The Shiff schtick

 Trending Politics:

Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) is under fire after a resurfaced video from 2023 shows him passionately condemning government shutdowns under former President Joe Biden—yet now, with President Trump back in office and another shutdown looming, Schiff is singing a different tune, shifting blame to Republicans.

The video, now making the rounds on social media, captures Schiff warning about the dire consequences of a government shutdown during a time when Democrats controlled both the Senate and the White House. He was concerned for federal workers, TSA employees, and members of the military who wouldn’t receive paychecks during a funding lapse.

“Had the government shut down, hundreds of thousands of people would have not gotten their paychecks. Federal employees would have been furloughed, sent home. Others deemed essential, like TSA workers, they would have been forced to go to work and not paid,” Schiff said in the 2023 video.
...

Yet today, with President Donald Trump back in office, Schiff appears to have a much different take. In a new video from TikTok, Schiff shifts the blame to the Republican-controlled Congress, claiming the government shutdown issue is solely their responsibility.

“So is the government shutting down? Well, that depends on Donald Trump and the Republicans. They control the White House. They control the House. They control the Senate. It’s really up to them,” Schiff said, disregarding bipartisan negotiations and complexities that come with funding disputes.

Schiff then claimed that Republicans had instead passed a partisan resolution that “changed all kinds of funding levels” and stripped Congress of the ability to overturn Trump’s tariffs.

Critics were quick to note that under the Biden administration, Schiff and other Democrats had no problem using partisan budget measures to push their own agenda.

It is something some of us have come to expect from Adam Schiff.  He is a partisan who tends to be partisan rather than looking for viable solutions to government problems.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...
