  1. The government shutdown will start at midnight Friday unless something changes. As for Sen. Schumer's hope that Republican colleagues will join him, he already knows that won't happen because the House has adjourned and members have gone home. Senate Dems held a meeting today just before the announcement during which they yelled at each other about the next move. They have lots of wants but no real plan for getting anything. Throwing sand in the gears at this moment while also pretending they aren't responsible and don't want a shutdown really doesn't add up. As Sen. Thune put it, there's only one option available with little more than 48 hours to go. Even the NY Times seems a bit confused about how this course of action is supposed to work in Democrats' favor. Even putting aside the issue of blame for a moment, if the goal is to stop DOGE, shutting down the government seems like a counterintuitive way to go about it. What's to stop DOGE from capitalizing on the shutdown to create a permanent reduction in force? Some Democrats seem aware this is a possibility but they are ready to roll the dice anyway. It almost goes without saying that Democrats would never attempt this if their friends in the media didn't always have their backs. If a shutdown happens, their only hope is to blame Republicans and you can bet the media will bend over backwards to help convince people Dems are not to blame. Watch and see. https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2025/03/12/it-looks-like-democrats-want-a-shutdown-n3800701 https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/us/politics/government-shutdown-funding-bill-senate-democrats.html?smid=url-share .
  2. If This Is the Reaction to the Senate Dems' First Move on the Spending Bill, They Better Rethink It Matt Vespa We’re heading for a shutdown. On March 14, the government will close its doors, and it’s the fault of Senate Democrats who failed to advance the House’s six-month continuing resolution. They want to short-term CR this session to death and disrupt the GOP from their plans of passing a slew of crucial domestic items, like making the Trump tax cuts permanent, finishing the border wall, and securing our southern border. They also want to shut down the Department of Government Efficiency, whose work of uncovering wasteful spending and political class pork has hit close to home. Usually, I hate CRs, but the big prize of passing that budget reconciliation package is too good. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty damn close. Schumer, however, boasted about the GOP not having the votes for cloture this afternoon, as every Democrat refused to break ranks: If the initial reaction to the Senate Democrats’ move, which is to push the government toward closure, is everyone calling Chuck ‘shutdown Schumer,’ maybe they should rethink this strategy. Democrats also overplayed their hand during the first Trump presidency when they shut down the government over illegal aliens. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2025/03/12/if-this-is-the-reaction-to-the-senate-dems-first-move-on-the-spending-bill-they-better-rethink-it-n2653723
  3. It Seems the Schumer Shutdown Is Coming Ward Clark Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is, to put it as politely as possible, a real piece of... work. He's never seen a tax he wasn't in favor of; he defines "bipartisanship" as "Republicans do what I tell them to, and nothing more," and now he's about to shut the government down, or at least give it his best old college try. Because shutting the government down is only bad when Republicans do it. https://redstate.com/wardclark/2025/03/12/the-schumer-shutdown-is-coming-n2186598

  11. Since Democrats are once again engaged in Kristallnacht-style violence because the electorate rejected their policies, it’s time once again for my periodic reminder that all Democrats are fascists. I love the fact that whenever I point this out, some Democrat invariably claims “Derrrrr… you don’t even know what fascism is!” So let’s explore fascism a little, shall we? Listed below are attributes and practices that all 20th Century fascists have in common with the Democrat Party of 2025: 1. Laws promoting the seizure of guns from law-abiding citizens and/or the denial of gun ownership rights for law-abiding citizens. 2. Censorship of free speech by pretending such censorship protects the citizenry from faulty information (i.e., so-called “disinformation”). 3. Government control of industry. 4. Government control of the mass media. 5. Control of the entertainment industry as a means of propaganda. (See: Leni Riefenstahl; Walt Disney Corporation.) 6. Children belong to the State and not their parents. 7. Political dissidents and opposing political leadership are to be persecuted for fabricated “crimes” under the color of law through the courts. 8. Political dissidents are locked up for months/years without a trial. 9. Leading political opponents who are a threat to the fascist order are to be assassinated. 10. Extreme nationalism (Democrats hate the United States of America, but are extreme nationalistic zealots for the Woke States of America). 11. Purposeful division of the population along racial and ethnic lines as a means to power. 12. Leadership of the ruling fascist party is chosen by party leaders without any input from rank-and-file party members, but an illusion of democracy is perpetuated. (See: Kamala as nominee with zero votes.) 13. Certain party criminals are turned into martyrs upon their demise. (See: Horst Wessel; Saint George Floyd.) 14. Destruction of statues, symbols and art of the pre-fascist order. 15. Accuse dissidents of the very crimes you yourself commit. 16. Justify all of it for the “common good.” The Democrat Party of 2025 is a fascist party. Spread the word. They aren’t all fascists. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Some are commies. .
