New in PJ Media:
The vote in the Senate on whether to begin to debate President Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill dragged on and on Saturday night, with some senators withholding their votes while, presumably, late-night machinations went on in what used to be called “smoke-filled rooms.” While the nation waited, President Trump himself took to Truth Social to tell us what he thought of one of the three Republicans who so far have voted against starting the debate, Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina.
Trump addressed Tillis’s stated objections to the bill, writing: “Looks like Senator Thom Tillis, as usual, wants to tell the Nation that he’s giving them a 68% Tax Increase, as opposed to the Biggest Tax Cut in American History! At the same time, he is unable to understand the importance of a Debt Extension, which Republicans gave to the Democrats just prior to the November 5th Election, because of its significance, and how important it was for the future of the U.S.A.”
With his characteristic bluntness, Trump then turned to his Democrat opponents, and went right to the heart of the matter: “Sadly, the Democrat Politicians probably won’t reciprocate on a Debt Extension because they’re nasty people who actually hate our Country.” Hyperbole, you say? Well, what would you call it when a party spends its time in power opening the border to millions upon millions of illegal migrants, going to war against the values of the vast majority of the citizenry, and resorting to authoritarian measures against its opponents the likes of which had never before been seen in American history?
In a later post, Trump continued to criticize the Democrats for their America-Last socialist internationalism:
Republicans must remember that they are fighting against a very evil, corrupt and, in many ways, incompetent (Policywise!) group of people, who would rather see our Country “go down in flames” than do the right thing and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! The Democrats would LOVE to see the Biggest Tax Hike in History (68%!), No Border Spending (Open Borders!), and a weak, underfunded Military, so we wouldn’t be able to do things like we did just one week ago in Iran.
Trump stressed his willingness to compromise with the Dems, albeit his willingness to play ball with them wasn’t reciprocated:
We gave the Dems a Debt Extension because it was the right thing to do, but they won’t do it for us. The one thing they do have is an ability to stick together, and vote as one group (They don’t have GRANDSTANDERS!). They also have House and Senate Rules that give Great Power to their Leaders – Committee Chairmanships, etc. Republicans don’t have that, have never been able to get it, BUT THEY SHOULD! What we do have is wonderful people and phenomenal Policy, and that should win Elections every single time!
There is more. Read the rest here.

Both sides are grandstanding. Chuck the schmuck forced the 940 page bill to be read openly before debate could even start. He sure didn’t do that when plastic Nancy said we must pass the 2000+ pages of obama care. Hypocrites! Get rid of these cheats and liars who say one thing and do the other.

These so called servants of the people are nothing but actors trained to put up smoke and mirrors to distract from what they are really doing funding their own bank accounts. Political science majors trained in how to use the media to get elected and use all the buzz words.

Interesting. Even Trump’s worst distractors can’t accuse him of being subtle.

It has been revealed that nearly 2000 iranian illegals crossed the border during the biden pretendership and about half were caught and released into the country. Knowingly released.
We have been informed of many of the evil, hateful, anti-constitutional things that have been done. One has to wonder about all of those things of the same nature and substance which have not yet come to light.
Years ago, before modern washing machines, there were washers which only emptied when the human using it needed to change the water or was done and emptied it.
A load of really dirty clothes, meant one load use, and it needed to be changed.
This load of people who are *in charge* of making laws, and writing policies, refuse to discard the dirty and start fresh.
They get paid big bucks to not do their jobs.
chuckie was recently rushed to the hospital during a gym visit. He was dehydrated. what if the EMT, nurses, doctors sat on their hands and read comic books while chuckie waited for help? He could still be on a gurney….at the gym.

Looks like the threat has already worked: Tillis ain’t runnin’ again

I understand GOP opposition to Medicare cuts but not Medicaid. Also,what exactly were those cuts that Tillis was opposed to? Were they
⮞ Keeping the budget frozen & not allowing for inflation
⮞ Eliminating the waste, fraud & abuse that we’ve seen DOGE discover so much of in the last several months
⮞ Not increasing Medicaid to the levels the Dems would have liked
Anyway, Tillis was a pretty mediocre senator. I hope Lara Trump or Michael Watley can be persuaded to run for that seat
