Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) ripped Democrats for “raising bail for the rioters and looters” while Republicans have consistently condemned any type of violence. During the markups in the committee room Tuesday, Republican members tried to put forth an amendment aimed to prevent police agencies from being defunded by local governments by withholding grant money from the municipalities that do so. Rep. Val Demings (D-FL) tried to accuse Republicans of only supporting the police when it is politically convenient. Demings said, "I’m glad to hear my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are on the side of law enforcement...

Jim Jordan completely exposes FauxChi. Little Tony boy can't give direct answers to questions. FauxChi clearly states he does not care about American's liberties. He can't tell us the metrics for herb immunity or when this is over. If you want to raise your blood pressure, watch this video.

Former House Speaker John Boehner said in a preview video of an interview to be broadcast on “CBS Sunday Morning” that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) was a political terrorist and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was a “jerk.” Referencing Boehner’s forthcoming memoir, host John Dickerson said, “You call some of these members political terrorists.”

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) released a scathing letter to House Judiciary chief Jerry Nadler denouncing the Biden administration's handling of the border crisis. "The humanitarian and security crisis on our southern border is the direct result of President Biden's abrupt reversal of President Trump's successful immigration policy," Jordan's letter begins. "The Judiciary Committee... cannot ignore this crisis. "Because Democrats refuse to act, we write to notify you that Committee Republicans intend to travel to the southern border in the coming weeks to hear directly from individuals affected by the Biden border crisis." Explaining why Republicans will be traveling to the...

Thursday, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the House Judiciary Committee ranking member, recounted some of the aspects of a hearing and Big Tech, where he questioned how the First Amendment applied in certain circumstances. Jordan explained much of what Democrats were doing in the beginning stages of this Congress had bypassed the committee process. “They’ve been taking bills around the Judiciary Committee straight to the floor, almost every piece of legislation that’s passed in the last three weeks, we had jurisdiction over but the full committee is yet to have a hearing,” he said. “We’ve said why not have a hearing...

JUST IN: AG William Barr responds to SDNY attorney Geoffrey Berman: "Unfortunately, with your statement of last night, you have chosen public spectacle over public service... I have asked the President to remove you as of today, and he has done so."

American denim giant Levi Strauss & Co. announced Tuesday that it is launching a series of new initiatives to benefit groups working to prevent gun violence. Levi Strauss’ CEO and President Chip Bergh wrote it Fortune on Tuesday that the company “simply cannot stand by silently when it comes to issues that threaten the very fabric of the communities where we live and work.” “You may wonder why a company that doesn’t manufacture or sell guns is wading into this issue, but for us, it’s simple,” Bergh wrote. “Americans shouldn’t have to live in fear of gun violence. It’s an...

They looked like brand-new blue jeans, but Jock Taylor knew those Levi's sat in an old family trunk for decades - maybe a century. Judging from their size (W: 44, L: 37) they probably belonged to his great-great grandfather Solomon Warner, an Arizona pioneer from the 1800s. If so, they're worth a small fortune, says Brit Eaton, a dealer in old jeans who actually searches abandoned mines for inventory. "Vintage denim can be worth thousands of dollars," Eaton says. "Finding Levi's pre-1900 is a massive rarity. That's the Holy Grail." ------------- Auctioneer Daniel Buck Soules recalls Taylor approaching him. "Why...

The illusion of supposed conservatism, for scholars like Strauss and for politicians like George W. Bush and Mitt Romney, is that the political spectrum in America has shifted so far to the Left that yesterday’s liberals are today’s conservatives says Author and Speaker Jeff Nyquist...

The first person to make an offensive Jewish joke about the arrest of Dominique Strauss-Kahn was professional fire breather Ann Coulter in a tweet playing off the identity of the hotel maid, a devout Muslim from West Africa. "DSK accuser a muslim, he's jewish, so now DSK is claiming he raped in self defense"

NEW YORK - A law enforcement official and a union official say International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn is under a suicide watch in jail. Norman Seabrook heads New York City's corrections officer union. He told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Strauss-Kahn was under the watch at Rikers Island. A law enforcement official confirmed that Strauss-Kahn was placed under watch after undergoing a mental health evaluation. The official spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of prisoners' medical information. The official says the 62-year-old Strauss-Kahn did not try to harm himself. He was arrested...

The secret is not so well kept, there are women who are attracted to men in power. The drive is probably biological, so we need not be too hard on these pathetic weaklings who feed the egos of hedonists by compromising their bodies and their self-respect. At least, there is a measure of consent at some point. In the end, a woman feels empowered and a man feels the hubris of Caesar as he spread his seed over ancient Europe. Eventually, there is the realization that they have betrayed the trust of those who believed in them, but more importantly,...

A conga line formed at a classical music concert last Saturday. In a sold-out Vienna arena that will host Lady Gaga later this year, audience members danced in the aisles, waved flags from around the world, and pressed against the stage with flowers and wine—all for the Dutch violinist and conductor André Rieu, who held sway with a wagging violin bow and permanent smile for more than two hours, through seven encores and a deluge of balloons. Wearing a dark blue tuxedo and gold watch chain, his hair swept back to his shoulders, the 60-year-old grandfather/sex symbol led his 55-piece...

The late Gloria Strauss Seattle, Wash., Jul 31, 2009 / 05:23 am (CNA).- The short life of a devout, Catholic, young girl from Seattle has brought many Catholics across the United States back to the Church.  Her holy and loving example, as well as her battle with cancer, has drawn others to convert to Catholicism and has inspired the creation of an organization to reach out to families with a loved one facing a chronic illness.Gloria was born in 1996 to Doug and Kristen Strauss and was like any other seven-year old.  She enjoyed playing with her six siblings and friends,...

AUSTIN — Rep. Joe Straus claimed enough votes Sunday night to be elected next week as speaker of the Texas House, a post that wields considerable influence over state priorities, including the amount of taxes you pay and the cost for you or your children to attend college. Assuming his supporters don't waver, the San Antonio Republican would assume one of the most powerful positions in state politics from incumbent Tom Craddick, a Midland Republican who dropped his bid to be re-elected as leader of the House. "He has withdrawn his candidacy and freed up his pledges," said Rep. Will...
