on Twitter to question the senator’s health. OutKick founder Clay Travis tweeted, “John Fetterman is incapable of speech or coherent thought. Good job, Pennsylvania.” 

Podcast host Stephen L. Miller criticized Washington Post reporter Jeff Stein for fixing Fetterman’s transcribed mumbling in a tweet, stating, “This isn’t Senator Fetterman’s actual quote. This isn’t journalism,” in response to Stein’s alterations. 

Commentator Tim Young sarcastically cracked on Fetterman’s speech in a tweet, saying, “John Fetterman sounds perfectly healthy, you guys…” 

Fetterman has struggled to communicate effectively on several occasions since suffering a stroke while on the campaign trail in 2022. Last month, he made headlines after experiencing difficulties while reading his opening statement during a hearing for the Senate Agriculture Committee’s Subcommittee on Food. Fetterman was recently released from a hospital stint for alleged clinical depression.

Union Boss Randi Weingarten Stands to Collect $200K NYC Teacher’s Pension Check

(Headline USA) Teachers’ union boss Randi Weingarten is poised to collect a taxpayer-funded New York City pension despite not having taught in a classroom for years, according to the Freedom Foundation.

As head of the American Federation of Teachers, Weigarten is reportedly eligible for a $15,000 annual check when she retires. The Teachers’ Retirement System of the City of New York currently credits Weingarten with 15 years of service as a teacher, even though she only worked in a classroom for four of those years. As a result, Weingarten stands to rake in more than $200,000 when she retires.

Maxford Nelsen, the Freedom Foundation’s director of labor policy, said this pension is the direct result of Weingarten’s negotiations with city officials.

“Weingarten has been able to accrue hundreds of thousands of dollars in pension benefits while spending very little time teaching in the classroom,” he said. “It’s a result of a policy decision made by city officials with the union.

Weingarten was a social studies teacher at Clara Barton High School in Crown Heights between 1994 and 1997, and before that served as a substitute teacher for three years.

Asked about her city pension, Weingarten claimed the Freedom Foundation’s estimate was “completely wrong.” However, she could not say how much money she would be eligible for after retiring.

“I would have to check with UFT and TRS [Teachers Retirement System] on the other or find a quarterly statement, none of which I have right now,” she said.

Weingarten makes at least $543,562 per year as head of American Federation of Teachers, with $57,000 set aside for “retirement and other deferred compensation.”

Weingarten has come under fire over the past several years for her role in pandemic school closures. She has also actively campaigned against parental rights legislation, claiming efforts to give parents more of a say over classroom material is “the way in which wars start.”

House GOP Launches Probe into Nonprofits Profiting from Border Crisis

House GOP Launches Probe into Nonprofits Profiting from Border Crisis

(Headline USA) House Republicans announced this week that they are launching an investigation into several of the non-profit organizations fueling the border crisis.

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas asking Mayorkas to provide information, communications, and documents related to the agency’s funding awards to NGOs at the southern border.

Jordan pointed to the DHS’s funding increases for NGOs, including an allocation of $332 million via the Emergency Food and Shelter Program to “assist communities receiving noncitizens released from custody as they await the outcome of their immigration proceedings.”

There has been little to no oversight of these funds, Jordan argued.

“Amid this crisis, there is also an increased risk of fraud, misuse, and abuse of funds because, due to current policies, FEMA is unable to ensure that humanitarian relief funds are not being wasted,” the Republicans wrote.

Jordan argued that NGOs are likely taking advantage of the administration’s loose funding guidelines to make a financial profit off of the border crisis.

“While Americans suffer the consequences of chaos at the southwest border caused by the Biden Administration, NGOs receive hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars through federal grants to provide free food, lodging, and transportation for illegal aliens to be released anywhere they want in the United States,” the letter said.

Republicans cited a recent inspector general report that found more than $110 million in federal funds had been fraudulently spent by immigration nonprofits.

“NGOs simply tell DHS how many illegal aliens they encounter, and funding can be awarded without any documentation or receipts,” Jordan wrote. “Federal funding for migration-related NGOs at the border has increased dramatically at a time when federal resources for border security and immigration enforcement and local resources for emergency response and medical care have been strained to the breaking point.”

High School Disciplined Special Needs Student for Using ‘Wrong’ Pronouns

High School Disciplined Special Needs Student for Using ‘Wrong’ Pronouns

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Marina Vivar, a mother of a special needs freshman student at Glendale High School in California, raised her concerns when she found out that her daughter was groomed regarding LGBT sexual acts and forced her to go along with her aide’s “pronouns.”

“We’re not paying teachers… to push their agendas on children,” Vivar told the city council, referring to the incident when her daughter came home from school and explained to her mother what the lesbian sex act of “scissoring” is.

According to the exclusive report from the Post Millennial, when the mother reached out to the school to gain access to the permission slip she previously sent to opt out her daughter of these grooming sessions, she was told that the form “was never given to the office” and that the “forms online were never filled out.”

Additionally, Dr. Chris Coulter, Director of Teaching and Learning in the Glendale Unified School District, stated that Vivar, or any other parent, would not even be able to excuse one’s child from the LGBT indoctrination lessons.

However, this wasn’t the only time when Vivar’s daughter was forced to accept the sexually deviant ideology.

Since Vivar’s daughter has autism, the school district provides different learning resources for the daughter, including a personal aide to help her in class. This year, her aide decided to “identify” herself as a man and, since the daughter didn’t want to go along with the leftist narrative, she was constantly forced to “respect” the delusion.

“… she understands the basics of human biology. But they were trying to convince her to get it right,” Vivar said.

“They put her in the office several times to tell her ‘this is a man.’ ‘This is a man, this is a man’ over and over. I found out maybe about two weeks into this that this was going on.”

“She was at the point where she was in class self-harming. She would get a pen or a pencil and… dig the point of the pen or pencil into her leg,” she added.

The indoctrinators in school — the school principal Dr. Benjamin Wolf and a Public Information Officer, Kristine Nam — decided to gaslight the mother by pretending that grooming doesn’t happen in school, according to the Post Millennial.

Both statements blatantly contradicted the daughter’s comments regarding “scissoring” and Kelly King, assistant superintendent with the Glendale School District, openly talking about “transgender” staff members and how the “community” supported their so-called “transitioning.”

Disgraced FBI Agent Peter Strzok Dismisses Damning Durham Report: ‘Never Should Have’ Been Made

(Headline USA) Disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok complained this week that special counsel John Durham’s explosive and damning report “never should have” been made.

Strzok, who was fired from the FBI after his role in the Russiagate hoax became public knowledge, said Durham’s scathing report exhibited a “bias” against the agency and its employees.

“Look, this is a predictable sad ending to an investigation that never should have taken place,” Strzok told MSNBC’s Joy Reid on Monday. “Shortly after [Durham] was announced in 2019, he went on the record as a prosecutor making a rare public statement that he disagreed with IG Horowitz’s conclusion that the investigation was appropriately launched and then he spent the next three to four years with a cognitive bias trying to build a case that somehow it was. We saw the results today, and the results are clearly that he didn’t come up with anything.”

Durham, who had been investigating the origins of Crossfire Hurricane, released his long-awaited report this week. In the 306-page report, Durham concluded that the FBI never had sufficient evidence to launch its investigation into former President Donald Trump’s campaign, but that the pressure to investigate Trump came from top FBI leadership. 

Durham also alleged that Hillary Clinton played a significant role in pushing the collusion claims to the FBI and media.

“The speed and manner in which the FBI opened and investigated Crossfire Hurricane during the presidential election season based on raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence also reflected a noticeable departure from how it approached prior matters involving possible attempted foreign election interference plans aimed at the Clinton campaign,” Durham wrote.

Despite Durham’s findings, Strzok insisted this week that the Russian collusion hoax was not the result of “bias” within the FBI.

N.C. GOP Saves Lives w/ Veto Override, Abortion Limits Become Law

N.C. GOP Saves Lives w/ Veto Override, Abortion Limits Become Law

(Headline USA) Legislation banning most abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy will become law in North Carolina after the state’s Republican-controlled General Assembly successfully overrode the Democrat governor’s veto late Tuesday.

The House completed the second and final part of the override vote after a similar three-fifths majority — the fraction necessary — voted for the override earlier Tuesday in the Senate. The party-line outcomes represent a major victory for Republican legislative leaders who needed every GOP member on board to enact the law over Gov. Roy Cooper’s opposition.

Cooper vetoed the measure over the weekend after spending last week traveling around the state to persuade at least one Republican to side with him on the override, which would be enough to uphold his veto and continue the wholesale killing of unborn babies. But in the end, the four Republicans targeted by Cooper — including one who recently switched from the Democrat Party — voted to override.

Republicans pitched the measure as a middle-ground change to state law, which currently bans nearly all abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, without exceptions for rape or incest.

The votes came as abortion rights in the U.S. faced another tectonic shift with lawmakers in South Carolina and Nebraska also considering new abortion limits. North Carolina and South Carolina have been two of the few remaining Southern states with relatively easy access.

Such restrictions are possible because the U.S. Supreme Court last year struck down the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, which established a nationwide right to abortion.

Under the bill up for a vote Tuesday in the South Carolina House, abortion access would be almost entirely banned after about six weeks of pregnancy. The South Carolina state Senate previously rejected a proposal to nearly outlaw abortions. Nationally, bans on abortion throughout pregnancy are in effect in 14 states.

Protection for the lives of unborn babies through abortion limits prevails in much of the South, including bans throughout pregnancy in Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia. In Georgia, it’s allowed only in the first six weeks.

The Carolinas, Florida and Virginia are now the main destinations in the region for those seeking legal abortions. Florida has a ban that kicks in 15 weeks into pregnancy. Under a recent law, that would tighten to six weeks pending a court ruling. Further west, women often travel to Illinois, Kansas, New Mexico or Colorado.

If both the North and South Carolina bans become law, combined with Florida’s recent ban, “it would be just devastating for abortion access in the South,” Jamie Lockhart, executive director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia, said earlier Tuesday.

After the final vote Tuesday in the North Carolina House, abortion-rights advocates and Democrats in the chamber gallery loudly booed the outcome and shouted “Shame!” Many observers in the gallery were escorted out by General Assembly police. Many pro-life demonstrators also were in the audience, pleased with the outcome, and weren’t required to be policed for the behavior.

“Today marks the beginning of North Carolina’s first real step towards becoming a pro-life state,” Tami Fitzgerald, executive director of the socially conservative North Carolina Values Coalition, said after the House vote.

Senate Republicans said Cooper ignored $160 million within the measure that would boost funding to increase contraceptive services, reduce infant and maternal mortality and provide paid maternity leave for state employees and teachers.

“This bill provides resources for the pregnant woman. It provides broad resources and a significant knowledge base to enable her, to equip her in finding a path forward — a path forward for her, and a path forward for her unborn child,” said Rep. Kristin Baker, a Cabarrus County Republican and psychiatrist.

The new abortion limits set to take effect July 1 also will include rape or incest exceptions through 20 weeks of pregnancy and exceptions for “life-limiting” fetal anomalies during the first 24 weeks. An existing exception for when the life of the pregnant woman is in danger will remain.

North Carolina Republicans were able to complete the override due in large part to Mecklenburg County Rep. Tricia Cotham’s party switch to the GOP last month. That gave Republicans veto-proof seat majorities in both chambers.

Cotham has supported abortion rights in the past. She said in a statement late Tuesday that the bill “strikes a reasonable balance” that anyone not holding “extremist positions” on abortion can support.

States Called to Amend U.S. Constitution

States Called to Amend U.S. Constitution

(By Lauren Jessop, The Center Square) Calls for term limits and restrained federal spending rarely drift far from public political discourse.

In recent years, however, a growing faction of Americans want to make the longstanding proposals a reality – and they’re no longer relying on Congress alone to make it happen.

Convention of States Action, or COS, recently visited Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to convince lawmakers to support resolutions calling for an Article V Convention to amend the policies into the U.S. Constitution.

The group, formed by two conservative activists 10 years ago, says it amassed 5.5 million supporters across all 50 states. The purpose of their visit, said spokesman Jim O’Connor, was to dispel the “opposition’s tarradiddles” about the constitutionally-protected process.

Historically, every constitutional amendment approved in Congress over the last two centuries came as the result of a joint resolution supported by a two-thirds majority. Article V, however, gives states the power to call a convention. Congress would be required to oblige if two-thirds – or 34 of 50 states – approved resolutions to do so. Proposed amendments must then be ratified by three-fourths – or 38 states.

To date, 19 states have passed resolutions, 15 have active legislation pending, and six have passed in one legislative chamber.

Pennsylvania currently has pending resolutions in both the House and Senate, and O’Connor said more than 95,000 residents have signed the organization’s petition in support of the convention.

Article V stirs controversy both federally and in Pennsylvania. Critics argue the untested method – not invoked once since the creation of the Constitution in 1787 – sets a dangerous precedent that could dissolve the country’s most revered governing doctrine.

But on both ends of the political spectrum, accusations abound that dark money groups wish only to exploit Article V and spread misinformation to further their own radical agendas.

Common Cause, for example, said the Constitution outlines “absolutely no rules” for Article V, leaving the process vulnerable to abuse by wealthy donors and political extremists – likely in support of “the right-wing agenda.” The organization says it has attracted 1.5 million supporters in 30 states.

Common Cause did not respond to The Center Square’s requests for comment.

O’Connor said Article V indeed sets ground rules that will prevent “a runaway convention” from unfolding. He said all 34 states must agree to the scope of the convention, which must be limited to single subjects – anything else “would be gaveled out of order.”

COS and other advocacy groups say the founders adopted Article V to prevent Congress from obstructing constitutional amendments and consolidating power. He also blasted Common Cause as a “leftist organization funded by George Soros” that supports a minority coalition of donors who want to do just that.

Dark money interests worry state lawmakers, too, but for different reasons. In November, state Sen. Gene Yaw, R-Williamsport, said in an op-ed that Soros-backed donors support Article V so they can scrap the Constitution in favor of their own priorities.

He also said that the “majority” of the country’s problems stem from Congress’s failure to enforce constitutional rights, so new amendments are unlikely to suddenly “facilitate compliance.”

Still, other Republican senators – including Cris Dush, Kristin Phillips-Hill and Greg Rothman – believe language in their sponsored Senate Resolution 77 protect against “unauthorized delegate behavior” and “non-germane” proposals.

The bipartisan sponsors of House Resolution 106 – Republican Rep. Dawn Keefer and Democratic Rep. Frank Burns – added that the founders intended for states to invoke Article V as a “constitutional ‘check’ … to exercise control over a runaway federal government.”

O’Connor said that same motivation – to increase civic engagement – drives COS’s movement. Recent polling from the Trafalgar Group shows two-thirds of Americans support amendments that would limit congressional terms, federal spending and the government’s power.
