When is the confirmation hearing?
Whenever McConnell grows a pair and drags the Dems to the Senate Chamber in handcuffs so he has a quorum.
To: \/\/ayne
Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska . . . because the status quo of just throwing more money at the problem is working so well?

DeVos comported herself poorly in the initial hearing, honestly, sounded dumber than a box of rocks, but her heart, her financial contributions and efforts for improving education have prove limitless.

If the vote is a tie then Pence is the tie breaking vote.

Probably not if a couple of Democrat crossovers like Joe Manchin of West Virginia render them irrelevant . . .

CNN is repeating the lie about a plagiarized quote:
“Every child deserves to attend school in a safe, supportive environment where they can learn, thrive, and grow,”
As though this is some deep, complex concept that couldn’t be arrived at independently.
Straws?

Betsy DeVos. I knew I recognized the name. She is wife to Dick DeVos, son of Amway co-founder Richard DeVos.

I hope it is not money talking. Being financially independent, however, permits one to not be accountable to ‘overseers’.

Two RINOs. It would only take three to scuttle her nomination.

Her brother is also Erik Prince of Blackwater fame. Bottom line: It's not what you know, it's who you know.
