Let's take a look at what Democrats are ignoring so they can censure a conservative Republican because he posted a cartoon they found offensive and which he took down himself: More than two million illegal aliens crossing our border this calendar year; Attorney General Garland deploying Federal agents to spy on parents; Inflation driving gas prices up; Everybody's Thanksgiving dinner is going up; A vax mandate that is clearly unconstitutional; A bankruptcy-inducing, bureaucracy-bloating spending bill by Democrats; Supply chain in shambles; Democrats consistently ignoring calls to violence and anti-Semitic statements of their own; Foreign policy embarrassments; Americans languishing behind in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan; China, Iran, North Korea on the move.

I'm sad to say, I think they're going to do a full-year CR for the rest of the year.
