Haven't used those propagandists at Google for years. There are better and more honest alternatives out there which do not invade your privacy like Google does. Even my Android smart phone is de-Googled, all the Google crap taken off of it and replaced with stuff from privacy-oriented providers.

How Sadler structured his core team differntly this time than last indicates a more racially focused governance. His 2023 team is much less diverse than his 2021 team, both as to the absence of a token white and to the absence of any blacks who have a mind of their own.

In 2021, his core team and political slate he pushed on election day were Richard Brooks, a barely literate black man who was easy to lead and would do as he was told, Mike Renn, a white white with drinking problems who owed his council seat to Sadler and would do as he was told, and William Pitt, a knowledgable and experienced black incumbent with a record of making up his own mind and of representing all of the city, not just one segment.

Sadler broke with Pitt because it quickly became clear that Pitt would do what he thought best, not what Sadler told him to do. Renn's drinking problams got to the point that he was probably not electable, so he did not run again this year.

The 2021 team incluced an experienced black leader who represented the whole community and a white guy. Sadler's 2023 team excludes both of those groups.

Two well qualifired black candidates who had minds of their own, filed for the council tis year, Leesa Jones and William Pitt, but Sadler had no use for either of them on his slate.

Three more liberal whites also filed, but Sadler did not back any of them either, incumbnet Lou Hodges, and newcomers Ellen Brabo and Mary Beedle. Hodges sometimes displayed a mind of her own, and that was likely enough for Sadler not to put her on his slate. Brabo's first allegiance was to the Chamber of Commerce, and Sadler seems adverse to divided loyalties. While Beedle would probably have jumped on the opportunity to play the Renn role, Sadler apparently never asked her.

It is never good for any elected executive to have a rubber stamp legsilative body like the city council, but that is exactly what Washington has now. Sadler has a reputation of being very secretive about his plans, so it remains to be seen what he will use this power for and just how bad it will be.

What a travesty. Even moderate liberals capable of thinking for themselves like Brabo and Beedle lost. I would be happey with a council majority not in the mayor's hip pocket, even if they were liberals. Now we have two more Richard Brooks, and Brooks never knew whether he was coming or going and had to be told how to vote. Taxpayers should have turned out to vote in greater numbers.

Most of us want a doctor free to give us their own independent medical opinions, not one constrained by corporate policy of a big medical conglomerate. We saw too much of that in Covid.

Oh, and here is another "coincidence". On that $200,000 check from James Biden to Joe Biden, James Biden just happened to receive a $200,000 wire transfer THE SAME DAY from a failing hospital corporation that the Bidens had convinced they could generate some financial revenue for. www.thegatewaypundit.com.

And Joe is stonewalling turning over any evidence of the "loans".

If these were Republicans, the partisan hacks of the MSM would be all over this, Instead, they are trying to make it go away.

Looks like those subpoenas to James and Hunter Biden to explain these checks are on the way. Enjoy! www.dailymail.co.uk

The existance of any "loans" here do not track with Biden's tax filings. I am sure the House investigators will supoena any records from these folks that would document the existance of any real "loans" and will find none.

It would not surprise me to see Biden's corrupt DOJ try to investigate the Congressional investigators, just like they have been caught doing in a fishing expedition against GOP Congressional investigators who were exposing the Democrats' Trump / Russia hoax

Good riddance is right. We need to get rid of more establishment RINOs like Granger. Several more of the anti-Jordan cabal are drawing primary challengers, so hopefully we will see more of them go down.

The corrupt purchase with taxpayer money of two substandard lots from Sadler crony Richard Brooks, a council member who should have abstained and recused himself but did not is well documented. I hope Ceres has the technical ability to post the deeds online for all to see, as well as the minutes.

Grooming children for deviant lifestyles should not be happening in our schools. Whatever it takes to stop this from happening needs to be done. We need action, not mere words.

Mental Health commitment proceedings can remove a crazy person from instruments of harm to themselves or others, and not just guns. They can also commit a crazy person to a mental health facility. That was what was needed in the Maine case but nobody did it.

Also, mass shootings usually happen in gun free zones, where the shooter expects that no one will be armed to shoot back. The bowling alley in this case was, you guessed it . . . a gun free zone. www.breitbart.com

Johnson is the most conservative House speaker in decades and a member of the Freedom Caucus. This is a very positive development for conservatives and Republicans.

THey all need primary opponents. Throw the bums out!

Murphy is less impressive all the time. He voted for that pathetic McCarthy sellout to Biden on the debt ceiling. Walter Jones would have never done that to us. Murphy has also joined in the far left's cancel culture against southern heritage. I hope he has a substantial primary opponent this time.

There do not seem to be any consequences for FBI, DOJ, and crooked partisan prosecutors lying. They seem to get away with it all the time. Also, Biden. There is another one for whom lying is a regular part of his life.

These sour grapes Scalise thugs need to be primaried if they keep up this nonsense. The Republican base is really pissed.

I hope that some Republican governors jump into action like in Florida and Texas and tell these traitors that if they keep playing the Democrat gaem, the governors will personally back primary oppoents for them next year and remvoe the despicable scoundrels from office. Governor should give them a day to think about the consequences to their political career before going public after them.

Are various Islmaic jihadist groups preent in the US? That is a certainty due to 1) Biden has made it incredibly easy for them to get in and 2) there are even more Jewish people in the United States than there are in Israel.

Indeed, a video has recently resurfaced on hundreds of Muslim children in TEXAS pledging their support for Islamic martyrdom. www.breitbart.com

Jewish people are already being targeted by Muslim jihadists in Europe. In Berlin, they are even painting Stars of David on the homes of Jews to mark their targets and intimidate people. No wonder their is a run on guns in the US in places with a heavy Jewish population like south Florida. Unfortunately in Berline, Hitler's Reich Gun Law of 1938 is still in force and Jewish folks there can't buy guns.
