Boy, the Deep State, Democrats, and parts of the DOD must really be afraid of Pete Hegseth, and what he might do.*

The fact that they aren’t willing to risk her seat is an ominous sign.

The Democrats in the state legislature are maneuvering to leave the seat vacant for as long as possible. That’s the issue.

@#$&! I meant Stefanik, of course, not Stefani. Must have been thinking of the singer, not the politician.

Stefani won reelection last November by 24 points. Under normal circumstances, any Republican candidate running to replace her should have had a cake walk. The fact that they aren’t willing to risk her seat is an ominous sign.

I think she should have a consequential job when the time is right. The only reason to stay in the UN is to bloc mischief from Xi’s minions.

I’ve seen it mentioned elsewhere – can’t remember where – that Republicans are performing especially poorly in these special elections, as in “haven’t won one yet this year.”

I get the impression that Republicans become easily fixated on that brass ring – having estabished a majority they think they can now coast, creating a low intensity vulnerability that will, if not corrected, will destroy them. And us. Democrats are fixated on only one thing – winning – all the time and at any cost; they are not a casual opponent, nor one to be trifled with or ignored.

Trump? Short-sighted? Surely you jest.

As you said, Neo, the US Ambo position at the UN isn’t that important. The US Mission to the UN has a Chargé d’affaires when the Ambo position isn’t filled, and the Chargé can vote as the White House directs. We could completely forget filling the position and nothing would change. Rubio (and the WH) just needs to make sure that they have the right person in the Chargé slot.
