Hey, GOP: Senate Parliamentarian Isn’t Binding
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 6/26/2025 5:13:16 PM
Important newsflash for the Senate GOP: the recommendations of the woke Senate parliamentarian, who is trying to ensure that absolutely no financial reform is enacted, are not binding. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has said he’s not going to challenge the outrageous decisions of the Senate Parliamentarian, and no doubt he’d like you to believe there’s no option otherwise. That is simply untrue. There are multiple ways of overruling the unelected Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough’s decisions. As voters, it’s very important we understand the legal realities of our system and not give our elected representatives a pass just because they claimed helplessness.

Dear New Yorkers: Texas Will Break You
16 replies
Hey New Yorkers. I heard you're probably going to get an outright communist as your mayor. Zohran Mamdani sounds like a real peach, and the fact that he won the Democrat Primary and is well on his way to the mayor's office has made many of you fire up your Zillow account and start looking for homes out of state.
I don't blame you, but let me offer you some advice. You're probably going to be tempted to come to Texas because so many companies have moved here, and you feel like you could easily land a job. I could see why you'd think that,
Americans woke up this morning to a reminder that our military isn’t merely watching the world’s villains – it is methodically, relentlessly preparing to annihilate them when the moment of decision comes. From the Pentagon podium, Brigadier General Raisin Caine laid out the story of two quietly legendary Defense Threat Reduction Agency officers who, the very day Iran began carving the Fordow enrichment plant into a mountainside, accepted a life‑long mission: figure out how to bury it for good. They “dreamt about it at night as they slept,” Caine said, “they thought about it driving back and forth to work”. For fifteen years they kept the faith, speaking of it to no one,
Zohran Mamdani, who won the Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday, will not be able to keep Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) away from the city if he wins the general election, according to border czar Tom Homan.
Mamdani has promised to “stop ICE agents from deporting our neighbors.”
“Well, good luck with that,” Homan said.
“I mean, matter of fact, the president made it clear we're going to double down and triple down [on] sanctuary cities. And why is that? It isn't to attack blue cities. It's because they're [a] sanctuary city. We know for a fact they're releasing public safety threats and national security threats back to the streets every day.

It was never a question of if Karmelo Anthony was responsible for the stabbing death of fellow teen Austin Metcalf at a Frisco, Texas, high school track meet back in April. Anthony himself admitted to carrying out the deadly act at Kuykendall Stadium, apparently telling police, "I'm not alleged, I did it!"
You have to love how passionate President Trump is about pursuing peace and building a better world—no equivocation, no double-talk. Friend and foe alike, he calls balls and strikes. And in this latest Israel–Iran crisis, he’s put his signature, clear-cut leadership on full display.
Over the past 12 days, a dramatic escalation erupted between Israel and Iran. Israel struck Iranian nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan—using U.S. B‑2 bombers and Tomahawks, claiming the sites were “completely and totally obliterated.” Iran retaliated with missile attacks, including a controversial strike on a U.S. base in Qatar and rockets that reportedly killed 28 civilians in Beersheba. Casualties across both nations reached grim totals—
Florida is about to make a bold statement in the ongoing national debate over illegal immigration, and it’s not just talk — it’s action.
The Sunshine State is rolling out a new approach that’s as tough as it is practical: setting up a string of detention centers specifically for illegal immigrants with criminal records. The centerpiece of this initiative is a facility tucked deep in the Everglades, built on the bones of an abandoned airfield, and already earning an unforgettable nickname from state officials: “Alligator Alcatraz.”
The name isn’t just for show.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier made it clear that this is no ordinary detention center.
Orlando Diaz Cebada is not a good guy.
Known in Mexico as "El Leches," he's a member of the Los Pochos gang, which traffics drugs for the infamous Sinaloa Cartel. He's also an alleged murderer.
On April 23, 2024, Mexican authorities issued an arrest warrant for Diaz Cebada for aggravated homicide. According to the warrant, he beat a Mexican law enforcement official to death. Given his alleged gang ties, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that probably wasn't a first.
He fled to the United States, entered illegally, and was deported on May 22, 2024.
Need a little afternoon pick-me-up? Look no further than this clip of United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins absolutely destroying Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) at a Senate hearing this morning, and for good reason.
Collins testified before the Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday, and when it was Murray's turn to talk, she tried to play a game of "gotcha" on the topic of the VA discriminating against certain people. Her source? The Guardian, a liberal rag published in the United Kingdom that has one of the worst cases of TDS you'll ever witness.
Here's some quick background: The Guardian posted this article last week,
Rosie O’Donnell took to social media on Monday to promote a “recount” of President Donald Trump’s landslide victory over former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
The comedian shared a post to her Instagram Story from social media influencer Joe Braxton, who claimed that Tesla CEO Elon Musk “hacked and stole” the 2024 presidential election in his demand for a “recount.”
“We Demand A Recount!” the online influencer exclaimed in the caption of his Instagram post, which was shared by O’Donnell.
Braxton went on to bizarrely alleged that “Elon hacked and stole the election, then created a department
President Trump on Monday evening announced that Israel and Iran have agreed to a total ceasefire in 6 hours.
“CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED! Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World.

Just hours after Iran sent ballistic missiles targeting U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar and two days after the U.S. destroyed the regime's nuclear infrastructure, President Donald Trump has announced a ceasefire.

Zohran Mamdani, winner of the Democratic Party’s New York City mayoral primary, is overflowing with Marxist ideas of how to govern that are so lousy that it’s hard to believe he got more than his own vote in Tuesday’s election. Each of them is horrendous, from free bus services to rent control to punitive taxes on those who create prosperity, but none are quite so laughable as his proposal to establish a chain of city-run grocery stores.
Mamdani’s campaign literature – overflowing with empty leftist jargon – says if elected he “will create a network of city-owned grocery stores focused on keeping prices low, not making a profit.”

Israel-Iran war 23 replies
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei claimed victory over Israel and said his country had “delivered a hand slap to America’s face” on Thursday, in his first public comments since a ceasefire was declared in the war between the two countries.
Khamenei spoke in a video broadcast on Iranian state television, his first appearance since June 19.
He told viewers that the U.S. had only intervened in the war because “it felt that if it did not intervene, the Zionist regime would be utterly destroyed.”
But he said, however, that the U.S. “achieved no gains from this war.
CNN last week got their hands on a classified document stolen from the National Security Agency. That’s a felony punishable by ten years in prison, by the way.
The stolen document guessed that the efforts by Israel and America to neutralize Iran’s nuclear weapon program had set back the program by only “a few months.”
CNN and the rest of the media cabal could hardly contain their glee. They celebrated the failure of America and Israel.
Hardly mentioned in CNN’s report was that the document itself noted that its conclusions were merely “preliminary” and were expressed with only “low confidence.”

Bill Moyers, the onetime White House Press Secretary and newspaper publisher who spent four decades as a respected broadcast journalist and documentarian for PBS and CBS, died Thursday. He was 91.
Moyers died at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York after a long illness, his son William told the Associated Press.
Moyers hosted, wrote for and/or produced PBS programs like Bill Moyers’ Journal, Moyers & Company, A World of Ideas, Frontline, Now With Bill Moyers, Creativity With Bill Moyers and A Walk Through the 20th Century in stretches from 1971 through 2010
distanced herself from apparent New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani on Wednesday, calling him “the wrong choice for New York.”
“Socialist Zohran Mamdani is too extreme to lead New York City,” Gillen said in a statement. “His entire campaign has been built on unachievable promises and higher taxes, which is the last thing New York needsBeyond that, Mr. Mamdani has called to defund the police and has demonstrated a deeply disturbing pattern of unacceptable antisemitic comments which stoke hate at a time when antisemitism is skyrocketing. He is the absolute wrong choice for New York,” she
On his first day in office — of his second term, not his wasted first term — President Trump signed an executive order ending anchor babies, the practice of treating kids born to illegals on U.S. soil as full-fledged citizens. (Apparently, our Founding Fathers wanted to ensure that poverty-stricken third-worlders who force their way into our country would never have to leave.) Three federal district court judges promptly issued (you’ll never guess) nationwide injunctions blocking Trump’s order. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on those injunctions any day now. It may be that the anchor baby lunacy is . . .
The Supreme Court is allowing South Carolina to cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood, a win for pro-lifers that will clear the way for red states across the country to stop taxpayer dollars from funding abortion.
The justices ruled 6-3 along ideological lines Thursday to permit South Carolina to cut off Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion for the Court, siding with the state against a private challenge brought by the abortion provider and a patient.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is taking action to compel a top aide to former first lady Jill Biden to testify about the lengths Biden administration officials went to cover up former President Joe Biden’s mental decline.
Comer subpoenaed Jill Biden’s “work husband” Anthony Bernal Thursday after he abruptly refused to testify voluntarily despite agreeing to do so. Bernal was scheduled to appear for a closed-door interview Thursday until he reversed course once the Trump administration decided to waive executive privilege for Comer’s investigation.
Bye, Bye, Kilmar Abrego-Garcia

We don't yet know the timeline, but the Trump administration appears to be planning to use the power the Supreme Court just acknowledged to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a third-party country. As you may recall, two major legal issues were being argued about Abrego Garcia's deportation to El Salvador; the one, of course, was the "due process" argument, and the other was the fact that while he had been ordered deported, he was not to be deported to El Salvador due to his claimed fear for his life.
Help New York City Kill Itself

If you haven’t been to New York City before, you missed it. It’s not destroyed, it’s just a mess and not worth visiting. You still could – it’s great place to take the family if you love the smell of fresh urine on hot concrete coupled with potent marijuana, because you smell that combination pretty much everywhere.
The city is dying, and we should let it. Progressives are all in favor of assisted suicide, we should join them in the case of New York and help the city kill itself. Only a complete embrace of socialist/fascist/communist policies (and there isn’t a dime’s worth of difference between the three)
I’m frustrated when colleagues treat evening news as gospel, eagerly discussing 60 Minutes or Rachel Maddow’s take on events. After revelations like CBS’s edited Kamala Harris interview and plummeting cable news viewership, I’m stunned that anyone still trusts legacy media, especially people who otherwise seem rational.
A February Gallup poll reveals that 31% of Americans trust media outlets, with 33% expressing “not much” trust and 36% none at all. This is a sharp decline from the 1970s, when 72% trusted mass media. The poll highlights a partisan divide: 54% of Democrats, 27% of independents, and 12% of Republicans trust mainstream media. This gap reflects confirmation bias,

And JD Vance, as President of the Senate, can overrule both the parliamentarian and Thune!! Sounds like this step will be needed.
