Republicans are currently making noises about investigating the Democrats’ illegal and unprincipled acts. There are many targets, and it’s to be hoped that Republicans make good on their promises to expose Democrat wrongdoing.
On January 3, when the 118th Congress convenes, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky) will take the House Oversight and Reform Committee chair. To that end, The Wall Street Journal published Comer’s promise to investigate the past two years of Democrat scandals resulting from “unchecked one-party rule.” In plain English, congressional Democrats placed partisan aggrandizement above the national interest.
Rep. Comer’s op-ed piece was titled “Get Ready for Republican Oversight.” The Democrats, who are expected to remain focused on their partisan goals rather than America’s common good, will undoubtedly try to bedevil, flummox, and stymie Republicans as they use the hearings to give the American people “some of the answers, transparency and accountability they deserve—as well as real solutions” on matters of mishandled public policy by the Biden Administration. Objective observers will have great difficulty challenging Comer’s observation:
On every front President Biden’s policies have been a disaster. Americans are facing historic inflation, skyrocketing energy costs, the worst border crisis in U.S. history, and surging fentanyl overdoses.
(I would add “food” to the area of skyrocketing costs.)
Comer promises that, beginning in January, “Republicans will return the committee to its proper role: rooting out waste, fraud, abuse and mismanagement in the federal government.”

It’s not just traditional issues that need effective oversight. Holman W. Jenkins, Jr. and Julie Kelly call attention to a vital need to hold the media and political establishment to account for improper interference with the 2020 presidential elections.

I have predicted for the last 6 months that Biden will get more of his agenda through in 2023 than he did the first two years of his presidency. Now that the Republicans in charge Manchin and Sinema can’t hamper his progress.
Your Joking.....
Right?
The House Republicans will be the perfect foil for Team Biden to blame when the long anticipated recession comes to roost. I can hear it now: “obstructionist MAGA Republicans are to blame!”
Posturing is what people, politicians and political parties do when they’re stupid. Changes are good the fractured republicans will once again earn their long-standing title.

Just like they stopped Twitter and Facebook, and saw Joe was investigated for his $1 Billion dollar bribe?
Has anyone in the entire FBi and DoJ apparatus been held responsible?
.
They’re really 😡 mad now. Really, really 😠 😡 mad
A Strongly written Letter
Is what will be accomplished.

Republicans are always searching for new ways to be useless……
“In 2023, Republicans had better do more than just posture now that they have control of the House”
If McCarthy is Speaker? Pleeaassee.
.
Even Sean Hannity doesn’t believe this, but he might hype it for ratings though.
How has the party changed - it’s all the same people that couldn’t muster a bad word about old Joe while they were passing his agenda.
If the National Debt goes up under the GOP controlling the House then I think its best to sell out of the USA and wait for the implosion to happen before getting back in.
The tenacity of our benevolent communist rulers in imposing more & more tyranny is unmatched by those seeking (supposedly) to protect our Constitutional freedoms & liberties...
Blah... Blah... Blah...
We all know that a GOP House majority usually merely slows the communists down a little so that the communists only get 60% of what they want...
The GOP will, as usual, celebrate a "majority" with a massive circle jerk and an infinite number of promises of what they will do as soon as they have the WH too...
Just remember all the brilliant GOP accomplishments when Trump was President...
They spent most of their time blocking Trump at every opportunity...
For the first time this century, patriots need to hold GOP feet and balls to the fire and demand the return of at least a few of the freedoms & liberties the communists have taken away...
Never mind spinning your wheels with the BS of "impeachment" or Hunter Biden!
Accomplish something meaningful, or else!
Give them 6 months and then, if necessary, clean up their failure with prejudice and rope...
Dream on. When they’re not busy grabbing their ankles, the republican’ts will be busy “reaching across the aisle” to give the leftists whatever they want.
How well I remember when the Republicans had the last House majority. All they did was argue and NOTHING GOT DONE! McCarthys buddy Paul Ryan was Speaker. Lets not repeat the failures of the last House Republican Majority.
Simply Boehner 2.0-sans tan, lit Marlboro, alcohol induced weeping, and never empty tumbler of Jameson
