Who Runs the USA?
Posted By: Imright, 7/13/2022 9:34:25 PM
The issue of who runs this country is one of the central issues, if not the central issue, of the 21st century. Begin with the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution. “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States of America.” The people’s representatives meeting at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 clearly considered the sovereign power of this country to reside with its people acting through their elected representatives

Starting with the organic rise of the Tea Party in 2008, a slate of enthusiastic patriots announced their candidacy for public office. The goal was to stop President Barack Obama’s leftward tilt while also changing the elitist GOP agenda, which too often seemed “uni-party.”
Fast forward to Donald Trump’s historic 2016 White House win. “America First” MAGA candidates threw their hats into various campaign rings—city councils, state legislatures, and Congress. Yet, no matter how hard many Tea Party and MAGA candidates worked, most could not compete with GOP coffers that easily paid for radio spots, television ads, colorful billboards, and glossy flyers that promoted the same Establishment candidates
On Wednesday, the former owner of the infamous Studio 54 nightclub in Manhattan died by assisted suicide in Switzerland.
Mark Fleischman bought and reopened the now defunct club in 1981 after the previous owners were jailed on tax evasion charges. The club was a haven of sex, drugs, and chaos, where stars like Andy Warhol, Liza Minnelli, and Diana Ross once partied.(Tweet) The 82-year-old Fleischman fell ill with an undiagnosed condition that destroyed his quality of life in 2016.

Jeffrey Rosen had a secret on January 6, 2021.
The then-acting attorney general—Rosen was appointed on December 24, 2020 to replace departing Attorney General William Barr—had assembled a team of elite and highly skilled government agents at Quantico, a nexus point between the FBI and U.S. military, the weekend before Congress met to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election. At the same time he was rejecting President Donald Trump’s last-minute appeals to investigate election fraud, Rosen was managing a hush-hush operation in advance of planned rallies and protests in Washington on January 6.
“Rosen made a unilateral decision to take the preparatory steps to deploy Justice Department
Secret Service agents deleted text messages exchanged around the time of the Capitol riot, according to a government watchdog that sought the communications as part of their investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection.
The Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General said messages sent between Jan. 5 and 6 were deleted “as part of a device-replacement program,” according to a letter to lawmakers, dated Wednesday, obtained by the Associated Press.
The messages were erased after OIG requested electronic communications between the agents during its probe into the Capitol siege.
A new report from the Committee to Unleash Prosperity claims that most of President Biden's top officials have no business experience at all.
Economists Stephen Moore and Jon Decker analyzed the work records and resumes of 68 officials, including Biden himself and his Cabinet members, advisers and regulatory officials.
Moore has been a frequent commentator on tax issues and advised Trump on his tax plan, along with former GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain. Along with Larry Kudlow, he helped pen the Trump 2017 tax cuts.

The U.S. Congress continues to hold hearings on the Capitol riots that flared up on January 6, 2021. But it continues to turn a blind eye to the extreme negligence of Democratic officials, whose poor security decisions laid the groundwork for the Capitol building siege.
On Thursday, House Democrats adopted an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would give the Washington D.C. mayor the authority to call up the D.C. National Guard.
“The House adopted an amendment to the annual defense spending bill on Wednesday that would give the mayor of Washington, D.C. authority over the capital city’s national guard,” the Hill reported.
As we previously reported, Republican Latinas who are either running for office or who are already there have been under attack in recent weeks by terrified leftists and their media allies, both of who are proclaiming these women are out of the mainstream of Hispanic thinking or something simply because they don’t all think the same way socialist Democrat Latinas like Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) do.
For example, just last week, the New York Times hit out at newly elected Rep. Mayra Flores (R-Texas) as well as Republican House nominees Monica De La Cruz and Cassy Garcia (both also from Texas), calling them members of the “far-right,”
Former President Donald Trump says he has made a decision about running for President in 2024; the announcement of the decision will be at a later date.
Trump told New York magazine that the “big decision” is whether to announce before or after November’s midterm elections.
“Well, in my own mind, I’ve already made that decision, so nothing factors in anymore. In my own mind, I’ve already made that decision … Do I go before or after? That will be my big decision.”
Trump added that most of the people vying for a 2024 run have no chance in the primary, according to the polls.
Recently, CNN’s New Day has been on a streak of providing fairly objective reporting. Alas, it was a streak that Don Lemon decided to end this Thursday morning, ambling over from his nightly slots for what seemed to be a monthly Festivus tradition of his: complaining that the media isn’t doing enough to attack Republicans. Essentially openly opposing new CNN boss Chris Licht’s reported desire to bring CNN back to journalism and away from Lemon’s brand of partisanship.
The reason Lemon graced the TV screens at such an early hour was apparently due to an interview on Wednesday evening, where former Proud Boys spokesperson Jason van Tatenhove expressed
It was a news story that burst onto the national headlines shortly after the Supreme Court issued its decision that Roe v. Wade was unconstitutional and abortion is an issue to be handled by the states.
The details were disturbing: A 10-year-old girl in Indiana was allegedly raped and impregnated, and thus, was referred to Ohio for an abortion to terminate the pregnancy.
The mother now says that “everything is a lie” about the headline-grabbing story. She was interviewed behind a door by Telemundo following the father’s confession for the crime. MRC Latino shared the footage.
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) raised more than $3 million in the second quarter, bringing her total haul for the 2022 cycle to $15 million-plus.
Stefanik took over as House Republican Conference chairwoman in the spring of last year, replacing Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), now vice chairwoman of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. But even before Stefanik was elevated, the now-third-ranking House Republican was making a name for herself among grassroots Republicans across the country, raising decent money for herself and her colleagues in the process.
'Many' US Secret Service text messages written between January 5 and January 6 last year have been deleted, the Homeland Security Inspector General said in a stunning letter on Thursday.
The messages were allegedly erased after the inspector general's office asked the law enforcement office for electronic communications as part of its probe into the US Capitol attack.
The letter, first obtained by CNN, is addressed to the top members of the House and Senate Homeland Security Committees.
The House panel told DailyMail.com it would be opening an investigation into the matter.

Pope Francis said in an interview Tuesday that President Joe Biden's claims to be a faithful Catholic are "incoherent" because he publicly advocates for abortion. (snip) The Pope said in the interview with Mexican journalists from Televisa Univisión that from both a spiritual and a scientific point of view, life begins at conception, and anyone who denies that cannot coherently call himself a Catholic at the same time. He said that unborn children deserve the dignity of life (via Catholic News Agency): (snip) As for the defense of abortion by the U.S. president, Pope Francis stated that he leaves it to Biden’s "conscience.”

A white woman riding a Queens MTA bus was bashed in the head during a confrontation with three Black passengers who told her they “hate white people,” police sources Thursday. The incident is being investigated by the NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force. The 57-year-old victim was riding a Q53 bus in Woodhaven when she got into an argument with three Black women or girls about 6:50 p.m. Saturday. As the exchange heated up, one of the women hit the victim over the head with a blunt object, leaving her bleeding from the head, police said. “I hate white people...the way they talk,” the victim recalled her attackers
Eco-zealots are slashing tires on SUVs across the globe in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The Tyre Extinguishers movement, which started in the U.K., has spread to the United States and leaders promised to 'expand massively' in the coming weeks.

Residents in Chicago; San Francisco, California; and Scranton, Pennsylvania were also targeted by the climate activists.
Snack and Die Early

Recently, I sat in my airplane seat before takeoff and watched a parade of the obese squeeze down the aisle. Many seemed barely able to shuffle through the narrow space; how they would maneuver their bodies into the 18”-wide seats that awaited them was another mystery.
Never was it more evident to me how unhealthy our society has become than witnessing that performance. I estimated that at least half the passengers on the airplane appeared sufficiently overweight to be clinically obese. How did this happen?
“Something to drink, sir?” asked the polite flight attendant as she passed my row. She placed the famous Southwest snack mix package

As we previously reported, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was mocked by comedian Alex Stein, who made comments about her “booty” as she passed by him going up the Capitol steps. She later had a meltdown over it, saying that she had intended to “deck” him, and blasting the Capitol Police for–in her estimation–not protecting her/doing anything about it.
On Wednesday evening, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, “I posted about a deeply disgusting incident that happened today on the Capitol steps, but took it down bc it’s clearly someone seeking extremist fame.”
“It’s just a bummer to work in an institution that openly allowed this,
Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Thursday awarded President Biden the Israeli Presidential Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest tribute. The Israeli Presidential Medal of Honor is bestowed on individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to Israel or humanity. It has been awarded to 26 people since it was initiated in 2012. “You have been a faithful, lifelong friend of the state of Israel and the Jewish people. Your tireless advocacy of the enduring U.S.-Israel partnership in word and in deed has withstood the test of time,” Mr. Herzog told Mr. Biden at a ceremony in Jerusalem.(Snip)Mr. Biden is the first person to receive the award since 2014.

A conservative legal organization filed a federal civil-rights complaint against Dick’s Sporting Goods on Thursday for sponsoring staff abortions while failing to provide equivalent paid maternity care to employees.
America First Legal (AFL) asked the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to open a civil-rights investigation into the company, alleging multiple violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on parental status.
After the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade, Dick’s announced a special employment benefit of “up to $4,000” in travel reimbursement for an employee, spouse, or dependent
White House COVID-19 adviser Anthony Fauci conceded Wednesday morning that COVID-19 vaccines don’t protect “overly well” against the virus.
Speaking during a Fox News interview, Fauci told host Neil Cavuto that “one of the things that’s clear from the data [is] that … vaccines—because of the high degree of transmissibility of this virus—don’t protect overly well, as it were, against infection.”
But Fauci said later that the vaccines “protect quite well against severe disease leading to hospitalization and death” before he made note of his recent COVID-19 diagnosis.
Republicans Are Favored to Win the Senate
24 replies
Recently there has been a spate of stories about Republicans’ difficulties in taking over the Senate. These analyses typically focus on candidates’ poor polling numbers in key states and the weakness of the Republican recruiting class.
These aren’t absurd analyses; I’ve referred to the battle between the overall electoral environment and Republican candidate quality as “the irresistible force versus the immovable object” in previous columns. Had the Republican Party fielded its A-team in states like Georgia, Pennsylvania and Arizona, we probably would not be talking about Democrats even having a shot at retaining the Senate.
At the same time, we shouldn’t get carried away.
