Schumer rips 'MAGA' Supreme Court after
9-0 vote on EPA waters rule
Posted By: Moritz55, 5/25/2023 5:07:59 PM
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., slammed the Supreme Court's ruling Thursday that limited the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to regulate bodies of water, calling it a "MAGA" court even though the decision was 9-0. On Thursday, the high court issued an opinion that narrowed the EPA's broad definition of Waters of the United States (WOTUS). The court said the federal government must define WOTUS as a water source with a "continuous surface connection" to major bodies of water. The decision upended an attempt by the Biden administration to regulate wetlands, lakes, ponds, streams and other "relatively permanent" waterways, which had relied on a broad reading of the EPA's authority

The agreement reached Saturday night between Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Joe Biden is an historic first step toward shifting government back toward common sense and conservatism. It is a step toward creating a smaller government, lower taxes, less regulation, economic growth, prosperity, and more take home pay. All of this will also strengthen Social Security and Medicare.
I emphasize itâs a first step because that is what I lived through in 1995 in our first year as a Republican House majority (the first in 40 years). Step by step, we got budget changes, moved from welfare to work, cut taxes, and reduced bureaucratic regulatory overkill.
What a Difference a Real DA Makes

Chesa Boudin, named after cop-killer Joanne Chesimard, and son of Weather Underground terrorists Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, was elected district attorney of San Francisco in November 2020. Criminals were happy with the outcome.
âChesa Boudin threw a monkey wrench into the cityâs criminal justice system,â recalls Richie Greenberg, San Francisco resident and business consultant. âAmid a series of high-profile cases, his promise to release repeat criminals and to allow quality of life crimes to go unpunished, San Francisco descended into a scofflaw paradise.â
If the shocking 2016 presidential election of Donald J. Trump taught us anything, it should be that voters can still be unpredictable and unpollable, and that millions of them believe that the entrenched elites from both political parties no longer hear their voices or speak for them.
Voters are continually seeking a new champion. Will Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. become such a champion? I believe so â at least as far as the Democratic primary process is concerned. When that process is final and all the votes from the primaries and caucuses have been tabulated, I believe Kennedy will emerge as the Democratic nominee for president in 2024.
Why Wonât Republicans Move On From Trump?

What some mainstream conservatives and pundits arenât considering, given our bleak 2024 electoral landscape (unresolved DNC-sponsored mass mail-in voting; an open border with millions of people streaming across it; an administrative state and media complex actively colluding and working against the people) is that Trumpâs era was, and probably is, the last time flyover country will ever see executive representation in Washington again.
Looking ahead to 2024, we should ask, Have the voters in that overlooked regionâso breezily dismissed time and time againâchanged in any marked way? Are they ready to move on? If anything, theyâve become even more alienated and disgusted by the Washington establishment than they were in 2016.
Jordan Neely was given a heroâs funeral in Harlem last Friday, eulogized by New Yorkâs most prominent race activists before an audience of the cityâs Democratic elite. Neely died on May 1 on a New York City subway car, after being restrained by a Marine veteran who was trying to protect his fellow passengers from Neelyâs psychotic outbursts.
Neely has been turned into a symbol of a racist system of law enforcement and of civilian values that exaggerate the threat of mentally ill vagrants to keep minorities down. Three weeks after Neelyâs death, on May 21, another homeless man in New York City slammed a womanâs head
"It's time to pay." Those four words from Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush are being heard a lot by Democratic politicians across the country this month. For Bush, the debt amounts to $14 trillion in reparations for Black Americans. In California, activists are demanding as much as $5 million per Black resident and asking Gov. Gavin Newsom "where's the money?" One member of Newsom's Reparations Task Force demanded that the state pay its "sin bill"
In New York and Chicago, mayors are balking at towering costs from migrants being shipped from the border to their "sanctuary" cities.
A Florida Black business owner said travelers thinking about vacationing in the Sunshine State should ignore the NAACPâs recent travel advisory. "I would tell Black people who have seen this advisory to not come to Florida to simply ignore it," Mike Hill, the owner of an independent insurance and financial services agency in Pensacola, told Fox News Digital. The NAACPâs travel advisory, issued earlier this week, accused Florida of being "hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals." The organization said in a press release that the action was "in direct response to Governor Ron DeSantis' aggressive attempts to erase Black history and to restrict diversity, equity,
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said he sees âno serious threatâ to Kevin McCarthyâs (R-Calif) Speakership amid the ongoing bipartisan debt ceiling deal.
As House Republicans and the White House scramble to come up with a debt ceiling deal, Gaetz predicted on a Twitter Spaces livestream that a bipartisan deal would pass with âabout 80-100 Democrat votes and between 140-160 Republican votes.â âI think there is no serious threat to McCarthyâs speakership,â the Florida representative added.
Gaetz was one of the most vocal opponents to McCarthyâs election of Speaker earlier this year, as 1 of the 20 hard-line conservatives who withheld support from the California Republican throughout the Speaker election.
US President Joe Biden said on Thursday that a US debt default would be avoided, hailing "productive" talks with Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy ahead of a looming deadline to agree on more borrowing.
Biden's statements to reporters on Thursday came a week before an estimated June 1 deadline at which point the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve say they would be unlikely to continue covering for the nominal inability to borrow in other ways, as they have in the first months of the year during the standoff.
CNN delivered "horrible news" for President Biden as the network's latest polling offered a grim forecast ahead of his 2024 reelection bid. The poll released Thursday show a whopping 66% of Americans view a Biden victory in the upcoming presidential election as either a "disaster" or a "setback" for the United States.
"Horrible news, horrible for Joe Biden," CNN anchor Jake Tapper reacted to the poll.
"Those are some bad numbers," he later added. CNN political director David Challian provided analysis of the poll that showed 41% of Americans specifically called a Biden win a "disaster," a slightly
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador again waded into the U.S. political situation on Thursday when he urged Hispanics not to vote for newly-declared presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis â the latest example of the Mexican president meddling in U.S. elections against Republicans. Lopez Obrador spoke at a press conference a day after DeSantis declared his candidacy for the Republican nomination for president in 2024. DeSantis has taken a hard stance against illegal immigration, and has called for greater security at the border â including shutting down the border with Mexico.

One of the most maddening things about modern culture is the whole issue of pronouns. At the very least, itâs annoying that some people trumpet their pronouns, choosing to base their identity on how people address them when talking about them behind their backs. But itâs even worse the way some people freak out over people using the wrong pronouns as if other people have nothing better to do than keep up with what everybodyâs pronouns are at any given moment.
Prounoun obsession is the ultimate form of narcissism; itâs entirely self-focused to think that everyone should bend to the whim of what you want to call yourself.
Former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney implored new college graduates to not compromise when it comes to the truth, excoriating her House Republican colleagues for not doing enough to combat former President Donald Trumpâs lies that the 2020 election was stolen.
In a commencement speech at Colorado College, the Wyoming Republican repeated her fierce criticisms of Trump but steered clear of talking about his 2024 reelection campaign or her own political future.
Cheney, who graduated from Colorado College in 1988, recalled being a political science student walking into a campus building where a Bible verse was inscribed above the entrance that read, âYe shall know the truth and
Multiplatinum singer Jewel performed the national anthem before the 2023 Indianapolis 500 and fan reaction was ... mixed. Indy 500 fans called the performance everything from 'The best I've ever seen' to 'mangled.' As part of the opening ceremonies, New Mexico's Holloman Air Force Base also sent four F-16 Vipers to this year's Indy 500. Here's the replay, and what fans had to say about the performance and opening ceremonies at IMS. (Snip) Jewel butchered the national anthem at the Indy 500. People were trying to sing along but couldn't because of the way she sang it. What a shame.

is 'offensive' to poor people,' CNN commentator complains 28 replies
Republicansâ "obsession" with work requirements are "offensive" to poor people and could produce a backlash, CNN political commentator Ashley Allison said on Sunday.. She appeared on a panel discussion during "State of the Union" to react to the news that Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., reached an agreement to raise the debt ceiling after months of debate. McCarthy has argued that while some Republicans were unhappy with the concessions in the agreement, there is "not one thing in the bill for Democrats." One of the Republicansâ concessions, however, included removing work requirements for social programs like Medicaid and
Bud Light sales fell for the sixth consecutive week as the nationwide boycott continued over the beer companyâs partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
One store, according to the New York Post, is charging $3.49 for a 24-pack â about $0.15 for one can â to get rid of unwanted beer.
Bud Light volumes for the week ending May 13 fell 28.4 percent, following a 27.7 percent drop the prior week, the report said, citing Beer Business Daily. (snip)
Since then, sales have tanked and Anheuser-Busch has so far lost nearly $19 billion, with shares down 14 percent.
Some stores are effectively giving the beer away for free.
New Hampshire Republican Governor Chris Sununu will decide whether he will run for the GOP nomination for president in the next week or two, he told CNN on Sunday.
While the governor has been mulling a presidential run for the past few months, he told CNN âState of the Unionâ host Jake Tapper that heâs making sure itâs âright to the partyâ and right for him before jumping into the race. âI think very soon,â Sununu responded when asked about his impending decision. âI donât do coy very well. So when I start doing something, Iâm 120% in.
A 12-year-old boy who wanted a challenge graduated from a California college last week, where he was presented with a historic five degrees.
The pre-teen, Clovis Hung, is the youngest person to graduate from Fullerton College, the university said.
Hung started attending the school in Fall 2020, when he was just 9 years old and his mother had pulled him out of traditional public school claiming her son was highly self-motivated and goal-oriented.
âClovis is super inquisitive, mature, diligent, self-disciplined, and highly motivated,â Hungâs mother, Song Choi, said in a statement released by the school. âHe is also very curious and traditional public schools could not satisfy his curiosity,

Trump, who is a longtime ally of the state's top lawyer, described Paxton on Saturday as as 'one of the most hard working and effective Attorney Generals in the United States'.
That came hours before the Republican-led House of Representatives voted to impeach Paxton on 20 counts that included bribery and abuse of public trust.
Answering the Big Question: Ron or Don?

A very dear friend and a former Heritage Foundation associate responded to my last column on American Thinker with the following:
Happy to tell you in a private email why the GOP needs to dump Trump (for whom I voted twice), but it requires too many bad words that would cause my dear late mother to go for the soap for use in a public forum. For starters, let's just say he's a thin-skinned, immature, undisciplined **shole who is ignorant by choice, erratic in his behavior, and disloyal. And those are some of his better points. Do I hate him? No. But I hate his type.
