Forty Days Wasted

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 11/11/2025 12:00:49 AM

Forty days and nights. That’s how long the Democrats wasted your time. Forty days of grandstanding, finger-pointing, and “we care more than you” speeches. And for what? Nothing. After shutting down the government, threatening paychecks, and holding the country hostage over Obamacare subsidies, eight Senate Democrats finally blinked. They crossed the aisle and voted to reopen the government—with none of their big demands met. That’s not leadership. That’s surrender. They spent six weeks making America miserable just to end up right where they started. Except now, everyone knows they flinched.

And now EVERYONE, crazy far leftists and MAGA right are mad at the Senate left!! Well done, Senate leftists, well done, indeed!!

I flagged down the trash truck this afternoon and I told the man driving it: "Your job is not glamorous, but it's damned important. Those big-shot politicians in Washington can take a MONTH off and nobody notices, but you take a DAY off and people notice!" He smiled, shook my hand and said "Thank You!"

There is a silver lining. Schumer is toast and the AOC crowd is barking at the moon.

It wasn't wasted in the eyes of Democrats, who achieved 40 days in which the Congress could not pass anything in Trump's agenda. And they re-opened to preserve the filibuster, which Democrats intend to use after 1/30/26 to block the Trump agenda again. Democrats will also agree to negotiate, perpetually, until Trump is out of office. Republicans are weak and will never figure it out.

Trump Asks Supreme Court to Throw Out
the Worst Biden-Era Miscarriage of Justice

To its everlasting shame and (one hopes) the abiding disapproval of historians for generations to come, the Biden regime weaponized the justice system against President Donald Trump, and much of the damage has yet to be undone. On Monday, Trump asked the Supreme Court to undo one of the most egregious miscarriages of justice he suffered for the crime of being the leader of the opposition against Old Joe Biden and his leftist henchmen: the civil judgment that he sexually abused the partisan fantasist E. Jean Carroll in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room sometime in the 1990s, and subsequently defamed her in speaking about the case.
House Votes on Continuing Resolution 1 reply

On Wednesday night, the House voted on the continuing resolution that would reopen the federal government after 43 days. The vote passed/failed by a margin of 222-209. Six Democrats voted in favor of the continuing resolutions, and two Republicans voted no. [Tweet] This vote came after the Senate voted to end the shutdown on Monday. Before the continuing resolution vote, the House swore in Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.), who won a special election in September. It was the first House vote since September 19. Democratic senators dug their heels in over healthcare for illegals and Obamacare subsidies. It led to furloughs, military members serving without pay,

Last month, I reported that, despite what politicians said, Memphis residents were excited for Donald Trump to send the National Guard in to clean up their crime-ridden city. The president created a Memphis Safe Task Force, whose job was to "end street and violent crime in Memphis to the greatest possible extent." It sounds like the task force, which is comprised of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies and authorities, has been quite successful, especially for families with young children. The United States Marshals Service announced on Saturday that since the task force began, 101 missing children in the Memphis area have been found and returned to their homes.

An illegal immigrant has been arrested after allegedly opening fire on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Chicago over the weekend. The suspect reportedly drove by the agents in a Jeep on Saturday in the city’s Little Village neighborhood, firing several shots before speeding away during an ongoing immigration enforcement operation. The suspect has not been identified, but is known to be a Mexican citizen and was in possession of a firearm at the time of his arrest. The suspect has a lengthy criminal record, including charges of illegal entry, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon/vehicle, and felony possession of a weapon.

In another highway operation targeting dangerous drivers, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Oklahoma Department of Public Safety arrested 70 foreign nationals driving on interstate highways in Oklahoma. In two days, they arrested drivers from 15 countries – all in the U.S. illegally. The majority had driver’s licenses in violation of federal law and Oklahoma state law. During “Operation Guardian,” ICE and DPS Highway Patrol troopers working through ICE’s 287(g) program arrested illegal foreign nationals driving semi-trucks in violation of state commercial driver’s license laws and federal immigration law. “Operation Guardian continues to successfully keep Oklahomans safe,” Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt said.

After the initial shock wore off, it became quite clear to many of us that something nefarious was behind the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the Capitol Complex. Things were too pat. Narratives were set and eagerly parroted by the media within hours. Buses filled with non-MAGA people were reported and verified by congressional reps. And there were "bombs" found at the Democratic National Committee and later at a club near the RNC. Impeachment talk was openly discussed. Suddenly, questioning the obviously hinky 2020 election was a criminal act against democracy. Trump must go to jail, the left said. And then they went about trying to make that happen.

Democratic officials are reportedly hampering a Justice Department investigation into an individual believed to have doxxed and stalked White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. The case centers on 66-year-old Barbara Wien, a retired professor and activist. She is accused of posting flyers in Miller’s Virginia neighborhood that listed his home address and referred to him as a “Nazi.” The flyers claimed Miller is “wanted for crimes against humanity” and displayed a QR code linking to an activist Instagram account.

In more innocent times, teenagers became notorious at various times for swallowing goldfish, seeing how many people they could stuff into a phone booth (look it up, kids), and smoking lots of hash. Now, the latest teen craze has a decidedly more sinister edge: over the last few days, Muslims in their late teens and early twenties have been arrested in Michigan, New Jersey, and Washington state. All of them were at various stages of the planning of jihad mass murder plots. The plots largely revolved around rich kids with plenty of time on their hands and a newfound, brightly burning hatred.

Until the time that Barack Obama took office, I had a reasonable amount of faith in the U.S. federal government. I knew that those on the Left in positions of leadership, as well as some on the Right, often concocted narratives for their own ends. The mainstream media decidedly leaned Left, and shaded every story, feature, event, and happening in the U.S. and around the world to their own point of view. Still, it was easy enough to get past what they were claiming. Maybe Some Good Could Result With the ascension of Barack Obama and his subsequent election as POTUS, I thought, okay, I’d never vote for him,

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has elected Archbishop Paul S. Coakley of Oklahoma City as its new president, signaling conservative continuity with a pastoral approach. However, Coakley criticizes Trump-era mass deportations, urging humane immigration policies and pathways to citizenship. With millions of Catholic immigrants potentially in the crosshairs and the Church’s teachings on human dignity clashing with hardline policies, Coakley’s past statements are already drawing scrutiny – and offering clues about what’s ahead.

A key Atlantic current could be pushed to the brink of collapse within decades, supposedly ushering in a new ice age and dramatically raising sea levels, climate scientists have claimed in a controversial new study published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment. The apocalyptic predictions came as a result of a collaboration between researchers at the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS) and the University of California, San Diego — weeks after one-time climate alarmist Bill Gates publicly downplayed the impact of temperature fluctuations on the planet.

What kind of US president demolishes a cherished piece of American history in order to build a shrine to himself? That’s what many Chicagoans are asking — and they aren’t talking about President Trump’s East Wing demolition to make way for a White House ballroom. Locals are still trying to make sense of the $850 million Obama Presidential Center, dubbed “The Obamalisk,” which broke ground in Chicago’s historic Jackson Park in 2021 and will be finished next Spring. “Obama, of all people, should not be building a palace for himself, a fortress in the middle of a public park. It’s just contrary to what I thought he believed in,”

Kamala Harris is back once again with an extremely interesting new angle on her 2024 election failure. Her memoir "107 Days" was released a couple of months ago, and she is about to wrap up her book tour (one that Democrats aren't too wild about, by the way) with a final stop on November 20. Not too terribly long ago, Harris told Stephen Colbert she was stepping away from politics because the "system is broken" — only to tease a 2028 run at the end of October.

California Representative Eric Swalwell has faced a barrage of controversy in recent years, from his alleged ties to the Chinese spy “Fang Fang,” to his removal from the House Intelligence Committee over national security concerns, to his infamous on-air mishap during a 2019 interview on Hardball with Chris Matthews. Now, a new revelation raises even more serious questions about Swalwell’s integrity and eligibility to serve in Congress. Despite serving as a Congressman from California’s 15th District and claiming Hometown: Livermore on his official House profile, Swalwell has declared his Washington, DC property as his “principal residence.”
How Climate Change Can Lead to Earthquakes 20 replies

Climate change does its damage in a lot of ways—birthing hurricanes, heat waves, floods, droughts, and wildfires. Now add to that list earthquakes, continental rifting—or breakup—and magma production. That’s the conclusion of a new paper in Scientific Reports, which adds to a growing agreement among scientists that the Earth’s atmospheric processes can affect its geological processes in surprising ways. “Ultimately, plate tectonic forces play the dominant role in driving continental rifting,” says geologist James Muirhead, senior lecturer at the University of Auckland in New Zealand and lead author of the paper. “However, our study shows that climate plays a key role in modulating the rate

Federal agents in Chicago are facing a nightmare most of us can’t imagine: a violent street gang has literally issued a “shoot-on-sight” order against them. According to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Latin Kings have targeted immigration enforcement officers working in the city, leading the agency to warn its teams to use “extreme caution.” Shots were fired. Agents’ vehicles were rammed. Bricks and paint cans were thrown at Border Patrol trucks in the Little Village neighborhood during ongoing immigration operations. This isn’t happening in some failed foreign state. It’s happening on American streets.

This is a topic that keeps being brought up by various members of the Trump administration: The notion that tariff income from President Trump's tariffs has been robust enough to support a $2,000 rebate check for all Americans under a certain, unnamed income level. (I've seen a household income of under $100k kicked around as the top end.) Most recently, on Wednesday, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, in a reply to a question from a reporter, assured the White House Press Corps that something like this was in the works. Watch: Here's the exchange: Question: (President) Trump has talked about sending a $2,000 check to U.S. citizens. Earlier

Democrats thought they had a winning hand when they released three carefully selected Jeffrey Epstein emails on Wednesday morning. The timing was no accident. With their caucus still reeling from their base turning on them for caving on the government shutdown, they needed a distraction, and they believed these emails would deliver one. They were wrong.The so-called bombshell consisted of three email exchanges. The crown jewel of their selective leak was a 2011 email between Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in which Epstein described Trump as "the dog that hasn't barked." He noted that a victim had spent hours with Trump at Epstein’s house.

A British businessman who threatened to “gang-rape” and set fire to a flight attendant has had his jail sentence tripled after an appeals court ruled it was far too lenient. Salman Iftikhar, 37, was traveling first class from London Heathrow to Lahore with his three children and one of his wives in February 2023 when he turned violent midair. After downing champagne and helping himself to ice from the on-board bar, crew members told him to return to his seat. When told to stop, the defendant became irate, and started to film cabin crew with his phone, telling them, ‘Do not tell me what to do, you b—h,’” a court heard.

A woman who was once one of California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s most trusted lieutenants has found herself in the crosshairs of the FBI. And it’s not looking great for her. On Wednesday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of California dropped a bombshell news release stating that Dana Williamson, Newsom’s chief of staff from 2022 to 2024, had been indicted on a litany of charges. The 53-year-old Williamson has been charged by a federal grand jury with “conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruct justice, subscribing to false tax returns, and making false statements,”
