Is Chuck Schumer Serious With This Speech?
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 11/13/2024 4:57:34 PM
Outgoing Majority Leader Chuck Schumer took to the Senate floor Wednesday and called for bipartisanship after falsely claiming the 2024 elections were "close." "To my Republican colleagues: I offer a word of caution in good faith. Take care not to misread the will of the people and do not abandon the need for bipartisanship. After winning an election, the temptation may be to go to the extreme," Schumer said. "It's consistently backfired on the party in power."

Question for Trump to solve: Just how

President-elect Donald Trump has promised to crack down on the southern border and deport those here illegally.
But the million-dollar question left by the Biden administration: Just how many people is that?
A recent House Judiciary report says that “For almost four years, Americans have watched as President Joe Biden and border czar Vice President Kamala Harris have abandoned the southwest border and welcomed nearly 8 million illegal aliens into the United States.”
But that 8 million is likely an undercount — and perhaps by a lot.
The House Committee on Homeland Security estimated in the spring that there would have been 10 million encounters during Biden’s four-year term.
The elitist attacks on Donald Trump’s defense secretary pick Pete Hegseth show exactly why Democrats lost the election in a landslide.
Intelligent, articulate, patriotic, a graduate of Princeton and Harvard, a combat veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, with two Bronze Stars, Hegseth, 44, is an inspired choice to lead the Pentagon and rid it of the woke poison that has sent recruitment levels down the toilet.
Not only that, but he has a tattoo of “We the People” on his arm, a visible sign of his America First commitment to the Constitution, whose first words remind us that America at its founding rejected rule by elites.

A therapist who treats illegal immigrants says her phone has been ringing off the hook since President-elect Donald Trump was declared the winner in the November election.
Muriel Casamayor, a licensed therapist who works with immigrants living in the U.S. legally and illegally, claims she hears daily from people who are horrified by Trump’s pledge to embark on the largest deportation program in the country’s history, according to local San Diego outlet KPBS. The president-elect had long pledged to conduct mass deportations, and the GOP made it part of their official platform ahead of its convention in July.
“There’s a lot of fear, a lot of uncertainty, a lot of anxiety,”
MSNBC legal analyst Andrew Weissmann said Wednesday on “Deadline” that President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as his attorney general marks the United States’ entry into “pure George Orwell 1984 land.”
Host Nicolle Wallace said, “On Monday, he made the announcement that he would turn to recess appointments. It’s obvious that this trio of Fox News anchors, Matt Gaetz, whose biggest war in Washington is with Kevin McCarthy, and Tulsi Gabbard, was what the recess appointment was all about.”
Weissmann said, “Yeah, I sort of had two reactions to this announcement, and one is very similar to yours,
Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) said Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead” that President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as his attorney general was a “red-alert moment for American democracy.”
Murphy said, “I was walking off the Senate floor just moments ago when the news was announced. You could literally hear the jaws dropping to the floor of Republican senators who are now going to be in a position to stand up to Donald Trump in a way that they have been unwilling to.”
He continued, “Matt Gaetz is dangerously unqualified. That’s not the worst of it. Gaetz has been Trump’s chief defender when it comes to Trump’s assault on democracy.
The actress playing the title role in Disney’s upcoming live-action “Snow White” reboot posted a lengthy anti-Trump rant on Instagram in response to the election results.
Actress Rachel Zegler wrote, “May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.”
In the post, she complained that her infant daughter may never get to have an abortion.
“I find myself speechless in the midst of this. Another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world I do not want to live in. Leaning us towards a world that will be hard to raise my daughter in.
After four years of Biden-Harris, US truckers are ecstatic about President Trump’s victory. They’re eager for the economy, and their businesses, to recover and thrive.
Seventy percent of all US freight moves by truck. Thanks to our great highways and efficient truckers, we can enjoy pineapples in winter and get fresh eggs and milk, no matter how far from a farm we live. Under Joe-Kamal, food prices hit record highs. But in normal conditions, food and consumer products stay affordable because stores depend on fast, reliable deliveries, reducing the need to hold excessive inventory. This cuts costs on real estate, rent, insurance, and labor—savings that are passed along to consumers.
The left is melting down over President-elect Donald Trump's choice of Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense.
As I reported earlier, Sen. Elizabeth Warren attacked him as "unqualified," perhaps not even understanding he was a decorated veteran with a 20-year military background. But she claimed authority to say that since she "leads" a military personnel panel in the Senate and her brothers served. So you know the Democrats are going to try to fight Hegseth's approval. But Warren got buried by people in response on X.
Warren wasn't the only one losing her mind. Some in the defense world were upset and Scott Jennings took down the critics on CNN.
Folks on the left are losing their minds over President-elect Donald Trump picking Fox News host Pete Hegseth as his Secretary of Defense.
Of course, they're concentrating on the "Fox News" part — which is really frosting them — without bothering to look at the rest of Hegseth's resume. Perhaps one of the worst responses was this clueless tweet from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). [Tweet]
It sounded like she didn't have any idea of Hegseth's military background since she claimed she respects "every one of our service members."
Warren is not respecting Hegseth when she attacks him this way. Hegseth got a B.A. from Princeton
President-elect Donald Trump has been busy announcing appointments to his future Cabinet and to his White House staff, and whether you love all his picks or don’t, it’s nevertheless been high-quality entertainment to watch the reaction to them on social media. The naming of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense has so far caused the most liberal tears, but the announcement that Trump is choosing Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz as his attorney general is sure to cause many leftist heads to explode.
So far, I don’t see that many progressive meltdowns—they’re probably too busy crying in the bathroom—but more are sure to come.
In an interview on Tuesday, former Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos responded to President-elect Donald Trump's plan to eliminate the Department of Education.
DeVos made the remarks in an interview with Fox News.
"President Trump will need to partner with Congress to actually get that done, but there are many steps that can be taken to re-empower states and local communities and importantly, families," DeVos said in the interview about for former president's plan and give power back to the states.
"The bureaucrats at the Department of Education aren't doing the job. They haven't done the job for more than four decades to close achievement gaps, they've only widened," she added.
On Tuesday night, as Matt covered, President-elect Donald Trump announced that he had selected Pete Hegseth to serve as his Secretary of Defense. The reaction was swift and severe at times, with some denigrating Hegseth's service by focusing more so on his current role as a Fox News host. Perhaps the most shameful take came from the DNC War Room, which not only went with such a tactic, but also went after Trump by resurrecting thoroughly debunked claims about him and his regard for veterans.
"Donald Trump should focus more on our military and less on Fox News. Pete Hegseth isn’t just unfit – he’s dangerous:

Eva Longoria says she’s anxious and nervous for Americans who can’t “escape” their “dystopian country” following President-elect Trump’s White House win.
“The shocking part is not that he won,” Longoria told Marie Claire in an interview for its November cover story conducted two days after Trump triumphed in the presidential race.
“It’s that a convicted criminal who spews so much hate could hold the highest office,” said Longoria, who campaigned for Vice President Harris and spoke at the Democratic National Convention in August.
“I would like to think our fight continues,” the former “Desperate Housewives” star said. But,

Hollywood star Jamie Lee Curtis, who endorsed Kamala Harris’ unsuccessful bid for the White House, is the latest left-wing elite to quit X/Twitter following President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory on election day.
Jamie Lee Curtis appears to have nuked her X account early Wednesday. The actress posted a screenshot of the deactivated account to her Instagram profile. (X) Curtis didn’t provide a reason for quitting X. Instead, in her Instagram post, the actress quoted from the Serenity poem. “God, grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change. Courage to change things I can. And the wisdom to know the difference,” she wrote.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is reportedly doing “terrible” after President-elect Donald Trump’s victory and Republicans taking the Senate and retaining the House majority.
CNN’s Manu Raju asked the 84-year-old California lawmaker how she is doing, to which she replied, “Terrible.” (X) Pelosi’s apparent dour mood comes one week after Trump’s historic comeback victory, sweeping all seven swing states as well as winning the popular vote.
“THANK YOU GOD!” Trump said in an all caps post, this week, walking through his stunning victory stats.
Britain’s top left-wing newspaper, The Guardian, has announced it will no longer post on Elon Musk’s X social media platform over “far-right conspiracy theories and racism” and Musk’s decision to campaign for Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election.
The international pushback against Elon Musk following Donald Trump’s victory last week went into full swing on Wednesday, with The Guardian quitting the X platform, claiming that its “resources could be better used promoting our journalism elsewhere.” In a blog post pinned to its X profile, which boasts nearly 11 million followers, the left-wing establishment paper wrote: “We think that the benefits of being on X are now outweighed by the negatives.”
[Now we must focus on the very important chairmanships of the senate committees that John Thune will decide.]
In the first ballot the results were: Thune 23, Cornyn 15, Scott 13.
Scott was removed and the Senators went to the second ballot between Thune and Cornyn.
As expected, the Scott coalition split 50/50. Thune picked up 6 votes from Scott’s group. Cornyn picked up 7 votes from Scott’s group.
Final Vote: John Thune 29, John Cornyn 24.snip)If we want to change the dynamic, we must repeal the 17th amendment and return to the original constitutional construct: Senators appointed to represent the interests of each state, by State Legislature.

Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) has been elected Senate majority leader, setting the stage for him to replace retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who has held the top Senate GOP leadership job for the past 18 years.
Thune has served as Senate Republican whip, the No. 2-ranking position in the Senate GOP leadership, since 2019, and largely managed operation of the Senate floor since McConnell suffered a concussion from a fall in 2023.
Thune beat Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) by a vote of 25 to 24, according to two sources familiar.
Special counsel Jack Smith reportedly plans to retire before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January, denying the incoming president a chance to fire him.
Smith, who oversaw the federal criminal cases against Trump related to the 78-year-old’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election and the hoarding of classified documents, is wrapping up his work ahead of the 47th president’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025, the New York Times reported.
Smith’s plan is to get ahead of Trump’s promise to “fire” the special counsel within “two seconds” after being sworn in, sources told the outlet.
ABC News executives are reportedly actively searching for a conservative, pro-Trump voice to join the panel on The View after its woke stars all backed Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
The talk show - co-hosted by liberals Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Sara Haines as well as Republican Trump critics Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin - featured the vice president in an episode just one month ahead of the election.
Then, just one day after Trump's victory, the panelists dressed in all black as if they were attending a funeral.
Diesel motorhome sales are set to be halted in several states at the start of next year due to a new climate rule from California being enacted, according to RVtravel.
Motorhome sales are being prevented in California, Washington, Oregon, New York, Massachusetts and New Jersey if the vehicles do not meet certain emission requirements based on regulations from the California Air Resources Board (CARB), according to RVtravel. CARB amended its Advanced Clean Truck regulations on Oct. 24, which require all vehicles over 8,500 pounds to produce zero emissions.
Nikki Haley, a failed presidential candidate and former ambassador to the United Nations, tried to smear President-elect Donald Trump as “shallow” after he stated he would not offer her a position in his second administration.
The comment appears to expose Haley’s resentment of Trump, who defeated her in the 2024 Republican presidential primary race. Haley dropped out in March after Super Tuesday.
She eventually said she would vote for Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris in the months leading up to Election Day, but the endorsement did not cause Trump to bring Haley on the campaign trail as a surrogate, angering many establishment Republicans.
