7 Things: January 6 committee either has the goods or nothing at all, Mo Brooks furiously pushing back on claims he wants higher taxes and more …

7. U.S. out of U.N.

U.S. Representative Mike Rogers (R-Saks) has introduced the “American Sovereignty Restoration Act 2022.” The bill would seek to end the United States’ membership with the United Nations (UN) and the World Health Organization.
Rogers said the UN “has repeatedly proven itself to be an utterly useless organization,” adding, “[T]he UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet has proven herself to be nothing more than a puppet for the Chinese Communist Party – aiding the CCP in playing down the very real and horrifying genocide being carried out against Uyghurs.”

6. CDC was playing politics with COVID-19 guidance

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Dr. Rochelle Walensky reportedly changed masking guidelines on schools after speaking with union leaders. The report was released after Walensky’s calendar was leaked, showing contact with the National Education Association (NEA) the day before mask rules were tightened.
The executive director of Americans for Public Trust said, “At every turn, the CDC has told the American people that they have followed the science, but with every record we receive, we see further proof that the CDC keeps turning to teachers’ unions for guidance instead.”

5. Alabama will hear challenges to 4 primary results

On June 25, the Alabama Republican Party will consider challenges to four primary election results from across the state. The challenged races are Senate District 27 and House Districts 2, 28 and 29.
The challenge in Senate District 27 was an election between Auburn City Councilman Jay Hovey and State Senator Tom Whatley (R-Auburn) where Hovey won by only one vote. House Districts 28 and 29 had challenges filed after there was an issue with voters being assigned to the wrong districts. In House District 2, there was only a difference of 14 votes between the candidates Jason Spencer Black and Kimberly Butler.

4. No mail-in ballots or drop boxes with Wes Allen

Secretary of State candidate State Representative Wes Allen (R-Troy) recently affirmed his views on mail-in ballots and ballot drop boxes as he faces State Auditor Jim Ziegler in the runoff election.
Allen said, “[N]o drop boxes, no mass mailing of ballots like we saw in other states…The good thing about Alabama is we have paper ballots.” Allen went on to mention how ballots would be held by the sheriff of each county for 22 months, “so if anything goes wrong or there’s a very close race or if anyone wants to contest a general election or whatever, it can go back and you can look at the ballots.”

3. Shelby and Tuberville will fight federally funded abortions

U.S. Senators Richard Shelby (R-Tuscaloosa) and Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to express their “unwavering” support of the Hyde Amendment and to prevent federal dollars from being used to fund abortions.
The letter said, “As you know, the Hyde Amendment is supported by both a substantial majority of the of the American public and a bipartisan majority of sitting United States Senators.” It added that President Joe Biden and his administration should “eschew any taxpayer-funded giveaways that benefit the multi-billion-dollar abortion industry.”

2. Brooks is fighting attack ads

After asking for former President Donald Trump to #ReEndorseMo for U.S. Senate, U.S. Representative Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) has called foul on a recent attack ad, which was released by the Alabama RINO PAC, that claims he’s “voted to raise income taxes.” The claim adds, “In Congress, Mo even voted against the Bush tax cuts twice.”
The ad later says, “Mo Brooks? More like Mo taxes.” Brooks responded to the ad by noting every Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Alabama joined him in that vote. He advised, “I voted against it because it was a tax increase on tens of millions of citizens of the United States of America. I was for the extension of the Bush tax cuts, but what the Democrats did under Barack Obama is they put before us a bill that would extend the tax cuts for a few, but raise the taxes on the tens of millions of others that the Democrats did not like.”

1. No real evidence on Trump for January 6 riot, but this must be where they finally get him

The U.S. House committee that has been investigating the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, never had solid evidence against former President Donald Trump showing that he was involved with planning the riot, according to a former advisor to the committee, Denver Riggleman. U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) says they found “a lot more than incitement” but didn’t go into detail, so you will have to watch the TV show Thursday where the committee may suggest changes to voting and the Electoral College.
Riggleman said that direct evidence was “going to be very difficult to even find based on the limited authorities of Congress as far as getting data and things like that.” Riggleman added of the evidence the committee had against Trump, “[I]t is pretty apparent that at some points, President Trump knew what was going on.” He added, “If you look at what’s happening and the message that’s being pushed by President Trump himself on social media…you start to see his pipeline of information that’s very damaging.”
