Smart move. All those nomination of sitting Representatives was worrysome.

White House Withdraws Stefanik U.N. Ambassador Nomination to Protect GOP’s Tight Congressional Majority.

The Trump administration is withdrawing its nomination of Representative Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.) to serve as the next Ambassador to the United Nations to help protect the slim Republican majority in the House.

“With a very tight Majority, I don’t want to take a chance on anyone else running for Elise’s seat. The people love Elise and, with her, we have nothing to worry about come Election Day. There are others that can do a good job at the United Nations. Therefore, Elise will stay in Congress, rejoin the House Leadership Team, and continue to fight for our amazing American People,” President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social.

“I look forward to the day when Elise is able to join my Administration in the future. She is absolutely FANTASTIC. Thank you Elise!”

President Trump nominated Stefanik for the position in November shortly after his decisive election victory, rewarding one of his strongest allies in the House and a leading advocate against antisemitism on college campuses.

A strong supporter of Israel, Stefanik was expected to be easily confirmed by the GOP-controlled Senate as it attempts to push through Trump’s nominees as quickly as possible. Her confirmation hearing was set to take place in early April after House Republicans passed several pieces of legislation with her vote.

Stefanik currently represents New York’s 21st congressional district, a safely Republican seat she won in 2024 with 62 percent of the vote. New York would have held a special election for her seat upon her resignation and confirmation. Republicans have become wary about special elections to state and federal offices because of high turnout and enthusiasm from Democratic voters compared to the lower participation rates among the increasingly diverse and working-class GOP electorate.

“It is well known Republicans have a razor-thin House majority, and Elise’s agreement to withdraw her nomination will allow us to keep one of the toughest, most resolute members of our Conference in place to help drive forward President Trump’s America First policies,” Speaker Mike Johnson (R., La.) posted on X.

This is how you get a new Crusade.

Just a heads up: I’m not moderating my language in this one. If you can’t handle the existence of profanity, just skip this one. I’m not going to entertain discussion on my choice of words on this one.

[FYI, I put the really raw stuff below the ‘read more’ tab]

I don’t talk a lot about my faith here because, frankly, I’m so bad at practicing it. I’m a terrible example of a Christian, but I try to be open about that while also improving myself to be better at practicing my faith.

It ain’t easy.

I also happen to be a free speech guy. People have a right to say things I have moral objections to. I’ve written about how the most fundamental right we have is the right to be an asshole.

And I’m not about to change that.

However, there’s a difference between opposing laws that try to moderate what people can and cannot say and actually being supportive of them saying some of those things.

You may have a right to be an ass. You do not have an obligation.

Especially when you’re projecting a double standard by doing so.

For example, how many people remember the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack? The French publication was targeted because they published a satirical rendition of Mohammed on the cover. While few would actually celebrate the attack publicly, plenty of people argued that the publication sort of was asking for it by mocking Islam.

Mocking Islam here is likely to get you canceled. The usual suspects will term you as racists and Islamophobic—even though Islam isn’t a race and “Islamophobic” is a nonsense term and, arguably, justified in light of numerous terrorist attacks throughout the world—and call you a terrible person.

But if you mock Christianity, it’s fine.
