Our short national nightmare is over at least for a short while, as the House and Senate passed and the Preznit signed a "Clean Continuing Resolution" to allow the Federal government to continue spending our money for 45 more days, at which point, we may have to revisit the whole process again. I haven't covered it much until now, because, well, all the fun traditionally happens at the last minute, and this time was no exception. At some point in the House proceedings, Rep Jamal Bowman tripped a fire alarm and caused the chamber to be evacuated, claiming it was inadvertent because he was trying to open a door that is normally open, but many suspect was an effort to obstruct the proceedings. Meanwhile, Matt Gaetz is threatening McCarthy's job for cooperating with Democrats. Stacy McCain, House Passes Spending Bill After Democrat (Allegedly) Pulls Fire Alarm.
It’s always “allegedly” with these people:
Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) allegedly pulled a fire alarm in the United States Capitol complex moments before the House was scheduled to vote on a bill preventing a government shutdown, according to the House Administration Committee.J6 protesters were sentenced to years in federal prison for “interrupting official proceedings,” and yet a Democrat thinks he can pull a fire alarm to stop a congressional vote. “Allegedly,” I hasten to add.
U.S. Capitol Police and the House Administration Committee, which oversees House operations and Capitol security, are investigating. . . .
Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) gave a long filibuster speech minutes later as Democrats attempted to delay the vote on a 45-day extension of government funding. The bill eventually passed by a large margin after the incident.
Rep. Jim Banks is among those calling for Bowman’s arrest, tweeting the possibility that Bowman’s actions could be part of a conspiracy among Democrats.

Charlotte Hazzard at JTN, New York Democrat under investigation for pulling fire alarm during votes ""Rep. Jamaal Bowman pulled a fire alarm in Cannon this morning," House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil wrote on X. "An investigation into why it was pulled is underway." At Red State 'Bonchie' thinks Rep. Jamaal Bowman Broke the Law, and He Needs to Be Charged and Nick Arama reports the GOP Now Taking Action to Boot Bowman After He Pulled Fire Alarm, as Old Tweet Comes Back to Haunt Him.

At Twitchy, Twitter/X reacts to Bowman fire alarm drama and #S30 is born. Jonathan@k2jonathan1,"#S30 will forever go down in history. I’d like to submit a request for a day of remembrance for S30. It reminds me of 9/11." At Town Hall Matt Vespa claims Matt Gaetz Hurls Serious Allegations at Speaker McCarthy Over How Shutdown-Averting Bill Got Passed "So, there is no shutdown, but Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is hurling some serious allegations that McCarthy struck a deal with Democrats to grease the wheels to pass the government shutdown-averting bill. Yes, I know this might not shock many people. It had to do with the House voting on a separate measure for Ukraine aid, which was announced after the CR passed." Gosh, you mean there's politics in Washington D.C.? I'm shocked, shocked. Leah Barkoukis at Town Hall, Rand Paul Explains What He'll Do to Avoid a Shutdown “To avoid a government shutdown, I will consent to an expedited vote on a clean CR without Ukraine aid on it. If leadership insists on funding another country’s government at the expense of our own government, all blame rests with their intransigence.” Eric Worrall at WUWT, Green Panic? Congress Strips Ukraine Aid From Interim Funding Bill.
Matt Vespa again, Bob Menendez Wanted to Address Corruption Charges With Dem Colleagues. Here's How They Reacted. "Menendez requested a super-secret, closed-door meeting with his Democratic colleagues, where he repeated his position of not resigning. There was no clapping, just a deafening silence as his colleagues listened respectfully, according to NBC News."

Stacy McCain, Let’s Play, ‘Find the Hidden Racism’!
Appalling is a word we don’t use often enough, but it’s perhaps the best word for what is going on in America’s public schools in the name of “social justice.” You may not be able to read the text in that screen-cap, but apparently academics have invented a term, “evaded racism.” Here’s a brief summary from a journal article:Mythinformed@MythinformedMKE “Things that white families do, like reading to their children” Woke k-12 teacher is opposed to schools promoting positive activities like families reading to kids, because that’s what white people do. She thinks they should instead be focused on “oppressive and racist policies”.Evaded RacismGot it? Now watch this short video clip . . .
Prominent race scholar, Richard Valencia (2012) argues that while in the past intellectual inferiority and cultural deprivation were prominent theories used to uphold racial inequity in schooling, today, individualized analysis of underachievement are tools that maintain the status quo. K. D. Brown & Brown (2012) contend that dominant rhetoric blames students of Color and their families for a lack of academic success, promoting a shift in their behavior as the solution (e.g., reminding parents to read more to their children; advocating for a growth mind-set), rather than suggesting shifts to structures or policies that systematically fail students of Color (e.g., limited resources, racial profiling; Malagon & Alvarez, 2010). Blaming communities of Color for educational inequality at the individual level invisiblizes institutional responsibility, thus providing a rationale to study race yet evade concrete analyses of racism (Bonilla Silva, 2006).
