CNN — Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is leaving the Democratic Party and registering as a political independent, she told CNN’s Jake Tapper in an exclusive TV interview. “I’ve registered as an Arizona independent. I know some people might be a little bit surprised by this, but actually, I think it makes a lot of sense,” Sinema said in a Thursday interview with Tapper in her Senate office. “I’ve never fit neatly into any party box. I’ve never really tried. I don’t want to,” she added.

Given how badly she was treated by her party, I don't blame her. Manchin, you're up. Ball is in your court.

Makes sense to me. Sinema is a maverick and her party treated her like dirt.

Publicity stunt. Sinema is a big government liberal and a gun grabber.

Being a Zonie, I watch her very carefully. She is one very smart and truly independent woman. Her dissatisfaction with the Democrat party has been simmering for a long time and she's had it with partisan politics. The timing of her announcement is curious. As far as I know, she hasn't made any commitments about caucusing.

Well now, that’s interesting. Officially, it changes the balance of power, but only if she decides not to vote in lockstep with Democrats, which she’s shown she won’t do that often. Gutsy.

Manchin better do the same or he will kiss his political career away. The dems have scammed him too many times and if he stays with them it will show how weak he is.

Not impressed. Either she is leaving her Party, or she isn't. Sitting on the Fence so she can be begged by Both Parties to be their Friend doesn't seem to me to be anything but a Stunt. She needs to make a decision! I think if she wants to be a Republican, she will be welcomed with open arms. If she just wants to "visit" Republicans from time to time leaves me cold and unimpressed!

Dems were planning to savage her in the 2024 primary. Now she could just run again as an independent and Dems can have their left-wing loon candidate. It's too early to say what Republicans would do.

She is "Negotiating"....for committee seats and office location. Schumere will make a proffer, perhaps a better one now(pressure had been on to freeze her out because she didn't vote in lockstep) If it isn't good enough, she will request a counter offer from the Repup side. Manchin will do the same...Both were heavily attacked for not being a simple checkmark vote for every single action Biden/Schumer/Pelosi announced.

Guessing she wants more influence in the Senate, and she thinks she will get that by not be associated with either party. No problem with that. Both parties are terrible.

Note that she does NOT become a Republican. She and Manchin are working on increasing their power. It would seem reasonable now for Manchin to do it, too. They could be the ones controlling a LOT of issues that way.

Why Does the GOP Elite Hate Its Own Base? 42 replies
Posted by GustoGrabber 12/9/2022 6:47:13 AM Post Reply
It is one of the most bitter and tragic ironies of our contemporary politics that the leadership of one of America’s two major political parties, the Republican Party, utterly despises that party’s very own voting base. The GOP elite’s scorn for its own voters has, at this point, been a long time in the making. The trend accelerated during the 2009-2011 rise of the Tea Party, a grassroots movement fueled by constitutionalism and anti-elite populism. The crustier elements of the Republican establishment ran as far away as possible from the Tea Party, and the 2012 presidential coronation of private equity plutocrat Mitt Romney effectively killed the movement.

The Guardian just reported the results of a study of 2 million-year-old DNA found in northern Greenland. Two-million-year-old DNA from northern Greenland has revealed that the region was once home to mastodons, lemmings and geese, offering unprecedented insights into how climate change can shape ecosystems. The breakthrough in ancient DNA analysis pushes back the DNA record by 1m years to a time when the Arctic region was 11-19C warmer than the present day. The analysis reveals that the northern peninsula of Greenland, now a polar desert, once featured boreal forests of poplar and birch trees teeming with wildlife.

Griner, 32, “arrived at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, Texas early Friday … and was taken to Brooke Army Medical Center for a routine evaluation,” a State Department official told CNN. US officials who met Griner said she was “in good spirits” and “incredibly gracious,” National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told CNN.

Violent and disrespectful classroom behavior has led to a staggering 50 teachers and bus drivers to quit a Florida school district in the last two years. Brevard County School District, the state’s 10th-largest, held a heated meeting Thursday that offered an unvarnished and often disturbing glimpse into the state of its classrooms. “On an everyday basis I am deflecting being attacked, scratched, headbutted, pushed, hit,” teacher Alicia Kelderhouse said as her voice choked with emotion. “I’ve had my hair pulled, and pulled down to the ground. I’ve had my throat gone for on multiple occasions. It’s on an everyday basis right now.”

Under a bill signed by Governor Gavin Newsom in 2020, California is looking into possible ways to provide restitution to Black Americans who experienced the generational effects of slavery—and the state's reparations plan might potentially benefit White-identifying individuals, some analysts have said. A nine-member Reparations Task Force was deployed to to travel across the state and develop reparation recommendations and propose solutions to its findings, which take into account the harms that Black people suffered. In a March 2022 report, the task force said that those eligible for reparations should be descendants of enslaved African Americans or of a

President Joe Biden on Thursday celebrated the news that his administration had successfully secured the release of WNBA basketball player Brittney Griner, who was detained in Russia. “Brittney is an incomparable athlete,” Biden said, noting she was a two-time Olympic Gold medalist for the United States. Griner was arrested in February at a Moscow airport by Russian officials for possession of cannabis vape cartridges. “She represents the best about America — just across the board, everything about her,” Biden said. The White House had to have known the kind of response the Brittney Griner prisoner swap with Viktor Bout, a.k.a. the Merchant of Death would bring. That is likely why reports say

The Detroit school board is trying to remove Dr. Ben Carson’s name from a high school that was named in his honor. This is cancel culture.

They wrote a column for FOX News: We worked for Dr. Ben Carson. We know Dr. Ben Carson. Canceling him is just not right. Education is the gateway to opportunity.
