Oh Congressional Conservatives, what have you done?

 The world is aflame, with terror attacks against Israel in the Middle East.  Antisemitism is on the rise across the US and our troops are being attacked overseas by Iranian proxies.  The Biden Administration is still planning on giving the Iranian Government billions of dollars, which will allow them to continue to fund terror.  The US economy teeters day to day on the news and people a fleeing to gold to protect their money.  The US government is weeks away from shutting down when the Continuing Resolution expires.   And the US House of Representatives was paralyzed because a small group of conservative Republican members, in a snit, voted out the Speaker of the House. Speaker McCarthy did something some members didn't like - he kept the Government running to give the House time to vote on a budget.  For that a small group of Conservatives decided Speaker McCarthy must go.  Okay, what was the plan after that?  They didn't have one.

Yes Jen Psaki, there is a "Woke" and people do know what it is.

Jen Psaki says Democrats have nothing to worry about in the next election because Republicans talk about "Woke" don't really know what "Woke" is or means.  On her new MSNBC show, Ms. Psaki cherry picked a handful of segments, very likely taken out of context, of people struggling to define woke to prove her point.  But I think we do know what woke is.  We see and hear the holier than thou, arrogant, we're never wrong and the evidence be damned attitude of progressives on a variety of subjects every day.   Woke encompasses a variety of subjects.  It includes the alphabet soup of DEI, CRT, ESG, LGBTQIA+.

Trump vs. Biden - the Document Wars

Biden's document scandal is worse than Trumps.  Let me define "worse" for the purpose of this discussion. Worse means President Biden's document handling should be viewed as a greater risk to national security and closer to a violation of the law than President Trump's.  That said I think the Hilary Clinton precedent is such that neither should be prosecuted for their actions. Let's start with where the documents were found.  The documents in President Trump's possession were found at Trump's Mar-a-Lago home and in a Florida storage unit.  The documents in President Biden's possession were found in locked garage, with his Corvette, at his Wilmington home, and in a locked closet at his former office at the University of Pennsylvania.  Let's compare those. President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home is secured by the United States Secret Service, along with any other private security measures that come with a secluded location like that.  The Florida s
