She is required by federal law to be chair of the National Space Council, same as Pence was. It is a law passed back in 89 that the VP must chair the NSC.

The point is that she was Xiden's designated border 'issue' head. Much more of an issue at the moment than anything going on in the space world. SpacEx has a handle on it I think, and the last thing they need is the government getting involved anyway. But the point is that the border is Xiden's disaster and his head mfwic hasn't even been there. Leadership?

N.J., DEMPCRAT, REP. DONALD PAYNE JR.GUT-BUSTER ON ZOOM
Caught in PJs, Shows Belly

Congressman Donald Payne Jr. is reporting for duty ... he's just not bothering to get dressed for it.

The U.S. Representative from New Jersey got caught in an embarrassing situation Thursday during a Zoom call with colleagues, as he apparently forgot to turn off his camera as he rolled out of bed in his pajamas for the meeting.

So, instead of seeing a sharp-dressed politician, the legislators on the call who were listening to Rep. Yvette Clarke speak also got an eyeful of Payne's slightly-too-small Captain America t-shirt, his exposed belly ... and what looked like blue striped boxers.

Who hasn't, mine's a superman shirt... I could make a fortune if I created an app that automatically disabled video cameras every 60 seconds so that all these wardrobe malfunctions weren't captured... wait I could double my profits if I marketed it to businesses as a way to keep track of employee participation.

Trump returns to the campaign trail holding his first 'revenge' rally Saturday night in Ohio to back House candidate who's trying to unseat GOP congressman who voted for impeachment

Former President Donald Trump will hold his first 'revenge' rally Saturday night outside of Cleveland, Ohio - hitting the campaign trail for the first time since leaving the White House.

Trump is stumping for his former aide Max Miller, who is running to unseat Republican Rep. Anthony Gonzalez in Ohio's 16th Congressional district.

Gonzalez was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach the ex-president for inciting the January 6 insurrection on Capitol Hill.

'We're giving tremendous endorsements,' Trump told Newsmax on Friday. 'Fake Repubilcans, anybody that voted for the impeachment doesn't get it,' he said.

'But there weren't too many of them. And I think most of them are being, if not all, are being primaried right now, so that's good. I'll be helping their opponent.'

Of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump a second time, only New York Rep. John Katko hasn't attracted a MAGA opponent.

Can't wait to see how he makes it about him, and "Oh, by the way, vote for this guy because of me."

So here is how this is going to play out... these guys are going to fold when the time comes for mandatory jabs. And they are going to remove any assurances you may have had that the legislatures or the governors are going to offer cover for you.

Nina Turner, Sanders ally, Concedes Defeat in Ohio US House Race

In a separate primary, Trump-Backed Republican Mike Carey Emerged Victorious in a crowded field

Nina Turner, a former Ohio state lawmaker who co-chaired the 2020 presidential run of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, has lost her bid for the Democratic nomination for a U.S. House seat.

In Tuesday’s special election in the state’s 11th Congressional District, Cuyahoga County Councilwoman Shontel Brown was the top vote-getter in the Democratic primary, according to The Associated Press.

Brown had support from more than 50% of voters while Turner drew backing from about 44% and Jeff Johnson just 1.8 percent, according to The New York Times.

Trump-Backed Political Newcomer Wins crowded GOP Primary in Ohio House race as Former President Demonstrates his Ongoing Influence in the Party

A political newcomer backed by Donald Trump won a crowded Republican primary contest in an Ohio House special election Tuesday night, showing the former president's influence on his party.

Coal lobbyist Mike Carey, who never held political office before, beat out 11 other Republicans for the nomination in Ohio's 15th Congressional district, to replace former Rep. Steve Stivers. Many of his competitors also had the backing of big-name Republicans.

The Associated Press called the race for Carey, who will compete against Democrat Allison Russo in the November general election. Carey is favored to win the GOP-leaning district.

'Great Republican win for Mike Carey. Big numbers! Thank you to Ohio and all of our wonderful American patriots. Congratulations to Mike and his family. He will never let you down!,' Trump said in a statement after the race was called.

Carey was a little known contender until he earned Trump's endorsement - a sign of the former president's influence on the Republican voters who decide the party's nominee. Carey is a close friend of Corey Lewandowski, Trump's former campaign manager.

Ron Kind Won't Seek Reelection in 2022, Harming Democrats' Chances of Holding the House

Ron Kind, a longtime Democratic representative for Wisconsin, announced Tuesday that he will not run for reelection in 2022.

The 58-year-old Wisconsin congressman has represented the state’s sprawling rural and suburban district on the southwestern corner of the state for nearly a quarter-century, first taking office in 1997. He is a senior member of the Ways and Means Committee.

But Kind faced a tough reelection race in 2020, winning reelection by just 2.6%. House Republicans need to win about five seats to claim the majority, and the district Kind is vacating figures to be a top target — even if it's redrawn somewhat in the redistricting process.

Kind is one of the few Democratic members of Congress to represent a House district where most voters chose former President Donald Trump in 2020, with 51.5% voting for Trump and 46.8% for now-President Joe Biden, according to Daily Kos Elections.

That made him a top target for Republicans. Derrick Van Orden, Kind's Republican 2020 opponent, has already announced a 2022 bid. The National Republican Congressional Committee has already run targeted ads against Kind in this cycle.

He is out of touch and he knews it. He also probably can't identify with this group of socialists in the democrat party so it's better just get out the way. A true man of honor. It's a respectable quality.

Unfortunately I'm not sure how far in the hole the country will be by then with Handsome Jo running the country into the ground with 18 milquetoast senate republicans.

Correct me if I'm wrong but are they leading by 5 votes? If so, win 3 and Republicans have the House. Maybe the 5 we keep hearing is the number of victories needed. What about the congressional seats lost in blue states to red states because of mass exits?

That was about as funny as you going into a frat party this fall after a loss in a Members Only jacket on top of a Panama Jack tshirt. Then raise your Natural Lite at the door and announce you're looking for the hot chicks.
