Democrats' attempt to silence RFK Jr. fails

I didn't think I'd see the day when Democrats would attempt to silence a member of the First Family of the Democratic Party, the family that gave us Camelot and supply-side economics. I'm referring to the Kennedy family. The Democrats made a motion to move the House Permanent Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government into executive session with the hope of not letting RFK Jr. testify before the Committee in open session.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz made the motion. Rep. Thomas Massie made the motion to table Ms. Wasserman-Schultz's motion. In the end, the Massie motion prevailed on a straight party line vote of 10-8, meaning that Rep. Wasserman-Schultz's motion was tabled.

That wasn't the only time that Democrats attempted to silence RFK Jr. At another point, Ranking Member Stacey Plaskett got into an argument with Subcommittee Chairman Jim Jordan. Jordan "mentioned he might get additional time given some witnesses getting additional time in the past. That set Plaskett off. 'Let’s just squash the time for all the witnesses, then,' Plaskett said in a snippy fashion. Jordan then said sarcastically, pointing out her goal, 'And if you want to cut him off and censor him then, you’re welcome to.'"

Plaskett has a nasty temper, which is why House Minority Leader Jeffries assigned her this committee position. This is how Plaskett behaves during this Committee's hearings:

This is the explosive exchange between Ms. Plaskett and RFK Jr:

Ms. Plaskett is technically true. She didn't attempt to censor RFK Jr. Instead, she tried talking over RFK Jr. while he attempted to defend himself from the Democrats' vicious attacks.

It's painfully obvious that Democrats plan to run the nastiest campaign in U.S. presidential history. FDR once famously said "All we have to fear is fear itself." Today's Democrats are totally different. All these Democrats have to offer is fear itself. There was a time when Democrats were the 'Party of Ideas'. That was when Bill Clinton was president and when Daniel Patrick Moynihan was the senior senator from New York. Those policy wonks left in 2001.

The Democrats have been the 'Machine Party' ever since. That isn't a compliment. Instead of being led by men like Bill Clinton and Daniel Patrick Moynihan, they've been led by dirtbags like Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer and Harry Reid.

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
