MUST-SEE: AOC Has a Mental Breakdown After Bobulinski Runs Circles Around Her
Democrats never want to live by their own rules, and that's why it's so important to make them do so when given the opportunity.
Bobulinski Wednesday: Roundup of Former Hunter Biden Biz Partner Torching Dems at Oversight Hearing
It was popcorn time on Capitol Hill Wednesday as Hunter Biden’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski testified in front of the House Oversight Committee—and came loaded for bear.
As far as I'm concerned, giving people false hope is one of the least compassionate, most exploitative things someone can do, and that is exactly what Ayanna Pressley and her radical open borders ilk are doing every time they open their mouths on this topic.
WHAT'S ON TAP?
Today on Capitol Hill...
It's not likely that Thursday will be quite as eventful as Bobulinski Wednesday was on Capitol Hill, but there are still multiple hearings set. Here's a sampling:
- Senate Armed Services — Hearings to examine the posture of United States Indo-Pacific Command
- House Science, Space, and Technology — Advancing Scientific Discovery: Assessing the Status of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate
- House Financial Services — Importing Global Governance: Examining the Dangers of Ceding Authority Over American Financial Regulation
- House Oversight and Accountability — White House Overreach on AI
- House Armed Services — US Military Posture and National Security Challenges in the Greater Middle East and Africa
- Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation — Hearings to examine spectrum and national security
- House Committee on House Administration — Safety on Capitol Hill: DC Crime's Impact on Congressional Operations and Visitors
- House Foreign Affairs — Commerce as Statecraft: Better Leveraging U.S. Business to Advance our Economic and National Security Goals in the Indo-Pacific
- House Foreign Affairs — Assessing State Department Compliance with Oversight
White House What's Up
President Joe Biden leaves Dallas and heads to Houston for another campaign event, then back to D.C.
Full Court Press...
No oral arguments before the Supreme Court on Thursday. We're still awaiting rulings from the Fifth Circuit re: the SB4 stay and the New York Appellate Court regarding former President Donald Trump's request to forego the full $454 million appeal bond in the civil fraud case, but no telling when those rulings will come.
MORNING MUSING
Happy 18th Birthday to X (f/k/a Twitter)! That's right, the revolutionary social media behemoth was founded on March 21, 2006. There's no way to quantify the impact it's had on our world, but I know it played a not-insignificant role in how I wound up here, writing this missive. So that's fun.
LIGHTER FARE
