Clyburn: New Medicaid Work Requirements Could Cause People Not to Work, Are Like Jim Crow

Ian Hanchett 9 Jul 2025

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Laura Coates Live,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) stated that the new work requirements for Medicaid under the reconciliation bill that was passed last week are “an attempt on the part of this administration to replicate that which took place when we saw the creation of Jim Crow” and “could very well result” in people not working.

Clyburn said, “[T]his awful piece of legislation, I think it’s the worst thing I’ve seen in my lifetime. And it mirrors stuff that I’ve studied in history. We are seeing an attempt on the part of this administration to replicate that which took place when we saw the creation of Jim Crow. When you see an administration doing the kind of things that this administration is doing, they’re taking food out of the mouths of babes, subjecting able-bodied people to the same kind of tests that you subject people to who have never worked.”

He continued, “Just think of what this new work requirement is all about. 85% of the people who get this aid or Medicaid are already working. And so, what we’re going to do is say that, even though you’re already working, we’re now going to subject you to a new test, which could very well result in your not working at all.”

Yet, we're still here.  Why do we keep putting credence into 'experts' who are never right?  If they were bookies, they'd be sleeping with the fishes.

Jeffries: I Trust Dem-Run States to Have Legit Elections in ’26, Not GOP-Run States

Ian Hanchett 9 Jul 2025

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Beat,” House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) responded to a question on whether he thinks the 2026 midterms will be rigged by saying that “in many of the states where there will be competitive gubernatorial elections and certainly in the overwhelming majority of the states where the House will be decided, there are Democratic governors, Democratic attorney generals, and Democratic secretaries of state” “And I’ve got trust in those leaders to make sure that there are actual free and fair elections.” But he’d “be far more concerned…if we were looking at a situation where the fate of the House would be determined in states where Republicans are in charge” of things.

Host Ari Melber said, “Someone listening might say, wow, that sounds good, I hope Hakeem Jeffries is right, but what if he’s wrong, what if we’re actually past the point where we can just count on free and fair elections, when, as you know — and to be fair, you’ve spoken out about this, of course — the person in the office, he won lawfully, he won the Electoral College in what we know to be a free and fair election. But, previously, when he lost, he tried to subvert that. We had a convicted sedition. He then freed the sedition convicts, as everybody knows. And so, there’s great concern about, not a repeat of 2020, but a more effective version of it. And you’ve heard this concern. It’s not just random sort of activists or the most extreme sort of people worrying about it. James Carville, a longtime sort of centrist Democratic figure, said this about rigging the midterms.”

Melber then played clips of Carville saying, “I’d say your concerns are legitimate. I would never tell anybody that’s worried that, no, don’t you worry about that.” And “he’s going to try to do anything that he can, possibly, to try to extricate himself from what is almost certain to be a humiliating loss in October of — November of 2026. So, people should be worried, they should be vigilant, they should watch this.”

Melber then asked, “Is this a legitimate concern? And, if so, what are you doing about it?”

Jeffries answered, “We have to be incredibly vigilant to make sure that there are free and fair elections. I think we have to look at what’s in front of us. And, this year, of course, there are the off-year elections in New Jersey and in Virginia, we’ve got to make sure that the Democratic nominee, Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) wins in New Jersey, the Democratic nominee, Abigail Spanberger, wins in Virginia. They’re both tremendous public servants, have served this country in a variety of different ways, including in the Congress. And then, of course, be prepared as it relates to the midterm elections. Now, the good news is, to the extent that there’s a silver lining in our electoral system, it is that we don’t have a national election system, it’s state by state by state. And, in many of the states where there will be competitive gubernatorial elections and certainly in the overwhelming majority of the states where the House will be decided, there are Democratic governors, Democratic attorney generals, and Democratic secretaries of state. I’d be far more concerned, honestly, Ari, if we were looking at a situation where the fate of the House would be determined in states where Republicans are in charge, because what we’ve seen –.”

Melber then cut in to ask, “So, you’re saying, to be clear, because it’s a patchwork, you’re saying you’ve studied this, and if there are Republicans trying to play games, they’re not actually overseeing the races that you think would control the House outcome?”

Jeffries answered, “That’s absolutely correct. There are seats in New York, seats in New Jersey, seats in Michigan, seats in California, seats in Wisconsin, seats in Pennsylvania, seats in Arizona, by way of example, that are going to determine, in large measure, who controls the House in the aftermath of the midterm election. Every single one of those states [has] Democratic governors, … Democratic attorney generals, Democratic secretaries of state. And so, that’s kind of the landscape that we find ourselves in. And I’ve got trust in those leaders to make sure that there are actual free and fair elections.”

Have any of these lazy European Socialists ever worked outside on a hot day?

That horse has been out of the barn for a long time, especially since Methane became Global Climate Change Public Enemy #1. 

Methane was supposed to backfill the generation capacity lost by shuddering old nuclear, coal, and oil power plants.

Instead, we got unfulfilled promises of wind turbines and a New England Clean Energy Connect that has yet to be built.

Global Climate Change nitwits are going to leave America with a 3rd World energy infrastructure.

Trump Grows Job Market with Americans, Undoing Biden’s Migrant Economy

John Binder 8 Jul 2025

President Donald Trump is growing the nation’s workforce by filling open jobs with native-born Americans, rather than importing more migrants to take such work, Bureau of Labor Statistics data reveals.

“Compared with the start of the year, foreign-born employment is down by over half a million workers and American-born employment is up by over two million,” Breitbart News Economics Editor John Carney reported.

And while hundreds of thousands of native-born Americans are scoring jobs in Trump’s economy, the all-important labor force participation rate rose from 61.4 percent to 61.8 percent, with the highest level ever of native-born Americans employed.

The Heritage Foundation’s E.J. Antoni made a similar note, mainly that compared to former President Joe Biden’s migrant economy — where nearly all net job growth went to foreign-born workers — Trump’s economy is delivering nearly all net job growth to native-born Americans.

“What a difference a president makes: last Nov, the 12-month change in jobs among native-born Americans was -1.1 million but for Jun it was +1.7 million; truly remarkable…” Antoni wrote on X.

Maybe someone needs to fly down to Mar-a-Lago to kiss the ring.

It's Trump's Republican Party now.  He'll kick some @$$ to keep his herd of cats in line.

Well, if they weren't such lascivious pedophiles, maybe they'd have had enough virgins to sacrifice to the fire god.
