Senate women march on Betsy DeVos: Where's the solidarity, woman?
There are 21 women in the US Senate, but only three voted to confirm Betsy DeVos.
To these hypocrites liberalism trumps gender.

Oops, top Republicans took money connected to George Soros in 2016
Breitbart is making these Republicans very angry, here in "Records: Soros Fund Execs Funded Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, John McCain, John Kasich, Lindsey Graham in 2016".
Heh, heh.
Republicans should impeach Judge Robart and the whole 9th Circuit Court of Appeals while they are at it
From the story here:
Beyond excoriation Robart needs to be impeached and removed from the bench for judicial incompetence. ...
By going to Seattle and finding a sympathetic liberal-inclined pet judge they accomplished two things: they got their TRO and they put the case into the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, the largest and most liberal (and most-reversed by the Supreme Court) federal court in the United States, which reacted to a well-formed and legally-sound appeal of the TRO with a one-page ruling rejecting the appeal without any analysis of the case or the law. This was not circumstantial, it was very deliberate tactic on the part of liberal progressive Democrats.
This makes the 9th Circuit Court as much of a co-conspirator in violating the separation of powers doctrine as Robart and the State of Washington are, which is a good reason for the plan to break up the 9th Circuit Court into several smaller courts to move forward. Impeachment of 9th Circuit judges should also begin immediately.
Looks like we need to build two walls: Canada has an illegal entry problem from the US, turning away refugees
Which means bad actors can easily penetrate unmanned border areas and get into the US.
From the story here:
Since late summer, 27 men from Ghana walked to Manitoba from the United States, Yeboah said. Two lost all their fingers to frostbite in December and nearly froze to death.
More than 7,000 refugee applicants entered Canada in 2016 through land ports of entry from the United States, up 63 percent from the previous year, according to Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
Over 2,000 more entered "irregularly" during a similar time period, without official authorization, such as across unmonitored fields.
Four hundred and thirty asylum seekers crossed Manitoba's border irregularly in the first nine months of 2016-17, up from 340 the entire previous year, CBSA said. ...
In Quebec, 1,280 refugee claimants irregularly entered between April 2016 and January 2017, triple the previous year's total.
In British Columbia and Yukon, 652 people entered Canada irregularly in 2016, more than double the previous year.
More of these people would enter at border crossings, advocates say, if Canada didn't have a policy of turning many of them away when they do.
Thomas Sowell returns to his column to speak out on behalf of Betsy DeVos
Here.
While DeVos' previous support for Common Core is worrisome, the vehement opposition to her from the unionized education establishment indicates there is tremendous fear that she will succeed and shake up the current failed system.
She should be confirmed just for that reason.
Dr. John Bates, formerly of NOAA, blows whistle on data tampering to erase warming pause
From the story here:
But the whistleblower, Dr John Bates, a top NOAA scientist with an impeccable reputation, has shown The Mail on Sunday irrefutable evidence that the paper was based on misleading, ‘unverified’ data. ... In an exclusive interview, Dr Bates accused the lead author of the paper, Thomas Karl, who was until last year director of the NOAA section that produces climate data – the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) – of ‘insisting on decisions and scientific choices that maximised warming and minimised documentation… in an effort to discredit the notion of a global warming pause, rushed so that he could time publication to influence national and international deliberations on climate policy’.
Byron York says Justice Department demolishes Robart case against Trump order
Here:
Now the government has answered Robart, and unlike the judge, Justice Department lawyers have produced a point-by-point demolition of Washington State's claims. Indeed, for all except the most partisan, it is likely impossible to read the Washington State lawsuit, plus Robart's brief comments and writing on the matter, plus the Justice Department's response, and not come away with the conclusion that the Trump order is on sound legal and constitutional ground.

Ben Sasse is a so-called Senator because he is a lying liberal suck-up
He's also hysterical, but I repeat myself.
