On the Elf on the Shelf box it says "A Christmas Tradition," it seems like this little game is becoming a Washington D.C. tradition...
LOL! Good one. Very appropriate too!
As a federal worker I can tell you that we are gettings rumors of shut diwn in February.
It won’t happen, the pubs are scared of another one.
Perpetual turmoil is useful to this thug regime in many, many ways.
” - - - Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) signaled that Republicans would not raise the debt ceiling next year without some sort of concessions from Democrats - - - “
The key cave-in word in the above quote is the word “without.”
If without is removed, and the qualifying following dependent phrase, the statement becomes: “ - - - Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) signaled that Republicans would not raise the debt ceiling next year.”
Thus, Ryan has “signaled” that he is working a con on his loyal, and very gullible voters.
If the word “signaled” is replaced by “stated,” then we have a statement worthy of a true Federal Republican Politician: “ - - - Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) stated that Republicans would not raise the debt ceiling next year.”
This is a good object lesson for us Conservatives to consider at how eager the current RINO Establishment leadership is to surrender, cave-in or otherwise grovel at the feet of their betters (the Marxist Democrats).
Always willing to avoid a knock-down, drag out battle such as the 2012 Reid-Obama Controlled Partial Government shutdown, the Federal Congressional RINO Establishment continues to cave in to the loudest voices in Marxist Obama Administration, the Marxist Reid’s Senate, and the Leftstream Media.
Ryan’s double con is working as long as we Conservatives allow his Con to go un-noticed.
The funding is part of the bill. If there isn’t enough funding, don’t pass the bill. Once it’s passed, don’t moan about paying for it.
