According to The Wall Street Journal, the Senate Judiciary Committee has unanimously approved the nomination of Atlanta attorney Chris Wray to be the next FBI director. Now he’ll face the full Senate within the next couple of weeks: Christopher Wray, President Donald Trump’s nominee to be the next FBI director, cleared a key hurdle in
Monday night at a dinner with select Senators, in his typical bombastic way, President Trump said they — presumably meaning Senate Republicans and not Republicans in general to include him — would look like “dopes,” and also “terrible” and “weak,” if they didn’t pass the Better Care Reconciliation Act. Almost simultaneously, two Senators not at the meeting,
Oh, Chris Wray. We’re told he’s a steely prosecutor who is good under pressure, and Lordy, he’ll have to be.

President Trump is claiming credit for ensuring no Republican won in last night’s CD-6 race. Despite major outside money, FAKE media support and eleven Republican candidates, BIG "R" win with runoff in Georgia. Glad to be of help! — Donald J.

With the GOP nominee seemingly unable to get out of his own way, the unrest within the party is growing with some unusual declarations. The AJC’s Jim Galloway reported on a phone conversation he had with Baoky Vu one of the 16 Georgia members of the Electoral College. Vu has just put out a statement
