The economy rebound.

There is a lot I would like to write this evening, however, it is prudent to draw people's attention to the economy. It is the only pickable issue for the Republicans. We do not need Republicans in the US government. They are unable to handle the power and responsiblity of governance of the American people.

All Americans need to remember is that the Republican Party has a difficult and illegal extremist element and that element is not good for the country. It is reasponsible for plutocrats, economic exploitation that leads to government bailouts, insurrectionists and anti-American religious bigots.

That said and realizing the extent the American voter is facing the election of 2022 with economic stress being one of the larger issues of our times, I thought it best to refresh everyone that new economics are needed anyway.

This is Nobel Prize Winner William D. Nordhous. He has a lot of interesting things to say.

Interestingly enough, Dr. Nordhous discusses "harmonized carbon prices." I am fairly confident he did not envision a Russian invasion of Ukraine as achieving that goal. That reality has caused a return to coal in some countries and purchases of coal have turned to Africa. The cost of transportation is less in most instances to countries such as Germany. So, while Putin's genocide is pushing the cost of carbon higher and uniformly, it hardly is bringing about efficient reduction of greenhouse gases.

Dr. Nordhous is discussing the reason for removing carbon emissions from the global community as a peacetime measure through agreements. One would think since part of the goal is uniform high cost of carbon and the opportunity to shed it all together and build wind mill farms and solar fields which even in Third World countries can be the best alternative and not a return to coal.

Cap and Trade

The EU ETS is a cornerstone of the EU's policy (click here) to combat climate change and its key tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions cost-effectively. It is the world's first major carbon market and remains the biggest one.

Carbon Tax vs. Cap and Trade 

From an economist’s perspective, (click here) climate change is an example of a negative externality. Externalities seem to have been first discussed in Arthur Pigou’s 1920 book The Economics of Welfare, and can be thought of as the spillover from an activity. An example of a negative externality is a chemical plant that releases its wastewater into a nearby river. There can also be positive externalities: if you have work done on your house to make it more attractive you increase the value of your neighbours’ houses as well as your own. Either way, an externality affects people not directly participating in the activity, like the people downstream of the chemical plant....

The idea of the Pigouvian tax in regard to the mention above, is that the USA, on a global basis, is a huge offender of negative externality. It produces enormous amounts of carbon emissions, as does China. In that is the reality as to how to make countries causing a negative externality to everyone on Earth be a positive externality in reducing all greenhouse gases to zero?

That is the real focus. No matter Cap and Trade or a Carbon Tax, they both have to work to bring about positive externalities to every human life and biotic systems on Earth.

IT HAS TO WORK to the benefit of all, hence, the uniform global cost of carbon, even coal.

The effort cannot be exploited as the Millenium Assessment of 2000 was by those seeking wealth over effective carbon sinks. Examples are in Indonesia rainforests were destroyed to plant palm oil platation farms run by corporations (click here). In Brazil under directives of Bolsonaro (click here) destroys rainforest to plant grass for cows. The plantations of Indonesia and the cattle farms of Brazil are negative externals. Grass and palm oil plantations do not have the same carbon sink value as rainforests. 

As a side note, the Bazil states that carried a majority for Bolsonaro had 78 percent higher death rates from COVID-19. It simply proves this type of leadership is completely anti-life no matter the manifestation it takes.

Below are the graphs that (1) justifies the concern and need for policy of the climate crisis and (2) the reality of the current climate outcomes that fall short. It is why the IPCC (click here) is demanding fast resolve to greenhouse gas emissions.

I sincerely believe ZERO emissions is the only reasonable goal at this point. Reaching for such an outcome may very well stabilize the climate enough far earlier than reaching the zero emission goal.

The fact is that politics is a real enemy to Earth's climate. To sell out energy needs to the coal industry is because electorates do not place enough importance on climate to move away completely from carbon fuels and emissions. There is no reason for this because moving to a Zero Emission goal is a win/win scenario. People can be spoken to in speeches to present strong economic outcomes while shedding old polluting forms of energy. This is a global concept and not just one for First World countries. All people understand the horrid weather patterns, sea level rise and water shortages.

The climate crisis today can become the climate catastrophe tomorrow and people understand that. The real politics is bringing that catastrophe to life and linking it to far better energy options and outcomes. People will vote for their future and their children's futures when they are presented with such options and realistic goals. Dr. Nordhous addresses reality and the new economic plans.








































Below are the prices now being charged in countries around the world. There are dearly few addressing it realistically. What I find most interesting about the table below is Dr. Nordhouse looked for the contribution of the United States of America and only found participation in the northeast United States. When figuring the entire world, the actual price being paid for carbon emissions is only 40 cents per tonne (1000 kilograms).

Dr. Nordhouse states the carbon price is unharmonized both structurally and economically. He states that international climate policy is at a dead end because of the Free Rider problem.

It is my sincerest belief Dr. Nordhouse needs to work hand in hand with the IPCC and with every country in the world to bring about commitments that will literally save the world. 

Good night.














The belief in Non-Violent Reform.

Michael Moore reminds us that non-violent reform is the mainstay of American democracy and must take place. The strongest method of non-violent reform is voting. It is important for all those outraged by the elitist Supreme Court ruling to vote and remove those from office that faciliate the corruption now within the US Supreme Court. This ruling completely changes the lives of every American woman of child bearing age, including, teenagers as young as 11 and 12 years old exposed to incest and pedophilia (click here).

It is unthinkable to give credence to pedophilia, incest or rape. It is unconscionable. It is disgusting and the Republican Party's Governors are awash in it. The shadow of rape, incest and pedophilia is enough, but, to give birth to a criminal's offspring is a way of guaranteeing never being rid of them. I do not buy the idea a baby born of rape, incest or pedophilia has no fault in their conception. That is more ludicrous than can said. There is no reason for a pregnancy to turn into a life long nightmare.

It is time to fight back against religious bigotry.

There is no doubt today Roe v. Wade is based in gross malpractice driven by religious bigotry. Realizing that, is reason to begin the fight against it. The states that now outlaw abortions are prime grounds for lawsuits based in sincere health needs, mental health needs and the rights of women to control their own bodies, including abortions that is a trusting relationship between they and their doctors. 

Roe v. Wade being overturned by a bigoted court will spawn a legislative effort and rightfully so, but, there needs to be additional abortion lawsuits begun in the states without abortion practices to protect the well being of women. The Supreme Court would like to think this is the end of hearings about abortion. They could not be more wrong.

It is plainly obvious now that Thomas and Virginia Thomas are a married couple unafraid of sedition.

The Roberts' Court's zealots weaponized the Fourteenth Amendment.

It is gross malpractice intended to please The Federalist Society (click here for image below).

The Fourteenth Amendment addresses many aspects of citizenship and the rights of citizens.  The most commonly used -- and frequently litigated -- phrase in the amendment is  "equal protection of the laws", which figures prominently in a wide variety of landmark cases, including Brown v. Board of Education (racial discrimination), Roe v. Wade (reproductive rights),  Bush v. Gore (election recounts), Reed v. Reed (gender discrimination),  and University of California v. Bakke (racial quotas in education). 

The Fourteeth Amendment

Section 1

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Women are citizens of the USA. Women have the right to vote with the ratification of the 19th Amendment (click here).

Section 2

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

Well, women are counted in the USA Census that creates the number of US Representatives in the US House of Representatives. So, far I don't see where the Supreme Court has found new enlightenment to treat women as second class citizens.

Women has been serving this country in the military since 1948 (click here) and in combat since 2015 (click here). I am nto finding the fantasy that Alito wrote yet.

Section 3

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

I am still not seeing Alito's dreamscape.

Section 4

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Alito has continued his delusion. 

Section 5

The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

The Roberts' Court is guilty of gross malpractice for the purpose of instilling a theocracy for political purposes. Clarence Thomas makes if very, very plain the focus of the six incompetent member majority will destroy the rights of Americans until the population and it's IDENTITY matches the value system of the White Evangelicals that have paid mightly for it.

I see no competency here for the six rebellious justices with their only allegiane to the Christian Evangelical Bible. 

It is time for the US Congress to hold hearings. This is malpractice of the law and the Roberts' Court believes they are above the US Constitution.

We currently have an Attorney General that should have been sitting on the Supreme Court today.

The clinics that remain open in the country, may want to consider "Hot Lines" for victims of the Supreme Court.

The phones started ringing, (click here) as they always did, moments after Houston Women’s Reproductive Services opened for business at 9 a.m. on Friday — with patients in need of abortions calling to secure a spot on the schedule.

Then, 12 minutes later, it all came to a stop. The Supreme Court had overturned Roe v. Wade.

“Can we still do abortions today?” asked patient advocate Marjorie Eisen, thinking about the 20 women they had booked for appointments.

Several were already in the waiting room, scrolling through their phones as they waited.

“No,” said Kathy Kleinfeld, a co-owner of the clinic. “We’re done.”...

The arrogance is simply disgusting.

Yesterday, I thought if my 87 year old mother calls about this she will be overjoyed. That is what I sincerely thought simply because she is a woman that is a Catholic that attends mass daily and has since she retired in her early sixties. She takes a few plastic baby bottles every year during the annual fundraising for underpriviledged youth and fills them with loose change.

So, when the phone rang and it was her shortly after the VERDICT was announced I simply listened and she said, "What do they think they are doing to women and children?"

It turned out to be a rather interesting conversation from a woman I never expected to be that open minded about abortion. So, basically, with a very clear mind at that age, she stated, "They are judging people and not the law." I explained to her it is a political ambition and nothing more and she stated clearly to me again, "But, sweetheart, they are judging people. Even in the strickest terms of religion and politics it isn't anyone's place to judge others. No one has to endear every person to themselves as if their best friends, but, as Americans we do have to accept each other and elevate each other to live a good and decent life."

So, there you have it. My family is rather incredible. We are a large Irish-American family that values life and the comforts of liberty. We are educated folks. Yesterday's VERDICT by the Supreme Court was complete and absolute arrogance for personal and political directives and has absolutely nothing to do with quality of life.

Yesterday the United States Supreme Court passed judgement on the women of this country. As a result there will be mental health problems with women and with children. Adoption is not a substitute for abortion. There are lingering shadows to adoption and those shadows plague women and children all their lives. We are also not short on citizens. We have a healthy population and growing. Sometimes it grows more than other times, but, there is no reason to believe abortion was hindering the country, quite the contrary, it was allowing the people of this country to be fulfilled and prosperous.

There will be more government spending now. More women and men will be impoverished. There will be need for more government services and the Foster Care system will be over populated. Women will have babies and convince themselves and/or their families they can do a good job raising them, but, ultimately they will end up in poverty collecting welfare and food stamps and then when the children finally start to go to school an arrogant teacher will make a referral to social work and the circus of the Foster Care system will begin.

The Robert's Court is arrogant, lives in a world separate from mainstream America and is grossly affording themselves the highest form of malpractice of the laws of this country.

Less abortion, more adoption. Why is that controversial?" (click here)

That was the response of Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, to Politico's bombshell revelation Monday night: a leaked Supreme Court majority opinion suggesting that we face the imminent reversal of Roe v. Wade.

About halfway through the 98-page opinion, which was authored by conservative Justice Samuel Alito — and which Chief Justice John Roberts acknowledged on Tuesday as genuine — came a familiar argument: that "modern developments," including the availability of "safe-haven" laws, which allow parents to anonymously relinquish babies without legal repercussions, have rendered abortion unnecessary. The opinion noted that "a woman who puts her newborn up for adoption today has little reason to fear that the baby will not find a suitable home."...

The the demonstrating begin, it is as it should be.

San Francisco - Chanting for “legal abortion on demand,” (click here) thousands of people took to Bay Area streets Friday night to protest the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision overturning the landmark abortion rights case Roe v. Wade.

Across San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose, protesters decried an end to nearly fifty years of legal precedent that had allowed women to safely seek an abortion across the United States since 1973. In doing so, they joined abortion rights advocates across the nation in grieving the end of one era in American life, while vowing to win back those rights in the years to come.

As many as 3,000 people participated in a two-mile march across San Francisco on Friday evening, chanting “not the church, not the state — women will decide our fate,” while holding signs declaring “I dissent,” and “keep your rosaries off my ovaries.” At least two other protests against the Supreme Court’s decision also sprung up in the city — a show of solidary that stifled traffic as marchers crisscrossed downtown.

Honey Mahogany, a candidate for the San Francisco District 6 supervisor’s seat, vowed “we will not stand for it” before a crowd at the Phillips Burton Federal Building....

Flint - One of two consultants being sued in federal court (click here) for its role in the Flint water crisis says it’s committed to bringing former Gov. Rick Snyder to the stand as it rolls out its case to the jury.

Mike Brown, a spokesman for Veolia North America, made the comment in a statement to MLive-The Flint Journal, criticizing attorneys for four Flint children who are suing the company for failing to call Snyder as a witness before resting their case....

One way or another, (click here) Rick Snyder will answer questions under oath about his role in the Flint water crisis in a federal courtroom on June 30.

And if, as expected, the former governor invokes his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself, attorneys involved in the civil bellwether trial will turn to the next-best thing -- hours of previously unheard videotaped deposition testimony given by Snyder two years ago....

It is all about money.

Former vice president Mike Pence (click here) vowed Friday that “we must not rest” until abortion is outlawed in every state in the country, pushing for legislative action in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn nationwide protection for abortion rights.

“Now that Roe v. Wade has been consigned to the ash heap of history, a new arena in the cause of life has emerged, and it is incumbent on all who cherish the sanctity of life to resolve that we will take the defense of the unborn and the support for women in crisis pregnancy centers to every state in America,” Pence said in an interview with the far-right media outlet Breitbart News. “Having been given this second chance for Life, we must not rest and must not relent until the sanctity of life is restored to the center of American law in every state in the land.”...

They got what they wanted so what are they going to do for donations? I suppose the White Supremacists that aren't in jail is a possible reason for the Republican Party.

The Supreme Court is anti-woman and anti-childhood. Article below is available on J-Stor (click here).

These rights have far reaching consequences. Roe v. Wade was necessary for many reasons. 
















Adoption is big business.

January 1, 2003
By Marianna Bitler and Madeline Zavddny

CONTEXT: The legalization of abortion in the United States (click here) led to well-known changes in reproductive behavior, but its effect on adoptions has not been investigated.

METHODS: Variation across states in the timing and extent of abortion legalization is used to identify the effects of changes in the legal status of abortion on adoption rates from 1961 to 1975. These effects are estimated in regression analyses that control for states' economic, demographic and political characteristics, as well as for health care availability within states.

RESULTS: The rate of adoptions of children born to white women declined by 34-37% in states that repealed restrictive abortion laws before....

Thousands and thousands of dollars changes hands with adoption. With Foster Care Adoption option, the adoptee continues to receive the monthly stipends of the child(ren) along with their Medicaid and other special income for birthdays and Christmas, etc. The federal budget for these Foster Care Adoptions became more costly to the country today.

June 3, 2021
By Tik Root

...Movies may portray (click here) the typical adoption as a childless couple saving an unwanted baby from a crowded orphanage. But the reality is that, at any given time, an estimated 1 million U.S. families are looking to adopt—many of them seeking infants. That figure dramatically outpaces the number of available babies in the country. Some hopeful parents turn to international adoption, though in recent years other countries have curtailed the number of children they send abroad. There’s also the option to adopt from the U.S. foster-care system, but it’s an often slow-moving endeavor with a limited number of available infants. For those with means, there’s private domestic adoption....

Parents that improvec their quality of life and want to keep the child(ren) are intimidated by the Foster Care Conselers, especially in the Red States. The enormity of the adoption and Foster Care system is unbelievable even today, but, after today it will pull more and more of monies from the federal budget. 

As of today, women's status dropped to 2nd class citizen to be treated as chattle with considerable profit margins for the adoption industry.

Abortion and mental health (click here)

Women who are denied an abortion are more likely to initially experience higher levels of anxiety, lower life satisfaction, and lower self-esteem compared with women who received an abortion.

Unwanted pregnancy has been associated with deficits to the subsequent child’s cognitive, emotional, and social processes.

The number of unsafe abortions is likely to increase when policies limit access to reproductive health care.

There is a strong relationship between unwanted pregnancy and interpersonal violence.
Laws restricting access to safe, legal abortion are harmful to low-income women, women of color, and sexual and gender minorities, as well as those who live in rural or medically underserved areas.

A woman’s ability to control when and if she has a child is frequently linked to her socioeconomic standing and earning power.

The grief of natural mothers giving up their child(ren) are the same as death of their child.

SISTER IS A NUN.

Sister Mary Borromeo, R.S.M., B.A., Dip.Soc.Wk. (1968)

 “Adoption: From the Point of View of the Natural Parents” (click here)

Borromeo based this article on many years of work with unmarried mothers. Its purpose was to draw attention to the grief reaction which the natural mother experiences after the adoption of her child which both she and her family are ill prepared for.

She compares the separation of adoption to the separation of a child through death. The loss is as irrevocable in terms of relationship.

Borromeo notes that the surrendering mother knows that acceptance back into her family circle is dependent on her ability to “put it all behind her,” and so she is under double pressure to do this and suppress her grief. In cases where this is done it is not unusual to find a severe breakdown in self control occurring somewhere around the child’s first birthday.

Experiencing unwanted pregnancies appears to be strongly associated with poor mental health effects for women later in life....

Under Ronald Reagan due to Right Winged Extremists a study  was ordered of Dr. Koop. After 250 cases Dr. Koop stated there is dearly little information to draw any conclusion about mental health of women and abortion.

THERE IT IS. 

Women and childen aren't important enough to completely understand a woman's life and her decision based in socio-economic reasons to have an abortion. There is NOT a sincere study to understand the impacts of adoption on children into their adulthood. 

NO ONE CARES EXCEPT FOR THEIR POLITICAL DONATIONS.

Koop's exercise covered some 250 published research articles, (click here) most of them case studies, says study director George Walters. The results have been closely guarded, although Koop is expected to comply with an official request for them made by Representative Ted Weiss (D-NY), chairman of the subcommittee on human resources and intergovernmental relations of the Government Operations Committee.

Koop, in a 9 January letter to President Reagan, implied that his decision would come as a shock to those for whom it was a "foregone conclusion" that the negative health effects of abortion on women were...

Ending legal and safe abortion for women is a crime against the gender and their children. 

IT IS ALL ABOUT MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

February 11, 2022
By David Dodge

Each adoption process (click here) shares the same ultimate purpose: to unite children who need families with those that want children. Yet, despite this common goal, the price tag of adoption in the United States varies widely.

The cost depends on what path you choose: If adopting through the public foster care system, your total out-of-pocket expenses can be next to nothing. If you hope to adopt a newborn, however, the cost can reach $45,000 or sometimes higher if you’re adopting from outside the country....

Welfare

There will be more teen pregnancies that will seek welfare rights. The political activism today with the Supreme Court will cause very poor outcomes for women and girls. Count on spending more on programs that support the poor while the are cast out into homelessness.

Thomas has returned women to the status of chattel. When is he going to remove the woman’s vote?

The anti-abortion movement has not been a peaceful movement.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/11/29/us/30abortion-clinic-violence.html

I fully expect those that killed will look for pardons.

The Supreme Court majority are anarchists.

Gallup Poll (click here)

Abortion for women are supported by all American men except 14 percent and women 13 percent.

Women Pro Choice 61 percent

Women Anti-Abortion 33 percent

Politically Men divide nearly half about abortion despite their personal views.

Forced pregnancy (click here) has serious consequences, including:

▪️ Enduring serious health risks from carrying to term and giving birth ▪️ Making it harder to escape poverty ▪️ Derailing education, career and life plans ▪️ Making it more difficult to leave an abusive partner

There is no conscience in a decision that denies women their own health. It is time to return a Democratic super majority to the USA Senate and ensure the US House maintains it's Democratic majority.

It is hideous to realize politics put women into the danger zone. There is no conscience in the majority Supreme Court. They are anti-federalist as is The Federalist Society.

The Robert's Court is causing harm to the American people. Someone needs to invade Cloud City.

June 24, 2022
By Greg Hilburn

Abortion is illegal in Louisiana today (click here) after the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned its historic Roe v. Wade decision that guaranteed women the right to terminate their pregnancies for the past 50 years....

The votes for these Supreme Justices are definitely divided by political party, with the exception of Robert's confirmation as Chief Justice. There is no polar opposites when it comes to women's health issues. These Supreme Court jutices were confirmed by Republicans. Their decisions are political and not based in any health standard or science or social antropological standard.

 Did Trump pardon himself ?

The Select Committee investigating the January 6th insurrection

3:02 pm Convened

The DOJ is the focus. It is stated Donald John Trump misused the US DOJ. Mr. Rosen was to be replaced by an attoney that would work to overthrow the government through legal mechanisms available to him.

Trump was attempting to advance his personal political agenda.

3:06 PM Vice Chairwoman Cheney introduces the purpose of the committee's work stating Donald John Trump used his office to corrupt the election of 2020 and used the hope of his followers, albeit violence and deadly, to raise illegitimate monies for his personal goals.

All these illegitimate claims and actions were overseen by Donald John Trump.

Mr. Jeff Clark letter to the Georgia State Legislator and other versions of the letter was sent to other states. Jeff Clark agreed to assist Donald John Trump in his illegitimate ambitions.

The DOJ investigations already had informed Donald John Trump of the lack of evidence of any of the claims to remove the outcomes of the presidential election of 2020.

John Eastman and Rudy Guilliani were both involved in the plans to overthrow the 2020 outcome of the elections. They and Jeff Clark were moving to carry out false movements to overturn the elections of 2020.

Why did Barr authorize the investigation of the elections and the allogations being made by Trump? Barr states it was the prudent thing to do so he could personally validate the outcome and protecting the elections 2020.

Presidential pardons were sought after the false claims being made to overthrow the elections.

3:14 pm Adam Kinzinger (click here)

He states there are times a person is faced with the risk of losing a job or an elected office to do the right thing and protect the USA Constitution. He states there were people in the DOJ that did exactly that. The department was to sew dought into the election outcomes. It was to justify The Big Lie. The election was to be described as corrupt. 

Donald John Trump turned to a third attorney general in three weeks in order to carry out the fraud, insurrection and sedition. The previous attornies asked to become AG declined to carry out false assertions about the vote outcome in the USA in 2020.

One attorney found one lawyer to overturn the election Jeff Clark. Violation rule 68. Clark had no qualifications that meet the requirements of the AG. Jeff Clark only had to carry out the sedition and for that Trump believed he was capable.

Jeffery Clark was to replace Jeff Rosen. Clark stated he could carry out exposure of wide spread fraud. Clark had the wisdom and will to carry out the deception. Clark not competent to be AG because he never had criminal experience. Pat Cipollone letter is a murder-suicide pac and we should not have anything to do with it.

Richard Donaghue was involved in stating the reality of the moment, but, to Trump it was irrelevant to what needed to be done in Trump's opinion.

3:25 pm Rep. Kinzinger calls upon other Republicans to understand the brevity of the information and this moment in time.

3:26 pm Chairman Thompson introduces today's witnesses.

Jeff Rosen, Richard Donaghue, and Steven Engle. Witnesses sworn in to tell the truth.

Rosen: Was in contact with him everyday sometimes twice a day from December 23rd to January 3rd.

Interruption at this end.

The DOJ would file an objection to the elections in the Supreme Court. Georgia nad other states were to receive a letter. The focus was dissatisfaction with the investigation of the election of 2020.

Donaghue states most of the conversation with Donald John Trump was about Allied Security Group in Michigan. December 15th report stating the election was defective. The report was to be investigated. Antrim County, Michigan.

Steven Engle states he had no reason to question AG Barr's resolution regarding the election of 2020. 

FOX News was looking for information form the DOJ to validate Trump's allogations

Gohmert states there was wide spread evidence of fraud because the DOJ is not doing their job.

Andy Biggs 

Matt Goetz

Jim Jordan 

Mo Brooks

They all carried The Big Lie as the truth and to inspire unrest and violence with their constituents and the mob in Washington, DC on January 6th.

DOJ today and in the time of the insurrection stated clearly to Donald John Trump the allogations were not true. The political machine which included FOX News continued to push The Big Lie.

Antrim County security operations group was saying a 65 percent error rate and the hand recount found one error. 0.0063 percent error rate.

The tractor trailer investigation from New York to Pennsylvania full of ballots was not true. Most of the allogations were in swing states.

State Farm Arena was fraud staring them right in the face. Not true.

Personal notes were necessary to get all the details stated by Trump, 205k votes in Pennsylvania were not counted. States DOJ has a specific roll in these elections but the states were to be responsible for their accurate elections. 

"The American People" do not constitute a client of the USA DOJ. That understanding was validated by other lawyers.

Still notes "...just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to us (the Republican congressmen)..."

Isolation incidents of fraud that would never rise to change the Electoral count in any state.

Jeffery Rosen was called on Christmas Eve with Donal John Trump that election fraud again. Pecular reference about "...knowing Jeff Clark..." Rosen was unaware that Trump knew Clark.

Jeff Clark and his division was never involved in investigating election fraud.

Taylor Green is another fraudster. Why aren't these Congressional members up on ethical investigations and more? There ya go, Trump looking to the Congressmen and women to defraud the election as well as calling up on the DOJ.

Rep. Scott Perry solicited Jeff Clark to carry out the sedition. Perry introduced Clark to Trump. Giuliani advocated the replacement of the AG with someone who was not frightened to what would happen to his/her reputation. Guiliani was at the center of the sedition along with Trump.

Rosen states Clark had gone to a me

h Trump and it was unplanned and organized by Perry. Clark never told Rosen after the fact that the meeting occurred. There is a policy of whom can have contact with the White House. Really? Does Virginia Thomas know that?

The DOJ AG and Assistant AG can authorize others to contact the White House. 

The White House/President has an attorney that carries out assessment of activities for constitutional/legal/ethical content. Meetings not authorized is not to occur at the White House.

Meadows is told by Perry that Clark is to be elevated in his importance in regard to January 6th. Meadows stated Clark needs an Assistant and not Deputy status in order to carry out actions otherwise not recognized by the FBI.

Man, oh, man. These guys scoured the entire system to find where the assault against the USA Constitution through a coup could occur. Giuliani is scum.

The USA Attorney for Pennsylvania stated any difference between the actual vote count and that reported on a computer site was due to lack of updating the computer site. There was no basis for any concern of fraud. 

4:00 pm Donoghue email and an attached letter. He read it and wrote a response promptly rejecting any request to tell states how to choose their electors. Mr. Donoghue seems upset by the email and letter now, he was probably more upset at the first reading as he paused to understand the true content of the letter. This letter and email was the actions of Jeff Clark. There was a contentious meeting to tell Clark it was highly inapproprate to carry out such actions. Clark started to conduct his own investigations regardless of the opposition to the scheme. There was no basis for his concern according to Donoghue. There was no foreign interference but Clark continued to push the idea of corruption. A series of conversations of that week became very confrontation. It seems to me Donoghue was attempting to mimize the brevithy of Clark's action in order to stop further criminal actions. In other words, this infraction is not as serious as one might think if you stop now although it was not the direct words of Mr. Donoghue.

4:07 pm Clark states executive priviledge upon meeting with the January 6th committee.

4:08 pm Recess for 10 minutes

There is a core set people that created the insurrection and subsequent sedition. Giuliani and Donald John Trump were the two leading the planning.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — John Eastman, (click here) a Trump acolyte who advocated overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election, is no longer a member of the American Political Science Association, a representative of the organization said Thursday.

“I can confirm that John Eastman is not an APSA member at this time,” Dan Gibson, an APSA spokesperson, said in an e-mail to CBS 42.

The organization has not responded to questions related to when Eastman’s membership ended and why. A copy of the lawyer’s curriculum vitae posted by Congress shows that Eastman claimed membership in APSA, the largest professional organization of political scientists, from 2001 until at least 2019....

Trump's minions are finding disdain in the real world.

New York - Donald Trump (click here) is likely no longer in contempt of court for failing to comply with a subpoena in a New York civil probe into the former U.S. president's business practices, the office of state Attorney General Letitia James said on Tuesday.

In a letter filed with a New York state court in Manhattan, a lawyer for James said affidavits filed by employees of Trump businesses appeared sufficient to lift an April 25 contempt order, which led to Trump paying a $110,000 fine.

"Respondent's counsel must rely upon current employees to provide the required information," the letter said. "[We] are prepared to agree that the affidavits satisfy the court's order because it is not apparent what else, if anything, the respondent and his counsel can be ordered to do."

Alina Habba, a lawyer for Trump, did not immediately respond to a request for comment....

...As Rosen and Donoghue listened, (click here) Clark told Trump that he would send the letter if the president named him attorney general....

4:21 pm Committee reconvened

Mr. Kinzinger asks Steven Engle about his work relationship with the president. He stated the DOJ had no basis to file a lawsuit to declare the election corrupt. The electors were already chosen and there was no basis for the lawsuit. The draft lawsuit was drafted outside that of the DOJ. That was not the practice of the DOJ

Special Council was proposed by Trump in December 2021. Could the AG chose a state prosecutor to investigate elections. The option was not available to carry out a Special Council. The outside council would only be necessary if there was conflict of interest of the DOJ. Barr in his assessment the need for a special council was not needed. Any concerns have been handled by the DOJ to his satisfaction.

4:30pm

Mr. Donoghue stated there was authority through DHS to investigate and seize voting machines. Donald John Trump stated Cuccinelli (click here) was not doing his job and should be seizing voting machines. Here again Trump is the instigator as soon as he learns about the structure of the government.

Mark Meadows emails raised concerns about state votes. The emails came from political parties and that was not the role of the lawyers within the White House practice. Another stated an Italian company conducted internet conspiracy to change votes from Trump to Biden.

Washington – The Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), (click here) including the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), released today key findings and recommendations from a joint report to the President issued last month on the impact of foreign governments and their agents on the security and integrity of the 2020 U.S. federal elections. 

The Departments investigated multiple public claims that one or more foreign governments owned, directed or controlled election infrastructure used in the 2020 federal elections; implemented a scheme to manipulate election infrastructure; or tallied, changed or otherwise manipulated vote counts. The Departments found that those claims were not credible.

These conclusions are part of a classified report to the President prepared by DOJ and DHS pursuant to section 1(b) of Executive Order 13848, Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Influence in a United States Election (the EO), issued on Sept. 12, 2018. Although the 1(b) report notes that Russian, Chinese, and Iranian government-affiliated actors materially impacted the security of certain networks during the 2020 federal elections, the Departments found no evidence that any foreign government-affiliated actor manipulated election results or otherwise compromised the integrity of the 2020 federal elections....

Johnson is working with Giuliani. Private meetings were requested by Giuliani of Mr. Donoghe. Mr. Donoghue was not interested in Giuliani's slight of hand.

Trump/Giuliani continued to pass on the lies to Christopher Miller regarding the Italian theory.

...On Nov. 9, 2020, (click here) Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper and installed a more compliant Christopher Miller. On Jan. 4, 2021, Miller issued a memo requiring his approval to deploy the National Guard in Washington, D.C. On Jan. 6, Defense Department leadership delayed the National Guard’s response to the Capitol siege by three hours....

Same Christopher Miller? He received information about the Italy nonsense and then went on to be Defense Secretary or Acting?

Jeff Rosen drew on multiple attornys to discuss the events surrounding his dismissal. January 2nd meeting with Mr. Clark was to sign letter to Georgia. Mr. Donoghue and Mr. Rosen were not going to sign any letter declaring fraud of any kind. The Trump Administration was only in power for less than three weeks.

Mr. Engle was informed about the change of personnel at this late state of the administration. Assistant Attorney Generals were to have telephone meeting to inform them of current activity to replace persons currently accountable for the government.

It was a circus while Trump pulled power moves and Giuliani continued the corruption.

All the allogations still were floated by Clark and the final conversation was about removing Jeffery Rosen.

Clark was determined to carry out the responsibilities Trump was demanding as AG. Rosen stated the issue wasn't about him but it was the use of the Justice Department. The Department had to remain within the facts, etc. He believed the fundatmental institutions of the DOJ would be damaged. 

Trump, "What do I have to lose?" Trump was told the other lawyers would resign. Every AAG would leave. It was concerning as to know what the US Attorneys would resign. Trump was told hundreds resignations would be the result of Clark being put in at AG. 

Steve Engle states Clark would be disasterous. "Jeff Clark would be leading a graveyard." Clark would ultimately been reviewed by judges and possibly the Supreme Court. It would be disasterous for Trump. I can't imagine any USA judge being willing to carry out the idea of ending electorate votes on Januayr 6th. It was already done. The election was over. Trump and Giuliani just could not handle the idea of trashing their dreams as being a Russian satellite.

Trump and Giuliani had been conducting fraud for a long time while having power in the White House. They weren't finished yet.

Lev Parnas (left) (click here) arrives with Rudy Giuliani, President Trump's personal lawyer, before a funeral service for former President George H.W. Bush on Dec. 5, 2018. Parnas and Igor Fruman, Soviet-born associates of Giuliani, are accused by U.S. prosecutors of skirting campaign contribution limits as part of a plot to oust the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine.

Both Trump and Giuliani were well invested in their plot of sedition. They were determined to see it to the end. Trump should have been impeached. What was wrong with the idea of President Pence? The Republicans were cowering in the corner of their political aspirations for no reason at all. There were enormous number of reasons to remove Trump.

FOX News is just as toxic to Republicans as it is to the country. The paradigm of lies at FOX News is not entertainment it is sabotage of decency while attacking the USA Constitution. Turning lies into fact is an assault against our democracy and corrupt and brainwashes Republicans they have to cower to the FOX News power or lose their seats of power. Murdoch is a problem. 

5:18 pm

Mr. Kinzinger gives closing remarks. He focuses on the function of the DOJ and the importance of its integrity. Trump, "Just state the election was corrupt and leave the rest to us." Trump and Giuliani regarded the DOJ as a method to an end and not the backbone of the Rule of Law of the USA. Trump disregarded his oath the day he took it.

Mr. Kinzinger called on patriotism of the citizen to understand the brevity of this moment in history.

Vice Chairwoman Cheney brings the focus to where the authority of the government lies and that is elections. She brings the clarity to the hearings and committee's work that involved Republicans of any degree of conservativism to bring the truth forward. 

Chairman Thompson brings the facts to this moment while at the time of the insurrection Trump had nothing but fabrications with the brevity of power. Trump looked far and wide for those that would bring his lies forward to be the truth of the 2020 election.

Chairman Thompson brings focus to Vice President Pence as the last place Trump's lies played out and the strength of character needed to protect this country's US Constitution.

Chairman Thompson states the hearings are to bring clarity to the American people.
