The Morning Report — 4/25/24

Good morning, kids. First, a big thanks to Mis Hum for filling in yesterday. Not going to go into detail about my situation except to say that I'm neither better nor worse than before the consult. In the coming weeks, I might be absent for a few days here and there, hopefully no longer than that and not on a continuing basis. As always, your prayers and words of encouragement are appreciated more than you can know. We'll muddle through somehow.

Now, back to the meshugas of upside down world . . .

Well, we've established that the GOP – Grifting Oleaginous Parasites – are not the stupid party but are in fact stooges/pawns/confederates of the Uniparty playing the role in the ongoing kabuki-bukkake theatre of "opposition." With the latest maddening sell-out by Mike Johnson, who is turning out to be the Paul Ryan of Kevin McCarthy's, insofar as sending billions of dollars to Ukraine, and whatever minimal pittance to Israel (of course I support Israel, and dollars sent there as opposed to virtually anywhere else on the planet would actually do some good in terms of its and our own security, but that's for another time) while doing nothing to stop the border invasion, you want to tear your hair out.

In point of fact, the $61 billion sent to Ukraine would build the wall several times over. Even better would be stripping the IRS of the 80,000 new agents and using the money to fund 80,000 CBP/INS agents to round up and deport every damned wetback who's on our soil and returning them from whence they came. But the duplicity aside, perhaps stupidity shouldn't be discounted out of hand:

The estimable Raheem Khassam probably said it best:

“When the enemy is making a false movement, we must take good care not to interrupt him,” so said Napoleon at one of the critical junctures of the Battle of Waterloo. Today it is commonly written as: “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
”With that in mind: what the fuck is Mike Johnson doing? No, not with his predictable capitulation to the defense industry. That move was obvious as the day is long. What’s more stunning is his bizarre trip to Columbia University on Wednesday, where he squeaked into a microphone, drowned out by cacophonous students chanting – doubtless to their chagrin (and ignorance) – in agreement with Steve Bannon of late: “Mike you suck! Mike you suck!”
Johnson’s completely arbitrary trip to New York is the very definition of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. An issue that was completely at the feet of Joe Biden and the fools in his foreign policy apparatus now appears – at best – as a “uniparty” issue, and at worst, as a scenario where the GOP is running interference for neoconservatism like its 2003. . .
. . . Why is it yours, my, or Mike Johnson’s job to save them from themselves? Simply speaking: it ain’t.And what happens when the Columbia University President refuses to resign, as Johnson demanded? The faculty will frame it as defiance against Republicans on Capitol Hill and by proxy (though you and I might know it’s not true), Donald Trump. . .
. . . So I ask you again: what the fuck was Mike Johnson doing? When Biden’s White House is under continuous fire from its once-believed “baked-in” voters. To interrupt your enemy when he’s making a false move? The height of narcissism and folly. And dare I suggest, perhaps intentional?"

Thanks, Raheem. I needed that last sentence to disabuse me of the notion that they're stupid. Stupid though as it seems at first glance, it does indeed seem that this GOP is intentionally trying to sabotage Trump and other Republicans, MAGAns or RINOs, from gaining control this November.

Then again, as we have all postulated what do elections really mean in a nation that is now so top-to-bottom corrupt both in and outside of government, that they can be stolen now openly with zero repercussions? Where kangaroo courts, as well as private institutions such as banks and media platforms, are running pell-mell to destroy political opposition, be it from the most prominent leaders to lowly citizens?

Worst of all, we have schools that have not only poisoned the minds of at least three generations of children to hate their country, their heritage, their parents and even themselves? Where scores of them are now ready, willing and able to commit acts of violence at the drop of a hat. Or yarmulke?

A Jewish Yale University student was jabbed in [near] the eye with a flag pole by an anti-Israel protester on Saturday night, Sophomore Sahar Tartak told The Jerusalem Post.
Tartak, a history student and editor-in-chief of the Yale Free Press, had attempted to film the pro-Palestinian protest encampment that had been set up on the campus.
The visibly religious Jewish student and her friend were immediately met with a wall of five activists each, who did not allow them to pass.
“One of them takes their Palestinian flag and waves it in my face and then jabs it in the face,” said Tartak.
Tartak reported the assault to campus police, but she is unaware of any action taken besides calling an ambulance for her. The student went to the hospital, but was discharged and will not suffer permanent damage. Mentally, however, Tartak said that she was in an “awful” state.
Why did the campus police not seek to arrest the student who hit her in the face with a flagpole? Will the university now investigate the matter, and determine who that student was, so that he, or she, can be subject to appropriate discipline, including expulsion from Yale?
Sahar Tartak is now fearful of returning to the Yale campus, since these pro-Hamas demonstrators now know who she is and may seek her out for violent retribution for reporting the flagpole attack to the police, especially if the perpetrator is indeed discovered and prosecuted.

Meanwhile, just off Washington Square Park, not five blocks from where I once lived, this happened yesterday at NYU:

Out of control New York University protesters swarmed and berated an NYPD chief and his officers – calling them “f–king fascists” – after they cuffed one of the demonstrators at an anti-Israel rally, wild new video shows.
The viral video, shared on X, shows NYPD Assistant Chief James McCarthy and his officers being chased and surrounded by protestors on Monday night while trying to get inside the NYU Catholic Center after arresting one of them.
“F–k you! F–k you, pigs,” the crowd could be heard shouting as they harassed the officers and demanded they release the woman in custody.
Mccarthy is seen attempting to get inside the NYU Catholic Center, but couldn't open the door. He eventually finds an unlocked door around the corner. . .
. . . The wild incident occurred when the NYPD was called in to clear out the campus encampment set up at NYU on Monday night, with more than 100 protesters arrested.
The students had created their own “tent city” in solidarity with the sprawling encampment set up at Columbia University, with NYU students demanding their own school divest holdings tied to Israel over the war in Gaza.
During Monday night’s clash with police, some protesters pelted NYPD officers with bottles as they worked to clear the encampment, with one demonstrator hitting a cop in the head with a chair, the NYPD said.

If I want to be positive, most of these bastards will be descending on Chicago this summer to "attend" the Democrat National Convention. Although it's small consolation that they'll be mindlessly shrieking at Democrats, I suspect quite a few synagogues in the Windy City might have their walls covered in swastikas, if not firebombed. All in the name of "coexistence."

On the downside, how else can the Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants/Kalorama Klown Komintern stab Israel in the heart to try and appease them beforehand?

While perhaps that might not satisfy the rabid tiger's appetite for Jewish blood, this is on the horizon to mollify the Einsatz-groupies:

Democrats have already made it clear that they will stop at nothing – nothing – to prevent Donald Trump from winning in November. So, we aren’t surprised to read reports that President Joe Biden might declare a “climate emergency” this year in hopes that it gooses his reelection odds. Never mind that such a declaration would put the U.S. right on the path to a Venezuela-style future.
Late last week, Bloomberg reported that “White House officials are weighing whether to declare a national climate emergency several months out from the 2024 election.”
. . . Let’s leave aside the entirely fatuous notion that there is anything even remotely constituting a climate “emergency.” What would be the basis for such a declaration? The number of hurricanes, fires, floods? None of these has been trending upward. Death rates from natural disasters are a tiny fraction of what they were 60 years ago, and lower than they were 20 years ago. Food production is way up. . .
. . . As we just learned from the three-year COVID national emergency, the left will eagerly use a climate emergency declaration to strip Americans of basic rights.
Whatever you think of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., he is one of the few who has been outspoken about the dangers the COVID precedent set.
“We’ve now established a precedent in this country – they suspended the First Amendment: religion; freedom of association when they did the lockdowns,” he told Fox News.
“[They restricted] freedom of speech. They banned jury trials against vaccine companies – that’s [a violation of] the Seventh Amendment. They abolished property rights [which violates the] Fifth Amendment [when] they closed 3.3 million businesses with no due process, no just compensation, although there was no pandemic exception in the United States Constitution.”
Way back in 1973, a Senate report noted that emergency declarations give the president the ability to “seize property; organize and control the means of production; seize commodities; assign military forces abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all transportation and communication; regulate the operation of private enterprise; restrict travel; and, in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens.”
. . . Declaring a climate emergency would give Biden the ability to control anything that uses energy – which means literally all human activity – in the name of fighting this emergency.
If Biden were to declare a “climate emergency” and if – God forbid – it helps him win reelection, there will be little hope for the future of this nation.

And if by some miracle the majority of American-Americans say "Hell no!" to this, the little monsters on campuses nationwide terrorizing Jews will be unleashed, unbound, and will come after us for threatening Mother Earth.

Picture Greta Thunberg in a Palestinian terror towel wielding a Molotov Cocktail. Times tens of thousands. Of course, Jews will be targeted first because capitalism is destroying the planet.

Remember: given everything going on today, we are all Jews now.

The governor of Colorado just signed Tiaras Law which allows trans cr*minals to hide their cr*minal record. Solomon may now be able to hide his s*x offenses and cr*minal history.
---
The Governor of CO quietly signed HB1071 aka “Tiara’s Law.”

The law will make it easier for trans criminals to change their name, evade identification, & hide their criminal record.

It’s named after Tiara, a d*ag queen, convicted felon, & s*x worker.

This is the group who pushed for it to pass. [andy: the usual suspects]

RIP Colorado.

23 Voters as such don't matter much, but the Democrats do need supporters in the streets, and the campuses, and in the HR departments. And Democrats who are put off by any of this are all retirement age or near it. They don't go out burning things down and intimidating people anymore, and they'll be phased out of influential positions (and life) soon enough.

Thanks to their digital propaganda apparatus, their younger supporters, the ones who matter, want pogroms. The politically smart move is to play to them, and so the Democrats will do that. The vicious rhetoric about, street actions against, and social isolation of Jews and many other groups will continue to grow in scope and intensity.

89 Polls mean nothing, including the one in November. Fox is stupid. But if they want to promote RFK, fine... anything with potential to cause infighting among the regime is beneficial. I believe RFK has the potential to draw support and create dissatisfaction among the more radical, younger Dems who, as I noted above, are the important ones.

If their base has divided loyalties, it gives the normies a better chance at surviving the coming storm. Any anti-establishment Leftist should be considered a strange bedfellow, at least until one of them rises to leadership.

91 These protests are not organic. This is Occupy Wall Street. This is Black Lives Matter.

They're not protesting FOR Hamas. They are puppets protesting AGAINST America. The racism, nihilism, communism, anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism is baked into the big, stinking pie of putrescent evil.

The protests are Demonic. Just like Hamas, these protestors are of the Devil. There is no good in them.

I had been thinking they’d reluctantly let Trump win… but the more I realize how much they hate him I’m beginning to think they’re attitude is that that cannot be allowed to happen no matter the cost… which means the rest of this year, and especially the weeks after Election Day, could be totally chaotic

I think it might be time for Trump and his supporters who are perpetually being indicted for bullshit claims to quit playing by the left's rules and ignore these attempts to get them in court.

It's time to drop all pretenses that the left is at war with us. They will overreact. They will make the mistake of showing how far they're willing to go to impose their will on the public.

The media will make a spectacle of armed agents or soldiers swarming business suited men and women in public to arrest them for being on the "wrong side." The spin will be epic. But also complete horseshit.

“We just can’t allow this kind of hatred and antisemitism to flourish on our campuses, and it must be stopped in its tracks. Those who are perpetrating this violence should be arrested. I am here today joining my colleagues, and calling on President Shafik to resign if she cannot immediately bring order to this chaos,” Johnson said Wednesday."

I'm not at all sure that this is true. Time will tell with how hard they cheat, but so far everything they have done increases Trump's popularity. Trump gets victim points because of their direct actions against him, and resentment with the status quo increases with every governance change the administration makes. A "climate emergency" will be more of the same.

They're pathological but many of them are not stupid. I think the possibility that they want Trump should be considered. It would be a modest setback for sure and they also hate that for sure, but it would solve a decent number of problems for them as well. It wouldn't shock me if the Party's cost/benefit analysis shows that a second Trump administration might narrowly beat out his defeat.

169 The attack by Hamas on Israel on Oct 7, which included horrific terror, abuse, torture, rape, mutilation, murder and abduction of civilians, some of whom are still hostages, including Americans, caused an uprising in support for Hamas(!) in the US. I don't see these sick people as fellow citizens, rather, I see them as terrorists with the potential to do the same, as Hamas did to Isrealis, to me and my family (though we're not Jewish). They declared themselves, by their actions, as my enemy and the enemy of civilization.

Looks like this is one of those "embrace the power of 'and'" situations.

Yes, this is very much being facilitated, funded and organized by the same people that gave us OWS, #MeToo, BLM, etc.

However, it *is* being coordinated with Hamas. Hamas started these protests all across Western world within a day or two of 10/7 attack. Hell, the Girl Scouts started a fund for Palestinian kids on 10/10 (and how many others orgs did this, too?) - like, before the Israeli dead had been counted, the kibbutz fires put out, etc..

Op-ed on Tuesday's WSJ "Who's Behind the Anti-Israel Protests by Steven Stalinsky, Exec Dir of MEMRI says it is ME terrorists organizing these protests. Terrorists.

[iEvery Senior Hamas leader has acknowledged the importance of the protests and said that influencing U.S. and Western policy is a part of the organization's strategy for destroying Israel. Khaled Mashal, the Hamas leader abroad, on October 10th, urged supporters to protest "in the cities everywhere." . ..

Erosion has continued unabated, and the script has flipped. Only within known and transient good spots can you be fairly confident in your safety. React accordingly. Arm yourself and let the chips fall where they may if it comes down to it. There will be consequences, of course. There always are. But you might live through it.

This really pisses me off, far more than most similar actions.

When a cute kid tries to sell me popcorn or cookies, I now (well, for quite some time, actually, but whatever) have to decline. But the *reason* I have to decline is not that kid's fault, and the kid will be unlikely to understand why I have to decline. I just have to tell him or her, "no, thank you." If I tell him or her, "I will not because I do approve of your organization's support for various causes I find socially corrosive" or similar, he or she won't understand and will just tell his or her parent, "no, he didn't buy anything he was just mean to me."

Using organizations for children to do this stuff ensures that there is no effective feedback loop to the organization. Most people don't want to upset to children and even if the person clarifies, it is likely to be lost in translation. It sucks.

Much of it already has been. It didn't matter. What's Trump gonna do? Declassify? Sure, okay. The drone will just violate orders. Hold a press conference? The spin doctors will call it a conspiracy theory and write it off for weeks until the NPCs get the programming.

They know how to contain Trump and know now that they can get away with violating any order they please and that Congress will back them if push comes to shove. Trump lost the last "shutdown battle" - the only real recourse left - and will lose the next one if he tries it. The nuke fizzled in the silo.

Which is why I am not sure they actually care whether Trump gets in again. It would be a setback for sure, but not insurmountable - and it would give them a reprieve from public responsibility for a moment *and* let them cleanly ice Biden while saving face and prepping his replacement (probably Whitmer, maybe Newsom).

That is one of the reasons, yes. I strongly suspect that the smartest people in power positions in government are motivated by the demographic crisis.

The bulk of them don't even realize it's a problem and support an open border for different reasons, but the smart ones are trying to solve for birth rate. It's a bad solution.

I've been banging the drum about our government pushing NATO inclusion for both Georgia and Ukraine knowing since 2008 it would lead to war but the vast majority of this country still thinks Putin woke up one day and invaded for no reason. At the start of this war most here thought that as well.

Ask 5 people at your office if they know that the US government ran color revolusions in both Georgia and Ukraine and see how many know that happened let alone how many of them know they also ran a color revolution on the US in 2020 and it's still going on.

That's precisely the point.

Anyone *could* know if he wanted to do or even just got exposed to it. Yet so few do. Why? Information control, spin, propaganda and personal interest.

Most people don't have personal interest, so they don't have to be considered. You just have to shield them from too much accidental exposure. Those that do have personal interest are more dangerous, so you have to not only shield them but also supplement the shield with lies. Thankfully, however, the mechanism for doing both is the same: the propaganda complex.

They still have it, and will retain it. Trump can't break it and so they can run essentially the same playbook they developed last time.

252 And a Modest Proposal: Sue the Bastards

A competent New York prosecutor (if there were such a thing) or a non-politicized Department of Justice (fat chance!), should be investigating the source of this logistical support. These terrorists and their financial backers should then be subject to criminal charges for conspiracy in connection with the illegal acts now occurring on campus.

Absent a competent and willing state or federal prosecutor, Jewish organizations – and others – should provide financial support for civil lawsuits for conspiracy against the on-campus terrorists and their financiers. Smart lawyers can no doubt come up with numerous theories of liability. Perhaps they would include such things as tortious interference with the students’ contractual right to attend classes and conspiracy to prevent their attendance? The full discovery that goes with such a suit should be very interesting.

254 From JJ's link: And this is how BLM = what we are seeing now:

Columbia Law School students told their Jewish classmates they should not advocate for the school to bring police to campus to ensure their safety because the presence of law enforcement "makes students of color feel unsafe,"

In one message, second-year law student Aya Hashem admonished her Jewish counterparts for advocating for police presence on campus, saying it "makes students of color feel unsafe and feel as though we've learned nothing since George Floyd."

"I shouldn't have to explain why POC especially black students do not want dozens of police officers in riot gear all over campus. Why are we pretending like we don't know that this country has a serious police brutality problem, where unarmed black people (especially men) are murdered indiscriminately by police officers???"

I don't think Trump is going to fall for the old banana in the tail pipe trick again. Remember, they didn't what they were looking for at Mar A Lago.

The fact is that after everything they have thrown at Trump they are losing and not by a little. People may not know the cause of what is happening to the country but they can see it just like we do and despite 7 years of non-stop attacks on Trump is more popular than ever. And if he does win he will be infinitely more prepared and knowledgable about the swamp than he was in 2016.

Interesting read, though the author (of the article) has a distressing tendency to use "GDP" as if it were one of the actors in the events, rather than a measure.

Also, the book definitely sounds Procrustean, cutting or stretching the historical record to make it fit the model. It should be the other way round.

But it is refreshing to see someone being less than 100% enthusiastic in flag waving for "meritocracy", and does note that in the US that took hold strongest at the start of the Cold War. The record of "The Best and the Brightest" was, at best, mixed.

"If you voted for Joe Biden and the Democrats, you voted for every single thing that's happened to you. You realize that don't you? Did you support BLM, antifa, Hamas lawlessness?

And NAMBLA openly partnered with the "gay rights" groups back when the ball got rolling on that back in the 60s. The gays asked the pedos to back off when they got traction, assuring them that their time would come.

The communists openly partnered with (actually, founded and controlled from the start much of) the "environmentalist" and "feminist" movements back when the ball got rolling on that even earlier. They, too, toned down the openness of their support and control once things started growing.

There is literally nothing new about any of this. This is how *all* movements work. They're all backstopped and supported by evil groups run by evil men.

Yes. I told my husband the other day I would not be surprised if there are not maga instigators infiltrating among the students and protesting with the students.

The far right and far left bend and meet at antisemitism.

but the right is UTTERLY unconcerned with the suffering or deprivations of anyone outside these shores (and mostly, to any outside their own household). So solidarity with the Palestinian people or cause? Not even as a passing thought.

if they see any possibility in hurting Biden, they most certainly will capitalize on it. I could see a few agitators causing violence, property destruction and then having RW media blame it on leftists.

No. Take a look at where right wing media and MAGA talking points are on this subject. I think forces outside of America are stirring things up, though.

Well meritocracy, or aristocracy, theoretically means the most capable in a given area should run things in that area.

The other is to drive the polls so when the cheat happens, it's in line with the polls. Sure, Trump was up by 3. But turnout, turnout, turnout will be the MSM reply.

The nomination is sewn up, so the only purpose really is a protest vote (or a counter-protest vote).

My area is *very* heavily Republican, but during our primary, I saw ... zero Democrat ballots go out. That's a narrow range of exposure, I know because I was only in line for a bit, but zero. Zero is weird, even where I live.

There was no point. Biden had it sewn up already, so why bother, especially in a precinct where the outcome was known anyway?

340 We are we acting like Trump has no control or input over what Johnson is doing? He floated the parameters of the Ukrainians getting a loan they wouldn't have to pay back to fund the war months ago. On the FISA reauthorization, he said representatives should vote how they want on the bill. He has repeated backed Johnson throughout this. Trump is as much of an establishment hack/quisling as the rest of the GOP leadership and apparatus, maybe if even more so because he is doing so despite supposedly being against it (draining the swamp was one of his raison d'etre, no?) and the establishment and deep state aim their fire at him.

341 In point of fact, the $61 billion sent to Ukraine would build the wall several times over.

Those 80k agents were mostly brought on to go after people in the gig economy. These people are generally LIVs and don't often vote.

Trump represents a movement. He's the orange face and loud voice of at least half this country and that includes people like John Eastman and now a number of other Trump supporters in Arizona.

Yes, they are corrupt and yes they have power. They've had it for decades but are now being forced out into the open to try and tamp down a movement that is a real threat to the insider game they have been playing for decades.

We aren't a communist country, not yet anyway, and popular support still means something in this country. For how much longer is anyone's guess but they are committing open warfare against us in the courts and it is all of us who they are trying to send a message. The cases are so blatantly political it seems to be having the opposite effect.

They threw hundreds into prison for J6 trespassing because they can't have people questioning election integrity. They will have to do much more cheating this time with senile Joe. This is why I wanted Trump to be the nominee. This election will decide whether we are still the USA anymore and they know it too.

Badly written sentence, but its so true that Connie Schultz is an openly socialist columnist (formerly for the Cleveland Plain Dealer). She might even call herself a communist.

When Columbia suspended him in early April, Aidan Parisi was technically required to leave campus. . . Four days later, he posted a statement to his Instagram account detailing his refusal to leave.

"As I am writing this I am sitting in my campus apartment which Columbia University is attempting to illegally evict me from, leaving me housing, food, and healthcare insecure," he wrote. "We will resist institutional repression just as the Palestinians have resisted occupation. … We must remain steadfast in our commitment to university divestment and to a free Palestine."

"Que viva la intifada. … Inshallah, we will rise victorious."
Parisi has advertised his status as a protest leader under the X handle "itsaidanbitch" and was an easily identifiable figure on campus on Monday, sporting a gold chain, large sunglasses, a nose ring, long acrylic fingernails, and a floral basketball jersey worn underneath a keffiyeh.

Most sources reporting on Ukraine aid defer to the Institute for the World Economy (IFW) tracker out of Germany.

Per that source, the EU (institutions and member states) have allocated (that is, spent/budgeted for) 89.6 billion EUR, about half of it military and the rest financial and "humanitarian." The EU has "committed" (that is, promised) a total of 145.6 billion EUR, about a third of it military.

The US has allocated 67.1 billion EUR, 2/3 military. It has "committed" a total of 70.4 billion EUR, about 40% military. These numbers do *not* count the bill that was just passed.

The US alone has actually contributed nearly as much as all of Europe (might be higher now, with the recent bill) and most of the military aid. Throw in the UK and it matches what Europe has spent. The Anglosphere as a whole exceeds Europe.

Into the future, Europe has *promised* more than the US or the Anglosphere more broadly - but those are promises, not deliveries.

403 Same thing always goes on, poll manipulation. Polls like Quinnipiac and Marist are notorious for over weighting Democrats or switching to registered versus likely voters. They have to make Biden look at least plausible.

There is no logical reason for Biden to be closing in on Trump and there certainly is no evidence on the ground. Biden gets a couple dozen people at his speeches while Trump is drawing thousands.

Posted by: JackStraw at April 25, 2024 08:04 AM

Yep, this is prepping the battlefield for the rigged and stolen election in November. This will be a repeat of 2020.

And I would pay close attention to Texas. That is now a battleground state that I think the right is taking for granted. Just as Hillary took for granted she would win PA, MI and WI in 2016.

From 2012 to 2020, Democrats made up 630k votes. The difference in 2020 was... 631k votes. This after the difference was 1.2mil in 2012 and 1.7mil in 2004. With the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens that have invaded over the past 4 years, that easily makes up the 631k votes needed to flip Texas.

“[They restricted] freedom of speech. They banned jury trials against vaccine companies – that’s [a violation of] the Seventh Amendment. They abolished property rights [which violates the] Fifth Amendment [when] they closed 3.3 million businesses with no due process, no just compensation, although there was no pandemic exception in the United States Constitution.”

Yep. And no one who executed the Plandemic faced consequences for anything. Nothing. Not here in USA, not in Canada, not in Australia, not in New Zealand, not in Europe. No where in western civilization did anyone who perpetrated this tyranny face consequences.

The Deep State then went on to rig and steal the 2020 Presidential election and the 2022 Arizona Governor election. And went on to entrap American citizens in the "insurrection". Again, with zero consequences.

The Deep State does not do this out of fear, they do this because they can and know no one can or even has the will to stop them.

Johnson can't play against the full fledged socialist, Chuck Schumer, who - like Biden - began & will end in politics surrounded by the like minded family. I doubt much of story within the CNN article re: Joe's Team and, 'How the White House convinced Mike Johnson to back Ukraine aid,' 04/24/24. I figure Mikey - IF not already all in on that piece of political theater - was sat down & told by 'Joe's Team' to take a good look at Louisiana Economic Development (LED), Military and Defense. (You, too, in your future, Mikey, can be picking sh*t with the chickens.)

Maybe the brave Congressional folks from NY who stood with him will be OK when it comes to reelection but Ms. Foxx from NC, I wouldn't bet the farm next year. First, the NC Governor was an invitee at the State Dinner for Japan; it's heavily invested in the state. Secondly, she's a member of the dwindling Constitution Caucus & third, see K-12Dive, Feb 12, 2024, Dive Brief article, "The congresswoman has been a vocal critic of the Education Department, including its pandemic spending and Title IX regulatory efforts." (Reading of the full article suggested.)
