Is Pelosi a lame duck speaker?

I've thought for some time that Kevin McCarthy was right when he called Nancy Pelosi a lame duck speaker. Today, additional proof is apparent that he's right:

Regardless, Nancy Pelosi is using the news to take a baseball bat to the progressive wing, even as the far-left group of lawmakers spent yesterday evening lodging threats. According to Pramila Jayapal, there are dozens of Democrats ready to kill the infrastructure bill unless there’s something more than a framework on reconciliation. Yet, Pelosi is casting them aside and moving forward anyway, saying she wants the former bill passed today.
The Nancy Pelosi that pushed Obamacare through had a larger majority but she had some tough nuts to crack. Think Bart Stupak. Still, she got it done.

Today's vote, if it happens, will be a major defeat for both Biden and Pelosi. Biden will be landing in Rome on a major international trip with egg on his face and weakness as his suit of armor. There's no way to sugarcoat this. Pelosi won't be able to hide the fact that she's lost her touch of delivering big victories to Democrat presidents. A loss is a loss.

If Shepard Smith says that the Biden Build Back Better Bill "is on life support at best", rest assured that it's circling the drain. It won't be with us for much longer.

Credit Larry Kudlow's 'Save America. Kill the bill.' campaign with killing the bill. He's led a substantive critique of the bill while highlighting the political divisions within the so-called Democrat Party.

These days, Nancy Pelosi has squawked like a duck an awful lot. With this defeat, she's been exposed as not controlling House Democrats anymore. She's speaker-in-title-only. These days, the Squad owns the Democrat House Caucus.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
