The U.S. House Ethics Committee \u2014 acting on a referral from an independent watchdog group \u2014 has decided to investigate a freshman Republican loudmouth congressman on unspecified (so far) ethics charges.<\/p>\n<p>The loudmouth is Ronny Jackson, who moved to the Texas Panhandle a couple of years ago so he could run for Congress from the 13th Congressional District. Jackson has become something of a right-wing media darling, given his incessant Twitter barrage that makes profoundly stupid allegations against President Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson\u2019s defense at the moment is that the referral to the House ethics panel comes from a so-called \u201cliberal\u201d outfit, the Office of Congressional Ethics, which he says makes a habit of targeting conservatives such as himself. What absolute crap!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/politics\/ethics-panel-reviewing-rep-ronny-jackson-e2-80-99s-campaign-spending\/ar-AAVYS2L?ocid=uxbndlbing\">https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/politics\/ethics-panel-reviewing-rep-ronny-jackson-e2-80-99s-campaign-spending\/ar-AAVYS2L?ocid=uxbndlbing<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I suppose I should point out that these allegations \u2014 whatever they might turn out to be \u2014 are part of Jackson\u2019s modus operandi. Donald Trump nominated Jackson, a former White House physician and retired Navy admiral, to become secretary of Veterans Affairs. Jackson withdrew his name from consideration after allegations surfaced that Jackson (a) drank on the job, (b) harassed White House staffers sexually, and (c) was a bit too generous with prescription drugs.<\/p>\n<p>He got elected to Congress in 2020 and began harping continually about Joe Biden\u2019s mental acuity.<\/p>\n<p>The guy is an embarrassment. However, right-wing media talkers love the guy; he\u2019s a regular on the Fox News Channel, Newsmax and One America Network broadcasts.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s actually a dipsh** carpetbagger who masquerades as a dedicated public servant.<\/p>\n<p>I have no clue what the ethics probe will reveal. I am willing to give him a smidgen of a benefit of the doubt, given that the OCE and the House ethics panel haven\u2019t yet divulged what the complaints entail. However, a major part of me thinks there\u2019s something amiss with this rookie loudmouth congressman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\" style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"mailto:johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com\">johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does one make of this item?
