It's a darn shame the Congress has to spend taxpayer dollars doing the FBI's job properly because the FBI has turned against the United States.

Now that Republicans control the House, what can they do to regain Americans’ trust in government? What can they do for America? The questions are related.
We already know what the Republican House plans to do. It is going to investigate. It is going to investigate the withdrawal from Afghanistan, the administration’s handling of the border crisis, and the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic. It may investigate the business dealings of the Biden family. It may even investigate the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Some of these investigations may do the country some good, and the House has a constitutional duty to hold government accountable. But they are unlikely to receive much attention from the news media and they are unlikely to change public opinion. Take the House Jan. 6 committee, whose hearings were professionally produced, televised and covered by the media. In the end, the proceedings didn’t measurably change public opinion about the so-called insurrection. The public tuned them out because there was no debate and no cross-examination, and the outcome was never in question. No drama, no audience.
So what else could the new House do with its powers? With the Senate and White House in Democratic hands, it is unlikely that it can pass any new legislation that reflects its own priorities. But it can do something to change public opinion about the direction of the country, which almost two-thirds of Americans think is on the wrong track.

and 99% of the population will never know. media will hide it all.
They must not like you, I got in just fine.
Since we are our second civil war, act like it.
Use the budget powers. Don’t fund anything you don’t like.
regardless of what the media says, shut down the parts you don’t like, don’t fund them and don’t budge. In reality is is mostly Democrats that need the government crap that exists but was never mentioned in the Constitution.
No CRs either. Shut it down. We are going broke anyway, why help them do that to you? Eff them!
You be surprised how little us productive people need of many of the Federal government’s elective functions.
Stop ALL government “grants” and grant programs, even the ones we like.
Well, the debt ceiling vote is coming up. MAGA bloc should say no. Kevin McCarthy will have to deal with the Democrats. If he surrenders, he should be voted out as Speaker. He has leverage. He should demand the passage of a sequester bill before they agree to raise the debt ceiling.

Which is exactly the problem. If the last two elections had gone against the dems by two-thirds, they would not have been within cheating range to win. But they did. Even if two-thirds think that, they didn't vote accordingly.
You work for WSJ selling subscriptions?
