Foreign Politics, 3-3-2024, Lula De Silva Outed At An Anti-Semite, Reproductive Rights In The Gaza Strip?

theesteemedprussian356

There were several foreign policy stories that caught my attention over the past few weeks. At the same time that Brazil is attempting to betray American interests by allying with the new BRICS currency with other hostile countries like China and Russia, they have excused the murder of Alexei Navalny in Russian captivity as being unexplained (Putin tried to poison him prior) while simultaneously calling Israel’s actions to defend itself against Hamas’s aggression “genocide” like Hitler’s holocaust. On that same note, there was one Twitter comment that caught my attention because the person called for a ceasefire because of “repro … Continue reading Foreign Politics, 3-3-2024, Lula De Silva Outed At An Anti-Semite, Reproductive Rights In The Gaza Strip?

2028 Republican Presidential Primary Banter, 2-25-2024, Previewing Some Early Moves By Possible 2028 Contenders (Donald Trump, Jr. and Brian Kemp)

theesteemedprussian356

The 2024 election doesn’t even (officially) have its nominees so far and speculation about who will be running for the 2028 presidential election is already running high. The decision by Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) to endorse Donald Trump after his election loss and previous campaign comments have been framed as his attempt to remain in good standing with parts of the base, he would need to win in 2028. The Trumpian loyalists are as incorrigible towards descent from their dear leader as ever, but DeSantis appears to be preparing for the future and licking his wounds from what was a … Continue reading 2028 Republican Presidential Primary Banter, 2-25-2024, Previewing Some Early Moves By Possible 2028 Contenders (Donald Trump, Jr. and Brian Kemp)

Town Hall, 2-11-2024, Denver Announces Cuts To The DMV To Accommodate Migrants

theesteemedprussian356

Ah, the DMV. The most obvious symbol of the bureaucracy at its most inefficient where you need their services, they bottleneck you into losing a day or two of pay simply to avoid losing more of your pay and ability to get around freely, and then any effort to criticize them goes straight to voicemail as the state and local government could care less about making it more efficient. If you are a resident of Denver, Colorado, you can now expect more severe cuts heading your way regarding cuts to your DMV wait times thanks to Mayor Mike Johnston (D-CO), … Continue reading Town Hall, 2-11-2024, Denver Announces Cuts To The DMV To Accommodate Migrants

The Hammer, 1-28-2024, Ken Paxton (R-TX) Attempts To Push His Power Beyond Texas Borders Regarding Transgender Surgeries

theesteemedprussian356

Ken Paxton (R-TX) as Attorney General of Texas is someone who should’ve been impeached twice now by the Texas legislature and could theoretically cost Republicans the Senate in 2026 if he decides to run for the Senate seat held by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) in 2026 if Congressman Ronny Jackson (R-TX) doesn’t drunkenly cost the GOP the seat first. The fact he is under indictment, called to resign from members of his own party within the state, and has been under investigation for close to a decade now should give worry to the efficiency in which he can still serve … Continue reading The Hammer, 1-28-2024, Ken Paxton (R-TX) Attempts To Push His Power Beyond Texas Borders Regarding Transgender Surgeries

Democratic Banter #332, Stacey Abram’s (D-GA) Fair Fight Organization Lays Off Staff, Democratic Party Efforts Could Suffer In Georgia

theesteemedprussian356

When Stacey Abrams launched her Fair Fight organization to make Georgia competitive for Democrats, the state did become competitive for her party with the state’s two Senate seats and several House seats either flipping or becoming closer to flipping. The caveat for Abrams, however, was that she couldn’t seal the deal as a gubernatorial candidate in 2018, proceeded to blow much of her popularity as a potential candidate for 2022 by alleging voter suppression throughout the interlude between the two elections, and then losing to Governor Brian Kemp (R-GA) by an even larger margin than before by about 8%. This … Continue reading Democratic Banter #332, Stacey Abram’s (D-GA) Fair Fight Organization Lays Off Staff, Democratic Party Efforts Could Suffer In Georgia

theesteemedprussian356

There have been numerous stories developing around the world that are worth discussing that have happened in the past few weeks. In Argentina, the recently elected President Javier Milei was recently a speaker at the World Economic Forum where he lambasted socialism in front of a crowd that was largely wanting to hear from anybody but him. In El Salvador, the crime rate in the country has declined sharply after the brutal takedown of the gangs including MS-13 that have been problematic for the country’s development. In France, term-limited Emmanuel Macron is attempting to facelift his party’s brand in the … Continue reading Foreign Politics, 1-28-2024, Updates On Argentina, El Salvador, France, Greece, Netherlands, Taiwan, Thailand, and Yemen

theesteemedprussian356

There have been several new developments regarding state legislative politics in recent weeks. Kentucky state legislator Nick Wilson (R-KY) is sponsoring a bill to remove the stipulation that having sexual intercourse with your first cousin would count as incest while most people are just realizing that he was a contestant on “Survivor: David vs. Goliath”. In Louisiana, Governor Jeff Landry (R-LA) is considering changing the state’s open primary law to a closed primary law for elections with Independents crying foul over potentially being disenfranchised in a closed primary system. Let’s get to the stories.               Starting off with Kentucky, … Continue reading State Legislative Politics, 1-21-2024, Updates From Kentucky and Louisiana

2026 Senate Election Predictions, 1-21-2024, Previewing The Illinois Senate Election In 2026 If Dick Durbin (D-IL) Retires

theesteemedprussian356

One of the main headlines that hasn’t been discussed thus far has been the possibility of several high-profile retirements from the Senate in 2026 from several prominent members in the legislative chamber. The main name that I’m watching on the Democratic side is Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) who has been in the Senate since the 1990s and has been a staple of Illinois Democratic politics, being a reliable vote for whatever policies the party needs to be passed. Ignoring my own personal criticism of his progressive zealotry, there was recently an article from Chicago Magazine that listed ten major names … Continue reading 2026 Senate Election Predictions, 1-21-2024, Previewing The Illinois Senate Election In 2026 If Dick Durbin (D-IL) Retires
