HAPPENING THIS WEEK: The Select Committee will hold a bipartisan press conference in remembrance of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre.
The Chinese Communist Party refuses to admit the truth about this shameful, bloody day in its history. It actively threatens those who share the facts about this tragedy, whether they are in China or America. The Select Committee stands with Chinese dissidents and will always remind the world of the CCP’s tyranny.
Two weeks ago, the Judicial Qualifications Commission confidentially notified the Democrat backed candidates for the Supreme Court - Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin - that it was investigating them for violations of the Georgia Code of Judicial Conduct.
The Democrats immediately filed a secret lawsuit against the JQC to stop the investigation. The lawsuit was assigned to Stacey Abrams's sister, a federal judge appointed by President Obama. Judge Abrams, again in secret, blocked the JQC from investigating.
The Democrats continued their violations with impunity.
Over the weekend, the Court of Appeals overruled Abrams. Today - one day before the election, after nearly a million Georgians have already voted - the Judicial Qualifications Commission issued a statement that Jordan and Rankin have engaged in multiple, serial violations of the Code.
This is a stunning abuse of the legal process by lawyers who are seeking to become judges - impartial dispensers of justice.

At the Rededicate 250 prayer festival, Speaker Mike Johnson prayed, "Almighty God, we ask that you hear these solemn petitions just as we in the beginning dedicated this land to your most holy name. Today, here Lord, in this 250th year of American independence, we hereby rededicate the United States of America as one nation under God."
From Day One, the mission was crystal clear: This was the final, best chance to wipe out Iran’s threat for good - so they can never have a nuclear weapon.
@SecRubio breaks it down ⬇️
I'm happy to share this post by my friend Rep. Riley Moore. Both Congressman Moore and I have been following for some time the story of the brutal anti-Christian persecution underway in Nigeria. To suggest, as the New York Times does, that these attacks are not motivated fundamentally by anti-Christian animus is simply absurd. I suppose the editors of the paper of record feel that it was just an odd coincidence that a purportedly “tribal” and “economically motivated” assault took place on Palm Sunday. Anyone who studies these murders, that have taken place over many decades, and fails to see an anti-religious pattern is blind.
“They wasted these Justices’ time today talking about this!? It BETTER be a 9-0 decision.”
@DanaPerino calls out the absurdity of having to debate whether men belong in women’s sports, and hopes this SCOTUS decision finally ends it.
If you think our nation is in trouble now, just wait… As our streets boil over with hate, anger, crime, drugs, and just sheer hopelessness, is there something we can do? You bet there is.
I would like to call for a time of prayer and repentance this Wednesday, January 14, at 12:00 noon.
As a nation, our sins are so great. We have increasingly turned our backs on God and His commands, embracing godless secularism. We need to ask His forgiveness and seek His face.
Pray for our leaders, and pray that God would bring calm to our streets.
There are many who would like to stir things up—there are even those who would like to destroy this great country. Pray that these efforts would be thwarted and their plans would be brought into confusion.
Ask God to use His Church to be His instruments of peace in this time of great uncertainty.
Remember, this Wednesday at noon, please stop and pray. Millions of people remembering our sins and asking for forgiveness, repenting, and seeking His face will make a difference.
Let’s humble ourselves. Let’s give God the glory for this great nation and thank Him for His hand of blessing, protection, and mercy.
🚨VILE: Dem Rep. Bennie Thompson just referred to the terrorist attack against two National Guardsmen in DC as an "unfortunate accident."
Noem: "You think that was an 'unfortunate accident'!? He shot our National Guardsmen in the head."
Erika Kirk forgives the man who murdered her husband:
"My husband Charlie...he wanted to save young men just like the one who took his life...that young man...
I forgive him.
I forgive him because it was what Christ did and is what Charlie would do."
