We all know what’s wrong with the Democrats and the Biden administration. Every day we all observe and experience the impact of inflation and crime. We are impacted by how this feckless administration has no idea what to do about Russia or China or our own national security as it proceeds to make everything more dangerous and unpredictable.
Even elected Democratic officials and their own grassroots know that the woke catastrophe engulfing the nation cannot continue as more and more flee the party of chaos, cancel culture, defunding the police, and open borders.
Earlier this month we all heard about Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema leaving the Democratic Party and registering as an Independent. Everyone hearing about it may have been the point as she considers the best way to keep her job as the so-called progressive left increase their strangulating grip on the throat of her former party.
In an Arizona Central opinion piece, Sinema explained, “Pressures in both parties pull leaders to the edges, allowing the loudest, most extreme voices to determine their respective parties’ priorities and expecting the rest of us to fall in line. When politicians are more focused on denying the opposition party a victory than they are on improving Americans’ lives, the people who lose are everyday Americans. That’s why I have joined the growing numbers of Arizonans who reject party politics by declaring my independence from the broken partisan system in Washington.”
The bar has been low for Senator Sinema and West Virginia’s Joe Manchin. All they need to do is not be insane to be considered “moderate.” The two lawmakers have been thorns in the side of the Democratic Party establishment since it abandoned its responsibility to the American people by genuflecting to its extremist progressive minority. Progressive, by the way, is simply a new label for the old Marxist agenda which had to distance itself from its own history of failed policies and collapsed nations. They know what they’re doing and the impact it has. We see it all around us. But there is no change, just new packaging. “Progressive” is the proverbial lipstick on a pig. And yet, Sinema is widely expected to continue to caucus with the Democrats.
The heat is now turned up for Joe Manchin who answered a reporter’s question on the issue that he has no plans “right now” to leave the Democratic Party while adding, “You never know what the future will bring.”
Leaving the Democratic Party is now more in vogue than ever. After the midterm election failed to send a strong signal to the Democrats (despite handing the House to the GOP), the lunatic wing of the Democratic Party will have even more power. Fox News reports, “Sinema isn’t the only elected leader who recently made the decision to ditch the Democratic Party. Last week, New York City Councilman Ari Kagan, who was elected to the council in 2021 as a Democrat, announced he would be exiting the party to become a Republican. In West Virginia, state Sen. Glenn Jeffries announced earlier this month he was forgoing his affiliation with the party to join the GOP.” At a news conference Kagan noted, “The Democratic Party in New York was moving to [the] left at such a speed I couldn’t keep up. “It’s not me leaving the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party very quickly started to leave me.”
But the real change has happened with the voters themselves. In June of this year, just a few months before the midterms, PBS reported, “More than 1 million voters across 43 states have switched to the Republican Party over the last year, according to voter registration data analyzed by The Associated Press. The previously unreported number reflects a phenomenon that is playing out in virtually every region of the country — Democratic and Republican states along with cities and small towns — in the period since President Joe Biden replaced former President Donald Trump.”
Voters see what the Democrats are doing to this country. The economy, the crime, the violence, the border, the general chaos, and the absolute catastrophe of foreign policy, has obliterated any hope we had for a safe a decent future. Now, with a House of Representatives controlled by the Republicans, the American people are looking for leadership and results.
Investigative hearings are important and we should have them but we also insist that the Republicans demonstrate that they can chew gum and walk at the same time. Investigations into Hunter Biden are actually investigations into Joe Biden and that should be made clear to the American people.
Instead of committees and investigations being caverns where issues and controversies go to die, we need action taken on what is discovered about the Afghanistan debacle, the origins of COVID, the involvement of our own government in COVID’S development, the catastrophe at the border, to name just a few. Many argue the midterms were weak because Americans have yet to see what the GOP stands for and what they’re willing to do to save the country. Let’s make sure the Republicans know that we are partisans—for the United States—and we expect them to deliver more than the reality television of hearings.
It doesn’t matter if 300,000,000 votes are for conservative candidates because the left will cheat, steal and “win” any election and nobody in Congress cares.
Manchineel won’t leave the party. He is a party toad. Besides his wife is still employed by the White House.
I agree
she speaks as a Democrat, she failed us on several occasions, she needs to show us her support lip service does not count, show me I’m from Missouri,Sorry. EuR
Forget the investigation business,do something positive for the American people once. This old man and the Dems don’t care about we the people,all they want is power and control. You should have enough legal negligence to take this guy to court, if you still have the spine
Don’t make the mistake thinking Sinema is any less of a left wing socialist. She’s only going independent because that’s the biggest voting block here in Arizona.
She will always caucus with the Democrats.
Exactly!
I wish voters between the ages of 60 and 100+ particularly in east coast states (NY, NJ, DE, PA, MA, CT in particular) would wake up and realize that today’s Democratic party is not the same party that they remembered in their younger days. That’s part of the problem.
Why blame it on 60+ people. Most people I know over 60 are very conservative. It’s the gen-Z techies that have no morals or principles that would steer them conservative.
My 92 year old mother lives in subsidized senior care and says ALL her friends voted Republican this year. What changed their minds was the weekly trip to the grocery store. It’s not hard for them to notice how quickly the Dems have destroyed their meager budget.
I believe that we have to do a better job reaching the young first time voters who are falling for all of this FREE stuff democrats are trying to sell them there is no such thing as free the taxpayers have to pay for it
This may or may not be positive. Who knows how she will vote as an “independent”. We don’t just need more moderates leaving the party but more hard line radicals. Of course the radicals are blinded by the lies and deceit. Until the “average” voter wakes up and stops supporting these tyrants, nothing will change. Only God can save America now. Pray and pray hard.
From the Grammar Grump at Substack: Sinema is a U.S. Senator from Arizona, not an Arizona Senator.
I disagree, I believe the Dems know exactly what they are doing, can you not see their design for USA? It is obvious. The godless communists have been guiding USA into destruction ever so slowly that the middle class of USA to busy working have not felt the pain of the change until now. Brace yourselves for the pain will continue to increase at an accelerated pace to a point where we either fold or reach out to God to save us. The choice is ours to make, where do you stand?
But, why didn’t they vote Republican in the midterm election and is the AZ election going to be corrected. If so, I hope the senate will turn Republican.
Deception is the art of war and you are the enemy!
by you – do you mean the God loving people of the great USA?
She is still a Democrat. I could care less what party you belong to. I look at how you vote on the issues. Whether you “represent” the “people” or not. Nine times out of ten, they don’t. They represent what is profitable for themselves.
With all eyes on Sinema after she left the D party, she’s too smart to go back to being “encouraged” to vote for all D legislation. They’re barely speaking to her now. People will judge her based on what she brings to her state and to her people, which is her job. And, of course, if staying in her Senate seat is “profitable” for her, then she will listen to her constituents, even if they want something different than you and I want in our states. As a border state, though, I should think she’s had it up to here, like all the rest of us.
To Kim , Good comment, good reasoning , not just about Kyrsten Sinema, but any of the Democrats who are in that situation. The far left, ultra liberal Democrats are despicable, so the Democrats who are not far left, ultra liberal, I think an analogy with who is who in China makes sense – and that would be it is realistic to think that the most anti – Chinese Communist people on earth would be those Chinese people living in China who are having to deal with the evil communist system on a first hand basis. So, regarding the Democrats leaving their party, as President Ronald Reagan said ” Trust but verify ” Those Democrats who are truly getting good sense , will need to prove it. The others , well, they are what they are, and that is not to be trusted in the political sense .
I believe in the principles of Honor, Honesty, Integrity, Courage, Loyalty, those principles should set the standard for political responsibility.
My understanding is that this Senator is a committed Left Wing Communist according to her history in politics. She is a moderate when necessary to become elected. I think that is a larger story than the one being promoted by the media and the opposition.
Recently: Nogales, AZ 8 major Fentanyl busts, 1.5 million pills. Benson, AZ major Human smuggling busts of 14 illegals in a back of a pick up truck at a gas station. Border Crossings: Ajo, AZ, 500 immigrants from 14 countries, Yuma,AZ: in one week had more than 6,400 illegals from 46 different countries.
AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS DEMANDING THAT THE SHIPPING CONTAINERS IN YUMA MUST BE REMOVED AS TITLE 42 is about to go away.
MAYORKAS SAID HE IS GOING TO CLOSE BORDER GAPS! SEEMS I HEARD THAT FROM HIM BEFORE AND YET HERE WE ARE.
SO IS SINEMA GOING TO HELP AND BRING LEGISLATION TO PROTECT OUR BORDERS ESPECIALLY IN AZ?
I applaud her stand against the democrat/communist party.
She’s not standing against anything. She us just trying to save her seat in Congress. She will continue to vote the same way as she has done in the past.
I am afraid you are absolutely correct.
True the Democrats are total looneys and their are no more “blue dogs” left; they’ve all been backstabbed out. Sinema is not so much a “moderate” as SMART: she knows Democrats eat their own especially if you do not 100% tow the party line; even her 95% “with” record isn’t good enough! Unlike Manchin, who is more popular in West Virginia, she’s worried about being primaried out. Running as an “independent” if the party tries, they split the Democrat vote allowing any Republican to win. Its never about the “people” but always about KEEPING THEIR JOB aka power.
This is a trojan horse. Sinema, as a “moderate” voted over 95% of the time with the progressives. This is a ploy to salvage her senate seat in the next election. Mark Kelly ran as an independent in Arizona on his first election and has since voted 97% with the progressives. This move is not going to change a thing.
You are right on her voting record but it is nice to hear a democrat admit they have gone too far.
Great, good for her. I have just two questions:
Make no mistake, Sinema is a committed Leftist. She is a co-sponsor of the disgusting Amnesty Bill, along with that Quisling, Thom Tillis.
And stop calling Joe Manchin a “moderate.” He’s still a member of the Progressive-Socialist Party.
‘Nuff said.
As they did before the mid-terms predicting a massive Red Wave — a Red Tsunami — they have gone ahead and announced their plans to launch various investigations before they even take control of the House. Way to go guys! It’s been widely reported that those parties likely affected are already lawyering-up and planning a strong defense.
Count on vital documents and social media posts disappearing, along with credible witnesses, who the coroner will declare died from “multiple blunt force trauma to the skull” while taking a shower at home. The Republicans have an inborn talent for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
It’s a finely tuned skill they have honed from decades of practice. Trump had “The Art of the Deal highlighting how to succeed in business on an international scale. The establishment Republicans in Congress have “the Art of Turning Victory into Defeat in Record Time” to highlight how they telegraph their plans w-a-y ahead of time, miss golden opportunities repeatedly and trip over their own feet walking across the aisle to help Democrats score expensive, destructive wins against the American people.
In all honesty, Elon Musk releasing Twitter dumps does more to highlight the means, patterns and people used by the Democrats, the MSM and the administrative state to influence outcomes than any carefully choreographed series of dog and pony show congressional hearings is ever going to uncover.
