After weeks of playing nicey-nice and hailing their "unity," the mask is starting to slip for Senate Democrats at the extremes of the spectrum: According to the Washington Examiner: Sens. Joe Manchin and Bernie Sanders had a tense exchange during a closed-door meeting about President Joe Biden's social spending plan on Wednesday, marking the latest flare-up between the pair of ideological opposites who are both members of the Senate Democratic Caucus.(Snip) Suffice to say, both Manchin and Sanders have their careers on the line regarding this bill and one of them gets the political death knell if the other one gets his way.

How is Sanders' career on the line? His commie sycophant followers will continue to follow him anywhere. They will attempt murder for him (see Steve Scalise for confirmation of this).

I think it's his legacy. He doesn't have much time and everyone knows he got rich while in office which is his actual legacy thus far.

Manchin is a senator from a state that overwhelmingly voted for President Trump. He is being abused by his fellow Democrats. A senate Republican leader worth his salt should have by now made an offer that Manchin couldn’t refuse. Switch parties and end the harm the Democrats are inflicting on the country. Mitch McConnell, beloved by the flaccid Republican establishment and often described by them as a master tactician and strategist, hasn’t been able to flip Manchin. He probably hasn’t even tried. A Lyndon Johnson certainly would have been able to do so.

I think Manchin could beat the poop out of him if it came down to that, which I hope it does.

Bernie has always been mean. Born a mean old man. I would love to see Manchin fight, though. About time.

I expect that in return for dropping out of the primaries, Bernie was promised that he'd get to draft the remaking of America. Now his payoff is faltering at the starting gate. He's gotta be mad - two campaigns abandoned, and all he's got to show for it is a lousy house on the lake.

My late brother dealt with Bernie years ago when he was mayor of Burlington. My brother sadly was to the left of Teddy Kennedy but found Bernie to be a huge and arrogant jerk, as well as a fiscal fool.

People like Manchin, for some reason. Somehow, it takes a very strong person to reverse a lifelong delusion that the only good politician is a democrat. But Manchin could greatly increase his stature by actually having the courage to change parties. Might take something like electrical shock therapy to snap him to his senses, however.

Sanders is 80 & knows,though would never say,that the midterms will destroy dem in the House & Senate. That means this is his one & only chance to bring socialist Hell to US. Once this fight gets carried into 2022 the election year survival mode kicks in for a lot of dem in Red & Swing states. So there is only a few months left. Manchin & Sinema are standing in his way & the fact he can't move them is driving Bernie even more crazy. He stupidly made enemies of them with his insults & threats. Now each has great reasons to sink him & there is nothing he can do to them😆

Biden gives strongest signal he’s ready
to move to end Senate filibuster

Posted by PageTurner 10/22/2021 10:59:33 AM Post Reply
Joe Biden has given the strongest indication yet that he is willing to end or whittle down the Senate filibuster as a means of overcoming Republican intransigence and moving ahead with reforms to voting rights, the debt ceiling and possibly more. Speaking in Baltimore a day after Senate Republicans yet again blocked major legislation designed to secure access to the ballot box for all Americans, Biden expressed mounting frustration at the filibuster which effectively gives the conservative minority a stranglehold over large swathes of policy.

A Riverside high school teacher has been placed on leave after a viral video recorded by a student showed her hollering and dancing around a classroom in a fake feathered headdress, sparking outrage from the Native American community, school officials and local politicians. The video, which was posted online on Wednesday, shows the teacher chanting a mnemonic device — “Sohcahtoa,” often used in math courses to remember trigonometric functions — while stomping around the classroom and making chopping motions. The video has more than 3.7 million views on Twitter and hundreds of reactions on Instagram. The Riverside Unified School District released a statement on Thursday, saying the teacher’s

Migrants from Central American countries and Haiti are turning to technology to organize a caravan headed toward the country's capitol where they intend to ask immigration officials there for help establishing their refugee status to avoid getting deported from the country. A QR code is being shared among migrants that links to an online consent form saying the person agrees to pay for their own travel expenses. The announcement is in Spanish and Haitian Creole, according to the organization Pueblos Unidos Migrantes. Most migrants are heading north from Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico after growing frustrated while waiting for permission from Mexico's National Institute for Migration to stay in the country as refugees.
Border arrests have soared to all-time

U.S. authorities detained more than 1.7 million migrants along the Mexico border during the 2021 fiscal year that ended in September, and arrests by the Border Patrol soared to the highest levels ever recorded, according to unpublished U.S. Customs and Border Protection data obtained by The Washington Post. Illegal crossings began rising last year but skyrocketed in the months after President Biden took office. As CBP arrests increased this past spring, Biden described the rise as consistent with historical seasonal norms. But the busiest months came during the sweltering heat of July and August, when more than 200,000 migrants were taken into custody.

New York City has reverted to a pre-Giuliani-era "Shattered" urban hellhole, with crime, homelessness, rats, and garbage completely out of control. What is New York's City Hall concerned about? But of course: Removing a statue of Thomas Jefferson, given that as an 18th century grandee of his time in Virginia, he owned slaves by inheritance. According to the New York Post: A city commission voted to remove the statue of Thomas Jefferson from the City Council chamber by the end of the year — though the body is still debating where to send the monument to the Founding Father.

Later this month, private- and public-sector “leaders” will meet in Glasgow, Scotland. Nearly all will fly to the conference, many in private jets. And what will they talk about? Saving the climate from greenhouse gas emissions, of course. The United Nations Conference of Parties on ​​climate change, the 26th version of this long-running clown show, starts Oct. 31 and will run through Nov. 12. Media coverage will be both intense and obsequious; attendees, especially the ever-smug John Kerry, “special” climate envoy to the president, will speak in somber tones due to the seriousness at hand; warnings of impending doom will be issued; and absolutely nothing will be accomplished.

Is there anything Democrats can't do ... to kill off America's innovators and entrepreneurs? Sure as heck not, given their latest sneaky plan to discourage small -- and I mean really small -- business. According to Jessica Pate, writing at Issues & Insights: The INFORM Consumers act would impose new requirements and burdens on the millions of people who run small businesses. Similar bills introduced in more than a dozen state legislatures are generally supported by big-box retailers eager to siphon online money back to their stores. Lawmakers should reject them all.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who it turns out has been away on family leave these past months as America's supply chain has collapsed, has finally come out of the woodwork. Did he come out to announce how he's making the situation better? Nope, what brought him out was some harsh, criticism by Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who asked if Missing Pete on family leave was trying to learn how to breast-feed. Yes, it was tasteless, but that's hardly a burning issue to anyone else but Pete, given his larger and more important point. According to Mediaite, the exchange went like this:

Voters, according to multiple polls, are repelled by the Democrats' $3.5 trillion "reconciliation" spending plan, the largest government spending bill in human history. Rasmussen found that 53% of likely voters are against it, including 41% who are dead-set against it. I&I/TIPP found that 51% of independent voters wanted nothing to do with it. Pew found that less than half of voters wanted the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill, while the centrist Washington policy group No Labels found that 60% of voters agreed with Sen. Joe Manchin on the need for a "strategic pause" to consider the implications of this much porkulus. NBC News delicately reported that the bill represents "some risks"

A movie prop masters union has told members it was a live round and not a blank that Alec Baldwin fired at a female cinematographer on Thursday in New Mexico, killing her and wounding the movie's director in a tragic on-set accident. Halyna Hutchins, 42, died shortly after being shot by Baldwin around 1.50pm Thursday at Bonanza Creek Ranch, near the city of Santa Fe in New Mexico, where they were filming the movie Rust. Joel Souza, 48, the film's director, was also hurt and spent several hours in hospital, but was released later the same evening. Police have disclosed few details about the shooting, saying only that

Unvaccinated Americans are more likely to die of non-Covid causes than those who got their shots, a new report finds. Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) compared deaths among those aged 12 and older who got any of the three authorized vaccines in the U.S. to teens and adults who did not. Deaths due to causes unrelated to the virus were up to three times more likely in unvaccinated people than those who got either the Pfizer or Moderna Covid vaccines. And non-COVID-19 fatalities were nearly twice as likely among Americans who were not jabbed compared to those who received the one-shot

Preliminarily, it is tragic that 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins, a rising cinematographer in Hollywood, died yesterday on the set of Rust, a movie being filmed in Santa Fe, New Mexico. My thoughts are with the loved ones she left behind. Having said that, I cannot escape a feeling that karma had a hand in this one because the finger on the trigger of the gun that killed Hutchins belonged to Alec Baldwin, a hysterical leftist who is fanatically opposed to the Second Amendment. To give a sense of Baldwin’s hostility to gun rights, in 2018, the smug and constitutionally illiterate Baldwin had some harsh words for Dana Loesch, an NRA spokeswoman

First things first. National Review Editor Rich Lowry is not a “die-hard” Trump fan. We’ll offer several examples later in the article — but let’s first get to the business at hand. As Lowry sees it, it’s a fool’s game to overestimate Trump’s dominance of the Republican Party this far in advance of the 2024 election. Lowry writes, in an op-ed posted by The New York Post on Friday, that Republican politicians who think the Republican Party belongs to Trump can be forgiven, given that he not only survived two impeachments and the January 6 attack against the U.S. Capitol; he has since continued to thrive.

But forget about the substance, bad as it is, and focus on her behavior at the podium, which was, frankly, bizarre enough to suggest something is deeply wrong. Watch her arms in this clip. It’s only 26 seconds long, so I recommend watching it first with the sound off. Watching a second time with the sound on does nothing the ameliorate the utter weirdness

Things are not sounding good as more information comes out about the incident in which Alec Baldwin shot a cinematographer and the director on a movie set Thursday. Now there are reports that there had been a lot of problems before the shooting – that the crew was upset about long hours, low pay, and having to commute 50 miles from Albuquerque instead of staying in Santa Fe. According to the Los Angeles Times, the camera crew walked off the production just hours before the shooting: As the camera crew — members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees — spent about an hour assembling their gear at the Bonanza

Somehow, someone made the decision to let Joe Biden out and to go to a CNN town hall. I’m not sure who thought this was a good idea. But even within the friendly confines of CNN, it was a complete train wreck — even by Biden standards. Naturally, most of the questions from folks in the audience were Democrats or softball questions. But there were some highlights and it was disastrous. Let’s start with the creepiness and the incoherence. Here’s Joe Biden claiming that top corporations “don’t pay a cent” in taxes with that creepy stage whisper voice.

The NSBA Board of Directors apologized in a memorandum to members on Friday. The initial letter, sent on September 29, asked the administration to investigate whether alleged threats to school-board members, over masking policies and “propaganda purporting the false inclusion of critical race theory” in lessons, necessitated federal investigation.

Mrs. Biden is a college teacher. “The White House has a lot of bedrooms,” Mr. Biden replied with a smile. “She went like this,” he told host Anderson Cooper before making a pointing gesture. “Down the hall,” the first lady then said, according to Mr. Biden.
