Millions of taxpayer dollars were spent on transgender surgeries and treatments on animals, House Oversight Committee Chairman Eli Crane (R-AZ) confirmed yet again this week. According to reports, the committee revealed that $241 million in taxpayer dollars were used to study transgender surgeries and treatments on animals. What is perhaps more, former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases chief Anthony Fauci gave the green light to the bulk of these cruel and unusual experiments. “Insane, right?” Crane said of the report on Tuesday. The confirmation is welcomed but the news is not new, as taxpayer watchdog White Coat Waste...

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina has established herself as a flawed-yet-principled advocate for women. Meanwhile, former Democratic Gov. Martin O’Malley of Maryland, who served as Social Security Commissioner for less than a year under President Joe Biden and whom extreme political junkies might remember as an obscure Democratic presidential candidate in 2016, has exposed himself as the latest in a long line of cowardly and spiritually corrupt woke leftists who cannot, or will not, explain the difference between a man and a woman. On Wednesday, at a hearing of the House Oversight Committee focused on the stay-at-home federal...

House Oversight and Government Reform Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) plans to meet next week with Kash Patel, President-elect Donald Trump’s yet-to-be-confirmed pick to run the FBI, to discuss how he can be an ally in the new administration’s efforts to root out the so-called Deep State. “I want [Patel] to know that our committee will assist in any way possible to help him disrupt the ‘Deep State,’” Comer said in an interview on Thursday, referring to the conspiracy of illicit power-players running the government. Patel, who if confirmed would replace Christopher Wray as head of the FBI, has come under...

A new report released by the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight into the January 6 pipe bomber shows the FBI stopped looking for the suspect in 2021 and covered up evidence. The FBI is now refusing to cooperate with Congressional investigators. In September, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino said according to a whistleblower, after the pipe bombs were found at the RNC and DNC headquarters, “assets on the ground, including a whistleblower, was briefed about the pipe bombs the next day and show a picture of a guy in a hoodie.” However, according to the whistleblower, the...

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is attacking the merits of a House Administration Oversight Subcommittee report, which found she allegedly “tampered with at least one witness” of the January 6 Committee. Cheney provided a lengthy statement to Fox News on Tuesday in response to the report released by subcommittee Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA). Loudermilk wrote, “Based on the evidence obtained by this Subcommittee, numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney” and recommended the FBI investigate Cheney’s alleged “violations.”

Progressive darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 35, flopped in her bid to helm the powerful House Oversight Committee, losing to Rep. Gerry Connolly, 74, who is foreshadowing political “trench warfare” against the GOP. Connolly (D-Va.) won the spot in a House Democratic caucus vote Tuesday, one day after notching the support from the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee. “Tried my best. Sorry I couldn’t pull it through everyone — we live to fight another day,” the Empire State rep posted on her BlueSky account after losing the vote. Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had been the No. 2 Democrat on the committee for the...

The House Administration Oversight Subcommittee and its chairman Barry Loudermilk on Tuesday released an interim report on the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, concluding the attack was preventable and also asking for an investigation into former Rep. Liz Cheney for criminally tampering with a witness during the Democrat-led congressional inquiry of the tragedy. “Based on the evidence obtained by this Subcommittee, numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, the former Vice Chair of the January 6 Select Committee, and these violations should be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the report released by the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee...

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is under scrutiny following its noncompliance with a subpoena from the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.

The FBI is silent. Will the Chinese Communist Party be able to continue its coordinated operation? On September 12, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability renewed its request to FBI Director Christopher Wray for all information, documents, and communications in the FBI’s possession related to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) — affiliated entities and officials with whom Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has engaged and partnered. The third hearing on this matter was held on September 24. During the hearing, experts detailed how the CCP has successfully waged an influence and infiltration campaign targeting critical U.S. industries and politicians. Walz has...

A whistleblower revealed information on Tim Walz’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) subpoenaed DHS Chief Alejandro Mayorkas for information on a long-standing connection between the CCP and Tim Walz. “According to recently received whistleblower disclosures, we’ve learned of a non-classified, Microsoft Teams group chat among DHS employees and additional intelligence reports that contain information regarding a longstanding connection between the CCP and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz,” the Oversight Committee announced on Monday. “Specifically, through whistleblower disclosures, we’ve learned of a non-classified, Microsoft Teams group chat among DHS employees—titled “NST NFT Bi-Weekly Sync”—that...

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has subpoenaed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas about unspecified allegations of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) connections against Democrat Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. In a letter accompanying the subpoena released on Thursday, Comer said the House Oversight and Accountability Committee received information from a whistleblower about “serious concern among Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel regarding a longstanding connection between” Tim Walz and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The letter was issued just one day before Walz is set to debate Trump vice-presidential pick JD Vance in the televised debate on Tuesday. Per the Hill: Specifically, Comer...

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) said Thursday the FBI is withholding the information he requested about Minnesota governor Tim Walz’s trips to China and whether he interacted with Chinese Communist Party affiliates.... Now, Comer is expanding his investigation to include Walz’s ties to a Minnesota-based research facility that partnered with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the Chinese lab at the center of the leak-leak theory of Covid-19 origins. A Washington Examiner investigation earlier this month revealed that during his congressional tenure, Walz secured millions of funding for the Hormel Institute....
