Georgia GOP Rep. Hice Reports on White House Meeting With Pres. Trump and V.P. Pence: Vows to Object on Jan. 6 to State’s Electors

 

President Trump met at the White House Monday afternoon with several Republican Congressmen to discuss the contested presidential election. Among them was Rep. Jody Hice of Georgia who said he will object to Georgia’s electors when Congress convenes on January 6 to review and decide whether to accept the votes of the Electoral College for president and vice president.

 

“Big meeting today with @realDonaldTrump, @VP, the President’s legal team, @freedomcaucus and other Members of Congress. I will lead an objection to Georgia’s electors on Jan 6. The courts refuse to hear the President’s legal case. We’re going to make sure the People can!”

 

The meeting is notable not just for Hice’s vow to contest the electors, but also for the reported presence of Vice President Mike Pence who has not been previously reported to be a participant in the meetings about the contested election.

More Than 70 West Point Cadets Allegedly Caught Cheating on Math Exam

 

The U.S. Military Academy at West Point has been rocked by an honor code scandal in which 73 cadets are accused of cheating on a math exam, an academy spokesman said Monday.

 

The alleged cheating at the Army's storied training ground for officers, first reported by USA Today, involves a calculus exam administered remotely in May when the campus was closed and the cadets were at home, Lt. Col. Chris Hooper, an academy spokesman, told Military.com by phone Monday night.

 

Seventy-two of the accused cadets are plebes, or freshmen, and one is a "yearling," or sophomore, Hooper said.

 

The cheating scandal is the worst at West Point since 1976, when 153 cadets resigned or were expelled for cheating on an electrical engineering exam.

 

Instructors grading the calculus test found suspicious discrepancies and brought the matter to the attention of academy authorities, Hooper said.

 

The result was that 73 cadets were charged with violating the academy's strict honor code which states, "A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do."

 

Of the 73 cadets accused, four have resigned and cases against two others were dropped for lack of sufficient evidence, according to Hooper.

 

In the 67 remaining cases, 59 admitted to cheating and will be permitted to remain at the academy under a form of probation while undergoing rehabilitation and mentoring by a senior officer for the rest of their four-year commitment to West Point, Hooper said.

 

The eight other cases will be subject to additional honor code hearings before a panel of senior cadets, who are advised by military lawyers, Hooper said.

 

In a statement, Lt. Col. Christopher Ophardt, the academy's director of public affairs, said, "[The] West Point honor code and character development program remains strong despite remote learning. Cadets are being held accountable for breaking the code. While disappointing, the honor system is working, and these 67 remaining cases will be held accountable for their actions."

The Only Thing Missing From This Absolute Cluster of a 'COVID Relief' Bill Is $ for Shrimp on a Treadmill. Trump Should Veto It

 

As feared, the so-called COVID relief bill is another behemoth Christmas tree offering by politicians spending your money on behalf of Uncle Sugar. This allegedly $900 billion bill ostensibly was written to help people wracked by the economic hit by COVID. It’s anything but. It’s another spendulous travesty and should be vetoed by President Trump – before Christmas. Opening the economy while encouraging best health practices is the best response at this point. Congress has thrown $3.3 trillion at help during the coronavirus pandemic. It’s time to let the people run their own affairs.

 

The Washington Post calls it likely “one of the most costly bills” ever considered by any United States Congress.

 

Ever.

 

The only thing missing is money for a study of shrimps on a treadmill, a notoriously ridiculous program funded by the infamous Obama-era stimulus bill — a bill that threw money at anything and everything in hopes of jump-starting the US economy after the housing crash of 2008-09.

 

How serious is this bill? Not very but it spends serious money on unserious things. Tom Elliott of Grabien points out a few of the ridiculously beside-the-point items in this bill. They’re gobsmacking.

 

Worried about giving racehorses painkillers? Glad you asked. This COVID relief bill is for you.

 

Now I like horses and all and was horrified by all the deaths of racehorses at Santa Anita race track, but what the hell is this item doing in a bill about COVID relief? Shouldn’t California or a racing commission be dealing with this?

 

Oh, and don’t worry. The Kennedy Center is getting yet another bailout. Why, exactly? Are they putting on shows right now? How many bailouts does it take to keep the lights on and the development department still working the phones calling on all those rich lobbyists living in the DMV?

 

And — thank God! — the government COVID stimulus is there to keep teenagers from hooking up as if there aren’t dozens if not hundreds of other programs doing the same thing. And let us take a moment to say thanks to all the HIV workers in other countries by giving them new cars. Funding for this is in the COVID bill. You? Buy used.
