"Well of course we said no! I'm not going to vote for that. My mother didn't raise a fool. And as I've said before if she did, it was one of my brothers!' "

"It's at a time like this that we're reminded that Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) is a treasure, and needs to be protected at all costs. During Day 3 of the slog known as Schumer Shutdown, the loquacious and often funny lawmaker took to the Senate floor for some remarks.

"He of course was on fire over the Democrats' reckless stunt driving escapade, which has left the government shuttered for a third straight day, and likely to remain so through the weekend after Friday's failed vote in the U.S. Senate by the same tally as Wednesday's. The Dems, as my colleague Susie Moore noted, do not seem to be taking things seriously, based on their behavior.

"That “congresswoman,” of course, is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who, according to Kennedy, went ballistic when Trump and congressional Republicans started cutting some of the more absurd Biden-era spending priorities.

"Kennedy didn’t hold back as he read aloud what Democrats are fighting to restore. “We found that under President Biden, they were spending $3 million for circumcisions and vasectomies in Zambia,” he said. “We took that out. The congresswoman says, ‘We’re gonna shut down government until you put that back in.’”

"And that was just the beginning." . . .
