Peter King, the outspoken New York Republican, will likely get to serve at least one term as chairman of the Homeland Security Committee--a post he held briefly in 2005 and 2006, before the Democrats took over the House the following year. Issues relating to national security and terrorism don’t seem to fade away, and the committee is likely to be a high-profile one in the next Congress.

Other ranking members likely to grab the chairperson slots include Oklahoma Representative Frank Lucas at Agriculture, Alabama Representative Spencer Bachus at Financial Services, Texas Representative Lamar Smith at Judiciary, and Florida Ileana Ros-Lehtinen at Foreign Affairs, and Dan Lungren for the House Administration.

Here is a full list of chairs:

Committee on Agriculture: Rep. Frank Lucas, Oklahoma
Armed Services Committee: Rep. Buck McKeon, California
Committee on Education and Labor: Rep. John Kline, Minnesota
Committee on Financial Services: Rep. Spencer Bachus, Alabama
Committee on Foreign Affairs: Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Florida
Committee on House Administration: Rep. Dan Lungren, California
Committee on the Judiciary: Rep. Lamar Smith, Texas
Committee on Natural Resources: Rep. Doc Hastings, Washington
Committee on Rules: Rep. David Dreier, California
Committee on Science and Technology: Rep. Ralph Hall, Texas
Committee on Small Business: Rep. Sam Graves, Missouri
Committee on Standards of Official Conduct: Jo Bonner, Alabama

United States Election 2012 Tee Off At The Boston Tea Party On Halloween.

.

Author: Jordan C. Fan, Prophet of Environmental.

.

This Halloween, the Pirates of the Caribbean somehow managed to steal the ghost ship - "The Black's Pearl" and sailed it to the U.S.S. Constitution at the Boston harbor. The ghost pirates then dumped all those black tea cargo into the Atlantic Ocean. The Democrats' failure in this election were not only the result of this 2010 - 2012 GOP golf match tee off at the Tea Party but also because of Obama's mishandling of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Athough they cannot get rid of Harry Reid in a hurry even Tiger Woods could not save the day .

.

This oil spill in the Gulf was intended to be a Supernatural punishment from the Environment for Congress to allow additional offshore drilling. The U. S. cannot benefit or even profit from such disasters. Asking B.P. to pay a $20 billion fine had deeply offended and insulted Great Britain. It was also a "skeleton in the closet" for Rep. Ike Skelton of the House Armed Services Committee and other Democrats to treat the Saudi with $60 billion worth of weapons sale. They have offended the Israel and the Jewish people. The voters didn't like Ike and Republican Vicky Hartzler was victorious over Ike Skelton. When Great Britain and Israel are gone, the United States have lost all its major allies. The lesson and My Revelation is:

.

If they were going to "trick or treat" at Number 10 Downing Street in London, be careful about Jack the Ripper standing behind them with his sharp razor. He will give each of them something more than a close shave. The Ripper will invite them to this gravity defying, forever away from Earth, "Tea Party" at Mary Poppin's haunted house in London where her china will continue to rise above the Earth.
