The liberal media protects its own, meaning the Democratic Party. Sitting New Jersey Democratic senator, Bob Menendez, is on trial for corruption charges related to bribing officials to pave the way for favors for a longtime associate, Saloman Melgen. Melgen has already been convicted for Medicare fraud, but Menendez is in trouble because he allegedly […]
The liberal media conveniently forgot that the Democratic Party was the first to use the “nuclear option” to ram through their agenda in the U.S. Senate. But, their headlines neglect to mention that, as you can see: New York Times: Senate Republicans Deploy ‘Nuclear Option‘ to Clear Path for Gorsuch Washington Post: Senate Republicans go ‘nuclear,’ […]
It’s interesting that the editorial boards for the Washington Post, Boston Globe and Chicago Tribune are not siding with the Democratic Party on holding fast on a Senate filibuster on the confirmation of Trump Supreme Court nominee Donald Trump. Instead, they are urging the Democrats to not filibuster over Gorsuch and to save political ammunition […]
The Washington Post editorial board criticized Senate Democrats for attempting to block the confirmation of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court because of their anger over the failed Merrick Garland nomination last year. The editorial board called Gorsuch a “well-qualified” judge and reminded readers that Democrats had abolished the filibuster for other nominations when they were […]
Too often, the liberal media blames the conservatives and the GOP for destroying the country and causing trouble. This time, the liberal media avoids pointing blame at the Democratic Party over the use of the so-called “nuclear option,” where the Senate can throw aside the filibuster in favor of a simple majority vote. Who is […]
In 2013, Chuck Schumer blasted the alleged obstructionist tactics by Republicans to use the filibuster in the Senate. Harry Reid, who was the Senate Majority Leader at the time, then invoked the “nuclear option” to override the Republican minority opposition to Obama’s picks to lead federal agencies. Now, he is making statements to the opposite, […]
The contrast in headlines is interesting, when you look at it. In 2013, then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid tossed aside the filibuster by Republicans to invoke the ‘nuclear option.’ The Democratic Party then used it to appoint agency officials for then-President Barack Obama. Here are headlines from 2013: Washington Post: Reid, Democrats trigger ‘nuclear’ option; eliminate most filibusters […]
The Trump administration and the Republican-controlled Senate have cut back regulations and paperwork in government, per the American Action Forum (AAF): …the Senate was able to disapprove four regulations that resulted in $501 million in regulatory cost savings. According to AAF calculations, as of last week, the per capita regulatory burdens for 2017 now stands […]
The media may have blown up the story beyond what it was: political name-calling on the Senate floor between two Republican senators on foreign policy. Arizona U.S. Senator John McCain was upset at Kentucky U.S. Senator Rand Paul’s remarks on admitting Montenegro as a NATO member, and said that Paul was working for Russian President […]
The liberal media hounded Attorney General Jeff Sessions for neglecting to mention his meetings with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. in his confirmation hearing. However, Sessions’ camp said the meetings were due to his duties as a member of a Senate committee. Sessions did recuse himself from any probe of Russia-Trump campaign contact during […]
