Scott Jennings just made a FOOL out of 25-year-old Democrat wunderkind, David Hogg.
Hogg used his time on CNN to blame Republicans for the government shutdown, even accusing @ScottJenningsKY of not caring about people in his home state on ACA subsidies.
He was silenced pretty quickly.
HOGG: “The entire reason the government is not open right now is because Democrats refuse to be complicit in having millions of Americans, including 100,000 in Kentucky, you’re home state if I’m remembering correctly Scott, that rely on ACA, that would see their premiums rise several dozen percent.”
When Jennings finally jumped into the discussion, he came armed with the facts and Hogg didn’t stand a chance.
JENNINGS: “But David, you would admit that the ACA was a Democrat legislation, yes?”
“And you would admit that the subsidies that we’re talking about now were passed by Democrats, yes?”
“And you would admit that the sunset provision in the subsidies, which comes up at the end of the year, was in place because of Democrats, yes?”
“Now you want to make it a Republican problem. These are not the same issues.”
“You could open the government today and then you could negotiate with Republicans about ACA subsidies.”
“And by the way, my suspicion is and you know this, there are probably and I know there are some House Republicans that would love to negotiate on it, but under duress, under a hostage taking situation, connecting disconnected issues.”
“And now you’re throwing SNAP onto it. You’re throwing all the federal workers who aren’t being paid onto it, all because of this fight that you wandered into, because of your wing of the Democratic Party.”
“YOU ALL led to this SNAP crisis. You all led to this crisis of the government being closed and you don’t know how to get out of it!”
We’re still in a government shutdown because Democrats are desperate for power, even if it comes at the expense of vulnerable Americans. The Schumer Shutdown needs to end!

Absurdities of the week
Why would those undocumented protestors now shutting down the 101 in Los Angeles burn the flag of the country in which they are demanding to remain—while waving the flag of the nation to which they apparently have no desire to return?
Why here at home do we arrest drug dealers and kingpins for fueling mass opioid addictions, but, in the case of foreign-supplied drugs, claim American addicts are the real problem, but not Mexico and China, which deliberately help to supply, process, or disguise fentanyl to send across an open border- a drug which over the last decade they know has killed more Americans than all Americans killed in our 20th- and 21st-century wars?
Why would not Mexico and Canada after years of either laxity or complicity simply not police their side of the borders and stop illegal exits and thus also reduce the supply of lethal drugs entering the U.S. while helping to reduce a bit their massive trade surpluses with the U.S.— over $160 billion in the case of Mexico and $50 billion with Canada—rather than vent over the unfairness of the U.S. seeking some belated and partial symmetry? Was NAFTA designed to smooth out trade imbalances or radically increase them?
Why are we to sympathize with those grandees now forced to leave the FBI, or with retired intelligence authorities who knowingly signed a false letter to warp an election and thus are losing their security clearances—when just a few years ago they did their best to weaponize and politicize hallowed intelligence and investigatory agencies? Should we not care more about restoring the lost reputations of agencies than the feelings of those who helped destroy them?
Why is it legitimate for Los Angeles city and county agencies or the FAA for years to boast about the decisive role of DEI in their hiring, promotion, and retention, but suddenly it becomes illegitimate to even question whether such emphases had the effect of diminishing meritocracy and with it life-saving effectiveness? Who are the real illiberal and the culpable— those throughout history who privilege race, sex, and sexual orientation as essential prerequisites or those who see them as incidental not essential to our individual characters and identities?
Remember that local elections are just as important! Many of them don’t have party affiliation next to their name. Make sure you search ahead of time for your city or town.
Hah! Yes, she could roll back the draconian tax regime tomorrow. But she’s pretending she’s running against her own government. This puts her on a collision course with Joe Biden who will defend his legacy to the death (or Jill and Hunter will do so on his behalf).
One thing to think about in retrospect…This is not something Biden wanted to do. He wanted to stick this out. The way this unfolded towards the last minute and ultimately by an overthrow through the party leaders was ultimately a self-inflicted wound. They should have been doing this months ago and even of course, before he decided to rerun. For months if not a few years, they willingly perpetrated an image that they knew wasn’t actually true. Today’s results is the culmination of a tangled web that came crashing down. Lemon Law Campaign.
