On Wednesday the senile one who sometimes sleeps in the White House threatened U.S. troop engagement with Russian troops if Congress doesn’t provide further funding for Ukraine. The nonsense being pushed is that failing to fund the continuance of the Ukraine war means that Russia will invade a NATO country.
A note from Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) on the current budget process.
Quick update this Tuesday morning from Washington. As many of you know, Congress is once again up against a deadline to pass legislation funding the federal government’s discretionary spending.

Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz delivered a resoundingly honest speech to the Republican attendees at the Florida Freedom Summit on Saturday. It is well worth the time to watch, as prompted.
Gaetz’s brutal confrontation of the GOPe headlines some of the funniest and best components of the BIG UGLY so far. Gaetz has been put through the wringer, bombarded from every angle, smeared by both the left and right and elements of the DOJ, and yet he’s still standing. Not only that but he is still delivering brutal one-liners to their faces.
Crypto conman Sam Bankman-Fried has been found guilty of fraud and conspiracy. The evidence was overwhelming and the three former executives who worked side by side with him testified against him. It took the jury just over four hours to render guilty verdicts on all seven counts.
Of course, with all the friends he had among elite politicians this may have been a surprise to Bankman-Fried. However, Bankman-Fried was expendable by the Democrats once the money laundering operation started to dry up after the 2022 election.
Bankman-Fried is the fall guy. I wonder just what he knows about the inner machinations of the money laundering operations that shovel money to politicians.
What is his life expectancy now?
It was a tradition in the Catholic Church that, when a new Pope had been elected, white smoke would emanate from the Vatican. It did not matter how long such a process took. It did not matter how many votes were needed. It was over when white smoke was seen.
Recently Candace Owens gave a speech at the University at Albany. Owens was taking part in Turning Point USA’s Live Free Tour. During the question-and-answer portion of the program, one student asked: “What do you have to say to the trans students on this campus who feel actively victimized by your presence here?”
Thoughts that echo through an idle mind.
Speaker Pro Tempore of the House Patrick McHenry was visibly furious over the ouster of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker. Was this because Pelosi and Steny Hoyer had promised to protect the Speakership if it was challenged?
Where was this anger when J6 defendants were and are still being railroaded by Biden’s weaponized DOJ? Did McHenry ever speak out forcefully about this maladministration of justice?
For the first time in the history of the country a sitting Speaker of the House has been ousted from his position. 208 Democrats and 8 Republicans voted to support Matt Gaetz’s motion to vacate the Speaker’s Chair.
Sundance over at CTH has a remarkably clear post that outlines just how this took place.
In August, an AP-NORC poll found that 77 percent of people responding said Biden, 80, is too old to get four more years in office. The poll said that sentiment was shared by 89 percent of Republicans and 69 percent of Democrats. Likewise, a Wall Street Journal poll found 73 percent of voters saying Biden is too old.
A government shutdown is looming with October 1 as the deadline.
Democrats are attacking the Republicans over it. How dare any of the Republicans not want to continue the rampant spending we’ve seen from the Democrats and the Biden team? That same spending has helped fuel the inflation that everyone is suffering from now.
Matt Gaetz:
“We are devaluing American money so rapidly that in America today, you can’t even bribe Democrat Senators with cash alone! You need to bring gold bars to get the job done, just so that the bribes hold value!” Gaetz declared. ...
