Congress

Madonna set the mold for reinventing herself, and generations of women after her have picked up the technique. Show up at the office one day, and Caitlin has a whole new hair color and veneers. Come in the day after that, and Brianna’s wearing Osh Kosh overalls with her hair shaved off and wants you to call her Oliver. 

But it’s not just the physical transformations, it’s the apparent personality changes. Women in politics and public life have made a technology out of wild mood and affect changes depending on what they want, and whether men are scrabbling fast enough to get it for them. One minute Senator Elizabeth Warren (Indian name: Shrieks-Alot) is screeching at some conservative man on the Senate floor:

The next minute, she’s pretend-crying in her car because the mean Republican men are trying to kill everyone. Again:

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has this game down pat. First, she reinvented herself as a Sophisticated Lady that everyone knows as “Alexandria,” despite the fact that she was plain old Sandy Cortez right up until she won public office. With leftist women, there’s never a shortage of things to yell and scream about. Or, in AOC’s case, to whimper and whine about. This is a woman for whom manipulation is as instinctive as breathing.  When she gets in front of a crowd she wants to charm, Cortez starts talking in a tiny little girl voice in an obvious effort to make herself appear harmless, small, and cute. 

And like Elizabeth Warren, she tries (with limited success) to turn on the tears when a vote on a bill doesn’t go her way. With her usual histrionics, Cortez stood on the steps of the Capitol after Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” was passed and said, “I think this is one of the saddest moments in modern American history.” Here’s Cortez almost-crying about it:

She’s despondent that able-bodied people won’t be allowed to get taxpayer funded healthcare from those who actually work for a living. Oh, the humanity. 

Here’s what X/Twitter users had to say in reaction:

You may have noticed over the past 10 years or so that women in public life aren’t acting very much like women. They’re acting like teenaged girls. Emotional, snotty, and petulant, especially toward men. More than 60 years of feminism, which became girlbossery over the past decade, has convinced sub-par women without much practical knowledge that they know better about everything. The economy, school policy, and military readiness. 

Experience doesn’t matter to these women, what matters is “getting theirs back” against men who haven’t done anything to them. Feminism is about resentment and female supremacy, not the “equality” that advocates claim they want. For example, few feminists would quibble with the claim that women are better decision-makers when it comes to childcare and home management. They would see it as right and natural that women dominate the childcare field, and that women come up with policies on how children should be cared for. 

But take a man’s domain of expertise, such as military tactics, and Feminist Francine is confident that she knows more than any of the men who’ve been on the battlefield. Take Congresswoman Sara Jacobs, Democrat representing the California district that includes San Diego. Like most leftist women, Jacobs is hellbent on arguing for the existence and inclusion of “transgender women” in everything. She thinks that men who call themselves women are women, or she pretends she believes that. 

It’s a convenient belief to pretend to have when your goal is actually to try to score points against competent, masculine, conservative men like  Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Liberal female politicians loathe him because he doesn’t cower under their school teacher scolding, and he won’t lie and pretend that transgenderism is anything other than a mental illness. Since President Donald Trump signed an executive order disqualifying “trans” people from service in the military, the left has been trying every trick they have to reverse it. Rep. Sara Jacobs believes she’s found the silver bullet: Just claim loudly that trannies are “women,” and then accuse Hegseth of harming women. Check out her self-promoting Tweet:

Jacobs is, of course, lying. Hegseth was not “stunned.” It was Jacobs who lied in Congress and acted like a fool. The congresswoman is sore that Hegseth made her look like a fool with his response. Here’s the exchange:

Let’s see who the public thought won this round. 

This guy’s got Rep. Jacobs categorized correctly:

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is facing renewed criticism after denouncing the United States during a public appearance, where she likened current federal law enforcement actions to dictatorship and claimed the U.S. has become “one of the worst countries” in the world. Her comments were made amid President Donald Trump’s ongoing efforts to restore order in Los Angeles following two weeks of violent riots. During a recent appearance on a progressive talk show, Omar objected to the Trump administration’s deployment of California National Guard troops and U.S. Marines in response to riots in the city.

“I grew up in a dictatorship, and I don’t even remember ever witnessing anything like that,” she said. “To have a democracy — a beacon of hope for the world — to now be turned into one of the, you know, one of the worst countries where the military are in our streets without any regard for people’s constitutional rights, while our president is spending millions of dollars propping himself up like a failed dictator.”

Omar, who immigrated to the United States from Somalia in the 1990s and later became a U.S. citizen in 2000, has been vocal in her opposition to federal immigration enforcement and the administration’s efforts to remove violent agitators from American streets. She arrived in the country after fleeing Somalia’s civil war and initially received asylum before obtaining permanent residency.

Her latest remarks drew criticism online, especially in light of a deadly incident in her home state just days prior. Minnesota authorities had recently arrested a suspect in connection with the fatal shooting of a state lawmaker and her husband, as well as the critical wounding of another lawmaker and his wife. Despite the high-profile nature of the incident, Omar’s public focus remained on federal immigration enforcement and foreign policy, particularly her criticism of the Trump administration’s stance on Iran and Israel.

“It is shocking and it should be a wake-up call to all Americans to say this is not the country we were born in,” Omar added in her interview.

Her comments triggered backlash on social media, with some users calling for her removal from office and others questioning her continued residency in the U.S.

“I’ll pay for her one way ticket home to Somalia,” one user posted on X.

“And yet she’s still here,” another added, including a clown emoji.

“Deport her, problem solved,” a third user wrote.

In March, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) launched a petition calling on the Trump administration to deport Omar, citing concerns about her past immigration filings. The Department of Justice earlier this year reopened an investigation into long-standing allegations that Omar married her biological brother to assist him in avoiding deportation. The marriage, which ended in divorce, has been the subject of scrutiny for years. A source within the Minnesota Somali community previously claimed that Omar sought out a Christian pastor to officiate the ceremony due to concerns over the relationship’s nature.

While no official charges have been filed in connection to the marriage allegations, DOJ officials confirmed the matter remains under investigation. Rep. Omar’s office has not responded to inquiries regarding her recent comments or the ongoing investigation. The congresswoman has remained active on social media, where she has continued to criticize President Trump’s policies on immigration and foreign affairs.

The “anything goes” and “you do you” attitude that’s prevailed for the last 15 or so years has brought us all sorts of public behavior that no one wanted. The Human Resources dictum to “bring your whole self to work” has given permission for staff to bring their marital and emotional problems to the office so what used to be private business is now everyone’s concern. 

Have you noticed how there are also no grooming standards anywhere anymore? If you’re in your late 40s or 50s, you remember a time not long ago when you were expected to comb your hair, tuck in your shirt, and-gasp!-even wear a clean uniform. That’s been replaced by hairy guts hanging out below food-stained T-shirts (men) and literal prostitute-wear (women). People’s faces are full of metal like nose rings and painful lip piercings, and even middle class women are covered with the kinds of tattoos formerly seen only on bikers, prisoners, and psychopaths. 

This strange behavior goes on in the elite classes, too. Consider Shri Thanedar, an immigrant from India who represents Michigan’s 13th district in the House of Representatives. There’s no “nice” way around this: the man looks like a creation from Jim Henson’s Muppet Studios. It’s obvious from his photographs over the years that he’s been heavily reliant on makeup and hairpieces. 

When you look at his Congressional portrait, you imagine that Thanedar walked into a Baltimore wig emporium and said, “I’ll take the Carol Brady in brunette.”

Then there’s the obviously drawn-on (tattooed?) eyebrows. Recently, they’ve taken on the in-vogue square shape, the kind that looks like they were drawn on with a Sharpie. 

Of course, we’re not supposed to comment on how people look, even when they choose their look specifically to get attention, as Thanedar appears to have done. So let’s examine his political actions. Thanedar has a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, and recently put up a video announcing his articles of impeachment against President Trump. Take a look and a listen to this weird dude. 

His odd priorities are not a one-off. Recently a citizen reporter interviewed Thanedar and asked him to specifically name prominent cities in the Congressional district he represents. Thanedar couldn’t do it, begging off by saying “I’m not here to answer a quiz.” Take a look. 

X/Twitter users did not find Thanedar impressive. 

Plenty of people made reference to allegations that Thanedar was involved in mistreatment of animals. 

And yeah, they went for his look, too. 

Anti-Trump GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) addressed a potential primary challenge funded by DOGE leader Elon Musk during a Juneau, Alaska, conference on Tuesday. Murkowski responded to the potential primary threat in a defiant tone, saying, “It may be that Elon Musk has decided he’s going to take the next billion dollars that he makes off of Starlink and put it directly against Lisa Murkowski.”

She continued:

“And you know what? That may happen. But I’m not giving up one minute, one opportunity, to try to stand up for Alaskans.”

Murkowski also remarked on her GOP colleagues’ reticence to voice opposition to President Donald Trump, asserting that their silence reflects their fears of facing primary challenges.

“They’re looking at how many things are being thrown at me, and it’s like, ‘Maybe I just better duck and cover,’” she remarked.

Murkowski also voiced disapproval of recent DOGE cost-cutting measures, claiming they were a source of undue “anxiety.”

Watch:

She went on to criticize the termination of federal employees in Alaska, claiming they are “traumatizing people” and “leaving holes in our communities.”

Since her write-in defeat of Republican Joe Miller in 2010, Murkowski has faced little political opposition. Alaska’s ranked-choice voting system gave her an additional edge in the state, allowing her to draw support from political moderates and Democrats. However, she acknowledged that Musk’s influence with his super PAC—Ame, America PAC—could have a devastating impact on future primaries aimed at unseating Anti-MAGA Republicans.

Last year, Musk warned Senate RINOs that going against Trump’s agenda and the will of the people will result in them losing “either their Primary or the mid-term election.”

The United States Senate has overwhelmingly passed the HALT Fentanyl Act (S.331), which designates fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I drugs under the Controlled Substances Act.

The legislation, sponsored by Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), was backed by 84 senators.

However, 16 Democrats inexplicably voted against the measure.

Their reason? Either blind partisanship or a preference for soft-on-crime policies—I’m leaning toward the latter.

Here is the full list of Democrats who opposed the final passage of the Halt Fentanyl Act:

• Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD)
• Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE)
• Cory Booker (D-NJ)
• Tammy Duckworth (D-IL)
• Mazie Hirono (D-HI)
• Ed Markey (D-MA)
• Jeff Merkley (D-OR)
• Chris Murphy (D-CT)
• Alex Padilla (D-CA)
• Bernie Sanders (D-VT)
• Adam Schiff (D-CA)
• Chris Van Hollen (D-MD)
• Raphael Warnock (D-GA)
• Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)
• Peter Welch (D-VT)
• Ron Wyden (D-OR)

The legislation now heads to the House of Representatives, where it is expected to pass with bipartisan support.

The National Pulse reports:

Sen. Cassidy’s legislation—now on its way to the House of Representatives, where it is expected to also pass with bipartisan support—upgrades punishments for so-called “fentanyl-related substances” and aligns them with the penalties applied to fentanyl analogues.

Notably, offenses involving 100 grams or more of fentanyl analogues carry a minimum sentence of 10 years in prison. The federal mandatory minimum sentence is likely the reason why most of the 16 Democrats opposed the bill—though the influence of Chinese agents cannot be discounted.

Chinese chemical and pharmaceutical companies illicitly export hundreds of kilograms of fentanyl precursor chemicals to the United States every month.

In February, several executives with Wuhan-based Hubei Aoks Bio-Tech Co. Ltd were indicted by U.S. federal prosecutors for illegally importing fentanyl precursors into the United States. In October of last year, eight Chinese companies and their employees were indicted for similar crimes in Florida.
