Perez Refuses to Give Straight Yes When Asked if Hes Fully Satisfied With Pelosi, Schumer Leadership | ||
Democratic National Committee chair Tom Perez refused to say Thursday if he is “Were making real progress, look at the 2017 elections here, Bill. Democrats, not only in Alabama, but in Virginia, New Jersey all sorts of other races,” Perez said. “Were leading with our values, weve learned from our mistakes,” he added. “Is that a yes?” Hemmer interjected “Without Nancy Pelosi, we wouldn’t have health care,” Perez stated. Hemmer continued to pressure Perez for a straight answer. “So you are satisfied with her leadership,? I take it thats a yes?” Hemmer persisted. “Well you know what? We’re leading into the 2018 election cycle,” Perez said. “So its a maybe?” Hemmer commented. “I think we are going to win the Senate and the House. It’s an uphill battle, but I think with their leadership we can do it,” Perez said. “I cant chalk up that answer to a yes,” Hemmer concluded. Pelosi, who has served in the House since 1987, has long held influence among House Democrats. She served as Speaker of the House from 2007-11 and has served as House Minority Leader since that time. Over the past year, a number of Democratic lawmakers have called for new blood. Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton has been an outspoken critic of Pelosi, and called for new leadershipon multiple occasions. Linda Sanchez (D., Calif.) said in October she believed it was time to “pass the torch to a new generation.” Rep. Kathleen Rice (D., N.Y.) also wants a “leadership change,” telling CNN “It’s time for Nancy Pelosi to go, and the entire leadership team.”It’s time for Nancy Pelosi to go, and the entire leadership team.” Pelosi defend herself against criticism in October while she talked to ABCs George Stephanopoulos about her strengths as a leader. “I think we do have a great array of talent, and I have promoted it all along the way,” she said, naming Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) as an example. “I think Im a great legislator, I know the budget,” she said. “Self-promotion is a terrible thing but clearly somebody has to do it.” The post Perez Refuses to Give Straight Yes When Asked if Hes Fully Satisfied With Pelosi, Schumer Leadership appeared first on Washington Free Beacon. ![]() |

Jerusalem for Christians, Jews and Muslims is both a city and an idea | Giles Fraser: Loose canon | ||
Its the object of overwhelming projection, a place of dreams and longing. There can be no political peace there until Jerusalem the golden is understoodTrying to organise parish pilgrimages to the Holy Land, I have often come across church people who refuse to travel to Israel, and to Jerusalem in particular, because they do not want the reality of the place to interfere with their idea of it. Jerusalem the golden / With milk and honey blest, they have sung in church, I know not, O I know not /What joys await us there, / What radiancy of glory, / What bliss beyond compare.No town can ever live up to that sort of billing. The reality is always going to be more prosaic. Which is why those who do make the pilgrimage can sometimes feel a little deflated by the sheer everydayness of the place the shops, the traffic, the traffic wardens, and all the paraphernalia of a bustling tourist industry.

The surest sign yet that Donald Trump is a goner | ||
There are now a number of reasons to believe that Donald Trump is a goner. His approval rating is the lowest of any first-year U.S. President in the history of polling. His Russia scandal moves closer to taking down his presidency and his entire family by the day. His sexual assault scandal is coming back into focus at just the wrong time for him. He’s so unpopular, he’s now costing his own party congressional seats by endorsing its candidates. But the surest sign yet that Trump is a goner is coming from within his own innermost circle.Donald Trump and Roger Stone have been close personal friends for forty years. Stone was so deeply involved in Trump’s campaign, he helped facilitate the conspiracy between the campaign and Russian-controlled WikiLeaks. By all accounts, Trump and Stone have spoken on the phone regularly since Trump took office. Trump trusts Stone enough to tell him how things are really going behind the scenes, and even if Trump is too delusional to connect the dots, Stone can surely get a read on what Trump is telling him. So what is Stone doing with that information? According to Roger Stone, he’s working on a new book about the demise of Donald Trump’s presidency (link). Stone is so sure that Trump is a goner, and that there is nothing he can do to save his friend from being ousted from office, he’s already begun writing a past-tense book on that ouster. Stone isn’t placing this bet for no reason. Keep in mind that Trump supporters and the lunatic far right are the primary audience for Roger Stone’s books. He’s not writing this book because he thinks they want to hear about Trump’s demise. He’s simply certain that his friend Trump is going down, and that it’ll happen soon enough to punish a book he’s already assembling. Stone is surely basing this on what he’s heard from Trump himself. It’s the surest sign yet that Trump is a goner. The post The surest sign yet that Donald Trump is a goner appeared first on Palmer Report. |
