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.

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...
