Yeah, well, what you get with the Kelly Megyn Approach is just more shapeshifting to make a buck

 Megyn Kelly: If Republicans Take The "Mark Levin Approach" In November, They Deserve What They're Going To Get

... You understand the sacrifice that our troops make and the risk they take when they sign up. I would submit to the jury, it is not to die in a war for Israel. ... 

Republicans were always going to lose in November, well before the Iran attack on Feb 28.

Your reminder that today's so-called conservatives look at US institutions and traditions as impediments, same as liberals do

I am sick of TSA's illegal searches and seizures, and of DHS' deadly incompetence in Minneapolis and at Barksdale AFB.

The author below lists four recent incidents of terrorism in the United States in support of funding DHS outside the filibuster so that this incompetence can continue!  

They're not keeping us safe!

Millions of illegals remain in America who were supposed to Remain in Mexico!

Fire them all! These post-911 innovations aren't working. 

 

Terrorism trumps America again:

Oh, poor baby

 Trump: Thune, Johnson "Made My Job A Lot Harder"

Trump approval hit a record low 41.8% yesterday in the Real Clear Politics average

Disapproval with Trump at 55.9% retests the high from Feb 23.

 


GOP liars portray passing routine legislation under reconcilation rules as a standard part of the process when the gimmick is restricted to budgets and wasn't used for the first time until 1980

Now they want to make everything fall under reconciliation in order to make an end run around the filibuster. 

The Byrd Rule codified in 1990 makes legislation extraneous to the budget process, like the Save Act, ineligible for the process. 

Larry Kudlow has really devolved, falsely calling Fed Chair Powell the Fed’s first forever board member

Larry knows that's a lie.

He knows it's Senator Thom Tillis who is stopping Kevin Warsh from getting a Fed chair confirmation hearing, not Jerome Powell.

But he never mentions that.

Truly disgraceful.

I guess Larry wants no one in charge at the Fed when Powell's term expires on May 15. 

Meanwhile Alan Greenspan remained as Fed chair in 1996 pending confirmation for his next term, which took almost four months, and Marriner Eccles stayed on as Fed chair for over two months after his term expired, and on the board of governors after that from 1948-1951. G. William Miller stayed on as Fed chair for over a month in 1978 after his term expired, and Chair Powell himself had to wait over three months in 2022 for confirmation to his second term.

But Larry doesn't mention any of that either, because he's a liar.  

Powell is doing his duty while Mad King Ludwig tries to wreck everything he touches, and Larry Kudlow has become nothing but Trump's partisan hack.

The New York Sun and Real Clear Politics should be ashamed of themselves for circulating this trash.

 WH’s Hassett: If Iran War Were Extended, It Would Hurt Consumers, But That's The "Last of Our Concerns"

... It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about, you know, if that continued, what we would have to do about that. But that's like really the last of our concerns right now ...

Ann Coulter believes in an anti-war myth of her own making, says an anti-war Trump won a huge majority in the 2016 Republican primary in pro-war South Carolina when 67% voted for anybody else

... Waging pointless wars around the world and being the world's policeman. How many times do we have to vote on this?

 I mean, Trump was attacked for the things he said in 2016. Remember, he said, Jeb's father lied us into war. The Wall Street Journal and New York Post assured us that that was going to kill him in South Carolina, biggest military state in the country.

That was in the South Carolina primary. Next day, primaries hold. Who wins? Huge, huge majority. Donald Trump. We have voted on this over and over and over again. Now what? We've already had how many? Seven Americans die, not to mention 166 school children in our name for a war that does not make one American safer.

Here.

Even today, strong approval of Donald Trump is only a 30% proposition at Rasmussen Reports.

The disease spreads

The original story from The Nation had Cavalry. MSN picked up the story and promptly mis-headlined it Calvary. RCP mindlessly repeated the mistake.

Kash Patel is incompetent and he needs to go, too

 


The Supremes long ago ruled against the totalitarian state that Trump keeps demanding

Local authorities don't have to cooperate on immigration, or on anything else.

Based on Supreme Court precedents like Printz v. United States (1997), courts have held that the federal government cannot command state or local officials to administer or enforce federal regulatory programs, including immigration enforcement.

Real Clear Politics should know better than to repost this bullshit.

Nashville's Tomi Lahren is a bigger box of rocks than Sarah Palin

Here

... What if we just decided, you know what, we don't want to pay taxes anymore. And you know, just to make sure we don't pay taxes anymore, we're going to send all our foot soldiers out on the street and we're going to burn things and we're going to throw things and we're going to riot and we're going to assault officers. ...

Yeah, we already decided that once, but obviously that didn't stick.

... what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? ...

-- Thomas Jefferson, 1787
