The disrespectful Representative Al Green was censured this morning due to his disgusting behavior during the President's speech.

He is the first Congressman to be escorted from a presidential speech in the history of our nation.

Kremlin Agrees With Rubio's View Ukraine Is a US-Russia Proxy War

Secretary of State Marco Rubio's view the Ukraine conflict is a proxy war between the United States and Russia is in line with Russian President Vladimir Putin's own assessment, the Kremlin said Thursday.

"It's been very clear from the beginning that [President Donald Trump] views this as a protracted, stalemated conflict," Rubio said in a televised interview Wednesday.

"And frankly, it's a proxy war between nuclear powers – the United States, helping Ukraine, and Russia – and it needs to come to an end."

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow agreed with Rubio's assessment and noted that Russia has said many times that the war is a conflict between Russia and the U.S.-led collective West.

"We can and want to agree with it, and we agree with it. That's the way it is. We have said this repeatedly. We have said that this is actually a conflict between Russia and the collective West. And the main country of the collective West is the United States of America," Peskov said of Rubio's remarks.

"So it is absolutely in line with the position that our president and foreign minister have repeatedly expressed. We have said this repeatedly, and yes, we agree that it is time to stop this conflict and this war."

I watched video segments of Sen. Joe Manchin on FOX News this morning, as well as a video compilation of John Fetterman, who is way different than what I expected now that he’s healed. Both spot on.

Fetterman compared the Dems to “the metaphorical car alarm that nobody listens to,” which was a really effective analogy.

Fetterman isn't any better, he voted no on the no men/boys in girls/women sports. Beep Beep Beep..... Talks a good game but still votes with all his car alarm buddies...

If he wants to change the narrative, start voting with things that make sense, like that bill on men/women sports, it is something 80% of the USA wants, meaning some of his voters.... Break away, and back up his rhetoric.

I think the dims are in a real predicament. They've been exposed, and the old stupid shit that used to give them a sporadic and intermittent sense of majority isn't going to work again. Common sense and efficient government is becoming the new norm and the only way to defeat it is doing it better than the republicans do it. I don't think we're gong back to widespread support for some of stupid things just eradicated, such as DEI, more than two genders, open borders, fiscal irresponsibility, America last, etc.

Dems have to first come to this realization, then become better at all of it than republicans are going to do it. They obviously aren't coming to any realizations, and think they can regain power doing the old stupid shit.

Efficent and smaller government and a successful America first agenda, lower taxes and energy, and a growing economy should make the republicans unbeatable for a long time. I think DT has nearly eradicated the democrat party from power in the near future.

Truth. I had forgotten the unanimous Dem vote against men/boys in women’s/girls sports. Disgraceful and impossible to defend.

I would have expected Fetterman - the victim of a brain injury himself - to have at least stood and clapped for DJ given his brain injuries and recoveries, but he just sat there like a worthless wart

I can't figure him out - he has moments of being lucid but long periods of being an asshole

The big difference is that the Department of Education is no longer a new thing. It now has a 45 year history of failure.

President Trump doesn't need to disband the Department of Education, he can fund it at 0.0000000001% of the current budget. Same effect.

Except Congress, and in particular, the House of Representatives, is invested with the “power of the purse,” the ability to tax and spend public money for the national government.

“All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other Bills.”
— U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 7, clause 1

Not really related to Trump but the idea keeps being thrown around that cuts will affect poor kids. Specifically they will not have enough food to eat if the schools don’t provide free lunches. Here in KY, and I’m sure other places as well, schools now provide free lunches during the summer. Some local schools will even deliver sack lunches to designated spots in the community. On top of this, there are programs to send kids home with a bag of food on the weekend so they have something to eat until they come back to school Monday.

Why do we have these programs???!!! And why is nobody asking why we have all these government handouts and still have the need for these school food programs? I’m not knocking the programs at all because no child should go hungry. I just think nobody looks at the underlying issue of needing these programs to feed kids and why our schools are slowly taking over as parents through these types of programs. Now every school in my county has a nurse and there’s a push for each one to have a psychologist and an additional mental health professional. Schools should not be raising our kids!

Sorry for the rant. I’ve had this conversation with my school teacher wife a lot. She agrees but sees firsthand how parents don’t take care of their kids.

With states' rights come states' responsibilities.

Too many individuals and organizations (this especially includes governments) are willing to abdicate responsibility for their own well-being because it takes effort. This country is full of people & organizations that will happily tell you what's right for you, and plenty willing to go along with it.

Sigh. I’m sure it is petty, but when he talks about the DOE “servicing” poor and disadvantaged kids, he’s using the wrong word. Maybe it was a Freudian slip, but what he meant to say is “serving” those kids. The reality is that the DOE has been “servicing” all students, all parents, and all taxpayers and that needs to stop.

Edited to fix post. Added text moved to beyond last quote instead of in the middle of it, sigh…

Shellenberger - he states that CIA and USAID conspired on getting Trump impeached! Ground News gives it a high score on factuality.

https://x.com/shellenberger/st.../1887282174321152095

Any other confirming information on this?

I consider this truly frightening, if verifiable!

Has the DOE had their visit from DOGE yet? Trump may not be able to dissolve them but he has other tools he can use to at least neuter them.

My daughter and daughter in law are both counselors at the high school level. My daughter in particular says the majority of her day is spent with kids in her office having the vapors because a teacher in most cases or at times a classmate referred to them by their dead name. These kids are changing their pronouns as often as weekly. It's entirely about attention seeking and is extremely detrimental to any actual learning.

My daughter cannot contact the parents and say your daughter or son is in my office crying because someone did not use the proper pronoun. Or you son Billy decided to be Betty today so he could spend some time in the girls bathroom. All she can tell the parents is that he or she is failing classes. She cannot say the cause of it is based on gender identity issues. She can say if they are not showing up for classes or any other reason that contributes to them failing as long as it's not tied to any gender identity issues.

These types of directives I would imagine come from the DOE.

So what??? And I ask this with all respect and sincerity... what good does it REALLY do??? The POS stands there in "the well" while the writ of censure is read to him. That's it??? Nothing more? If he doesn't actually LOSE something, be it a significant financial penalty, loss of a vote on upcoming bills, or SOMETHING that causes him to think twice about ever acting that way again, what difference does it make?

Being escorted out by the sergeant at arms would at least be embarrassing for someone with a sense of decency, but this POS has none and wore it like a badge of honor!

What am I missing here?
