What?! No, not that one, the Megan Fox that writes for PJ Media
If you may recall, a few days ago Ted Cruz sat in Congress and called the riot on January 6, 2021 a terrorist attack on the Capital." It was a ridiculously hyperbolic statement to make, especially coming from a conservative Republican member of Congress who has eyes on the Presidency.
Tucker Carlson called Cruz out for this on his show, and Cruz went on a night or two later to defend what he said. Many gave him credit for this. I did not. Cruz was the Harvard Debate Champion during his time there, and I had no doubt he would use those skills to weasel out of what he had said. And that was exactly what happened. Despite his clear and unambiguous words on the record, he claimed what he really meant was that those who struggled with the Capital Hill Police were terrorists and said that he had been on the record many times calling those who attack police as terrorists. Which I have no doubt he had, and he took time to ensure this before using this line to cowardly deflect from his obvious pandering to Dems and their joke committee on the events of Jan 6.
I commented on several conservative blogs after the event and got the usual pushback about how awesome Cruz is, and how he'd be a great President and all the things he had done, blah, blah, blah . . .
Problem is, I've always felt Cruz was all talk -- no action. Or since he's from Texas -- all hat, no cattle. He got the sh*t scared out of him a few years ago when soy boy Beto O'Rourke gave him a serious run for his Senate seat, and Cruz wants to stay on the grift for as long as possible. He won't do anything that might be held against him during an election. So it's always the safe route for him.

PJ Media's Megan Fox. She did all the heavy lifting for me, exposing Cruz' very empty resume in Congress. Check out the article
here, it's well worth the read. But allow me to excerpt this one passage as she shows the dearth of serious legislation sponsored by Cruz during his time in Congress:
"Looking through his legislative history, Cruz is on a bunch of bills that haven’t gone anywhere. The most recent bills that passed the senate are the United States Army Rangers Veterans of World War II Congressional Gold Medal Act and the Ghost Army Congressional Medal Act. I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t seem to be all that important to me considering we are facing the most insane takeover of personal freedoms in our lifetimes. (And also, what’s a Ghost Army? Is this an episode of Scooby-Doo? What are they doing in D.C.?) The most recent bill that became a law with his name on it “establishes measures to monitor, report on, and address corruption and human rights abuses in Nicaragua.
And don’t forget the bill to 'designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 909 West Holiday Drive in Fate, Texas, as the "Ralph Hall Post Office".' Thank God for Ted Cruz, the defender of … the right to name a Post Office after a politician."
And now today, we see Cruz again, "grilling" some nobody from the FBI about provocateurs and undercover agents at the Jan 6 riot. Everyone is making whoopie over this, but what did it accomplish? This chick is sitting in her office (why don't they drag these bums into the Chambers and make them face the music face to face? Screw Covid protocols!) with her shoes off under the desk simply saying "I can't answer that" to every question she was asked. So what was accomplished? Nothing. As usual. Oh Cruz gets more props for being a "tough guy," but other than giving himself some quickie clips for his Facebook page or Twitter feed, we got nothing out of his grand performance. Just like the hearings on the Tech moguls, just like anything with Fauci, etc.
I may like listening to him opine in interviews, but this do nothing Senator doesn't belong behind the Resolute Desk.
