There’s been a great deal of debate about last week’s debates in Washington. I’m sure that you’ve heard about the saga of Congressman Kevin McCarthy’s now successful bid to be the Speaker of the House.  Final votes have been counted, fingers were pointed, names were called and hands were wrung. Pundits expressed daily dismay over the few days of delay in getting the new members of Congress officially sworn in. 

Suddenly the mantra was that without committee chairmanships being official national security was at risk. Investigations into Hunter Biden, the Wuhan Lab, the January 6th files, Twitter suppression, the raid on Mar-A-Lago, and all sorts of other egregious doings of the establishment and deep state were delayed by at least a whole 96 hours. The pearl-clutching was unnecessary and a bit ridiculous.
