He Screwed Up

Oh, Chuck, screwed up royally here. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the Senate Majority Leader, is probably the only Democrat right now who can be in that spot. That doesn’t mean he has an iron grip on the caucus in the likes of the late Harry Reid. Schumer announced his intention to tweak the filibuster to pass the Democrats’ elections bill. Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) were already vocal opponents, which killed this idea. It’s a 50-50 Senate, though Chuck and the rest of his party think they have this wide mandate to do whatever they want—they don’t.

It now sounds like, at least quietly, there are others like Tester and Kelly that are telling Chuckles they are not on board with this, either. Other than the commie left, most people don't want a rubber stamp Congress. It should not be easy to pass complicated legislation, and the bigger the package, the harder it should be. Most of the crap we pay for couldn't pass unless it was buried in huge omnibus packages like Build Back Bolshevik and the John Lewis Voter Cheater Act. This kind of garbage should not pass without 60 or even 67 votes in the Senate. The very attempt to carve out the filibuster for this is the left trying to do an end run around Rule 22 in the first place, which would normally take 67 votes to do. Chuckles has the rest of the caucus burning up the phone lines trying to pressure Manchin and Sinema into flipping. I don't see it happening this late in the game. Both are dug in, and see the handwriting on the wall if they flip over now. All that will happen here is that Corn Putz is going to burn a lot more of his waning political capital to get another loss under his belt.

I had to laugh. "Don’t be mad at us for getting stuff done when the GOP is in charge", said the writer. Ha!! When has THAT ever happened. If, as seems likely, the Repubs take the Congress next year they won't have a veto-proof majority so they can pass all sorts of things the people want. Then whoever is manipulating Joe's hand will veto it, and McConnell and McCarthy can throw up their hands, sit back in their comfy seats, and say, "Look how hard we tried." And nothing will change.

Not an AOC fan, but would like to see her primary Chuck, just so I don't have to listen to him any longer. With Pelosi retiring as well, things will at least seem a bit brighter.

Judge fines cancer patient, 72, for overgrown

A hardline judge has fined, ridiculed and ruled that a 72-year-old Michigan man with lymphoma “should be ashamed” of being too weak to mow his overgrown lawn. Burhan Chowdhury of Hamtramck, a community about six miles north of Detroit, admittedly fell behind in yard maintenance after he was diagnosed with cancer of the lymph nodes in 2019. His overgrown property prompted local officials to subpoena Chowdhury. In now-viral footage of the Zoom court hearing on Jan. 10, Chowdhury’s breathing appeared labored as Judge Alexis G. Krot of the 31st District Court berated him. “You should be ashamed of yourself,” says Krot, in a video shared Jan. 12 on social media,

Starting from day one of the first case of COVID-19 reaching the United States, Epidemiologists have investigated and tracked the virus in order to determine how to control or stop the spread or prevent it from happening again. Often called “Disease Detectives”, Epidemiologists search for the cause of disease, identify people who are at risk. As the number of cases and deaths climbed former President Donald Trump’s White House Coronavirus Task Force was asked to formulate a plan to combat the “pandemic”. For some unknown reason, Dr. Fauci and the team minimized the benefits of natural immunity when considering what draconian measures to recommend to the President.

Even as President Joe Biden was spewing deplorable falsehoods about his political opponents in Atlanta, the chickens of his administration's economy were coming home to roost. Wednesday's Bureau of Labor Statistics report on inflation, revealing last month's 7% inflation rate, sets yet another 40-year record, harkening back to the bad old days of double-digit interest rates and Paul Volcker's bitter medicine for the economy of the early 1980s. With this week's report, it is clear that the Biden economy is in an inflation crisis. It is a crisis that neither Biden nor his useless Twitter-addicted senior staff has any clue how to fix.

Researchers from Oregon State University announced that certain compounds with cannabis are able to block the virus responsible for COVID-19 from penetrating human cells. The study, led by Richard van Breemen of Oregon State's Global Hemp Innovation Center, College of Pharmacy, and Linus Pauling Institute, was published Monday in the Journal of Natural Products. A pair of cannabinoid acids were found to bond with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and block a vital part of the process that allows the virus to infect people, van Breemen said. "We identified several cannabinoid ligands and ranked them by affinity to the spike protein," van Breemen said.

Old Joe Biden has claimed that he was once arrested in South Africa while trying to visit Nelson Mandela, and on Tuesday, Biden revealed for the first time ever that he had been arrested during the civil rights movement.

Wednesday morning's release of consumer price data for December shows that costs have soared seven percent in the previous 12 months, a level of inflation not seen since 1982. The dour news from the federal government's Bureau of Labor Statistics seems to confirm predictions of inflation continuing in 2022, bringing more bad news for Americans struggling to bounce back from the Wuhan coronavirus under President Biden's economic policies.

A young man who looks like a teenager walks into a liquor store and pulls a bottle of cheap whiskey off a shelf. He puts it down at the checkout counter and pulls out his wallet. The clerk at the counter looks at him skeptically. "Can I see your ID?" he asks. "Yes," says the young man, who instantly takes his driver's license out of his wallet and hands it to the clerk. The driver's license indicates to the clerk that the customer in front of him had turned 21 two months ago. He sells him the cheap whiskey. Then another young man walks into the store.

In many ways, the Omicron variant of COVID-19 has been disappointing for Democrats and their hypochondriac base. While hospitalizations are up and cases are way up, length of stay and severe outcomes are down. In fact, a new study was just released that showed that out of 52,000 patients, researchers couldn’t find a single person who was put on a ventilator. Deaths also are also not following the case curve as in past COVID spikes.

I have to say I’m so tired of hearing the term “voting rights” being pushed by the Democrats. Anyone who can legally vote can vote. No legislation that the Republicans are pushing is depriving one person of the right to vote. What they deal with are voter integrity issues like having voter ID or ballot harvesting — that’s what Democrats don’t want because those measures help to prevent fraud. As I noted over the weekend, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claimed election integrity bills were a “legislative continuation of Jan. 6.” But while she said pushed that insanity, Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) gave the game away,

Campus culture is on the move.

Ranen Miao — president of WU’s student body — lays out the feelings of nearly 50 co-signed enrolees.
