There is now a quote by a McClintock spokesperson that he ‘strongly disagrees’ with Marjorie Taylor Greene’s call for a civil war.  I have written to the press asking/demanding they say that a rival has asked him to perform actions and not just speak words.  I have told the press that I am a declared…

I received the following response from a member of a Democratic county organization. “I am immediately put off by the name calling…If anyone is going to beat McClintock they’ll have to get beyond preaching to the converted.” I want to be clear about my language. It is not name calling to state that the Republican…

Since Ronald Reagan was President, and politicianTom McClintock began his career, the Republican Party has pushed for deregulation.  What happened to the railway in E.

I am becoming very interested in neuropolitics and how Republicans think. It is 100% different from Democratic voters. Republicans have a more active right amygdala than Democrats. The right amygdala is more strongly associated with negative emotions such as fear and sadness. The left amygdala has been associated with both positive and negative emotional responses.…

On January 3, the letter “Will Tom McClintock Divorce Marjorie Taylor Greene?” was published online in both the Ledger Dispatch (Calaveras county) and the Ceres Courier (Stanislaus).

In the movie “The Dark Knight,” the character Alfred attempts to explain the Joker’s psychopathy to Bruce Wayne with the phrase, “Some people just like to watch the world burn.”  This phrase makes me think of Congressman Tom “Marjorie Taylor Greene” McClintock.  Like the Joker, he seems intent on watching how high and hot the…

A professional politician like Rep.

Early this year, professional politician Tom “Marjorie Taylor Greene” McClintock announced his support for the Republican Party’s new Committee on the Whitewashing of Federal Grievances (W.F.G.).  In doing so, he used the long-running and provably false phrase “Russian Collusion Hoax.”   It would be nice if Rep. Tom “Marjorie Taylor Greene” McClintock updated his thinking when…

One would think that after over 40 years in politics, Congressman Tom “Marjorie Taylor Greene” McClintock would have a better understanding of the debt ceiling.  On January 25, on Fresno’s Fox 26’s “Connect to Congress” he made a false credit card analogy that’s been repeatedly debunked.
