Sunny Hostin complains about Lindsey Graham's sister taking his position, but you will not believe why

The View remains the place where daytime television goes to remind everyone that ignorance and self-righteousness make a perfect pair. This time the panel turned its mighty intellect to the news that South Carolina had appointed Darline Graham, sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, to finish out his term. 

Sunny Hostin, whose given name is evidently an oxymoron, found the whole arrangement deeply offensive to the cause of womanhood. The ladies then proceeded to demonstrate, once again, that they have no idea what the words they throw around actually mean.

Here is how the discussion unfolded:

SUNNY HOSTIN: I don't love it. I don't love it. You know, she'll be the first woman to be a U.S. senator in South Carolina in the history of the state. And I think that that's just fundamentally wrong that South Carolina just couldn't elect a woman and this is the only way that it was done.I think the experience does matter. And while she is a certified optician and while she has done great work in that field, I don't think that she should be representing the people of South Carolina in the U.S. Senate. I just don't. [Sunny would rather a Democrat woman be the first woman senator in the state.]

JOY BEHAR: Is this the very definition of a DEI? [Actually, it isn't. It might be considered nepotism, but D.E.I. is a horse of a different color, and the ladies of "The View" should be familiar with horses.]

SUNNY HOSTIN: Correct! Correct! It's everything that the Republican Party stands against! Everything! Everything! It's DEI. Nepotism. All these things thrown in together. And, you know, at this very same time Pete Hegseth blocked more promotions for women in particular for women of color to become admirals. And so this is happening. I feel like our government is fundamentally broken and I just disagree. I disagree with this. [And Darline is a Republican.]

BEHAR: I agree with you. It's not like taking over your mother's job at McDonald's.

HOSTIN: Yeah, it's not.

BEHAR: You're running

HOSTIN: It's the U.S. Senate.BEHAR: You're in government. You have to know what you're doing.

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: You guys are putting too much stock in who's currently in Congress.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Yeah, you got a point. 

Hostin also invoked the solemn testimony of Steve Schmidt to establish that Lindsey Graham had been a bad man all along. On "The View" this counts as serious evidence. 

The panel nodded along as though Schmidt were some neutral historian rather than the usual angry Never-Trumper whose opinions happen to match the room. What the ladies managed to miss, as they always do, is that none of this qualifies as DEI, as I mentioned above. 

DEI is the practice of handing out positions according to race and sex checkboxes while pretending merit is still in the room. Filling a vacant Senate seat with a family member is simply how representative government has worked for most of its history. Brothers, sons, widows, and sisters have stepped in when needed. The republic did not collapse the first dozen times it happened and it is unlikely to collapse now.

The real offense, apparently, is that South Carolina chose continuity over the approved method of holding a special election just so a woman could be elected the approved way. That this woman happens to be the sister of the man who held the seat is treated as some novel scandal rather than the ordinary business of politics. 

The panel then used a Strawman argument and compared the situation to blocking promotions in the military, as though one has anything to do with the other. The geniuses concluded that the government itself is broken [whatever that actually means] because Republicans refuse to play the identity game on command.

It was the usual performance: loud, empty, and entirely untroubled by either history or logic. The ladies of "The View" once again proved that when you start with the conclusion that everything conservatives do is wicked, the facts can be arranged to fit afterward. 

No actual thinking is required and this is what they excel in.

What do you think? I know it's controversial, but it's only temporary if Ms. Graham doesn't win in November's midterm elections.

Another Democrat Meltdown: Sexual Assault Allegation Explodes in Platner’s Campaign Right Before the Deadline, Because of Course It Does

Throws Up In His Mouth After Smelling His Own Breath

Oh, how shocking. Another glowing progressive champion finds himself wrapped up in the kind of scandal that would end a Republican’s career in about five minutes flat. 

Democratic Senate candidate Graham "HH" Platner is now embroiled in controversy over his past behavior, including allegations of abuse from ex-girlfriends and that charming Nazi-linked tattoo he used to sport. Speculation is swirling on social media about the future of this scandal-plagued Nazi-loving far-left Democratic nominee after several of his events were mysteriously canceled over the Fourth of July weekend. Then, naturally, Politico dropped an explosive report on Monday afternoon accusing him of sexual assault, timed perfectly ahead of a key deadline. 

How convenient for the party that always lectures us about believing all women, until the woman in question becomes politically inconvenient. Just ask Hillary Clinton about that factoid.

Maine resident Jenny Racicot, 41, told Politico over the course of three interviews that Platner forced her to have sex five years ago against her will, a claim that Herr Platner denied in the story. Additionally, the report says that a man Racicot dated afterward confirmed she had told him about the incident, which was also corroborated by emails between Racicot and her therapist. 

"I remember him grabbing my pelvis and being really forceful of me," Racicot told the outlet, which allegedly took place while Platner was 'almost blackout drunk.' "I remember the specific moment where I thought to myself, like, 'This is no longer my choice.'"

Platner and his wife with whom he was unfaithful

Racicot said in the report that "one of the reasons" she didn't come forward until now was the "huge moral conflict" she had between her support of Platner's politics and not supporting him "as a person." In other words, she was torn between being a Democrat puppet or a victim of a Democrat.

"I just want the truth out there," Racicot said. "I just want people to have a whole scope of who he is as a person."

In a statement to Politico, the Nazi tattoo-wearing Platner said, "These allegations are troubling, serious, and false. Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue." 

The Platner campaign posted a video on X shortly after the Politico story published where Platner again called the allegations "false" and that he was going to "reflect" on the best path forward. The idea that he is capable of reflecting is questionable since vampires cast no reflection.

"So, regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting, but mindful the political reality it will inflict, we are taking the time to reflect on the best path forward for the state that I love, the people that I love, the movement I belong to, and the goal of defeating Susan Collins," Platner says in the video. "Those were the goals when we launched this campaign, and they remain my goals today."

Translation from conservative ears: The political reality of voters finding out who you really are is proving rather inconvenient for your communist cosplay tour. As for this writer, I am ashamed that you were a US Marine.

Over the last few days, multiple Platner events over the 4th of July holiday weekend and Monday were mysteriously canceled. There was no official explanation or comment from the campaign, Bangor Daily News reported on Monday, other than one event organizer saying that an event in Gorman was canceled due to Platner "not feeling well." 

Sure, comrade; must be that sudden case of "the voters might actually hear what I stand for" flu.

The news of the canceled events led conservative outlets and pundits to speculate throughout the day on Monday, before the Politico report was published, about whether there was an underlying reason for the cancellations. Turns out their instincts were spot on, as usual.

"Graham Platner cancels MULTIPLE scheduled town hall events as progressive allies tease another scandal is about to hit his campaign," the Maine Wire news outlet posted on X. "Augusta town hall for last night - CANCELED Gorham town hall tonight - CANCELED Sanford town hall tonight - CANCELED. There are no other upcoming events listed on his FB page, or on Mobilize."

"Graham Platner no-showed Fourth of July celebrations across Maine," the National Republican Senatorial Committee posted on X in response to the Maine Wire post. "Now, he's canceling everything else. We wouldn't want to be seen in public either… "

"A well-placed source told us that Graham Platner is dropping out of the Maine Senate race this week," the Washington Reporter posted on X. "Note that Platner has yet to release his Q2 fundraising totals, a sign he may have underperformed expectations." It seems as if Maine voters are hesitant to vote Nazi/Communist this year, but give them time because, hey, you never know.

Susan Collins with her 'banky' and a new lease on Senate?

In addition to the online rumors circulating on Monday, bets on the online prediction market Polymarket surged over the weekend, with users betting that Platner would drop out before the midterms. Even the betting markets know a sinking ship when they see one and soon the rats will also depart, I suspect.

Platner has been at the center of multiple controversies since launching his campaign, including infidelity, alleged physical abuse of an ex-girlfriend, a Nazi-linked tattoo, disparaging comments about the military, referring to himself as a "communist", scrutiny over his working-class bonafides, and a variety of inflammatory posts on a deleted Reddit account. But sure, he’s definitely the man Maine needs in the Senate. What could possibly go wrong that isn't already going wrong in places like New York City?

Despite the controversies, many polls in recent weeks showed that Platner had a lead on Collins. However, a Fox News poll published last week showed Collins with a small advantage, along with more than half of respondents saying that Platner lacks the judgment to serve as a U.S. senator. 

That level of bad judgment deserves its own participation trophy . . .  and a therapist.

Now that Platner has won the Democratic primary, the next key date is 5 p.m. on Monday, July 13. Under Maine law, if Platner formally withdraws as the Democratic nominee by that deadline, the Maine Democratic Party can replace him on the general election ballot by selecting a new nominee through its party process, with the replacement required to be chosen by July 27.

"These allegations are very serious and Graham vigorously denies them," a Platner campaign mouthpiece told Fox News Digital. "They are also coached and coordinated by out of state establishment operatives. For a year, opponents of this campaign have thrown everything they can at Graham – calling him a Nazi, a war criminal, and a communist. None of it has been true and this is no different." 

"It is not a coincidence that this story comes a week before the ballot deadline, just as the previous false allegations came a week before the primary. Graham began this campaign to fight for a Maine where everyone is treated with dignity and where Mainers are put first, and no amount of desperate smears will stop this movement from seeing that vision through."Of course it’s all a vast right-wing conspiracy. It always is, until the next scandal drops.

In fact, the Democratic Party has perfected the art of dropping last minute bombs on GOP candidates and nominees, if memory serves. [See Brett Kavanaugh.]

Meanwhile, Susan Collins continues doing her job while the Democrats tear their latest “working class hero” to shreds. Business as usual in the party of decency, decorum, and implying that Republicans are a danger to the nation and must be dealt with . . . use your imagination, Antifa et al.

GOP ensures ICE funding through Trump's term in office

The GOP-led Senate wasted no time early Thursday morning, ramming through a budget plan that funds the Department of Homeland Security and pours another $70 billion into immigration enforcement for the rest of President Trump’s term in office. 

Democrats were livid that illegal aliens could not remain in their voter base.

The measure cleared the narrowly divided chamber on a 50-48 party-line vote, with every Republican in support and Democrats unified in opposition. For all Republicans to stand together on any issue is known as "The Miracle on Capitol Hill."

GOP leaders hailed the passage as a critical step to lock down the border [and level the voter playing field]. The resolution now heads to the House and sets up the reconciliation process, allowing Republicans to advance the funding bill without Democrats’ filibuster roadblocks.

“We have a multistep process ahead of us, but at the end, Republicans will have helped ensure that America’s borders are secure and prevented Democrats from defunding these important agencies,” said Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-ND).

Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) ripped into Democrats for blocking DHS funding 16 times. The department has gone without proper funding since February 14, 2026.

“Democrats are playing to the most radical members of their party. Through their actions, Democrats are putting the safety and security of our nation behind the safety and security of their own political careers,” he said from the Senate floor.

Democrats spent the debate pushing amendments they insisted would tackle housing, childcare, and health care costs.

“Instead of pumping hundreds of billions of dollars into ICE and Border Patrol, Republicans should be working with Democrats to lower out-of-pocket costs,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said.

Several Republican priorities fell short after moderate [aka RINO] GOP senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) crossed the aisle to join Democrats. The pair helped kill a proposal from Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) to strip funding from Planned Parenthood.

“One recent study found that in three years alone, Planned Parenthood got a billion and a half dollars from Medicaid and Medicare. Money to be used on these risky surgeries and [transgender] procedures for our children. This is wrong,” Hawley said. “This is a terrible misuse of federal funds, and we should put a stop to it today.”

Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Murkowski, and Collins also teamed up with Democrats to block Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) from attaching the SAVE Act, which would require photo ID to vote in federal elections, to the budget measure.

Dem Senator grateful a dead person [not Biden] donated to his campaign

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is facing criticism after Ohio election officials reported that a dead woman allegedly made a contribution to his campaign.

No greater love hath a dead person have than to contribute to a Democrat's campaign.   

According to the New York Post, an actual newspaper, Brown's campaign disclosed receiving two donations in May 2024, adding up to $350, from Carol Ann Baker of Toledo, Ohio. Sadly, Ms. Baker passed away to a better place in December 2023 and this raised eyebrows and red flags.

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose forwarded the matter to the Federal Election Commission for further investigation because voter law requires voters and donors be alive at the time they gave their support to a candidate. 

“Our office received a complaint identifying that the Friends of Sherrod Brown committee reported receiving two contributions from an individual that was confirmed to be deceased,” LaRose spokesman Dan Lushek said, referring to the late Ms. Baker. “But, as that committee is a federal entity and not a filer with our office, we referred the complaint and our findings to the Federal Elections Commission for further action.”

In a letter sent to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Huan Yi, the head of investigations at the Ohio Secretary of State’s office, included an affidavit from Baker’s husband confirming her death. Prior to her passing, Ms. Baker was an English teacher at Rossford High School and served as a trustee for Harris Township.

Yi also mentioned that Ohio’s Election Integrity Unit would be available to assist with the investigation as needed.

“Ohioans deserve absolute confidence in their elections,” Yi said. “The purpose of this letter is to refer to your office potential violations of federal law for your investigation, as appropriate.”

Democrat voting block?

According to the complaint filed with Ohio election officials, the man who flagged the donations said he had reached out to the FEC in August, but did not hear anything back from them.

Brown is currently defending his seat from Republican challenger Bernie Moreno, whose campaign criticized him over the donations by the dearly departed.

“Brown’s scheme to fund his campaign with contributions from dead people isn’t just creepy, it’s illegal,” Moreno Press Secretary Reagan McCarthy said. “This conspiracy deserves more scrutiny. How far does it go?”

Well why not also check out the voter rolls and see how many dearly departed voted for Democrats.

While Ohio went comfortably for former President Donald Trump in both 2016 and 2020, Brown currently maintains a 3.6 point average advantage in the polls heading into November. This may be due to Brown's unusual first name since Democrats seem to thrive on firsts of all stripes, although it's extremely unlikely that this was the first time a dead person contributed or voted for a Democrat.

Some Senators will now be allowed to dress like slobs

Good news! Upper house U.S. Senators will now be allowed to dress any way they want, even if it's the same way Pennsylvania Democrat Senator John Fetterman dresses. 

Fetterman, as you may know, dresses like he's lounging around his home watching "House of Cards" in his shorts and hoodie. All he needs is a Bud Light in his paws and a slice of pizza to perfect the look.

Now the US Senate will no longer enforce a dress code for members of the upper house but this will not be so for " . . . others entering the chamber must comply with the dress code. Coats/ties for men. Business attire for women," Chad Pergram, the Senior Congressional Correspondent for Fox News tweeted.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck "Nostrils" Schumer (D-NY) covertly sent the directive to the Senate's Sergeant at Arms, Axios reported.

Of course, this change will allow Fetterman and other uncaring slobs to dress like kids who've been kicked out of school for the way they dressed.

Fetterman suffered a severe, life-threatening stroke which turned his speech into Biden-like blather, but his use of a computer program, to help him with intake and output of communication, allowed him to elevate his verbalizations to be on par with those of VP Kamala Harris. He spent six weeks at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center where he was treated for "clinical depression." He also suffered hearing loss and was fitter for hearing aids.

When the style-starved senator returned to do the work of the people, he refused to dress like a professional and came up with a "workaround" to the Senate dress code.

"He votes from the doorway of the Democratic cloakroom or the side entrance, making sure his ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ is recorded before ducking back out."

"The tips are happy fine business," Fetterman said, referring to the few quarters and dollar bills he receives handing out cloaks without knowing who they actually belong to.

"Senators are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor. I will continue to wear a suit," Schumer told Axios, with the proverbial stick still in place where no man has tread before.

Sen. Fetterman out of in-patient psych treatment for major depression: ready to represent PA for now

"Look, a dead bird!"

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has been released from Walter Reed Medical Center, in Washington, D.C. on Friday night. He is heading home to Pennsylvania where he will continue his recovery from major depressive disorder and will return to work on April 17th when the Senate returns from recess.

The senator checked into the mental health wing at Walter Reed in February for treatment of depression, a diagnosis not uncommon for people who had suffered from a cerebral vascular accident, also known as a stroke.

“I am so happy to be home,” Fetterman wrote in a post on his Senate Twitter account. “I’m excited to be the father and husband I want to be, and the senator Pennsylvania deserves. Pennsylvanians have always had my back, and I will always have theirs.” So like the nation that deserves a brain addled, hardly sentient president, Pennsylvania deserves a person who requires the assistance of a computer to understand speech, and whose mental health is tenuous due to a near-death stroke he suffered. 

Hopefully, John Fetterman has fully recovered from his major depression, and is able to personally cope with the stressors he must be experiencing after his life threatening and debilitating stroke, but shouldn't he pack it in and retire gracefully? Is it Gisele, his wife, who is pushing him to remain in the Senate? [One could ask the same question about President Biden and Doctor Jill]. 

“I am extremely grateful to the incredible team at Walter Reed,” Fetterman added. “The care they provided changed my life. I will have more to say about this soon, but for now I want everyone to know that depression is treatable, and treatment works. This isn’t about politics — right now there are people who are suffering with depression in red counties and blue counties. If you need help, please get help.”

Good advice. Now all he should do to help himself is to remove the stress he must undergo as a US Senator.

According to a statement from Dr. David Williamson, chief of neuropsychiatry and medical director of Walter Reed, Fetterman was admitted on February 15 with severe symptoms of depression, including low energy and motivation, minimal speech, poor sleep, slowed thinking, slowed movement, and feelings of guilt and worthlessness. Fortunately, Fetterman did not show signs of suicidal ideation. But his symptoms had progressively worsened over a period of eight weeks; Fetterman stopped eating and drinking, causing low blood pressure and possibly hurting blood-flow to his brain. Weight loss or gain is a common diagnostic consideration with the diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder.

Doctors at the Neuropsychiatry Unit, along with Cardiolgy and Neurology specialists from Walter Reed, examined his medical records and performed additional tests. There were no signs of a new stroke, and his brain activity was stable, which is not the same as 'normal.'

Fetterman's heart was healthy with no clots. Fetterman’s low blood pressure was attributed to poor hydration and weight loss. The Cardiology team adjusted his medications while his depression was handled with medication therapy, which he will need to continue for the remainder of his life.

Fetterman’s mood steadily improved over the following weeks, the statement continued. He slept better, ate well and hydrated, and he seemed happier and more motivated, and his attitude and engagement with others also improved. The report concluded that his depression went into remission because of the treatment. Fetterman committed to long-term treatment for depression, the report said. 

What the report left out, however, was whether they believe he was able to adequately conduct the business of a US Senator.

The doctors also evaluated his auditory processing abilities, which were hampered by the stroke he suffered in May. Fetterman was fitted for hearing aids, and worked with speech therapists. Fetterman’s depression may have been a barrier to engaging with his doctors, the report stated, but improvement in his condition may have improved his speech abilities. Williamson said that his speech would continue to improve with continued outpatient rehab.

A source close to the senator told the Compromised News Network (CNN) that he would likely be “as good or better than his best days post-stroke.”

Time will tell; let's hope so, but Fetterman should think about stepping down from office and spending time recovering, relaxing and enjoying his life.

Pennsylvania voters call for Fetterman's resignation after over 6 weeks on a mental ward

The Comedy News Network (CNN) got something they may have not expected: voters want Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) to resign. 

The leftist outlet took to the streets of Pennsylvania asking voters what they thought about Fetterman after he had been hospitalized for depression for more than six weeks.

“I don’t think the man is fit for the job,” one Pittsburgh resident said. “It may be he doesn’t have the cognitive ability also,” to which the CNN "reporter" responded: "But he has a machine that helps him understand what's going on and to communicate words in response to others trying to communicate with him."

When a reporter asked if there was anything that Fetterman could do to prove his eligibility for office, one Pennsylvanian said, “He could resign and turn it over to somebody who is physically fit to handle the job.”

To which the CNN "reporter" replied: "He's physically fit. Did you see how big the guy is? And he is tough--I'd hate to run into him in a dark alley."

Fetterman checked in for treatment in mid-February for depression. That isn't funny, but it's serious and needs the sufferer's total attention. Besides the depression, Fetterman is dealing with the outcome of a life-threatening stroke which has greatly impaired his cognitive abilities. He really does need a machine to deal with the spoken word, and there's likely more that isn't being reported. He should not be in the Senate and in fact, he should consider retiring and spending the rest of his life peacefully enjoying his retirement.

I suspect his wife, Gisele, is pushing him to stay in the Senate because she appears to have her own agenda in politics. 

So, while Fetterman has been in the hospital for over six weeks getting treated for depression, his constituents are going without representation in the Senate.

As Fetterman’s mental health continues to be of great concern to Pennsylvanians, calls for his resignation are growing.

Now what about Joe Biden?

John Fetterman still on mental ward but working from there: back soon

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) ran for the U.S. Senate, had a debilitating stroke, and still beat Republican Mehmet Oz (R) due to the latter's inability to get more votes and his suckworthiness as a candidate. It seems like the GOP rarely gets it right in the nominating process. 

So, after John and his hoodie got into office it was discovered that his linguistic ability was on par with Joe Biden's and Kamala Harris', due to the stroke. He needed a machine to understand language while both Biden and Harris refuse any help.

Currently, Fetterman is on a mental ward at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center where he is likely being given anti-depressants, psychotherapy and U.S. Senate tasks, if you believe the latter. [See photo below.] However, it is not known whether he is being treated with ECT, (better known as Electro- Convulsive Therapy, or shock treatments), but it's unlikely as it affects memory and one Joe Biden is enough.

Fetterman's office says he'll 'be back soon' as his mental ward stay continues into its third week. 

Some skeptics are claiming the Senator might be dead and his Senate seat duties are being conducted by his wife Giselle, or at least she's hoping to take the seat in the future should he become even more incompetent than he already is.

"Productive morning with Senator Fetterman at Walter Reed discussing the rail safety legislation, Farm Bill and other Senate business," Fetterman's chief of staff, Adam Jentleson, wrote in a Monday tweet, including pictures of the senator working from a table at the hospital. [See photo above.]

"John is well on his way to recovery and wanted me to say how grateful he is for all the well wishes. He’s laser focused on PA & will be back soon," Jentleson added, indicating that he is no longer a danger to himself or others and that his medications seem to be doing the trick.

Fetterman checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on the evening of Feb. 15 to be treated for clinical depression, his office said at the time, less than a week after checking out following a three-day stay for feelings of lightheadedness. Did I mention he also had a stroke, which could have contributed to what was happening in his head?

Last week, Fetterman's communications director, Joe Calvello, provided an update on the senator's health, saying he was "doing well," was working with doctors, and "remains on the path to recovery."

Meanwhile Giselle says that she's ready to go at a moment's notice to stand in for her psychologically unsound husband who not only suffers from depression, but has a pacemaker implant with a defibrillator to deal with his two heart conditions consisting of cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation.

The fact that the Democrats and Giselle still want him in the Senate is without a doubt, abusive and disgusting.

BREAKING: Senate passes same-sex marriage bill with 12 RINOs in support

In a vote Tuesday of 61 to 36, the US Senate advanced lesbian and gay legislation that would codify same-sex marriage protection into law, while most GOP lawmakers argue the language of the bill infringes on religious freedom. So now we can expect the LGBTQ+1/JTL~FRT community to demand religious devotees bake their wedding cakes and do what they demand in general.

Like the patterning behavior of birds, Senate Democrats unanimously followed the leader in support of the bill, but there was also help by some so-called Republicans. The Left is very good at naming their bills with the exact opposite meaning of what they actually are. For example, this bill is called the Respect for Marriage Act and is exactly the opposite of that title. It would be more accurate to call it the Disrespect of the Judea-Christian, Islamic, Hindu and Traditionalist's Act. But again, when you can call an act that supports killing the unborn "A Woman's Right to Choose," leaving out the little thing [literally] that she is choosing to do that is not her right, then it shouldn't surprise anyone that this bill is named Respect for Marriage Act. It's total disrespect for marriage.

And this bill repeals the Defense of Marriage Act, which is between one man and one woman.

Fortunately, this bill doesn't force states to allow for dudes to marry dudes, women to marry women, under the Obergefell v. Hodges decision. But it would however, make it so that any “person acting under color of State law” fully recognizes marriage between two people in another state and that the federal government must recognize marriages if they were valid in the state where the marriage occurred, basically nullifying the concept of states' rights.

“I hope we can get it done with all due speed because millions of Americans deserve equal justice under the law and the peace of mind knowing their right to marry the person they love is protected,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck "Nostrils" Schumer (D-NY) said Monday. Schumer is hoping once the bill gets through, he can live out his dream of marrying Adam Schiff and spend his twilight years with the man he loves.

Schumer and congressional Democrats moved the bill quickly allegedly out of fear that the Supreme Court would take up the landmark 2015 ruling that legalized marriage nationwide after overturning Roe v. Wade last summer.

Since the bill first worked through the halls of Congress, Senate Democrats worked to garner ten GOP votes — enough to clear the 60-vote filibuster threshold.

Oklahoma Republican Senator James Langford, who proposed an amendment addressing religious liberty concerns in his deep melodic voice, warned that the language fails to place any restrictions which would cause entities such as nonprofits or faith-based organizations to choose not to provide those services or to “abandon their faith,” to which Chuck Schumer responded with, 'Faith schmaith. Let's get it done," as he raised his fist and punched at the sky, feigning a punch in the balls to 'someone up there.'

“I encourage everyone in this body to ask a very simple question to themselves: is today about respecting the rights of all?” Langford said on the Senate floor. “Or is it about silencing some?”

[Fun Fact: It's about silencing some. Can you guess who?]

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) called for protections for those with religious beliefs or simply normal moral conviction that marriage is between a man and a woman. He introduced an amendment prohibiting federal bureaucrats from discriminating against individuals, organizations, and other religious entities by stripping away tax-exempt status, licenses, contracts, or other benefits, because he knows how the left thinks.

The amendments proposed by Langford, Lee, or Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) passed as religious freedom in America is slowly becoming unacceptable.

"Journalist" scrambles to delete the truth about John Fetterman

"My arms, them I hold to be self-evidently"

You know, we all know, that Pennsylvania senate candidate John Fetterman has suffered a serious cognitive impairment after suffering a stroke on May 13th of this year, just days prior to his winning of the Democratic nomination for the Senate. Anyone with a decent heart wishes him well and anyone with a decent brain wishes he would not win the Senate seat because he is unable to accurately process verbal information without the use of a computer assistance providing closed captioning that helps him understand to some degree what is being said.

On Saturday morning, a Rolling Stone journalist had the audacity to tell the truth about Fetterman, an act that may cost Kara Voght dearly.

Since the MSNBC interview, Fetterman's mental condition is becoming increasingly apparent to the public and it's much worse than his campaign previously revealed. The fact that even with the closed captioning, Fetterman does not always understand what is being said is having many voters feeling they were lied to.

For months, Fetterman's campaign had insisted he was generally fine, and that a complete recovery was imminent. But the massive stroke he suffered has made it impossible to hide the fact that he is unable to properly process verbal information. The claim that he "was fine" morphed to "he's disabled, and you are an ableist bigot if you question his fitness for office." 

Fetterman's wife, who is not running for public office, not only defended him but went on to  demand there be “consequences” for the MSNBC reporter who exposed her husband’s condition. Free speech should not trump Fetterman's disorganized speech, especially by a reporter who was supposed to be in the pocket of the Democratic Party, like all good legacy media "reporters."

But rather than Gisele Fetterman being called out for her tyrannical, unconstitutional demand, the slag received a powder puff piece written about her in Rolling Stone by political creative writer Kara Voght.

Voght sought to fawn praise on Gisele and unwittingly said the quiet part out loud, referring to her as the "de facto" candidate over her verbally compromised husband. As soon as she realized what she had done, she scrambled to delete her accurate assessment but it was too late.

Jim Treacher caught it and tweeted:

But don't go there--the page no longer exists. However, you might want to check out the Rolling Stone article linked below by Chuck Ross:

It seems that John Fetterman is so brain-damaged and unable to perform the required duties in the Senate that he needs his wife to pull his strings? Who do they think he is; Joe Biden? As mentioned, like Jill Biden, Gisele Fetterman is not a candidate in this Senate race. She has no business making any demands on the so-called free press, but she loves to say that she's the "brains of the operation."

The truth is, if Gisele Fetterman really is the "de facto" candidate, and it seems like she is, John Fetterman should drop out of the race immediately. Gisele is irrelevant and has no business, no right in fact, to pretend she is more than the wife of John Fetterman. Anything that goes beyond the spousal support of her candidate husband is misplaced ego needs.

Kara Voght's tweet and article unwittingly points out that John Fetterman [aka Fetterwoman] is unfit to serve as US senator, just like Joe Biden is unfit to serve as President of the United States of America. If the Democratic Party cared more about the country than they care about power, both would have been retired from public office.

Biden's Neera Tanden on Michelle O's catchphrase: 'going high doesn't f**king work'

Joe Biden has probably won the election, but that isn't yet a fact. In spite of this, he babbled that he will nominate Neera Tanden to head up the Office of Management and Budget because she owns a vulva and he believes all vulva owners should run the country for diversity sake.

In 2017, Tanden repudiated the Michelle Obama lie stating, "when they go low, we go high." Obama obviously only said it for the cheers and applause, but Tanden took issue with it. She tweeted that "going high doesn't f**king work." This may explain why she prides herself on being a low-life, but that isn't yet confirmed--nor will she be.

Since being outed as a low-life, Tanden has deleted about 1,100 tweets that would cause her to be recognized for what she truly is. [H/T New York Post] Many of her tweets attacked GOP senators who she now would need for her confirmation. Any of these senators who vote to confirm her ought to be primaried and voted out of office.

Tanden is currently the chief executive of the Center for American Progress, a far Left organization.

If you're interested in seeing some of the other tweets this leftist has posted and deleted, they were  saved on the Internet archive "Wayback Machine." The post in quiestion was posted on June 20, 2017.

The outing of this post comes at a time when Biden is pretending to push for unity among all Americans after the election he was told by the legacy media that he won.

"I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but unify," Biden joked in his presumptive victory speech. Then stealing from his prior boss, Barack Hussein Obama added, "Who doesn't see red states and blue states, only sees the United States."

Biden isn't only a gaffe machine, he a plagiarist factory.

Some Democrats have praised Tanden as a good choice for Biden's presumptive administration. These include Sen. Elizabeth "1024" Warren, D-MA) Rep. Barbara Lee, D-CA), and imaginary Georgia Gov. Stacey Abrams.

"Such a great choice to lead OMB," Lee tweeted Monday. "@NeeraTanden will bring the experience and humanity urgently needed in this position. Congratulations!"

Oh, the humanity! I smell smoke . . .

The law sides with Florida's Rick Scott re: 'violation' of state constitution

The left has never met a constitution they didn't hate and Florida is no exception.

A state judge on Friday ruled with Florida Republican Rick Scott in ordering that Republicans be granted "immediate" access to requested information about ballots in Broward County, amid lawsuits against the county's top election official, Brenda Snipes.

Snipes is the County Supervisor of Elections for 15 years and was appointed to this position after her predecessor, Miriam Oliphant, was removed for incompetence by then-Gov. Jeb Bush. Snipes has won election for the office in 2004 and has been re-elected every 4 years since.

Her first problem as supervisor was ahead of the 2004 presidential primary whereby a handful of mail-in ballots were sent to the wrong address. She took full responsibility and had her office recheck addresses on remaining mail-ins. One week before the election, her office informed 100,000 voters that their polling place had moved, but luckily on Election Day, things went swimmingly.

Until the actual general election of 2004 when problems were as serious as a scream of "Allahu Akbar!" in a bar. About 58,000 mail-in ballots were not delivered and the post office attempted to figure out what the heck just happened. Snipes' office scrambled to send out replacements.

Like an omen to future elections, the Sun Sentinel reported that the Broward elections office WAS STILL COUNTING BALLOTS DAYS AFTER the 2004 election!

In the 2006 election, after the rest of Florida had finished tallying votes, BROWARD WAS STILL COUNTING because there was a chance that some votes may have been left in machines at polling places, which led to the term, "Thumb stuck in their nether regions."

Even though Gov. Rick Scott tried to purge felons from the voter rolls after his 2010 win as governor, at least five felons voted in Broward County in 2012. The same year, people waited in line past the 9 pm deadline because some locations ran out of ballots. A week after the election, about 1,000 uncounted ballots turned up in a warehouse.

Brenda Snipes

In 2012, Florida came in dead last to report election totals. Initially, Snipes defended her incompetence but eventually agreed to pursuing reforms to end long lines and misplaced ballots.

Snipes' first lawsuit came in 2014 over confused ballot layout, a possible problem in this year's election.

In the August 2016 primary, her office posted election results for early and mail-in voting on its website before polls closed at 7 p.m., which is a violation of state law. Snipes blamed a third-party vendor.

Before the November 2016 election in which Hillary Clinton loss to Donald Trump, a few voters complained that their mail-in ballots were missing the medical marijuana amendment that passed that year.

Then Snipes got sued again.

Tim Canova (I) for Congress lost to U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Weston) in 2016 and sued to see the ballots from that primary in March 2017. Snipes had ordered the ballots destroyed in September 2017, signing a certification that no court cases that centered on the ballots were pending. But under federal freaking law, those ballots were required to be kept 22 months after the election. Snipes had them destroyed after only 12 months.

Now we have Gov. Scott's Senate campaign suing elections supervisors in Broward and Palm Beach county Thursday where "fraud" and "incompetence" have been cited.

In their lawsuit against Broward, Scott, who is narrowly leading in the state's race for a U.S. Senate seat, allege that election officials are hiding critical information about the number of votes cast and counted.

In an emergency court hearing on Friday, state Judge Carol-Lisa Phillips ruled there has "been a violation of the Florida constitution," as well as the states' public records act, by not turning over requested records.

Gee, ya think?

For more information on Snipes, check out the Sun Sentinel.

Phillips ordered Snipes to allow for the "immediate inspection" and "photocopying" of the requested records no later than 7 p.m. Friday, hardly giving her enough time to doctor enough records to give the Democrats the win.

Scott's emergency complaint accused Snipes of being "unwilling to disclose records revealing how many electors voted, how many ballots have been canvassed, and how many ballots remain to be canvassed," adding that charges of uncertainty "raises substantial concerns about the validity of the election process."

President Trump, who doesn't like to get in the middle of controversies that don't directly involve him [just kidding] said of Snipes, "She has had a horrible history . . . and all of a sudden they're finding votes out of nowhere."

It is amazing that this incompetent woman has not been fired.

Scott is running against longtime incumbent Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson, a man with a strange voice who always looks as if he had just finished crying.
