Yesterday, Forrest Gump wrote it may mark the beginning of the end of the Uniparty. So, I unglued myself from the computer, popped some corn, and sat down to watch the sausage being made. I would watch them censure Tlaib, fail to expel Santos and censure MTG. Two out of three ain't bad? Sorry, this isn’t baseball, where .666 would be phenomenal.
Today, I feel like Charlie Brown, betrayed by Lucy and the football. 23 'Republicans' voted NOT to censure Tlaib. If 21 of them had not voted or voted present, she would have been censured, 200 to 199. And it was such an easy call, it must be considered as Johnson's first failure.
The next may be passing an Israel Aid package of 14 Billion separately, offset by a 14 Billion cut of IRS (the 80,000 new agents authorized by the Income Reduction Act). The ’non partisan’ CBO(the definition of an oxymoron), just came out and said it would cost close to 27 Billion, not a simple tradeoff. I don’t have the skills to do the math on that. 'The Hill' has the list of the spineless. To their credit,13 Democrats did not vote.
'A wide array of members from the GOP Conference voted to table the resolution, from House Freedom Caucus Chairman Chip Roy, R-Texas!!, to moderate Rep. John Duarte, R-Calif'.
‘Some of the “conservatives” on this list are claiming they couldn’t vote to censure Tlaib because my resolution called Oct 18th an insurrection. These same “conservatives” have never lifted a finger to help Jan6 defendants. They could care less that they are rotting in jail. This is why Republicans NEVER do anything to stop the communists, Democrats, or ever hold anyone accountable’.!!!' MTG wrote that on X. Profundity, thy name is MTG.
Remind anyone who asks that the $14B was designated to “develop” a “free” online tax return “app.” That puts it in the same category as the “free” ObamaCare app. That $14Bil is intended as payola for consultants, “stakeholders” and developers and friends of the IRS. Not only is that “app” not needed, it will never be “built.” Omitted: the cost to maintain such an abomination - there are simply too many ways that will go wrong to address now. Best to stick to the first clutch of payola.
Always amazes me the creation of all these "soon to fail" programs are meant to fix already failed programs. What all these federal agencies so desperately need are complete and thorough evaluations based on rational modern-day criteria. They've created autocratic monsters that fail to function properly and often willy-nilly. I believe it's called streamlining and modernization. I mean ALL federal agencies.
Bingo, a winner. That $145B was always such a huge number no one ever believed it was for more IRS agents. Even the rank and file IRS agent knew it was for something else. There were lots of guesses as to what the money would be used for. But I think we all knew the answer. It was going to turn the IRS into the strongarm agency of the DNC. Remember what Obama wanted to do with his police force and you can see where this is going. That the House hasn't fully rescinded the funding tells you a lot about the state of the House today.
The deal was all the private companies who developed the software millions use would not end up being developed if they were to compete with an IRS product - that would be worse, and clunky, and probably buggy to boot. A good example of govt getting out of the way. Wish it could happen more often.
There are already "free" products on the market. But they don't support more than the very simplest returns nor do they do the state returns. So this new one would likely be the same, with the added bonus of making low income folks even more dependent on Big Brother.
The censure vote on Tlaib aggravated the hell out of me yesterday, especially when Max Miller (OH) was one of the 22. Some may recall, Trump had this guy on stage at one of his Ohio rallies to help his campaign. Trump gave him a YUUUGE push.
Well Max, you're toast. You stooped low and out of bounds.
“…our children racially profiled by the police, unfairly pushed out of schools or locked up in disproportionate numbers.”
Maybe that’s because your children commit a hugely disproportionate amount of the crimes in this country. It isn’t hordes of white teens who are breaking windows and cleaning out entire stores like Apple, Target and Athleta, just to name a few of the recent events. Not to mention the weekly mass shootings taking place in demonicrat run cities. As Chris Plante says, “It’s not our guns. It’s your sons.”
And that inclusivity thing? That includes everyone EXCEPT whites. Our voices have been taken away. It’s long past time to rectify that.
Personal responsibility has been replaced with "but Johnny was bullied when he was in grade school". Everyone gets a second, third and fourth chance today regardless of the crime. Until we address and fix this, laws mean nothing.
The blood of the October 7th innocents cries out to God for vengeance. I pray that God grants victory and destruction to the barbaric enemies of Israel, the Squad, democrats, and everyone who refuses to condemn the horrific slaughter.
And may God return our country to its Judeo-Christian roots.
You are not wrong. We pray, God moves, but individuals must respond. It is not beyond God’s ability to make hearts receptive. I don’t have faith that people can achieve that goal without God.
Said it many times before but God didn't create this mess, we did. He gave us a thinking, rational brain and expects us to use it for good. He's waiting......................
Perhaps that's why Jesus asked WHEN I RETURN WILL I FIND FAITH? FAITH WORKS. Not to be confused with faith the noun. WORKING FAITH. Constant. Enduring to the end.
To say our current immigration system is broken is not correct. The current system works, it's just that people don't think it should take so long to become an American so it's now okay to just break into the country. We have allowed this to happen and politicians only see the benefit in more voters. They don't look at the danger that is inherent when you allow anyone to just walk into the country.
they don't realize that they are the target (high population blue cities = higher casualty counts). they have absolutely no awareness that the 3 letter agencies are inept as they search for Christian value "domestic terrorists'... fools
By "they" I think you mean the ignorant cult that supports the corrupt officials in their party. The ignorant and uninformed always find out when it is too late to save themselves. As for the officials, they just assume that power brings a certain amount of wealth and protection I guess. They are fools though because if they would just read an hour of history about other countries that now identify as "communist" or that were communist controlled they would see that in the end very few are safe and manage to avoid what the rest of society has voted upon themselves.
We don’t accept their behavior, motives, thinking and actions. We are called to love our enemies. That IS a tall order. I pray that the wrath of God will bring them so down to the pit, that in their suffering, they call out to Jesus for salvation. Still, illegal actions must be paid for in jail, or execution.
The majority of House Dems stand behind these anti-Semites. Tlaib just survived a censure vote with all Dems present voting to table the motion aided and abetted by 20 RINOs and Squishes. Thirteen Dems were absent from the chamber for the vote so maybe some of them could not vote to save Tlaib but were afraid to go on the record. Anti-Semitism is alive and well in the modern Democrat Party.
I sincerely wish I could share Don's optimism about all this, but reality intrudes. Demography is the determinative factor these days, and I am afraid that the demographics are trending toward more, not fewer of representatives like "The Squad." It is clear that the democrat party, formerly composed of hard working coal miners, steel and auto workers is now composed of people whose work ethic is notable only for its absence, led by damagogues whose sole motivation is to accrue and retain power. The unifying factor in democrat politics is purely one of racial animosity against whites and those currently in power are doing everything they can to import more such potential voters. People who vote in a sincere desire to better the country will soon be, if they are already not in the minority, replaced by people whose sole motivation is to elect someone who "looks like them," because they have no understanding of or motivation to discharge the responsibilities of citizenship. I am confident that every member of "The Squad" will be reelected if they run again, unless they are replaced by someone even more radically opposed to traditional American values.
Truly, the cognitive dissonance humans can live with is a marvel. I never understood what God meant when the Bible said "their hearts were stiffened" until a few years ago.
The Three Stooges reference was brilliant, and yet the Three Howard Brothers and Larry Fine were genius compared to these four women. And yet they don’t want to be known as women but rather be called “estrogen producing front holes.” I will shorten their designoto just four assholes.
In fact, in an episode of M*A*S*H, when the character of Winchester addresses three Korean visiting doctors as Larry, Curly, and Moe, they inquire as to who they are. Winchester replies that they are great philosophers, deeply respected and highly revered among their fellow countrymen.
Moses Jerome and Samuel Horwitz with Larry Feinberg I met Moe when he was at the WHmotion picture home for the Ages. He had a full head of white hair and looked about 5’1” in height. But to me on that day he was a giant. He and his brothers and best friend Larry, where the joys of my youth.
There was a news documentary on how she steals the election. She buys votes, there were lots of nursing homes with 100% participation. Would be 110% if they thought they could get away with it. Might try it next year. Of course the info/doc was removed quickly.
I for one, believe that the Marxist Democrat Party has been long overdue for a political purging. Having Bernie Sanders and his wife, using the system to gain their wealth and all the while a proclaiming to be a Commie and then you have Chuckie Schumer, pro war spending on needless and excessive programs. The crimes against the public purse are endless.
The squaws of the squalid squad are all detestable.
They are all a disgrace, even compared to the other democrats in congress.
This is one of the hardest polls on record.
Tlaib is a disgusting human, but………
Omar wins the vote. She was not born here and never should have been allowed to enter the country since she lied about her marriage and who knows what else.
Mr. L: I was at my favorite pizza place last night, which happens to be across the street from Schwartz's Deli. I brought home almost a pound of smoked meat. ($32 Cdn) Going to be having smoked meat on toasted bagels with mustard. Dill pickles on the side.
This, believe it or not, is a very Montreal lunch. Schwartz's is on bvld St-Laurent, well-known for its Jewish history and food. Moishe's steak house, it has since moved to Old Montreal from St-Laurent Bvld., is also a Montreal classic and was the best steakhouse in town, pre-pandemic. Not sure since it moved.
Unfortunately, Don, the four Mice that Roared are the symptom, not the disease. Polls show only about a quarter of under-27 Democrats support Israel. Young people are vital to Slow Joe's re-election campaign, which explains his waffling on Israel's retaliation. Sadly, those folks are going to grow up, and I suspect many (if not most) are likely to retain these attitudes toward the Jewish state. In a couple of generations, Israelis seem likely to be confronted by either a United States that (like Britain) is essentially indifferent to the Jewish state, or, possibly, one that is actively hostile.

Every single law, program, and regulation should have a sunset clause attached that requires a vote of congress to continue funding.
These programs (we've got a ton of them in Canada) create well-paying jobs with good pensions. You can never cut them.
They are failures by design/job security.
The government breaks it then offers to fix it. They steal your watch and then offer to tell you what time it is as you no longer have a watch.
What they need is to be shut down. And throw away the keys.

Don't they call that two-faced?
Yep. Possibly a RINO in training?
I understand, just another RINO
Chip Roy belongs to NFT, I think. Maybe he has an explanation.
I think Roy took the same hallucinogen as Scalise.
And yet, he has 100% Conservative voting score-Liberty Standard-does not compute.
If I'm not mistaken Roy strongly supported McCarthy as speaker over Jim Jordan. That isn't a move a true conservative would make.
You're right- The Liberty Standard score is illogical.
I do not - I wish I did...☹️
MTG called him Colonel Sanders. 🤣
GOP-- They are pathetic. Hard to know what else to say. Disappointing but unsurprising. These people hate their voters.
Another reason for bringing back TRUMP. MEAN TWEETS 2024.
Tweedledee, Tweedledum, Tweedledumber, and Tweedledumbest.
I prefer traitordee, traitordumb, traitordumber, and traitordumest.
Their only goal is to destroy our country.
Ooh, that's good!
Agree.

It should read “grants victory to Israel”
IMO Omar shouldn’t have been granted entry into this country.
Another thought: if the squad and their ilk can’t accept us how are we supposed to accept them?
Remember they don’t want to be accepted, nor accept us: they want to conquer and dominate.

I share your concern. The education system is to blame. Children are being taught the founders were evil, slave owning white men.

Indeed!
In fact, in an episode of M*A*S*H, when the character of Winchester addresses three Korean visiting doctors as Larry, Curly, and Moe, they inquire as to who they are. Winchester replies that they are great philosophers, deeply respected and highly revered among their fellow countrymen.
FWIW-Moe, Curly and Shemp were brothers in real life. Larry was the brains. Shemp took over for Curly, who had a stroke.
The Stooges reference cuts even deeper. The Horwitz brothers and Larry Feinberg were Jewish!!
The squalid squad may be hurt more by this than anything else.
Moses Jerome and Samuel Horwitz with Larry Feinberg I met Moe when he was at the WHmotion picture home for the Ages. He had a full head of white hair and looked about 5’1” in height. But to me on that day he was a giant. He and his brothers and best friend Larry, where the joys of my youth.
Awesome!! I think I know every episode with Jerome by heart and most with Samuel.
In real life, they were comedic geniuses.
Every episode was a blessing (even the Joe Besser ones) Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk.
all 3 holes
Diversity: a point in every direction is no point at all.
A world of Sammy Glicks. What Makes Sammy Run?
Married to her brother, illegally I might add... And my fellow Minnysotans elected the beeotch. MPLS is corrupt at best.
The dense Somalian community in Minnesota elected her.
The community brought to us by one B. Hussein 0bama.
There was a news documentary on how she steals the election. She buys votes, there were lots of nursing homes with 100% participation. Would be 110% if they thought they could get away with it. Might try it next year. Of course the info/doc was removed quickly.
. . . yet still just about the only non-homosexual marriage condoned by leftists

Democraticide! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!
Fingers crossed!
Well played, Chief-'The Palestinian Wingers have become Never Bideners. Tlaib can be their Billy Kristol'.
Don, another brilliantly written column. The opening paragraphs had me laughing so much I could hear cymbal crashes.
Will you be here all week?
