MACDONALD: Remember The Party of No?

When it comes to debates over spending, priorities, and budgets, Senate Republicans appear more than happy to accommodate Democrats… in the 12 regular-order budgets yet to be debated and passed. But they won’t do anything like that until Democrats agree that those are where those conversations should happen. Republican senators were relieved when President Donald … Read more

OPINION: What Concessions Does Kelly Ayotte Want Republicans To Make To Reopen The Government?

New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte has repeatedly placed equal blame on both parties for the federal government shutdown. Examples: Apparently, Ayotte believes that Democrats are NOT to blame for refusing to pass the same type of “clean” continuing resolution (maintaining current spending) that was passed thirteen times under Biden. Apparently, she believes that Republicans should … Read more

ROPER: Dem Vote Threatens Food and Heat Benefits

As of this writing, there have been ten votes to reopen the government since October 1. The 53 Republican senators need at least seven Democrats and Independents to break with Chuck Schumer to reach the 60-vote threshold to break the Democrats’ filibuster, and while a few have put their constituents above partisan politics, Vermont’s two … Read more

MACDONALD: Misdirection?

I just watched a clip of House Speaker Mike Johnson reading a partial list of the Senate Democrats’ hostage demands. These are the things they claim to want before allowing non-essential government workers to return to their jobs, if they still have them. You vhill give us what we vhant or else! Johnson’s says that’s … Read more

OPINION: Democrats Voted For A Shutdown

This past week, the Republicans presented a common-sense Continuing Resolution to keep the federal government funded through almost the end of the year. The Senate needed 60 votes to pass the resolution, and all 53 Republican senators voted against shutting down the government, along with two common-sense Democrats, Cortez-Masto and Fetterman, and one independent, Angus … Read more

Cardello: Length of Shutdown May Hinge on Definition of American

Government shutdowns are not frequent events, which is great for Congress, because they serve as Exhibit #1 for how childish both sides can be. I hear better debate from the front of my elementary school bus, where the youngest children are seated. The 24/7 media is filled with the various faces of Congress blaming the … Read more

MACDONALD: Dems Shutdown The Government Over Circumcisions in Zambia?

While we continue to rant about the Dems holding Democrat civil servants hostage in exchange for “health care for illegals,” it turns out there are several other priorities in play. Yes, they want you to pay for health insurance for non-citizens, but they also want “$3 million for circumcisions and vasectomies in Zambia.”  That’s according … Read more

MACDONALD: Happy Shutdown Day!

Dems just shut down the government so the guy waving the Mexican Flag, surrounded by rioters and burning cars in LA, could have free health care. Remember when that narcissistic ass, Barry Obama, signed ObamaCare into law? There was this pause, and he was like, See, nothing happened. But it sure as hell did, and … Read more

MACDONALD: Shutdown Schumer Rides Again

Is this Chuckie’s Kobayashi Maru? October 1st is coming like an out-of-control freight train, and I can’t wait for it to get here. Republicans have returned the budget practice to regular rules of order, and Democrats don’t want to do it that way. The correct process involves twelve appropriations bills, one for each department, which … Read more

Night Cap: Shut It Down, Kick the Can, Act like Adults

Congressional leaders are sitting down with Dementia Joe to talk about how to spend your money. If you have been following along, you know that starting this Friday, the US Government may partially shut down. Congress has not yet agreed on a new funding deal (as I write this) for the federal government for the rest of 2024.

How Much Is Too Much for Ukraine?

Funding for Ukraine is causing a lot of political drama – did you notice how I did not use the word “war”?  Some politicians want additional funding for Ukraine, some do not, and there is a report suggesting we might want to rethink foreign aid.

US Congressman Matt Gaetz

Everything The System Tells You About Government “Shutdowns” Is A Lie

The narrative from the Regime-media and both Parties goes like this … a small group of Republican “extremists” refuse to fund the government because ____ (fill in whatever nefarious reason you like: they hate the government; they hate Speaker McCarthy; they’re irrational; blah, blah, blah); these “extremists” are the children in the room and the … Read more

Must See Matt Gaetz … How The UniParty Uses “Shutdowns” And “Continuing Resolutions” To Avoid Accountability And Spend, Spend, Spend

Great interview by Matt Gaetz. He explains how the UniParty prevents the normal appropriations process from taking place to create a scenario where the government is going to “shut down” unless there is a single up or down vote on a “continuing resolution” to fund the entire government. It’s a scam to give the UniParty … Read more

Watch Matt Gaetz Destroy Maria Bartiromo

Maria Bartiromo had Matt Gaetz on her show in order to spank him for being willing to “shut down the government” in order to keep his promises to the voters. It was Maria, however, who got spanked. For example, she kept claiming that Kevin McCarthy had racked up all these “wins” and that Gaetz was … Read more
