Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney claimed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stopped her son, an active duty Marine, be there for her swearing-in ceremony — but Pelosi’s office tells Fox News the reason for this was due to COVID-19 restrictions put in place by the House Sergeant at Arms and the congressional Attending Physician.
The race for New York’s 22nd Congressional Race, Tenney’s district, wasn’t decided until this week—after more than three months since the November election and dozens of days in court.
A gun control bill that would create a national firearm registry, require licensing and psychological evaluations, government training and insurance was quietly introduced by a Democrat lawmaker in the House of Representatives last month.
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee introduced the bill, dubbed “Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act,” on Jan. 4, 2021. The legislation’s name honors a Pakistani exchange student who died during a school shooting in Texas in 2018.
Under the proposed bill, gun owners would be required to purchase $800 insurance that protects the person “against liability for losses and damages resulting from the use of any firearm by the person” for one year.
The stunning admission of a cover-up was made by Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa during a video conference call with state Democratic leaders in which she said the Cuomo administration had rebuffed a legislative request for the tally in August because “right around the same time, [then-President Donald Trump] turns this into a giant political football,” according to an audio recording of the two-hour-plus meeting.
“He starts tweeting that we killed everyone in nursing homes,” DeRosa said. “He starts going after [New Jersey Gov. Phil] Murphy, starts going after [California Gov. Gavin] Newsom, starts going after [Michigan Gov.] Gretchen Whitmer.”
In addition to attacking Cuomo’s fellow Democratic governors, DeRosa said, Trump “directs the Department of Justice to do an investigation into us.”
“And basically, we froze,” she told the lawmakers on the call.
“Because then we were in a position where we weren’t sure if what we were going to give to the Department of Justice, or what we give to you guys, what we start saying, was going to be used against us while we weren’t sure if there was going to be an investigation.”
DeRosa added: “That played a very large role into this.”
After dropping the bombshell, DeRosa asked for “a little bit of appreciation of the context” and offered what appears to be the Cuomo administration’s first apology for its handling of nursing homes amid the pandemic.
But instead of a mea culpa to the grieving family members of more than 13,000 dead seniors or the critics who say the Health Department spread COVID-19 in the care facilities with a March 25 state Health Department directive that nursing homes admit infected patients, DeRosa tried to make amends with the fellow Democrats for the political inconvenience it caused them.
“So we do apologize,” she said. “I do understand the position that you were put in. I know that it is not fair. It was not our intention to put you in that political position with the Republicans.”
Assembly Health Committee Chairman Richard Gottfried (D-Manhattan) immediately rejected DeRosa’s expression of remorse, according to the recording.
“I don’t have enough time today to explain all the reasons why I don’t give that any credit at all,” said Gottfried, one of the lawmakers who demanded the death-toll data in August.
State Senate Aging Committee Chairwoman Rachel May (D-Syracuse) — who was battered during her re-election bid last year over the issue of nursing-home deaths — also ripped into DeRosa, saying her former opponent had launched another broadside earlier in the day.
“And the issue for me, the biggest issue of all is feeling like I needed to defend — or at least not attack — an administration that was appearing to be covering something up,” she said.
“And in a, in a pandemic, when you want the public to trust the public-health officials, and there is this clear feeling that they’re not coming, being forthcoming with you, that is really hard and it remains difficult.”
The comedy of errors now playing in D.C. is nothing but a sideshow for the corrupt Democrat party. The Deep State has insulated them from prosecution for the past half century. Trump stepped on their feet. They then resorted to stealing the election for President and the two Senate seats in Georgia. Currently they are covering their tracks in what will be called the greatest charade the world has ever seen.
Back in the day, when law enforcement was the responsibility of forthright citizens, this type media circus would never see the curtains go up, let alone offer a view of the stage. Not to say we condone violence here, but a Constitutional issue is at hand. The Supreme Court should jump in. A ruling that a ex-President can’t be impeached will put a stop to the animals conducting this circus. Where are you Gorsuch, where are you Kavanaugh. If you see them in a grocery store your push back, tell them they are not welcome.
They fall in line like bees bringing food to the queen. In this case the head of the head of the AFL-CIO, Richard Trumka, was colonoscopied by Joe Biden. Biden wrapped the colonoscope with razor wire before inserting. So what was the cause of this blood bath Biden cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline which was to carry hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil from Canada to the U.S. The ramifications continue to be felt by the thousands of jobs lost and the immediate loss of 1000 construction workers laying the pipe. In other words Joe Biden gave these thousands of workers the PIPE.
Trumka expressed displeasure with the pipeline project cancellation but also praised Biden as possibly “the best union president we ever had” during an “Axios on HBO” interview that aired on Sunday.
“It suggests that he’s going to get something in return for sitting silent on a matter that is negatively impacting [workers],” Greszler said, referencing union-backed policies like a $15 federal minimum wage and the PRO Act.
Biden has pledged to create new “high-paying union jobs” through investments in green energy infrastructure projects.
The union guys on the ground no this is not true, that no jobs will be created and if they are, they will not be qualified to do them. In the meantime they will lose their houses, suicides will rise and divorces are inevitable.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar is cutting ties with her husband’s political consulting firm after winning her bid for reelection, saying she wants to ensure her supporters feel there’s no perceived issue.
Omar married her political consultant, Tim Mynett, in March, sparking scrutiny and a complaint to the Federal Election Commission by a conservative group that alleged campaign funds paid for Mynett’s personal travel. The FEC has taken no public action on that complaint, and Omar has said payments to Mynett’s firm, E Street Group, were legitimate.
In an email to her supporters on Sunday, Omar said her campaign was terminating its contract with E Street Group to “make sure that anybody who is supporting our campaign with their time or financial support feels there is no perceived issue with that support,” the Star Tribune reported.
Rep. Omar has paid husband’s political consulting firm nearly $2.8M
Rep. Ilhan Omar has funneled nearly $2.8 million to her husband’s political consulting company since the beginning of 2019, according to a report.
Omar’s campaign paid $1.6 million to E Street Group LLC, which is owned by her husband, Tim Mynett, from the start of 2019 to July 22, 2020, Fox News reported Tuesday, citing Federal Election Commission data.
Another $1.1 million was sent to the firm in the third quarter and $27,000 in the following weeks.
The $1.1 million figure represented nearly 70 percent of the $1.6 million that her campaign spent in those three months, the report said.
The expenses were for a range of campaign services, including cable advertising, “digital consulting,” video production and editing, Fox News said.
