Many years ago, while I was sharing a house with three other people, I opened the refrigerator, and there, on the top shelf, was a box of Cheerios.  OK.  I turned to the cabinet where the cereals were stored and, upon opening it, found a half-gallon of milk sweating as it warmed up.

Obviously, putting those two items in the wrong places was an innocent act.  But putting men in women’s sports is not only willfully wrong, but it is also dangerous.  The fact that the democrat party encouraged that perversion of women’s sport is a true testimony of their unhinged philosophies. 

Now, one of those perverts, Eric Swalwell of California, who sidestepped prosecution for having an affair with a Chinese spy (Fang-Fang), is now under investigation for rape and other illicit sexual dalliances.  The political waters around him have heated up to the point that he has withdrawn his candidacy for California governor and has resigned from Congress. Other groups have scrubbed him from their membership, including the Future Forum PAC, which groomed younger democrats for future leadership.     Good Call!

Most of this has been revealed in the last five days.  Today, Wednesday, my Arizona Member of Congress, Paul Gosar, introduced an un-numbered piece of legislation entitled “Stopping Wasteful Allowances for Lawmaker Wrongdoing and Ensuring Legal Liability Act.’’  

Put the first letter of each word together and it spells the SWALWELL Act.  Cute.

Gosar’s press release call it “a direct strike against Washington’s culture of corruption, secrecy, and self-protection.”

It goes on:

“For decades, the swamp in Washington, D.C. has protected its own—letting corrupt politicians bury misconduct behind closed doors while sticking taxpayers with the bill. That ends now. If a Member of Congress or professional staff breaks the law or abuses their position, they should pay the price themselves—not the American people, and not in secret.

The SWALWELL Act slams the door on taxpayer-funded hush money. It bans the use of federal dollars for misconduct settlements and forces Members and professional staff to pay every penny out of their own pockets—no bailouts, no pass throughs, no campaign fund loopholes, no excuses. Lawmakers will have to certify under oath that they didn’t use public money to cover their tracks.

This bill also rips the curtain back on decades of buried abuse. It creates a public, searchable database naming those who settled or were found liable, including how much they paid and why—while fully protecting victims. And it exposes every taxpayer-funded payout going back to 1995, finally revealing the true scale of this congressional slush fund.”

It is obvious that many people in the political arena, including agents in the Secret Service and FBI, knew of Swalwell’s antics.  I wish this legislative proposal had empowered them and obligated them to inform congressional ethics committees of such problems.

I have long believed that morality is the keystone of our constitutional republic; that concept has taken some heavy shots with the Kennedys, Clintons, and many members of Congress.  It is time for all of us, republicans and democrats, to push this legislation into law.

Currently is cosponsored by Biggs, Boebert, Burchett, Carter, Fine, and Luna.

Let’s see who fights this.
