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.)

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
