Georgia Rep. Barry Loudermilk Tells Maxine Waters That Government Meddling Caused Rotten Economy

Chris Butler

Representative Barry Loudermilk (R-GA-11) said during a House Financial Services hearing this week that the government’s meddling in the economy and its out-of-control-spending cause the current economic disaster, but Chairwoman Maxine Waters (D-CA-43) evidently disagreed. “Let’s stop pushing the policies that are causing the problems. Out-of-control spending is causing consumer prices to skyrocket. The massive expansion of entitlements has caused millions of people to stay at home and not go to work. Hence, the supply chain catastrophe that we are currently in. There is an all-time-record of unfilled jobs, and, by the way, an economist just came out and said the reconciliation bill will cost 8 million jobs,” Loudermilk said.

Democrats Move to Adopt China-Style ‘Social Credit Score’

Cooper Moran

Chairwoman Maxine Waters and Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee are considering a dramatic overhaul of the credit reporting system within the United States.

The legislation, the Comprehensive CREDIT Act and the Protecting Your Credit Score Act of 2021, was passed out of committee before the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. The bills were previously introduced by a member of the Democratic “squad” and would implement a new system — similar to that of China.

Commentary: No Background Checks for Federal Contractors – What Could Go Wrong?

Admin
David Trone and Maxine Waters

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) and Rep. David Trone (D-MD) have introduced a bill that would block certain federal grants from going to federal contractors who conduct criminal background checks, or even “inquire” about the criminal history of an applicant. This outrageous proposal reveals the woke left’s dangerous agenda. These radicals who want to defund the police and strip them of legal protections now want to give criminals access to government sensitive information, even our national mint.

Under this measure, every defense contractor who conducts background checks could have their contracts stripped. As a side note, if there are any federal contractors who aren’t currently conducting background checks on applicants, then they should have their government contracts taken away for incompetence.

What could go wrong?  A few things come to mind. We could have defense secrets stolen, money syphoned from the U.S. mint, and Drug Enforcement Agency contractors moonlighting for drug cartels.

Maxine Waters Shows up in Brooklyn Center, Tells Protesters to Get ‘More Confrontational’

Admin
Maxine Waters

U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters made a brief appearance Saturday night outside a police station in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, where crowds have gathered for seven consecutive nights to protest the shooting of Daunte Wright.

Wright was killed last Sunday by former Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter, who has since been charged with manslaughter. Meanwhile, the murder trial of former Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd is scheduled to hold closing arguments Monday.

If Chauvin isn’t convicted, then “we know we’ve got to not only stay in the street, but we’ve got to fight for justice,” Waters said.

#WalkAway Family Targeted by Activists, Doubles Down on Trump Support

Beth Lear

  Tyrone and Marcella Jackson are an African-American couple and small business owners of The Good Frank in Columbus. They were not politically active, but believed the Democratic talking points. Now they are conservative Trump supporters. The Jacksons are part of the #Walkaway movement. #Walkaway is a movement siphoning away support from the Democratic Party. It began in New York in May 2018. Brandon Straka, a hair stylist and self-professed liberal, founded the organization. Disenchanted by the far-Left’s takeover of the Party, Straka spoke out against the extreme policy positions of the Democrats and urged others to do the same. “(The Left) will blacklist and destroy anyone who dares to fight back,” Straka said in a video explaining his decision to cut ties with Democrats. “They’ll come for me, and then they’ll come for you.” They came for Tyrone and Marcella Jackson. And the Jacksons wanted to share their story with The Ohio Star, which, like The Tennessee Star, is owned by Star News Digital Media. The attacks against the Jacksons began shortly after a Trump rally in August 2018 at Orange High School in Delaware County. Marcella and her oldest daughter, who was wearing a MAGA hat, were clearly visible…

Commentary: Democrats’ Nutty Ideas Doomed to Drive Americans Back to the GOP

Admin

by Jeffrey A. Randall   Democrat leaders’ outlandishly rude behavior during and after the recently halted government shutdown brought to mind a memorable quote from the classic 1990’s bowling comedy Kingpin: Roy Munson: “Brother Thomas, you know what it says in the Bible about not forgiving people.” Thomas: “Why don’t you tell us all what it says Brother Hezakiah.” Roy Munson: “Well, it’s a… It’s against it.” You’re forgiven if you chuckled at lovable dunce Roy Munson’s ignorance of scripture (the actual scene clip is here); the over-the-top goofy movie wasn’t intended to directly make fun of religion, though there’s been plenty of that lately from the usual loony leftist sources…and it isn’t funny. The point here is “forgiveness” has been in awful short supply these days, with Democrats and their fans in the establishment media preferring the more recognizable and odious route of out-and-out resistance to President Donald Trump’s sane governing overtures. Trump’s position on the necessity of a border barrier has been ridiculed and lampooned by many of the same Democrats who were more than happy to be caught on tape over the years extolling the virtues of a border wall and the need to quell the flow…

Commentary: Are Normal People Trapped in the Democrats’ Uncivil America?

Admin

by Jeffrey A. Rendall   Hillary Clinton is running for president in 2020 on a platform of initiating civil war. If asked, say you heard it here first. The former first lady, national single-payer healthcare promoter, #MeToo deflector, husband apologist, New York senator, intra-party Obama foil and then his Secretary of State – and losing 2016 Democrat presidential candidate – apparently isn’t much for talking sweetness and compassion for her fellow men and women these days. All the bitterness Clinton’s carried since her failed run at the world’s top job was wrapped up in an interview she gave this week where the crooked one basically stated Democrats no longer need to act civilized and peaceful around Republicans led by Donald Trump. According to Hillary, the crisis created by the Republicans’ elevation of now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court served as the final straw for the Democrats’ favorite elder stateswoman. In the course of her dialogue Clinton all-but approved of the left’s extreme tactics to block Kavanaugh and indicated more was in store to combat the effectiveness of the evil Republican majorities. Scary. Alex Pappas reported at Fox News, “Hillary Clinton, in a television interview Tuesday, rejected the idea that…

Waters’ Spotty Ethical Record and Extreme Policy Positions Leave Many Questioning Her Fitness to Serve as Banking Chair

Admin

by Richard McCarty   Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA-43) represents all that is wrong with Washington, D.C., yet she is next in line to chair the House Financial Services Committee should Democrats seize control of the House. It should be noted that the Financial Services Committee has broad authority with jurisdiction over the banking, housing, insurance, and securities industries and oversight over the Federal Reserve, the Treasury Department, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Waters, an 80-year-old California Democrat, was first elected to Congress in 1990. Although she currently represents a working class district, she chooses to live outside of her district in a $4.8 million mansion (which means that the value of her home is more than eight times the median value of homes in her district). Prior to Congress, she spent 14 years in the California State Assembly. She has been a member of the Democratic National Committee for nearly 40 years. Recently, Waters has seen a surge in her popularity among Democrats due to her hatred and contempt for President Trump; but before reinventing herself as a Resistance leader, she was widely viewed as corrupt. In fact, she has repeatedly been labelled one of the most…

Phil Bredesen Silent on Harassment of Republican Women by Left Wing Activists Who Are Giving Him Money

John Bryant
Phil Bredesen

While Democrat Phil Bredesen was quick to accuse President Donald Trump of “child abuse” for simply enforcing current immigration law, he doesn’t seem to have a problem with his prominent Democrat friends like Rep Maxine Waters calling for Republicans and conservatives to be harassed in public simply because of who they are. Staffers and allies of President Donald Trump face a new normal in today’s heated political environment: the potential for harassment and protests anywhere they show their faces — both in their public and private lives. Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters shocked political observers over the weekend by encouraging liberal mobs to harass Trump officials at restaurants, gas stations and even at home. “Already you have members of your cabinet that are being booed out of restaurants,” We have protesters taking up at their house who are saying, ‘No peace, no sleep. No peace, no sleep,’” Waters told a liberal crowd on Saturday, pledging to “win this battle.” “If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd,” the congresswoman added. “And you push back on them. Tell them they’re not welcome any more,…

Maxine Waters: Martin Luther King Jr. Would Have Wanted Trump Impeached

Tennessee Star Staff

Rep. Maxine Waters marked Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Twitter by suggesting that the slain civil rights icon would have advocated for the impeachment of President Trump if he was still alive today. “Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would have encouraged every responsible human being to march for justice, to march for peace, and most of all, to march for the impeachment of Donald Trump. #ThankYouMLK50,” the California Democrat tweeted Monday.
