However, the choice of Greene as a guest instantly recalls the comments of then-CBS CEO Les Moonves during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign when he admitted that Trump’s candidacy “may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS.” Moonves added, “The money’s rolling in and this is fun. … (T)his is going to be a very good year for us,” concluding, “Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But bring it on, Donald. Keep going.”

Nearly a month into a non-stop airstrike campaign by Israeli forces on the Gaza Strip, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) has officially become the first member of the Senate to call for a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. Since the October 7 attack by Hamas that killed more than 1,400 people in Israel, the nation’s military has reportedly killed more than 9,000 Palestinian people in the territory. In an interview with CNN, Durbin urged the immediate release of Hamas’ hundreds of hostages and the expansion of conversations between Israeli and Palestinian officials. “Let’s face it, this has gone on for decades,” said Durbin. “Whatever the rationale for the beginning, it has now reached an intolerable level. We need to have a resolution in the Middle East that gives some promise for the future.”  Many other politicians, while offering flimsy calls for peace, have avoided the term “ceasefire”—including President Joe Biden, who recently called for a “pause” for the first time since the war began. Durbin is the first senator to use direct language objecting to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s policies, a stance he’s reportedly held for several years. Other legislators, primarily Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), have also called for a ceasefire. Last week, Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) attempted to censure Tlaib, the only Palestinian-American in Congress, for engaging in “antisemitic activity” after she expressed concern over the United States’ role in supplying Israel with weapons. Greene also falsely accused Tlaib of “leading an insurrection” for reportedly attending a pro-Palestine demonstration organized by a Jewish advocacy group. The House rejected the censure on Wednesday. “Achieving a just and lasting peace where Israelis and Palestinians have equal rights and freedoms,” Tlaib said in a statement, “and where no person lives in fear for their safety, requires ending the blockade, occupation, and dehumanizing system of apartheid.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-14-GA) and some others on the far right are fawning all over that incel leaker Jack Teixeira. They may try to make him the new Kyle Rittenhouse. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-14-CA) had an appropriate response to Greene.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) slammed Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) over her comments defending Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira, who was arrested Thursday for his alleged role in leaking Pentagon files.

“McCarthy’s top lieutenant is siding with one of the biggest traitors America has seen,” Swalwell wrote in a tweet on Thursday.

“I’m sorry, Marge, being white, male, and Christian is not license to betray your country and put the lives of thousands at risk,” he added. “But this wouldn’t be the first time she sided with traitors.”

🔥 BURN 🔥

“Jake Teixeira is white, male, christian, and antiwar. That makes him an enemy to the Biden regime,” Greene wrote in a Twitter post. “Ask yourself who is the real enemy? A young low level national guardsmen? Or the administration that is waging war in Ukraine, a non-NATO nation, against nuclear Russia without war powers?”

Teixeira, 21, was taken into custody by the FBI on Thursday, according to the Justice Department.

His arrest comes as a slew of apparent Pentagon documents appeared online in recent days, with some including confidential information on U.S. and NATO support to Ukraine amid the sovereign country’s ongoing war with Russia and others including information apparently collected through spying on allies such as Israel and South Korea.

Greene is a Trump lickspittle. Until last week’s indictment, Trump has gotten away with everything because he’s white, male, (superficially) Christian, AND filthy rich. So it’s natural that she would be drawn to such dregs – even if though she misspelled his first name.

One of Greene’s nicknames is Majorie Traitor Greene. So applauding somebody who doesn’t care about endangering US national security is in keeping with her reputation.

There’s another reason Greene is drawn to Teixeira: racism. The Washington Post reports:

Some Discord members showed The Washington Post video of Teixeira shouting racist and antisemitic slurs before firing a rifle. Like some others interviewed for this story, they spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

I have no sympathy for Teixeira. He disgraced the Air National Guard which did excellent work in NYC during the height of the pandemic. And of course he’s a traitor – regardless of his reasons for pilfering and electronically circulating the documents.

Teixeira was recruited late in the Trump administration when standards may have been lower.

After he serves a few decades in a US prison, perhaps other countries whose security may have been compromised will seek to have him extradited.

Kudos to the FBI for finding the culprit rather quickly. 🏅

EDIT: Stephen Colbert recommended this book for Jack Teixeira last night on his show.

The Onion is hilarious

"We're all here because we have concerns about the seat," Synstelien explained. "See, you bought contractor stock before railing against profitable wars. Your words and actions are consistently inconsistent. No bill you've authored has passed and you have no committee power to advocate for this district."

"Without resorting to rhetoric about Democrat boogeymen, Biden and the woke left, answer this," he continued. "Can you tell us one or two specific objectives that affect our wallets that you can actually pass and explain how you plan to get it done without being guaranteed a committee assignment?"

...

"That's too big an if," Synstelien responded. "Voting for Ms. Greene is a gamble as she's not guaranteed committee power. She's not even accountable for her own tweets or her staff's. We're still not clear on who is acting on the district's behalf. So, how can anyone expect her to bring accountability to Washington?"

"Her only leadership trait right now is rallying people against an enemy," he added. "And little to none of what she just said encourages business in our district or fights out-of-control inflation."

..."President Joe Biden turned his State of the Union address into a muscular campaign kickoff, never once uttering Donald Trump’s name but repeatedly invoking the threat posed by his likely general election foe.

The overtly political tone underscored the stakes of the night for the president. And it was set from the beginning, as a fiery Biden laid out three challenges — the war in Ukraine, the Jan. 6 insurrection and reproductive rights — that would be further imperiled if his predecessor returned to office.

It was a president recognizing the campaign crunch he faces. His speech was not an act of reconciliation or an effort to forge political unity. It was the opening salvo in what seemed certain to be a historically long and unprecedentedly ugly rematch between him and Trump.

“As I’ve done ever since being elected to office, I ask you all, without regard to party, to join together and defend our democracy,” Biden told the assembled lawmakers, plainly laying out the stakes of November’s contest.

The speech was well received by Democrats, who have spent months fretting whether Biden has the vigor for the campaign ahead.

“Nobody is going to talk about cognitive impairment now,” Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) told the president shortly after he was done.

“So here’s my question — are we going to have another forty news cycles about Biden’s age now that he just delivered a barnstormer on the House floor?” said Pat Dennis, the president of American Bridge 21st Century, a top Democratic super PAC. “His opponent couldn’t tout record job numbers, protecting reproductive rights, or unifying our nation at his State of the Union addresses — because he didn’t do any of those things. The comparison between Donald Trump and President Biden couldn’t be more stark.”

And, to a degree, that was a victory for the White House.

But the speech was hardly defensive. Coming eight months before voters go to the polls, the address saw Biden defend the nation’s democracy against extremist forces and repeatedly attack Trump, the criminally indicted presumptive presidential nominee.

Biden delivered a vigorous and rapid speech for 67 minutes at high volume. He had some stumbles but also delighted his staff with the way he jostled with Republicans. He painted himself as an experienced, steady hand, even if he was getting long in the tooth.

“Now some other people my age see a different story,” said Biden, who referred to his “predecessor” 13 times. “An American story of resentment, revenge, and retribution. That’s not me.”

The State of the Union address has proven to be a beneficial moment for Biden during his presidency. Last year, he won an impromptu exchange with Republican hecklers about the future of Social Security and Medicare. But while internal White House polling from a year ago revealed the speech eased some voters’ doubts about Biden’s age, West Wing aides have repeatedly acknowledged the stakes are much higher now with Election Day approaching.

That is, in part, because of the sheer number of complicated issues Biden faces. On Thursday, he confronted a variety of those. Biden touted an improving American economy and addressed the migrant influx at the southern U.S. border by highlighting how Republicans rejected the recent bipartisan border security deal at Trump’s behest.

He also held up a button handed to him earlier by heckler Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and addressed the parents of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old student killed last month by an illegal immigrant. Though he flubbed the victim’s first name and used the cringeworthy term “an illegal,” he used the moment to call for the GOP to approve the bill it once supported.

“Unfortunately congressional politics has derailed this bill so far,” Biden said. “Look at the facts: I know you know how to read.”

Perhaps the thorniest topic, however, was the Israel-Hamas war, which Biden had not given a major address on since the days following the Oct. 7 attacks that set the fighting in motion. The night gave Biden a chance to reframe the conflict, to more clearly articulate why the United States has backed Israel despite the images of humanitarian horror emerging from Gaza. His handling of the war has received low marks in polling and has alienated some of his base. The president on Thursday tried once more to thread the needle, acknowledging Israel’s right to defend itself, while also ordering the construction of a floating pier off Gaza to help facilitate aid deliveries to the suffering Palestinians.

The speech took head-on the dividing lines that have come to define this presidency, in which pleas for partisan differences to be set aside often clash against the realities of modern politics. A symbol of the bitter politics appeared just over Biden’s left shoulder: House Speaker Mike Johnson, whose brief time in power has been marked by internal GOP dysfunction but also an effort to impeach the president with little evidence. Johnson repeatedly grimaced and shook his head at a number of lines that Democrats cheered.

Biden seemed nonplussed by how Republicans received his remarks. Instead, he appeared aiming to not just ease Democratic fears but to outfit them with a campaign template: the new mantle of the party of freedom. That included over reproductive rights."

God's Whistleblower

The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. Proverbs 15:3 (ESV)

One day the members of the heavenly court came to present themselves before the LORD, and the Accuser, Satan, came with them. “Where have you come from?” the LORD asked Satan. Satan answered the LORD, “I have been patrolling the earth, watching everything that’s going on.” Job 1:6-7 (NLT)

So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches? Luke 16:11 (BSB)

“Woe to the rebellious children,” says the LORD, “Who take counsel, but not of Me, And who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, That they may add sin to sin." Isaiah 30:1 (NKJV) 

What are worthless and wicked people like? They are constant liars. Proverbs 6:12 (NLT) 

This is what the LORD says: “See how the waters are rising in the north; they will become an overflowing torrent. They will overflow the land and everything in it, the towns and those who live in them. The people will cry out; all who dwell in the land will wail. Jeremiah 47:2 (NIV)

And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne. And there were open books, and one of them was the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their deeds, as recorded in the books. Apocalypse 20:12 (BSB)

And if anyone was found whose name was not written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Apocalypse 20:15 (BSB)

Greene thinks that being in Congress is a joke. Her destructive and pointless behavior is the type of crap one expects from a snotty nosed high school freshman suffering from deep rooted insecurity. Unpopular, unloved she craves attention and has learned that she succeeds at this through destructive behaviors. Not fit to do her job.

Speaker Mike Johson (R-LA) backtracked and caved to the deep state and Democrats, moving to slip a deep state authorization into the defense bill.

Reports say that congressional leaders, including Johnson, agreed to put an extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The bill would extend Section 702 until April 19.

This frustrated many conservatives, including those who were supposed to be instrumental in crafting the final texts for the NDAA.

Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) released a video statement after she said that leadership asked conferees, which includes herself, to agree to the 3000-plus page NDAA, which is “being released behind closed doors without even getting time to read it!”

The Peach State conservative blamed Johnson for negotiating with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to “cut a deal” that would contain prohibitions against funding for abortion and “trans surgery prohibitions” that were in the House-passed NDAA under former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
