As a great President used to say....

Need a Monday morning day-brightener?
House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy told Breitbart News that as speaker of the House he would strip Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Eric Swalwell (D-CA) of their assignments on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) of her committee assignment on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
McCarthy also said Swalwell would not be allowed to serve on the Homeland Security Committee either. McCarthy's comments came during the latest On The Hill long-form video special, taped in December at an Eastern Market establishment on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.
"The Democrats have created a new thing where they're picking and choosing who can be on committees," McCarthy said. "Never in the history [of Congress] have you had the majority tell the minority who can be on committee. But this new standard which these Democrats have voted for—if Eric Swalwell cannot get a security clearance in the private sector, there is no reason why he should be given one to be on Intel or Homeland Security. He will not be serving there."
That's from Breitbart News's Matthew Boyle, who reports that Omar's history of anti-Semitism and downplaying of 9/11, Swalwell's steamy relationship with a woman the Intelligence Community identified as a Chinese spy, and Schiff's continuous leaks and lies pretty well made them all unfit for the House intelligence and House foreign affairs committees.
It couldn't happen to a more malevolent group of leftists — leftists whose contempt for the law and the American people offend at every turn.
Mostly, though, it's payback, a continuation of the standards Democrats set themselves when they ousted Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar from their committee assignments, on phony accusations that they were out there shilling for QAnon

McCarthy’s action was the right thing to do, even though the Bushie types in the GOP would probably like to claim that McCarthy shouldn’t stoop to such tit-for-tat antics and should be above it all. But they would be wrong. There’s no other way to “teach” Democrats that in the long run, or possibly two short years, they’ll be forced to live by the standards and rules, spoken and unspoken, that they laid down themselves. Doing this opens a door for them to change if they finally realize that they don’t like the taste of their own cooking.
Now they can live with it. If they don’t like what they did, then their only hope to stop it will be to refrain from doing it next time. That way, they will get the courtesy returned by Republicans in the next round after that. The important thing is that McCarthy is not letting the action slide. They can live with it or not live with it, as they prefer, because the ball is now in their court.
It’s a beginning!!
Sweet.
Well now, how about ol’ Kevin?
Meanwhile, we’ve still got CCP Mitch as minority leader in the Senate...
I remain cautiously optimistic!!!!
The jury is still out.
He’s gonna have to do a lot more to convince me.......time will tell.
Thanks to the enemedia, the sheeple think that these are merely political games. While it is better to be stupid than evil, the stupid party needs to explain the reasoning here especially since their majority is as thin as that of the evil party in the previous congress.
This will have more effect than the bills that will never become law.
Is there a hate America committee they can be on?
Playing tit for tat and being above it all should indeed be over. “Crossing the aisle” and all that other BS. Dems are bullies and all you do with a bully is knock the chip off their shoulder and bully right back
It’s consequences, not payback.
Agree - I’ll take it.
Some news is sweet.
Some news is sweeter. This is sweeter.
He also needs to investigate Swallowswell boinking a Chinese spy. Prima facia evidence she’s a spy, what else would sleep with that Cretin. And investigate Schitt for perjury and leaking grand jury testimony. And investigate Omar’s marriage to her brother to violate immigration laws. Kick them all out of congress and throw THEIR asses in jail . . .
Some news is sweet.

Shiffthead and Swallowswell should both immediately have their clearances yanked. Period. OMAR as well.
That’s a shame. 🙂
A simple sober judgement should say those particulars should not be anywhere near national security issues. No anger or vengeance required.
