Usual afternoon sh*t barrage by Grandstander Nothing different there, But to highlight his desperation, please note fellow posters, He bumped a twelve year old thread for no reason whatsoever. Just so typical of his need for attention. (and yes, I realize that I responded, but certainly not in his thread) .

Elizabeth Warren Attempts to Spark Panic Over Possible Gov't Shutdown (and of Course People 'Will DIE') A little earlier this year you might remember Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren's effort to make everybody panic over Trump's tariffs. Warren said the tariffs would result in an economic crash, millions losing their jobs and homes, dogs and cats living together -- mass hysteria! That of course didn't happen, but being a shameless congressional Democrat means never stopping the fearmongering. Up next we have the debate about the funding bill and yet another looming federal government shutdown. Warren is taking the usual approach while being intentionally vague about some of it: The government runs out of money tomorrow. Which is wild, considering they just sent another 3 billion overseas last week. But don’t worry. Elizabeth Warren says it’s because Republicans won’t fund hospitals. Not because the simulation spent itself into oblivion. Apparently the issue isn’t trillions in waste, it’s that conservatives don’t love Medicaid enough. https://x.com/thebeaconsignal/status/1972682075674480697 https://twitchy.com/dougp/2025/09/29/elizabeth-warrens-attempt-to-start-a-panic-over-a-possible-govt-shutdown-n2419675

The Schumer Shutdown Cometh Duane Patterson At Midnight Eastern on Tuesday night, unless there's a breakthrough, meaning Senate Democrats cave, the federal government will shut down for the sixth time this century. In four of the previous five occasions, the shutdown lasted a couple weeks or less, Only once, in 2019, were non-essential federal workers furloughed for longer than a month. Logic would dictate that this shutdown, if it happens, would be very brief, but logic is not one of the primary drivers leading Democrats to the brink this time. With Republicans controlling the House and Senate, albeit with the narrowest of majorities, normal business is ongoing. Budgets have been passed in both chambers, and while delayed, the appropriations process, is well underway in a welcomed return to regular order. The House passed the appropriations bills for Fiscal Year 2026 on Agriculture, Defense, Energy, and Veterans Affairs. There's a little more work to do, but the House has by and large done its job. Over in the Senate, on August 1st, the upper chamber passed a three-part package that funded Agriculture, Veterans Affairs, and the Legislative Branch. Due to the backlog on executive and judicial appointments, with Democrats going to the mattresses and clogging up time for every single nominee before Leader John Thune and the Republicans reformed the rules to remove the cloture requirement off non-controversial appointments and allow for bloc voting, the Senate has run out of time while the finishing touches on the remaining appropriations bills are negotiated in committee. In a sane world, it's a no-brainer. Pass a temporary continuing resolution to lock in spending at existing levels for a couple of weeks, or as long as you need to in order to finish next year's package, and you're done. Not this time. Not this president. The Democrats have to oppose what they supported, because it'll help Trump. Democrats used to be against shutdowns. Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader, was against them multiple times in recent history. More at the link: https://hotair.com/generalissimo/2025/09/29/the-schumer-shutdown-cometh-n3807293 .

Once Again, the Trump Administration Snags a Win From SCOTUS on USAID Funding Case by Susie Moore FTA: Instead, we got a ruling from the high court on the USAID funding case. (Which isn't to say we won't also get one on Cook's case — there's still time left in the day.) Once again, the court handed the Trump administration a win, this time by formally granting the administration's application for a stay of D.C. District Judge Amir Ali's September 3rd preliminary injunction, which blocked the Trump administration from withholding previously appropriated USAID funding. As noted in the court's order, this is not a final disposition of the case. It simply means that Judge Amir's September 3rd ruling (enjoining the administration from withholding the funding) is paused while the issue makes its way through the appellate process. Also, this ruling applies only to the funds that were subject to President Trump's August 28 rescission proposal, i.e., the $4 billion. However, it does signify a win for the administration in terms of its control over funding, and may also add a wrinkle to the tussle over the looming shutdown. https://redstate.com/smoosieq/2025/09/26/once-again-the-trump-administration-snags-a-win-from-scotus-on-usaid-funding-case-n2194440

AND.................................even with her Naval Academy record, we get this. Only a liberal would have this much gall.

Maybe not "assault" but close enough.

What we know about the suspect in the deadly Michigan church shooting By Dennis Romero The person accused in a fatal shooting and fire Sunday at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, is a 40-year-old area man with a military background. Thomas Jacob Sanford is from Burton, a city of nearly 30,000 people roughly 6 miles from Grand Blanc Township. Both are suburbs of Flint. Police said the attacker rammed the church with a vehicle, got out and opened fire with an assault rifle. James Deir, special agent in charge of the Detroit Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said he also appears to have used an accelerant to start a fire. At least four people were killed in the attack, two of whom were shot, and eight were injured. Officers killed Sanford in a parking lot behind the church, police said. The FBI’s special agent in charge of the bureau's Detroit field office, Reuben Coleman, said Sunday night that the bureau is looking for a motive. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/what-we-know-thomas-jacob-sanford-suspect-michigan-church-shooting-rcna234309 For the coward Roundabout (who didn't provide a link or context) as usual. An image uploaded to Facebook in 2019 shows Thomas Jacob Sanford wearing a “TRUMP 2020” shirt. The image was uploaded to “Brantlee’s Journey,” a page that provides updates on Sanford’s son Brantlee and his battle with congenital hyperinsulinism, a rare condition where the insulin cells of the pancreas create too much insulin. As of Sunday night there had been no motive established in the investigation, nor had there been any suggestion from authorities that Sanford’s political views or his son’s condition played a role in his thinking. No "maga" connection since But that doesn't matter !! Even if he was full blown "Trumper" the point is that churches and faith in this country is under attack ADDED: Well what do you know, while I was typing Round posted a vague link reference. I would refer you to my "thoughts" above.

So the story is continued hatred of religious faith Quelle surprise. FBI believes Michigan church shooter 'hated people of the Mormon faith White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed new details about the gunman who killed at least four people and injured several others during a crowded Sunday service at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints church in Michigan. Leavitt told “FOX & Friends” on Monday morning that, through conversations with FBI Director Kash Patel, she has learned that Marine veteran Thomas Jacob Sanford harbored a hatred for people of the Mormon faith. “From what I understand, based on my conversations with the FBI director, all they know right now is this was an individual who hated people of the Mormon faith, and they are trying to understand more about this, how premeditated it was, how much planning went into it, whether he left a note, all of those questions have yet to be answered, but certainly will be answered by the FBI,” she said. The FBI is currently executing multiple search warrants at Sanford’s homes “to get the bottom of why he would commit such an act of evil,” according to Leavitt. Leavitt added that the gunman’s family is cooperating with the FBI. Sanford plowed a pickup into a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints church in Grand Blanc, Michigan, opened fire and set the building ablaze. He was killed after engaging with responding law enforcement officers. Authorities are searching the building ruins for more victims. https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/michigan-church-shooting-9-29-25 .

Hahahahahahahaha. What a response. Sit down Round&round and read. So when people engage in activity bad for the general public, they can be prosecuted and given a penalty for it. By the way, notice how the thread has been hijacked from the original story Hmmmm. What We Know About the Shooting and Fire at a Michigan Church At least four people were killed after an attacker opened fire at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint building and intentionally set fire to the structure. The gunman crashed a vehicle into the building, (outlaw cars !!) then began shooting at congregants who were attending Sunday services, the police said. Fire soon consumed the church, as well. Officers responded within a minute to reports of the shooting. Eight minutes later, the shooter was dead after exchanging gunfire with the police, the authorities said. Investigators believe the fire was fueled by gasoline or another accelerant. Three makeshift explosives were also recovered, said James Deir, an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Who is the suspect? The gunman was identified by the authorities as Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40, of nearby Burton, Mich. Mr. Sanford, who also went by Jake, used an assault-style rifle in the shooting, the authorities said. He graduated from a nearby high school in 2004 and then enlisted in the Marines, serving four years, including a deployment to Iraq in 2007. {snip} The Michigan attack adds to a growing list of recent assaults on American religious institutions. Two children were killed by an assailant at a Catholic school in Minneapolis in August. In July, two women were fatally shot and two others were wounded on the grounds of a church in Lexington, Ky. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/us/michigan-mormon-church-shooting-fire.html

Seems kind of odd that they would be 'assisting' something that doesn't exist, no ?

Gee. How did the J6 commission miss this ?
