Oh, So *Now* the Dems Like the Filibuster
Posted By: FlyRight, 11/23/2024 4:12:07 PM
It's something of an understatement to say that Democrats woke up the morning of November 6th to find their world taking a very different shape. Not only did the resurgent Donald Trump and his bright, young understudy JD Vance crush the Harris/Walz ticket in an overwhelming electoral victory, but they also crushed it in the total vote count and crashed through the Rust Belt "Blue Wall" like the Kool-Aid Man. Not only that, but the GOP will go into the next Congress with control of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

They’ve had enough.
A movement in a myriad of rural counties across deep blue states such as Illinois and California to split off and form new states appears to be gaining some steam in the wake of the Nov. 5 election.
Conservative residents of the rural regions are taking note of their peers fleeing to lower-taxed and less-regulated red states but they are ready to stay put — pining for a divorce with the urban sectors of their state.
A group dubbed the New Illinois State has drafted a new constitution and championed plans to “Leave Illinois Without Moving.”
The Forever-Tarnished Legacy of Barack Obama

Among the many benefits of Donald Trump’s re-election that our nation and the world are already experiencing is the forever tarnished legacy of Barack Obama. In 2028, will the Democrat candidate want Obama to go on the campaign trail for him or her? I doubt it. Obama's Un-enduring Influence
When he was elected president (assuming that massive Democratic cheating was not in full swing in 2008), Democrats held a commanding 55- to 45-seat majority in the U.S. Senate and an overwhelming 256- to 179-seat majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.

After Hamas raped, tortured, burned, kidnapped, and murdered innocent Israelis on October 7, the worst genocidal act against Jews since the Holocaust, it is astonishing to see how so much of the world has turned to blame the victims and reignite the historic scourge of anti-Semitism.
Are you perplexed by the pro-Hamas demonstrations and the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, the democratically elected prime minister of the State of Israel, Yoav Gallant, Israel’s former defense minister, and Mohammed Al Dief, a leading Hamas official, who has been dead for four months? Let me offer a few thoughts.
Germany is the largest economy in the E.U. However, due to a confluence of horrible events, most of them self-created as an outcome of ridiculous energy production decisions, the German industrial economy has been contracting since 2022. Into this downward spiral of negative economic events within Germany, now comes the problem of President Trump eager to eliminate the Marshal Plan of one-way tariffs and start dealing with the trade inequities. The German industrial manufacturing companies who make up the majority of the economic output are concerned, very concerned.
Within the discussion suddenly something appears that all Western financial pundits have yet to accept.

President-elect Donald Trump on Friday announced his choices to lead the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as his pick for the surgeon general post.
Trump, 78, nominated Dr. Marty Makary – a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and contributor for The Post – to serve as FDA commissioner.
Makary has been an outspoken critic of the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, accusing White House officials of pushing “unsupported claims” about the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines and risks the virus poses.
The Kremlin said on Friday that a strike on Ukraine using a newly developed hypersonic ballistic missile was a message to the West that Moscow will respond harshly to any "reckless" Western actions in support of Ukraine.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was speaking a day after President Vladimir Putin said Moscow had fired the new missile - the Oreshnik or Hazel Tree - at a Ukrainian military facility in response to Kyiv striking Russia with U.S.-made and British-made missiles this week for the first time after the U.S. granted its approval.
Pentagon officials speaking on condition of anonymity are claiming that should Pete Hegseth be confirmed as Secretary of Defense, he will demolish the efforts by the Department of Defense to stamp out sexual assault. According to Politico, "Officials fear that Hegseth, whose nomination had already caused controversy due to his opposition to women serving in combat, could also hurt efforts to recruit women into the military."Let's stop the tape for a moment. Hegseth was not "credibly accused of sexual assault." As he said, police investigated the incident, and there were no grounds to charge him.

Treasury secretary, ending fierce battle
for key job: sources 6 replies
President-elect Donald Trump will name hedge fund mogul Scott Bessent as the next treasury secretary, four sources tell The Post, ending a rough-and-tumble race that saw fierce jockeying among power players across Wall Street.
Bessent “got the thumbs up” late Thursday during a meeting with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., one source close to the situation told The Post.
A flurry of last-minute media report have floated a slew of candidates. Late Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported that financier Kevin Warsh had met with Trump on Wednesday about the Treasury post — and possibly replacing Jerome Powell as Fed chairman when his term expires in 2026.
Semper Fi, Sgt. Penny!

Disclaimer: It is impossible for me to be objective about the Marines, and thus I am hard pressed even to try to see the “justice” in the prosecution of Marine sergeant Daniel Penny for acting as the very definition of what we think of as a good Samaritan on the subway in New York City — and, judging by the statements of those he protected, maybe even saving those on the train from the lunatic Jordan Neely.
This is written as the defense begins its case in what is clearly to me a persecution, with clear and distinct racial overtones.
Rashida Tlaib is constantly spreading lies about Israel. This time, Israeli Arab Yoseph Haddad had a great response. Rashida Tlaib is a representative in the US Congress – but she most definitely shouldn’t be. She does not represent the values that the US stands for.
Tlaib is constantly slamming Israel based on a false narrative. She spreads lies about the one and only Jewish state. She claims that Israel is an apartheid state. And it is too perfect that an Israeli ARAB responded in this video telling her how wrong she is.

Nancy Pelosi’s daughter, Christine Pelosi, bragged about curing ballots in California as 2 Democrat candidates pull ahead nearly 3 weeks after Election Day.
This is what happens when ballot harvesting is legal and there is no voter ID.
California shifted red in 2024 with 40% of the voters in the Golden State voting for President Trump. (Maps) Trump carried the down ballot and flipped several blue counties red in California, however, two Democrat candidates have pulled ahead nearly 3 weeks after the election and will likely flip the two seats blue.
“The View” doesn’t want anyone to sue.
The co-hosts of the controversial ABC talk show were forced to issue four “legal notes” during Friday’s broadcast after they discussed allegations leveled at several of President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees.
The legal notes — which are disclaimers provided by the subjects’ lawyers — pertained to remarks made on-air by the show’s stars Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin.
During a segment discussing George Santos, Behar brought up the former congressman’s 23 criminal charges, including wire fraud.
Pam Bondi, Trump’s nominee for Attorney General now that Matt Gaetz has withdrawn, is an interesting choice. On the one hand, she seems like a conservative attack dog and comes out of Ron DeSantis’s Florida, which argues that she’s solid. On the other hand, a lot of RINOs are awfully pleased that she’s been named, which is always worrisome.
One other worrisome thing is how she handled the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin case back in as Florida’s AG twelve years ago. Sundance, at Conservative Treehouse, has written a detailed analysis

Trudeau Says He Would Arrest Netanyahu
If He Entered Canada 19 replies
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who, as we reported, was busy dancing happily at a Taylor Swift concert Friday night as pro-Hamas forces rioted on the streets of Montreal, said at a Thursday press conference Thursday that he would have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested if the premier arrived on Canadian soil. As Tim Walz might say, the guy is just plain “weird.”
His comments come after the ICC embarrassed themselves by issuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu as he is engaged in a fight for the survival of Israel against permanent aggressors Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. RedState’s Streiff reported:
The Conference of the Parties(COP)29 ended in anger as the developing nations rejected an agreement by the wealthy nations that would have given the greedy little grifters $300 billion in funding for projects to combat climate change.
It's a "disaster," some of the representatives claimed. The $300 billion in aid would come "from a wide variety of sources, public and private, bilateral and multilateral, including alternative sources."
Nigeria branded the deal "a joke." Ralph Regenvanu, envoy for the island nation of Vanuatu, stated: "The dollar amounts pledged and the emissions reductions promised are not enough. They were never going to be enough.
Iran International, a Persian-language international media outlet with ties to Iranian regime opponents, is reporting that Iran's Assembly of Experts, the only body empowered to appoint or dismiss a supreme leader, has named Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of current leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as his successor. The outlet also reports that Mojtaba Khamenei may assume the office of supreme leader before his father dies. It's no secret that the 85-year-old Ali Khamenei is in poor health. But the meeting of the Assembly of Experts was called suddenly and with no warning by Khamenei. The 60-member body was instructed to decide on the succession immediately under strict confidentiality.
The whiplash-inducing, “Hunger Games”-style race to become Donald Trump’s Treasury secretary made it easy for the media to ignore what has been going on with Janet Yellen — and the absolute mess she’s leaving for her successor.
Yellen — who, it was revealed Friday, will be replaced as Treasury secretary in January by hedge fund mogul Scott Bessent — was Joe Biden’s pick to run the office that is essentially the country’s CFO.
Indeed, it could be the most important cabinet position in the White House given the importance of the US economy. Americans put Trump in office largely over his handling of the economy during his first term —
Trump’s electoral victory has advanced the demise of MSNBC and CNN for good reason.
The fall of NBC, ABC, and CBS should follow.
Each of these so-called news outlets has betrayed their viewers for as long as they have been on the air. They consistently misled their viewers day after day to the point that Trump’s victory was a major shock to their systems. Those blinkered viewers sadly believed what those networks told them -- that Trump could not possibly win, that Harris would win in a landslide. They misled their viewers so egregiously that those who only watched those outlets were understandably shocked by Trump’s win.
Fleeing Florida!

For a host of reasons, it became convenient for progressives to suggest that large numbers were fleeing Florida in search of a better life.
When Florida governor Ron DeSantis was a GOP presidential frontrunner, liberal Democrats dug up every scrap of information suggesting he was an ineffective governor, noting that thousands were fleeing his state as a result of his supposedly poor governance. When Trump became the GOP nominee, the attack on Trump’s adopted home state continued. Hundreds if not thousands of articles were generated implying that Trump’s adopted home state was such a disaster that there was a mass exodus. The reality is just the opposite.
After President-elect Donald Trump won the election, the Biden-Harris State Department is under fire for hosting in-house therapy sessions for employees. A Free Beacon report found that outgoing Secretary of State Antony Blinken spent federal money on at least two sessions, which a source described as a "cry session” for people to deal with Vice President Kamala Harris’ loss. In a letter to Blinken, Republican Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) expressed concern that the State Department was coddling its employees even though their preferred candidate did not win the election.
“I am concerned that the Department is catering to federal employees who are personally devastated
Matt Gaetz said he fell victim to a 'smear' campaign that dredged up old and discredited allegations in his first interview since withdrawing his name from consideration as Donald Trump's attorney general.
And he revealed he will not be returning to Congress next year despite having been re-elected to the seat he vacated.
Instead, he told The Charlie Kirk Show, he will now work to recruit the talent that could help underpin the new Trump administration.
