    Tennessee Insurrection

    Just to add a broader perspective to this situation, let's not forget what started all this. Six people were killed by a mentally ill transgender shooter at a Christian school in Nashville. The three activist legislators voted AGAINST a proposed law that provides funding for school resource...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    In retrospect they probably would have been expelled, regardless of race. Remember, the debate was about gun control which is overwhelmingly opposed in Tennessee. To lead a disruptive demonstration from the House floor in favor of this issue would get the same result. Liberals have gained a...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    That's west of Nashville and close to Mississippi where they had some bad storms and tornadoes in the flat areas of the state. Eastern TN has more hills and mountains that break up this type of weather, but we still had unusually high winds Friday and Saturday.

    Tennessee Insurrection

    The long game is what these guys were playing. They turned the House floor debate into a show about themselves and their self aggrandizement under the guise of a gun control debate. The six lives lost at the Christian school were completely forgotten. They're both agitators and "community...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    Party line votes are certainly not unprecedented, especially with the degree of political division that's developed in our country. What is unprecedented is members disrupting the function of the state legislature with bullhorns from the well and agitating the crowd of protesters in the gallery...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    Johnson is 60 years old, and stood by in support, and because of their actions compared to hers. They are recently elected freshmen in the House and acted like freshmen in college leading a street protest, shouting from a bullhorn in the well of the TN State House. This kind of behavior should...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    They did not commit the exact same offense. Johnson did not verbally or physically disrupt House proceedings. She just stood by in support of the two agitators who used a bullhorn to lead chants from the well of the House floor. Still, she was one vote short of being expelled. That's because...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    The expulsion of these two disruptive individuals in not only appropriate, but also constructive because it sets an example for the current and future House members that blatant disregard and violation of rules that are necessary for our legislative system to work will not be tolerated. To have...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    Wonder how long it will take for somebody to make an issue of the older, white female representative being the only one not expelled, missing the boot by a single vote? Never mind the fact that the two black guys were the primary disruptors. If Jan 6 rules had been followed she should've been...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    The TN House is voting today to expel three Democrat representatives who participated in a near-riot gun control demonstration at the capitol building last Thursday, and disrupted House proceedings from the floor by using bullhorns to lead chants of demonstrators who were in the gallery. This...

    The Trump Card...

    Finally, the Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are getting serious: "Jordan in his subpoena cover letter referenced correspondence on March 25 from Bragg to Pomerantz, which Breitbart News has reviewed, in which Bragg instructed Pomerantz, a private citizen, not to provide Congress...

    Death by DeSantis

    This is an opinion piece by a liberal author in a liberal publication. We should expect similar hit pieces about any Republicans that the Democrats consider to be a strong candidate for POTUS in 2024 or beyond. The content bears no relation to the DeSantis book The Courage To Be Free, which was...

    The Trump Card...

    Numerous sources - even liberal ones - indicate he did turn over control to his sons, but it doesn’t matter because he wasn't legally required to. However, considering the demands of the presidency and the sheer number of businesses involved it would only make sense that he turn control over to...

    The Trump Card...

    It seems the pundits don't think adding Blanche is a big deal. Leaving his current law firm may have been related to his contract with them, but nobody's talking about it. Everybody's jumping to the conclusion that Trump made this decision himself on the spur of the moment, but big hitters like...

    The Trump Card...

    It doesn't work that way. Members of Congress have had a slush fund since 1998 that allows them to pay off sexual harassment claims and other bothersome workplace incidents with taxpayer dollars. What's more, these settlements are under seal, so voters don't get bad press if they're busted...

    The Trump Card...

    Probably. If Trump is tried before 12 Manhattan jurors, odds are that 10 of them voted for Biden. This will not be a jury of his peers. An argument could also be made for the recusal of the judge, who also sat on the case against the Trump organization. Then there's the AG prosecuting him who...

    The Trump Card...

    Another point about a gag order: will this silence the Democrats? How about the harpies on MSNBC? They'll be shouting to the rooftops about the details of the indictment. A gag order would be ignored by everyone except Trump, and he wouldn't have to say a thing about the case that everyone else...

    The Trump Card...

    Trump has already launched a campaign for president. How would the gag order effect that enterprise, his staffers and surrogates? How about Trump supporters in the media - especially social media? Any of these could serve as Trump's voice to make arguments about the indictment while he talks...

    Death by DeSantis

    All the pundits, pro and anti-Trump have been saying this NY indictment will seal the nomination for him before the primary gets into high gear. He'll be in the news every day, sucking all the oxygen out of the coverage and generating a sympathy vote that no other candidate can match. The...

    Kari Lake May Be On To Something

    Underneath the Trump indictment storm, more facts about the Maricopa County vote counting process are coming to light. Software was set to approve 90% of mail-in signature matches. Logic dictates that this can't be the only county in the US where this kind of malfeasance was going on...
