Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, as a Democratic Socialist sleaze, from the county sized state of Rhode Island, has always been an intellectually corrupt political hack.

Is there any wonder that these Democratic Socialist fools, like Sheldon Whitehouse, have put this Representative Republic into great peril?

Will McCarthy be all talk and no "do" as he was on the last budget fight? I hope he will exhibit some backbone this time, and am keeping my fingers crossed, but I wonder. He did not even remove the 87,000 newe IRS stormtroopers from the budget that time and only got a little useless window dressing.

One could argue that Speaker McCarthy is brave to "enter the lions den" of the Democratic Socialist Propagandist Media, but I have a different mind on the subject: I would think it would be a blast to battle these Non Journalist Fools, armed with no more than one's superior and honest brain.

I personally would enjoy that, he adrenaline pumping and the battle of wits, armed only with the real truth enjoined.

As a long serving (real) Republican county commissioner, I understand local politics quite well, and what we may have the beginnings of is a veritable "canary in the coal mine" effect, where Democrats are acting on what they might well have long known: The wise (real) Republicans fix the failings of the Democratic Socialists ... but this time it is different ... The vapid Democratic Socialists may be at the beginning stages of being finished.

Hopefully, they will take the RINOs down with them.

Here is who really NEEDS term limits; the Speaker of the NC House and the President Pro Tem of the Senate. There is way too much power concentrated in those offices to the detriment of individual legislators and their constituents. Has Perry introducted any legislation on that? No, he hasn't.

For a century, there was a honor system in the NC House of one term Speakers, which prevented a concentration of power. Then Democrat Liston Ramsey decided he was going to be Speaker for life and in the process became an obnoxious dictator. A group of conservative and good government Democrats led by Joe Mavretic joined with Republicans to oust Ramsey and elect Mavretic as speaker. Unfortunately, our last two GOP Speakers have turned out to be Ramsey wannabees, and that is not good for the state or the GOP.

In the Senate, there was no concentration of power because Senate power was divided between the Lieutenant Governor and the President Pro Tem. When Jim Gardner was elected as a GOP Lt. Governor, the Democrats stripped him of most of his legislative power and concentrated it in President Pro Tem Marc Basnight, who became another little dictator. Unfortunately, Republicans have followed in Basnight's footsteps and kept too much power concentrated.

Term limits on these offices, even if only two or three terms, would do a lot to end this concentration of power.

Some states, including North Carolina have taken care of such problems by passing statutes dictating who a governor can appoint for such a vacancy. Does Kentucky have veto-proof majorities to do that? McConnell is awful and needs to go.

The best of elected Republicans have always known that Democratic Socialists were very poor at simple math (especially at budget time), but no preponderance of that group ever considered that science was yet another weak subject for the Democratics until just a scant few years back during the Covid Years.

Yeah CV, with these Leftists, there is always some clichéd boogie man waiting to get you, and often it can be just a very successful Republican president, like Donald Trump.

This may be the last of these Department of Interior posts that will published here until whatever administration begins to concentrate on the National parks themselves, and less about the politics of spending money on frivolous goals and ideals.

I am a profound nature guy and I did give it a shot to impress our audience; it did not.
