The King Has No Cloture

Today, our nation is seeing several “NO Kings!” rallies in select cities.  This latest subject, No-Kings, is an inbred cousin of the other cult management systems developed by the leftist democrats, such as NoICE, Black Lives Matter, De-Fund the Police, Stop the Oligarchy, and AntiFA, all of which take their turns in the national spotlight.

I wonder how many people would show up if all these groups had a combined demonstration?  Are these the same people rebranded and re-masked for each event?  Despite all the different names and causes, they do have one major element in common: They HATE our Constitutional form of government. 

Two of these groups, NoICE and De-Fund the Police, are blatantly opposed to the enforcement of our laws; Stop the Oligarchy and NoKings come close to that process. Black Lives Matter and AntiFA are properly terrorist groups because of their violence. 

It is evident that the people who honor our constitutional form of government have no such hate groups.  Nancy Pelosi tried to create one during the January 6 events; thanks to her lapdog media, she has convinced many people of that. But her committee that was in charge of the investigations (I use that word loosely) deleted and destroyed all the records of their meetings.  How convenient!

And now her winged monkey democrats are blocking the SAVE Act, a law that would require proper identification of voters. Here is where I explain something that we must understand.

The Senate has different rules from the House of Representatives. It encourages debate by having a cloture vote, a formal process that states that the debate is finished.  It requires sixty votes.  So, to have control of the Senate, a party needs sixty votes. 

The Senate sometimes gets around that process by a Senator asking for unanimous consent on a piece of legislation.  If all members agree, cloture is unnecessary, and the proposal moves to a vote by the Senate.  But if one senator objects to the unanimous consent, a cloture vote is necessary.  

Many polling services show that our citizens favor voter identification by a massive margin, yet the democrats are fighting it. If they can’t cheat, they can’t win.

December 1, 2024 On Monday, an 18-story building in San Francisco will be formally dedicated as the “Speaker Nancy Pelosi Federal Building.”  It was built in 2007 and has housed many federal offices for years. To note the new name on the building, it will have its signage changed, sort of getting a new facelift. Wow!  My last newsletter produced zero replies.  Usually, I have ten or more responses within a day from sending a newsletter out, but I received no response from what I thought was an important subject. Maybe it wasn’t a good message for Thanksgiving. Computers:  I have an Apple MacBook Pro, an excellent computer.  But with Apple’s new update, the dictation system is near perfect.  As you talk, it types what you said. It can miss a bit of punctuation and sometimes types gonna instead of going to, but is the best dictation system that I’ve used.  If you have trouble typing, you may wish to check these computers out; their MacBook Airs are just ...

  November 7, 2024 Let’s start off with a reader participation question:  What should be the first three official acts of the new Trump presidency?  You can add more if you wish!  Send your ideas to me. Battle Lines:   Whew, it didn’t take long.  Kamala’s speech was more of a challenge of Trump’s presidency than it was a concession speech.  Now, the ACLU is getting ready for Trump’s next presidency.  I received an email from them today that states the following: “…it's official: Donald Trump has been elected to a second term. “During Trump's first term, my fellow ACLU lawyers and I filed 434 legal actions challenging the Trump administration's catastrophic policies separating families at the border, denying immigrant minors access to abortion care, greenlighting discrimination against LGBTQ people, and more.” and “I know that I speak for every attorney here at the ACLU when I say that we're more than ready to show up and put up the fight of the ce...

A year ago, a woman set  fire to a building that was under construction in Casper, Wyoming. The building was going to be an abortion clinic and the arsonist was anti-abortion, so some wanted the crime of arson to include a hate crime enhancement.  But it was argued that the building was a construction site, not yet an abortion clinic, so the hate crime enhancement would not be justified.  The pro-abortion people then realized the irony of their request, that by claiming the buil...
