Republican Committee Chairs

They won’t be the best and the brightest.  Here are five.


Appropriations:  Kay Granger of Texas.  Opposes spending that Biden asked for, but lobbied for money for F-35 fighter jets.  (They are built in her district.)


Armed Services:  Mike Rogers of Alabama.  Pushed for the “Space Force.”  


Energy and Commerce:  Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington.  Plans to have her committee interrogate Dr. Fauci.  


Foreign Affairs:  Michael T. McCaul of Texas.  Will look into the withdrawal from Afghanistan, which could actually use some looking into.  Is a big supporter of aid to Ukraine, so we have one who might be ok.


Judiciary:  Jim Jordan of Ohio.  Plans to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas, the head of Homeland Security.  Also plans to look into the “politicization” of the Justice Department.  Chairman of the “Freedom Caucus.”  Trumpist.


I’ll get to the rest some other time.  Some committee chairs are still in contention.
