Before we begin, lemme drop a caveat on what you’re about to read: The Republican Party, when in control of one chamber of Congress or both, has long been “all hat and no cattle,” reminding us regularly that words are cheap; actions matter. That said, it’s time to get after Joe Biden and the Democrats for real. If visions of former House Speakers John Boehner and Paul Ryan, newly sworn-in Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are dancing around in your head as you read these words, you’re far from the Lone Ranger. Anyway, after four days and 15 ballots finally gave the gavel to McCarthy in the wee hours of Saturday morning — all but neutering his power as Speaker — it’s time for the circular firing squad to end and for the promised work to be done. Do I have my doubts? Of course, don’t you? With the above realization surely in mind, Kentucky Rep. James Comer, the incoming House Oversight Committee chair, appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday to discuss the priorities of his committee. The bottom line: “We’re not investigating Hunter Biden; we’re investigating Joe Biden.” I like it — on paper, anyway. Although, if Comer’s committee is to effectively investigate The Big Guy and his involvement in The Biden Family Business, of course it will also have to investigate Biden’s crackhead son Hunter, and the multiplicity of damning allegations against him. First up, pretend journalist Chuck Todd attempted to frame any and all investigations into Biden as “partisan”:
Stop the tape. Remember when Todd asked Mississippi Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson, chair of the now-defunct Jan. 6 Committee how he was going to “de-partisanize” the hyper-partisan Democrat witch hunt against Donald Trump, and Trump loyalists who breached the U.S. Capitol? Me, neither — it didn’t happen. And I mean zero times by the so-called “mainstream” media. Comer, no doubt ready for Todd’s politically predisposed question, fired back:
Comer backed up his assertions by referencing a Harvard poll that found 65 percent of Americans believe the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop should be investigated, before dropping the hammer:
How’d that taste, Chuck? Apparently, not so good, as Todd nearly threw a snit-fit:
Weak response, Chuck. You ignored the facts laid out by Comer and went straight to knee-jerk whataboutism. Comer wasn’t having any of it:
Comer even offered Todd a suggestion on how the Democrats could force Trump to pay more taxes: “If the Democrats want to make people like Donald Trump pay taxes, they need to change the tax code — not the tax rates, the tax code.” He then dropped the hammer on Todd a second time.
James Comer: 1, Partisan hack Chuck Todd: 0. Final score. While Chuck Todd and the rest of the liberal media sock puppets desperately continue to try to separate Joe Biden from Hunter’s nefarious business dealings, make no mistake: The White House and the Democrat Party are beyond concerned with how this thing’s going to play out. As Todd’s own network, NBC News reported in late November, there’s a growing shadow campaign underway to defend Biden from House Republicans and James Comer’s Oversight Committee.
Elrod further said “It’s important that the opposition not get the upper hand in defining a false narrative, and outside groups can help mitigate that from happening,” which begs the question: How does Adrienne Elrod or any other operative working in the above “war rooms” know about such “false narratives” before Comer’s Oversight Committee is even seated? The question is rhetorical, of course, and not dissimilar to this one: How can Joe Biden insist he knows zero about Hunter’s shady business dealings while at the same time declaring that his wayward son has done nothing wrong? The Bottom Line This stuff is just too easy, gang. Meanwhile, how rewarding is it that reality is setting in on the Democrat Party that there’s a new posse in the House and that the tables are about to be turned? But as I said at the top, it’s time past time for the Republicans to step up and realize that words are cheap and actions matter. |
