Those we rely on to govern this nation

 

Politicians are getting older – shutting young people out of decision-making around the world  

A big barrier for young candidates is their lack of experience. But, with selection processes that favour incumbency, there is, all too often, little space for parliamentary turnover. Moreover, many assemblies around the world have a culture of seniority in which youth struggle to be noticed.

 Do you think Chuck Schumer is incompetent?

On the flip side of the coin you have Chuck Schumer. It seems he constantly misreads the room, can’t persuade or arm twist, and generally makes democrats look bad in the senate. There are very effective leaders in the senate such as Mitch McConnell. There have been masters of the senate such as LBJ. Chuck Schumer just doesn’t seem to be even close. Quite honestly he is the weakest link in the Democratic chain right now IMO. Do you think he is incompetent?

Press room: the times they are changing

 

White House Receives over 10k Submissions for ‘New Media Seat’ Credentials

“As I said in my opening statement, Matt, it is a priority of this White House to honor the First Amendment,” Leavitt told Boyle in response to his question asking her to expand upon the White House’s effort to bring in more voices. “And it is a fact that Americans are consuming their news media from various different platforms, especially young people. And as the youngest press secretary in history, thanks to President Trump, I take great pride in opening up this room to new media voices to share the President’s message with as many Americans as possible.”

John Ashbrook of the Ruthless Podcast was in the new media seat on Friday and received the first question of the briefing.

She just CAUGHT the Democrats. 

"Every single Democrat that was on that stage should be placed on a list for the next round of auditing! They are the ones who are authorizing all that money to be sent to their friends and family members, lining their own pockets and screwing all of us!!" . . .

Karoline Leavitt Chides Clueless Dems for Inciting Violence: ‘They Should Be Held Accountable’

Having been given the dog whistle call to arms, Jeffries' colleagues promptly called for a violent uprising. And they did so repeatedly.

Congress’ most woke race warrior, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), warned Republicans that they "are gonna be in yo face and "on your a**es!"

. . ."Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) gave a wink and a nod to arsonists, warning Republicans that "if you do not see the light, we will bring the fire.”

"We all know what far-left activists in the streets are capable of with fire." . . .

Schumer clenches his little fists with Mad Maxine Waters and they chant!

Trump also took away security clearance from 51 people who lied to interfere in the 2020 election and infected the U.S. with a president who screwed up for four straight years, with the help of compliant media and other Democrats who worked so hard to hide the truth about how incompetent Biden was and that he obviously was being controlled.  

‘Just So Depressing’: Ex-House Democrat Shreds His Party’s Leadership Over Viral Chuck Schumer Clip - NewsBreak  "How pathetic! What are democrats afraid of ? That Musk will find a lot of hands in the cookie jar?"

"From Yahoo News:

Weighing in on the Trump administration’s actions of the past week, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he didn’t know President Trump would “screw up so soon.”

The comment, published Monday by Semafor, followed an issued-then-rescinded Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memo that called for a federal loan and grant pause, which caused a political uproar, and the weekend announcement of weighty tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, which also resulted in mass frustration.

“There’s a long way to go. This is going to be a pattern,” he added.

"On Monday, the U.S. manufacturing index showed that manufacturing is growing for the first time in sixteen months.  I would say that is not screwing up. 

"Crude oil is down around 10% since the week before Trump took office.  That sounds like a win.  Lowering energy prices, cutting regulations, and closing borders along with cutting government spending are great ways to lower inflation. 

"Schumer says it is screwing up to look at government spending to see if taxpayers’ money is being properly spent.  The fact that the media, Schumer, and other Democrats call that screwing up is why we are $36 trillion in debt and why we had a $2-trillion deficit last year.  That is what you get when I.G.s are not looking for waste, fraud, and abuse, which is their job. 

"Border crossings are down 93% since Trump took office.  That is obviously a big win. 

"And then he said the tariffs are causing great damage.  What tariffs?  So far, tariff threats have caused Colombia, Canada, and Mexico to cave to Trump's demands.  Those are big wins, and they haven't cost consumers a dime. 

"And Trump sent Ric Grenell to Venezuela, and we got prisoners back for nothing, and they will take their criminals back.  Another huge win. 

"I would say highlighting the fact that Obama and Biden focused on anything but merit for air traffic controllers was also a big win for safety. 

"Trump also took out a terrorist in Somalia." . . .

Brendan O'Neill: The West Went Insane After October 7

Reason.com

Brendan O’Neill discusses his new book, "After the Pogrom: 7 October, Israel and the Crisis of Civilisation".   "Hamas is a Jew-killing machine...not a liberation movement"                           

"Campus concern for Palestine is largely a moral fad, or the latest sub-fad in the whole "social justice" moral fad. Adolescents, especially girls, are vulnerable to social contagion. That's pretty much it. They find out what they're supposed to be for or against this week, and a few even learn to reel off a few lines about why."
