English asked me an insightful question. If all white Americans are responsible for slavery, which ended 161 years ago, why are not all Muslims responsible for 9-11, which happened just 25 years ago? Hmmmm.
“The Democrat Party is not a political party. It is a domestic extremist organization.”
–Susan Quinn.
It appears that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent have persuaded President Trump not to renew major military operations against Iran. This is a mistake.
“In these next two years, our job cannot be merely to spotlight how radical this new Democrat party is—offense, not defense, wins elections. Republican policies prioritize making Americans’ neighborhoods safer, keeping more money in their pockets, and protecting enduring American values and freedoms.”–Incoming House of Representatives Minority Leader Jim Jordan (R. Oh.).
Senator Elizabeth “Lieawatha” Warren (D. Ma.) wants to cap credit card interest at 10%. Working class people will lose access to credit cards if she succeeds. Affordability.
“Anyone, whether they are a citizen, whether they were here lawfully, whether they are DACA recipients, who’s been treated unfairly and unjustly by the administration, we need to provide remedial assistance to them.”
–Representative Hakeem Jeffries (D. N.Y.).
Reparations for illegal aliens? Oh, and Representative Jeffries is also demanding that illegal aliens deported under President Trump be brought back to the United States. Affordability.
“A hypocrite is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump and make a speech for conservation.”
–Adlai Stevenson.
Governor Gavin Newsom (D. Ca.) is inalterably opposed to requiring a photo ID to vote in elections. But Governor Newsom is now requiring a photo ID to purchase muscle building supplements. Sigh.
Incoming Texas Governor Gina Hinojosa (D.) is promising to “revisit” the State’s relationship with ICE as regards to the Southern Border. Open the floodgates!
Mrs. Hinojosa is also promising to declare an “economic emergency” on her 1st day in office, and implementing a freeze on electric rates. Look for shortages to occur, including rolling blackouts. Holland Koontz, buy candles and flashlights!
Newly elected Texas State Democrat legislators have pre-filed 35 bills seeking to curb its citizens’ right to “keep and bear arms”. Texas, founded by Virginians, could have learned something by observing the so-called “moderate” Democrats assuming power in Virginia. But its citizens did not. Welcome to our world of misery and less freedom.
Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger (D.) seeks to provide “medical debt relief” and limit data centers from locating in the Commonwealth. So now “affordability” means those with jobs paying others’ debts, and retarding industrial growth. Sigh.
Incoming Minnesota Governor Amy Klobuchar (D.) is promising to ban semiautomatic weapons. Affordabililty.
“We’re already planning an 11 percent increase in fares starting next July [but that might not be enough]. The reason being is that Metro is not sustainable at the rate that it’s going. One big issue is that 64 percent of bus riders still do not pay fares [so something must change]. One option would be significantly cutting service, but that will not be enough. Another option is asking lawmakers for more money, which has proven difficult in the past, or putting it on the riders, increasing fares substantially.”
— D.C. Metro General Manager and CEO Randy Clark, addressing Washington’s public transportation’s financial difficulties.
Notice that none of the solutions involve making the freeloaders pay or face consequences. The entire burden will be placed on the productive, tax paying portion of the population. More affordability.
Voters in Washington State and Colorado passed initiatives banning boys from playing in girls sports. Yay! Well, not quite. See, the voters made a mistake, at least according to the Democrats. So in Washington, Representative Pramila Jayapal (D.) is leading an effort to have State Democrats get the initiative results overturned. Seattle’s socialist Mayor is already taking legal action; she is filing suit to overturn the voters’ decision! And in Colorado, State Democrat lawmakers insist that they can overturn the voters’ will. All in the name of saving “our democracy”.
Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto, a twice-deported illegal alien, rushed the cockpit on a United Airlines flight, claiming to have a bomb, and threatening to blow up the airplane. He was subdued and arrested.
Why was Mr. Gomez-Alberto running around loose after entering the United States illegally for a 3rd time? A California federal judge deemed him not to be a flight risk or danger, and ordered his release pending his deportation. AND, because he claimed that he was “trans”. Good gracious! Wrong call, your honor.
Tomorrow is the last day you can get a Chick-Fil-A chicken and waffles sandwich. That is, unless you live in Tampa, Florida, Chicago, Illinois, or Raleigh, North Carolina, where the sandwiches will remain on the menu. Everyone else is out of luck. For now.
Alexander Darchiev, the Russian Ambassador to the United States, has died at age 66. R. I. P.
Actor Stacy Keach has died at age 85. R. I. P.
Washington, D.C. trial lawyer Dane Butswinkas has died at age 65. R. I. P.
GFK
English brings up a very good question.
