The filibuster boils down to this: it’s a lazy politician’s dream tool for pretending to fight while actually dodging responsibility, all while keeping their cushy jobs safe.
Here’s how it benefits the bums in the Senate:
1. Obstruction without accountability
A senator can kill a bill by threatening a filibuster (or just talking forever) without ever casting a public vote. No record, no blame. They can tell their base, “I fought for you!” while secretly letting the bill die to appease donors or avoid a tough decision.
2. Protects do-nothing incumbents
The filibuster makes gridlock the default. When nothing gets passed, voters blame “Washington” or “the other party,” not the specific senators who blocked everything. Incumbents coast to re-election by fundraising off the chaos they helped create.
3. Forces minority rule, which rewards extremism
41 senators (representing as little as ~11% of the population) can halt anything. This empowers fringe voices who fundraise by being loud, not effective. The “bum” who screams on cable news gets more donations than the one quietly negotiating.
4. Turns legislation into a hostage crisis
To pass anything, you need 60 votes or a convoluted workaround (like budget reconciliation). This gives every random senator leverage to demand pork, favors, or policy carve-outs. The more ineffective you are at governing, the more power you wield in the chaos.
5. Keeps the gravy train rolling
Gridlock = endless campaign fodder. “If you elect more of us, we’ll finally fix things!” Meanwhile, senators rake in donations from lobbyists who love inaction (e.g., industries dodging regulation). The filibuster ensures the status quo—and their paychecks—stay safe.
In short: The filibuster isn’t about principle or “deliberation.” It’s a devious shield for senators to look busy, avoid hard votes, and cling to power while the country stagnates. The biggest winners? The ones who’d be voted out if they ever had to actually govern.
This guy is a disgraceful liar.
First, they offer no evidence to try to block 20,000 ballots from being counted. Now, the Trump Administration is threatening California election officials with criminal investigations without any legal basis.
The Constitution gives states the authority to administer elections — not Donald Trump. California won’t be bullied, and every eligible voter has the right to vote and have their vote counted.
Click Bait.
I recently heard this story. Thoughts?
“I tipped $7 on a $120 takeout order.
The cashier looked at the screen, then looked directly at me.
“Only $7?”
I thought she was joking. “Yes, $7.”
She called her manager over.
He looked at me and said, “If you can afford to spend $120 on food, you can afford to leave a 20% tip.”
I calmly replied, “I thought tipping was optional.”
He said, “Then we have the right to refuse you service.”
There were people standing behind me, listening to the entire conversation. Suddenly, I felt like I was being publicly shamed for not giving enough money.
So I made a decision.
I cancelled the entire $120 order, asked for my money back, and walked out.
I had no problem leaving a tip. I had a problem with being told how much I was morally obligated to give, especially when I was picking up takeout rather than receiving full table service.
A tip is supposed to be a gesture of appreciation, not a payment demanded through guilt or public humiliation.
If businesses believe workers deserve better pay, shouldn't that responsibility fall primarily on the employer rather than the customer?
But now I'm curious…
Was cancelling the entire order justified, or was a $7 tip on an $120 takeout order actually cheap?
I want to hear both sides.”
The State of California has been controlled by the Democratic Party for over 25 years. 👇🏼
This is your reminder that California turned a $33 billion bullet train project into a $231 billion open ended hole with no working track after 25 years.
They never selected a company to make the trains, ran a $7 billion shortfall on the first segment, missed 9 federal grant conditions,
And then Newsom blamed Trump for it.
This is an in kind political contribution to the Democratic Party by CNN (free airtime to spread their lies). It’s 100% a political fabrication.
🚨 CNN IS IN FULL COPE MODE
They’re running wall-to-wall coverage about how “terrible” conditions are on the USS Abraham Lincoln… food shortages, hygiene issues, sailors supposedly jumping overboard.
Then Trump says a retired admiral and people actually on the ship told him it’s “beautifully maintained” and calls the reporting fake news.
Cue the dramatic music and concerned anchors.
CNN’s formula never changes:
- Push a bleak narrative
- Platform anonymous “concerns”
- Act shocked when the President doesn’t play along
Nine months at sea is tough. Pretending the entire ship is falling apart because Trump won’t validate your story is just another day at CNN.

Every Republican politician in Sacramento who isn’t screaming about this new tire scam should be primaried and run out of town.
The roads and politicians need to be replaced.
Not our tires.

Los Angeles teachers are patrolling the area around schools for ICE activity to warn illegals so they can evade ICE
They only reason they would do this is if @LASchools is full of illegals.
.@ICEgov should definitely visit LA Schools.
Why are we paying for illegals’ education?!

So Democrats feel the need to apologize for someone supposedly “stealing” other people’s property hundreds of years ago, but their entire platform today is based on stealing other people’s property.

Democrats are the Party of Unity.
They have finally brought the Communists and Nazis together as one!

Here are four things every serious anti-communist should understand about Marxism:
First, Marxism is not primarily a set of economic policies. It is a complete philosophical system built on the claim that private property and markets are the root causes of human oppression and alienation. This is why communist regimes did not simply make economic mistakes - they systematically tried to abolish the foundations of voluntary cooperation.
Second, Marxism focuses heavily on social structures and class forces while leaving very little room for individual choice and moral responsibility. Individuals are treated largely as products of their class position rather than as autonomous agents capable of shaping their own lives. This deterministic outlook underpins both Marxism’s repeated predictive failures and its readiness to justify coercive social engineering.
Third, the authoritarianism, terror, and centralised control seen in every communist state were not distortions of Marxism. They were logical consequences of attempting to impose a total transformation of society (and Mark understood that). Once private property and markets are rejected, coercive state power becomes necessary to enforce the new order.
Fourth, Marxism has never died. It has mutated. Much of today’s identity politics, critical theory, and institutional “equity” activism draws directly from Marxist frameworks - simply replacing economic class with race, gender or other identity categories while retaining the same oppressor-versus-oppressed logic.

If Justice Gorsuch has his way with birthright citizenship, then over one million anchor babies, currently living in China, will enter the United States are spies with the same citizenship rights as you and me. How can this be called anything other than treason?

This Day (May 10) in 1994, Yasser Arafat admitted the “peace process” was a farce.
Just months after shaking Yitzhak Rabin’s hand on the White House lawn, Arafat stood in a mosque in Johannesburg & told the truth — in Arabic, to a Muslim audience, when he thought the West wasn’t listening.
He openly declared the Oslo “peace” agreement was nothing more than a “tactical step” — a temporary truce, exactly like the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah that Muhammad used before conquering Mecca.
He then called for “jihad to liberate Jerusalem.”
This was not a slip of the tongue. This was the real Arafat when speaking in Arabic to a non-Western audience.
From the moment he founded Fatah in the late 1950s, Arafat was a terrorist and a liar. His career was built on murder: plane hijackings, embassy sieges, the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics, the Coastal Road massacre, the Achille Lauro hijacking, school bus bombings, and endless suicide attacks.
The world desperately wanted to believe that giving him legitimacy, billions in aid, weapons, and territory would turn him into a statesman. Instead, it simply gave one of the 20th century’s most prolific terrorists a sovereign base, international respectability, and vast sums of money to enrich himself and his cronies.
While Arafat played the peacemaker in English, he continued inciting, funding, and glorifying terror in Arabic. He rejected Ehud Barak’s offer of a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital at Camp David in 2000 — then launched the Second Intifada, the bloodiest terror war Israel had ever seen.
He was never interested in building a state. He was only interested in destroying the Jewish one — by terror, diplomacy, lying to/ideologically capturing the West, demographics, whatever worked.
Arafat died a billionaire while his people remained in poverty, their suffering weaponized as propaganda. He was a cold-blooded murderer, a pathological liar, and a world-class kleptocrat to the very end.
The Johannesburg speech was the real Yasser Arafat, and the West just kept looking the other way.

The NY Post has published my column on the Virginia Supreme Court's decision on gerrymandering. nypost.com/2026/05/08/opinio… The resulting faceplant is nothing short of legendary: Gov. Spanberger and the Virginia Democrats have succeeded in alienating half of the state.

Donald Trump should withdraw and Mike Pence should be our nominee effective immediately.
