Democrats Rage After John Fetterman Saves Markwayne Mullin’s Nomination to Lead DHS

NYPost.com:

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) crossed party lines to advance his colleague Markwayne Mullin’s nomination to lead the Department of Homeland Security in a nail-biting committee vote Thursday. 

 

Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul (R-Ky.) voted against reporting Mullin (R-Okla.) to the full Senate, but Fetterman voted in favor of sending the pick to the floor for a final vote. 

 

All 13 other committee members voted along party lines, making the final tally 8-7 in Mullin’s favor.

Funny how angry Democrats are with Fetterman's vote while talking about primarying him when Fettermen comes from a swing state, has always marched to the beat of his own drum and is still beloved by most Pennsylvanian's. Besides that, isn't it the Senator's job to vote on the nominee's ability to do the job instead of what the party (i.e. Chuck Schumer) dictates? That said, the Democrat's anger over Fetterman's vote just reeks of pearl-clucthing and I'm sure that if Fetterman chooses to run for re-election he'll win.

Utah 'Black Widow' Kouri Richins Found Guilty of Fatally Poisoning Husband

USAToday.com:

A Utah jury found a mother of three guilty of fatally poisoning her husband with a fentanyl-laced cocktail, a crime that drew national attention when the woman wrote a children's book about grief and the loss of a loved one. 

 

Jurors deliberated for just over three hours on March 16, before finding Kouri Darden Richins guilty of first-degree aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, forgery and insurance fraud in the death of her husband. 

Eric Richins, 39, died on March 4, 2022, of a fentanyl overdose at the couple's home in Kamas, Utah, a small mountain town about 40 miles east of Salt Lake City.

It only took the jury less than 3 hours to come to their verdict. Richins' former housekeeper admitted that she had procured illicit fentanyl pills for her. Richins was also having an affair while she was poisoning her husband and of course, there's the large insurance policies taken out before the husband's death--yeah, throw away the keys and put this evil witch away for life.

Las Vegas Police Refuse to Release Violent Criminal Despite Liberal Judge's Order

NYPost.com:

A Las Vegas judge is threatening to hold cops in contempt for refusing to release a violent career criminal with 35 busts on his rap sheet — a legal scrap testing the power of the bench over the badge. 

 

Las Vega Metro police are challenging the authority of Justice Eric Goodman over the fate of Joshua Sanchez-Lopez, a 36-year-old repeat felon whose priors include involuntary manslaughter, drugs and car theft, according to a report by KLAS-TV News. 

 

Goodman wants the goon released with an ankle monitor — but cops said he’s too dangerous to cut loose. “We have to take a look at that and say, ‘Is this somebody who our electronic supervision program can monitor safely in the community?” Mike Dickerson, assistant general counsel for Metro police, told the outlet. “This is an issue of public safety.”

Be really interesting to see how this plays out: an elected judge versus an elected executive officer. That said, seems like the sheriff is doing his duty in attempting to protect citizens under his jurisdiction from a repeated felon who also has a history of blowing off court appearances and skipping court-ordered rehabilitation programs. But these left-wing, soft-on-crime don't care about that, becasue they've been brainwashed to think that locking up criminals somehow doesn't serve as a deterrent to crime--even when the evidence speaks otherwise.

California Couple Sues L.A. Schools for Trans ‘Secrecy Policy’ After Teen’s Suicide

NYPost.com:

A Los Angeles high school’s “secrecy policy” kept a California couple in the dark about their only child’s gender identity, helped “sever” the family’s relationship — and ultimately drove the teen to suicide, his parents alleged. 

 

Dylan Parke was already struggling to fit in as a sophomore at Palisades Charter High School in Los Angeles in 2019-2020 when he told school staffers he would use she/her pronouns and go by the name “Aria,” as he transitioned into a woman. 

 

Parke had been diagnosed with depression, was in mental health treatment and “appeared easily influenced and preoccupied with how others perceived him,” parents Kathleen Mulligan and Andrew Parke said in a California federal court lawsuit against the Los Angeles Unified School District, embattled superintendent Alberto Caravlho and others.

Good for them and any parent that's had to deal with school's hiding their evil 'gender-transition' policies from them. To think, we still live in a world where parents have to sign permission slips just to let their kids go on school trips and yet these morally bankrupt loons stay trying to indoctrinate kids with their gender BS. Now thanks to the Courts, all parents have standing to sue, punitive damages and attorney fees are receivable and teachers, pricipals, administrators and even SB members will have a tough time getting qualified immunity.

Liberal CNN Host Abby Phillip Corrects False Claim About NYC Terror Attack

Mediaite.com:

As the two groups confronted one another, a member of the latter group, Emir Balat, proceeded to hurl an improvised explosive device at the former. Balat and a co-conspirator, Ibrahim Kayumi, have been arrested in connection with the attack. Authorities have since revealed that Balat and Kayumi were inspired by ISIS and confirmed that the right-wing protesters were their target. 

 

Phillip’s identification of Mamdani as the target of the attack attracted quite a bit of attention online, and the host corrected herself on Wednesday morning. 

 

“I want to correct something I said last night. The bombs thrown in New York City over the weekend by ISIS inspired attackers was thrown into a crowd of anti-Muslim protestors and not specifically targeted at Mayor Mamdani,” she wrote in an X post on Wednesday “That wording was inaccurate and I didn’t catch it ahead of time. I apologize for the error.”

Of course, anyone who watches Abby Phillip’s show regularly already knows that she frequently lies on the GOP and always runs interference for Democrats. But this particular falsehood was so blatant and drew so much attention in conservative circles online that, unlike many similar moments in the past, she was ultimately forced to issue an apology and a correction. One can only speculate that the response may also be tied to the possibility that CNN could soon have new ownership—leadership that might try to shift the network away from being viewed as “MSNBC 2.0” and toward a more traditional cable news outlet focused on straightforward journalism rather than overt host bias. And for Phillip, whose on-air style includes interrupting and fact-checking conservative guests while giving liberal panelists wide latitude to attack Republicans spew any lies they want unchecked, this latest incident has renewed calls that she needs to resign.

Jesse Jackson Jr. Rebukes Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden for Not Truly Knowing His Father During Memorial Service

FOXNews.com:

During his father’s memorial service on Saturday, Jesse Jackson Jr. offered a sharp rebuke of the tributes given by former Democratic presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, noting that the trio shared one thing in common: they didn’t really know his father. 

 

"Yesterday I listened for several hours of three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson," Jackson Jr. said on Saturday. 

 

The reverend’s son called out the idea that his father’s life wasn’t defined by the "political order," but by a commitment to those who were marginalized. "He maintained a tense relationship with the political order, not because the presidents were White or Black, but the demands of our message, the demands of speaking for the least of these — those who are disinherited, the damned, the dispossessed, the disrespected — demanded not Democratic or Republican solutions, but demanded a consistent, prophetic voice that at no point in time sold us out as a people," Jackson Jr. continued.

Of course, no one exploits tragedies better than Democrats, so no surpise here that Biden, Obama and Clinton would take turns and use Jesse Jackson's funeral service to attach Trump. The irony here, of course, is that Trump knew Rev. Jackson better than any of them, helped Jackson out a lot back in the day and genuinely seeemd to like the guy. There's also that time, back in 2008, when Jackson lashed out at Obama for not speaking to issues important to black people and while Jackson would later apologize to Obama for the remarks, after his passing, the irony of Jackson's often strained relationship with establishment Democrats isn't lost today.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani to Propose Property Tax Hike

AOL.com:

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is expected to propose raising property taxes to balance the city budget on Tuesday, in the face of Gov. Kathy Hochul’s continued resistance to raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations. The mayor is set to reveal his preliminary budget plans Tuesday afternoon at City Hall. 

 

“We do have a big gap to fill, and he’s put a pretty extreme option on the table, which is a combination of raising property taxes and taking money from reserves, and relying on some pretty aggressive revenue projections to boot,” said City Comptroller Mark Levine, who was briefed on the proposal Tuesday morning. 

 

On the campaign trail, Mamdani emphasized a need to reform the city’s property tax system, which economists say favors single-family homes, luxury condos and predominantly white neighborhoods overall, and places more weight on multi-family buildings and homeowners in mostly Black neighborhoods.

Of course, Mamdani will blame Kathy Hochul for not passing a wealth tax. But imagine how the average Mamdani voter (esp. homeowners) feels now after hearing this news, especially after being promised a bunch of free shit on the campaign trail--nonetheless it wasn't like Eric Adams, prominent conservatives and even Andrew Cuomo didn't warn them.

Adam Schiff Walks Right Into Bill Maher’s Trap With Trump Quote Fakeout

Mediaite.com:

Bill Maher slapped Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) with a gotcha moment after he got him to critique a statement from former President Barack Obama, while the lawmaker thought it was from President Donald Trump. 

 

“This statement from the administration: ‘The president had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force because he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest.’ That too vague for you?” Maher asked Schiff on Friday’s Real Time. 

 

“Totally vague,” Schiff said. “Okay, because that’s from Obama about Libya,” Maher said. The 2011 statement from the administration reads: “The President had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force in Libya because he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest.”

This is so good because you can see Schiff's face light up at the idea of going off on presidetial authority to use the military when he thinks Trump made the quote, before changing the subject once he realizes it was actually Obama. But then Schiff wouldn't be lying, corrupt weasel of a politician if it wasn't so easy to make him look like a fool.

After a Litany of Issues, Trump Fires DHS Secretary Kristi Noem

CNN.com:

President Donald Trump said Thursday on social media he was firing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and would name Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin to replace her. 

 

Trump thanked Noem for her service, saying in his Truth Social post she “has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!)” and that she “will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere.” 

 

He said Mullin would take over the position March 31. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the Trump administration will work to confirm Mullin “as quickly as possible.”

Despite bipartisan calls for her to resign for weeks now, one kept trying to give Kristi Noem the benefit of the doubt because its only been a year and change since she got the DHS post, she'd already been sidelined by Trump after that disastrous Minnesota press conference and of course it'd be a win for Democrats (who've long despised her), but to be fair the now-former DHS Secretary brought this firing onto herself. Indeed, a steady stream of controversies that ultimately made her position untenable. The most damaging crisis erupting after immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota led to the fatal shootings of American citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti, whom Noem quickly labeled “domestic terrorists,” only for cellphone and body camera footage to cast doubt on her department’s account. Her refusal to apologize during congressional hearings alienated members of both parties. At the same time, lawmakers questioned her approval of luxury Gulfstream G700 jets for the Department of Homeland Security, including one reportedly equipped with a bedroom, while a vain, $220 million horseback-themed ad campaign urging migrants to self-deport reportedly angered Trump after he denied ever approving it. Combined with smaller but damaging optics controversies (from the “Blanketgate” incident involving noted numbskull/aide Corey Lewandowski to her widely criticized memoir anecdote about shooting the family dog) Noem’s tenure became defined by a long list conainging poor judgment and political liabilities that ultimately led to her firing.

James Talarico Defeats Jasmine Crockett in Texas Senate Primary Election

HoustonPublicMedia.org:

Austin state Rep. James Talarico beat Dallas Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, prevailing in a tight race that boosted the party’s hopes for a statewide win in November. 

 

With all but one of Texas’ counties and 85% of its polling locations reporting, Talarico had received 53.1% of the vote compared to 45.6% for Crockett, according to the Texas Secretary of State’s Office. The Associated Press early Wednesday morning called the race in favor of Talarico, who got a surge of exposure and financial backing at the start of early voting after his appearance on “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert was scrapped from the CBS broadcast but viewed by millions on YouTube. 

 

“We’re about to take back Texas,” Talarico said in a Wednesday morning statement, referring to Democrats’ quest of winning a statewide election for the first time in more than 30 years. In the November general election, Talarico will face the winner of the Republican primary, which is headed to a May 26 runoff between incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

I'm convinced that Crockett never truly wanted to win this Senate rcae. First, there's the fact that not too long ago she went on The Breakfast Club and bragged about how she could make more $$$ outside of politics. Secondly and more importantly, there's Crockett's Senate campaign itself: an awful strategy that contained nothing but identity politics, continuous Trump smears, only doing friendly interviews with press (while being hostile towards those doing real journalism) and almost never talking about her actual policies or what she could do as a Senator to make Texan working-class voters lives better. That said, a Biden shill through and through and certified Democrat-establishment leech, even after her loss I highly doubt that we've seen the last of Jasmine Crockett when it comes to politics.
