Filibusters are normally used by Senators to object to some piece of legislation they do not agree with. It also may occur if there is some nominee that requires Senate approval and, again, the Senator in question wants to make a point of disagreeing with the advancement of said nominee.
A Virginia high school runner who whacked an opponent over the head with her relay baton has held a rally for her “supporters.” Alaila Everett has maintained she is innocent of the thing that everyone has seen her do. According to Everett, she just lost her balance.
NEW: The Virginia runner who bashed the head of an opponent with a metal baton holds a rally after getting charged with assault.
Odd.
Alaila Everett started sobbing while holding a rally outside of her high school in Virginia.

In yet another stunning example of government waste, the Biden administration’s $3 billion scheme to convert the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) fleet to electric vehicles (EVs) has delivered nothing but empty promises, skyrocketing costs, and a mere 93 vehicles out of the planned 50,000.
Tulsi Gabbard has been confirmed as Director of National Intelligence (DNI) by a 52-48 vote in the Senate. This was accomplished without Gabbard having to call Edward Snowden a traitor. At one point that seemed to be a requirement for confirmation. Of course, Snowden was not a traitor. Snowden was a whistleblower who had seen what happened to other whistleblowers within the NSA. This was why he took the course of action that he took and why he is still in Russia today.
The receipts are there. USAID paid off over 9,000 “journalists” as part and parcel of the CommunistsDemocrats annihilating the free press in this country. These figures are from 2023. Nearly half a billion dollars ($472.6 m) was pushed through a secretive NGO called “Internews Network.” The NGO worked with 4,291 media outlets and produced, in one year, 4,799 hours of broadcasts.
This is what happens when you go after the money.
As previously noted, in a last-ditch attempt to derail Pete Hegseth’s nomination to lead the Department of Defense, Senators received an 11th hour affidavit with spousal abuse allegations against Hegseth ahead of his confirmation vote. This is the same tactic used against Brett Kavanaugh when he was nominated for the Supreme Court. It was also used against Justice Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearings many years ago.
The Communists Democrats with the help of the FBI manuevered the Senate confirmation hearings so that only Pete Hegseth was on the calendar on Tuesday. Originally three such hearings were scheduled but the FBI slow walked the background checks of the other two so that Hegseth was the only one on Tuesday. The idea here was to magnify via the media any slip up by Hegseth when answering the ridiculous questions of some Communist Democratic Senators.
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) is essentially blaming Tulsi Gabbard for the slow schedule for her confirmation as Director of National Intelligence (DNI). The supposed reason? Gabbard did not submit her question survey to the SSCI. Of course, the SSCI had never sent Gabbard the questionnaire for her to complete.
Four years later, it is important to review what happened on January 6, 2021 in DC. It is important to repeat the facts of the day and to identify the whys of what happened. The history books need to reflect the reality of the day.
Following the scale of manipulation and fraud within the 2020 election, those involved needed to stop any state delegate challenge. One successful state election challenge would have upended the entire house of cards. To prevent this, an emergency session was needed for electoral vote count certification. Under an emergency session, normal debate rules would be suspended. The ability to bring a motion to the floor to challenge a state election would be vaporized.
