      XPost: alt.politics.trump, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh, alt.politics.democrats       XPost: alt.politics.media, talk.politics.guns, sac.politics       From: democrat-criminals@mail.house.gov              https://nypost.com/2022/12/12/lets-hope-gop-nominates-trump-schiffs-       unlawful-twitter-threat-and-other-commentary/              Lefty: Let’s Hope GOP Nominates Trump              The New Republic’s Michael Tomasky wants Republicans to nominate Donald       Trump for president in 2024. Why? “He’s become the most beatable”       Republican, “by far.” If independents abandon Trump as they did his       midterm candidates, there’s “no chance” he can keep the election even       “close,” and his loss could push him “out of public life.” If the nominee       is, say, Ron DeSantis or Glenn Youngkin, independents will vote against       Joe Biden, or split evenly, making it “far, far more likely” the prez       would lose. Worse, “the master narrative will be: The Republican Party has       returned to planet Earth. The Republican Party is normal again.”              From the right: Stop the New Dependency Surge              “The Biden Administration is using the pandemic to expand the class of       Americans who are permanent government dependents,” warn The Wall Street       Journal’s editors. Medicaid enrollment has ballooned by 23 million since       2020. And Team Biden is fighting state programs that require beneficiaries       to work, like one in Georgia meant to expand Medicaid eligibility. The       food-stamp rolls have also “swelled” about 13%, “owing chiefly to the       emergency suspension of work requirements.” “After the bipartisan welfare       reform of the 1990s, labor participation rose, notably among single       mothers.” Yet “too many politicians of both parties today want to expand       government dependency. A top priority for House Republicans . . . should       be to reverse the pandemic inflation of the welfare rolls.”              Education beat: Blas’ Illegal Assault on Top HSs              It turns out then-Mayor Bill de Blasio’s expansion of the “Discovery” back       door for admission to the city’s four competitive-exam-entry high schools       was illegal, Wai Wah Chin argues at City Journal, since New York law       “states that Discovery programs must be run ‘without in any manner       interfering with the academic level of these schools.’ ” That means       “Discovery admits must perform academically at least as well as” those who       win entry via the exam. Yet “the data show that this is not the case,” as       Freedom of Information requests on Stuyvesant HS and Bronx Science reveal       that Discovery admits score markedly lower on state Regents Exams than       their peers. And since Blas upped Discovery to a fifth of all admissions,       “necessary downgrades will seep through the entire school.”              Libertarian: Schiff’s Unlawful Twitter Threat              Answering Rep. Adam Schiff’s demand for action “in response to an       ‘unacceptable’ rise in bigoted slurs on Twitter,” Elon Musk countered that       hate speech is “down by 1/3” on his watch. “What he should have said is       that government officials in a free society have no business demanding the       suppression of speech they do not like,” thunders Reason’s Jacob Sullum.       The First Amendment bars Congress from “abridging” free speech, so Schiff       and his Democratic colleagues “are trying to indirectly accomplish       something that the Constitution forbids.” Fact is, Musk is “free to make       any decisions he wants about content moderation” (which is more complex       than Musk seems to think). So he should simply tell lawmakers “to mind       their own business.”              Eye on defense: A Coming US ‘Hollow Force’              Even the $858 billion Defense bill moving through Congress risks the US       military “becoming a 21st century version of the ‘hollow force’ that arose       after the Vietnam War,” both “unfit and unready to fight,” warns The       Hill’s Harlan Ullman. “Inflation is running at about 8-10 percent,” plus       “internal real annual cost growth in the Pentagon is between 5-7 percent       absent inflation.” So: “Unless annual defense increases of about 13-17       percent are approved just to stay level, the force will shrink in size and       capability.” Meanwhile, “recruiting and retaining both military and       civilian personnel in the DOD are in crisis” as the Army alone “is 30,000       short in this year’s recruiting goals” while the “Air Force and the Navy       are in similar trouble.” Oh, and “the aims of the National Defense       Strategy (NDS) are unachievable and thus cannot be executed.”              — Compiled by The Post Editorial Board              --       "LOCKDOWN", left-wing COVID fearmongering. 95% of COVID infections       recover with no after effects.              No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.       Officially made Nancy Pelosi a two-time impeachment loser.              Donald J. Trump, cheated out of a second term by fraudulent "mail-in"       ballots. Report voter fraud: sf.nancy@mail.house.gov              Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden       fiasco, President Trump.              Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the       The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed       dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
