Cheese and crackers, here we go AGAIN.

Have we learned nothing, America? It stuns me that I even have to say this, but Democrats sandbag their political opponents with phony investigations and allegations of impropriety made by flaky women. These tactics range up to and include prosecution and even conviction by politicized juries in dark blue cities. But even when they top out at innuendo and dropped investigations, the damage has been done. The media mill has its grist, and the narrative follows the target around forever, similar to the stench that seems impossible to wash off a pet that's been sprayed by a skunk.

Sure, Matt Gaetz looks like he might be a tad sleazy, And yes, it sounds like he has partied hard at times. None of this is illegal.

(You know what is illegal? Abuse of office and prosecutorial misconduct. Keep your eye on the ball, people.)

President-elect Donald Trump (nope, still not tired of typing those words) has come up with a clever way to put people who mean business in positions where they can reform the rotten, corrupt, politicized federal government machinery. I explained yesterday:

Trump has come up with an ingenious way to squish-proof top officials in his incoming administration: He's placing people in charge of agencies and departments who were personally targeted by those agencies and departments. These people have beef, and they're coming to DC to settle it. It's kind of brilliant when you think about it.

“Fox News reported:

“I think out of deference to us, he issued his resignation letter effective immediately,” [Speaker Mike] Johnson said. “That caught us by surprise a little bit. But I asked him what the reasoning was, and he said, well, you can’t have too many absences.”

The speaker pointed out that Florida state law gave the governor “about an eight-week period” to fill a House vacancy and that by doing so, “we may be able to fill that seat as early as Jan. 3.” (Author’s note: Jan. 3 is when the new session of Congression convenes.)

Johnson said he’s already in contact with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on the matter.”
