When it was reported that Sen. Marco Rubio hated being in the U.S. Senate and was running for president because he was “frustrated” with how that chamber of Congress worked, it took me back to 2012, when I first caught wind of this frustration he had with the governing body in which he was elected to serve.

It appears as if those conservative “wacko birds” in the U.S. House of Representatives really do have a lot of sway up in Washington, D.C.

On Friday, California Attorney General and U.S. Senate candidate Kamala Harris continued to defend sanctuary cities after illegal alien Francisco Lopez-Sanchez confessed to murdering Kathryn Steinle in San Francisco.

For the second time, an employee in the California Department of Justice was caught impersonating as a sworn law enforcement officer.

Harris has made no comment on either case.

The U.S. House of Representatives has voted on and passed a national defense bill that was stripped of an amendment that would have given all of those executive-amnestied Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) kids the opportunity to enlist in the U.S. military.

Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) has formally announced that she will run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by a retiring Barbara Boxer (D-CA) in 2016.

U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL) won his first election in 2012 by branding himself as a moderate, presenting himself as an alternative to tea party firebrand Allen West, who had been elected in the Tea Party wave of 2010.
