More financial problems for House Democrats are piling up as Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) chairman Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY) failed to report a series of stock trades he made on time, a potential violation of federal law. Business Insider reported Monday that after Maloney’s mother died, he inherited significant shares in several major companies from her “including those of Apple Inc., Microsoft Corporation, alcohol conglomerate Diageo PLC, and investment management company BlackRock Inc” for a total value of $11,051. In June of last year, Business Insider asserted, Maloney sold the stocks but he did not publicly disclose their sale until last week. “That’s a potential problem because federal law mandates that members of Congress publicly disclose stock trades in a ‘periodic transaction report’ within 30 to 45 days of making a trade, depending on the kind of trade,” Business Insider noted. Filing late, as Maloney did, can expose a member of Congress … [Read more...] about House Democrat Campaign Chief Failed to Report Thousands in Stock Trades

The Biden administration’s open borders policy includes flying Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) around the country to house them until they can be distributed to relatives or “sponsors” across the United States. But the governor of Iowa rejected the administration’s request for her state to take part in the scheme. Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds said the ongoing flood of thousands of minor migrants across the southern U.S. border with Mexico “is the president’s problem,” according to a report in the Daily Wire: “This is not our problem,” Reynolds said , adding that the state does not have any temporary facilities to lend to the Department of Housing and Human Services. “This is the president’s problem. He’s the one that has opened the border, and he needs to be responsible for this and he needs to stop it.” Iowa’s own Department of Human Services, it seems, made the decision, based on whether the state was equipped to respond to both local and federal needs amid a … [Read more...] about Iowa Republican Governor Rejects Biden Administration’s Request to House Illegal Minors in the State

WASHINGTON (AP/KDKA) — President Joe Biden wants Congress to know he’s sincere about cutting a deal on infrastructure, but Republican lawmakers have deep-seated doubts about the scope of his proposed package, its tax hikes and Biden’s premise that this is an inflection point for the U.S. as a world power. Biden met Monday afternoon with a bipartisan group of lawmakers and tried to assure them that the Oval Office gathering was not “window dressing.” One of the core disputes is over what counts as infrastructure in his $2.3 trillion proposal.

Roger Wicker of Mississippi indicated after the meeting that he was willing to negotiate with Biden and called it a “good discussion.” But a more fundamental disagreement also … [Read more...] about Pennsylvania’s Infrastructure Gets C-Minus From White House Report

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The election has set the stage for more partisan gridlock at the Minnesota Capitol, with Republicans appearing likely Wednesday to hang onto their slim majority in the Senate and Democrats poised to keep a diminished majority in the House. With little change in the balance of power, Democrats and Republicans are likely to continue to struggle to find common ground on major issues. The two sides were unable over the past two years to agree on a public works package known as a bonding bill until a special session last month. And they’ve bitterly split over whether to continue to allow Democratic Gov. Tim Walz to deal with the coronavirus pandemic via executive orders, with few checks and balances from the Legislature.
