Frivolous filibuster finally flopped. Hagel confirmed

for the 5 servicemen killed in Chattanooga. Must have been hard for him to order it done. After all, he didn't light up the White House for INDEPENDENCE DAY in red, white, and blue. He only did it for the rainbow coalition.He still hasn't spoken to Kate Steinle's parents, nor has he spoken to any of the parent's of the servicemen killed 5 days ago. He did it quickly for the theater shooting, Ft. Hood, and other shootings. He was so quick to speak out about Professor G ...

(ABC News) Outgoing Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel acknowledged Friday for the first time that some officials in the White House disagreed with his slow pace in releasing Guantanamo detainees.

Now what will Obama do? Syria crossed the line that Obama drew. President Obama has said the verified use of chemical weapons by the regime would be a "red line" and a "game-changer" for U.S. and international military intervention in the Syrian civil war. Syria has been stockpiling chemical weapons and reports indicate it has sarin, tabun,along with mustard gas and hydrogen cyanide. A 2011 CIA report said Syria was also developing the potent nerve agent VX, which could render a city uninha ...

This is really about whether we want a war in the Middle East that would dwarf anything we've been involved in there before.

"In case you haven’t heard, President Obama is considering appointing Chuck Hagel, a former United States senator from Nebraska and a Purple Heart winner, as the next secretary of defense — and this has triggered a minifirefight among Hagel critics and supporters. I am a Hagel supporter. I think he would make a fine secretary of defense — precisely because some of his views are not “mainstream.” "... because he has rather bluntly stated that his job as a U.S. sena ...

I do have mild arthritis in my hip. I sure was hoping that was not the case.

So it's an eliptical or biking for me from here on out! ...

Two longtime members of the Senate are not happy with each other, and both happen to be named “Chuck.” This past week Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) called Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) a liar, for his blatant attmept to smear President Trump when Schumer knew full well that the FBI was NOT investigating the President. Byron York has the timeline at the Washington Examiner: The same day Comey testified, March 20, Grassley tweeted, “FBI Dir Comey needs to be transparent + tell the pu ...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) wanted to prove on Thursday that Democrats don’t have the votes to weaken Congress’ authority on the debt limit. Instead they called his bluff, and he ended up filibustering his own bill. The legislation, modeled on a proposal McConnell offered last year as a “last-choice option” to avert a U.S. debt default, would permit the president to unilaterally lift the debt ceiling unless Congress mustered a two-thirds majority to stop him.

Not sure of this has a chance, but certainly is quite an aggressive "here I am" by Warren.

She will be exciting to watch for sure. ...

(More obstructism by Republicans just might lead to another vote in the middle of the night, IMHO.

Just two years ago Harry Reid went for the nuclear option eliminated the filibuster rule of 60-40 votes required to override one so he could pack the super-important DC Circuit Court with extreme leftist.

I finally split from my husband tonight. I finally had enough. I had had enough, but the last straw was tonight. He hasn't been providing for his family. We had no Christmas money, then my son's birthday come and no money for that. It takes all I can make to pay the bills and eat. He said he couldn't find a job but my stepdad told him about 2 GOOD jobs he could get on at and he wouldn't even go apply. The cell phones got cut off ...
