What are the odds that Newsom replaces Feinstein with Kamala Harris? And then replaces Biden on the 2024 ticket?
The odds are very good.

JUST IN: Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett ignores how the Biden family made millions by selling their name overseas and says the only crime Biden is guilty of is “loving his child unconditionally.”
We elect some of the dumbest people to Congress.
What Crockett didn’t mention was how Joe Biden’s own son admitted that he was forced to pay his father.
“I will tell you what the president has been guilty of. He has unfortunately been guilty of loving his child unconditionally, and that is the only evidence that they have brought forward.”
“And honestly, I hope and pray that my parents love me half as much as he loves his child until they find some evidence we need to get back to the people’s work, which means keeping this government open so that people don’t go hungry in the streets of the United States.”

Biden is guilty of loving his daughter, when he was taking showers with her.

BREAKING: Pro-China business group Club for Growth has written an internal memo to donors that even after spending millions, none of their 40 anti-Trump TV ads have been successful and in some cases backfired and the backlash actually increased Trump’s support
Music to my ears, wonderful!
Farcical - over 700 new pieces of evidence from IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler were dropped by House Ways & Means on the eve of this hearing. Example below. Oversight Chairman Comer issued subpoenas for Hunter and James Biden’s business records that day. This first hearing was to set the stage with experts explaining why Biden’s involvement in his son and brother’s influence peddling scheme was wrong. It shouldn’t really need to be spelled out.
Tom Bevan @TomBevanRCP
The media's willingness to dismiss the growing mountain of circumstantial evidence of Biden's corrupt dealings is unreal. After they went into a frenzy over any rumor regarding the Russia hoax, they refuse to accept anything less than gold bars in Biden's pockets as proof he did something wrong

British spy, Major John Andre, is sentenced to death
On this day in history, September 29, 1780, British spy Major John Andre is sentenced to death by hanging for his role in the Benedict Arnold treason affair. John Andre was born into a wealthy Swiss family in London in 1750. He joined the military at age 20 and was sent to Canada in 1774, where he was captured by General Richard Montgomery at Fort St. Jean, but later released in a prisoner exchange.
Andre was not only a soldier. He was also an extremely talented artist, poet, singer, and songwriter. For this reason, he was promoted quickly through the ranks after his release and became a chief staff member of General William Howe and General Henry Clinton after him. Because of his talents and charm, Andre became a favorite of the elite in New York and Philadelphia society circles.
In 1779, Andre became the Adjutant-General of the British army. This was one of the senior-most administrative positions, overseeing personnel issues and policies. In this role, Andre was given charge of the army’s intelligence program, and this was how he became involved in the Benedict Arnold affair.
Arnold had grown disenchanted with Congress and his superiors and colleagues in the Continental Army and began negotiating with the British for favors, in exchange for information on American positions and plans. By 1780, a plan was hatched for Arnold to turn over the American fort at West Point, New York, a crucial spot controlling the Hudson River, to the British, in exchange for 20,000 pounds and a generalship in the British army.
Andre directed the intelligence effort with Arnold and met him clandestinely on the evening of September 23 near West Point. Arnold turned over papers detailing the defenses of West Point to Andre who hid them in his shoe and returned to New York. He was captured two days later by 3 inquisitive patriots who found the papers and turned him over to the Continental Army. Arnold escaped safely to the British army.
Andre’s case was unique because he held the title of general, but the rank of major. Generals were typically to be held and exchanged, but Congress had ruled clearly that anyone involved in spying was to be hanged. George Washington offered to British General Clinton to exchange Andre for Arnold, hoping to hang Arnold for his treason instead. Clinton, however, failed to respond and allowed one of his best and brightest to go to the gallows.
On September 29, a court was convened to decide Andre’s fate. General Nathanael Greene presided over the court, which also consisted of Generals Stirling, St. Clair, Lafayette, Howe, Steuben, Parsons, Clinton, Knox, Stark and others. The court ruled on the same day that Andre was guilty of spying for being behind enemy lines and wearing a disguise based on his own testimony.
Andre wrote a letter to George Washington requesting to be executed by firing squad, as this was more “gentlemanly,” but Washington refused the request. On the morning of his execution on October 2nd, Andre was said to be calm and resigned to his fate. He marched toward the gallows, acknowledging those whom he knew in the large crowd that had gathered.
After his death Andre was buried at the foot of the gallows. In 1821, Andre’s body was removed to England and buried in Westminster Abbey as a hero, alongside other famous British citizens such as Geoffrey Chaucer, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, William Wilberforce, Charles Dickens and numerous kings and queens.
