The GOP’s stunning lack of accomplishments in reversing or reining in some of the JayVee Team’s most egregious excesses after gaining majorities in both chambers has been… stunning. What happened with the House majority exercising the power of the purse to douse President Pants on Fire’s constitutional bonfires? Slapping down executive over-reach on… Well. I lost count.

2015 may be remembered as the year when the world finally was turned upside down with actions once deemed so bizarre that they would never even be considered becoming the norm, and the formerly accepted norm being shouted down by a mob that imposes its version of correctness.

There is a movement afoot amongst the jealous and the not-so-conservative to try to convince people that 2016 presidential candidate Ted Cruz isn’t really as conservative as his record proves. But the support of heavy-hitting social conservatives makes this fallacious claim fall flat.

Webster defines bipartisan as “cooperation and agreement between two major political parties”. It seems to me that from a legal, constitutional standpoint, the major parties cooperate and agree on, well…everything.

Senate Republicans are scheduled on Jan. 11 to consider the nomination of Luis Felipe Restrepo for the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Why are Senate Republicans giving any more judges to President Obama in his lame duck year when their goal should be to bottle up the remainder of the Obama agenda?

Democrat Senator and future leader of that party in the Senate Chuck Schumer broke D.C. protocol by telling the truth about how the minority party still controls the agenda when he gloated, “Sen. [Majority Leader Mitch] McConnell wants to see the Senate work. But the good news for [Democrats] is, to make it work, he has to do basically our agenda.”

Speaker of the House Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) issued arelease hailing the passage of his omnibus federal spending bill titled, “House Passes Spending Bill to Advance Republican Priorities.” If the omnibus advances Republican priorities, the GOP officially died on Dec. 18, 2015.

Both houses of congress have now had a chance to vote on the $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill that funds the Obama Agenda, including open borders, executive amnesty, more H2-B visas for low-skilled foreign workers, an increase in spending, Planned Parenthood, wind farm tax credits, President Obama’s racial zoning quotas, and ObamaCare.

Conservative members of Congress will have to decide whether there is enough in the omnibus to get them to a yes vote, but somehow we doubt for many there is. The political costs of funding the last year of Obama’s agenda may be far too high headed into a volatile election year where primary challenges are the last thing an incumbent member wants to hear about.

Have you heard that Texas Senator Cruz-despite being one of the most positive, genteel and optimistic people in Washington-isn’t likable, is mean, and can’t win the presidency? When you stop and think about it, isn’t that what you’ve heard the same suspects tell you about every conservative there ever was?
