@ClayTravis Note the stupidity lives to approving nods on CNN. No chance of challenge from fellow travelers and haters. Not aware enough to even think this might be blatant lies.

Frankly, my dear... you know the rest. Fairly cynical, serious about important things,with no patience for BS. Wife says I'm just like Rhett F***ing Butler!

Democrat congressman Seth Moulton compares Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to a Nazi submarine captain, says Hegseth like the Nazis, should face execution for war crimes. Insanity.

"There's one way of life for the liberal justices and another for the conservatives," Mollie Hemingway noted.
While the liberals could "appear on a Broadway play" or "travel all over the world," the conservatives can't go to dinner with their families "because they might get killed."

@SenSanders Bernie's only expertise is class demagoguery. That is literally all he has ever done. Oh, and making himself wealthy. Pretty useless, really.

And you expertise comes from where, Mr. Carbajal? Big talk from someone of such thin experience at anything but running for office. So many pols that think because they hold an office they must be qualified to judge everything. Bet he would have trouble driving a truck.

Secretary Hegseth drops a savage one-liner after Democrat Rep. Salud Carbajal unleashes a vicious personal attack on him. CARBAJAL: “Mr. Hegseth, I stand by what I said last time you were here.” “You were incompetent then, you’re incompetent now.” “And you’re the gift that keeps on giving and you’re the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to incompetence.” “With that Mr. chairman, I yield back.” HEGSETH: “Other than that, I’m doing great!” “Thank you!” Hegseth turned a nasty attack into the ultimate mic drop.

Sen. Scott on the Save America Act and Growing Calls to Replace Senate Leader Thune
Our reporter asked @SenRickScott about claims from @RepLuna that @LeaderJohnThune may not move forward with the SAVE America Act - despite its strong public support.
Scott’s response:
“My expectation is we’re going to continue to work on the Save America Act… it’s over 80% approval, and I’m going to do everything I can to make sure we keep on it.”
He pointed to other priorities like the budget and nominations slowing things down - but did not confirm the bill is dead.
When asked about growing calls to replace Thune as Senate leader:
“You’d have to talk to a lot of the senators…”
The SAVE America Act fight isn’t fully over but major leadership questions are surfacing...
English
@RealLindellTV @SenRickScott @RepLuna @LeaderJohnThune How many times does the republican senate have to show us they are unwilling to fight for anything but their own interest. Thune should be run out of town on a mule, but do you see any attempt to replace him? My wallet is closed to them.

In a sane world, this person would be fired on the spot for doing the exact opposite of what the journalistic profession is supposed to do. She cites an anonymous source, who could be anyone from a janitor to a partisan activist with an axe to grind, not to offer anything insightful, but to deliver a completely platitudinous line. There is not an atom of difference between that and me saying the homeless guy at the bus stop told me it will rain tomorrow, except that he might actually be right.

Chuck: It’s Trump’s fault his opponents call him a fascist racist pedophile out to destroy the country…
Western Lensman@WesternLensman
Chuck Todd slams Trump as the only one who can turn down the temperature on incendiary rhetoric in the country — says he refuses to do it: "Presidents are in charge of the thermostat of the political temperature of the country. Period." “We haven't had the moment where this president has said, this isn't who we are. This is not acceptable. Maybe it's time to take a breath here. I know we've all allowed political rhetoric to get out of hand. Right. And yet, that's not the instinct right now, is it? And that's the problem." So. Trump’s response is the real problem here in all of this, according to Chuck. Of course it is.

@butler_rf to me, it is easy to tell others what to do without having to walk in their shoes, and i would hope every person who does the telling would thrmselvrs themselves offer to care for the child, many of whom end up in foster care.

2. Bot

It is unusual for soon-to-be-former Fed Chair Jay Powell to stay on at the @federalreserve. For someone who speaks so often of norms, his unilateral decision to stay flies in the face of tradition.
Kevin Warsh will bring about a new day at the Fed, with accountability, management, and sound policymaking in the lead.

@WesternLensman Sadly, Chuck probably believes what he is saying. Thousands of vids of Dems, politicians, corporate, educators and liberal influencers encouraging and excusing violence, and he can't see it. Sad he has any stage at all. He has earned zero credibility.

Birth control has been available and wide spread for decades. So many millions of women use it it shows up in our water supply. The lack of responsibility toward using it drives the decision to abort. For too many, abortion IS the birth control method. I would guess the percentage of women who have had multiple abortions would show that.
English
@butler_rf i’m not justifying myself. and would have thousands, perhaps millions, of the abortions you’re talking about been prevented by easily accessible birth control? A sincere question.

@AbbyJohnson I wonder, does Ms Waters have any children? If yes, has she ever looked at them and said "lucky you, I could have crushed your skull, injected you with saline or tore you apart if I wanted to. Aren't I wonderful!"

I can tell you their favorite type of abortion. It’s chemical abortion. Chemical abortion, all done by pills, is done without a doctor. It is done online. It can be distributed without any human involvement. All communication with your “provider” is done through autoresponder. It has the highest ROI for the abortion industry because you don’t have to pay doctors and nurses. And mostly, the industry doesn’t have to deal with the bodies of the babies after the abortion is complete. You don’t need a biohazard medical waste contract. No industrial strength garbage disposals. In chemical abortion, the babies go down the toilet, never to be seen again. Cheap, fast, and dangerous, with lifelong consequences.

@tlvl60 @butler_rf @eileen_hoy69517 @RogerSeverino_ “The child may die of natural causes shortly after birth, so it’s better to inject them with saline and let their skin disintegrate and chemically burn them to death early. Or maybe rip off their arms and legs and crush their skull first instead, that’s more humane”
English
@tlvl60 @eileen_hoy69517 @RogerSeverino_ There may be sad and real stories, but they are a tiny fraction of the convenience based abortions or those done because negligence. People like you have been responsible for MILLIONS of abortions and very few were real hardship cases. Go justify yourself some other way.
English
@butler_rf @eileen_hoy69517 @RogerSeverino_ maybe provide birth control so an abortion isn’t necessary?? maybe care about the situation of the mother, her family, the suffering of a child whose illness means they’ll die possibly in pain soon after birth?? for many of us, it’s not the black and white issue it is for you.

You’re right that it’s not a “both sides” problem. Leftists are bloodthirsty lunatics who want to kill their enemies because they’ve long since run out of arguments.

Political violence is not a “both-sides” problem. It’s also not a fringe problem. It comes from the mainstream Right.

@ArthurMacwaters But what was the source of income to pay for the country if only 1% paid income tax?
English
In 1913, only 1% of households filed income tax
Now, 100% do.
Every time a tax scheme is created, it starts with "just the rich" and quickly applies to everyone.
Every time.
California will seize assets of every citizen if this passes.
Not income, assets. Your house. Your furniture.
This would end the Golden State.

As you go to work today and settle into the week, please study the form below. You will soon need to fill this out EVERY year and tell the government what you own and then allow them to tell you how much its worth. That is the framework that is enabled by the Trojan Horse "Billionaire Tax" that is trying to get passed. Give them credit: they cleverly use Billionaires as the hook, but build in the language and the framework that will allow the Legislature to simply extend the tax to everyone and make it yearly. And this is where the form below comes in... In this case, ask yourself, will it be you or the Billionaires that will be able to fill this out properly and avoid penalties. As much as Billionaires can be pushed to do more for society, we all know that they have the infrastructure to manage these kinds of disclosures...middle class Californians do not and they will be the ones that get penalized in the end.
