Rock star Kid Rock is getting wide headline exposure for his political commentary, which could see a U.S. Senate campaign for him in the near future. Rock’s strongly worded criticism of “The View” host Joy Behar has been covered prominently in the mainstream press, which allows Rock to overcome the hurdle so many candidates face starting out: getting their name out there.

Rock pulled out of Michigan Senate speculation this year after leading a poll 30-26 over Debbie Stabenow during a hopeful moment for the Republican Party, which eventually turned its back on most or all of its populist candidates and needed Trump to carry them to many of their victories.

Rock, who campaigned with Don Jr. in the midterm, probably could be a Senator-elect right now. Big League Politics was tuned in closely to the developments in the Rock exploratory effort in the Stabenow race.

Rock joined President Trump for the president’s signing of the Music Modernization Act, which Rock says provides protections for the many below-the-line crew members that work in the recording industry.

Chuck Schumer Threatens Supreme Court Justices: “You Will Pay the Price”

Chilling language.

Chuck Schumer outright threatened two Supreme Court Justices when speaking at a pro-abortion event on Wednesday, using vengeful and vindictive language when discussing recent pro-life court case rulings reached by the court.

Watch here:

“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh…. You have unleashed the whirlwind, and you will pay the price! You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

Such rhetoric might be expected in one of Kim Jong Un’s regular missive of threats against the United States. But it’s shocking to hear a sitting Senate Majority Leader slam nonpartisan Supreme Court Justices in such a bold fashion, totally disregarding the court’s traditional independence from everyday politics.

The rally by a pro-abortion group was being held in advance of an expected court ruling on a Louisiana abortion law. The law requires abortionists to have admitting privileges at state hospitals.

Republican legislators slammed Schumer for his irresponsible and threatening rhetoric at the abortion rally after footage of his language was seen on Twitter.

Did Senate Democrat leader Schumer just threaten two conservative justices? Where is the media?

Schumer may have been alluding to potential Democratic plans to impeach Kavanaugh, and possibly even Gorsuch, removing them from the Supreme Court. The Court’s now conservative majority has placed a major stumbling block in the way of the Left’s preferred strategy of seizing power through judicial activism.

Schumer’s unprecedented language, especially coming from a senior party official who should remain level-headed, demonstrates the Democratic Party’s willing to cast aside all formal norms of federal politics and government. They’re willing to do whatever it takes in order to get their way.
