    House Democrats elect Hakeem Jeffries to succeed Nancy Pelosi - ABC News (go.com)

    Pleased to see the Democrats are able to forge ahead, united, to do the people's business these next few years.
    Thanks to Nancy Pelosi and her team, who had the wisdom to step aside and let these 'younger' folks take the lead.
    Jeffries and Clark, both in their 50s, with Clark the older, and in his 40s, the first Hispanic to take a lead, Mr. Aguilar is only 43

    I don't have much faith in the Republican strategy - they have behaved badly for the last two years - they haven't learned this is not how most of us want our governing body to behave - they get all the crappy sound bites - but what they've accomplished will not go down in history. This party and their followers love to blame and find fault over and over, but they did not accomplish much when they did have control of the house and the senate, and they had a Republican president - I don't see these next two years doing much for their side of the aisle.

    Leopards don't often change their spots. Nor do rats.

    BREAKING: Democratic Arizona Secretary of State and Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs’ top deputy threatened the Mohave County Board of Supervisors with prosecution if it didn’t certify her election results before a Monday deadline, according to emails and documents reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

    Arizona State Elections Director Kori Lorick wrote several letters and emails to members of the board, warning them of criminal charges if the refused to certify the results in time. The letters included threats of lawsuits against the members for “nonfeasance,” as well, per the emails.

    Forging ahead. LoL

    West Virginia state Democrat Sen. Glenn Jeffries has switched to the Republican Party, resulting in the GOP getting a majority in the chamber.
    Jeffries in his announcement Thursday appeared to avoid any partisan explanation for his switch.

    “Our politics have gotten so personal and difficult," he said. "I want to make sure that I serve constituents and our state in a respectful, thoughtful way that leads to a better life for all West Virginians."

    The Putnam County Republican Executive Committee first announced Jeffries' switch and welcomed him into the entire state GOP party.

    "Senator Jeffries has proven himself to be a very hard worker for Putnam County," said Tony Hodge, the committee chairman and co-chairman of the state party.

    Forging ahead!

    You win some and you lose some.:D

    The trumpsters stick around here for a while, but as it becomes more and more obvious just what he is and what he does--they soon depart. I'm sure that the present cultist will be gone pretty soon. It just becomes ridiculous to try and defend the right wing and DJT eventually.:D

    You guys are so blind that you can't see the train that's about to run you over. And that's too bad because it's really going to hurt.:D

    Since 1981, federal budget deficits have increased under Republican presidents Reagan, both Bushes and Trump, while deficits have declined under Democratic presidents Clinton and Obama. The unemployment rate has fallen on average under Democratic presidents, while it has risen on average under Republican presidents. Over the last 70 years, real GDP growth averaged just over 2.5% under Republicans and a little more than 4.3% under Democrats. Ten of the eleven U.S. recessions between 1953 and 2020 began under Republican presidents.
