The public deserves clarity about Senator McConnell’s ability to serve. Questions have only intensified following reports that Elaine Chao, McConnell’s wife, traveled to China for meetings with senior CCP officials while Senator McConnell has remained hospitalized for more than 20 days with very few public updates about his condition.
One additional question: Since Senator McConnell is the Chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, who is overseeing the committee while he is hospitalized? Is Senate Leader John Thune @LeaderJohnThune and the Senate Republican Conference considering appointing another Republican to chair the committee if Chairman McConnell remains unable to perform those duties?
@McConnellPress
They’re covering up McConnell’s death to prevent Massie from taking his seat and if you say anything about these unprecedented levels of corruption they call you a communist and say that means you’re a dangerous enemy of the state
They want you to believe @SenMcConnell is awake in a hospital bed, recovering but hard at work.
His Twitter account which used to post constantly hasn’t weighed in on anything in a month.
Not the 4th of July, not Iran, not even his own health.
But yeah sure he’s functional…🙄
I’ll go.
I can go to the doctor and get any medical procedure done on me without having to worry about traveling to another State.
Is that good or want me to keep going?
So let me get this straight: FIFA won’t intervene when Iran is forced to relocate to Mexico/treated like shit, but they’ll break their own rules to reinstate a U.S. player because Trump told them to?
🇺🇲 Donald Trump: "I am also a defender of the rights of Iranian women, they love me..."
🇮🇷 Iran: "He is a pedophile, everyone knows how he looks at women and young girls, and he attacks innocent countries just to keep this from being heard..."
CBS News also warning about unfolding crisis at National Weather Service ⚠️
Experts warn about botched forecasts due to combination of missing data & poorly trained staff.

The man is not well. He called the SBA Administrator Nicki Minaj, on camera, twice, and not a single person corrected him. How many more of these does it take before somebody admits what everyone can see; that Trump is dumb AF and his brain is mush!
So, let me get this straight….
Mitch McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, met with the Vice President of China, 3 days after Mitch was hospitalized.
Is there any doubt that Mitch was completely being controlled by China at this point?
“Maybe McConnell isn’t dead”
Totally possible.
In which case he is either mentally incapacitated or unconscious.
An 80+ year old man, does not bounce back from cardiac arrest, CPR and 3 weeks in hospital.
That cover-up would be just as immoral, as his staff have an obligation to file his resignation if he is unfit to serve.
The 3-month survival rate for 80 year olds who had a cardiac arrest is less than 3%.
Of those, many never regain self-sufficient function.
He is either gone, has one foot out the door or is unfit to be in the Senate.
And just like with Feinstein, pretending it isn’t the case, serves no one.
It is time for Congress to demand his resignation OR to verify a proof of life and function.
Is Mitch McConnell unconscious? Brain dead? Dead dead?
Why won’t anyone from his office tell us details or show us (if he’s well)?
Senate Leader?
President?
Is this still a Democracy? The people have a right to know.

Miles Taylor: “So when Donald Trump makes a phone call to the head of FIFA, and asks for a favor, the head of FIFA is aware that the United States has, in the past, indicted FIFA officials and that in Donald Trump, they have someone willing to go easy on the charges on the people who are tied to that kind of corruption. This is NOT insignificant”
“The greatest single cause of atheism today, Christians, who acknowledge Jesus by their lips, and walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle (I’ll add… words, tweets, Trump, racism, and anger) That is what an unbelieving world simply finds, unbelievable.” Brennan Manning
I think we moved on WAY too fast from Ken Paxton letting convicted child molester Adam Hoffman off with a ONE-DAY JAIL SENTENCE.
Hoffman, who admitted to sexually abusing a young boy for YEARS, didn’t even have to register as a sex offender.
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?
I can think of a few of reasons Senator McConnell's loving wife, Elaine Chao, would leave her husband's side and go to China just days after he was hospitalized:
1. He's already deceased
2. Her higher loyalty is in China
2. She's not exactly a loving wife
