Filling legislation or calling for government action or investigation that parrots Trump's latest outrage or temper tantrum is kind of what Andy Ogles does. Trump expresses displeasure with something, and Andy Ogles immediately calls for an investigation to go after whoever offended Trump, or he introduces legislation to address whatever annoyed Trump. Ogles is like the little lap dog, always ready to please. He is kind of pathetic. Here are some examples of kiss-ass actions by Ogles.
Third-Term Constitutional Amendment: In January 2025, following reports of a federal investigation into his own campaign finances, Ogles introduced a House Joint Resolution to amend the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to allow Donald Trump to seek a third term. Ogles described this as "imperative" to give Trump "every resource necessary to correct the disastrous course set by the Biden administration".
Anti-DEI/Pro-Trump Legislation: Ogles has filed articles of impeachment against judges who previously ruled against the Trump administration.
He proposed the "Make Greenland Great Again" bill, following Trump's public interest in purchasing the island.
Oversight of Opponents: Ogles has demanded investigations into organizations and individuals deemed to be opposing the Trump agenda, such as calling for a Department of Education investigation into Belmont University over "shadow operation" concerns.
After a Feb. 8th President Trump Truth Social post saying the Bad Bunny half-time show "absolutely terrible" and "an affront to the Greatness of America," Andy Ogles sprang into action. In a letter to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, Ogles argued the show was inappropriate for family viewing. and called for an FCC investigation.
The FCC does have some authority to regulate the content broadcast over the airways. The FCC was established to assign and regulate frequencies. Since bandwidth is limited, it was determined that some order was needed to regulate who had what position on the dial. Also, the argument goes, that since the airways are the "public airways," the government should have some say in what is broadcast over the airways, and the broadcast should be in the public interest. Such authority does not extend to live streaming of internet content. The same logic does not apply. Since the Super Bowl is broadcast over public airways, the FCC does have some oversight.
In response to Ogles request, the Federal Communications Commission requested transcripts of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show from NBC and reviewed them. Commissioner Anna Gomez said she reviewed the transcripts of the performance after she learned the commission had requested them. She told the media that she found "no violation of our rules and no justification for harassing broadcasters over a standard live performance." The New York Post reported that the FCC does not plan to review the matter further, barring further evidence, citing a source familiar with the matter.
I guess that's it. Trump has a short attention span and probably will let the matter drop unless someone can keep him riled up. He has tariffs and war with Iran, and stealing a mid-term and a lot more important matters to worry about. However, I don't know. Anna Gomez is a Hispanic. That might be a factor. Trump may decide to fire her, deport her, or return to this matter to stir up his nationalistic anti-immigrant base. With a dip in the polls, he may need to divert attention and throw the base some red meat. I can see the argument now, if not stated, then implied: A deep-state Hispanic bureaucrat protects a Puerto Rican performer from the consequences of his smutty halftime show. Hopefully not.
Meanwhile, Andy is waiting, standing by to anticipate what his master wants him to do next, craving that pat on the head.
