Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-PA) is the ninth Democrat to defect from Pelosi’s partisan effort to use the Committee on House Administration to overturn Iowa’s Second Congressional District election

House Democrats have publicly come out against the Pelosi and Harts plan, including Reps. Dean Phillips (MN), Elissa Slotkin (MI), Chris Pappas (NH), Susan Wild (PA), Lou Correa (CA), Rep. Josh Gotteimer (NJ), David Price (NC), and Dan Kildee (MI), as well as two moderate anonymous Democrats.

I think the current House split is 222 DEMs and 213 REPs

Thank you Chel. Loved it.

And now the Capital barricades were rammed by a car and an officer killed.

Was it a rabid Trump voting white supremacist?

No, it was a black Louis Farrakhan devotee. Wonder how they are going to blame this on white supremacy?

Easy. White Supremacy fostered this as a backlash. That's all they'll need to say (and they do believe it). Without rampant White Supremacy, Farrakhan would not have risen to poser.

Don’t forget the poor young man was having a mental health crisis.If only there was a social worker there.

Being a democrat and having mental health issues is redundant

An excellent article about what might lay ahead for the country. From WSJ, no link, pay wall.

Opinion | Joe Biden’s American Grandstand

Lance Morrow

5-7 minutes

The country reinvents itself from time to time. Reinvention is what Americans have instead of revolution, which Karl Marx called the “locomotive of history.” Who needs a locomotive when you’ve got the Wright brothers and Elon Musk ?

The country started with people coming across the ocean to reinvent themselves—a project that was either glorious or genocidal, depending on how woke you are. It reinvented itself, as a democracy, by electing Andrew Jackson in 1828, when all those unwashed white men swarmed into Washington from beyond the mountains. It reinvented itself in 1861-65 by fighting a civil war, and after that by creating, in effect, a new country in the vast expansions (of population, of settlement, of industrial development) during the Gilded Age. It reinvented itself and its way of government in the New Deal. It reimagined itself after World War II, among other things by creating the GI Bill and the interstate highways—two brilliant new systems of mobility. During the 1960s, the baby boomers conjured a “counterculture” around a noisy repudiation of their parents’ America. What they came up with arguably wasn’t an improvement, but it was definitely a reinvention.

Now the Biden administration, headed by a man a few years too old to be a boomer, entertains ambitions to take a great leap forward. But wait. Does a transformation require a mandate? By what mandate does the Biden administration undertake the work of irrevocably altering American society? Do Mr. Biden and his people claim that the dogmatic and occasionally hysterical certitude of the woke is sufficient warrant to turn the country upside down?

There was no mandate in the outcome of the last election. November 2020 merely confirmed that the U.S. remains split precisely down the middle, 50-50, as it has been for more than 20 years, since the deadlock of Al Gore and George W. Bush and the hanging chads of Florida. If the 2020 election meant anything, it confirmed the irreconcilable differences—a standoff of the cobra and mongoose. The election certainly didn’t give Mr. Biden marching orders from the American people to open the southern border to all comers, or to redesign the natural order of biology (in regard to gender identity and all the social arrangements that have flowed from the difference between the sexes since time immemorial), or to change the country in a hundred other ways, bundling it off on an expedition to the far left fringes of reality and grievance. What the new administration proposes may be less a transformation than a hijacking. Half the country doesn’t want to be reinvented—not on Mr. Biden’s terms.

He and his people have gone into business with a bogus, echo-chamber mandate: They manipulate a media illusion of unanimity, and presume to impose a moral narrative. The Bolsheviks, a tiny but ferociously focused minority, proceeded in this way in 1917.

Most mainstream American news outlets, unblushing partisans of the left’s program, dismiss the views of the other half of the country. Whether that bad half is called Trumpian or conservative or merely old-fashioned, the left thinks it sufficient to demonize such people in annihilating terms like “domestic terrorist,” “racist,” “white supremacist” and “transphobic.”

Is there a mandate for the country to be reinvented just now? Leave aside Donald Trump’s claims that the election was stolen; it was, without argument, close. The result would seem to call not for a radical transformation of the country but, rather, for compromise, reconciliation and the retraction of ideological claws. Then people might calm down.

But a president who is 78 is bound to be impatient. Mr. Biden didn’t lay a glove on history during nearly four decades in the U.S. Senate. A man of his age—fearing that he may amount to nothing more than the great Obama’s onetime sidekick—is apt to react to the surprise of waking up in the White House by pandering to the flashiest ideas of the young people and their hero Bernie Sanders. Mr. Biden can, for a moment, forestall death if he veers way left and makes his mark, however chaotically. If he’s just as woke as the woke, the years will fall away. He can be young again. He can be the Dick Clark of 21st-century statesmen, presiding over the kids’ dances, spinning platters on the record player of the American future.

The country, which is the accumulation of its repeated reinventions, ought to be careful. It isn’t clear that reinvention is always a good idea. It may be true that a country, like a person, must die to be born again. But up close, both death and rebirth are a painful, messy, serious business that should be respected—and may be horribly botched.

Decent article but it’s only scratching the surface of the shit-storm this country is being deliberately sailed into.

I find "reinvent" an incomplete notion. Not far off from "reimagining" which we see the woke throwing around at will. Both kind of deny all that came before and the ongoing progression of living on this planet. Of course true Marxism would have us back at square one so reinvention and reimagination are too many's wet dream. They are real as such and demonstrably invalid.

With Ron DeSantis getting so much positive reports from REP side, CBS 60 Minutes doers a hit job on him.

A fabricated story including editing of the video

https://www.breitbart.com/the-...-ron-desantis-video/

CBS News’ disgraced news magazine 60 Minutes has been caught maliciously editing comments made by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) about a fake “pay for play” conspiracy theory, which fake media outlets like 60 Minutes are trying to fabricate out of thin air.

Side Note: DeSantis’ full and complete and reasonable answer was available on YouTube, but now the exculpatory YouTube video has mysteriously vanished after conservatives began sharing it.

Over Easter weekend, 60 Minutes released a clip of its correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi (pictured, right) basically heckling the governor with her debunked conspiracy theory during a March press conference. But…

The clip released by the fake outlet is maliciously edited to make it look as though DeSantis dodged and bulldozed her question rather than answer it — which he did to the satisfaction of any reasonable person.

“Publix, as you know, donated $100,000 to your campaign,” Alfonsi angrily says. “And then you rewarded them with the exclusive rights to distribute the vaccination in Palm Beach –”

“First, of all what you’re saying is wrong,” DeSantis fires back.

“How is that not pay for play?” Alfonsi shouts back.

“That’s a fake narrative,” DeSantis explains. “I met with the county mayor, I met with the administrator, I met with all the folks at Palm Beach County and I said, ‘Here’s some of the options: We can do more drive-thru sites, we can give more to hospitals, we can do the Publix.’ And they said, ‘We think that would be the easiest thing for our residents.'”

Alfonsi shouts back that Palm Beach County Commissioner Melissa McKinlay says DeSantis “never met with her about the Publix deal.” She then heckles the governor: “The criticism here is that is pay for play, governor!”

“And it’s wrong, it’s wrong,” DeSantis replies. “It’s a fake narrative. I just disabused you of the narrative. And you don’t care about the facts. Because, obviously, I laid it out for you in a way that is irrefutable.”

From the former head of Florida's emergency management agency ( a Democrat ) to 60 Minutes:

"I said this before and I’ll say it again. @Publix was recommended by @FLSERT and @HealthyFla as the other pharmacies were not ready to start. Period! Full Stop! No one from the Governors office suggested Publix. It’s just absolute malarkey."

Total fucking hatchet job and I am glad 60 Microseconds is being called out for it.

Publix was the first pharmacy organization to say they could deal with the situation of vaccinating the elderly populace of P.B. county, in addition to the fact that DeSantis offered during the interview which was no doubt intentionally deleted, that 90% of all PB elderly LIVE WITHIN 1 MILE OF A PUBLIX !!!

Kudos to Dave Kerner for putting the truth above partisan politics.

some potential good news re Sen Lisa Murkowski (R supposedly)

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/...kowski-poll-n2587457

According to a Cygnal poll released at the end of March, Murkowski has only 10% favorability among Republicans.

Murkowski is up for reelection in 2022.

Kelly Tshibaka is now a REP primary challenger to Murkowski.

Tshibaka leads in a hypothetical primary ballot, with the support of 61 percent of Republicans.

voters roundly rejected Murkowski’s two decades in the upper chamber, votes on immigration issues, vote to convict former President Trump in his second impeachment trial, and her stance toward Justice Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court.

Murkowski's best hope is to run as a Democrat, as that is what she truly is.

step in the right direction

The Arizona State Senate passed a bill on Tuesday prohibiting the private funding of election administration.

The Republican-controlled state senate passed HB 2569, a bill banning the private funding of election administration and management, in a straight party-line vote 16 to 14.

The bill, which passed the Republican-controlled Arizona House of Representatives last month in a 31 to 29 party-line vote, now goes to Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican, for his signature to become law.

“HB 2569 is common sense legislation that will ensure Arizona’s elections are free from outside influence and that our voters can have confidence in the integrity of the process,” State Rep. Jake Hoffman (R-Queen Creek), who sponsored the bill in the House, told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview.

“Nearly half a billion dollars in private funding was spent by out of state Democrat billionaires to influence the administration of county and state elections operations nationally, including millions here in Arizona. The Arizona legislature doesn’t want billionaires from any Party, or of any kind, attempting to influence our election system,” Hoffman added.

Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, contributed a total of $419 million to two non-profit groups, The Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL) and the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR), which provided privately funded election administration in the 2020 presidential election around the country.
