"...the fiscal security of the United States and the basic functions of governing."

$1.7T spending bills are what really threaten the Fiscal Security of the US.

"When Biden goes to the border tomorrow, the mess he'll see is the one he created."

Actually... he will not. Because, being enthusiastic supporters of all immigrants, they arrested 100+ of them who were sleeping on sidewalks.

I mean, all those icky foreigners would ruin the Photo Op.

"The anti-Blackness of the system is inescapable."

SCIENCE!

"Flip a coin and say, “Heads, you’re a racist; tails, you’re not not a racist.”

No, Jim. You're an Old White Guy, ergo, Racist.

Living in Texas, where the state legislature has moderate GOP members make deals with the Dem caucus for leadership votes and agenda setting, I was very worried about the Speaker outcome. This is possibly the best result, we'll see if the concessions Chip Roy negotiated will stick.

Well if Tucker Carlson needs anymore living proof that vaccines don’t work, here I am!

I had two plus two boosters and have been sick with Covid since Christmas. Testing negative and still sick as a dog. Doc says I was lucky enough to get the flu on top of the plague.

I got the vaccines because I am a diabetic and it was easier to get the poke than to listen to everyone yell at me that I was going to die if I didn’t. The 2nd booster almost did the job. I was knocked off my feet for three days and was so sick even my husband said That’s Enough.

Censorship is Deadly.

I’ve never watched Carlson but I’d defend his right to state his opinion before I’d vote for any democrat after this hoax.

So, what does Laura Helmuth plan to do? Does she want to ban football in this nation? Is that it? Does she have any idea how popular football, both college and professional, is? Does she want a for-real riot? An actual insurrection, not an unauthorized tour? You ban football today, and there's a Civil War by noon.

But, for someone like Laura Helmuth, they never actually think of the consequences of their actions of their rhetoric. It's all theoretical to them. Our intellectual class is, quite literally, a bunch of morons, galoots, imbecils and simpletons.

(I can't say the "Re***d word. I don't want to get cancelled.)

"Ah, “inherited.” Haven’t heard that one from the White House since Obama’s first term. It’s always the previous guy’s fault." Another hallmark of the Obama era was how he was always reading in the morning paper about the terrible things his administration was doing! He was shocked like everyone else that the FBI and CIA was spying on journalists, that the IRS was targeting conservatives, etc. Shocked!

I wish Damar Hamlin a full and speedy recovery. And to Tracy_Canada and others trying to spin this for their own agendas, I have two words: Chuck Hughes.

And for Biden and the "inherited" border mess, I have three words: prepare two envelopes.

Great column Treach!

Didn't know it was Pi Guy Day! And Lil! Yay! And hello NFT.

I had been wondering about all the hoopla surrounding the Speaker election. Given the press coverage, I wondered about these "bomb throwers". Then I got my head out of the supposedly mainstream press. David Harsanyi wrote it was a "management issue" basically. Then, there's this piece from The Federalist by Emily Jashinsky: https://thefederalist.com/2023/01/09/in-mccarthy-negotiations-gop-landed-on-most-significant-win-for-conservatives-in-a-decade/

No more Omnibus monstrosities? 72 hours to actually read the freaking bills?! I'm in.

The Deep State trying to censor Tucker?! I'm no longer surprised. I am, however, still angry.

As for the NFL "expert," with McDermott and Taylor, Black coaches weren't "disproportionately affected," so there's that. Sweet Lord...

As for the vaccines, with the latest variant, we simply have to stop or there will be a variant that causes great illness or death. We CAN'T "outsmart the mutations. And we don't need "Dr." Jill to tell us otherwise. Tucker was right. I no longer refer to them as vaccines, even though the CDC tried to redefine the term.

OK. NOW it feels like Monday.

The only actor other than Arnold to be in the sequels? Linda Hamilton was in the first sequel. I can't speak to the others, as I heard they sucked and therefore didn't watch them.
