Is Jim Jordan's "Weaponization of Government" Inquiry a Sham? Is It Just More Failure Theater Designed to Protect the FBI and National Security Agencies?

So Jordan will be issuing a subpoena to the lunatic Stanky Janky. This is supposed to make you say, "Yay, Jim Jordan's really gonna get the bad guys!"

Benny Johnson
@bennyjohnson
BREAKING: @Weaponization Committee Chair @Jim_Jordan subpoenas Nina Jankowicz and compels her to appear for a deposition relating to Joe Biden failed "Disinformation Governance Board."

Before you get excited: Don't. Jim Jordan is carefully stage-managing another production of the GOPe's favorite play, Failure Theater.

Here's the truth: The committee has one of the smallest conceivable budgets and Jordan has only hired five people to interview witnesses and vet documents and prepare subpoenas and... everything.

A pitiful $2 million budget -- and only five staffers to go through any material they do manage to force the Biden Administration to cough up. Or to fact-check the claims of any witnesses.

Jim Jordan brags that he's talking to some whistleblowers -- whistleblowers who do not want to come forward. He threatens that he might just subpoena them and force them to testify, against their will.

Let me suggest that some whistleblowers are balking at appearing, because this appears to be a joke and cover-up to them, and they won't put their careers and family's futures at risk just so Jim Jordan can stage another performance of Failure Theater.

Mike Davis founded the Article 3 Committee and used to work for the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Mike Davis
@mrddmia
This is an important graphic, which helps prove my point:
@Jim_Jordan must take much more seriously the critically important @Weaponization
committee.
We’re 4 months past the midterm elections.
And 2 months past House Republicans getting their gavels.
Outmanned and outgunned.

In the video below, he says this appears like just More Lies from The Regime. As he puts it, this is a hearing which is not intended to actually produce any results -- just to provide a forum for camera-chasing Congressmen to accuse people of corruption without actually digging up the proof of that corruption and inflicting real consequences on these agencies.

As he says, this committee does not exist to actually bring a reckoning to these agencies, but instead to Con the Rubes into thinking that Big Jim Jordan is a Real American Hero who Wants to Get the Bad Guys.

When in fact all he wants to do is stage another meaningless, victoryless hearing and then go on Hannity and fulminate about how outraged he is that the Bad Guys escaped justice yet again. Even though he's deliberately allowing them to escape.

Lee Smith and Davis agree -- all conservatives knew we couldn't get anything done legislatively with Biden occupying the White House, but the one thing we were promised that Republicans could do is gain the power of subpoena and force accountability on the criminal regime which has seized control of our government.

What happens, they both wonder, in 2024, when conservatives realize they've been lied to yet again?

How many times does the GOPe think it can lie to us and then tell us to make sure we all get out to vote because Voting Is Super-Important? Do they not realize that at some point -- and for some of us, that point might have already been reached -- we all collectively decide that voting is not important, that the Uniparty will have its way with us whether its the Red Team nominally in power or the Blue Team, and our only real hope for deliverance is for the whole system to just come crashing down?

And that maybe Voting Blue No Matter What You Do is the fastest way to achieve that?

The specific process isn't really the problem. The feds will fund like crazy with individual budget and appropriations bill per department, and both houses of Congress will still pass them all in the middle of some stray voltage.

Newsom said Monday that California is "done" with Walgreens because of a new abortion pill policy, but his office couldn't say what exactly that means.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom took aim at Walgreens on Monday after the pharmacy store chain announced that it would not be shipping abortion medication to at least 20 states across the U.S.

"California won't be doing business with @walgreens -- or any company that cowers to the extremists and puts women's lives at risk," Newsom tweeted. "We're done."

So, what does that mean? We're not sure. And it seems Newsom's office isn't completely sure either.

102 Congress can do rescissions to already appropriated funds. Of course the Senate would probably not approve, the vegetable in the WH would burble a veto.

But that's not the entire point.

Back when there were actually politics in Congress, a great deal of the time was consumed with setting up people to "walk the plank" on key issues, via their votes. In the Senate when I was there, this was almost the entirety of what went on. It's not entirely useless or stupid, as the votes are often quite substantive, not symbolic, and give voters a chance to choose, by differentiating candidates.

But these days I really doubt voters would be of much use, every link in the system seems broken, from no press to collapsed civic culture to fraudulent elections to vicious and dominant party machines.

In Jordan's case it Might Be incompetence, more proficient at show boat than procedure. But Smith and Davis and others seem to have a team that could help in the fight. THAT still seems to be our best hope ... but citizens need to lean on their "public servant" reps to push the issue.

GOP senators tore into Carlson on Tuesday for remarks he made while airing never-before-seen footage of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

When asked about Carlson's commentary the next morning, Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina didn't parse words: "I think it's bullshit," he told reporters.

Sen. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, another conservative, said he was at the Capitol on Jan. 6 and flat-out accused Carlson of lying in his portrayal of events. Sen. Mike Rounds of South Dakota reportedly echoed Cramer, saying he was present on Jan. 6 and reiterating that the actions of the rioters amounted to an insurrection, not a peaceful protest. He also joined with congressional Democrats in saying that the unseen security footage should be released to all major news outlets.

Unsurprisingly, some of the strongest remarks came from Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, who is well-known for bucking his party on issues involving decorum. He told CNN it was sad to see Carlson going off the rails, and he cast the host's portrayal of events as "dangerous and disgusting," comparing it to Alex Jones' now-infamous portrayal of the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook

217 Haven't seen the Carlson thing from yesterday. It could well be grossly distorted. One of the problems of limited time formats, though, it can be difficult to convey a representative picture of a complicated, multi-faceted event.

Based on video long public (private, not guvamint), it's obvious there were lots of things on J6. There were large numbers of normal people who did nothing unusual or violent. There were s**t-stirrers breaking windows. There were normies stopping some s**t-stirrers from breaking windows. There were provocateurs (clumsy, obvious ones) like Ray whatshisname. There were even global-level s**t-stirrers like the international one photo'd there (he was at Ferguson, in Ukraine 2014, etc). There were kooks and idiots (many of those seen in the Senate chamber) - who nonetheless didn't seem like violent types. There were nice grandmas checking out the Rotunda and Statuary Hall. There was an incompetent Cap Police officer inexcusably shooting/killing a woman who was doing something stupid (but nothing approaching something calling for use of deadly force).

ALL of these things happened. Not a simple story.

-------------

Doesn't matter why they act in their own self-interest. Just stop right there. This is why cops and military "just follow orders". This is why all bureaucrats seek to keep their heads down and maintain the status quo. It feeds their families.

It's the creation of these jobs in the first place that creates an ever-expanding demand for more tax dollars. You don't want to starve little bureaucrat children, do you monster? You don't want to starve the children of jack-booted heroes who keep our streets safe and the world kneeling before us, do you bigot?

This is why the FBI is what it is. It's why there aren't any whistleblowers - or why they're so rare.

This is why we have to be willing to take hard, adult decisions and stop asking government to do all this crap for us - educate our children, give us jobs, protect us, and care for us in our golden years.

Sure they have power.

They don't have to fund anything.

They don't have to pass any bills at all. In fact, the House should pass 0 bills until it works out a spending bill, which would neuter any attempt from the Senate to put a spending bill together.
