I Watched the Unhinged Anti-Smithsonian Congressional Hearing So You Don't Have To

Anthea Hartig keeps her cool on the stand, answering questions about ideological bias.

Yesterday's particularly noxious one, "Rewriting American History: Examining the Smithsonian's Efforts to Reshape the Past" emerged in response to "Saving America's Story," the report released by Trump's White House Policy Council on July 4.

The document features 160 pages of grievances about the "ideological capture" of the Smithsonian Institution, claiming that it promotes a left-wing activist agenda.

Tuesday's hearing summoned Anthea Hartig, director of the National Museum of American History, to Capitol Hill to be grilled about the findings by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform."

To be fair... a Black Woman Democrat would never give LHT the time of day.

Least surprising news today.

Given the chance, DJT would cancel your Social Sec check, raise your taxes, and sic ICE on you based on for whom you voted.

Your healthcare? Fergetaboutit!

This is vintage Trump.... if you don't like the outcome, ignore the rules.

Same with Elections.

So... your lame Whataboutism infers that you supported Bubba in Iraq?

Or is it just a lame Whataboutism...

DOJ backhanded by Judge for millionth time in 2 years.... video at 11.

He doesn't have one... because there isn't one. He's just farting through his teeth yet again.

And the 'supremacy' he believes in is that of the Corrupt Authoritarian States, like the one he's plans to give his DNA to Security when he finally goes back to China... you know, where Authoritarian Worshippers like him belong.

"Rosemary Kelanic, the director of the Middle East programme at the US-based Defense Priorities think tank, said it would be "quite shocking" if the US were to allow Saudi Arabia uranium enrichment facilities.

"The US has never done that before. We have never helped another country enrich on their own soil," she said, adding that this was because "if you can produce your own nuclear fuel, you become a much bigger risk" for building nuclear weapons."

Saudis? Israel? It's like when he can't decide between Ivanka and a lookalike.

If Harris had one, half our Trumpers would have died of apoplexy by now.

The other half would still be saying that Trump won.

"If the President wants to investigate Voter Fraud, he should start with Ken Paxton." - J. Talarico

In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains

Not to mention that once hired, and given short, poor training, they are given Quotas for how many people they have to arrest.

What could possibly go wrong?

Data Centers Are Costing Texans More Than You Think

"Texas should be the world's tech and innovation leader. But this only works if Texans get a say " and a share " in that growth. And that's not what's happening.

There's no transparency. No accountability. No community input. AI must work for us, not against us. If AI companies can't commit to meeting these demands " the demands of the people " they shouldn't be able to build new data centers. "

"We are closing schools and hospitals in this country so that we can bomb schools and hospitals in another country."

"This this morning this morning we learned that one of our own, Private Isabella Gonzalez, was killed by an Iranian air strike in Jordan.

Isabella grew up in Carrollton, not too far from here. She was just 19 years old.

Isabella was sent to serve in a reckless war that no one asked for.

We pay for it with our tax dollars. Isabella paid for it with her life."

5 or 6 percent?

I didn't think it was possible, but you really are as stupid as you look.

"Hearing echoes of US military support for Shah of Iran, Democratic congressman calls for hearings on Saudi nuclear deal

At House foreign affairs committee hearing on Wednesday, congressman Brad Sherman, a Los Angeles Democrat, called for an oversight hearing of the Trump administration's nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia, suggesting that exporting that technology could be as big a mistake as having armed the Shah of Iran in the 1970s.

"There are those who think that the Saudi possession of nuclear technology is totally benign, but I've been involved in this for a long time, and I remember when the most powerful monarch in the Middle East was a good friend of America.

And the Shah got his hands on important US military technology.

Thank God, nothing nuclear," Sherman said while questioning Mike Waltz, the US ambassador to the UN, and former national security adviser to Donald Trump.

"Everything the Shah had in 1978 was in the mullahs' hands in 1979," Sherman said, referring to the Islamic revolution that toppled the Iranian monarch and brought the theocratic regime to power.

"We have no idea who is going to be running Saudi Arabia 10 years from now."

-I knew it.

Talk about a head that's Thick as a Brick... the campaign talking to the PAC about what to do with the money is still illegal, you know, still since the last few times someone has informed you of that fact.
