PS: I got a little heated in this episode, just a heads-up. -Todd
THE THESIS: The Party is aligned on keeping power. While a new breed of politicians--Constitutional Populists, I call them--are winning important victories, Pharma Mitch McConnell and Liz Cheney’s dear friend, Kevin McCarthy, are busily stabbing them in the back.
THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:
14 They dress the wound of my people
as though it were not serious.
‘Peace, peace,’ they say,
when there is no peace.
15 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
No, they have no shame at all;
they do not even know how to blush.
So they will fall among the fallen;
they will be brought down when I punish them,”
says the Lord.
THE NEWS & COMMENT:

Attitudes on abortions have changed as people have grown to understand the reality of the procedure.
HAPPY: 38% (+18)
ANGRY: 20%
But, do we see Mitch and Kevin getting in front of this battle? No. As always, the leftist portion of The Party is taking it head on. The most corrupt AG in history, Eric Holder is on it:

Do we see Mitch and Kevin demanding their dear friend, Chuck Schumer disavow the mobs outside the homes of Supreme Court Justices?
[AUDIO] - Chuck Schumer, threatening Supreme Court justices at an abortion rally in 2020: "I want to tell you Gorsuch. I want to tell you Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."
Nonprofit Watchdog Uncovers $350 Million in Secret Payments to Fauci, Collins, Others at NIH
An estimated $350 million in undisclosed royalties were paid to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and hundreds of its scientists, including the agency’s recently departed director, Dr. Francis Collins, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, according to a nonprofit government watchdog.
“We estimate that up to $350 million in royalties from third parties were paid to NIH scientists during the fiscal years between 2010 and 2020,” Open the Books CEO Adam Andrzejewski told reporters in a telephone news conference on May 9.
“We draw that conclusion because, in the first five years, there has been $134 million that we have been able to quantify of top-line numbers that flowed from third-party payers, meaning pharmaceutical companies or other payers, to NIH scientists.”
The first five years, from 2010 to 2014, constitute 40 percent of the total, he said.
“We now know that there are 1,675 scientists that received payments during that period, at least one payment. In fiscal year 2014, for instance, $36 million was paid out and that is on average $21,100 per scientist,” Andrzejewski said.
“We also find that during this period, leadership at NIH was involved in receiving third-party payments. For instance, Francis Collins, the immediate past director of NIH, received 14 payments. Dr. Anthony Fauci received 23 payments and his deputy, Clifford Lane, received eight payments.”
Hey, Mitch and Kevin: sit down and listen for a change
