Insult to injury: Budget holdout Kyrsten Sinema Tears Into Biden and and Pelosi and Dubs the Party Leadership 'inexcusable' and Slams the 'deeply disappointing' decision to cancel vote on $1T infrastructure bill

Following a dramatic week on Capitol Hill, a moderate Democratic senator from Arizona slammed leaders of her own party over their 'inexcusable' failure to hold a vote on the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan.

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema — one of the key holdouts on the budget bill — took to Twitter Saturday, calling the canceled vote 'deeply disappointing' and a betrayal of the trust of the American people.

'The failure of the U.S. House to hold a vote on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is inexcusable, and deeply disappointing for communities across our country,' Sinema wrote.

'My vote belongs to Arizona, and I do not trade my vote for political favors — I vote based only on what is best for my state and the country,' she said.

'I have never, and would never, agree to any bargain that would hold one piece of legislation hostage to another.'

It appears lib's are trying to bully Sinema. This is what happens when you're a democrat. There is an expectation to fall in line or face the mob.

Yeah... it's complicated, but simply put, since they are such long flights we get paid for that time and just perdiem for the down time I am sitting in the hotel. It works out pretty well in the end. A normal month is right around 78 hours of pay. A long trip like this can be worth half a month and it is only 6 days. But I am gone from home that whole time.

I was sitting with my brother one day when he was selecting his packages (international) for a following month. He explained things as he went. My comment was he had the best part time job paying premium full time pay that you could possibly find. He was home much more than he was gone and was paid far more than most people in the US. We also had a discussion about the most difficult part of flying - takeoffs and landings, and how few of those there are on international routes vs domestic flights, and who got paid most.

I've been doing international since 2002. Not exclusively, but mostly. I have been blessed and I have been to a lot of places, but I usually only get to stay for 24 hours. I can show you around Paris in a day and see everything worth seeing. ;) It is interesting how we all have different places that we like. I LOVE Bogota and South America in general. Also Asia. But Europe is really hard on the body clock. It's hard to explain, but going east to Europe and transiting 7 time zones is harder than going west and transiting 13. It can be hard on your body too. Here's a picture of my copilot. He's 50.

I'm glad to know that somebody else has body clock problems when going east. Going west a few time zones never really bothers me, but going east is a killer.

I am even more useless than usual for the first 36 hrs or so when going to Europe. Fortunately I just fit right in there 🤷‍♂️

Just think. The dems had to put joe in to keep Bernie out of the presidential sweepstakes. The had to have recognized that even the fool had a better chance at winning than Bernie, and they still had to manipulate the process at least twice to get joe "elected".

Incredible. We already pay a tax by the mile - at the pump. It even has built in rewards for owners of fuel efficient cars and penalties for gas guzzlers. Of course, it doesn't cover electric vehicles and maybe the few that burn something other than gasoline or diesel.

Which Do You Hear? Reporter Mistakes Crowd's 'F*** Joe Biden' Chant For 'Let's Go Brandon'

During an interview following NASCAR driver Brandon Brown's victory at his first Xfinity Series Saturday, fans appeared to chant "F*** Joe Biden" despite an NBC reporter's claim they yelled "Let's Go Brandon."

“Oh my God, this is just everything we’ve hoped and dreamed for,” Brown said. “Everything I’ve ever wanted to do is take the trophy home to mom and dad.” As chanting grew louder, the camera shot panned to the fans in the Talladega Superspeedway stands.

“As you can hear the chants from the crowd — ‘Let’s go Brandon,'” the reporter said, pausing to allow viewers a chance to hear what was being said in unison. However, audio of the chant seems instead to be sending an impolite political message, leading some online users to question whether the interviewer was trying to downplay the situation.

Maybe it's the 81M fans in Brandon's cheering section.

Mike Pompeo says Joe Biden’s southern border failures mean that American children will DIE as Drugs including Fake prescription pills laced with Fentanyl Pour into the US from Mexico

American children will die as a result of President Joe Biden’s ‘near open border’ policy that allows lethal narcotics to flow into the country from Mexico, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said.

'We have these porous borders. These [drug] cartels figure out...not only how to get into Texas, California and Arizona, but all across the country and build up networks,' Pompeo told WABC 770 AM radio on Sunday.

'Our local law enforcement...are under enormous pressure because of the drugs.

'Kids all across America are going to die as a result of the failure of this Administration to secure that border.'

When you keep interest rates arbitrarily low, it gives the illusion to many homeowners that they can afford a home that they normally would not attempt to purchase. They don't understand that insurance, taxes, expenses all increase with a larger home because all they see on the front end is a low mortgage rate. The rising home prices persuaded many homeowners to sell a home they normally would not because of the red hot housing market but didn't realize that all of their profits from selling the home would be eaten up when trying to purchase another one.

Also not sure with the last housing crisis that mortgage companies had index fund and foreign buyers lined up...there is no incentive for them to work with struggling homeowners
