Republicans have been against raising the debt limit — especially given that Joe Biden wants to break the bank and pass massive spending spree legislation — and have already voted twice against it.So in order to raise the debt limit, Democrats have been trying to figure out how to get around the filibuster and raise it by a simple majority. Democrats have been tossing around the idea of an exception to the filibuster.But Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) said today he isn’t having any of that. He said once again today that he’s standing by the filibuster and he isn’t going...

Joe Biden has been throwing a big fit over Republicans not wanting to go along with raising the debt ceiling.He even claimed that if the GOP didn’t agree to do it they would be the equivalent of sending a “meteor headed to crash into our economy.” Imagine using that terminology to describe not wanting to keep spending into oblivion.Earlier, we reported that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had thrown out a potential offer for a short-term suspension of the debt ceiling.My new statement on the Democrats’ self-created debt limit crisis: pic.twitter.com/XwuqyS9oZ0— Leader McConnell (@LeaderMcConnell) October 6, 2021“We have already made...

Rumble — Is Merrick Garland creating an East German Stasi-like FBI? Why is the DOJ getting involved in school board meetings and going after Moms as if they’re domestic terrorists?

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has issued a throwdown to Joe Biden’s school board cops over at the Department of Justice. This week, Attorney General Merrick Garland ordered the FBI to begin looking into cases of “domestic terrorists” showing up at school board meetings across the nation to rail against mask mandates and the racist “critical race theory” programs. PJ Media’s Stacey Lennox noted that Garland’s response to a complaint by a National School Boards Association was an obvious attempt to chill free speech and turn understandably concerned parents into “domestic terrorists,” as the letter called the parents. PJ Media’s Megan...
