The Latest Proposal

Posted on by

On Friday, Senator Schumer offered to open the government if the Republicans would agree to his demands. That is not exactly what he said, but that is the essence of it–I will release the hostages if you will give me what I want. That’s hardly a reasonable request.

On Friday, Red State posted an article that included Senator Kennedy from Louisiana’s response.

The article reports:

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) had a savage response to his fellow Democrat leader, Sen. Chuck Schumer (NY), offering to reopen the government, and said it involves needing “bail money” if God were to give him strength rather than patience after hearing it.

On Friday, Schumer announced his proposal, in which he said that he and his Democrat colleagues would agree to reopen the government if, and only if, the Republicans extended COVID-19-era Obama-care subsidies for another year, and then they could sit down to negotiate with the GOP to deal with healthcare costs.

…”What Senator Schumer is suggesting is that we do the dumbest thing possible that won’t work. Stupid should hurt more.” “[Schumer’s proposal] means we would have to take $35B of taxpayer money and give it directly to health insurance companies without any commitment of lowering premiums.”

The article concludes:

“I’ve voted more than a dozen times to fund the government—but many politicians are too scared of pressure from socialists to do the right thing,” Kennedy wrote. “I think a missing paycheck would make them grow a spine.”

Kennedy might be right that when Democrats see zero paychecks, like Air Traffic Controllers have experienced, they might snap out of this insanity.

Senator Kennedy has proposed a law that Congress would not get paid while the government is shut down. Good idea.

Quote Of The Day

You can always count on Senator Kennedy from Louisiana for a good quote.

On Tuesday, Red State quoted Senator Kennedy who was sharing his advice to the Democrat Party:

“Look, you just gotta try harder not to suck,” said Kennedy. 

Kennedy elaborated, saying that Democrats spent the past four years mismanaging everything they were put in charge of, including congress, the pandemic, the economy, Afghanistan, and more. Now, with Trump and Musk ripping through the government to trim away the fat and corruption, they’re going out of their way to side with bureaucracy. 

This is one of those losing “80/20” positions Scott Jennings talked about a while back, but Democrats can’t stop themselves from automatically taking the opposite position that Trump is at every turn. 

Kennedy continues by noting the Democrat Party’s support for illegal immigration and transgendered people in women’s sports, and sympathize with Hamas, which are just more 80/20 positions Democrats can’t seem to stop advocating for. 

“The party is being controlled, right now, by people who majored in online activism with a minor in puberty blockers,” said Kennedy. “I know these people. They think men can breastfeed!” 

“Most fair-minded Americans look at this, and they go, ‘these people are about ten exits past normal!” he added. 

It’s hard to believe the Democrats are fighting to keep the corruption in Washington going.

Pay Attention To Who Is Screaming The Loudest

President Trump and Elon Musk have certainly shaken things up in Washington. You would think everyone would get on board with cleaning up fraud and waste in the government and cutting spending. It kind of makes you wonder why anyone would oppose those things. Well, we are starting to find out why.

On Wednesday, Hot Air posted an article about one group who is opposed to all of the sunlight currently shining on government expenses. I know that this is an incredible coincidence, but one of the groups opposed to looking into and cutting the spending has received a lot of money from the government agency doing the spending.

The article reports:

It might be easier to keep a list of who in the Establishment DOESN’T get USAID funding than those who do. 

As everybody in the Elite screams from the top of their lungs about the injustice of it all, it turns out that cuts to USAID are so offensive to them because USAID is nothing but a piggy bank for every damn one of them. 

The article includes the following:

That might explain the following:

The article notes:
Senator Kennedy, who can always be counted on for interesting comments, is quoted on X:
The article concludes:

I want to see where every dollar goes. Every self-righteous organization, by complaining, is outing itself as yet another grifter that subsists off the hard work of the people they are working to suppress.

This is a war between the Establishment and the people. Nothing less.

Stay tuned and get out the popcorn!

Quotes Of The Week

I can always depend on Senator Kennedy of Louisiana to provide some good quotes. On January 29, The Media Research Center posted a few:

Kennedy warned that the U.S. is “headed for a multiple-vehicle pileup” caused by the mutually essential needs to extend the tax cuts enacted during President Donald Trump’s first term while also cutting federal government spending.

If the Trump tax cuts aren’t extended, taxes will go up by $4.3 trillion, with 60% of the increase hitting middle class and lower income Americans, Kennedy cautioned.

Meanwhile, the U.S. national debt has topped $36 trillion, or $102,000 per citizen, the senator noted, stressing the need to spur economic growth.

“I don’t want to blame it all on President Biden, but, if the shoe fits, wear it, Cinderella,” Kennedy said, regarding the nation’s unprecedented debt fueled by wanton spending.

The article concludes:

“So, I hope all the folks today will go home and take off their Batman t-shirts, wash them [because they’re] probably a little sweaty.

“I hope everybody will go home – those who drink, have a cocktail – take their meds and put this all in perspective. That’s what that OMB memorandum (on excessive spending) was all about.”

Kennedy then closed with his vehicular warning:

“If you don’t believe we’re going to have to cut spending substantially, then you shouldn’t be driving.”

He is right. If we don’t cut spending, we will totally tank our economy.
