Ocasio-Cortez passed over for key committee assignment

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced appointments to several powerful committees on Thursday, most notably the selection of Rep. Kathleen Rice over fellow New Yorker Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

The New York lawmakers had been jockeying for a seat on the panel, according to several media reports, and lobbying to colleagues behind the scenes for weeks, Politico reported.

The committee oversees a broad range of issues, including consumer protection, food and drug safety, public health, health care policy and climate issues.

Politico reported that there was a contentious private meeting on Thursday at the Steering and Policy Committee, where there was a secret ballot to vote on the two candidates. The news outlet said the vote was 46-13.


Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and a rising star in the party, has been outspoken on many of the issues the committee would tackle. She is currently a member of the powerful House Committee on Oversight and Reform. She also co-chaired a panel advising President-elect Joe Biden on climate policy during his campaign.

Rice is a more moderate member of the party, a former district attorney who represents parts of Long Island. She currently serves on the House Committee on Homeland Security. Rice's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Pelosi praised the appointments in a statement.

"House Democrats are united in our mission to Build Back Better, and with these strong voices at the table, we will deliver on that sacred promise to make a real difference for all Americans," she said.


The Democrats seems to have learnt their lesson and do not want to go the way of the GOP who handed over their party to Trump

demmymoney:
So now part of the Federal government says their was voter fraud, brought on by, China, Russia, and Iran.

Wait, let me understand.. Chris Kreb who was the director of CISA which is our cybersecurity agency is fired after he states that this was “most secure election” and now less than a month later we find there was a hack pertaining to software used by almost every government agency that has been happening since march?

Only a fool or treasonous one would say the obviously sabotaged election was secure much less most secure ever. Any sane mind knows it was far from secure and most unsecure election ever and do not need a report to see that. Definitely an orchestrated coup de'tat with banana republic machines, fraudulent ballots and corrupt State and Federal officials in collusion with Communist China. Treason is what it is in the real World. But Yeah... media silence says... nothing to see here... move along.

Imagine that ...China helping Beijing Biden! Shout out to you lefties, have you looked at the media in these other countries? So is it a good thing that Iran, China and Russia want Biden to be our President? If so, why?

I watched Chris Krebs' testimony yesterday and it appears to me that he must be getting paid off by someone..

And....

Mark Zuckerberg donated $500 million to the Democratic Party. It was all exposed yesterday. Zuckerberg had to testify about it. He did on ZOOM. The MSM wouldn’t report it as usual.

Zuckerberg has committed Treason against our country by Using this platform to promote Globalist agenda, illegally manipulate our ELECTIONS and VIOLATING our freedom of speech by targeting conservatives and suppressing the criminal conduct of Democrats!

In any case...

Its clear as daylight that there is a collective effort to get President Trump out. Even the very institutions that is set up to prevent and investigate these things are involved and a blind man can see it.

All the deep state swamp has done is light a fire under American Patriots to demand Congress to clean up our voting system. American Patriots will demand that Congress put in foolproof safety measures to ensure that the widespread voter fraud perpetrated by the left, big tech, other countries interfering stops.

When you use every deceitful unlawful immoral way to cheat to ''win'' ...your moral compass is already gone over to the dark side!

That said...

It just Baffles me that the Democrats did the very thing they blamed President Trump for. And some people still voted for China Joe. Everything that did go wrong for President Trump the last 4 years was all caused by the Democrats dragging their feet, going against any and all that could better this country. And people are still to ignorant or blind to see what’s really been happening in our government for so long! The corrupted don’t care about anything except covering all their corruption and having power over our lives! Can you say communism?

President Trump won by a landslide! America does not want to be a socialist communist country!

But china was not able to help Biden to win the senate race and most down ballots races they lost?ohh and by the way,Trump isnt saying anything about it because he knows his lord and master Putin is the one in charge and if he says anything Putin can even kill him

Amidst controversies regarding his acquisition of multi-billion naira worth of properties in his home state of Kano, Accountant-General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris, has met with President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, to seek tenure extension.

Buhari had on Friday left Abuja for Daura in Katsina State in what the Presidency described as a "private visit."


SaharaReporters gathered that Idris, who clocked 60 years on November 25, 2020, reminded the President that his tenure had elapsed and solicited for tenure extension.

It was learnt that close aides of the Buhari had blocked the AGF from meeting the President in Abuja, making him to ‘follow the back door’ to meet him in Daura.

“The AGF secretly met with President Buhari in Daura to beg him for tenure extension. This was because people close to Buhari refused to allow him to see the President, that was why he followed the back door to go and meet him in Daura,” a source told SaharaReporters.

Idris had earlier engaged the services of highly placed persons including governors, senators and emirs to prevail on the President to give him an extension.

The move is against the civil service rules, which states that a career civil servant must disengage from service either after attaining 60 years of age or having worked for 35 years, whichever comes first.


It is also against a recent circular from the office of the Head of Service to all agencies of the Nigerian Government which says, “For the avoidance of doubt and to maintain discipline and integrity of the extant public service rule which prescribed 60 years of age or 35 years of service for mandatory retirement, should strictly be complied with.

“Accordingly, the following guidelines shall apply. (I) that career officer who takes up tenured appointment should at the point of taking up the appointment retire from service to ensure they run their term uninterrupted.

“(II) that career officers who have not retired from service before the commencement of their tenured appointment must leave office on the attainment of mandatory age/years of service for retirement and

“(iii) that career officer who is currently holding tenured appointment is required to retire from service with immediate effect and continue to run their term. Failure to do so would mean that they would vacate office on attaining the mandatory age or at the expiration of their term whichever comes first.”

However, knowledgeable sources in the OAGF and the Presidency informed SaharaReporters that Idris was doing everything within his capacity to manipulate the extant laws and regulations to remain in office.


“He is stopping at nothing to achieve his aim, which will eventually deny others in the system their career progression. The AGF is also speculated to be aspiring to become the next governor of Kano State in 2023, and he is believed to be mobilising a formidable financial war chest for that purpose,” a source said.

SaharaReporters had earlier exposed how Idris acquired several properties worth billions of naira since being appointed by President Buhari as the administrative head of the treasury in June 2015.

A visit to Gezawa Commodity Market Limited and Gezawa Integrated Farms Limited owned by Idris lends credence to the allegations made by concerned citizens and some stakeholders on how and where the AGF got the money he used in acquiring the multi-billion naira firms, both in Kano through his direct family members.

The shareholdings of both firms indicate a spread of Idris family members on the official board.

There have also been questions about how the AGF bought 'Sokoto Hotel' in Kano with N500m cash.

SaharaReporters gathered that Idris upon acquiring the hotel ordered its immediate demolition to build a multi-billion naira shopping mall on the property.

Haha, you enter anfani beside the petro station through Ring road from Challenge. Just about the second turning by your left... Na there I dey take my babes to..na point and kill fresh fish pepper soup.. There's another one behind First bank at Molete..nice joint

Okay,I will try check one of these days..I know those areas like the back of my hands..Will try and trace it..I used to pass anfaani to Liberty road in those days when going to school..instead of taking a taxi from challenge,I will chop the money as little children and walk through anfaani to Iyana Bola Ige and burst out at my school Baptist secondary school Oke-Ado..Memories mehn..We thank the universe for the growth

OgaTheTop2:
lol. I was in Ibadan last Feb. I know the city has changed. I visit yearly. I will pm you when i'm around. We cruise around town together
Btw, you can try that joint at that anfani junction for good catfish pepper soup. The place is local but who cares? I just need the fish in my stomach

No problem boss.. kindly send a PM when around and mention me on a dead thread or here.

Of course I can try the joint..Is it immediately when you enter Anfanni beside the petrol station? Before the church of after?

PrideofLincoln1:
I got your points perfectly right but some of these police departments have ammunitions more than Nigeria do. What do police departments need Bazzooka or all these weapons of mass destruction for. Those can be cut down and a lot of these police departments are being infiltrated by Nazis and Klans and the good ones maintain that Blue Code of silence. Police brutality is real in America. It has never happened to me but it has happened to a lot of people I grew up with. Hopefully, Democrats will know that defunding police sounds like a political booby trap that will choke them and I am a Proud Democrat.

Of course in a sane society the police dies not need a weapon of mass destruction..But come to think of it,The citizens themselves have those weapons of mass destruction.so why should the police also not use it?..The Nigerian army is still fighting to defeat Boko Haram while Boko Haram has more superior weapons..should it be so?

As long as weapons of war can get into the hands of citizens legally,I think in that regard the police too should have those weapons..However,there must be sincere and genuine training of the police to be more efficient and more patient when dealing with members of the public.. Their training months should be increased and they should be mentally fit and okay for the job at hand.

Thoss departments infuriated by racists groups should be flushed out and made to face the law if found wanting..The police needs our support and at the same time being brought to book for any crime and offence done or committed against the citizens

OgaTheTop2:
Gbam! I never missed that. It's Catfish pepper soup. There's a place around anfani junction in Ibadan, you can get a very good tasty Catfish pepper soup for 1200 naira a plate... try it out and thank me later. I can send the seller's digit if you want to go there.. I don't miss that treat yearly whenever I am in naija..

Me I am in Ibadan oo..Maybe I can try and see if I can check that place you mentioned out one of this days..When did you visit Ibadan last?You need to come again soonest..You will even enjoy it more..The city has changed gannn with a bubbling night life.and of course,The babes are waithing for una..

PrideofLincoln1:
That defunding police did not go well with majority of Americans because I am not in favor of it too especially coming from Chicagoland. There are neighborhoods that I find myself in Chicago that I will have my beloved Glock under my jacket and believe me that I will be filling my baby. Those advocating for defunding the Police don't mean it like they want police out of our lives but they want some of that huge police budget to go to mental health programs and other stuff that can help. The people that needs police the most are the low income people of all colors who lives in downtrodden neighborhoods.

I get your point 100%.However,we are all complaining about the highhandedness of the police,should we now reduce the police budget under any guise? Those asking that the police be defunded are not doing pretty good.They want the big chunk of the police budget to go somewhere else which to me is not the case.

1..Laws should be passed to bring erring police officers to book.They must not be a law unto themselves.

2.It is even at this point that the police budget should be increased to be able to fight crime effectively. I believe nothing is too much for the police..Nothing is actually too much for Law and order. They should be supported 100% in fighting crime and at the same time they should not be a law unto themselves.

armyofone:
A bullet train or those one that put coal in your face and nose ?
Please tell me because I'm excited about the train ride already

Ahahahahahahahahhahaa..Not those old school coal trains ooo..Not Bullet though but it's a moderm one..I think it uses diesel..Was told it's gonna be 40mins to Ibadan from Lagos

Kophschmerzen:
Cool man, I'm not so all over the moon with Bidens man!! The dems need to learn how to wield power like the GOP, why should Biden be saying shhit about working together with all we saw the senate GOP made Obama go through. The way they bend all rules and laws for Trump. Biden is opening us up for a bloodbath in the mid terms and a more competent Trump in 24.

You want them to wield power like the GOP?You go out and vote in the senate races upcoming if you are in Georgia.And if not,you tell your people who are there to vote.That is how elections are won. Majority carries the vote and no matter what the opposition does, they can only rant and rave.If they dont have the majority..That is Power and it must be used very very well..

P.S,,You dont also campaign on defunding the police and believe me,the races might be yours as I wish the Democrats will win both seats

Ado ekiti is a village and a village it will forever be..If not because of the military it should still be under Ondo state..Ekiti people sef knows their place is still a village..When they visit Ibadan like this,Ibadan is like London to them..Lol

PrideofLincoln1:
That's a surprise. Few years ago I bought a return ticket from Lagos to Abuja and it was about 45 Grand if I am right. How long is that flight from Lagos to Ibadan.

Ahahahahahaa..Right now the flight from Lagos to Abuja now is almost 100K partly due to Insecurity as more people that can afford to travel by air now travel by air due to Insecurity as they don't want to be kidnapped and told to pay some huge ransom..The North is a total behive of Insecurity..The SW is even still safe to some extent

The flight from Lagos to Ibadan is about 20mins or so I think.

PrideofLincoln1:
25 Grand from Lagos to Ibadan which is less than 150 miles. Wow, that's a shocker. Is that one way or return ticket.

Yeah..A one way ticket though..It was about 20K before now.Might even go higher sef due to the end of the year travelling you know

Overland started flying the Ibadan Lagos route I think 2019.
