The health of California Senator Dianne Feinstein appeared to be causing concern among Democrats this week.
During the midterm elections last year, Democrats gained a tiny Senate majority, and they appear to have no qualms about who they will sacrifice to ensure that the majority is as effective as possible.
Feinstein is the oldest member of Congress, at the age of 89.
According to NPR, the senator has missed around three-fourths of the Senate’s votes this session, owing to health difficulties. Last month, she was admitted to the hospital with shingles.
“I’m recovering at home now while I continue receiving treatment and look forward to returning to the Senate as soon as possible,” Feinstein said on March 7 on Twitter.
I want to thank everyone for the well wishes and the hospital staff for providing excellent care. I’m recovering at home now while I continue receiving treatment and look forward to returning to the Senate as soon as possible.

She has not yet returned. The senator acknowledged her continuing absence from Congress on Wednesday night.
“When I was first diagnosed with shingles, I expected to return by the end of the March work period,” she said in a statement. “Unfortunately, my return to Washington has been delayed due to continued complications related to my diagnosis.
“I intend to return as soon as possible once my medical team advises that it’s safe for me to travel. In the meantime, I remain committed to the job and will continue to work from home in San Francisco.”
Feinstein later stated that she had requested that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer replace her on the influential Judiciary Committee.
“I understand that my absence could delay the important work of the Judiciary Committee, so I’ve asked Leader Schumer to ask the Senate to allow another Democratic senator to temporarily serve until I’m able to resume my committee work.”
According to NPR, the majority leader did not hesitate, stating that Schumer will “ask the Senate next week to allow another Democratic Senator to temporarily serve on the Judiciary Committee.”
Feinstein’s Democratic colleagues appear willing to put her out to pasture in order to pursue an increasingly militant LGBT agenda.
In a tweet on Wednesday, Ro Khanna, the co-chairman of fellow California Rep. Barbara Lee’s campaign to succeed the retiring senator, called on Feinstein to quit.
“We need to put the country ahead of personal loyalty,” he said. “While she has had a lifetime of public service, it is obvious she can no longer fulfill her duties. Not speaking out undermines our credibility as elected representatives of the people.”
It’s time for @SenFeinstein to resign. We need to put the country ahead of personal loyalty. While she has had a lifetime of public service, it is obvious she can no longer fulfill her duties. Not speaking out undermines our credibility as elected representatives of the people.

The congressman elaborated on that in an interview Thursday on NPR’s “All Things Considered.”
“I don’t think that someone no matter how remarkable their achievements can be absent in their role, especially in this moment, where we need an active senator to get the president’s judges confirmed, when we need a senator from California pushing back against that the transphobia, the gay phobia that we have been hearing, and that’s why I hope that we will have someone in that role,” Khanna said.

According to NPR, Feinstein’s absence has put ten federal judgeships up for a Judiciary Committee vote on hold. Democrats are eager to bring them forward.
The actual question that needs to be answered as time passes is how long a “temporary” substitute for the senator may last.
Regardless of who replaces Feinstein or for how long, it is instructive to observe how swiftly leftists would dismiss one of their own when her utility is exhausted and their positions of power are challenged.

Ok, I do not mean to switch topics too much but if you haven’t noticed—there is a highly woke agenda being promoted everywhere.
This woke agenda is being promoted not only on television but also in movies. However, that is just the tip of the iceberg. Even the stores that we shop at are funding the very liberal, commie, woke agendas that we are doing our best to rail against.
Now, we have to deal with our meat being pumped full of this new mRNA junk!
These corporate conglomerates have brainwashed us into thinking their products are the only products. And if they’re budget-friendly they must be all we can get.
This is categorically untrue.
We need to stop funding these woke companies and I have an amazing alternative for you.
The only “catch”?
It’s only by referral.
Good thing you know someone that can refer you and that is me.
So, click this link and I can send you some information on shopping with an American-made, patriot-owned store that also has grass-fed beef.
The beef here has NO antibiotics, steroids, or junk either.
It is time that we start supporting American companies and stop feeding the globalist woke agenda >>>https://tinyurl.com/23ctzwky
