Shutdown

CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tus6VzGtuXY [:35] to hear then-Senator Clinton declare, unequivocally, that illegals should not get free health care.

Democrats are lying. They are demanding free health care for illegals. Why should anyone be surprised about this? CLICK https://x.com/Geiger_Capital/status/1973567193989390673 [:10] to see every one of the Democratic presidential wannabes endorse the idea.

CLICK https://x.com/DogRightGirl/status/1973553715631292738 to hear Hakeem Jeffries state, unequivocally, that “Not a single undocumented immigrant in this country gets a dime in Federal taxpayer dollars for any part of comprehensive Medicaid coverage.”

In his statement, Jeffries lies by using the logical fallacy known as amphiboly. The words he said are technically true; illegals don’t get Medicaid “dimes” handed to them. However, what he means for us to infer from his statement – i.e., that illegals aren’t getting free health care courtesy of American taxpayers – is false. Medicaid sends all payments directly to the providers.

Despite being responsible for shutting down the government, legislators will still get their paychecks and there’s nothing we can do about it, because their pay (as well as the president’s) are mandated in the Constitution. Active duty military have to continue working. They won’t get paid until after the shutdown ends.

Schumer is 74 years old! What IS it with these people that they refuse to retire and let younger people step up to the plate? My father was a coach. He always made sure his second and third string got playing time, so they could develop their skills and move up when the first stringers got injured or graduated.

IMO, AOC is only able to threaten Schumer because he never let the second stringers in party leadership take their rightful place while he, Biden, Pelosi, and the rest of the geriatric horde stepped back to serve as mentors and cheerleaders before gracefully retiring.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune says of Schumer, “Chuck’s in a really tough spot. I mean, he cut this deal with a lot of these left-wing special interest groups. And I think that’s unfortunate, but it is because he’s feeling pressure on his hard left. But I think there are a lot of reasonable Democrats in the middle. I mean, we’re hearing from him, Greta. We’re hearing from through my colleagues. They’re reaching out. People want an off-ramp. They want a way out of this box canyon that Chuck Schumer has marched them into.”
