Hey, GOP: Senate Parliamentarian Isn’t Binding
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 6/26/2025 5:13:16 PM
Important newsflash for the Senate GOP: the recommendations of the woke Senate parliamentarian, who is trying to ensure that absolutely no financial reform is enacted, are not binding. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has said he’s not going to challenge the outrageous decisions of the Senate Parliamentarian, and no doubt he’d like you to believe there’s no option otherwise. That is simply untrue. There are multiple ways of overruling the unelected Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough’s decisions. As voters, it’s very important we understand the legal realities of our system and not give our elected representatives a pass just because they claimed helplessness.

Dear New Yorkers: Texas Will Break You
28 replies
Hey New Yorkers. I heard you're probably going to get an outright communist as your mayor. Zohran Mamdani sounds like a real peach, and the fact that he won the Democrat Primary and is well on his way to the mayor's office has made many of you fire up your Zillow account and start looking for homes out of state.
I don't blame you, but let me offer you some advice. You're probably going to be tempted to come to Texas because so many companies have moved here, and you feel like you could easily land a job. I could see why you'd think that,
Americans woke up this morning to a reminder that our military isn’t merely watching the world’s villains – it is methodically, relentlessly preparing to annihilate them when the moment of decision comes. From the Pentagon podium, Brigadier General Raisin Caine laid out the story of two quietly legendary Defense Threat Reduction Agency officers who, the very day Iran began carving the Fordow enrichment plant into a mountainside, accepted a life‑long mission: figure out how to bury it for good. They “dreamt about it at night as they slept,” Caine said, “they thought about it driving back and forth to work”. For fifteen years they kept the faith, speaking of it to no one,
Zohran Mamdani, who won the Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday, will not be able to keep Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) away from the city if he wins the general election, according to border czar Tom Homan.
Mamdani has promised to “stop ICE agents from deporting our neighbors.”
“Well, good luck with that,” Homan said.
“I mean, matter of fact, the president made it clear we're going to double down and triple down [on] sanctuary cities. And why is that? It isn't to attack blue cities. It's because they're [a] sanctuary city. We know for a fact they're releasing public safety threats and national security threats back to the streets every day.

It was never a question of if Karmelo Anthony was responsible for the stabbing death of fellow teen Austin Metcalf at a Frisco, Texas, high school track meet back in April. Anthony himself admitted to carrying out the deadly act at Kuykendall Stadium, apparently telling police, "I'm not alleged, I did it!"
You have to love how passionate President Trump is about pursuing peace and building a better world—no equivocation, no double-talk. Friend and foe alike, he calls balls and strikes. And in this latest Israel–Iran crisis, he’s put his signature, clear-cut leadership on full display.
Over the past 12 days, a dramatic escalation erupted between Israel and Iran. Israel struck Iranian nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan—using U.S. B‑2 bombers and Tomahawks, claiming the sites were “completely and totally obliterated.” Iran retaliated with missile attacks, including a controversial strike on a U.S. base in Qatar and rockets that reportedly killed 28 civilians in Beersheba. Casualties across both nations reached grim totals—
Florida is about to make a bold statement in the ongoing national debate over illegal immigration, and it’s not just talk — it’s action.
The Sunshine State is rolling out a new approach that’s as tough as it is practical: setting up a string of detention centers specifically for illegal immigrants with criminal records. The centerpiece of this initiative is a facility tucked deep in the Everglades, built on the bones of an abandoned airfield, and already earning an unforgettable nickname from state officials: “Alligator Alcatraz.”
The name isn’t just for show.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier made it clear that this is no ordinary detention center.
Orlando Diaz Cebada is not a good guy.
Known in Mexico as "El Leches," he's a member of the Los Pochos gang, which traffics drugs for the infamous Sinaloa Cartel. He's also an alleged murderer.
On April 23, 2024, Mexican authorities issued an arrest warrant for Diaz Cebada for aggravated homicide. According to the warrant, he beat a Mexican law enforcement official to death. Given his alleged gang ties, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that probably wasn't a first.
He fled to the United States, entered illegally, and was deported on May 22, 2024.
Need a little afternoon pick-me-up? Look no further than this clip of United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins absolutely destroying Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) at a Senate hearing this morning, and for good reason.
Collins testified before the Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday, and when it was Murray's turn to talk, she tried to play a game of "gotcha" on the topic of the VA discriminating against certain people. Her source? The Guardian, a liberal rag published in the United Kingdom that has one of the worst cases of TDS you'll ever witness.
Here's some quick background: The Guardian posted this article last week,
Rosie O’Donnell took to social media on Monday to promote a “recount” of President Donald Trump’s landslide victory over former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
The comedian shared a post to her Instagram Story from social media influencer Joe Braxton, who claimed that Tesla CEO Elon Musk “hacked and stole” the 2024 presidential election in his demand for a “recount.”
“We Demand A Recount!” the online influencer exclaimed in the caption of his Instagram post, which was shared by O’Donnell.
Braxton went on to bizarrely alleged that “Elon hacked and stole the election, then created a department
President Trump on Monday evening announced that Israel and Iran have agreed to a total ceasefire in 6 hours.
“CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED! Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World.

The majority of the Supreme Court is just as fed up with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as we are.
A slate of Supreme Court opinions were released today, including Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic. The court sided with Medina in a 6-3 decision, ruling that states like South Carolina are not legally bound to funnel taxpayer dollars towards abortion facilities like Planned Parenthood
Dissenting, as per usual, was liberal justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, [snip]
Jackson’s dissent begins by invoking the Civil Rights Act of 1871 – legislation which expanded the federal government’s power to defend citizens’ constitutional rights against “white supremacist violence,” in Jackson’s words.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett has gotten a bad rap lately for siding with the leftist wing of the Supreme Court on a few cases, but if you ever needed a reminder of why ACB was such a pivotal addition to the Supreme Court, look no further than her latest majority opinion, which brutally destroyed Ketanji Brown Jackson for her moronic dissent in Trump v. CASA, Inc.
In a 6-3 decision that handed President Trump a major victory, the Court put the brakes on runaway district judges issuing nationwide injunctions — an abuse that’s become the left’s favorite tool for stalling any policy they dislike.
Jackson’s dissent veered into unhinged territory
The Zohran Mamdani Revolution

They did it. They finally did it. Those maniacs. They blew it up.
As New Yorkers walk dazed through the streets of the world's greatest city, seeking perhaps the half-buried Statue of Liberty lying beneath the silent sands of adeserted beach in the Forbidden Zone, one thing has become clear: The young revolutionaries of the Democratic Party are ready to take control of their party's future. And there's hardly anyone left to stop them. On Tuesday, Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old Ugandan-born trust fund baby -- the scion of a Columbia University post-colonialism professor and an Oscar-nominated Hollywood director --

to Opt Their Kids Out of LGBTQ-Themed
Classroom Activities 20 replies
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday handed down its ruling in the parental rights case of Mahmoud v. Taylor. In a 6-3 decision, SCOTUS decided that parents do have the right to opt their elementary school-aged (pre-K through 8th grade) children out of classroom instruction that may include materials on gender and sexuality. The three dissenters were Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito states that the parents involved were likely to succeed in their claim that the school system, by not allowing the opt-out on LGBTQ-themed classroom activities, was an unconstitutional burden on their religious liberties.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom sued Fox News on Friday, seeking damages of at least $787 million from the conservative network for allegedly defaming him in misleading comments about a phone call with President Donald Trump.
“No more lies,” Newsom wrote in a tweet that announced his lawsuit, which the Democrat filed in Superior Court in Delaware, where Fox News is incorporated.
The monetary damages Newsom is seeking almost exactly match what Fox Corp. Fox News, and other Fox cable networks agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems in April 2023 to settle a Delaware lawsuit alleging they defamed Dominion by falsely claiming its machines swayed the outcome of the
The Supreme Court decisively ended lower courts’ ability to block policies issued by the Trump administration using nationwide injunctions on Friday.
In a 6-3 ruling, the majority found that lower courts exceeded their authority by issuing a nationwide block on President Donald Trump’s birthright citizenship restrictions.
“The injunctions before us today reflect a more recent development: district courts asserting the power to prohibit enforcement of a law or policy against anyone,”
Democrats are uneasy about Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani’s recent victory in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor, and nowhere was that discomfort more obvious than in House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ evasive response when an anchor pressed him about Mamdani’s ideology. On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Joe Scarborough put Jeffries on the spot, asking him if Mamdani’s far-left views on economic issues and Israel were the kind of ideology Democrats should embrace in 2026. Instead of addressing the question, Jeffries pivoted hard, steering the conversation away from Mamdani entirely, and onto — you guessed it — Donald Trump.
As RedState reported, the Trump administration scored a major victory on Friday after the Supreme Court ruled that district court-level nationwide injunctions exceeded judicial authority. That will throw a wrench into the left-wing strategy of seeking universal relief in a select few left-wing jurisdictions across the country and hopefully return some actual balance to the separation of powers within the U.S. government.
Of course, while the decision was a victory for common sense and for voters who would prefer judges not overstep their bounds to essentially operate as president, it was a defeat for Democrats who have relied on that abuse to remain in power even when they lose.
Peter Orszag, a businessman and ex-Obama official, claimed Thursday that the Democratic Party was in peril of becoming an anti-capitalist and antisemitic party.
Orzag spoke with CNBC in the aftermath of Democratic New York Assemblyman Zohran Mandani winning the Democratic New York City mayoral primary election. Mandani was endorsed by the New York City Democratic Socialists of America.
“Let me step back and just say that I am saddened to say that I think the Democratic Party is becoming increasingly antisemitic and anti-capitalism,” Orszag said. “And the thing about it is turning … towards socialism and turning away from your moral principles through antisemitism never works."
June 27 really needs to be a national holiday wherein we collectively observe the bottomless depravity of the dying news media. We could call it something like “Biden Debate Day.”
The date is significant because it was the start of a 131-day journey that showed just how far the media were willing to go to steal an election. June 27 was the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, or as I like to recall it, “The day the media knew Biden had to go.”
Up until then — it was the one and only time voters got to directly compare Trump and Biden side by side in 2024 —
Consider Ceaușescu

On Christmas Day in 1989, the people of Romania held a long-awaited ceremony that was more joyous than any Nativity had been in decades. They held a spontaneous trial of President Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife Elena, found them guilty of capital crimes against the Romanian people, and sentenced them to death. There was no shortage of volunteers for the firing squad, and those lucky enough to be chosen didn’t wait for the order to fire: they riddled the Ceaușescu’s bodies with more than one hundred bullets.
The story of how the dictatorial couple met their end has important lessons for those wondering about the fate of today’s Iranian
A Democratic representative told homeland security adviser Stephen Miller, who is Jewish, to go back to “1930’s Germany” in a fiery X exchange on Wednesday.
Miller posted, “NYC is the clearest warning yet of what happens to a society when it fails to control migration,” referring to socialist Zohran Mamdani winning the Democratic primary for mayor. Representative Mark Pocan (D., Wis.) calmly responded, “Racist ***. Go back to 1930’s Germany.” X users were quick to point out that saying this to a Jewish man is a bad look. For example, the National Republican Congressional Committee called it “just the latest in a long line of outrageous, disgusting antisemitism” from Pocan.

And JD Vance, as President of the Senate, can overrule both the parliamentarian and Thune!! Sounds like this step will be needed.
