McConnell Pushes GOP to Work With Democrats

School Shooting
Posted By: AmericaFirstAlways, 5/27/2022 4:15:49 PM
In what conservatives will surely label a “sell-out” by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), the Senate Minority Leader on Thursday “encouraged” Senate Minority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas) to work with Senate Democrats to “find a consensus on some legislation to respond to the shooting in Texas.” Translation: Gun-control legislation. As reported by CNN, McConnell met with Cornyn early Thursday and encouraged the senior senator from Texas to begin discussions with key Democrats, including Sens. Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, to see if they can find a middle ground on legislation.

Disney may have grown relatively quiet after a reported backlash over Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill, but the company isn’t losing steam where LGBT support is concerned.
The Mouse recently released its animated Lightyear to less than bountiful box office acclaim, and some might suggest one factor against the film was its same-sex kiss. Disney had cut the scene but reinstalled it after its showdown with Ron DeSantis.
Nonetheless, its next animated project may sport more Rainbow radiance than ever before: Strange World will include a gay teen romance.
Matthieu Saghezchi — Emmy-winning animation production designer — caught a glimpse of the movie while attending France’s Annecy 2022 International Film Festival.
Consider the date of July 14, 2000, and what the world was like on that day: Bill and Hillary Clinton were still in the White House, doing heaven-knows-what. The Twin Towers in lower Manhattan were still standing tall, with very few Americans having ever heard of Al Qaeda. And innovations such as smartphones, Uber, and iPods were only available in our imaginations.
Overall, it was a relatively non-descript, summer day almost twenty-two years ago, but July 14, 2000, is indeed memorable this reason: It is the last time CNN experienced ratings as pathetic as they did last Friday.
According to Mediate:
“CNN capped off a weak week in the ratings on Friday,

Let’s just be frank here, even if the Democrats will not be.
The Jan. 6 Committee has nothing to do with the truth or “justice.” It’s about trying to do all they can to hurt the Republican position before the midterms, and deflect from the horrible results of the policies of Joe Biden and the Democrats. Just as importantly, it’s about doing whatever they can to block out President Donald Trump from ever becoming president again, so they can hold onto their power.
They don’t get that the more they throw down on this exercise, the more it antagonizes most of the American people, who are concerned
If the mainstream media is indeed merely a pseudo communications department of the Democratic Party – which it is – then CNN is the co-chair of that department, with MSNBC as the other. There is no outlet in America’s corrupt collection of leftwing media that better serves as a Democrat cheerleader than CNN, though MSNBC occasionally gives them a run for their money.
Therefore, a question: How bad must the situation be in order for CNN to not only report on bad news for President Joe Biden and his party – which is itself highly unusual – but to also accurately interpret that news and offer a reasonable opinion?
No other tiny human since Napoleon Bonaparte has had the outsized ego of Tony Fauci. OK, Robert Reich is a close third.
The list of things America’s lawn gnome got wrong is legendary. I’ll leave that to other RedStaters to dissect and roast. I am in the midst of a medical “problem” that keeps me from drawing my cartoons, en masse, but I could not resist lampooning the quadruple vaxxed, double-masked oracle of fear and nonsense for contracting COVID.
It was too rich to pass up.
Retire, you toxic lawn gnome. You’ve done enough damage.
There’s an age-old philosophical thought experiment that asks, “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it still make a sound?” But after Thursday’s stunt by the Democratic Party known as the ‘Capitol Assault Hearings,’ we have a new, modified version that asks this: “If a failing political party puts on a primetime TV extravaganza but no one tunes in to watch it, will it make any difference in the November elections?” Food for thought.

When Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz is on it, he is on it.
Cruz is at his best on Tuesday during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on H.R.350 — The Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2022 — yet another politically expedient bill, ushered through Nancy Pelosi’s House in the aftermath of the Buffalo supermarket mass shooting in early May.
As Cruz begins his comments, he lays out three basic propositions on which, he said, Republicans and Democrats alike should be able to agree.
There are 3 propositions that should bring Senate Democrats and Republicans together:
1: Violent crime is unacceptable and should be punished severely.
2: Hate is wrong.

We’re not supposed to notice that the collectivist actions of one nation’s socialist party just happen to mimic the actions of other nation’s socialist parties or one particular National Socialist German Workers’ Party, that’s just a coincidence, don’t pay any attention to that.
Have you ever noticed that our esteemed national socialist media spends an inordinate amount of time attacking anyone who dares to compare their collectivist actions to other collectivists? Have you also noticed that you can be sure a socialist nation has failed when our nation’s socialist media suddenly decides that it was somehow, someway ‘right-wing’?

On Wednesday, Beto O’Rourke disrupted the press conference of Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas officials to appeal to people on the left and look as though he was doing something about mass shootings in his run for governor. But it didn’t go over well, rightly being termed a crass political stunt by many, including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), one of the officials who were on the stage having to address the tragedy.
Beto did get some positive press from the liberal media including from CNN’s Chris Cillizza, saying now was the time to use “political momentum” for gun control. It just showed how
State Farm agents across the country fielded angry phone calls on Monday from customers who were either threatening to cancel their policies or who flat-out canceled them after hearing news that the company had partnered with The GenderCool Project to donate books regarding transgenderism and gender fluidity to schools in order to “increase representation of LGBTQ+ books and support our communities in having challenging, empowering, and important conversations with children Age 5+.”
The story contained a January 22, 2022 memo from Jose Soto announcing the program.

Temperatures in New Hampshire are expected to hit close to 100 degrees this weekend before tailing off to more seasonal weather. The Warmists will be all aflutter, so this seems like a good time to point out this little fact: Arctic sea ice is growing above the 30-year average.

Soccer star Megan Rapinoe says parents need to realize their children’s sports just aren’t “that important.”
The former Subway spokeswoman gave a recent interview in which she chastised parents for making a big deal out of trans athletes in girls’ sports.
“I would also encourage everyone out there who is afraid someone’s going to have an unfair advantage over their kid to really take a step back and think what are we actually talking about here,” the 36-year-old said. “We’re talking about people’s lives. I’m sorry, your kid’s high school volleyball team just isn’t that important.”
A new, two-story afro pick statue was unveiled in New Orleans on Friday in honor of Juneteenth, but while Mayor LaToya Cantrell called the structure “breathtaking,” not everyone sees it that way.
"As Juneteenth approaches, we celebrated with an unveiling in Lafayette Sq," Cantrell tweeted about the 24-foot tall hair pick that has a clenched “black power” fist on top. "This sculpture is very fitting for this time & place as we celebrate the freedoms that we have gained We know that it doesn’t come without struggles, fights, and protests for 200+ years."
The imposing pick is part of the Monumental Tour, a traveling exhibition of large-scale outdoor works by Black artists.
Only a “massive” and immediate scaling-up of funds and humanitarian relief can save Somalia from famine, a UN spokesperson has warned, as aid workers report children starving to death “before our eyes” amid rapidly escalating levels of malnutrition. In a message to G7 leaders who are meeting from Sunday in Germany, Michael Dunford, the World Food Programme’s (WFP) regional director for east Africa, said governments had to donate urgently and generously if there was to be any hope of avoiding catastrophe in the Horn of Africa country.
“We need money and we need it now,” said Dunford.(Snip)Last year, the UK and other G7 leaders promised to provide $7bn
Barack and Michelle Obama's multiyear deal with Amazon's podcast platform Audible is worth at least $20million, experts have claimed.
The couple will have to contribute two shows and appear in up to eight episodes each, the industry insiders said.
The move will give the former first lady the scope to make less personal appearances than what was wanted under their former partnership with Spotify, the sources said.
Audible said the pair plan to use their new platform to 'tell stories that elevate diverse voices and and experiences'.
The Obamas cut ties with Spotify after reportedly clashing with the streaming giant over exclusivity and how much they were expected to appear in episodes.
CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin ignored recent examples of progressive violence when he went on "At This Hour With Kate Bolduan" on Wednesday to condemn "the pervasiveness of right-wing violence."
Toobin appeared on a panel discussing the ongoing Jan. 6 hearings and potential connections to former President Donald Trump. In the latest hearing by the Jan. 6 Committee on Tuesday, state officials testified that they received several threats and attacks from people after refusing to overturn the 2020 election results.
Toobin argued those threats were further proof that "right-wing violence" is now pervasive throughout the country.
Well, it happened. The Republican Party decided to play nice, try to get some good press with a media establishment that hates them, and join the legions of the righteous and blessed by hashing out a gun control bill during a midterm election cycle. Is everyone up there hitting the crack pipe? What are we doing? What the hell is this? We have category five hurricane gusts to our backs heading into November—and the GOP decided to do what it does best: find a new way to blow it.
The economy is primed to enter a recession as the second-quarter report is bound to show another period of economic contraction.

Joe Biden on Wednesday delivered remarks on soaring gas prices from his fake White House set in the South Court Auditorium.
Biden repeated the same lies in his speech and blamed Vladimir Putin for high gas prices.
“Let’s remember how we got here: Putin invaded Ukraine,” said Biden.
This is a lie.Gas prices spiked before Putin invaded Ukraine. [Chart] Even Biden’s Fed Chair Jerome Powell on Wednesday fact-checked Biden’s lies on rising prices.
“I promise you I’m doing everything possible, everything possible to bring the price of energy down,” Biden said.
More than 21 million paper tax returns are still waiting for processing by the Internal Revenue Service, as the tax agency struggles to swiftly disburse refunds to American households, according to a watchdog report released on Wednesday. Most taxpayers file their returns electronically, but millions of others — disproportionately the elderly — still fill out their returns manually. National Taxpayer Advocate Erin Collins said in her report that the IRS backlog this year is 21.3 million paper returns, 7 percent more than the 20 million that were awaiting processing at the same time last year. The report may add to the political

A congressional chief of staff was caught vandalizing property within the Capitol Hill complex, but despite recommendations for criminal charges from Capitol Police, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has refused to prosecute him.
Just The News reports that 51-year-old Timothy Hysom, the chief of staff for Congressman Jack Auchincloss (D-Mass.), was arrested by Capitol Police after he was caught on surveillance camera footage defacing posters outside the office of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) in the Longworth House Office Building.
Capitol Police additionally revealed that they believe Hysom to be involved in as many as seven different incidents of posters being defaced outside Greene’s office

We haven’t even had the 2022 election yet and talk of 2024 is already heating up. Naturally, Donald Trump remains at the top of the conversation on the Republican side, but Ron DeSantis has become nearly as talked about as a probable challenger. The latter has burst onto the scene the last two years as a no-nonsense, fighter of a governor who also has a knack for making the liberal press look ridiculous. Those are skills that GOP voters love, and they’ve earned DeSantis high marks nationally from the Republican base. That he’s also become the leader in the culture wars has only caused his star to rise further.
Just how far has he risen? The first primary poll
Elections will not legitimize any government if they are rigged. We must end the absurdity whereby a private corporation can be hired to count our votes and then refuse to prove to us exactly how it got the final numbers. If the system is not completely transparent and auditable, you can never be confident in it. You can be completely justified in suspecting that it is fraudulent. When the public no longer trusts those who count the votes, then the outcome will be chaos.
The 2020 election was rigged, but it is not up to us to prove that.
Polio may be spreading in the UK for the first time in nearly 40 years, health chiefs warned today as they declared a 'national incident'.
Officials have found traces of a vaccine-derived version of the virus in sewage samples in parts of London and say it is 'likely' transmitting within the community.
Parents are being urged to ensure their children are up to date with their polio vaccinations, particularly after the pandemic when school immunisation schemes were disrupted. All British children are supposed to have had the first of three polio jabs as a baby (Snip) The remaining, type 1, wild polio remains endemic in only two countries, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
