AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite The Democrats are in disarray over a variety of issues. They’re in disarray over the reconciliation bill , with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) indicating they wouldn’t be supporting it in its present form. Among their issues with it: it’s too expensive. But the Democrats are also in disarray over the eviction moratorium which expired last night.
As we reported earlier, some of the progressives, like Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) have camped out in protest on the steps of the Capitol trying to get action from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Leftists even posted an eviction notice on the door of Speaker Pelosi’s home in San Francisco.
While Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) doesn’t appear to have camped out with other members of the Squad there (figures), she did visit. She also appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” to push the cause. CNN’s @jaketapper : “Who’s to blame” for the failure to extend the eviction moratorium? Rep. @AOC gives a very honest answer about conservative House Democrats threatening to get on planes and Biden WH waiting ’til the day before. pic.twitter.com/3zVncWDpb7 — The Recount (@therecount) August 1, 2021 AOC said that they had to “call a spade a spade,” that they couldn’t blame the Republicans when the Democrats were in the majority. She ripped her fellow Democrats in the House for not voting for an extension and hit out at the White House for not saying anything about it until the day before — when they’ve known for a month about the Supreme Court decision that would inhibit their action. She claimed the White House was “not being really forthright.”
She’s both right and wrong, in regard to action on this. Yes, the Biden White House seems to be very slow and ineffective at everything, so they didn’t fess up until the day before. But if the House, with Pelosi in charge, really wanted to do something about it, they’ve known for more than a month themselves. They could have done something before. The bottom line was they voted against it.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
