Pray for Matador
Our prayers today for the people of Matador, Texas. The small West Texas town about 60 miles east/northeast of Lubbock was devastated by an unprecedented and massive wedge tornado that demolished homes and businesses and left at least four people dead and 10 injured. I’m sure Samaritan’s Purse will be there as soon as possible with aid, and you can help them at:

Adam Schiff is censured
Wednesday, Adam Schiff became only the third House member to be censured in this century when the House voted in favor by 213-209 on a party line vote except for six Republicans who voted “present.” The vote was for his repeated slanderous lies, false claims that undermined the Trump Administration and faith in the government, fabricating evidence, leaking, and doxing his colleagues. This came after a previous motion was defeated that would have also fined Schiff $16 million, half the cost of the pointless Mueller investigation of the Russian collusion hoax that he relentlessly flogged.

While this will not result in the expulsion from Congress that he richly deserves, it will go into the permanent Congressional record, just like all the lies he’s spewed, and he will be recommended to the House Ethics Committee for investigation (I assume it will take a lot of searching for them to find any ethics on him to investigate.)
After the vote, the Democrats (who all voted to exonerate Schiff) held up business for about five minutes while they had a public tantrum at the unheard-of idea of a Democrat actually being held accountable for his rotten behavior. They stood around chanting “Shame! Shame!’ and “Disgrace!” which they should have been chanting at Adam Schiff.
I’m so old that I can remember when Democrats actually thought it was a bad thing to wave around a blank piece of paper in Congress and claim it was evidence that people in the government were Russian spies. Hollywood used to make movies about how bad that was, and now they keep reelecting a guy that does it. Well, at least they did Americans the favor of showing us exactly what they are, and where they come down in any battle between “truth and decency” and “party loyalty.” As the old saying goes, when someone tells you what they are, believe them.
As for Schiff, he reacted exactly as you’d expect: shamelessly. Channeling a hammy villain in an old B-movie, he intoned, "To my Republican colleagues who introduced this resolution, I thank you. You honor me with your enmity, you flatter me with this falsehood. You, who are the authors of a big lie about the last election, must condemn the truth tellers. And I stand proudly before you. Your words tell me that I have been effective in the defense of our democracy, and I am grateful."
As infuriating as that landfill gas is to listen to, I have to say that it couldn’t be a more perfect statement to sum up what Adam Schiff is all about. He actually lied about being a truth-teller. It was breathtakingly self-aggrandizing, stunningly conceited and jaw-droppingly dishonest. It was like voting Pavarotti as the greatest tenor in the world, and then having him stand up and sing an aria just to prove how much he deserves the title.
A side note to whoever wrote the headline on this story for Fox News: “Adam Schiff censured by House for 'false' allegations on Trump-Russia collusion.” You didn’t need to put quotation marks around the word “false.”
Hunter Biden’s deal
The sweetheart plea deal for Hunter Biden isn’t a done deal yet. While Biden’s DOJ wants to let him off with a massage on the wrist, it’s up to a Trump-appointed judge to decide whether that’s acceptable. So keep your fingers crossed that a little justice might actually intrude into this charade.

In the meantime, the attorney for yet another black celebrity, music star Ja Rule, is speaking out about the glaring disparity between Hunter Biden’s “punishment” and what his client got for basically the same crime (28 months for illegally having a weapon in his car and two years for failing to pay income taxes, which he blamed on incompetent financial managers.)
“Never Mind!”
Remember the Oak Fire, the wildfire that destroyed 127 homes and 19,000 acres near Yosemite National Park, California, last year? The one Democrats blamed on “climate change?” Well, meet Mr. Climate Change, aka, Edward Fredrick Wackerman of Mariposa.
Wackerman is facing several felony charges, including aggravated arson, for allegedly starting that fire. He’s a 71-year-old ex-firefighter and Democrat donor who gave $1,000 to Tim Ryan’s failed Senate campaign and $400 to the Lincoln Project, a disgraced anti-Trump PAC.
Imagine how much more pleasant life in California would be if Democrats would stop setting wildfires and blaming climate change, stop shooting people and blaming the gun, and stop inviting in illegal aliens and blaming the Governor of Texas when they actually show up.
