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.

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
