C-SPAN captured a great moment when Nancy Pelosi's name was called to vote during speaker election.

John Dingell: It appears that blood is not, in fact, thicker than bullshit. Sorry, Uncle Mitt.
POTUS is attacked and obstructed by the MSM media and Democrats 24/7. For an incoming Republican freshman senator to attack @realdonaldtrump as their first act feeds into what the Democrats and media want and is disappointing and unproductive.

Trump to Romney after op-ed: 'Be a team player & win'
Source: The Hill
President Trump struck back at incoming Utah Sen.-elect Mitt Romney (R) on Wednesday after Romney challenged the president's character in an op-ed, suggesting that Romney should be more supportive of his party.
In a tweet, the president called on the incoming senator to "focus on Border Security and so many other things where he can be helpful," while questioning whether he would serve a role as frequent critic similar to former Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), who did not run for reelection last year.
"Here we go with Mitt Romney, but so fast! Question will be, is he a Flake? I hope not," Trump wrote Wednesday morning.
"Would much prefer that Mitt focus on Border Security and so many other things where he can be helpful. I won big, and he didnt. He should be happy for all Republicans. Be a TEAM player & WIN!" he added.

The Twit tweets: You have Walls and you have Wheels. It was ALWAYS that way and it will ALWAYS be...
...Remember this. Throughout the ages some things NEVER get better and NEVER change. You have Walls and you have Wheels. It was ALWAYS that way and it will ALWAYS be that way! Please explain to the Democrats that there can NEVER be a replacement for a good old fashioned WALL!

Native women long held political power on American soil -- until white people got here
The U.S. Congress has been far too white and far too male for far too long. But thats all about to change.
Come January 2019, a wave of minorities people of color, women, and women of color will march into the Capitol and rattle those hallowed halls with their voices of logic and reason. It will probably make a few of the good ol establishment Republicans there quite uncomfortable. Good.
And while women, and particularly women of color, in politics may not be a time-honored tradition in the white, European male system of government, for the indigenous people who began human history on this land, women have been calling the shots for literally thousands of years.
You wouldnt know that if you watched Hollywood flicks and cartoons about Native people that, to this day, portray a stereotypical male chief grunting and Tonto-talking to eloquent, albeit naïve, encroaching white invaders while a Native woman somewhere in the distance plays some subservient role. But that wasnt the truth of our history, not for my people and not for a great many others.
Even now, there remain plenty of matriarchal and matrilineal indigenous societies in the U.S. that were here long before early European-Americans began marauding and murdering and taking of everything on which they could lay their hands.
...
Its ironic that, when Europeans first arrived generations ago, they needed us to save them, to show them how to farm, survive, and live a harmonious and balanced life with the land. Several hundred years later, it appears they need us again.
