ANALYSIS<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 We are just one day away from a major electoral shift with the Republicans expected to retake the House and possibly the Senate too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That will put a hard brake on Joe Biden and the left\u2019s radical agenda and make Biden more of a lame duck than he already is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may even put an impeachment target on his back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what can we expect from a GOP-led Congress in January?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to current Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, the top priority of a Republican-led House would be addressing the horrible migrant crisis at the southern border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN reports<\/a>: \u201cThe first thing you\u2019ll see is a bill to control the border first,\u201d McCarthy told CNN, when asked for specifics about his party\u2019s immigration plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got to get control over the border. You\u2019ve had almost 2 million people just this year alone coming across.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newsmax reported<\/a> McCarthy as saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“There’s a number of different ways” Republicans could tackle the migrant crisis, McCarthy added that party lawmakers would not present a bill to fix the broken immigration system until the border is secure \u2014 something that would help stem the flow of fentanyl.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I think ‘Stay in Mexico’ you have to have right off the bat,” said McCarthy, referring to the Trump administration’s policy that forced migrants to remain in Mexico while awaiting their immigration proceedings in the U.S.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In fiscal year 2022, U.S. border encounters with illegal migrants topped 2 million, according to US Customs and Border Protection data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most recently we saw a clash between flag-wielding and rock-throwing Venezuelan migrants attacking U.S. Border Patrol agents who in-turn fired pepper balls at the charging crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But tackling Biden\u2019s border fiasco is just one of several GOP priorities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GOP to-do list also includes tackling Democrat-enabled, out-of-control crime and runaway inflation, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republicans will also be investigating the hell out of Team Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there is so much that needs investigating<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newsmax added<\/a> that \u201cMcCarthy said Republicans also would perform oversight and conduct investigations into administration behavior concerning the disastrous troop pullout from Afghanistan, the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in dealing with parents and school board meetings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also hope FBI and DHS politicization gets a top spot for oversight as well. Much needs to be done in that highly concerning area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then they should dig into the increasingly ‘Woke Pentagon,’ and the extreme ‘Trans’ agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, expect investigations galore, and Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop and shady international business dealings will also take center stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what about impeaching Joe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While McCarthy insisted, “We will never use impeachment for political purposes,” he left the door open to launching eventual impeachment proceedings, when he added: “That doesn’t mean if something rises to the occasion, it would not be used at any other time.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden should walk on eggshells for the next two years, if he makes it that far without having the 25th Amendment invoked to remove him for senility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The political power pendulum is about to swing back to the right, and karma is a b*tch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
