on Term Limits

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 1/9/2025 4:17:53 AM

Republicans in Congress are already getting to work on trying to implement Donald Trump’s agenda. Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) this week put forward a joint resolution seeking to limit the number of terms members of Congress can serve. Under the terms of the amendment, U.S. senators would be restricted to two six-year terms and representatives in the U.S. House to three two-year terms. According to the resolution, the amendment would take effect within seven years of being approved by Congress and ratified by the states.

It's about time, but do you think we will ever see this added to the Constitution?

Twelve years sounds like a good stint in the Senate to me. Six years in the House doesn't sound like enough time to make a mark. Ideally, we would never wind up losing half of Congress in the same year. A good compromise would be to just let the opposition party pick a few reps or senators to throw out. I'm thinking Hirono, Whitehouse, Rankin, and Schiff.

Why aren't they getting to work right now on confirming Trump's appointees? They have know about it for over a month. Where is the border bill, the tax bill? Why haven't things been done since Nov 8?

Term limits could have the effect of further empowering lobbyists and staff (who would know how the place really functions and where the bodies are buried.) Who would they answer to?

We have term limits here locally and the political class just rotates from office to office. We're still never rid of them.

I might go three terms for Senators and six terms for the House, but that's a good idea. Of course, the current Congresscritters will be grandfathered, but we can live with that. The grim reaper always bats 1.000.

Outrage is boiling over after revelations that the Santa Ynez Reservoir, a critical water source in Pacific Palisades, was empty and offline when a devastating wildfire ripped through the area. The Los Angeles Times reported that despite the reservoir’s critical role in the city’s water infrastructure, it had been offline for nearly a year. The Santa Ynez Reservoir, with a capacity of 117 million gallons, could have played a critical role in providing water pressure to firefighters battling the devastating fire that destroyed thousands of homes and buildings in Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Malibu.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who will now be forever known as the weirdo who ran with Kamala Harris in 2024 and failed, is now endorsing gun control activist David Hogg in his bid to be vice chair of the Democratic National Committee. The 2024 election showed that Democrats have a serious problem with men, who are fleeing their party in droves. It’s not clear how having David Hogg in a leadership position would do anything to help fix this problem for them. None of that seems to matter to Walz, who believes Hogg will provide the ‘courageous leadership our party needs right now.’

Jennifer Garner has lost a friend to the LA fires. The actress, 52, revealed the devastating news Friday during an interview on MSNBC. Appearing alongside World Central Kitchen Chef José Andrés, Garner told anchor Katy Tur about the death of her friend who she knew through church. “I did lose a friend, and for our church, it’s really tender so I don’t feel like we should talk about it yet,” the star told Tur, choking up. “I did lose a friend. She didn’t get out in time.” The official death toll from the Eaton and Palisades fires that tore through Los Angeles over the past few days rose to 11 on Friday.

Since Donald Trump officially became the president-elect in November, the lame-duck commander-in-chief has been waxing poetic about a smooth transition, but almost every official act he takes is designed to kneecap Trump’s stated agenda—you know, the one the American people overwhelming chose over the Biden-Harris failed vision.His latest move: extending temporary humanitarian protections for about 230,000 Salvadorans and 600,000 Venezuelans living in this country.

As Jeff wrote earlier today, President-elect Donald J. Trump got sentenced in the Manhattan hush money witch hunt led by District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan. It provided the closing chapter to this circus of a case and the Left’s overall failed lawfare crusade to stop Mr. Trump. It was a wanton attempt to jail a political opponent of the Democratic Party. In the end, liberals might have won this little battle, but Trump won the war. He will become the 47th president of the United States on January 20, and all the Left can do is scream into the void:

CBS cameras caught the actor walking through his charred house for the first time, standing in what was once his kitchen and looking at a neighborhood in ruin. “Your heart just breaks.” He and his pregnant wife, Jarah Mariano, evacuated Tuesday with their dog and they watched on security cameras as the flames ripped through the house, destroying everything, including a new crib. “There’s a kind of shock moment where you’re going, ‘Oh, this is real.

President Joe Biden ruled out the idea of pardoning himself, explaining he had not thought of pardoning himself because he “didn’t do anything wrong.” During a press conference at the White House, Biden was asked if he had “ruled out” issuing a pardon for himself or “any other additional members” of his family. In December, Biden issued a “full and unconditional pardon” of his son, Hunter Biden, regarding “offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.” “Have you ruled out a pardon for yourself or any other additional members of the family?”

New York Judge Juan Merchan ruled Friday that President-elect Donald Trump will not face any punishment after being convicted of 34 felonies related to a hush-money payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels. Merchan gave Trump an unconditional discharge, meaning he declined to sentence Trump to jail time or probation in light of the president-elect’s imminent return to the White House. The sentencing puts an end to an unprecedented case that Trump and his allies have cast as political persecution.

Gavin Newsom is coming under fire for slashing California's funding for wildfire and forest resilience by $101 million less than a year before devastating fires tore through Los Angeles. The Democrat California Governor signed the budget cuts into law in June 2024, severing funding from seven programs focused on preventing and battling potential wildfires in the state, reports Newsweek. Cuts included a $5 million decrease to the CAL FIRE fuel reduction teams, which included funding to pay for vegetation management work by the California National Guard, an analysis by the outlet found.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass demanded her Fire Department make an extra $49million of budget cuts last week, a leaked memo revealed. This cut is already on top of $17.6million of cuts in her latest budget. The extra cuts, requested just days before fires broke out and devastated swathes of Los Angeles, would have shut down 16 fire stations and crippled the department's ability to respond to emergencies, sources said. [SNIP] The memo is dated January 6, only a day before the devastating Palisades Fire started.

In the letter, Newsom invites Trump to come see the damage, meet with first responders and displaced victims and thank firefighters and emergency personnel for their work. "In the spirit of this great country, we must not politicize human tragedy or spread disinformation from the sidelines," Newsom wrote. "Hundreds of thousands of Americans — displaced from their homes and fearful for the future — deserve to see all of us working in their best interests to ensure a fast recovery and rebuild."
