Senate Democrats Block GOP Proposal for Extra $250 Billion in Small Business Aid
Remember this.. The Democrats in the Senate held up this emergency funding for small businesses because they wanted to tag additional things onto it. It was a “clean bill,” which means it was just about small business emergency funding; nothing else. Under normal circumstances, the Dems would go for this. But, given the current crisis we’re in, they don’t want to miss the chance to add all sorts of other unrelated liberal agenda nonsense. So, until they get their political “porn” (as Sen. John Kennedy calls it) added to the bill, they’re gonna hold it up. Small businesses employ more than 40% of the American workforce and are in dire need of financial help right now. Again, remember this…especially if you own, or work for, a small business.
Former Sen. Tom Coburn dies after years-long cancer battle
Was very sorry to hear of former Sen. Tom Coburn’s (R-OK) passing. For those of us who are nauseated by the grotesque wasteful spending by Congress on ridiculous nonsense that we, the taxpayers, are forced to pay for.. Tom was a nothing short of a hero. He was an unwavering warrior fighting that crap, His successor, Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) at least for a while took up the mantle of writing the annual “Wastebook” that Tom put out every year cataloging all of the horrendous, and unconstitutional, expenditures in Congress, again, that you and I were stuck with the bill for. Of course, given the current paradigm, that probably is on the back burner. But, once we get back to some sense of normalcy, we hope Sen. Lankford, or someone else in the Senate or House, will take up that mission. Our prayers go out to Carolyn and his daughters and the rest of the Coburn family during this tough time. Thanks for all you did, for all of us, Tom. R.I.P.
Senate Unanimously Passes Historic Coronavirus Relief Package
Think about this.. The vote was 96-0 in the Senate! What a credit to Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) leadership. Great job Mitch!! Now, the bill is back to the House where Nancy Pelosi, who can’t spell the word leadership and doesn’t give a damn about American workers, will dilly dally and drag this thing out, while Americans are suffering. Hopefully, she’ll can get off her pompous ass tonight, or tomorrow latest, and get this thing passed in her chamber, and get it to President Trump’s desk for his signature.
Sen. Chuck Schumer Hit with Ethics Complaints for Threat to SCOTUS Justices
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is FINALLY being called to the carpet for his outrageous, and WAY over-the-top threatening remarks he made on the steps of the Supreme Court while they were literally in session. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) is absolutely right in calling for him to be censured by the Senate, and we support his efforts and call on more Senate Republicans to sign on to his motion. That’s the very least that happen from the Senate’s side. And, hopefully these complaints to the NY state Bar and elsewhere will bear fruit. Most in D.C. have grown accustomed to Chuck’s obnoxious grandstanding, and accept him for what he is; a duplicitous, hypocritical, self-serving, arrogant, obnoxious, extremely liberal, elitist blowhard who loves to talk down to the rest of us peasants over his reading glasses. But, this time he crossed a line, and needs to be held to account. As was mentioned in the article, he is a Harvard-educated attorney, and has been in politics for a VERY long time. What he said on those steps he was reading…and he knew EXACTLY what he was saying. So, the Senate, and the NY State Bar shouldn’t accept his bs and spin as he tries to dance around it. He needs to be formally held to account and made and example of. If you agree, the email BOTH of your U.S. Senators, and tell them you want Chuck to be censured.
Senate confirms William Barr as attorney general
Senate Rebukes Harris and Hirono on Knights of Columbus
Lindsey Graham elected Senate Judiciary Committee chairman
Arizona Governor Expected to Appoint Jon Kyl as McCain’s Replacement
Sen. Kyl (R-AZ) is a wise/prudent choice to serve out the reminder of the late Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) term.
Chuck Schumer votes against Trump judicial nominee…because he’s white
And who, exactly is the real racist here? Exactly… Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is notorious for shamelessly playing the race card. Looks like it may have backfired just a little this time.. Regardless, another very qualified Trump nominee has been confirmed, despite the outrageous, hypocritical, and offensive political posturing by Chuck Schumer. Congrats to this new judge!
