A Democratic congressman from the South is in hot water after claiming he did not defend migrants getting deported, 'because I'm not a Latino at the Home Depot.' 'First, they came for the Latinos outside of the Home Depots trying to get work so that they could feed their families,' Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said during a congressional hearing on Wednesday. 'I didn't say anything about it, because I'm not a Latino at the Home Depot,' the Democrat continued. The lawmaker appears to have been making his own version of a poem by a Martin Niemöller. The work, titled 'First...

A Democratic House lawmaker, known for his jaw-dropping remarks, repurposed a Holocaust-era poem on Wednesday to argue that the Trump administration is targeting “Latinos outside of the Home Depots.” Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), who once worried Guam could sink from overpopulation, subjected lawmakers to his bizarre variation of German theologian Martin Niemöller’s famous “First They Came For …” poem during a House Judiciary Committee hearing – leaving some people stunned. “You know, first they came for the Latinos outside of the Home Depots, trying to get work so that they could feed their families,” Johnson began. “And I didn’t say...

This is deranged. @RepJasmine and @HankJohnsonGA are suggesting President Trump wants to bring back slavery. This is completely off base, and they should apologize.

The top United Nations court took up the largest case in its history on Monday, hearing the plight of several small island nations helpless in combating the devastating impact of climate change that they feel endangers their very survival. They demand that major polluting nations be held to account. After years of lobbying by island nations who fear they could simply disappear under rising sea waters, the U.N. General Assembly asked the International Court of Justice last year for an opinion on “the obligations of States in respect of climate change.” “The stakes could not be higher. The survival of...

A group of House Democrats are pushing to create an investigative office within the Supreme Court to probe the justices and any purported conflicts of interest. A group of House Democrats are pushing to create an investigative office within the Supreme Court to probe the justices and any purported conflicts of interest. The legislation, titled the Supreme Court Ethics and Investigations Act, also offers ethics training for the justices and their spouses. “We know the issue of court reform is fundamental to saving our democracy,” Rep. Hank Johnson, Georgia Democrat, said of the bill he co-sponsored and introduced Tuesday. He...

Rep. Hank Johnson attempts to insult Donald Trump's cognitive ability and is promptly reminded by Republican Congressman Thomas Massie that Johnson arguably said the dumbest thing in Congressional history when he suggested the island of Guam could "TIP OVER."

are not crossing into the U.S. illegally, but instead are sitting at the border and seeking asylum, despite record numbers of illegal entries into the country being reported along the southern border. Johnson was asked about the immigration crisis while passing through the halls of the Capitol building, particularly about the nearly 10,000 migrants who cross the border into the U.S. illegally each day. "Well, they’re not crossing into the U.S. illegally," Johnson responded when asked at what point the crossings would become an invasion. "They’re sitting at the border seeking asylum." People seeking asylum, though, must prove they suffered...

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga) hammered GOP opposition to the flood of immigrants flowing across our southern border, calling it "more white oppression of the Black man. Just when we are on the brink of getting reparations for the slavery and discrimination inflicted on us by white supremacists, Republicans want to cut off our access to the cheap labor we will need to support our raised standard of living." Echoing remarks previously uttered by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wa), Johnson said "I want to ask my colleagues across the aisle who will clean our mansions, cook our meals, wash our laundry, tend...

Congressman Hank Johnson (D-GA) got the nickname ‘the dumbest man in Congress’ for saying Guam would tip over and capsize due to overpopulation. No one thought he could top that but he did today. Johnson was talking about the migrant crisis and said that Republicans would “gladly” bring back slavery during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday. Johnson said: “Republicans like to see them migrants lined up at the border because they know that that’s a stream of labor ready to be exploited with cheap, if any, compensation. “I mean, if you could get back to slavery, you would...

The House Judiciary Committee is having a hearing today on crime in New York City, and it’s been pretty interesting so far. Besides the protesters (or insurrectionists, if ya nasty) who showed up to the proceedings chanting and holding signs calling for GOP Rep. Jim Jordan to be indicted, there was also Democratic Rep. Hank Johnson, who accused witnesses who lost family members to crime on D.A. Alvin Bragg’s watch of being “props in a MAGA Broadway production.” Johnson’s remarks were straight-up offensive, but it’s important to note that he wasn’t alone in his sentiments. New York Democratic Rep. Daniel...

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers promoting people placing planted documents theory.Congressman Hank Johnson whose name will be forever associated with Guam capsizing got caught up in a weird alliteration loop while promoting the conspiracy theory that Joe Biden got framed by people planting top secret documents in embarrassing places such as next to his green Corvette in his garage. As you can see, Johnson finally broke out of his alliteration loop with some difficulty.

Democrats are not trying to fix the problem of high gas prices, they’re trying to transform the country to green energy. They’re so obsessed with climate change that they even had a meeting with oil executives last year and pressured them to decrease output. Imagine how different things might be now if they had not done this.

I Warned You About What We’re Living Through TodayJan 7, 2021 RUSH: Hey, folks, it’s great to be back. Really great to be back, and I need to ask you a favor. I need to you to give me a few minutes here just to get my sea legs. This has been a very, very bad couple of weeks for me. I don’t want to get into any more detail about it.

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) stated that “these folks are trying to kill us right now as far as our right to vote. They’re trying to kill our democracy,” and urged people “confront this evil that is right there in front of our face and is ready to choke us to death unless we can show that we’re not going to lay down and let it happen, we’re actually going to seize control. This is our country. We built this country.”

If you'd been able to stare at Earth from space during the late Cretaceous, when Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops roamed, it would've looked like the whole planet had tipped over on its side. According to a new study, Earth tilted by 12 degrees about 84 million years ago.... The researchers found that, between 86 and 79 million years ago, the crust and mantle had rotated around Earth's outer core and back again — causing the entire planet to tilt and then right itself like a roly-poly toy.... ...Prior to the late Cretaceous, the Pacific Plate — the largest tectonic plate...

Several Democratic lawmakers are pushing for Justice Amy Coney Barrett to recuse herself from an upcoming case linked to a conservative group that funded an ad blitz supporting her confirmation to the Supreme Court. In a three-page letter, the lawmakers argued that Barrett was at risk of bias in favor of a litigant funded by Charles Koch, the conservative billionaire behind a group that bankrolled a high-priced ad campaign for the Trump appointee’s Senate confirmation last fall. “Statute, constitutional case law, and common sense all would seem to require your recusal,” Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and...

A House Judiciary Committee hearing erupted in bickering on Wednesday as lawmakers heard testimony from a pair of Justice Department whistleblowers and two former senior officials over allegations that the Trump administration has politicized the agency. The fracas began as former Deputy Attorney General Donald Ayer was delivering an opening statement. As Ayer ran over his allotted five minutes, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) began making a tapping noise to drown him out. Gohmert's behavior angered the Democrats on the committee and prompted one to call for the sergeant-at-arms to intervene."Mr. Chairman, I would ask that the sergeant-at-arms be called upon...
