I came across this is little story today, it's not breaking news. I suspect that a member of the housekeeping staff knows something about the bomb threat that required the sweep for weapons.
According to police in Secaucus, the bomb threat — which later was determined to be bogus — was called in to Hudson Regional Hospital on July 18. During a search, bomb detection dogs led investigators to an unlocked office closet containing dozens of firearms.
Among the weapons were 11 handguns and 27 rifles or shotguns, according to police. The closet also contained a .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity magazine that was determined to be an assault rifle, and a 14-round high-capacity handgun magazine.
The arrested the guy the next day.
What the heck do you think this guy was doing? It sounds very ominous that he was keeping those weapons there.
But seriously, he is probably now going to go on another sort of publicity run but anti-trans this time and the right wing press and conservative groups will eat that up and give him all the attention he apparently craves.
Unless of course he went from being a heterosexual as a woman to a gay man. We can't have that. opps...sarcasm again.
Haven't several indictments been issued for contempt of congress to those failing to respond to subpoenas? And, wasn't Mr. Bannon found guilty of the same?
I cannot find any report of indictments for any congressional representatives. Yes, Mr. Bannon was found guilty, and Mr. Navarro has been charged. Neither were serving in Congress, nor am I even aware that they are Republicans.

If subpoenas have been issued to, and ignored by members of Congress, perhaps Ms. Pelosi should refer these to the U. S. Attorney's office.
She could. Or she could refer them to the ethics committee.
Do you think that having members of congress ignore congressional subpoenas diminishes the overall authority of congress to conduct inquiries?
Of course it does, why else would I suggest she refer them to the U. S. Attorney. Alternatively, she could have the House Sergeant at Arms arrest them, although I don't think that has been used in years.

I hope that members of the incoming congress will be more cooperative if asked to appear before committees. After all, what do they have to hide?
As do I. However, at some point they have to be held accountable.

I think the point was why weren't they censured by their own party the way Beerman suggested Pelosi do to AOC. The answer is McCarthy stated the Jan. 6th committee wasn't legitimate.
But not to be a hypocrite, I don't think it's either party's practice.
More than likely it's going to be their goal to dissolve the committee when they take over anyway. The public's interest is already waned.

We don't seem to be very good at holding powerful people accountable...
While I think indoctrination might be a strong term, your article did note that there is some benefit in participating in JROTC, I agree it should be voluntary.
Thanks for posting as I somehow missed this.
It seems obvious to me that it is being done for financial reasons.

Nancy Pelosi chastised Omar Ilhan for remarks construed to be anti-semitic. Omar apologized. Easy peasy. No committee investigation needed.
I get the context now of what you're saying. But saying something stupid (and blown out of proportion because it came from a Muslim woman) and breaking an ethics rule are not the same thing. They don't defer to the Speaker for a "slap on the wrist". They investigate.
Again, we don't know what rule she is being investigated for and they stated they will reveal that next session in January, so I'm not sure you can say "no investigation needed" when you don't know what it's for. It's speculated it's related to the Met Gala tickets, which to me is a minor incident unlikely to amount to much and probably will be a slap on the wrist if that's it. We don't know who made the complaint against her, but like I said before she doesn't necessarily have a lot of friends in congress so some petty person might have done it.

You are correct. This is one of those topics that doesn't deserve comment right now, but I thought we got off on the tangent of who disciplines whom. I'm sure that there are dozensof these conversations going on every day between the congressperson and their superior. Sort of like getting a free consult while in an elevator with someone who can advise and avoid the million dollar work up when a month on iron pills might solve the problem.

Yes. The entire last paragraph was satire. LOL
