Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) believes he has found a way to use the Senate’s rules to end-run around the filibuster and pass major pieces of President Joe Biden’s legislative agenda with a simple majority vote.
Major pieces of Biden’s agenda like the $15 federal minimum wage, amnesty with citizenship for 11 million illegal aliens, or a new federal assault weapons ban are unlikely to muster enough Republican support in the 50-50 Senate to overcome the threat of a legislative filibuster. Democrats need 60 votes to close debate on a pending bill, and as long as they are unwilling to compromise their radical progressive agenda they won’t find 10 Republicans willing to lend their support to it.
But multiple reports indicate Senate Democrats think they’ve found a way to bypass a potential filibuster and that they will try it to advance Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure proposal.

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!
