Clip of the day: McCarthy Rejects Schiff and Swalwell
Kevin McCarthy rejected the nominations of Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff to the highly coveted House Intelligence Committee over ethics concerns. Swalwell had relations with a Chinese spy while Schiff "lied to the American public again and again." McCarthy’s explanation is fantastic and worth 3:24 of your time:
Additionally, McCarthy plans to hold a vote to oust Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs panel. The vote is setting up to be one of the first legitimate tests of McCarthy’s power as reports are emerging he may not have the votes to oust Omar.
Hunter Biden: Republicans helming the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability are pressing for additional details on Hunter Biden’s art sales as the aforementioned investigation is heating up. In a letter to Hunter Biden’s art dealer, the committee chair stated: “Despite being a novice artist, Hunter Biden received exorbitant amounts of money selling his artwork, the buyers’ identities remain unknown, and you appear to be the sole record-keeper of these lucrative transactions.”
Parenting in 2024
Mental health tops the list of concerns that parents have for children under the age of 18 according to new research from Pew. For perspective, the number of parents severely worried about mental health is nearly twice the number of parents severely worried about their children using drugs, alcohol, or getting pregnant.
Notable: Parents today prioritize their children’s future earning potential over family.

Yea, that was a good answer until he said “integrity matters to me.” LOL.
The fact that Nancy and the Dems left Schiff and Swalwell and Omar on those committees is a clear testament to the level of low performance requirements, low ethics and low qualifications... just making sure they carry the political party line. The actions of Dems make Santos look like an angel.
