Investigative editor and reporter at The Epoch Times Mark Tapscott discusses the effort to impeach Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Tapscott’s most recent piece on the subject, The 14 Dems Who Condemned Biden’s ‘Open Border Policies’ Now Sit on the Mayorkas Impeachment Hot Seat. Tapscott delves into the unsuccessful attempt by the GOP to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas. The effort centered around two articles of impeachment, both accusing Mayorkas of failing to secure the border under the Biden administration. Despite the Republican majority in the House, the party was unable to muster the necessary votes to move forward with the impeachment against Mayorkas. Tapscott notes that while there remains a possibility for Mayorkas to be impeached in the future, the current state of affairs highlights the GOP’s struggles in their efforts to hold him accountable.

Kim Monson's Quote of the Day:
February 9, 2024

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson, born on April 13, 1743, in Shadwell, Virginia, was a leading figure in America’s early development. As the third President of the United States, serving from 1801 to 1809, Jefferson was instrumental in the drafting of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, epitomizing his belief in individual liberty and democracy. Before his presidency, he served as the Vice President under John Adams and was the nation’s first Secretary of State under George Washington. Jefferson’s tenure as president is noted for the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, which doubled the size of the United States, and the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which expanded the nation’s understanding of the vast western territories. Beyond politics, Jefferson was a polymath who had interests in architecture, archaeology, and science. He founded the University of Virginia in his later years. Jefferson’s complex legacy includes his advocacy for democracy and freedom, juxtaposed with his ownership of slaves. He died on July 4, 1826, leaving a profound impact on American political thought and practice.
