Congressional Hispanic Caucus

Democrats who run the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) have blocked a freshman Latina Republican lawmaker from joining the group. Mayra Flores, who flipped a long-held Democratic House seat along the U.S.-Mexico border earlier this year, said she was refused admission by the CHC because of her party affiliation. "As the first Mexican-born American Congresswoman, I thought the Hispanic Caucus would be open to working together," said Flores. "This denial once again proves a bias towards conservative Latinas that don’t fit their narrative or ideology." The CHC is the largest working group within Congress for lawmakers of Hispanic and Latino descent.

Comments:

Once again, Dems show how inclusive they are[n’t].

So, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus does not even pretend to represent the issues of Hispanics. They outright declare that they represent the interests of the Democratic Party.

So you have a Republican Hispanic, that won a seat, being denied into the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. The expected Red Wave just grew in size.

Same for the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC). NO blacks allowed if you're a Republican. Only those that align with the Democrats beliefs and view points are allowed. Neither the CHC or the CBC hides that fact. They openly state "Republicans are NOT allowed". Has nothing to do with race, it's only party that matters. That's why ALL Democrats vote in lock step. One mind, one party.

Proof that they aren't about race. They are about ideology. Who is most likely to be admitted to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus? A. Nancy Pelosi B. Maxine Waters C. Bernie Sanders D. Mayra Flores Perhaps they should change their name. The Congressional Liberal Latino Caucus? The Congressional Lefty Latino Caucus? Perhaps they can be more inclusive. The Congressional Communist Caucus? Oh. Does that already exist?

So, today's Progressive Democrat party only believes they have an exclusive club, huh? Maybe they need to rename their clique -- PDOCHC (progressive democrat only congressional hispanic caucus).

One reason is that many of these liberal caucuses are front operations for corporate contributions and donations to campaigns and pet projects. You certainly would not want a smelly Republican around finding out about the graft and corruption. One thing that the new House should do is require that all outside donations be directed through the Speaker's office before they are handed over to any congressionally approved caucus. All expenses would also be disbursed by the Speakers office or whatever financial operations exist in the Congress for such purposes. The Speakers office would tabulate and release the information on all these grants and expenses in the cause of transparancy.

Mayra: You're an American (citizen) so who needs an Hispanic Congressional Caucus. You say that Hispanics have the same values as other conservative Americans so be bold and say no more caucuses based on ethnicity, race, etc.

Like many Hispanic or Black Congress members who wish to join the Hispanic or Black Congressional Caucus, they are Hispanic or Black; just not the right kind of Hispanic or Black! You must follow the expected liberal social Democrat agenda to be accepted or you are not really Hispanic or Black. Maybe members like Flores can start the Congressional Conservative Minority Caucus or simply the Congressional Conservative Caucus and welcome conservatives of all races. That would show that Conservatives are really the ones who are willing to work together with others (inclusion, equity...)

CHC has 33 members...there are 10 Repubs who were denied membership. Ergo they discriminate against nearly 30% of the Group they claim to "Represent", just as the other democrat caucuses regularly discriminate for Men against women candidates/officeholders, for whites against black candidates/office holders, for ANYONE over Asian candidates/officeholders...while claiming to speak for those particular societal subsets. Not only is that discriminatory, it is also dishonest, and UN democratic.

In addition to claiming that their results were wrong, she insisted that there were part of an "insidious" plan to affect the media narrative.

United States Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) hit the airwaves to connect the recent assault on Paul Pelosi with “fascism” and “white nationalism.” She insists that both are now ubiquitous. And both prompt increasing politically motivated violence. (Ocasio-Cortez remains oblivious to the greatest sustained political violence in our recent history; the 120 days of Black Lives Matter and Antifa-fueled rioting, arson, looting, and mayhem of summer and fall 2020—often cheered on or defended by public officials and social media.) The deplorable violent attack on Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), has been described as the logical reification of increasing bitter political discourse.

It didn’t have to be this bad. History isn’t on President Joe Biden’s side heading into the 2022 midterms. The president’s party averages a loss of 28 House seats and four Senate seats in midterm elections. The present isn’t being kind to Joe Biden either. Inflation is out of control. Gas prices are sky-high from coast to coast. And Biden’s reputation for competence hasn’t recovered from the Afghanistan debacle, which showed the world his staff really aren’t the "adults in the room" they claim to be. Yet these headwinds only tell half the story. Joe Biden and Democrats have managed to make things worse. From attempting to buy off their base with marijuana

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are demanding that the Biden administration preserve documents related to the ongoing crisis at the southern border -- as Republicans lay the groundwork for investigations and hearings on the matter in the next Congress. Reps. Jim Jordan, the ranking member, and Tom McClintock, the ranking member of the immigration subcommittee, wrote to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding the agencies preserve documents and materials related to border security. "Committee Republicans intend to continue our oversight of the causes and consequences of the unprecedented Biden border crisis into the 118th Congress,"

The liberal New York Times has a popular podcast simply called “The Daily,” and unsurprisingly, it airs on nearly 300 taxpayer-funded National Public Radio stations across America. Host Michael Barbaro is so soft-spoken you could argue he is the anti-Limbaugh. But that does not mean he’s always calm and reasonable. On October 20, Barbaro brought on Times polling analyst Nate Cohn to discuss how the latest Times/Siena College poll contained ominous news for Democrats. The show began as a straightforward analysis of how Democrats grew optimistic about maintaining their control of Congress because the top issues were abortion, gun violence, and the January 6 Committee (aka “democracy”).

Election day is two weeks away, and the Left is freaking out about losses among minority voters such as Blacks, once a reliable base of support. The signs of the freakout are everywhere, but especially in the desperate, wacky, and downright insulting tactics they are currently employing to lure, nudge, and shame Blacks into voting for liberal candidates. Let's start with the insulting. MSNBC host Tiffany Cross slammed the Republican National Committee's slate of "diverse" Republican congressional candidates, saying "faces of color do not always equate to voices of color."

Twelve days before the election, Democrats have yet to lose the House or Senate, or confront the dire, your-lab-results-are-back-and-the-doctor-needs-to-see-you implications for a progressive agenda. Plenty of prominent party voices, however, believe it’s best to prepare in advance. It is one of the more notable features of the 2022 midterms — the readiness to perform an autopsy on a living patient. Many Democrats believe there is already sufficient evidence to make the question unavoidable: What the hell is our problem?

The US dollar is flying high. For much of the world this is a tragedy, as currencies around the globe depreciate and economies come under strain as a result. But it's not just non-US citizens, businesses and governments that are feeling the pain. Some American businesses are also feeling headwinds on their revenues from the surging greenback. While American tourists relish their cheap holidays in the UK and Japan, and importers enjoy cheaper goods from abroad, US exporters and businesses with international operations are experiencing losses as their products and services become too expensive for foreign buyers.

Here in Philadelphia, over 400 homicides and 1,000 carjackings have already been reported thus far in 2022 – and those figures are not unique among major cities. Thanks to progressive leaders who refuse to enforce the law, violent criminals are roaming free and American families are left to feel unsafe.

Democrats are privately "panicking" over Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman's debate performance Tuesday night and expressing regret over his decision to debate Republican opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz, according to NBC. The Democrat's lingering health problems due to a stroke he suffered in May resulted in a debate performance that some said was "painful to watch." Some Democrats felt Fetterman hadn't been transparent about the degree of his speaking difficulties and criticized his campaign for agreeing to the one and only debate. "[F]ellow Democrats are second-guessing his decision to appear on stage five months after a stroke — and some question whether he should have remained on the ballot at all,"

Moderates who once embraced former President Bill Clinton's opportunistic "third way" are now either irrelevant or nonexistent.
