Comer said on Fox this morning that his call with Wray is around 1:30pm ET.

The FBI says they will cooperate with the Oversight Committee, but state they fear that turning over the documents “could potentially jeopardize investigations and put lives at risk.”

Interesting.

Also of note, Kevin McCarthy called Comer this morning to get a status update.

Chick-FIL-A quite literally MUST comply bc DEI is now REGULATED BY THE FEDS. Which means ANY company that doesn’t meet a certain “score quota” will be put on probation & fined until bankrupt. It could shut down EVERY SINGLE BUSINESS NATIONWIDE WITH CONSERVATIVE VALUES.

My husband is facing the same issue right now in regards to hiring. He’s busting his ass, but CANNOT EVEN get people with the diversity requirements to apply for the jobs?!

Personally, I have great respect for ChickFilA. They were taking a stand against “woke culture” & staying true to their Christian values long before anyone else.
🔸Closed on Sunday’s.
🔸Donating to organizations that
support traditional marriage
between a man & a woman. 
🔸Supports anti-LGBTQ marriage
organizations globally & the
Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

This Chick-Fil-A narrative is drawing attention to a much larger problem that DEI is creating for Corporate America.
It’s NOT good— & REPUBLICANS need to put an end to it IMMEDIATELY.

DEI is just an expansion and rebranding of Affirmative Action. This is an old fight, but an important one for sure.

Rep Chris Stewart (R) has resigned his office, citing concerns for his wife's health.

He was expected to run for Romney's Senate seat in the near future.

He will leave office following an "orderly transition".

McCarthy has a 4 vote margin in the House. With Stewart leaving and Santos likely to be expelled sooner rather than later, that margin is gonna shrink.

'Fugitive Malaysian financier Jho Low, wanted for his key role in the multibillion-dollar 1MDB scandal, is believed to be hiding in Macau, Malaysia's anti-graft agency said on Tuesday, confirming an earlier report by Al Jazeera.

Al Jazeera had cited a written response from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to its queries on Low's whereabouts.

"This was also confirmed by several individuals who have seen Jho Low in Macau," Al Jazeera quoted the MACC as saying.'

'Low, whose full name is Low Taek Jho, has been charged in Malaysia and the United States for allegedly masterminding the theft of $4.5 billion from state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).'

"We view this race as absolutely wide open, and Iowa is really going to solidify itself as the pivotal player," the person familiar with Pence's plans said. "It's a place that values Mike Pence's principles — traditional conservative principles — deep-rooted faith and uncommon character."

The former vice president will campaign in all 99 Iowa counties before the caucuses, the person said, adding that the campaign "will do the things that put Mike Pence in an advantageous position."

🚨 BREAKING 🚨

FBI Director Wray has confirmed the existence of the FD-1023 form alleging then-Vice President Biden engaged in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national.

He’s allowing this unclassified record to be reviewed at the FBI but hasn’t produced it to committee.

If the FBI fails to hand over the FD-1023 form as required by the subpoena, @RepJamesComer will begin contempt of Congress proceedings

“Federal prosecutors have obtained an audio recording of a summer 2021 meeting in which former President Donald Trump acknowledges he held onto a classified Pentagon document about a potential attack on Iran, multiple sources told CNN, undercutting his argument that he declassified everything.

The recording indicates Trump understood he retained classified material after leaving the White House, according to multiple sources familiar with the investigation. On the recording, Trump’s comments suggest he would like to share the information but he’s aware of limitations on his ability post-presidency to declassify records, two of the sources said.

CNN has not listened to the recording, but multiple sources described it. One source said the relevant portion on the Iran document is about two minutes long, and another source said the discussion is a small part of a much longer meeting.“

People will fight to hold on to their beliefs, and what they think they know, even when they are confronted with information indicating that said beliefs and/or knowledge may be falsely premised.

I think about this often and keep coming back around to this this article from April 2021.

On the subject of persuasion, beliefs, social dynamics… it’s one of the most illuminating I have ever read.

The ‘peripheral route’ people are nearly unreachable and largely tuned out. They are the headline readers, low effort news consumers.

The ‘central route’ people are active and make an effort to learn and figure things out.

The former group is far more likely to fall for fake news, manipulation, etc.

The latter group is less likely, because they actively consider the information and then decide what it means.

“If we come to believe something through careful and thoughtful consideration, that belief is more resilient to change.”
