Ben Carson was approved unanimously by this Senate committee, including Elizabeth Warren and Sherrod Brown.
http://www.banking.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/membership …
Next......the full senate vote.
I am cynical...............many dems wanted to point out early that Dr Carson was not qualified, now, when the have to vote against him (?)
certainly his race isn't an issue for them is it ?
31 Senate Democrats voted “no” on Pompeo for CIA Director.
So, let me get this straight, Senate Democrats.
Mike Pompeo isn’t qualified to be CIA Director, but Ben Carson IS qualified to be HUD Secretary?

Spent 18 years under Reid. That is a long time! Even had assistant HC title. Just seems odd he would leave to be QB coach of Buffalo. But I guess it's a bonus he helped development of Tyreek Hill. ...And he is from SPARTA!
I agree, another great hire by McDermott. .......Culley has been a right hand man of Reid for years.

‘Good job, lefties’: Guess who owned the limo anti-Trump rioters set on fire
As Twitchy told you last Friday, anti-Trump rioters in D.C. marked Inauguration Day by — among other things — setting fire to a limousine. So, which elitist capitalist Trump supporter did that limo belong to, anyway ?
Limo torched in DC protests belongs to Muslim immigrant http://washex.am/2jVAUo9
Well, gee. That’s awkward.More from the Washington Examiner:
The limousine that was set on fire during the anti-Trump anarchist protest in downtown Washington on Inauguration Day is owned by a Muslim immigrant who says the damage could cost his company $70,000.
…
[Nationwide Chauffeur Services owner Muhammad] Ashraf explained that with the loss of the vehicle, his company is now in the hole for $70,000 (if insurance doesn’t cover riots) plus commission and the medical bills for his driver.
That’s right — for his driver:

4 things President Trump did in the past 24 hours that should terrify Dems
No. 1: He ordered a hiring freeze on Federal workers: politi.co/2jWwhdl
No. 2 He angered immigration hawks by not immediately undoing President Obama’s executive amnesty:
nationalreview.com/corner/444157/trump-going-cancel-daca-or-not …
No. 3: Trump met with unions and the unions are ready to work with the Trump administration:
And No. 4: Praise of President Trump on trade from … Bernie Sanders:
Proof positive that Trump is more of an "anti-establishment" candidate.
He certainly never was a Conservative, which the majority of us here knew..........only the simple Gators of the world still laughingly point out when Trump does something that the left considers "un Republican"
wow, big surprise. -
There's no way we can be one country, if people like this are going to be so divisive.
DNC Chair Candidates Bash White People in Racially-Charged Forum...
Candidates aspiring to take over as chairman of the Democratic National Committee met Monday night to discuss what went wrong in 2016 and how to get the party back on track.
Early into the event the candidates gravitated toward a particular scapegoat for the party’s poor showing in November: Political consultancies owned by white people.
“We have to stop, particularly with the consultants,” said the chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party, Jaime Harrison. “You cannot come to the DNC and get a contract and the only minority face you have is the person answering the phone.”
Minority consultants “need to get the same resources that the white consultants have gotten,” said a Fox News analyst and candidate for the chairmanship, Jehmu Greene. "The DNC did a piss poor, pathetic job" attracting minorities, she said.
Democrats must provide “training” that focuses in part on teaching Americans “how to be sensitive and how to shut their mouths if they are white,” urged the executive director of Idaho’s Democratic Party, Sally Boynton Brown, who is white.
The event’s moderator, MSNBC’s Joy Ann Reid, asked the candidates how the party should handle the Black Lives Now movement.
The candidates uniformly emphasized that the party must embrace the activists unreservedly.
“It makes me sad that we’re even having that conversation and that tells me that white leaders in our party have failed,” Brown said. “I’m a white woman, I don’t get it. … My job is to listen and be a voice and shut other white people down when they want to interrupt.”
“This is life and death” she emphasized. “I am a human being trying to do good work and I can’t do it without y’all. So please, please, please, get ahold of me. Sally at we-the-dnc.org. I need schooling so I can go school the other white people.”
Another candidate said black Americans are now living with “justified fear” of being killed after Donald Trump was elected president.

I’M SO OLD, I CAN REMEMBER WHEN “JOURNALISTS” SERVED AS PARTY OPERATIVES FOR A PRESIDENT WHO ADVOCATED RADICAL CHANGE:
Journalists Whine About “Tradition” After NY Post Gets First Question At Trump Press Briefing.
JON GABRIEL: In First WH Briefing, Spicer Upsets Media Pecking Order.
“Did the new President sent red-hatted mobs to smash printing presses and hijack the cable news to run non-stop ads for Trump Steaks?.................................. Even worse.
In his first official White House press briefing, Sean Spicer called on reporters from the wrong side of the tracks. Apparently, in an unwritten rule precious only to careerist Beltway journos, the Press Secretary calls on an Associated Press reporter first then follows with questions to other large media companies.
For the first time, Spicer chose less storied agencies for the first handful of questions. Did he blacklist journalists from CNN, the New York Times, etc? No, he got to them a few minutes later. In fact, Spicer stayed as long as the reporters wanted, answering questions for well over an hour.
What so appalled the press was that Spicer upset the media’s caste system. After calling on the New York Post, he went to CBN (Christian cable network), Univision (Spanish-language channel), Fox Business Network, and American Urban Radio Networks (African-American focused service). He also announced the creation of ‘Skype seats’ that will allow reporters who live 50 miles or more from Washington DC to ask questions.”

USA TODAY COLUMN: Elections Matter — Too Much.
“In other words, if Americans increasingly find it intolerable that their political opponents control the government,
that’s because government controls too much.”

Poll: 74 Percent of Californians Want to End Sanctuary Cities
The vast majority of residents living in California would like see sanctuary cities barred, a state home to multiple jurisdictions which refuse to abide by federal immigration laws.
Roughly 74 percent of California residents want to see an end to sanctuary city policies...according to a poll by UC Berkeley.
The issue to end sanctuary cities in the state crosses racial and party lines, with 65 percent of Hispanics registering their agreement, while 70 percent of independents, 82 percent of Republicans, and 73 percent of Democrats feel the same.
During President Donald Trump’s term, sanctuary cities could see a cut in federal funding and potentially even harsh pushback from the Department of Justice under likely Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Of course.........that's just the "dirt people", .......the "cloud people" disagree

White House spokesman Sean Spicer's first official press conference
http://www.cnbc.com/2017/01/23/sean-spicer-white-house-press-conference.html
Very good job.
Short, concise answers. Called out the obvious "leading" questions.
He will do well.
I liked the exchange about lying to the press (something they never asked Carney or Earnest
)from NYT's WH reporter
Glenn Thrush @GlennThrush 2h2 hours ago Spicer seems 1) more broadly conversant with policy than most press secretaries 2) more willing to freely discuss policy than O flacks

“Maybe Waters believes that private schools don’t count, but it’s clear that DeVos has seen the inside of public-school classrooms, as well. If she was trying to say DeVos had never been an educator, she still went too far. This kind of over-the-top rhetoric earns Four Pinocchios.” Only because 5 Pinocchios isn’t an option.
