John Fetterman, man of the people?

At a rally yesterday, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman introduced himself as John Fetterwoman. In past times, Lt. Gov. Fetterman has touted himself as a man of the people, a populist. Frankly, he's simply weird. These days, he's both weird and recovering from a stroke. The stroke is hurting Fetterman's ability to speak.

The ability to speak isn't that important if you're a welder or construction worker. It's vitally important if you're a politician. At his first 3 rallies after his stroke, Fetterman spoke a combined 15 minutes at them. That's right -- 15 minutes total. I'm not talking about averaging 15 minutes per speech.

As terrible as that is, that isn't Lt. Gov. Fetterman's biggest problem. Lt. Gov. Fetterman's biggest problem is that he's a socialist to the left of Sen. Bernie Sanders. Lt. Gov. Fetterman thinks that letting one-third of the prisoners out of Pennsylvania's prisons won't make Pennsylvania's neighborhoods less safe. What idiot thinks like this?

It's possible that this man might actually represent Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate: That's a frightening thought. What's more frightening is the fact that Fetterman wants to eliminate fracking, which is an $80,000,000,000 a year industry in Pennsylvania. Picking Fetterman to represent Democrats on the ticket in Pennsylvania shows that they don't care about Pennsylvanians as much as they care about getting another ideologue into the Senate. Let's remember that ideologues don't listen to their constituents. They listen to their wishlists. If inflation is rising, the ideologue's highest priority is passing election integrity legislastion. That sounds like hyperbole but it happened earlier this year.

The only reason it failed was because they couldn't reach the 60-vote threshold to end the filibuster. BTW, Fetterman wants to end the filibuster. I'm with Bonchie on this:

My support of Mehmet Oz means my opinion won’t mean much to those who support Fetterman. But really, I beg of them to watch that clip and believe their eyes and ears. This farce has gone on long enough, and it needs to be stopped at the ballot box. Don’t elect someone to such an important office that is so obviously incapable and unqualified. The current president has shown us how that turns out.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
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
