I just watched @BretBaier ‘s interview with @LeaderJohnThune . If you think you were pissed after last Tuesday’s blow out, you probably shouldn’t watch this arrogant, smug, shoulder shrugging, sack of guts spew excuse after excuse.

Mitch McConnel and other Rhinos wanted President Trump to go to jail if he tried to run again in 2024.
They were happy with Deranged Jack Smith prosecuting President Trump.
The "Old" Republican party could not forgive President Trump for "stealing" the party from them.
It is not a moral position, they want access to the money and return to business as usual.

Almost nobody is talking about this, and it should outrage every American:
Just yesterday, Republicans in the House and Senate picked their leaders for the next Congress.
Behind closed doors - by SECRET BALLOT.
In the House, Jim Jordan beat Steve Scalise 106-73. The only reason we even know the count is because lawmakers leaked it to reporters.
In the Senate, John Thune was handed his job again after a wipeout that cost Republicans at least seven seats. Senators who wanted to delay the vote were shot down 31-15. Also in secret.
We don't know who voted for who. Not one name.
Democrats do the exact same thing.
Here's the part that should make your blood boil:
NOTHING in the Constitution requires a secret ballot.
NOTHING in federal law requires it.
They made this rule up themselves and they could end it tomorrow with one vote. They just don't want to.
We elected these people.
We pay their salaries.
We pay their staff.
We pay for their offices.
We pay for their security.
We pay their pensions.
They're using our money to run a private club that decides who runs Congress on our behalf.
That's not representation - that's a secret society.
Every one of these votes should be public, on the record, with a name attached.
If you're proud of your vote, show it.
If you're hiding it, the voters deserve to know why.
END THE SECRET BALLOT - NOW!

“Thune,” “Betrayed,” & “Disgusted” are the top 3 trending topics right now.
Senator Thune said it’s only the online community who feels this way.

Well well well...
Alaina Kunes, one of the freshman girls at Ole Miss who went viral for making monkey gestures/sounds at a Ring doorbell issued an apology saying she had NO IDEA THE WOMEN BEHIND THE DOOR WERE BLACK:
"To the women I offended and to the Ole Miss community, I sincerely apologize.
Before the incident on November 6, I never met the women involved and was unaware of their race, however, I recognize my actions were insensitive, inappropriate, and deeply harmful.
I would never truly understand the pain I have caused them and what I did is not a reflection of who I am trying to become."
The incident is still under investigation but thousands of people are now calling for the girls to expelled from the college.

You’re a fraud too who didn’t even have the courage to call out John Thune by name. Every single Republican senator needs to be primary and replaced. You’re all worthless. Come on say some joke and pretend it’s funny while our country goes down the tubes, you all
Talk weakling..

The real issue is that every time the GOP has power, they squander it, then allow Dems to out message and out strategize them.
They’re terrified of winning.
Modern day Republicans are feckless cucks who prefer to complain and raise money as the minority in opposition.

You mean that this entire time, they could have filled every single judicial vacancy in just a couple weeks?!
🚨 JUST IN: Flanked by John Thune, Senate GOP Whip John Barrasso announces they are pushing to APPROVE ALL remaining Trump judicial nominees before Dems take over and ensure 0 vacancies
FOLLOW THROUGH, GET THIS DONE!
"We have a bold agenda going forward. We will waste no time...that means ALL these judicial appointments, we're gonna do everything we can to get every single one of them approved...we will leave NO vacancy behind."
I heard it, now I want to see it in action!
Because Dems aren't approving ONE conservative to the federal judiciary when they take over.

John coker has been jailed for this vicious and violent robbery of a disabled pensioner.
At the time of his conviction, he'd amassed 172 previous offences including 80 offencs against vulnerable people.
Surely the key should've been thrown away!

There was a time that I would have been ecstatic to get Jim Jordan.
That time has passed. Just another grandstanding, do nothing.

During the 2021 disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan that cost 13 American service members their lives, the Biden Administration droned and killed an innocent family of ten, including seven children.
Democrats completely ignored the incident, pretending like it never happened. You will not find a single Democrat post about it.
A few Republicans feigned some outrage, but that’s all they did because that’s all they ever do. The media barely even touched it.
Imagine the Democrat/MSM/Massie reaction if it had been the Trump admin that had killed that family after botching that withdrawal. 😜

Bukele didn't invent anything. He's simply doing what every state did before this ideology took over: protect the innocent first.
For a very simple reason: it's not a resources problem. It's an ideology problem.
The UN spent more than $7 billion over 13 years on its peacekeeping mission in Haiti. Thousands of troops, billions more in aid, NGOs on every street corner. When it left, the gangs moved in. Today they control the capital.
El Salvador, a country of 6 million people that was itself the murder capital of the world a few years ago, sends 2,000 soldiers and pays for most of it out of its own pocket. Within weeks, the leader of 400 Mawozo is writing to the UN Secretary-General, begging for "dialogue."
A fraction of the money. A fraction of the time. Real results.
The difference isn't technical. It's moral.
In the ideology that captured our institutions, taking out a gang leader is never "the solution." The solution is mediation, reintegration, "root causes," a ten-year disarmament program. The criminal is always a victim of the system. The real victim, the mother whose son was kidnapped, the village being extorted, becomes a line in a report.
Empathy for the executioner. Indifference for the victim.
It's the same software that broke the justice system, where people worry more about rehabilitating the repeat offender than about the safety of those riding the subway. The same one that broke schools, where nobody dares to demand anything anymore. The same one that tells young people having kids is a problem for the planet.
And it's the same structures, the same profiles, who ran Covid with absolute certainty and zero self-questioning.
What Elon exposed with USAID is exactly this: an ecosystem that lives off the problem, not off solving it. Haiti is the textbook case. Billions poured in after the 2010 earthquake, and the country is worse off than before. When your budget depends on the crisis, you have zero incentive for the crisis to end.
Bukele didn't invent anything. He's simply doing what every state did before this ideology took over: protect the innocent first.
Based.

Two Republican senators from Arkansas, with Democrats about seven weeks from taking over the Senate, have decided this is the moment to sit on one of President Trump's last appeals court picks… because they wanted somebody else.
Let me explain what is going on. Trump nominated U.S. District Judge Lee Rudofsky to the Eighth Circuit, and according to judicial nominations insiders, John Boozman and Tom Cotton are working against him because they preferred Arkansas Supreme Court Justice Cody Hiland for the seat. Nobody, on either side, is questioning Rudofsky's record or his qualifications… they just wanted their guy.
When he had his hearing in September, his own home state senators did not even introduce him, which almost never happens, and this week Boozman put out a statement saying he continues to "appreciate Judge Rudofsky's service in the Eastern District of Arkansas." Translation… stay where you are. The Judiciary Committee vote is set for November 17, and if they get their way it never moves.
Rob Luther, who worked judicial nominations in the White House Counsel's Office in Trump's first term, says Boozman is standing in the way of the first Trump-majority circuit court. Mike Davis called it an unforgivable sin for Boozman and Cotton. And they are right. You do not get to lose the majority, burn the last weeks you have on a turf fight over who gets the robe, and then go home and tell Arkansas voters you stood with the President.
How is this even a thing? The voters just told you they are done with a Senate that does nothing, and the first thing you do with your final weeks of power is protect a favor? Make no mistake, it is not Democrats standing in the way of this nomination, it is Republicans, and they are doing it quietly hoping none of you notice.
I have watched this movie for years. The cool kids club takes care of its own and the people who put them there get the bill.
@JohnBoozman @SenTomCotton, move the nomination. Seven weeks. Let him through and stop playing games with the bench.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
🚨 UPDATE: Arkansas GOP Sens. Tom Cotton and John Boozman are being accused of BLOCKING one of President Trump's final appeals court nominees, Judge Lee Rudofsky
Wtf? LET HIM THROUGH!
Judicial nominations insiders say the two are opposing Rudofsky's Eighth Circuit nomination because they want a different pick: Arkansas Supreme Court Justice Cody Hiland, per Bloomberg
Attorney Mike Davis: "This is an unforgivable sin for Boozman and Cotton." @mrddmia
Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are accused of "doing their bidding" on the Judiciary Committee 😠
TRUMP IS CLEAR: DO NOT LEAVE ANY VACANCIES FOR THE DEMS.
CONFIRM NOW.

The 15 Senators who voted to delay the vote for minority leader so there would be enough time for a challenger to challenge Thune, should identify themselves publicly so we know who actually tried to do something and get rid of Thune, and who did nothing. We deserve to know.
Just so you understand how rushed the process was, two Senate races weren’t even called yet and yet they already voted on a leader.
They allowed Sullivan and Hyde-Smith to vote.
31- voted to hold the vote for minority leader today with Thune being the only contender
15- voted to delay the vote so there could be time to rally for a new leader to challenge Thune
I spoke with a few sources in D.C. about what happened today with the Senate minority leader vote.
I’m told the speed at which the vote was carried out was deliberately designed to favor the incumbent.
There was no time for a challenger to campaign to even try to unseat Thune. Thune was the only contender.
Thune spoke to all the Senators today. I’m told he sounded angry and defensive.
31 GOP senators then voted to force the vote for leader through today. It’s a secret vote so there’s no official list.
Many Senators spoke in favor of delaying the vote. Those include:
Ron Johnson
John Kennedy
Mike Lee
Rick Scott
Ashley Moody
Dave Mccormick
Jim Banks
Rand Paul
Note that speaking or not speaking in favor or against doesn’t determine how anyone voted. It was a secret vote so there’s no way to know for sure how any Senator voted unless they decide to publicize it.
Absent a death or resignation, a Republican Senate Leader has never been replaced mid-Congress after they were voted in.
It seems unlikely anything will change. Thune will be the leader.
I’m told there’s a lot of frustration.

I can’t even believe what I just watched
American college student shows his professor at the University of Michigan
I can’t believe people are paying for this insanity. The teacher is Dr. Laura Yakas, she teaches ‘Engaging Social Justice, Diversity, and Oppression in Social Work’
She’s literally singing about how horrible America is
When people say our college universities are liberal and Marxist indoctrination camps, THIS is what they’re talking about
This woman needs to be fired

BEAUTIFUL! Tens of thousands of Polish patriots are flooding the streets for Independence Day, flying their flags—and even American flags!
The fake news calls them "far-right" simply for loving their country, opposing socialism, and defending their borders.
GOD BLESS POLAND! 🇺🇸🇵🇱
