Ben Sasse obliterates Chris Murphy

This week, Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy attempted to shame a group of Republican senators for voting against the omnibus spending bill that funds the government for the rest of this year. Murphy did his best to virtue-shame these GOP senators. Murphy's bad fortune is that Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse stood up to him.

Contained in the omnibus spending bill was funding for Ukraine. Rather than put Ukraine funding in a clean bill, Democrats put the funding in with their Christmas wish list spending bill, which they knew was loaded with poison pills for Republicans.

Sasse was one of the Republicans who voted against the omnibus spending bill after saying that Joe Biden had taken his time in supplying Ukraine with lethal military aid. Rather than put up with Sen. Murphy's grandstanding, Sen. Sasse chose to question Murphy on the Senate floor:

This is the original tweet that touched off the firestorm:

Chris Murphy is a jerk. Sen. Sasse should be applauded for exposing him as a egomaniac trying to score partisan points on Twitter. The other thing that Sen. Sasse should be applauded for is exposing the Democrats' technique of stuffing must-pass legislation full of ideological poison pills. These poison pills are frequently payoffs to the Democrats' special interest allies.

It's time to flip the Senate from D to R. Rs have their imperfections but a high percentage of Democrats put America last. (More on that in another post.)

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...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
