MACDONALD: Cornyn’s Pitch to End Filibuster [Updated]

Just the other day I opined on the notion that the Republican Primary between Paxton and Cornyn was becoming a bargaining chip to get some stuff out of the US Senate. Since then, both Trump and Paxton have come out saying that Republicans have to ditch the filibuster and pass the SAVE ACT. No pauses, … Read more

JANZ: I reluctantly agree that the filibuster should be ‘nuked’

After some long and hard thought, I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the US Senate needs to suspend the filibuster until after the 2026 election, and then reestablish it as the last action before the Senate adjourns for this session. It took me several days and several discussions with others whom I respect … Read more

A Big French Kiss In The Senate Chamber

Corey Booker, also known as Spartacus for his off-the-wall and dramatic orations in Congress, again put himself in the spotlight this week. Since the disgraceful exit of Bob Menendez from the Senate, Booker is now the Senior Senator from New Jersey, and there may be no more enormous ego or greater narcissism in the American … Read more

Are Dems Still Itchin’ to Ditch The Filibuster?

Democrats wanted to do away with the Filibuster. The excuse for that was premised on advocating federal abortion legislation. Force everyone to allow in-womb executions long after viability, primarily the requirement that every state permit third trimester up to the birth abortion. Almost no one agrees with this or wants it except elected Democrats, but … Read more

No Right Is Absolute? Think Again.

Once again, the ‘no right is absolute’ argument is being dragged out, this time as an excuse for flagrantly violating not just the Constitution, but the federal statutes that prohibit the government from collecting information about gun purchases necessary to create a firearms registry.

Mitch McConnell So Doesn’t Get It … 2020 Was NOT A One-Off

Mitch McConnell is not happy that many Democrats want to do away with the Senate’s filibuster: McConnell recently penned an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, in which he listed all his reasons for not ending the filibuster including this: And then there’s the small problem that majorities are never permanent. The last time a … Read more

Union Leader Now Carrying Water for Jeanne Shaheen on Coronavirus

This: The linked “article”, if you want to be kind and call it that, resembles John DiStaso’s “coverage” – essentially cutting and pasting Jeanne Shaheen’s press release and signing your name to it: The grants come on top of $1.25 billion New Hampshire will receive under the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act, the … Read more

Jeanne Shaheen Flat-Out Misleads New Hampshire About Why She Filibustered Coronavirus-Relief & What the Filibuster Achieved

Jeanne Shaheen has been working relentlessly today to rewrite history about why she filibustered the Phase III Conornavirus relief bill and what that filibuster actually achieved. For example: These happen to be the talking points that CryingChuck Schumer directed his Democrats to repeat (source 8:29 AM tweet from @JakeSherman): So let’s take these one by … Read more

From Diversity-Mandates to Early-Voting … All the Completely Extraneous Things Jeanne Shaheen is Filibustering to Add to Coronavirus Relief

So last night I posted about how Jeanne Shaheen is filibustering the very Coronavirus-relief bill she helped negotiate and write … because Nancy Pelosi decided to use the present and rapidly-growing economic crisis to pass a wish-list of Democrat legislation. When you see what the Democrats want added to the Coronavirus bill, your draw will … Read more

Senator Jeannie Has One-Upped John Kerry – “I Actually Wrote the Coronavirus-Relief Bill, Before I Voted to Filibuster It.”

So the Democrats in the United States Senate have voted en masse to filibuster the Phase 3 Coronavirus-relief bill, which was to provide economic stimulus and aid to businesses. In a nutshell, what happened is that Senate “negotiators” from both Parties spent the last two days negotiating a bill and had essentially come to an … Read more

Hypocrisy…the Duality in ‘Americur

Hypocrisy

Drones in the Middle East, drones on American soil, Libya coup d’etat support, Egypt insurgency weapons support, Syria coup support.

Sounds like the first term of Mephistopheles himself (Dick Cheney), right?

The American Left has no soul.  Period.  Watching some of the reaction to Rand Paul’s filibuster last week, it is now perfectly clear that the Left’s rhetoric and protest about “Bush’s War” was only about Bush and against the Right; it had nothing to do with principle, liberty, or right and wrong.  That’s the problem with the Left – particularly the Far Left – they blindly follow memes (social and political) and they criminally ignore malfeasance from their own team.

Funny thing is, though…

Rand Paul in yesterday’s Washington Post:

At “Sen. Rand Paul: My filibuster was just the beginning,” he describes the filibuster and why he did it. As usual, the comments shed as much light as the column itself, the number of which has just gone over 3,000 and is steadily climbing. They are fascinating (especially in view of the fact that so many are unconcerned … Read more
