Ronald Reagan's Warning

Original Article

Posted By: Mercedes44, 10/8/2023 10:10:54 PM

The free-fall that is now the Republican majority in the House of Representatives is a needless self-inflicted political wound that only serves to distract the GOP caucus, and the nation at large, from the very real crises facing America. Rather than focus on the open borders that are transforming our nation's cities into migrant camps and threats from foreign adversaries such as the Chinese Communist Party, we are engaged in recriminations and intraparty personal feuds. Rather than tackle a crippling debt of nearly $33 trillion, we are witnessing a political drama associated with selecting a new Speaker of the House. Rather than advance American energy independence,

I surely do miss President Reagan. I consider myself blessed to have lived at a time that he was our President.

Sorry, Lawrence, but we've been trying to "focus on the open borders" and "tackle a crippling debt" and "advance American energy independence" and "confront those who would seek to steal the results of the next presidential election" but too many rino's in the House aren't interested. This isn't about "intraparty personal feuds" or "parsing possible votes" or "recriminations and arguments". It's about getting the one governing body we control whipped into shape and united behind what's right for the country.

There was a free fall. That has stopped. Republicans now have someone in charge and it ain’t Mitch McConnell. Finally political action that has achieved results. Cooperate with Biden while you have bargaining power and you’re out. About time. Good work Mr. Gaetz. Nice to see someone in the Republican Party has backbone and knows the meaning of politics.

Get a crip Larry. The Republicans aren't in any position to do much of anything. With such a small majority in Congress and a minority in the Senate, nothing was ever going to get accomplished until they have majorities in the Congress, Senate, and the White House. Even then, the Republicans will have to fight those in the same party over almost everything. So, while media types like yourself wring their hands over the goings on in Congress, your average taxpaying Republican puts his head down and works to make it through another day just waiting to cast their vote in 2024.

Soon enough they will choose another speaker of the House, hopefully Jim Jordan, and things will be better for the GOP. This article sounds more like an establishment gripe at McCarthy's demise than the GOP in crisis.

Kadish has a brain like a Knish - we are focused on open borders that are transforming our nation's cities into migrant camps and threats from foreign adversaries such as the Chinese Communist Party. But we had RINO's that were part of the uniparty and doing nothing. Getting rid of McCarthy was something that need to be done when the R's got the majority, but he promised he'd have more backbone and he didn't. So shut the heck up.

Freefall? How is voting a freefall? The Speaker seres at the pleasure of the majority of the House. McCarthy didn’t serve the majority’s pleasure.

FTA: " Rather than tackle a crippling debt of nearly $33 trillion, we are witnessing a political drama associated with selecting a new Speaker of the House. Rather than advance American energy independence, "we are parsing possible votes for former Speaker Kevin McCarthy's replacement. And instead of confronting those who would seek to steal the results of the next presidential election, we are engaged in recriminations and arguments about who and what sparked the historic firing of the Speaker." Kadish, You're an imbecile. McCarthy was facilitating all those items you enumerated rather than fight em! Now perhaps, we can accomplish some of those goals, which would NEVER have happened under "Deep State" McCarthy.

The absence of a Speaker in the House is insignificant. McCarthy had to go because he was doing more harm than good to the overall performance of the Republican party. The timing turned out to be rather unfortunate but it had to be done.

While this sounds all smart and glib - it misses the root problem. The problem is RINOs infecting the Party who are more interested in filling their bank accounts than in doing the People's business properly, and have not the slightest compunction about working with the Dems to do it and stymie all Republican effortsto solve real problems.

Less than 48 hours after 20 US Democratic Senators urged President Joe Biden to push for the establishment of a Palestinian state as part of a normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia, Iran's Palestinian terror proxies launched a massive attack on Israel, killing more than 700 Israeli men, women and children, and wounding thousands more. An unknown number of Israelis (estimated at more than 100), including infants, toddlers and an elderly Holocaust survivor in a wheelchair, have also been kidnapped and taken to the Gaza Strip.
Germany’s shifting political landscape

The German states of Bavaria and Hesse vote in regional elections on Sunday, in what is widely being seen as a test-case for Germany’s shifting political landscape. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is set to make gains in both states, although most other major parties have ruled out collaboration with it. While Sunday’s elections are not expected to yield drastic outcomes, they will indicate the extent of the AfD’s grip on the regions. They could also send a clear message to the federal government as dissatisfaction mounts over key issues including inflation, immigration and climate policy.

The book has received approval from Khamenei's office and is thus the most authoritative document regarding his position on the issue. Khamenei makes his position clear from the start: Israel has no right to exist as a state. He claims his strategy for the destruction of Israel is not based on anti-Semitism, which he describes as a European phenomenon. His position is based on "well-established Islamic principles." According to Khamenei, Israel, which he labels an "enemy" and "foe," is a special case for three reasons.

You almost have to feel sorry for the anti/never-Trumpers. They thought Donald Trump was done all the way back to the Mar-a-Lago raid. When that didn't get rid of Trump, along came multiple indictments. Surely four indictments and 90-plus charges would do it. But much to their disappointment, Donald Trump's poll numbers remain as strong as ever, and he has a commanding lead over any of his Republican presidential challengers. All that winning is starting to wear on the anti-Trumpers, and it appears they may be ready to yell "uncle" and come to the conclusion that Donald Trump's supporters are not going anywhere.

A New York appeals court judge on Friday rejected Donald Trump’s attempt to stop the ongoing $250 million civil fraud trial, but temporarily halted the process of breaking up the former president’s businesses. Associate Justice Peter Moulton issued the ruling after a brief hearing Friday afternoon. It leaves Trump’s empire untouched for at least another month and perhaps offers the former president and his family a glimmer of hope. Trump sought to put Judge Arthur Engoron’s surprise summary judgment order last week that he is liable for fraud and must cancel business certificates for many of his business entities on hold pending further appeal.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Thursday defended his administration’s decision to waive 26 federal laws in South Texas to allow for construction of roughly 20 miles of additional border wall, saying he had no choice but to use the Trump-era funding for the barrier to stop illegal migration from Mexico. Asked if he thought such walls work, he said flatly, “No.” The new construction was announced in June, but the funds were appropriated in 2019 before the Democratic president took office.

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump has dropped his $500 million lawsuit against Michael Cohen, his former lawyer and fixer who is now a key witness in a criminal case against him, Cohen and a Trump spokesperson said Thursday night. But the former president did not waive his right to sue again. Trump had accused Cohen of “spreading falsehoods” “with malicious intent” and causing “vast reputational harm” for talking publicly about hush-money payments made to women during Trump’s 2016 campaign that are at the heart of criminal charges he faces in New York.

The far-right Alternative for Germany is currently polling between 19% and 23% nationally, according to data compiled across eight different platforms. Support for the AfD comes in well above the Social Democrats (SDP), the Greens, and the pro-business Free Democrats (FDP), who currently make up Germany’s coalition government. AfD secured a district council for the first time in June, in the eastern town of Sonneberg in the state of Thuringia, and many are looking to see whether other electorates will follow suit.

Throughout her campaign, James dog whistled about Trump’s illegitimacy as President, engaging in a brand of naughty thinking and speaking that Democrats regard as treasonous when applied to their drooling, vacant, staggering “President” — Joe Biden.

Former Vice President Mike Pence is blaming President Trump and other GOP rivals for the 2024 presidential nomination–but mainly Trump–for the attack by Hamas on Israel. In back to back attacks in a speech in Iowa on Saturday and a CNN interview on Sunday, Pence accused Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy of “appeasement” and “signaling retreat.” Pence said in an interview on CNN’s State of the Union, “This is what happens when we have leading voices like Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Ron DeSantis signaling retreat from America’s role as leader of the free world….When I’m President of the United States, we’ll lead from American strength.”

A scheduled “picnic” sponsored by the University of Nevada Las Vegas law school’s Environmental Law Society has been renamed “Lunch by the Lake” due to “diversity and inclusion” concerns. According to a memo obtained by Libs of TikTok, the law group informed members that the word “picnic” has “historical and offensive connotations,” and apologized for “any harm or discomfort” caused by its use. The group’s view mirrors that of the University of Michigan’s IT department from several years ago: “Picnic” was included in a “Words Matter Task Force’s” list of offensive words and phrases along with “brown bag,” “blacklist” and “long time, no see” among others.

After brutally massacring over 600 Israelis and then suffering some retaliatory strikes from Israel, the bloodthirsty jihadis of Hamas now want a truce. The Israeli government is virtually certain to get immense pressure to agree to such a truce, but this is actually the last thing that Israel should do at this point. Even before the magnitude of what Hamas perpetrated in Israel was fully known, calls for a ceasefire became a talking point. Leftist opinion makers from the ridiculous (Antony Blinken) to the absurd (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) began calling for a ceasefire so quickly that the Babylon Bee zinged them with a riotous headline: “Emperor Hirohito

Netanyahu's speech began with some descriptions of the horrors Hamas inflicted on innocents: "This war was forced upon us by a dreaded enemy, animals that kill men, women, children, and the elderly. Children handcuffed that were executed with the rest of their families. Young people were shot in the back, executed, and other horrors that I will not describe here." Netanyahu warned that several Hamas combatants are still within Israel, but that Israeli forces are working around the clock to root them out

The surprise attack by Hamas on Israel suggests a massive intelligence failure as the Israeli government appeared blindsided by the infiltration of Hamas fighters across the southern border and the launch of thousands of rockets. The Hamas assault by air, land and sea also raised questions as to why U.S. intelligence agencies apparently did not see it coming, experts and former intelligence officials said. U.S. officials said that if the Israelis knew an attack was imminent, they did not share it with Washington. “We were not tracking this,” one senior U.S. military official told NBC News.
