The battle to be King 'Rat among the rapidly sinking Democrats is now going full steam. According to Politico: The race to succeed Speaker Nancy Pelosi as the leader of House Democrats may have been clinched at a meeting in the Capitol on Sept. 1. That’s when House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn of South Carolina and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York slipped back to Washington to connect in Clyburn’s office during the summer congressional recess at Jeffries’ request. Jeffries, the fifth-ranking House Democrat who aspires to be the first-ranking House Democrat in the next Congress, was picking up heightened chatter from colleagues about California Rep. Adam Schiff’s outreach

This is a fight for who gets to be in line for the Presidency once Joe is removed and Kamala tanks. The thought of either one of them as speaker should strike cold fear in anyone paying attention.

adam schiff, not the Adam Schiff from Law & Order, will be the next leader of the rabble known as the demcommie party reason: demcommies do not like black people and will only allow black people to rise to one level and no higher and moreso, demcommies feel that black people should only be cleaning houses and selling/using drugs and being sent to prison at astronomical rates

Picking Schiff would be proof positive that the Democrats will have learned nothing. The man is a bug eyed bald faced lying conspiracy theorist leftwing barking moonbat. Of course he should be the face of the treasoncrat party. But ohhhh...but the possibility of a black male leftist that wears his belt above his crotch!!!! What to do, what to do. Jeffries could clynch this if he openly self identified as a black female, pregnant, chest feeding, lesbian.

#2 With a Republican majority in the House the Democrat party leader will not be in line for the Presidency. Either one will be repulsive and take the party further into the gutter but I would rather see anybody but Schiff.

Poster #4 - - If Jeffries wears a belt - - then he ain't black! Belts and shoelaces are confiscated from prisoners - - so anyone outside of prison who wears them - - simply ain't down with the cause.

A serial liar (Schiff) or serial racist (Jefffries) are the best the Democrats have to offer? People will keep Pelosi in charge just to seem palatable to the American people. Or, they can bring in a non Congress member to be their leader like Obama, or Hillary as an act of desperation.

By democrat standards, Schiff is the more qualified. A sleazy, lying, narcissistic, low IQ, despicable, pencil-necked, power-mad, California-bred, hate-filled, obnoxious, did I say lying? twit of a man whose only strength is ambition. Nancy demonstrated to us for decades that ambition is not a qualification in that position.

Now that Democrats have lost the House, longtime House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said that she is reassessing her future and will make an announcement today. According to the Daily Mail: With Republicans set to take over the House of Representatives and Democrats slated for leadership elections at the end of the month, outgoing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's will tell people her plans on Thursday.

Less than a week after Democrats "won" most of the midterm election, something pretty weird is going on in various Democrat power centers, in a curiously counterintuitive pattern of acts and weather balloons: Joe Biden forced his wokester Customs and Border Protection commissioner, Chris Magus, a man of open borders with no shame, to resign, in a tussle of sorts over whether he was to resign or be fired. Politico had reported that he had "lost interest" in enforcing the border and dozed off at meetings, which is pretty much the Biden modus operandi, a knock-on act emanating from the fish that stinks

Joe Biden would have you think he's this ace inflation fighter, doing God's work out there for the little guy, to counter the dread Putin and Big Oil, who are busy whipping up inflation. On days when it isn't "transitory" of course. Following the release of the Bureau of Labor Statistics's October CPI on Wednesday, which showed the CPI at 7.7% on the year, down from 8.2% last month, Biden crowed: "Today’s report shows that we are making progress on bringing inflation down, without giving up all of the progress we have made on economic growth and job creation.

For Joe Biden, it looks like one disgusting speech deserves another. Biden is expected to address the "ongoing threats to democracy" in a primetime speech with the Capitol as a backdrop. According to NPR: Days ahead of midterm elections, President Biden is giving his closing argument on the state of U.S. democracy with the backdrop of the U.S. Capitol, where the Jan. 6 attack took place. It follows with some radio reports that are doozies of pious flapdoodle on the state of U.S. democracy from the forked perspective of the Democrats -- which can be heard here.

At newspapers, obituaries are typically written in advance. The Washington Post had plenty to work with when the death of Lucianne Goldberg happened, but instead of remembering good, or at least balancing their summary, they selectively chose to remember the great muse of the right, Internet pioneer, and accomplished woman from a time when women weren't allowed much accomplishment, by printing only cherry-picked tales of dubious sourcing that made her look phony. It was garbage. It stood in stark contrast to the insightful and warm-hearted tweets that overwhelmingly were the consensus on Twitter, from wildly different parts of the Internet spectrum.

Elon Musk became Twitter Inc's (TWTR.N) owner on Thursday, firing top executives and providing little clarity over how he will achieve the lofty ambitions he has outlined for the influential social media platform. "The bird is freed," he tweeted, referencing Twitter's bird logo in an apparent nod to his desire to see the company have fewer limits on content that can be posted. The CEO of electric car maker Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) has, however, also said he wants to prevent the platform from becoming an echo chamber for hate and division.

The Twitter executives who were fired include Parag Agrawal, Twitter’s chief executive, Ned Segal, the chief financial officer, Vijaya Gadde, the top legal and policy executive, and Sean Edgett, the general counsel, said the people, who declined to be identified because they were not authorized to speak publicly. At least one of the executives who was fired was escorted out of Twitter’s office, they said.

Paranoia and fearmongering -- you can just smell it among the Democrats and their boosters. Today they got caught putting out bare naked disinformation about Republican plans for the country once they win the midterm election. They claimed Republicans were going to steal grandma's Social Security check and tax veterans benefits, among other unpopular ideas no credible party would ever endorse. These Democrats know they're slip-sliding away, you can see it even in the governors' races now, so the idea now is to scare the voters into voting for the Democrat status quo instead of embrace a new party.

Faced with questions about his ability to lead after the midterm election debacle, a defiant Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell deflected blame from his own culpability in the Democrats retaining control of the upper chamber and instead blamed it on public dissatisfaction with MAGA candidates. The embattled McConnell spoke to reporters on Tuesday, defending his dismal performance and the refusal to adequately fund candidates who were endorsed by former and perhaps future President Donald J. Trump such as Blake Masters in Arizona, instead spending money to support RINO Lisa Murkowski in Alaska against her America first opponent, also a Republican.

The 37-10 vote—which was conducted behind closed doors—comes after an underwhelming midterm election cycle for Republican Senate candidates that opened McConnell up to a challenge from Florida Senator Rick Scott, the head of the National Republican Senate Committee and a longtime rival of McConnell's who has sought to make inroads into Republican leadership for years.

In an extensive live interview with Bret Baier from New York, where he is promoting his political memoir, So Help Me God, published yesterday (including an hour-long town hall on CNN tonight), Pence used the high-profile platform of Fox News to position himself as a sane, moderate, Christian-inspired alternative to President Trump as well as any other candidates among the growing number who plan to challenge President Biden in two years.

Sen.

'We're short of workers, we have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it used to,' the New York Democrat reasoned. 'The only way we're going to have a great future is if we welcome and embrace immigrants… get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many there are here.'
