Friend --
Whooooo boy. So much for a quiet week after the two victories on
September 10th. Another Democrat debate that saw Beto O'Rourke state,
"Hell
yes we're gonna take your AR-15" and endorsed a mandatory
government buyback program (although they can't "buy it back" if it
was never theirs to begin with). Don't let anyone tell you that
Democrats aren't coming for your Second Amendment rights. Joe Biden
said that anyone who commits a non-violent crime shouldn't be in jail
(looks like I'm never paying taxes again). Lots of misinformation
about the Wednesday override vote, so let's clear that up.
WHAT HAPPENED
STORIES FROM THE
NATION
It's no secret that Sen. Warren is considered the "leading" policy
wonk among the Democrats running for president. She has plans. Lots of
them. The problem? They're consistently unconstitutional. National
Review
Let's stick with Sen. Warren for a second. Many, if not all of the
Democrat presidential candidates (and other federal Dem candidates for
that matter), have stated that they will not accept corporate PAC
contributions. Sen. Warren, like the vast majority of her colleagues,
is a huge hypocrite. The
New York Times
Allison Lundergan Grimes was Sen. McConnell's opponent in 2014. Her
father - who was chairman of the Kentucky Democrat Party at the time -
was accused of illegally contributing to her campaign. The case went
to trial. Take a wild guess what happened? Lexington
Herald-Leader
Education was a theme during the debate last night, and Democrats
like Sen. Sanders have made it clear that they are going to reform
education into a one-size-fits-all federal behemoth that would
undoubtedly drag education backwards. Charter schools continue to
thrive because some Democrats hate what's making a difference,
especially for minority students: parental control. The
Wall Street Journal
STORIES FROM
NC
There were some interesting storylines from the victories of
Congressmen-Elect Murphy and Bishop. Murphy expanded on Trump's margin
of victory in the 3rd and Bishop flipped a few counties in the eastern
part of the 9th, although we did cede a little ground in the suburbs
of Meck. What could this mean for 2020? Roll
Call
The sheriffs who have refused to work with the 287(g) program have
come under a lot of fire, and for good reason. A new report is out
that sheriffs across NC who haven't abided by the program have
released nearly 500 illegal immigrants despite ICE detainers. WBTV
Over the past decade, carbon emissions have gone down as cars have
become more efficient and the country uses more natural gas. The
climate change doomsayers say that NC's air and water are dirtier
today than 10 years ago. They're wrong, and here's why. John
Locke Foundation
If you're wondering how fake news spreads, Wednesday's floor vote
for the veto override is a great case study. Several outlets went with
a story before they could verify the facts and they went viral. Local
reporters pushed back on them, but it was too late (and the FB page
comments and emails can prove it). Read these pieces from Red
State and the Washington
Examiner.
TRACKING YOUR REPRESENTATIVES
CONGRESS
With both chambers back after the August recess, House Dems are
pushing full-speed ahead with the politically unpopular impeachment
proceedings. As promised by Speaker Pelosi, they're also going
after your Second
Amendment rights. While some Republicans are divided, the House
voted to advance a bill to limit
offshore drilling, although it's probably DOA in the Senate.
To borrow a saying from a few college football teams, the Senate
should be renamed into Judge Confirmation U. The
Senate confirmed the 150th judicial nominee, continuing the
President's focus to remake the federal judiciary.
GENERAL
ASSEMBLY
This week has been redistricting,
redistricting,
and more redistricting.
Lawmakers have until 9/18 to get the maps in, so don't expect the
Senate to take up the budget veto override that the House passed until
after then.
