House Speaker Mike Johnson rings the poaching alarm

 

 "But I've told President Trump, enough already, give me some relief. I have to maintain this majority. And he understands that, of course, we've been talking about it almost hourly every day," he said, adding that the Republicans "will have a majority." ...

According to the Washington Post, North Carolina Representative Virginia Foxx and Florida Representative Byron Donalds are potential candidates for secretary of Education. Foxx won her district by 19 points, and Donalds won his by 33 points.

Meanwhile, Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie has hinted that he is open to becoming the secretary of Agriculture.

Why Acknowledging Juneteenth Isn't Enough

Brandi Jones, Newsweek

There's video everyday since late 2022 on the site formerly known as Twitter showing Joe Biden completely out of it, but this finally makes it up at Drudge lol?

 Video of Biden Appearing to Freeze at Juneteenth Event Raises Questions...

This is completely unfair. Watch the video and you'll see a black guy in the row behind Biden and to his left just about as stiff as Joe.

The alarming stuff is the gibberish coming out his mouth here here and here.

McDonald's Australia: Just use cash during global IT outage

The cashless society hits a speed bump.

Newsweek here:

In Australia, internal systems at some restaurants have been offline since about 3:10 p.m. local time. Some stores have been forced to close completely, while others are only taking cash orders, according to a report by news.com.au.

Joe Biden is a victim of elder abuse

Laura Rosen Cohen, parent of a special needs child in Toronto, for Newsweek here, who calls this the Abuse That Dare Not Speak Its Name:

Recent reports confirm what's obvious to everyone on the planet: President Joe Biden is a frail 81-year old who requires physiotherapy daily for his increasingly stiff gait and must wear slip proof sneakers to prevent frequent falls. Staff reportedly can only schedule important meetings for him from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, because that is when he is most lucid.

This is a pattern in keeping with many dementia patients, as are other symptoms: Rarely does a day go by without video of Biden looking completely confused. He also frequently shouts angrily at reporters and confuses things, like Mexico and Egypt, or the names of dead leaders with current ones.

It's increasingly alarming, and the general consensus in America and around the world is that Biden is both too old for the job and not well.

In most normal families, a frail 81-year-old grandfather insisting on working but showing clear signs of diminished mental capacity and repeated episodes of falling and physical fragility would be encouraged to quit, enjoy his retirement, golf and garden to his heart's content. Quit your day job, Gramps, they would rightly say. And it's not like the Biden family is strapped for cash. Aside from any potential extended family business earnings, Joe Biden himself is reported to be worth approximately $10 million.

President Joe Biden faces a clear and present physical danger to his person due to his decline. But the public spectacle of his enfeebled nature also begs a different question: Why is the First Lady not putting an end to her husband's repeated and consistent public humiliation? Why aren't his children or grandchildren doing the right thing for their loved one? ...

If insisting on keeping a frail and doddering senior in the White House (or any job for that matter), exposing him to daily physical risk, demanding he perform tasks beyond his mental and physical capacity or stamina and world ridicule isn't elder abuse, what is? Are there any adults in the Biden family "room" who will finally call a lid not just on the President's repeated public humiliations but on his tenure writ large?

The leader of the free world is now an actual physical representation of the decline of American power and the American Republic. The President's diminished capacity is being willfully and purposely ignored by those closest to him, something that is very well-appreciated by America's enemies. As a result, the world is in chaos.

The article twice says amusingly that Democrat Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan was "censored". 

She wasn't. She was censured by the U.S. House of Representatives for what she freely said.

It is unclear from the story whether Mireille Rebeiz, Chair of Middle East Studies and Associate Professor at Dickinson College, Pennsylvania, actually said censored or censured. It is possible she is not correctly quoted. It is also possible she doesn't understand English that well.

Hard to say!

In any event, Newsweek's headline is over the top: "John Fetterman Faces Revolt in Pennsylvania". It's one crank at a college, to which you probably shouldn't send your kid.

Cornel West's campaign of all the different voices is just the cacophany you'd expect from the University of Michigan Hospital's ninth floor

In the jazz parlance that West regularly uses to describe his candidacy, the campaign is getting more out and free.

“I am in no way an ordinary politician,” West said. “Therefore, it’s a matter of making sure that we have people in place who are willing to be unorthodox and cut against the grain, organizationally, internally and politically and morally.”

“We want to be jazz-like, in terms of raising all of the different voices,” he added.

The US House passed the $2.5 trillion increase to the debt ceiling in the dead of night with just one, unneeded, Republican vote

The bill, which lawmakers passed 221-209, with one Republican voting yes, raises the federal debt ceiling by $2.5 trillion to increase the limit to close to $31 trillion.

More. 

Adam Kinzinger was the lone Republican vote in the House:

Representative Adam Kinzinger was the only Republican lawmaker who voted with Democrats in the House to raise the debt ceiling, staving off a potentially disastrous federal default.

Last week, Kinzinger was also the only Republican to back the Democrats over the plan struck by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) allowing Senate Democrats to lift the ceiling through a simple majority vote.

The Illinois congressman, one of 10 Republicans to vote for the second impeachment of ex-President Donald Trump after the Capitol insurrection and one of only two GOP lawmakers on the January 6 committee investigating the riots that day, will not be standing for re-election in the 2022 midterms.
