Congressman Cleaver is Sworn in for his Eighth Term in Congress
January 3, 2019
(Washington, D.C.) - Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, II, (D-Missouri) was sworn in today for his eighth term as a United States Congressman. He also delivered the opening prayer for the historic occasion.
“The mid-term election brought a new era for the American people. It has been eight years since a Democratic majority ruled the House. As I took my oath today, I was reminded that now more than ever, members of Congress must demonstrate civility and respect for one another and work together through our disagreements,” said Congressman Cleaver.
Congressman Cleaver will continue to fight for the protections of home owners, consumers and business owners. As technology continues to rapidly expand, Congressman Cleaver will remain an advocate for oversight and accountability within the industry.
Today, the new Democratic Majority will get to work to make progress in the lives of seniors, children and hard-working Americans. That involves:
- Defending protections for people with pre-existing conditions, keeping Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid off the chopping block, and lowering health costs and prescription drug prices for all Americans;
- We will raise workers’ wages with strong economic growth by rebuilding America’s infrastructure;
- We will clean up corruption to make Washington work for the American people, reducing the role of money in politics and advancing fair elections by strengthening the Voting Rights Act.
“I am looking forward to serving the constituents of Missouri’s Fifth District for another term. With each new Congress there is a chance for a new beginning,” said Congressman Cleaver.

His remarks & prayer today to start the Congress . . .
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO-05)
In recognition of father Patrick Conroy and in unbridled optimism for this prayer, please join in. Almighty and enduring God whose lordship is just and true, we bough in recognition of that God-ship and this haloed and consequential moment of inaugurating a speaker to preside over and provide leadership to the House of Representatives of the United States. May we temporarily hush our preoccupation with vexing considerations that deplete our energy and consume our hours to seek now from thou whose immaculate voting record demonstrates on thee guidance. We pray, O Lord, for wisdom sufficient to lean not only on our unaided privilege and power, to embrace our summons, to address the great challenges of this day, fraught with tribalism at home and turbulence abroad.
Thou who has the whole world in his hand to thee we pray for inner resources, to rise as a legislative body above political selfishness and then shrink to a level of a level of and penitence that would be in harmony with your will. And when we leave this place, we will with your blessing launch a bold attempt to become the architects of a kindlier nation that is purging itself of any and all prejudices which degrade the unmatched blessings you have awarded the people of this great nation. Inspire us, the members of this August body, to dedicate ourselves to the healing of open sores in a land where there is far too much mistrust of those who are different.
Led now in this temple of governance by the Speaker and leaders of both sides of the political aisle, we pray for your presence in this place. We need thee every hour, O Lord, how we need thee. When we're puzzled, guide us with your hand of direction.
when we're worn and weary, grant us light to find a just and fair way, and when we're confused, ignore our priorities and pet projects so that any diminutive success may give you the glory. We have now this prayer, o Lord, Amen.

May not always agree with the Congressman but I understand it's important for Kansas City to have a place at the table and Cleaver's role for this session is going to be extraordinarily important in helping to get the help we need from the feds.
ReplyDeleteOverall, no matter which side of the aisle you stand, this is really an important day for the nation.
Talking about corruption, he must be talking about Jackson County and Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteSpoken like a true King of the Carwash
ReplyDeleteWas that stupid cunt Sharice there?
ReplyDelete^^^^Call a doctor for that Sharice-derangement syndrome shit-flake! You’re melting down!
DeleteDid the cleave force them to let him say the prayer just so they’ll know who he finally is after two decades in office!
ReplyDeleteRinse, repeat, recycle. We’ve heard all this before rev car wash, walk the walk if you’re serious about s.s, medical and lower health care and prescriptions, let’s see how long it takes you before you give up on these promises......... again
Getting rid of Corruption in politics? There won’t be any demmocrooks left in office then! Hahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteFair elections? KC is the king of corrupt TDD elections.
ReplyDeleteNever let one of these get near your wallet. You'll end up living in poverty.
ReplyDeleteThe Democratic definition of "Tribalism" = if we don't get absolutely, categorically everything we want and you unconditionally surrender, then, YOU are a racist!!!
ReplyDeleteLet us pray. Lord grant Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi the strength to go home and shovel the piles of shit off the sidewalks for her own constituents.
ReplyDelete"We will clean up corruption to make Washington work for the American people, reducing the role of money in politics and advancing fair elections by strengthening the Voting Rights Act."
ReplyDeleteCleave wants to do this after he has received all of his handouts.
More Troops To Be Deployed To Southern US Border; Will Build 160 Miles Of Fencing
ReplyDeleteKeep the tribes out!
What a complete hypocrite!!!
ReplyDeleteChuck, you are Absolutely correct sir!!!
ReplyDeleteBy tribe does he mean tattoo etched young whites with piercings and nose rings or something else?
ReplyDeleteThugs with backwards oversized ball caps, hoodies, and baggies 4:15.
ReplyDeleteDems want to reduce the U.S. to tribes.
I can imagine the majority of the Dems fell asleep during Cleavers speech. Or pulled the barf bag out in the seat in front of them.
ReplyDeleteCleaver should come home and take over the role of Superman
So how are the snowflakes doing these days with the adults back in charge?
ReplyDeleteIt just occurred to me that there's a very big contradiction gong on here at TKC. Something that needs to be pointed out.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many angry, Conservatives here pointing out the shortcomings of everyone else and making a lot of noise about how nobody works as hard as they do. But if you check closely, all of their comments are made during the day when they should be at work.
So it's actually right wing bums who don't have jobs who want liberals to work for them.
That is very strange and might be something worth considering if you think about some of the comments. Just lies because people don't like what they are seeing in the news.
It's not that I love Cleaver or care about what he's doing but I just think some of these comments sound like angry grandparents who are also living off the dole.
They're called "geezers," 4:40 and they infect this splendid community the way negroes infect urban areas.
DeleteGunna bring home da bacon fur da fabulous Kansas Shitty
ReplyDelete@4:40 You get your degree from Stupid State University or something?
ReplyDeleteAgree them lazy bum deplorables need to start contributing.
ReplyDeleteNancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi
ReplyDeleteThe middle class is the backbone of our democracy. It has been so since the birth of democracy itself. #ForThePeople
ROFLMAO!
Lifetime politicians. What could possibly go wrong?
ReplyDeleteDems get anything done today? Besides yapping?
ReplyDeleteMuzzies' pedo god won't like that prayer. =8^/
ReplyDelete@4:40 The posters you refer to are the hipsters from the crossroads district who work the night shift.
ReplyDeleteBabylonian Priesthood
ReplyDeleteI can see it now. Sharice Davids and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fall in love with each other and then the left touts them as the first lesbian minority socialist couple in congress.
ReplyDeleteIf they could have offspring, can you imagine how stupid and helpless it would be?
Delete440. Pay into social security for 45 to 50 years and then begrudge people concerned about their community.
ReplyDeleteCleaver should develop a plan to decrease murders among his people.
^^^ Bullshit you fucking liar, you don’t give a shit about your community and you know it! You just want to post racist shit and feel good about it! Own your shit liar! Do you want a medal for paying into social security? That’s what you’re supposed to do! No get offf here and do something productive!
ReplyDelete^^^ Like show your wife what a real dick looks like and what it can do that you can't???
Delete^^^^Don’t dude...you got knocked the fuck out!!!!!!! Stay down, stay down!
DeleteSly trolls are sensitive today. Not found your next gig yet snowflake? Tell us about your military service, volunteer work for charities and service on community boards outside your safe space.
ReplyDeleteCleaver and all the Democrats are cuntholes that want to give this country away
ReplyDeleteSo? What are you going to do about it? Post insults on a blog for retarded geezers? Oh...you’re do tough!
Delete
ReplyDeleteCleaver needs to read the bible and learn what God says. He's NOT a Christian, so I don't think he knows who he's praying to.
^^^^Judge not-lest ye be judged. You fucking hypocrite. Enjoy hell.
Delete^^^ shut the hell up already, momma cleaning up your safe place and that makes the poor baby grumpy..... awwwwww
ReplyDelete6:52 liberal meltdown in progress! Your idiotic and boring posts just prove you’re losing the battle, calling everybody racist just proves how retarded you are. Sad.
ReplyDeleteTrump wins.
ReplyDeleteStupid diaper troll dude active tonight.
ReplyDelete"As I took my oath today, I was reminded that now more than ever, members of Congress must demonstrate civility and respect for one another and work together through our disagreements." ----Congressman Carwash
ReplyDeleteNote to Carwash:
“Thou shalt not steal.”
“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”
“Thou shalt not commit adultery.”
Why do conservatives mock prayer?
ReplyDeleteDisgraceful fake christians.
