After Trump’s national address on Tuesday night, a response was offered by Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. The optics of Schumer standing next to Pelosi and scowling silently as she spoke was… awkward.

Major Networks, Cable News Will Air Trump’s Address as Democrats Demand Equal Airtime
President Donald Trump tweeted today that he will give a national address on the situation on our southern border. He will travel to the area on Thursday.
After hours of “will they, won’t they” coverage, the broadcast networks and cable news networks decided they will broadcast Trump on Tuesday night. Only CBS...
Government Remains Partially Shutdown As Senate Adjourns Until Dec. 27th
Yesterday, Kemberlee blogged about the partial government shutdown, and today, the Senate adjourned until December 27, 2018. The partial government shutdown will not be resolved until they return.
Meanwhile, recent polls show that
Will Senate Democrats shut the government to prevent Trump from getting his wall?
The fight over the wall isn’t about the wall.
It’s about open borders and whether Trump can withstand the conniving of Democrats AND Republicans in D.C.
It’s also about Democrats hope to hand Trump a “read my lips” moment that will alienate his supporters and damage enthusiasm for 2020.
Former Hillary Spox: Senate Dems brought “a butter knife to a gunfight” over judicial confirmations
Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer struck a deal to allow a unanimous consent confirmation of 7 federal court nominations, and a fast track on 8 others. And #TheResistance is pissed.
Schumer’s Proposal to Rename Building after McCain Unifies GOP . . . Against the Idea
Hours after the death of Senator John McCain (R-AZ) was announced, Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) proposed renaming the Russell Senate office building the McCain Building. Soon-to-be former Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) quickly added his name to the proposal.
The idea, however, has been met with push back from other Senators, including McCain’s...
Schumer: Trump should pick Merrick Garland to replace Justice Kennedy, and also unicorns
As the July 9 date for Trump to announce his pick to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy nears, there is a vicious multi-front war evolving.
Of course, Democrats are attacking every likely nominee, with the anti-Catholic bigotry against Amy Coney Barrett the most prominent. Barrett would be the most finger-in-the-liberals-eye pick, and not...
Warren’s Bank Rebellion Causing Headaches for Schumer
We all know that millionaire Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) hates banks and the financial sector. The woman seethes about it at every opportunity.
Well, the idea of the government easing some some of the banking rules under Dodd-Frank has left her fuming. To make it worse for her SOME OF HER DEMOCRAT...
Democrats Pin Midterm Hopes on Tax Hike Plan
Earlier this week Senate Democrats introduced a tax plan designed to show what Democrats can be expected to do should they win back majorities in Congress.
Trump Reminds “Cryin’ Chuck Schumer” That DACA Negotiations Must Include a Wall
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) needs to snap back into reality. Look, the Democrats do not have control of Congress and Donald Trump is our president and it looks like Schumer still isn’t ready to accept the fact that he doesn’t have power. Even after he
Schumer pretends he has bargaining power, takes The Wall off the negotiating table
Senate Minority Leader Schumer managed to single-handedly tick off the entire Democrat, progressive, and liberal political world with his inability to bring home any bacon from the shutdown fiasco.
Is it time for Chuck Schumer to step aside and let women lead Senate Dems?
Today is an embarrassing day to be a Democrat.
Senate Democrats wasted an entire grandstanding-filled weekend for a whole lotta nuthin. Rather than coming to an agreement with Senate Republicans and President Trump Friday, Democrats ended up accepting the deal (with nothing new in return) Monday.
Unconditional surrender by Democrats is the only acceptable outcome to the #SchumerShutdown
As this post goes live, there are lots of rumors of some sort of “deal” between Democrat and Republican “moderates” to end the government funding impasse.
The Democrats, and particularly Chuck Schumer, have talked themselves into a dead end of seeming to put the interests of illegal aliens ahead of U.S. citizens....
#SchumerShutdown #DACAshutdown
UPDATE: A cloture vote to end debate in the Senate on the funding bill passed by the House failed. So we’re heading to “shutdown” unless there is a last minute deal reached.
As a reminder of how Obama weaponized the 2013 shutdown, see my post Flashback to when Obama weaponized 2013 government shutdown.

Democrats: Trump must capitulate on DACA “to prove you’re not prejudiced or bigoted”
Dick Durbin’s claim that Donald Trump referred to “s***hole” non-white countries during a closed door DACA negotiation has lit a fire.
It appears to be part of a strategy from Durbin and Democrats to walk away from a DACA deal unless they get what they want (primarily amnesty without any changes in...
Particularly if you support Trump, you need to oppose an amnesty sellout
On July 13, 2015, long before it was clear or even likely that Trump would be the Republican nominee, much less president, I wrote at National Review how central the issue of illegal immigration was to Trump’s rise.
My post was Trump’s Lesson: Voters Are Furious about Illegal Immigration:
What in the world is happening with Trump, DACA, and the border wall?
Late Wednesday night, Democrats Sen. Schumer and White House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced they’d reached a deal with Trump on DACA and that funding for Trump’s campaign cornerstone, the border wall, was not part of the agreement, though they’d agreed to include some form of beefed up border security.
Trump and...
