It is clear that Kevin McCarthy has sufficiently bent the knee not just to Trump but also to Marjorie Taylor Greene and that she will be dictating what 'Investigations' and other activities a House controlled by the GOP will engage in, should they win.
On the docket will be :
- one for sure but likely 2 if they can squeeze it, Impeachments of Biden and maybe some others
- investigations into Fauci and the CDC re covid
- Hunter Biden investigation
- Corporation investigation re 'cancelling' and being 'woke' and not donating to the GOP

Marjorie Taylor Greene: 'Investigations' for Companies Not Donating to GOP
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, has promised "investigations" for corporations that stopped donating to GOP politicians who supported former President Donald Trump's claims of a "stolen" 2020 election.
Greene said during a Wednesday appearance on former Trump adviser Steve Bannon's War Room podcast that, should Republicans regain control of the House following next month's midterms, GOP representatives would target corporate donors that refused to continue financial support to those who supported claims of massive fraud in the last presidential election.
The congresswoman was among the majority of House Republicans who voted against certifying President Joe Biden's victory during the joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021—when an angry mob of Trump supporters who believed the former president's election fraud claims breached the Capitol in an ill-fated attempt to stop the certification.
Greene said that it was "ridiculous and wrong" for companies and lobbyists to stop donating to Republicans after the insurrection, suggesting that GOP politicians would pursue revenge after Bannon asked her whether corporations needed to "fear" a "populist House."
"Let's just put it like this," Greene responded. "You know what they did after January 6th, Steve? They stopped donating—all the lobbyists, all the big corporations stopped donating to a whole bunch of my Republican colleagues that they used to donate to. They said, 'oh no, we can't support you because of the big lie,' or whatever they want to call it."
The congresswoman argued that "half" of the country was "sick and tired" of "woke corporations," which she predicted would eventually be vanquished by a "patriot economy."
The nature of the congressional investigations that Greene has predicted is unclear. Corporations and lobbyists do not have any legal obligations to donate to any particular politicians or political candidates.
"That's not going to be forgotten by a whole bunch of my Republican colleagues, because that was really ridiculous and wrong," she continued. "There is going to be investigations coming. And there should be, because the way corporations have conducted themselves ... I've always called it corporate communism."
Greene went on to say that corporations "probably should get a lawyer." She urged them to stay out of politics and focus solely "on customer service."

She is issuing a clear threat and advising them in advance to they should consider lawyering up. Of course that could all go away and any corporation could get out of the potential gun sights, if they just take the threat seriously and start giving them (and her) money again.
