Prolly lettuce.

22 Thune’s public refusal to do anything with the SAVE act helps cover his refusal to promote any presidential appointments, most egregiously is Thune ensuring these appointments can’t be made in recess. This should be a much bigger deal than it is, I think. There’s no functional difference between a Thune or a Schumer majority leadership.

23
What has the vaunted United States Senate done for us lately? Remember, they are the self-described "greatest deliberative body on the planet!"

Uh, they've deliberated?

Jeez, there's no pleasing some people!

As has always been the case, activities are not accomplishments.

Politicians never understand that. Nor do too many voters.

24 Nothing will happen.

25 Elaborately scripted Hollywood productions. Failure Theater. It sort of looks like they are … doing …. something. The ratchet only ever seems to turn one way, though. They dependably become very wealthy, though. Weird, huh?

26 I like my senators to do nothing. Nada, zippo, zilch.

The problem is they do too much....stealing, robbing, raping, molesting, gerrymandering, bribing and grifting, all the while growing more and more greedy as they enter their 80s.

That will continue as long as people allow it to, and it looks like people are finally tired of Cornyn. Perhaps the good people of SD will finally wake up, but I doubt it. They like that their guy heads the Senate.

Most of our "rulers" are so detached from reality that nothing except kicking them out of Washington will wake them up. (And most will go back to be a different kind of parasite, a lobbyist.)

"The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around. What do you see? Business people, teachers, lawyers, carpenters... these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it."

38 I see that Thune and every other GOP Senator can't post on X without getting completely trashed by MAGA. They don't care and keep posting their fake achievements.

51 Who benefits from our country's slide into 3rd world sh*thole status, courtesy of illegal voting? The Democrat junta obviously. But why would Thune support the continuation of this destruction of our constitutional republic and its conversion into a majority-rule "democracy" without any of the checks and balances that have defended our freedoms for 250 years? Is it as simple as Thune's desire for the status quo, which makes his life quite easy, but will ultimately destroy our republic?

If so, he might be even sleazier and amoral than the typical senator, and that is saying a lot.

The really sad thing, and I'm sure Thune knows it, is-

that the Democrats are so insane and so...what?...bloodthirsty, and straight up communist now, and the numbers so close in the Senate and House that-

we literally can't vote for the Democrat to boot his sorry ass out of office as well as his fellow sorry asses by voting for the Democrat.

If he's not primaries out, he stays.

Refusing to support his voters, his party, and his country,. What a bought and paid for scumbag puppet.

57

In selecting an appropriate visual symbol of the Senate in its founding period, one might consider an anchor, a fence, or a saucer. Writing to Thomas Jefferson, who had been out of the country during the Constitutional Convention, James Madison explained that the Constitution's framers considered the Senate to be the great "anchor" of the government. To the framers themselves, Madison explained that the Senate would be a "necessary fence" against the "fickleness and passion" that tended to influence the attitudes of the general public and members of the House of Representatives. George Washington is said to have told Jefferson that the framers had created the Senate to "cool" House legislation just as a saucer was used to cool hot tea.

Saw a pic of her. She looks like she could drop dead at any moment.

67 I've said it before but having worked there, Senators are lazy sacks of shit. All of them.

They don't write legislation, they don't have spirited debates, and they spend as little time in the Senate chamber as possible. It's 6-year job security and they simply don't give a fuck to do anything other than fundraise and eat nice meals and get drunk with their colleagues and the lobbyists buying the drinks.

Doing real, actual work is foreign to most of them because a lot of them haven't had an actual job in 30+ years, if ever.

Especially once you get into leadership like Thune, you know you're on easy street until you finally decide to retire much too late (Mitch) or just drop dead while in office, so you have even less incentive to do anything more than jack shit.

People say things but...

No, the Vice President cannot declare the Senate to be in recess. The authority to recess the Senate lies with the Senate itself, typically exercised by unanimous consent or a majority vote, not with the Vice President.

While the Vice President serves as the President of the Senate and presides over its sessions, their role is largely ceremonial in day-to-day operations. Senate rules and precedents establish that decisions about adjournment or recess are made by the body through unanimous consent or formal motion.

Some sources clarify that the Vice President, as Presiding Officer, can influence legislative timing post-cloture but this does not extend to declaring a recess. The Senate’s ability to control its own proceedings is protected under Article I, Section 5 of the Constitution, which grants each chamber the power to determine its rules and adjournments.

I initially read that as "cats."

105 The real question is:

How does a Republican majority in this senate differ from a Democrat minority?

The democrat minority gets what it wants.

106 Aye. 👍

In South Dakota state politics, Senator John Thune has traditionally maintained a policy of public neutrality in intra-party primary matchups, choosing instead to focus his political support on local defense, agricultural infrastructure, and law enforcement groups. (AI Overview)

And this appears to be the last Senate press release Thune/his office posted that discusses the SAVE Act: Recent Press Releases, Thune on DHS Funding and SAVE America Act Progress
“[H]opefully we’ll have cooperation from Democrats to end the government shutdown.” March 24, 2026

In part, “Overwhelming support for the SAVE America Act, the Democrats said – Chuck Schumer said out here last week – that they support voter ID.

Well, we’re going to give them an opportunity to evidence that by putting it up for a vote.

Later, I’ll be filing an amendment that would require photo ID, and we’ll see what the Democrats do."
---
Fooled again? Nah.

He knows the dems would likely take photo i.d. but they can often be obtained through state Department of Motor Vehicles, or equivalent commissions or agencies, without verification of birth & U.S. citizenship.

107 Thune has been on the government teats since 1985 and a parasite office holder since 1997.

Leadership.

Trump and his loyalists need to start a new Party, with a new name, and appeal to all MAGA voters to leave the GOP. And appeal to LIV moderate Dems to do the same.

Invite a short list of MAGA friendly Republicans to the Party. Explicitly banish any unnamed elected Republican to the outer reaches, never to be acknowledged as a human being, let alone a candidate.

Run fresh blood in every primary the incumbent does drop out of (many will, they are hopeless in a fight against MAGA). Where they don't, bankroll the fuck out of the race against him.

Put MAGA names on every ballot in 2028, even if it's an unknown.

I was disappoint that Trump -- or those adjacent to him like his sons -- never organized or created a MAGA Party or similar Org back in 2015, even were its mission the vetting & training of MAGA Candidates going forward.

I remember the book "One Minute Manager" and its advice that the top priority of a good (nay great) manager is to train replacements able to do the job themselves should the need ever arise.

122 Trump did the smart thing, using the name and legacy of the existing party. Same thing the commies have done with both parties.

Any new party immediately gets banned from everything for racism or whatever. Even if it doesn't get banned which it will if it gets remotely viable, it gets branded by the media and fake viral SNL and once that happens forget it.

And even if the best happens and it becomes viable you have one or more cycles like what's going on in UK where it merely splits the right and leaves a weakened left still hanging on by default.

The GOP is the most important part if the Democrat Party. If you kill it, the rest of the Party will die too. Yes, it may take a little while. But the system can't survive without a controlled opposition Party.

124 Think a lot of this voter ID debate comes down to word play and/or interpretation.

Here's wacko Pennsylvania's current system, in brief:
Voters generally do not need to provide ID unless they are voting in a district for the first time.

Under the SAVE Act, a Pennsylvania driver’s license (including a REAL ID) would no longer suffice on its own to register to vote, as these IDs do not legally prove U.S. citizenship. Citizens would need an ORIGINAL birth certificate or U.S. passport to register.

Civic organizations urge rejection of the bill, warning that requiring in-person documentary proof of citizenship would dismantle Pennsylvania’s popular online voter registration program used by millions.

It also doesn't want to use a fed data base to id non-citizens on voting lists.
--------
Original birth certificates stay in government vaults. A passport or RealID, requires a CERTIFIED birth certificate.

That is an official, state-issued copy of that record. It bears an embossed or raised state seal and an authorized signature, and it is the only version accepted for legal purposes like passports, driver's licenses, and employment.

See usa dot job/birth certificate.

The Morning Report — 5/ 14/26

Good morning kids. I will try to be charitable this morning by asking the simple question, is this guy deaf, dumb, blind and clueless or worse, a miserable collaborationist Quisling?! I don't live in South Carolina so I don't know this guy's record. But given the blast of infernal heat that this nation has endured for generations, regardless there is just no fucking excuse!

State Sen. Shane Massey's (R-NC) first time talking to the president came last week when Trump called him to discuss how he wanted the redistricting to happen, the New York Times reported. The Republican leader of South Carolina's state Senate defied President Donald Trump and voted against a redistricting effort that could have slashed the state's only Democrat-led congressional district, arguing that "South Carolina is stronger when we have a vibrant Democratic Party." Contrary to Trump's wishes, Massey joined four other Republicans in voting against the proposal that would have allowed for the Senate to reconvene later this month for a redistricting effort.

As a complete aside, regardless of the spelling, just what the hell is it with people named Massey, (the late great thespian Raymond, notwithstanding)?!
I am of course referring to RINO sex-pest Tom from Kentucky.

Shane, the fucking problem and the reason that this nation is a red nether hair's breadth from plunging headlong into the abyss is because it has had to endure the very same "Vibrant" Democrat party and the fires of hell it has unleashed on us going back almost to the founding. In what insane version of reality is South Carolina better with James Clyburn anywhere within 10 billion light years from the levers of power? Ditto his entire party.

And a hearty fuck you to this loathsome turd of a RINO too:

Republican Governor Tate Reeves has suggested that Mississippi will not redraw its congressional maps before the 2026 midterms.

I suppose Tate Reeves and Shame, er ShaneMassey think Germany in 1933 was much more vibrant with the Nazis, eh fellas?!

And here we are nearly 100 years later and we've got vibrancy out the wazoo!!!

On the whole right now I'd rather NOT be in Philadelphia. . .

A Pennsylvania House candidate endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.), Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.), Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D., Md.), and other leading far-left figures has hailed notorious cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal as one of several "Black freedom fighters" and "elderly political prisoners" and called for his release from prison.

Chris Rabb (D.), a five-term Pennsylvania state representative running to represent the state's Third Congressional District, cosigned a letter from the Philadelphia Democratic Socialists of America last month urging Gov. Josh Shapiro (D.) to free the 71-year-old Abu-Jamal from prison, where the former Black Panther is serving a life sentence for the 1981 murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner.

If Shapiro wants to burnish his prospects for the Democrat nomination in '28, dim as they are being white, male, non-homo, and mostly Jewish by birth, he will find some flimsy excuse to cut this animal loose. If they can steal a national election and create the Russia collusion hoax, surely they can fake exculpatory evidence. Be that as it may, the problem is in not recognizing who and what the enemy is, and our worst enemy is right in our midst.

On a positive note, it was rather nice to see Chip Roy, whose record at least from what I have seen over the years has been spotty at best, come out with this statement:

Roy laid out Islam's growing foothold across the globe, including his home state of Texas, which has seen a surge in Muslim immigration and Islamic communities. . . "Over the past few years, Shariah-based legal institutions have taken root in American communities, and nowhere is this problem worse than in my home state of Texas," Roy said during the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitution and Limited Government hearing.

Wow, bravo Chip Roy who absolutely gets it. That said the term Islamism is a dodge and camouflage. It's ISLAM, period full stop. Islamism perpetuates the lie that Islam itself is benign and only fringe elements are insane terrorists. That is of course a dangerous myth. I suppose to go full Robert Spencer and call it out for what it is would have been too much insofar as inviting the usual suspects to shout racist, Islamophobia, Xenophobia, etc. ad nauseam and be politically within third rail territory. Still, this is about as close to calling the proverbial spade a spade as I have yet to see any real American politician, declare. So at least it's something.

On another bright note, to compare and contrast with the aforementioned RINO flunky sellouts, CBD and I had a fantastic conversation on the latest episode of the podcast with friend of the blog and now FRIEND Jeffrey Carter, a bright, outstanding patriot who is running for the office of Treasurer of the state of Nevada.
Linked here and in the sidebar and at the usual outlets listed at the bottom of the post.

If we had more Jeff Carters running, and please God, winning, perhaps the term RINO would become extinct and then before long, Democrats along with them! Support Jeff Carter at Jefcarternv.com

On these positive notes, I hope you all . . .

Have a good day.
