Funny you say that, because in 2012 I ran as an Independent for the NJ-12 House district, the same one @BillSpadea ran for a few years earlier.
I didn't think that Dr. Eck or BWC would represent NJ12 well, so I took the advice of Eric Beck and got engaged.
And then...

I’m old enough to remember Republicans completely losing it when they falsely accused Zohran Mamdani and AOC of laughing at the 9/11 memorial.
Where are all their angry tweets today?
Pete Hegseth and his group were loudly reprimanded for laughing while visiting the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier huffpost.com/entry/live-upda…

House Republicans resorted to a blatant abuse of established procedure—bypassing a fair vote—to sneak the biggest cut to veterans’ benefits in American history. 1/

The VFW is condemning the House for approving a package of veterans bills by voice vote - claiming that opponents were hoodwinked by the GOP on the House floor.
Pete Hegseth doesn’t have enough honor in him to be worthy of shining this man’s shoes
Just the thought of abstaining from alcohol for the rest of his life as the Sentinels would break him
As a retired master sergeant, I love that this young man is more afraid of his sergeant than he is of the secretary of defense.
He was following orders and doing exactly what he was trained to do. 🫡

This is malpractice by Democrat leaders in the House who aren’t taking their responsibilities seriously
Nancy Pelosi had her flaws, but she ran a tight ship and wouldn’t have let the last two days of opportunities fall through their fingers like this
Jefferies isn’t cutting it
Democrats fail to call for a recorded vote and GOP passes its bill that cuts veteran disability benefits and forces veterans to pay more to use VA home loan benefits … on Veterans Day
This is the type of thing that would ideally be paid attention to and handled by party leadership. In this case, that would be Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Whip Katherine Clark.
This is less than 24 hours after they failed to whip members on a vote to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, which failed by a 210-204 vote margin with 11 absent Dem members.

This schoolyard macho bragging is why we’re in the mess we’re in
The leader we killed was replaced by an even more extreme one
They’re making us waste $4MM interceptor missiles to go after $20K drones
We’re asking *their citizens* to find the nuclear sites we “obliterated”
For 47 years, Iran has killed innocent people, protesters, Americans, and has waged war on the West through jihadist terrorism.
President Trump had the courage that no other president had — to take on the Iranian threat with full force.
He didn't kick the can. He kicked their teeth in.

Imagine hiring a guy and paying his salary for 20 years to be your legislator,…
…and not having him pass a single piece of legislature on your behalf for two decades
Fun Fact: Jim Jordan has been in Congress since January 2007. Nearly 20 years collecting a taxpayer-funded salary, and not ONE bill he's sponsored has passed the House or become law. Almost two decades of yelling, investigating, and performing for cameras. Zero bills passed.

To hold on to the record number of new and young voters that showed up to support Democratic candidates, it can’t be business as usual. Lobbyists can’t write bills. PACs can’t drive legislation. Corps can’t flood appropriations with earmarks. It’s time to stand up for the people.

Funny how one of the white Christian Nationalists talking points is how the “left” wants to cancel Christmas🤣 but their administration doesn’t have a problem canceling food assistance from 6.3 million people two weeks before the Holiday season begins.🤬
Oh, the irony.🤬
The GOP-led Congress and White House, totally on top of that “waste, fraud, and abuse”
Congress gave one little-known health research agency $215 million for grants this year.
About two-thirds of that money can’t be publicly traced.
The agency’s director told a federal court last month that almost all of it was spent.
So far, no one has shown where it went.

What happened last night regarding the impeachment vote on Pete Hegseth was deeply embarrassing.
Eleven House Democrats missed the vote. If they had been there, Hegseth would be impeached right now.
I’m not worried about impeachment itself. That will come in January.
I’m worried about the message this sends to the American people only a week after a seismic mandate was handed to the Democratic Party to get shit done.
I don’t care why these Members were absent or if this was some lowkey procedural strategy.
What I care about is the messaging, and at the moment, the narrative is: “Democrats said they want Hegseth gone, but can’t be bothered to show up to vote for it.”
That is not good.
All it would have taken is a simple message from House leaders: “We want Hegseth gone, but don’t trust current GOP leadership on this matter. We look forward to holding him accountable in January with the new Congress.”
Dem leaders really need to get it together on messaging. Immediately.
This is why I’m not a Democrat
These idiots put party operations and fundraising above doing the basic job
In this case, squandering an opportunity to hold one of the worst Trump cabinet members accountable
They need new leadership in their caucus
ABSOLUTELY INSANE.
THE HOUSE DEMOCRATIC ****WHIP**** WAS THROWING THE FUNDRAISING BASH THAT KEPT DEMOCRATS FROM VOTING TO SEND THE HEGSETH IMPEACHMENT VOTE TO THE FLOOR.

Do yourself a favor and read the comments. Seriously, all the comments. Right now. 😂
Folks, I have spent literally the entire day trying to get someone at AOL to unlock my email. For the last eight hours, I have been told that the issue has been escalated to supervisors who would contact me. I haven't heard a thing.
You would think that, since I'm one of the last human beings on the face of the Earth still using AOL, they would take care of this. You'd be wrong.
So, once this gets resolved, hopefully before the next presidential election, I'm dropping them. (I kept them this long out of convenience, but now I have no reason to keep them.)
I'll see you on the radio at 6 p.m., at which time I will address this further.
Accountability is coming
AWFUL. A family pleaded with ICE to deport their ill father so he could get out of detention. They even offered to pay for plane tickets. But ICE kept him jailed for two months after he accepted removal, his health deteriorating daily. He died hours after he was finally deported.

Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care, even though my skin burned from the chemicals.
Unreal
Voters sent a clear message that they want our govt to focus on domestic issues and reversing the backslide in affordability for every everyday people
Instead, the GOP’s focused on pillaging Venezuela, and colonial-style conquests of sovereign nations to exploit
GOP Senator Rick Scott, during a private session at CPAC Mar-a-Lago:
“We got to finish what we started in Venezuela. …I think something’s got to happen in Cuba. …the election was clearly stolen” in Brazil.
