Rumor in the Capitol: Hastert to Resign on Friday

A little bird flew in over the transom here at the Pensito Review electronic garrett with this bit of news from the capitol:

Hastert to resign as Speaker on Friday, according to a Capitol Hill lobbyist I know…

Also, my source claims that Boehner will take over for Hastert. Some GOP consultants from Ohio tell me that Boehner is a corruption scandal waiting to happen. They can’t believe that he’s survived this long without one as Majority Leader.

I have also heard that Rep. Henry Hyde, the elderly infamous adulterer, would step in as speaker, which makes no sense since Hyde has retired. Iraq war hero Tammy Duckworth is vying for his open seat.

Boehner and Blunt both are headed for the big slam before this is all over, though their “crimes” are more “against humanity” than are the “sexual misconducts” now being bandied about.
Truth to tell, if there is a “REPUBLICAN” in the house capable of doing a credibly “honest” job in any of the three top spots of leadership,”they” are so “low key” as to be totally UNSEEN!

Poetic Justice

Verbatim

“The man is afraid of the voice of the people and that the people understand and know what he’s doing. He’s trying to stifle the ability of journalists to let the people of America know what’s really going on with their government.”

— “Kamala Harris called President Donald Trump’s ban of CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House ‘absolutely abhorrent,’” The Wrap reports.

“Not one of them is trained in technical skills. Not one research PhD, as opposed to China, where half the cabinet is science and technology PhDs. We’re led by grifters and fools.”

— Columbia professor Jeffrey Sachs, on X, on President Trump’s 35-person cabinet.

“Mr. President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far… The same Hispanics who helped you get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today.”

— Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL), breaking with President Trump in a direct-to-camera video.

10%

“The unprecedented spate of mid-decade redistricting for the U.S. House has changed the congressional districts for one-tenth of Americans and significantly altered the makeup of at least one-fifth of districts, according to a new study,” the Associated Press reports.

71%

A new Fox News Poll finds 71% of voters think the Trump administration lacks a clear strategy for ending the Iran War, including 95% of Democrats, 83% of independents, and 43% of Republicans. Sixty percent say U.S. military action against Iran was the wrong decision, while just 37% say it was right.

$9.5 billion

“The Trump administration last year spent $9.5 billion on paid administrative leave for federal workers as part of its plan to shrink the government and save taxpayers money, according to a new estimate by a congressional watchdog,” CNN reports.

470

Reuters has documented at least 470 targets of retribution under Trump’s leadership – from federal employees and prosecutors to universities and media outlets. The list illuminates the sweeping effort by the president and his administration to punish dissent and reshape the government.
