Mr. Schumer — You Make No Sense!

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 4/5/2025 3:21:55 PM

Commenting on President Trump’s efforts to pull our country out of a serious national debt crisis through the use of tariffs, Senator Chuck Schumer stated, “It is a crazy idea in his head that hurts American families and does very little benefit and in an untargeted way that makes no sense.” Unfortunately, I had to hear Schumer’s statement on my drive to work at 5:30 AM, which charged me to write this article. Mr. Schumer, let’s talk about things that make no sense. You became a senator, supposedly representing New York beginning in 1999, led the Democrat caucus since 2017, and served as Senate majority leader from 2021 to 2025.

While I agree with the basic premise of the article, the author conflates a budget surplus (which was actually illusory since it failed to account for off-budget expenditures such as Social Security) and the national debt. Although we had a surplus in 1999, that did not mean we did not have a national debt at that time. A more accurate portrayal would have been to compare the budget surplus in 1999 to the budget deficit in 2024 and the national debt in that year to the national debt today. Do not use misleading statistics to rile the public. That's leftist tactics.

Recently, James Carville said the purpose of the Democratic Party is to win elections. That is a stunning statement. Governing competently? Steering the ship of state safely? Providing peace and prosperity to citizens? Not so much.

Washington, DC — Dr. Sebastian Gorka, the Senior Director of Counterterrorism for the National Security Council (NSC) and a Deputy Assistant to President Donald Trump, told Breitbart News in a lengthy exclusive interview at the White House that Trump has totally reframed how the United States approaches elimination of jihadist terrorists. “Let’s be clear—President Trump through his National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, and it’s not an accident for the first time in history a former Green Beret is the National Security Adviser, has done a 180 on our counterterrorism policy,” Gorka told Breitbart News. “Let me illustrate this by an incredible story that’s now declassified from the second week

The artist behind a portrait of Donald Trump in the Colorado State Capitol says her career could be in tatters now that the president has besmirched it on social media. Sarah Boardman’s painting of the president had hung in the Denver building for six years before Trump called it “purposefully distorted” and “truly the worst” on his Truth Social platform in January, prompting state lawmakers to yank it off the wall. Now the artist’s 41-year career “is in danger of not recovering” from the backlash, Boardman said in a statement on her website on Saturday.

As predictable as the sun rising in the East: the media’s silence in the face of President Joe Biden’s evident cognitive decline is met with a deluge of books, by some of those same media types, chronicling that decline in detail. This helps explain the rationale behind this weird exchange between CNN’s Jake Tapper (co-author with Axios’ Alex Thompson of “Original Sin”, to be released next month) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, wherein he presses Walz on whether Biden running for re-election was a mistake: (X) Jake Tapper was one of the chief pushers of “Biden has a stutter” as cover for the decline that was obvious to the rest

Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that President Donald Trump was “wrecking our economy” by imposing tariffs, freezing federal funds and laying off government workers. Host Kristen Welker said, “Let’s start out by talking about President Trump’s tariffs. He calls this an economic revolution. He says these tariffs are necessary to reset the global economic order and so that the United States is treated fairly on the world stage. How do you respond to that? Do you agree with any part of that?” Schiff said, “I don’t agree with any part of that, and unfortunately, he’s wrecking our economy.

Ever wonder about the layout of the White House?

CNN has produced a map of the offices in the West Wing, and it's interesting to see just who sits where: (X ). However, I question the angle they take in sussing out why people sit where they do.

The delegation from Kyiv will include representatives from the Ministries of Economy, Foreign Affairs, Justice and Finance.

Elie Mystal, a far-left columnist for The Nation, is so petrified of the Trump administration snatching him off the street because of his articles that he has allegedly hired security to keep him safe. This, according to Mystal himself. The author of the new book "Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That Are Ruining America" appeared with Charlamagne the God on "The Breakfast Club" late last week and promptly demonstrated little to no grasp of current law. Mystal is not an illegal immigrant (he was born in Queens, and his father was a prominent political figure in Suffolk County, New York—a legal Haitian migrant), nor does he have a student visa.

In a stunning revelation, a new poll shows Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) leading Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) by double digits in a hypothetical head-to-head New York primary matchup. This surprising shift in the political landscape highlights the growing power of the far-left faction within the Democratic Party as Ocasio-Cortez continues to build her base among younger, more progressive voters. Schumer, long seen as the establishment figure in New York and national politics, now faces a growing challenge from within his own party, signaling that even the most entrenched political figures could be vulnerable.

She described the ammunition control as one that “[refines] how credit card companies track purchases at gun dealerships.” Hochul noted, “This gives law enforcement the opportunity to find out exactly who may be stockpiling ammunition. And this is an indicator that something untoward could be happening, so it’s an important data point for us to have.” North Country Now pointed out the credit card tracking will occur via the use of a new merchant code,
