Kevin McCarthy Will Not Run for Re-Election as Speaker
Jake ShermanThe woke " " " comedian " " " who gained an audience not by being funny but by telling racial-hate provoking lies about racism he never suffered may have lost out on hosting The Daily Show (not much of a loss, to be honest) because his the very history of lying that brought him lower-mid-level fame.
@JakeSherman
BREAKING NEWS -- KEVIN MCCARTHY will not run for speaker again. He is about to make the announcement in closed GOP meeting
Liberal comedian Hasan Minhaj's aspirations to host "The Daily Show" may have been dashed over allegedly lying about racial experiences in his standup sets, Variety reports. Comedy Central has expanded its search beyond Minhaj amid the recent allegations that he fabricated stories in his stand-up sets, according to a Wednesday report in Variety. Minhaj was reportedly considered the heavy favorite to land a hosting role on the long-running late-night comedy talk show. The network has been searching for a permanent host for the show since Trevor Noah announced his departure in 2022.
A study in France finds that almost 70% of all violent crimes committed in Paris were committed by migrants from Africa. This is actually about the "department" -- the political subdivision -- containing Paris, the Ile-de-Paris, though this area includes the suburbs or banlieus around Paris as well.
This week in "diversity is our greatest strength" news, a recent report from the statistics bureau serving the French Ministry of Interior has concluded that nigh on 70% of violent crimes in the Paris metropolis were committed by non-French perpetrators last year. France's "greatest strength" appears to be subway rape. Via Remix News:They should all be forced to stay where they belong -- in Texas.Doing some quick math using the data provided -- African migrants committing 52% of violent crimes while accounting for a mere 3.2% of the population -- we discover that they are statistically overrepresented in the violent crime category by a factor of 16.
Last year, 69 percent of violent robberies and other violent crimes, including sexual assaults, on public transport in the greater Paris region of Île-de-France were perpetrated by foreign nationals, according to the annual figures of the SSMSI, the statistics bureau of the French Ministry of Interior. However, looking closer at the data, it is revealed that Africans alone are responsible for 52 percent of such crimes while only representing 3.2 percent of the population of France. Even for all of France, the data clearly shows that African nationals account for 42 percent of the above-mentioned types of crimes, way above their statistical weight within the French population. Regarding crimes specific to public transport, the situation has actually not changed substantially over the years. The last time Remix News reported on such data in 2020, 69 percent of sexual assaults were committed by foreigners at that time as well.
The bodega owner that Alvin Bragg threw in Rikers for defending himself is now
suing the pro-crime fake Soros DA.
On July 1, 2022, Jose Alba, a New York City bodega worker, found himself in a life-threatening situation when he was attacked by a man and his girlfriend. He used a knife to defend himself, killing the man. The footage showed the entire encounter. Yet, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg still saw fit to try prosecuting him. Now, Alba is firing back through the court system.
Advertisement Bragg dropped the charges against Alba after a fierce public outcry against his arrest. Bragg is now suing the district attorney for violating his civil rights.
The New York City bodega clerk who had murder charges dropped after video showed he acted in self-defense is suing District Attorney Alvin Bragg and NYPD for civil rights violations. Jose Alba, an ex-bodega worker who was attacked behind the counter on July 1, 2022, by 35-year-old Austin Simon and his girlfriend, Tina Lee, filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of New York on Friday alleging he was wrongfully prosecuted because of the Manhattan district attorney's "racial equity" policies. The complaint names Bragg, NYPD Detective William Garcia, and unidentified arresting officers and detectives of the NYPD as defendants in the case. "New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg and/or his subordinates, following Bragg's policy to achieve 'racial equity' in the Manhattan criminal justice system, charged Plaintiff with murder in the second degree and asked for high bail at Plaintiff's arraignment," the complaint states.

How much did I nail this? The article makes the exact defense that I predicted, namely that the 14th Waffen SS wasn't convicted of war crimes.Well that's just nit-picking, innit it?I feel like I should win something. You have to love how the author's argument basically comes down to, "Russia says it, so it must be wrong." For someone who wants to lecture on how history is complicated, that's pretty contradictory. Did Russia use the standing ovation for the nazi in Canada as propaganda? Yes, but that doesn't mean the guy wasn't a nazi and the Waffen SS, including the 14th Grenadier Division, weren't doing really awful things during the war. Is there evidence they directly participated in the Nazi death camps? Apparently not, but there's plenty of evidence they raped and murdered civilians (including Jews) in order to keep the population in line. That includes the infamous massacre of Huta, a village in Poland that was literally wiped out by the 14th Grenadier Division, with somewhere around a thousand women and children killed.
According to Russia's ambassador in Canada, Hunka's unit "committed multiple war crimes, including mass murder, against the Russian people, ethnic Russians. This is a proven fact." But whenever a Russian official calls something a "proven fact," it should set off alarms. And sure enough, here too the facts were invented out of thin air. Repeated exhaustive investigations -- including by not only the Nuremberg trials but also the British, Canadian and even Soviet authorities -- led to the conclusion that no war crimes or atrocities had been committed by this particular unit.

One of the reasons why the unit as a whole was not handed over to the Russians is because some unit members came from Soviet conquered portions of Poland.

The French offered quite a number of the soldiers from Waffen SS units they had a stiffy for the choice of execution or joining the FFL, and a lot of those wound up both in Indochina and Algeria, and almost wound up in Paris in 1969.

So what's the plan? Because I'm not seeing it.
If 100% of Democrats vote for something, usually you're on the wrong side.
Yes, most Republicans that have to answer to tough elections every 2 years in their district and therefore aren't as "conservative" as want them to be.
So clearly, the answer is we simply don't govern.
Despite the country melting down, I see Democrats cleaning up at the next election because we are rudderless and have no plan except settling scores within.

"Why do African migrants commit over 70% of violent crime in France?
Here's the crux of the response: "In conclusion, it is not accurate or fair to claim that African migrants commit 70% of the violent crime in France. Crime rates are influenced by multiple complex factors, and attributing them solely to a specific ethnic or national group oversimplifies the issue. It is essential to approach discussions about crime rates with sensitivity and rely on authoritative sources for accurate information."

After Gingrich, the GOP decided no more drama--so they selected a guy that liked kinky sex clubs--Bob Livingston, fired him, and then ended up with blackmailed Coach Denny Hastert the Child Molester. Then we get Boerner the Drunk and a friend to every lobbyist wanting to be service, Ryan the Traitor because McCarthy was allegedly favoring a certain Renee Elmers too much at the time, and then McCarthy the Squish.

"Why do African migrants commit over 70% of violent crime in France?
Here's the crux of the response: "In conclusion, it is not accurate or fair to claim that African migrants commit 70% of the violent crime in France. Crime rates are influenced by multiple complex factors, and attributing them solely to a specific ethnic or national group oversimplifies the issue. It is essential to approach discussions about crime rates with sensitivity and rely on authoritative sources for accurate information."

And not for what his commentary on the Speaker thing would've been. We'd have learned a LOT that we don't now know, and Maja Rushie would've laid it all out.
No, what I miss Rush for RIGHT NOW, is having him finish out that term AS SPEAKER himself, even without being an elected member of The House.
The howls from the left would've been epic. Tears from the (alleged) right, the same. But, there'd have been some clear-eyed LEADERSHIP in there, at least for a season.
And imagine, if you will. A speech from the well, before a Joint Session of Congress. And Rush's speech sounding more like him getting really rolling on a monologue, vs. the pomposity of the typical Speaker's dronings-on.
There is only ONE THING I think Rush "missed it" on. He said, he'd tell us when it's time to panic. I think it's never time to panic.
He should've told us when it was time to take up arms, instead.

I asked the AI why black people can jump higher than white people. I got a 12 paragraph response supporting that supposition....and here's the conclusion.
"In conclusion, black people can jump higher than white people due to a combination of body proportions, flexibility, muscle fiber distribution, genetics, and cultural and environmental factors.

Hopefully they will be better.
Maybe they will be worse.
They will not be is Kevin McCarthy.
One thing they can do is take all the promises McCarthy made, and immediately do the actions they can, and set a schedule to do the rest. Build some trust.

The entire 'fraud' rests on valuation of property.
ie... what supposed experts say Trump's properties were worth, vs what HE said they were worth.
Now they say that he used those valuations to 'defraud' creditors into giving him loans he otherwise would not have gotten... when to me if the BANKS did not do their due diligence... it would be on them. Note, none of these properties were used for collateral for loans.

is an American politician and financial professional serving as the U.S. representative for Florida's 19th congressional district since 2021. His district, which was once represented by former Senator Connie Mack III and former CIA Director Porter Goss, serves most of the heart of Southwest Florida, including Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, Estero, and Naples.
Born and raised in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, Donalds attended Florida A&M University and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in finance and marketing from Florida State University in 2002.
Before entering politics, Donalds worked in the finance, insurance, and banking industries. A Republican, he was a member of the Tea Party movement and unsuccessfully ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2012. Donalds represented the 80th district in the Florida House of Representatives from 2016 to 2020.
In the 2023 Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives election, Donalds received enough Republican votes to deny Kevin McCarthy the speakership in the fourth through 11th rounds of voting.

So while I'm not indifferent to the political scene and its antics like today, nor am I going to stroke out over day-by-day events. I'm more concerned with long-term trends and stand against the further decay in our culture.

It's why Conservatism is doomed. You are opposed with a group that wants to destroy it all. They've told you they intend to destroy it all.

Yes. McCarthy surrendered to the Senate and Biden and lost his job, his fault.
Don't care who comes next or nothing gets done because they are not doing any legislating anyway. The Senate is telling the House what to do essentially.
This was also a warning to Mitch and his flying monkey staffers---the clock is running out on him as well.

Under senate rules, one senator can cause that whole institution to shut down by denying unanimous consent. Tuberville is doing it on holding up generals being promoted for example.

WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump issued a full-throated endorsement of House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy on Wednesday morning, hours before Republicans planned to return to the floor to try again to elect a speaker.
"Some really good conversations took place last night, and it's now time for all of our GREAT Republican House members to VOTE FOR KEVIN, CLOSE THE DEAL, TAKE THE VICTORY," Trump wrote in a post on the Truth Social media platform. "REPUBLICANS, DO NOT TURN A GREAT TRIUMPH INTO A GIANT & EMBARRASSING DEFEAT."

If all we have are 8 "conservative" Republicans, we're screwed. Fortunately, we have many more, who are sensible.
To Mr. Gaetz, all I have to say is this. If you vote with every Democrat (against 95%+ of Republican Reps) to get rid of the Republican Speaker (without a backup plan!) then maybe YOU are the RINO.

Not that the House's was perfect but at least we aren't using more tax dollars to start WW3! And they only voted for the House version to try and save McCarthy. Lot of good it did them.
