Pelosi’s Private Police Force

Oh, this is fun.  From Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas):

On November 20th, 2021, Capitol Police entered my office without my knowledge and photographed confidential legislative products protected by the Speech and Debate clause enshrined in the Constitution, Article 1 Section 6.

Two days later on Monday November 22, 2021 (Thanksgiving week), three intelligence officers attempted to enter my office while the House was in recess.

Upon discovering a member of my staff, special agents dressed like construction workers began to question him as to the contents of a photograph taken illegally two days earlier.

@CapitolPolice never informed myself or senior level staff of their investigation and the reasons are clear.

They had no authority to photograph my office, let alone investigate myself or members of my staff.

So, why is the Capitol Police Leadership maliciously investigating me in an attempt to destroy me and my character?

Maybe it is because I have been a vocal critic of @SpeakerPelosi, the @January6thCmte, and @CapitolPolice leadership about their handling of January 6th, the death of Ashli Babbitt and the subsequent SHAM investigation.

So the Capitol Cops, not content with murdering an innocent woman in January last year, have been caught with their dirty little fingers in the cookie jar, again.

Two things to ponder:

  • Who, exactly, authorized these clearly-illegal activities?
  • What will the punishment be, not only for this person, but for the agents involved in the wrongdoing?  and
  • When do the public floggings begin?

Had this happened during the Trump Administration, with a Republican Speaker and Democrat congressmen the targets, would we be seeing the same official and media shrug of the shoulders as is happening now?

It’s a rhetorical question.

Quote Of The Day

“Sexual politics have done to literature what Bomber Command did to Dresden’s architecture.”  — Taki

I wish to take issue with the old Greek bastard on this one.  Bomber Command might have destroyed Dresden’s architecture, but it didn’t emasculate it.

Damn Immigrants

…coming over here, sleeping with our Murkin wimmins, taking our jobs, and now (gasp) wanting to destroy our beloved Department of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms:

Born an Englishman but a U.S. citizen since 2006, Martin Hyde knew the danger such lists pose. He’d seen how they had been misused in England, Australia and elsewhere.

“When a government has a list of the people who own guns, it almost always leads to confiscation,” Hyde said. “When I saw this, I knew the ATF had to go – it has to be abolished or broken up. Besides, no one makes a better case for abolishing the ATF than the ATF.

“I grew up in London without the right to keep and bear arms. Englishmen were never unarmed; we were disarmed by the government. Americans don’t understand what that’s like, thankfully. Our Second Amendment prohibits the government from disarming the people, and it needs to be protected – enshrined, if you will.”

And yes, he’s become a keen gun owner since becoming a citizen.

Hard Copies

Talking about the whole Neil Young fiasco, The Middle Finger Lady reminds us:

Oh, wait — wrong excerpt.  I meant this one:

It’s even worse now. Consumers don’t even really “buy” content anymore — they rent it, suckered into paying a monthly subscription. If the stuff they love disappears from a service, it disappears. There’s nothing that can be done. I don’t want sometimes access to my favorite art and literature. I want it all the time.

So buy the DVD. Buy the book. Buy the CD or vinyl. You get to keep it. The digital powers may be able to make your words disappear, but to take away the stuff you can hold it in your hands is impossible.

Almost as bad, as I discovered the other evening when re-watching one of my favorite TV movies of all time (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo ) on Amazon Prime, the streaming service can also alter the original content:  the current version of Dragon  has gaping holes in the plot where Amazon has clipped out whole scenes for no reason whatsoever.

Fuckers.

So I’m going to buy the Millennium trilogy on DVD.  From Walmart.
