  • McConnell pans ‘totally inappropriate’ idea of term limits for Senate GOP leaders

    The Hill ^ | 03/06/2024 | ALEXANDER BOLTON
    Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has dismissed as “totally inappropriate” an idea being floated by Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and other GOP colleagues to place a term limit on his successor. McConnell, who has served more than 17 years as Senate GOP leader, noted that colleagues have an opportunity every two years before the start of a new Congress to elect a new leader. And he suggested it would put the Senate at a disadvantage to the House, where the Speaker does not have a term limit. McConnell also pointed out that Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) tried to unseat...
  • You Have No Idea How Bad Europe’s Energy Crisis Is

    Natural gas prices are 10 times the usual—upending industries, angering consumers, and panicking politicians. If most of the world is struggling with higher energy prices, Europe is being stretched on the rack, forcing European leaders to improvise bailout plans and emergency measures to spare consumers from damaging economic pain come winter. The biggest problem is spiking natural gas prices, which have been wreaking havoc across the continent, turbocharging inflation, hamstringing industries, and making ordinary people shudder when they get their power bills in the mail. European natural gas prices are now around 10 times higher than they were on average...
  • Biden calls idea American Rescue Plan caused inflation 'bizarre'

    President Joe Biden called assertions that his spending policies have been a cause of the skyrocketing inflation "bizarre." When asked about how his American Rescue Plan's substantial spending might have exacerbated the economy and pushed inflation into high gear, Biden waved away the accusation. "You could argue whether it had a marginal, minor impact on inflation. I don’t think it did," Biden told the interviewer. "And most economists do not think it did. But the idea that it caused inflation is bizarre."

    Former President Donald Trump’s niece Mary Trump said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Alex Witt Reports” that her uncle has no idea “what it feels like to love somebody or to be loved.” Referencing remarks the former president made at a rally, Witt asked, “So what did you make of listening to your uncle say that if he could, he would have done more to make sure that National Guard troops were deployed on January 6. What was your reaction to that?”

    So watcing speak today. Apprently everything is the fault of "bad actors" and the "super wealthy" We need some smart cartoonist to do a take off of the famous 1960s Pogo cartoon. In a famous anti war cartoon Pogo stated "We have met the enemy and he is us" We need a remake with Biden face "we have met the enemy and he is me". 50 years in DC and the exact same divisive political hate speech and phony class warfare rhetoric he was spewing in 1972

    Today BLM-Antifa members are protesting police involvement in evictions, according to local media. “Multiple women who say they’ve been illegally evicted by their landlords with Detroit police offers will give speeches,” one outlet reported. “Representatives with the Detroit Police Department said their policy is for officers to not assist landlords in evictions. However, activists are saying that has happened repeatedly over the years.” Marchers chanted, “Black homes are under attack, tell me what do we do, rise up fight back!” But what was no reported today is that the “idea” called Antifa and the “peaceful” protesters called BLM violently attack...

    “America was an idea.” Former Vice President Joe Biden tweeted that statement Wednesday evening, describing the country he wishes to lead — in the past tense. Biden included a link to a podcast interview with Brené Brown, and an audio clip in which he repeated the same message — “America was an idea”:

    An Idea Whose Time Has Come This may take a bit but I do have a goal in mind regarding solutions toward the real and perceived racism in America. On June 10, 1964, Everett Dirksen (R-IL), the Republican Leader in the U.S. Senate, condemned the Democrats’ 57-day filibuster against the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Leading the Democrats in their opposition to civil rights for African-Americans was Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV). Byrd spoke against the bill for fourteen straight hours. Democrats still call Robert Byrd “the conscience of the Senate.” Senator Everett Dirkesen broke the Democrat’s record breaking filibuster by referring...

    Thinking back to those wonderful days last October when it looked like we might lose the POTUS, the SCOTUS and the SOTUS I think it appropriate now that we find, and fight about, any differences we have about the way forward. If, in the end, it looks like we can only get 75 or 80 or 90 or 99% of what we want then let's kill everyone, burn the place down and salt the earth where it was. Let's fight each other! And if no one will fight us then lets fight ourselves!!

    On NPR news last week there were two reports coming out of Greece that I had trouble reconciling. The first was Greece’s $85 billion bailout resulting in the Greek PM stepping down. Greece isn’t just broke, it’s broken. And yet, the second story was about immigrants risking death on the seas to leave Turkey and other places to come to Greece. Obviously they are leaving broken countries where they risk death and injury at the hands of their government on a daily basis, to take a boat ride risking death and injury on the high seas, to go to another...

    My dearest wish is to one day have the pleasure of living in a small cabin in the frigid wilderness. There I will spend my nights covered in heavy wool blankets, eating smoked fish and dried fruit. Over time, my beard will grow to the point where I’ll be indistinguishable from a medium-sized woodland creature. The villagers I’ll come to know during my rare visits to town will call me “the wolfman,” not least because I will communicate solely by howling and scratching out messages with my clawlike fingernails. For now, I live in a big city, where such unconventional...
  • Natan Sharansky Exclusive: ‘European idea will die here and survive in Israel’

    THE JEWISH CHRONICLE ONLINE ^ | July 24, 2014 | Natan Sharansky
    I believe we are seeing the beginning of the end of Jewish history in Europe. What makes the situation in Europe unique in history is the fact that Europe has become very intolerant of identities in a multicultural and post-nationalist environment. This new antisemitism is very connected to Israel — demonisation, delegitimisation and double-standards — and is now so deep in the core of European political and intellectual leaders that practically every Jew is being asked to choose between being loyal to Israel and loyal to Europe. That insecurity is due to Muslim immigration and the rise of the classical...

    Beachgoers in South America can have a cold Coke and a smile, but unlike other consumers of the world's most popular soft drink, they can drink it directly from a bottle made entirely of ice. The Atlanta-based company says the “cold to the last drop” bottles "continue to make quite a splash in Colombia and throughout the advertising world." Indeed, the cool marketing ploy, began this year, has won Coca-Cola several awards. How does it work?

    The usual horde of tourists queuing to climb the Eiffel Tower was missing. Instead, armed officers barred the way to the deserted monument as, earlier this week, Paris was gripped by the latest al Qaeda terror scare. Elsewhere, soldiers helped police to guard other potential targets in the French capital, ranging from the Arc de Triomphe and Louvre to the Gare du Nord, where hundreds of British visitors arrive daily on the Eurostar.
