   PaulE 130pm – There is nothing “new” about the incumbent administration staying in office until Congress resolves the result of the past election. And there should have been no concern with delaying the transfer of power were Congress to eventually certify the Nov 2020 election. Now we know that the country would have benefited significantly by delaying the onset of the destructive policies of Bumblebrain and his battalion of double dummies.
   ScottO 311pm – And Paul was already given the answer in my 1135am. Apparently more repetitions are needed.

   I thought Liz Cheney was a conservative. Heritage action gives her a score of 87% Jim Jordon was turned down because he was a likely witness. He was, as a matter of fact, asked to testify but he refused.

   Paul 4:40 – You’re pissing all over your own shorts again, dude. It is a fact that Pelosi broke with the rules and openly refused to let the minority leader nominate his choices to the panel. It’s never happened before. Pelosi threw Jordan off after she saw he was going to actually investigate instead of cover up.
   Liz Cheney hates Trumps guts and is as ‘conservative’ as David Brooks. Saying that Jordon couldn’t be on the panel because he would have to testify is ridiculous. Funny how they didn’t seem to care that he wouldn’t testify. That was a sop for morons like you.

   So you are claiming Liz Cheney is not a Conservative Scott. If that’s true why did she receive an 87% rating from Heritage Action.
   Also her opposition for the Republican nomination in 2022, Harriet Hageman, endorsed her 2016 campaign and wrote this:
   “I know that Liz Cheney is a proven, courageous, constitutional conservative, someone who has the education, the background and experience to fight effectively for Wyoming on a national stage. There have been and will continue to be concerted efforts to force true conservatives to sit down and shut up. Those efforts have never worked on me and I know that they will not work on and have no effect on Liz Cheney.”

   Paul – you’ve gone from declaring Trump the leader and instigator of an insurrection to quibbling over whether or not Liz Cheney is a conservative.
   I’ll give you credit for having the energy to haul the goal post all over the field and out into the parking lot but it still boils down to you being a useful tool for the Dems with their cover up of what happened on Jan 6th.
   What kind of ‘investigation’ starts off with their ‘finding’ at the start? What kind of investigation severely limits what evidence is allowed?
   You refuse to answer my pertinent questions because they expose you as nothing more than a know-nothing tool of the Dems.
   The mid terms are coming and the American voter is pissed to the teeth with the Dems and their so-called ‘leadership’. Running up energy costs was the idiot move of the century. These ‘hearings’ about a protest that some of the participants turned into a violent riot are ancient history. There was no insurrection or any serious threat to any govt official beyond the police who were not given adequate warning or resources by the the Dem leadership for obvious reasons. The more you want to have people look into this the worse you and the Dems look.

The 1824 election could not have been subject to congressional certification, presided over by the sitting VP, since it didn’t satisfy the constitutional requirement of electoral majority (Jackson only obtained electoral plurality), and therefore the election’s result had to be resolved in the House by putting the presidential candidates up to a vote by the representatives. There was no opportunity for the VP to rule against certification as there was on 6 January 2021.

However, your two-step process still would have differed from the one that actually happened pursuant to the 1824 election. Perhaps, we’ll get to relive the whole thing in 2025. In any event, the Left’s assertion that the only legal outcome of the 6jun21 conclave was certification of the electoral votes as presented is utter bullshit. Trump was/is right that Pence didn’t have to accept the presented electoral votes. But that assertion is independent of whether the subsequent sequence of events would have changed the election’s outcome as accepted that January by most powers that be.

However, that woman has delivered on several fronts to get Biden elected and constitutionally guaranteed – female, colored, immigrant mother, and profoundly stupid (all her career promotions have been race-based), not credible (to even Democrats) presidential material.

    On June 8 the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) passed a resolution calling on Iran to explain traces of uranium that it found at three undisclosed sites of nuclear activity. Hours before the IAEA vote, Iran disconnected security cameras from one of its declared nuclear sites. Then Iran began taking down IAEA cameras throughout its territory. The world’s nuclear watchdog is flying blind. “When we lose this,” IAEA director Rafael Mariano Grossi told reporters, “then it’s anybody’s guess” what Iran is doing.

    Here’s some observations on Tuesdays election.
    I award to Calvin Clark the Lose like Trump Award for the most pathetic election effort. He lost to Sue Hoek in the conservative District 4 Supervisor race by a historic, in recent times margin with his opponent winning 84% of the vote and Clark with a pathetic 15.68% of votes counted so far. . Not only that his so called Supes recall effort failed to even qualify. And if that’s not enough his attempts to support Jason Tedder for Clerk Recorder showed Tedder losing to current Assistant Clerk-Recorder Natalie Adona by a huge margin-69 to 22% as of yesterdays vote counts.
    That’s a legacy as a loser that will be tough to beat in the future.

    Here is the link to a pre-print paper (4/19/22, non-peer reviewed yet) that seeks to answer your question.
    https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.04.18.22271936v1#:
    If you naturally acquire the Wuhan virus, your immune system makes anti-bodies to the ENTIRE virus – the main body (nucleocapsid) + the spike proteins attached to the main body. When you get the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines, your immune system makes anti-bodies only to the spike protein, not the entire virus body, because that was how the vaccine was designed.
    So it seems that we smart humans figured that the stupid virus ONLY infects through its spiky-proteins on the virus surface. Reality many times differs from theory. At least until we work on the theory part for a couple decades.
    To re-cap – it seems that throughout human history until 2 years ago, when you got infected by a bug, your immune system tried to make anti-bodies to the entire bug. If your body made enough of the right kind of anti-bodies, then you lived another day. If your immune system was deficient for any reason, you probably died. Be patient, we just started this voluntary vaccination process to fight this new germ (aren’t they all?). What could go wrong?
    Wait – did I say voluntary? Hah – got you again.
    Anyway, after several lawsuits against Moderna & the Feds (say 10 years from now), … the liberal SCOTUS will decide (by a 10-3 vote) that we all have a constitutional right to be told to take whatever medicine (medical, legal, economic, religious, political) the Feds tell us to.
