Mr. Schumer Goes To Washington To Filibuster - But He's No Jimmy Stewart: What The Wall Street Journal Gets Wrong About The Talking Filibuster

The talking filibuster has been a tool in the Senate’s arsenal for 200 years. Returning to it could unlock the majesty of the institution.

The Senate rules provide two ways to break a filibuster. The first is the mechanical way, by invoking cloture (the Senate’s term for ending debate), which requires 60 votes. The second, which has existed within the Senate’s rules since its inception, is by making senators talk - the “talking filibuster”.

Americans want to see the Senate rise to the level of their expectations: to tangle with hard questions and deliberate with skill and strategy. The “talking filibuster” has been a tool in the Senate’s arsenal for 200 years, and returning to it could unlock the majesty of the institution, which has for too long been dormant and increasingly irrelevant.

Democrats Say Photo ID “Suppress The Vote”

Democrats Say Photo ID “Suppress The Vote” California Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) says photo ID will “Suppress The Vote” despite most voters supporting it

Democratic lawmakers are opposing the Republican-led Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which passed the House of Representatives last year and requires proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.

Schiff said he opposes a compromise of requiring photo ID to vote in United States elections, describing the “SAVE ACT” as a “voter suppression law”.

“It’s still going to be something that disenfranchises people that don’t have the proper Real ID, driver’s license ID, that don’t have the ID necessary to vote, even though they are citizens”...“, while they’re trying to do away with being able to register to vote through the DMV or by the mail.”

Why It Matters - What Could Possibly Go Wrong With This? Schiff is telling us Democrats want Illegals, Felons and even the Dead to vote using Mail-In Ballots or even In Person without proof of Citizenship, Address or the Person voting is who they say they are.

This could be expanded to Peoples in foreign countries, enemies of the state, or fictitious characters to assure a win in elections.Washington Examiner

Democrats Hate Anyone Who Doesn’t Love Crime And Fraud As Much As They Do — Even Leftists

In Los Angeles, elected City Controller Kenneth Mejia has unearthed significant social services fraud and waste and is pushing to fund more investigators - without success - so he can dig deeper.

Mejia is way left, a high-octane Bernie bro who ostensibly “left” the Democrat Party in 2024.

He has at times identified with the Green Party, apparently because the Democrats were much too far to the right for him. But Mejia is also a certified public accountant and a true believer in leftist social intervention, and he takes it personally when people steal from government programs that are supposed to help the poor.

Mejia’s investigators are the reason a homeless services contractor in Los Angeles is awaiting trial on a massive list of state and federal felony charges for fraud.The Federalist

Justice Kavanaugh: Trump Obviously Has Tariff Power And Here’s How He Can Keep Using It

Supreme Court Of The United States (SCOTUS): The SCOTUS Taketh Away and The SCOTUS Giveth: Justice Kavanaugh: Trump Obviously Has Tariff Power And Here’s How He Can Keep Using It

The U.S. Supreme Court may have ruled against President Trump’s use of an emergency economics law to impose tariffs on foreign countries, but that doesn’t mean the president is left without other measures he can pursue to implement them.

Associate Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito strenuously disagreed with the majority.

Justice Kavanaugh provided a thorough explainer of how the law’s text, “longstanding historical practice, and relevant Supreme Court precedents” favor the president. Equally significant, however, is the justice’s note clarifying that the majority’s opinion “might not substantially constrain a President’s ability to order tariffs going forward.”

It's The Law: FOUR Of The Best Lines From Justice Kavanaugh’s Masterclass Defense Of Trump’s Tariff Power

“As they interpret the statute, the President could, for example, block all imports from China but cannot order even a $1 tariff on goods imported from China. That approach does not make much sense.”

• “The Answer Is Clearly Yes”

• “There Is No Good Answer”

• “Heads in the Sand”

• “That Approach Does Not Make Much Sense”

It is clear Congress can not even pass a budget, much less a budget on time, much less a balanced budget without massive fraud and/or abuse, therefore how can Congress be expected to run a Government in a timely, reasonable or expected manner if at all.The Federalist

O’Keefe asked: “Where or when does the President believe he has been falsely called racist?”

American Olympians

Getting the opportunity to represent one’s country in the Olympics is an incredible honor for any athlete. Sadly, some of this year’s American competitors don’t seem to fully appreciate that point.

Throughout the first week of the 2026 Winter Olympics, several U.S. athletes have happily taken the bait from left-wing “journalists” seeking to get these Americans to trash their nation - and President Trump - on the world stage. Many of the comments thus far have specifically been focused on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its efforts to deport foreign nationals illegally residing in the United States.

On January 19, a D.C. Water sewer pipe burst ahead of a major winter storm, compared to “Old Faithful” sending hundreds of millions of gallons of untreated sewage launched sewage feet into the air - collected from homes and businesses in the Maryland and Virginia suburbs - into the Potomac River, triggering not only a foul smell and unspeakable solids, but levels for bacteria such as e. coli soaring to 4,000 times above safe levels for recreational use.

A month later, concerns remain and questions have arisen as to D.C. Water’s grasp of the situation and basic transparency. And with a major waterway in the greater Washington, D.C. area serving as both a source of drinking water and the backdrop to major events celebrating America’s 250th birthday, one would think story would merit national attention.

However, Major Broadcast Networks Democratic leaning ABC, CBS, and NBC refuse to mention it on their Flagship Broadcast Network Morning or Evening Shows.

WINTER OLYMPICS PENISGATE

MILAN WINTER OLYMPICS PENISGATE: Skiers face 3D scanning of their crotches to make sure their uniforms haven't been distorted to become “Human Gliders”

“Penisgate” saga took a surreal hold on the Games in Milan-Cortina, with unsubstantiated claims emerging that male ski jumpers have resorted to injecting hyaluronic acid into their genitals to gain a competitive advantage.

To ensure suits have a tolerance for a male's crotch height, when undergoing a 3D scan, athletes must only wear “Body-Tight Underwear”, as their crotch height is also measured to determine the size of their competitive suit.

This is to prevent athletes from tampering with their suits to gain an advantage.

The Bigger The Bulge, The Further They Fly: Scientific studies suggest that any increase in the surface area of a skinsuit can effectively turn the jumper into a human glider.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Threatens To Shut Down Government So Republicans Can’t Stop Noncitizen Aliens From Voting

New York's Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wrote in a post on X: “The ‘SAVE ACT’ is nothing more than Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise millions of ‘Americans’. Every single Senate Democrat will vote against any bill that contains it. Speaker Johnson should tell ‘SAVE ACT’ Republicans to stand down or else this shutdown will be on them.”

In Reality - The Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act would amend the 1993 National Voter Registration Act to require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.

While noncitizen voting is already illegal, current federal law is largely toothless. Prospective voters merely check a tiny square box on a federal voter registration form attesting under penalty of perjury that they are a citizen. Such an insecure system has led to thousands of noncitizens to either register to vote or even vote.
