Why is the Uniparty afraid of shutting government down?

Now that the Omnibus spending bill has passed the Senate, it heads to the House of Representatives, where it'll pass, then sent to Joe Biden's office for his signing. Somewhere, a pundit is writing that it's futile to vote for Republicans or Democrats. The logic is that there isn't much of a difference between the 2 parties.

Actually, I yearn for the day when we still had 2 viable, vital political parties. Those days are relegated to the history books, I'm afraid. The Democrats aren't into debating anymore. They'd prefer shutting down a debate before it's allowed to start. That's where Cancel Culture started.

Cancel Culture started with Democrats accusing Republicans of being racists or being phobic of one sort or another. But I digress. Back to why the Uniparty refuses to let the government shut down.

It's just a theory but part of the reason for not letting the federal government shut down is to hide the fact that government is vastly overbloated. With each shutdown comes reports of nonessential employees getting laid off temporarily. If the government doesn't shut down, those nonessential employee reports disappear. Problem isn't solved. It's just hidden by the Uniparty.

Another part of the problem is that Mitch McConnell is afraid of a philosophical fight. Why shouldn't we have a spirited debate over whether government is performing its functions properly and at a reasonable price.

This omnibus bill isn't just funding government for the rest of the fiscal year. It's distracting attention away from the Biden catastrophe on the U.S.-Mexico border.

In this video, Bill Melugin reported that the Biden administration still hasn't published the November border report:

Notice that Biden's administration is punctual publishing reports that it considers to cast the administration in a positive light. The October report showed 230,000+ illegal immigrants getting in. It isn't a stretch to think that the November report will be at least 230,000+ again. Again, I digress.

The omnibus spending bill should be thought of as a collection of slush funds intended to get the incumbents re-elected. This doesn't have anything to do with doing what's right by the people. Doing what's right by the people frightens the Uniparty.

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
