The GOP-led House failed to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Mayorkas not only refuses to secure the border‚ but he lies about it continually. It’s a colossal embarrassment for Republican leaders‚ who pushed the issue for political reasons despite legal scholars disputing the GOP case. It failed 214 to 216‚ with four Republicans […] The post GOP Fails to Impeach Mayorkas After Refusing to Secure the Border appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

RNC Chairwoman Ronna (McFail) McDaniel told Donald Trump she would resign after the South Carolina primary on February 24th. This could be because she can’t raise any funds.

The GOP-led House failed on Tuesday to pass a bill to approve a $17.6 billion Israel aid package that does not include an offset that was tucked into a similar measure the chamber approved last year. Fourteen Republicans joined with 166 Democrats in voting against H.R. 7217‚ which is geared toward helping Israel respond to attacks‚ while 204 GOP lawmakers and 46 of their colleagues across the aisle supported it. One member‚ Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA)‚ missed the vote as he continues to battle cancer. The bill was considered under suspension of the rules‚ a mechanism that allowed leadership to limit debate and prohibit floor amendments while requiring a two-thirds majority for the legislation to prevail — a threshold that was missed by a couple dozen votes. 250-180: House defeats $17.6B Israel aid only bill. 2/3rds vote (287) was needed. 14 Republicans and 166 Democrats voted No. pic.twitter.com/NRmg0dBMAO — Craig Caplan (@CraigCaplan) February 6‚ 2024 Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA)‚ who announced the bill over the weekend‚ told Punchbowl News earlier in the day that if the bill did not pass on Tuesday‚ “There’s a very good chance we’ll bring it back again next week.” House Republicans may also try another go at impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in the coming days after a vote on Tuesday ended in failure. The Democrat-controlled Senate is considering a $118 billion package that would couple border security reforms with funds for Ukraine‚ Israel‚ and other foreign causes. Johnson has said the Senate bill is “dead on arrival” in the House‚ and as of Tuesday it appeared the compromise measure would hit a wall with GOP senators leaning toward revisiting a foreign aid bill divorced from border provisions. Leaders among House Democrats said they would oppose the standalone Israel aid bill championed by Johnson‚ noting they were “prepared to support any serious‚ bipartisan effort in connection with the special relationship between the United States and Israel‚ our closest ally in the Middle East.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The White House warned President Joe Biden would veto the standalone Israel aid bill‚ calling the House GOP’s push a “cynical political maneuver” shortly before a bipartisan group of Senate negotiators unveiled their legislative compromise after months of talks. When Johnson revealed the plan to go with a standalone Israel aid bill on Saturday‚ he cited the “Senate’s failure to move appropriate legislation in a timely fashion‚ and the perilous circumstances currently facing Israel.” He added‚ in a letter‚ that “Democrats made clear that their primary objection to the original House bill was with its offsets” and surmised that the Senate “will no longer have excuses‚ however misguided‚ against swift passage of this critical support for our ally.” The new Israel aid measure marked a departure from legislation passed by the House in early November — with the help of 12 Democrats who broke ranks — that coupled $14.3 billion in support for Israel with an offset slashing the same amount of funds meant for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) condemned the proposal combining Israel aid and IRS cuts as “deeply flawed” and vowed the upper chamber would not take it up for consideration. He made a similar vow of the standalone Israel aid bill.

One of the beauties of life is the simple fact that no matter how stupid things get‚ reality always wins. Whether your personal life or whether politics writ broadly‚ the simple fact of the matter is‚ eventually‚ you are going to run up against reality — and reality is going to win. That doesn’t mean bad political ideas can’t emerge victorious in the short- or even the mid-term. It does mean the realities of human nature‚ the realities of the world surrounding you‚ don’t just go away. And ultimately‚ those policies will fail dramatically. The dumber the policies‚ the faster they tend to fail. One of those dumb ideas that has obviously taken center stage of late has been the dumb idea of woke. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show Woke is a foolish idea. Now‚ what exactly is wokeness? Wokeness is the basic idea that if there is any sort of disparity between group outcomes in American life‚ that group disparity is due to discrimination. The only corrective is‚ therefore‚ reverse discrimination or some form of discrimination that is going to equalize the outcomes of the various groups. We have seen a wide variety of policies that have been implemented in order to close all of these gaps. The Quest for Cosmic Justice — as the great thinker of our time Thomas Sowell has put it — is a foolish quest. It is not something that can be solved because the reality is the vast majority of group gaps are either inborn or they are the result of culture and environment — because those are all the factors that there are. That does not mean every result is the result of inborn differences. Differences in intellectual outcome very often are about educational or cultural differences as opposed to‚ for example‚ height differentials between particular groups; those are about genetics. This happens throughout life. Looking at the rationales for why things are different in terms of outcomes between groups can be a good way of crafting good policy — but we’ve thrown all of that out in favor of stupidity. Now‚ we are going to educate our children in the stupidity‚ which does not reflect reality. We are seeing the results of that. The San Francisco Chronicle reported on this: A Hayward elementary school struggling to boost low test scores and dismal student attendance is spending $250‚000 in federal money for an organization called Woke Kindergarten to train teachers to confront white supremacy‚ disrupt racism and oppression and remove those barriers to learning. The Woke Kindergarten sessions train teachers on concepts and curriculum that’s available to use in classrooms with any of Glassbrook Elementary’s 474 students. The sessions are funded through a federal program meant to help the country’s lowest-performing schools boost student achievement.  The basic theory behind this program is that if you just teach kids self-esteem‚ they will magically become smarter and better performing. If you teach them about the radical injustices of the life they lead in the freest country in the history of the world‚ then they will magically perform better. Only one problem: It fails because reality always wins. The Chronicle continues‚ saying: But two years into the three-year contract with Woke Kindergarten‚ a for-profit company‚ student achievement at Glassbrook has fallen‚ prompting some teachers to question whether the money was well spent given the needs of the students‚ who are predominantly low-income. Two-thirds of the students are English learners and more than 80% are Hispanic/Latino.  This is not a particular shock because woke kindergarten is a stupid idea. Teaching kids terrible ideas is likely to make them perform worse‚ not better. District officials defended the program‚ saying the kindergarten did what it was hired to do. That’s true‚ albeit not in the way they intended. They made the scores lower. It made things worse. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP One of the most amazing attributes of the nonprofit world‚ and this is true virtually across the board‚ is that nonprofits are constantly exacerbating the problems they are supposed to fight so they can raise money to fight those problems. This happens all the time in nonprofit land. One of the jobs of politically motivated people on the Left is to exacerbate inequalities so as to claim inequity. That is the goal. Because if at any point those inequalities actually narrowed as a result of freedom and good incentive structures‚ then what would they do for a living?

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has reportedly told former President Donald Trump that she will be stepping down from her position shortly after the GOP South Carolina presidential primary later this month. The New York Times reported that Trump is “likely” to promote North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Michael Whatley to be her replacement. The news comes after Trump met with McDaniel on Monday at Mar-a-Lago and posted after their meeting: “Ronna is now Head of the RNC‚ and I’ll be making a decision the day after the South Carolina Primary as to my recommendations for RNC Growth.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP This is a breaking news story; refresh the page for updates.
