Jasmine Crockett: ' They’ll Blame Democrats '

Tell us, Jasmine, how you feel about the shutdown ?

It's the same mental affliction that Warren suffers from, a reversal of reality, inversion of truth, likely due to an injury before birth, drug use, alcohol abuse, physical trauma.
No doubt the reason for her years walking the stroll on Bissonette in Houston, strolling after midnight, ' Sure, I give good head Mr. '
' Not in my wig Mr. '
' Unngghh ! '

Derangement Syndrome blatantly displayed, totally out of their minds, making true what is a lie, schoolyard Suzy: ' You are so too a poo poo ! '

It's an iQ deficit, sub morons making legal arguments without a clue.
' It's so pathetic ! '
The people have rejected Biden_Joe's legacy, too limp, too corrupt, too Commie.
Not for sixty years will the Dempartie_Nazi_Hamas_Communists contest a Presidential election, Kamala having blown any chances in the foreseeable future,
$1.7 B to suck large, not a workable investment, money for nothing more than fake noise.
Fake noise, what Crockett produces, distinctly opposite to reality, a psychotic hallucination, the drugs no doubt, meth-head madness.

RON HART: Notice Anything Different About Schumer’s Government Shutdown? Exactly.


The Democrats cry about the consequence of the government shutdown they orchestrated. Tens of thousands of government workers have been thrown out of their jobs and are not working. It shut down the CDC, NIH, Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and the IRS. Ok, I am going to stop you right there. You did not have to sell me; I am good with it.

Many Americans are like me: I am more worried about government starting back up than shutting down. The only thing annoying about a government shutdown is how giddy Senator Rand Paul and I get.

When they are closed, the Feds cannot meddle and rack up trillions in debt ($37 trillion and counting), which could result in delaying the bankruptcy of our country. And the government cannot get us into trillion-dollar wars of choice if it is shut down.

There will be collateral damage. If the government stays shut down much longer, the drug companies will have to lay off 50 U.S. senators.

Think about the federal government versus local governments and what each provides. We get most of what we need from local government: police, libraries, roads, schools, fire, trash pickup, EMS, hospitals etc.

And most local governments balance their budgets and only ask about 6% from us. The feds tax us up to 40% and do little for us other than national defense (or “War” now). And they run a $ trillion a year deficit. (RELATED: Schumer-Linked Group Reportedly Tells Democrats To Gear Up For Long-Term Shutdown)

Dems, face it, Schumer shut down government because AOC is challenging him for Senate leadership from the left. If she gets his seat, first I suggest she Lysol it really well. Schumer has been in the Senate a long time, to way back when he did not have hair.

For the Pelosi and Schumer types, I have a rule; you can only be in Washington for two facelifts.

And who cares if obscure and intrusive agencies shut down? Even NASA being shut is fine. NASA has spent trillions and has not done anything for us since Tang. Musk has run laps around them in space exploration. Let the private sector handle more. If anything can be found in the Yellow Pages, government does not need to do it. Most of NASA is shut down, including the division that we pay to monitor to see if aliens in outer space are trying to contact us. I trust they put their “Out of Office” message on their email before they went home, in case aliens do contact us.

It is fun to watch the political theater around this shutdown. Dems cry crocodile tears over non-essential employees furloughed in agencies they have never heard of that do nothing for us.

Who will send our tax dollars to fund $3.6 million for pastry-cooking classes and “dance focus groups” for male prostitutes in Haiti? $4.2 million for LGBTQ+ in Uganda and the Balkans. $3 million for circumcisions in Zambia. And $3 million to put Sesame Street in Iraq. All of the above are actual pet Democrat spending items.

Of course, our U.S. Senators and Congresspeople get paid. They are protected under the Americans with No Abilities Act.

Two things become clear during a government shutdown: how little we need most of government and how petulant public servants can be when they do not get their funding.

Under Obama, there was a lot of petty government intimidation. Remember how he hired extra people to make sure our open-air national parks were kept shut so citizens could not just walk through them? They locked the bathrooms at Yellowstone, thinking that men could not possibly go potty in the National Parks we pay for without government support and approval.

Government shutdowns have become a well-worn path of a dysfunctional Washington. They have the financial planning skills of an Ole Miss frat boy. It is like Schumer and Pelosi/Jeffries are walking the marble halls of the Capitol. Twenty feet ahead of them they see a banana peel. They say in unison, “Here we go again.”

It comes down to who blinks first. Pelosi, in the day, never blinked, mostly because of so much Botox. She would always stand firm until Republicans met her demands or she captured all 101 Dalmatians. Today’s shutdown is all about New York area reps Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer worrying about the crazy left flank of their party primarying them.

Anyway, I have not missed any of our government so far. Maybe we fire them all and hire back what we miss?

If not, let me know when they have the Panda camera back up and running at the Washington Zoo.

Thanks for sharing the Lankford video. I saw it earlier today and was going to post it here, but had plans this AM.

The hypocrisy from our political Left is truly telling about their addiction to power, even at the expense of the American citizen.

I'm surprised Chuck Schumer is allowing this to go on for so long.

That's sarcasm, right?

From the article...

"Schumer shut down government because AOC is challenging him for Senate leadership from the left."

I don't claim to have a clue about politics in New York, other than what the media allows me to hear, but this kind of makes sense.

No, I mean... I understand some of the liberal rags are polling and showing they blame Trump, but it's all in how the questions are asked. But at some point, they're going to be upset with Schumer for allowing stuff to happen. The second Trump starts arbitrarily axing Federal employees (which he would legally have the authority to do), it becomes effectively irreversible. Will they then quickly then sign a CR?

He's honestly pretty embarassed about it, but it's the reality of NY politics now. Most centrist Democrats that had any kind of financial means whatsoever have already left New York. All Republicans that could have, have also left New York. Florida now has more billionaires than NY (as of last month). New York's politics are basically this... radical leftist or anything else. Schumer is trying to appeal to the "Democrat base" in New York, which... unfortunately, is actually radical leftist.
