McCain Shoots Own Party...Again. Kills OCARE Repeal

Who didn't see this coming from Pretend Republican John McCain? The L.A. Times:

Sen. John McCain is usually happy to spar with reporters, but he ducked into an elevator ahead of the Senate healthcare vote late Thursday without saying a word about how he would vote.

Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, though, already knew the answer.
[.]
The [voting] moment stunned the Senate when McCain stepped up to cast his vote — a single down-turned finger — dooming the healthcare bill. Audible gasps filled the galleries, which were packed with onlookers.

Oh, of course the intellectual Liberal Schumer is a clairvoyant. Can you just picture it; his glasses on the tip of his nose, squinting devilish eyes, head cocked downward with that "we just crucified Christ" sneer, saying, "I knew how he'd vote." Schumer's Svengali hold over McCain for so many years is truly an enigmatic mystery. Or maybe McCain is channeling Ted Kennedy?

And McCain taking refuge in an elevator to avoid the press? This must me a "first".

Also joining McCain in voting against their own party was Maine's Pretend Republican Susan Collins and Alaska's Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski, of which her vote - I think - is a bit surprising. I thought so, did you?

Pretend Republican and McCain lapdog Lindsey Graham...do I have to finish the sentence? YES - I do...he voted FOR repeal. But, the devil in the details tells me he voted this way knowing ahead of time of how the final vote would come down.

McCain did what he did because he's a petty and vindictive individual. His vote and cajoling of fellow Pretend Republicans is no surprise. McCain is jealous and envious that Donald Trump is the President and McCain hasn't healed, nor will he, in knowing he will never be president.

Still, being Emperor of The North Pole has to be rewarding, doesn't it?

I intended to end the post after the above image. But then I thought - what has Schumer accomplished in all his many years in the Senate.

Well, besides being strongly Alt-Left and always the first person in D.C. to find an MSM microphone and a camera to convey his drivel, he's voted with his party line at the expense of being a total hypocrite. And being a hypocrite never bothers Liberals.

In January 2017, prior to the Trump Inauguration, Schumer said infrastructure tax cuts aren't worth considering.

He did vote for OCare, which can be considered the largest tax hike ever. Why did he vote this way? Because at that time, the president was a Democrat Socialist and Schumer goose-steps along with his fellow Marxists.

In 2014, Schumer called OCare a mistake. His comrades came down on him hard. 

In 2011, Schumer supported tax credits for Higher Education.

May, 2015, saw Schumer supporting corporate tax credits for "clean energy."

July, 2014, Schumer supports tax credits for bio-gas.

August, 2015, Schumer supports tax credits for solar power.

December, 2013, Schumer supports rail tax credits.

March, 2016, Schumer asked Republicans to join the Dems in their support of Obama Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland.

March, 2013,  2017 *, Schumer wanted to filibuster Neil Gorsuch, Trump nominee for the Supreme Court.

In 2007, Schumer threatened to block all Supreme Court nominees of then-President George W. Bush.

Enough. Schumer does whatever is politically and personally expedient. Nothing that anyone paying attention doesn't already know.

Groucho, left; Karl, right. No, they were not related.

Cluck Schumer: "Wealth-fare for the country clubs and board rooms."

From US News:

"It seems that President Trump and Republicans have designed their plan to be cheered in the country clubs and the corporate boardrooms," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said on the Senate floor Wednesday, describing the proposal as "wealth-fare."

Schumer, puts on his "I hate corporations" public face, but he certainly hasn't refused taking their campaign donations: The Hill; April 2015:  

Sen. Chuck Schumer, who will become the Senate’s top Democrat in 2017, could become one of the greatest fundraisers of all time.

The New York Democrat has developed a reputation as a tenacious money magnet who doesn’t take no for an answer. When handed a $25,000 check, he’s been known to respond, “You can do a little better than that.”

From the not-leaning-to-the-Right CBS News, in June, 2011:

Yet outside the public eye, Schumer was one of the biggest beneficiaries of Wall Street money that Congress had ever seen.

Is lowering the corporate tax rate going to result in an improved economy and create jobs? (Big Breath...)...and you already know the answer, " it depends. " 

Schumer was there in 2008, eager to bailout his Wall Street cronies.   The NY Times, December 2008:

As the financial crisis jolted the nation in September, [Schumer]  -  became one of the first officials to promote a Wall Street bailout. He spent hours in closed-door briefings and a weekend helping Congressional leaders nail down details of the $700 billion rescue package.

Schumer isn't unique in politics to play all sides for the benefit of self-interest. That he does it so blatantly, with such avarice ("You can do better than that.") and such sanctimony and no shame, is simply amazing. Schumer knows the country clubs and boardrooms just as well as the "corporatists". I think he'd accept campaign cash from Kim Jong-Un if he could.

Schumer got THOUSANDS in donations from Jeff Epstein. It's "all about the Benjamins", right Chucky?

"Anything for money" Clucky

NY Post: Schumer got thousands in donations from Jeffrey Epstein.

Sen. Chuck Schumer — who called on Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta to resign and said President Trump should “answer” for his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein — accepted thousands of dollars in donations from the alleged pedophile throughout the 1990s, The Post has learned.

Federal Election Commission records show that Schumer received seven $1,000 donations from Epstein between 1992 and 1997, first as a US congressman from New York and then when he was vying to be the state’s senator in 1998, an election he won.

Epstein... also gave $10,000 to Victory in New York, a joint fundraising committee established by Schumer and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

Epstein gave an additional $5,000 to Win New York, a Schumer-associated joint committee that benefited the Liberal Party of New York state.
[.]
That means Schumer and Schumer-linked entities received a combined $22,000.

Time to check the flight manifests for Epstein island and see if Chucky traveled there. Why not. Schumer would be demanding the same if it were any other person.

Vaxxed and Boosted Amy Schumer has Covid!

Yahoo (Archived): Amy Schumer tests positive for COVID-19 — just a few days about joking about feeling a 'little smug' about not having caught it yet.

Amy Schumer has COVID-19, the comedian revealed in a since-deleted Instagram post on Saturday. The Life & Beth star was forced to cancel her appearance at the Netflix is a Joke festival Saturday night, though she did perform at the festival on Friday prior to testing positive.
[.]
...Schumer's COVID-19 bout comes just days after she marveled that she hadn't yet tested positive for it during an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers Wednesday night. After Meyers pointed out that she's one of the few people he knows who had yet to get COVID, Schumer jokingly pointed to the sky and quipped, "[God's] looking out."

"I'm a little smug about it," she joked. "I haven't had it yet."

But she's vaxxed and boosted, why would she think she'd get teh Coof? Doesn't she trust the science behind this miraculous vaccine?

Hey Amy, next time maybe show some smugness about not yet having an Aortic aneurysm? That would be hysterical! 🤣🤣🤣

She's some cousin to filthy POS deranged liberal NY Senator Cluck Schumer. This just adds so much more the the Karma love.

Schumer's smugness is akin to double vaxxed and double boosted "comedian" People (Archived): Heather McDonald's stage fall and skull fracture after saying she's double vaxxed, double boosted and hasn't caught covid because God loves her the most:

Sweet, delicious, savory, bountiful Schadenfreude.

Schumer under investigation.

RVM News: Chuck Schumer Under Investigation for Threats Against Supreme Court Justices. 

In a letter dated January 21, 2025, [Interim D.C. U.S. Attorney Ed] Martin confirmed that a “preliminary inquiry” had been opened into Schumer’s statements.

“We take threats against public officials very seriously. I look forward to your cooperation,” Martin wrote in the letter, which was addressed directly to Schumer.

Schumer has previously made comments suggesting political retribution against opponents.

In 2017, during the early stages of the Russia investigation, he warned that President Donald Trump was making a mistake by challenging U.S. intelligence agencies.

“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer said in an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.

Good. Put everything this traitor has done and said under a microscope. Let him spend the next four years and all his waking hours defending himself in a series of multiple, ongoing investigations. Let's hope Adam Schiff gets the same treatment.

Rand Paul just shat on the dems and rinos $40 Billion Ukraine Aid Gibsme.

Daily Caller: Rand Paul Just Hit The Brakes On $40 Billion Ukraine-Aid Package.

Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul stymied efforts by the Senate to pass a $40 billion military and humanitarian aid package for Ukraine.

Paul blocked the votes Thursday, objecting to an amendment vote on his proposal by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Republican Leader Mitch McConnell.

The Kentucky senator wants the aid bill’s language to be changed to require an inspector general to oversee spending on Ukraine. Schumer and McConnell’s offer would have required Paul’s provision to get 60 votes in order for the amendment to the bill to occur, according to The Hill.

Under the Senate’s rules, it only takes one senator to object, the outlet reported.
[.]
Schumer blasted Paul, saying the senator was acting as if it was “my way or the highway.”

"Schumer blasted Paul, Schumer blasted Paul." Oh - it's different now, eh, from when Schumer blocked John Cornyn and Richard Blumenthal's bi-partisan Prescription drug bill from passing. Oh, but's different now, huh Chucky. Tough shit. Seethe. Cope.

McConnell doing his usual worthless, spineless performance of a politician. Step aside Mitch and let a real Conservative do your job.

Good for Senator Paul.

I hope this bill dies. It shouldn't have gotten this far, it shouldn't have ever been created.

Schumer and Pelosi: Political Reruns from 8,9 and 10 Years ago.

Some days, it's like I'm still living between the years 2005 - 2009 regarding Cluck Schumer.

And, some days, it's  like I'm still living between the years 2006 - 2009 regarding Nanny Pelosi.

Schumer and Pelosi are nothing but political Reruns. To think that I'm still writing about them, and their  obstructionism, nine and ten years later is a Giant Blot on the American Body Politic.

  These two are like the old joke about
  herpes.

  What's the difference between Chuck
  Schumer and Nancy Pelosi from that of
  herpes?"

  Answer: Both are very painful and never
  go away on a permanent basis.

Cluck is back enumerating his talking points as he always has; eyeglasses resting at the end of his Super-Sized Large Beak: The Bezos Daily:

"First, if accurate, a disclosure of this type could threaten the United States’ relationships with allies who provide us with vital intelligence and could result in the loss of this specific intelligence source. . . . Second, if accurate, such a disclosure could damage our interests in the Middle East. We do not collaborate with Russia in Syria or elsewhere in the Middle East for the simple fact that we have diverging interests. . . . And third, if the report is true....["]

Well, we know Cluck is capable of listing THREE, count 'em THREE reasons, over the overblown and hyperbolic "crisis" of President Donald Trump in disclosing alleged highly classified information in a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in the White House last week.

This feigned outrage from The Left over classified or de-classified information reminds me of, what is probably, a little known film, "Wrong Is Right." 

It's really a good film that flew under the radar in terms of being a financial success or one of film critic's better reviews. It was also way ahead of its time. If you can find it, watch it and see how it parallels the politics and media of today.

In it, Sean Connery plays a globe-trotting television reporter. In the film, Connery's character meets with the President of the United States (played wonderfully as both "low-key" and "intense" by George Grizzard), and has a long conversation after which, the president says to Connery, "By the way, the conversation we just had is classified."

Connery's character asks, "Who classified it and when?"

The President: "I did, and just now."

And that is exactly the kind of discretion and prerogative any president has in de-classifying classified information.

And now, returning to Pelosi, parroting the same false narrative  as the other goo-covered members of her party. Washington Examiner:

[Pelosi] wondered aloud "what the Russians have on him" that would make Trump do this.

It's Pelosi who has some explaining to do. Daily Mail:

[Pelosi was asked] about whether she had ever met the current Russian ambassador, Sergey Kisliak.
[.]
'Not with this Russian ambassador, no,' was Pelosi's response.
[.]
Within hours, a photo surfaced showing Pelosi seated around the same table as the peripatetic ambassador.
[.]
Pelosi's spokesman, Drew Hammill, [in defending Pelosi said], 'Of course [what] she meant,' [was] she  never had a private one-on-one with him.'

Who buys this BS other than Liberals and The Media who happily carry the water bucket for The Insane Liberal Clown Posse.

"Not with the Russian ambassador, no."  "NO."  But then it turns to "YES" when shown proof she did meet with him, she's standing almost next to him, the two of them shaking hands.

"What she meant was..." that she didn't meet with him in "private. One on
one."

"What I meant was..." is always the fallback phrase from Liberals when caught in a lie.

And, totally off topic: You have noticed Cluck Schumer's frontal hair "plugs", haven't you? It looks like he went to the same failed hair reconstruction surgeon as his fellow Lib Joe "The Plagiarist" Biden.

But let us return to splitting hairs in not meeting someone that you did, indeed, meet: 

"Dave, have you ever met Two Dogs?"

"No. Never."

"Dave, we have a photograph of you and Two Dogs seated at the bar at TGIF."

"Oh, that...I thought you meant did I ever meet with him one on one."

This double-speak hair splitting with words from Liberals is just another variation of the definition of "what is is":

The sanctimony displayed on The World Stage by the ilks of Schumer, Pelosi and all the other members of The Insane Clown Posse are a laughing stock to the rest of the world.

All of America's Liberals contract a sudden case of hardcore amnesia on the GOLDMAN SACHS SPEECH from Hillary Clinton on the subject of her admiration for Russia and Vladimir Putin:

“I would love it if we could continue to build a more positive relationship with Russia,” Clinton said during a speech to Goldman Sachs on June 4, 2013. In the same speech, Clinton said “obviously we would very much like to have a positive relationship with Russia and we would like to see Putin be less defensive toward a relationship with the United States so that we could work together on some issues."

"...so that we could work together on some issues."

Doesn't that sound damn close to Trump's, "Wouldn't it be nice if we could get along with Russia"?

Of course it does. The Drama Queen Act from Liberals is old, very very old. It doesn't work anymore, yet, they keep doing the same thing year after year.

It's like I'm caught in Liberal Reruns from 8,9,10 and more years ago. Hold on...I am caught in Liberal Reruns. We all are.

Will and when Hillary replace Biden?

100% Fed Up: Democrat Plot To Replace Biden Before Election REVEALED (Source: DailyMail).

I know some of you still don’t believe it will happen, but just keep watching.

Charlie Spiering from the Daily Mail had the exclusive report and published it today over at the DailyMail:

    The Great Joe Biden Replacement Theory – I talk to Democrats about why the idea that he will be replaced refuses to go away and what it would take to actually replace himhttps://t.co/HjeRLWxB6g

Dom Lucre reports the following:

    BREAKING NEWS: The DailyMail just revealed a secret Democrat plot to replace Joe Biden before the election. Bill Clinton, President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer ‘will topple the aging President.’

    The DailyMail has revealed that if Joe loses in the first debate with Trump or if his polling numbers keep falling, it’ll take a united front of the liberal grandees to make Joe throw in the towel.

    The only people who could force him out would be Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer,’ one Democratic strategist told the Mail. ‘It would have to be the four of them collectively.’

    Mrs. Obama, who has no close personal feelings for the Bidens, according to one well-connected Democratic source, flat-out ignored the invitation.

    strategists [sic] theorize that Democrats would have to hold a public event to symbolically transfer power from Biden to the new candidate, at which Biden, Obama, Clinton, Schumer, and Pelosi would publicly introduce and endorse the anointed nominee.

Daily Mail:  How Clinton, Obama, Pelosi and Schumer would topple the aging President… and when they'd do it.

Big Mike won't replace Biden. It'll be Cankles.

The Pants Suit is now opting for wearing bed-sheets. 

Why Is Hillary Clinton Wearing a Bedsheet At The Tony Awards? 

Don't ignore her Baphomet hand gesture. This is not unintentional, it's deliberate.

Sad McCain and Cluck Schumer are both "troubled..."

Both Sad John McCain and Cluck Schumer say they are "troubled."

This reminds me of the numerous times that both Harry Reid and Joe Lieberman would say the same thing. They were "troubled...." about something or other regarding the George W. Bush Admin.

So, Sad McCain is "troubled" by the Trump Tower bugging and Russia: 

“There’s a lot of things about our relations with Russia that trouble me a lot,” Mr. McCain said.

Why does this alleged Republican go out of his way, consistently, against his own party or, rather, why does he feel the need to join the chorus of the Liberal Insane Clown Posse?

Because he is bitter. His bitter bid (no pub intended) for the White House failed. Well, when you run a campaign as poorly as his, as tedious and mundane as his - you lose the race.

Bob Doles' bid for the White House was an exciting, 4th of July fireworks spectacular compared to that of McCain.

And as a side note, I always found it fascinating that in terms of running for the office of president, up until President Donald Trump, the Democrats owned the internet as a political machine.

Bill Clinton and his people knew the potential of the internet in terms of how to use it as a political tool. As a presidential candidate, Howard Dean and his team took use of the internet as a political tool and moved the goal post even higher; understanding the grassroots connection. Dean and his team also understood and capitalized on the fund-raising factors that the internet brought to them. Barack Obama and his his team brought the use of the internet by the Democrats to its Zenith.

The Democrats OWNED the internet and the Republicans - for more than twenty years - are still scratching their behinds without the slightest idea on how to make the internet work for their campaigns and their message.

But then came Donald Trump, and his Twitter account and he simply Pwned what the Democrats developed using the internet as their very proficient political tool. Trump ripped the 'political ownership' out of them, destroying their dominance and control of the internet as their apparatus.

And he's the only one. Not one single Republican or Libertarian, really, have managed to effectively use the internet as part of their political message and election attempts as have the Democrats. It's like the Republican's can't figure out how the internet can help them. Well, they don't have to figure it out. Copy how Bill Clinton used it. Copy Howard Dean. Copy Barack Obama. Copy Donald Trump.

How the Republicans can't manage to figure out how to use the internet is one big enigma to me. But I digress...

Back to CLUCK SCHUMER.

The very Liberal and partisan Cluck Schumer finds that he too, is "troubled.": 

[Schumer said]  he is concerned by Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s request for resignations from 46 U.S. attorneys appointed by former President Barack Obama.

[.]

“I’m troubled to learn of requests for resignations from the remaining U.S. attorneys, particularly that of Preet Bharara, after the President initiated a call to me in November and assured me he wanted Mr. Bharara to continue...

Awwwwww, poor Cluckie, that's just a shame. The U.S. Attorneys serve at the behest of the President and requesting their resignation, or terminating them if they refuse to resign, IS THE PREROGATIVE OF ANY PRESIDENT AND HIS U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL.

So Sad John and Cluckie, be "troubled." And Cluckie, be "concerned", also.

These two Senators are shining examples from BOTH parties, and are the answer to the question of:  Why doesn't anything GET DONE in Washington."

Biden and Schumer critical of Israel and Netanyahu!

CNN: Schumer; Netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel.

Chuck Schumer criticized the Netanyahu government and called for new elections in a speech on the Senate floor on the Israel-Hamas war.

al-Reuters: Schumer calls for new elections in Israel, criticizes Netanyahu.

The Hill: Biden has called Netanyahu an a‑‑hole 3 separate times.

AP: Biden backs Schumer after senator calls for new elections in Israel.

You're not buying this, are you? 

That Chuck Schebrew is criticizing Israel and Netanyahu? That Biden, who says "I am a Zionist," is critical of Israel, referring to Netanhayu as an "asshole" three times? That Netanyahu is really upset with fellow Tribesman Chuckles and that Bibi is upset with Biden, his gravy train? AYFKM?

It's a psy-op. Optics. This in-fighting is designed and deliberate. It's manufactured. Don't believe it. It's performance theater.

RT: Ukraine ‘losing the war’ – US Senate leader.

Ukraine is failing on the battlefield because of a lack of American funding, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Monday. He demanded the House Republicans pass the $61 billion aid bill as soon as possible.

2024: Schumer: "$61 Billion more for Ukraine NOW!"

DEMS hold America hostage by blocking small business funding.

FOX News (right-click on link and open in new window): Dems block McConnell bid to swiftly approve $250B more for small business fund.

A $250 billion urgent request to shore up a depleting small business fund failed to pass the Senate Thursday after Democrats objected to the measure pushed by the White House and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

With lawmakers home and social distancing, McConnell sought to pass the cash infusion swiftly Thursday by unanimous consent with a skeleton group of senators, but Democrats blocked the effort because they want add-ons to help businesses in disadvantaged communities and an additional $250 billion in funds for other priorities.
[.]
The extra funding is being sought amid concerns that the original $350 billion program to help businesses stay afloat during the coronavirus pandemic could run dry in the near future in the face of an enormous demand.

McConnell pleaded with Democrats to pass a measure that would change the funding for the program from $350 billion to $600 billion total in a "clean" emergency measure.

"My colleagues must not treat working Americans as political hostages. This does not have to be, nor should it be, contentious." McConnell said, adding that lawmakers can pass other COVID-19 legislation in the future.

"Please do not block emergency aid you do not even oppose, just because you want something more," McConnell implored.

But Democrats say they’ve got a better plan[.]
[.]
McConnell accused Democrats of trying to hold paychecks "hostage" and blasted them for trying to push programs that have "zero" chance of passing the House and Senate.

 The actual viral threat.

Democrats have never had "a plan" for anything (other than their own self-enrichment and failed policies), let alone a "better plan."

Republicans are far from perfect - not by a long shot. But I do give them credit for understanding that politics must be set aside in these times in order to successfully preserve the stability of our country.

Cluck Schumer is doing the work in the Senate that Nancy Pelosi tells him to do. She says "jump" and Schumer says, "how high?" Schumer is Pelosi's puppet. Both are evil, America-hating Elitists who don't give a whit about providing assistance to the suffering, hard-working Americans and small businesses.

Not every business owner is a Wealthy Selfish Greedy Republican. There are many Liberals who own businesses. They are suffering economic hardships just like everyone else.

So I ask you, Liberal business owners - are you happy with your Democrat "leadership"? Your businesses are atrophying. Some will never reopen. Your house is burning and the DEMS are nitpicking which water source should be used to put out the flames. Are you happy about that?

Every single DEM needs to be booted out of office at the local, state and federal level this election. Voters need to make DEMS a muted minority party who have zero political power and influence.

“As a part of his regular testing regimen, [] Schumer received a positive test result for COVID-19. [He] is fully vaccinated and double boosted, and has very mild symptoms,” spokesman Justin Goodman said in a statement on Sunday evening. 

..."mild symptoms"...Until they're not?

Covid...do your best!

Rishi Sunak demands answers.

Good luck, Rishi. 

The Guardian: Bernie Sanders to Benjamin Netanyahu: 'Stop murdering innocent people'.

Sanders is Jewish, btw, and I actually believe him, unlike Biden and Chuck Schumer who claim the same (a stern attitude against Netanhyu), but Biden and Schumer are just role-playing, playing off both sides of this issue, both pretending to be critical of Netanyahu.

Schumer urges Trump to accept the emerging border security deal and "not, not, not cause another shutdown."

The Modesto Bee: White House reviewing border security deal.

The White House says it needs more time to assess a bipartisan border security deal.
[.]
10:35 a.m.

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer is urging President Donald Trump to accept the emerging border security deal and "not, not, not cause another shutdown."

A triple "not"? Doesn't that mean Trump should NOT sign the budget with a hideously weakened border deal?

One "not" would mean "not". "Not not" means not to not. "Not not not" means to not not to not. So Trump should NOT sign the deal. Do I have this right?

New Yorkers protest, defending Iran.

NBC New York: Anti-War Protesters Rally Outside Sen. Chuck Schumer’s NYC Apartment.

A group of protesters rallied outside Sen. Chuck Schumer’s Brooklyn apartment in the wake of the U.S. airstrike that killed a top Iranian general. (Can't think of a better place than outside Cluck's apartment. I guess they had to...couldn't get past DeBlasio Warren Wilhelm Jr's gated residence. - DD)

On Friday night, anti-war groups such as the ANSWER Coalition and Democratic Socialists of America met in front of the Senate minority leader’s Park Slope apartment on Prospect Park West to show their displeasure with the killing of Qassem Soleimani.

The protesters claim that the move ultimately amounts to President Trump sounding the drums of war, concerning them that the country may be facing another long war.
[.]
Mayor Bill de Blasio said the heightened security is necessary as the U.S. and Iran are now at a “de facto state of war.”

More rallies are planned across the tri-state and the country on Saturday and over the weekend, including one at Times Square that figures to be larger and louder than the one Friday night. The rallies are expected to address the surge of more than 3,000 troops to the Middle East.

Where were these protesters during the years of drone strikes ordered by Obama which killed so many innocent civilians? Oh - - - it didn't matter then. They were all too busy texting and searching Tinder for a date with their "free" Obama cell phones.

There appears to be a "person of interest" in the abortion draft leak.

He clerks for Sotomayor.

The Ancestory (Archived): Who is Amit Jain?

Amit Jain, a Supreme Court clerk, is accused of putting his job in jeopardy in order to uncover the truth about the abortion draft.
[.]
Amit, the CEO of Sequoia Capital India, is stepping down to follow his passion for entrepreneurship. In a 2017 post for Politico, Josh Gerstein cited him. Today, Gerstein released the proposed SCOTUS Roe opinion.
[.]
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s clerk is Amit Jain, the individual who recently released the abortion draft.

FOX News (Archived): Liberal Alan Dershowitz appalled by the leak.

[Said Dershowitz]: "And I have a theory and it's only a theory: I think this was leaked by a liberal law clerk who is trying to change the outcome of the case – either by putting pressure on some justices to change their mind or by getting Congress to pack the court even before June, which is very unlikely."

Even The Jeff Bezos Peoples' Republic has an Op/Ed from a Bloomberg writer that the leaker should come forward (Archived): The Supreme Court Leaker Should Come Forward.

I do not, as a rule, like leakers. Leakers are liars.

Among such lying leakers I include whoever provided Politico with what is apparently a draft of a majority opinion by Justice Samuel Alito overturning the court’s almost half-century old precedent in Roe v. Wade. Whatever our views of Roe, or of the sphere of choice generally, none of us should be celebrating the leak.

The filthy, repugnant reprobate Liberal POS NY Senator Cluck Schumer, on the other hand, is inconsolable over the possibility of abortion being returned to a decision made by States, not the Federal government.
