Cory Booker’s Filibuster: Opinion Piece

The Topic: Senator Cory Booker criticizing the Trump administration during a marathon speech on the Senate floor.

Sen. Cory Booker’s lengthy 25-hour speech seemed to be nothing more than political posturing and nonsensical theatrics (“ ‘Spartacus’ wraps up 25-hr. ‘filibuster,’ ” April 2).

He vehemently condemned President Trump, asserting that his administration is damaging the nation and calling on Americans to resist his agenda.

However, what concrete actions has Booker taken to assist Americans?

What has he achieved for the constituents of New Jersey, the state he represents?

Absolutely nothing!

Booker should refrain from making inflammatory remarks that only serve to deepen divisions among the American populace.

Under former President Joe Biden, Democrats had four years to address the nation’s issues but accomplished very little.

In true Spartacus fashion, Cory Booker utilized 25 hours to stand before Congress, delivering weather updates, sports scores, and gardening advice — all to an empty chamber.

Given that President Trump has only recently taken office, none of Booker’s tirades could be directed at an individual actually progressing the country.

Trump Derangement Syndrome has reached unprecedented levels.

The Democrats’ frantic, erratic meltdown was fully displayed during Booker’s record-breaking, meandering rant.

As this presidential term progresses, we should prepare for more of such dramatic antics.

Buckle up — it’s likely to be quite a ride.

In a classic display reminiscent of Spartacus, Cory Booker took to the Senate arena to confront Trump’s so-called “malevolent forces.”

However, after endorsing millions of illegal immigrants, voting against the Laken Riley bill, and remaining silent during Trump’s address, it appears Spartacus left his sword at home.

Will he back the permanent implementation of Trump’s middle-class tax cuts?

My prediction?

Thumbs down.

Keeping the masses uninformed and impoverished: That seems to be Booker’s strategy.

New Jersey, are you not entertained?

Hey, Cory — nobody is interested in how extensive your Senate speech was.

The Topic: President Trump enlisting Elon Musk to streamline the federal workforce.

From tariffs to DOGE reforms and deportations, the nation is once again heading in the right direction (“DOGE’s patriotic musketeers,” Miranda Devine, March 31).

The primary concern for the future is that these initiatives might be reversed by the next president, who could potentially be a liberal.

To ensure these changes are long-lasting, Congress must enact legislation that solidifies these crucial policies into law now, while Republicans maintain majorities in both the House and Senate.

If Donald Trump and his associate Elon Musk were genuinely committed to reducing unnecessary government spending, they might consider canceling those SpaceX contracts and reallocating those funds to address climate change.

After all, a healthier planet would eliminate the need to search for a future home for humanity.

I have been closely monitoring reports on DOGE fraud, excessive waste, and potential savings. As a former systems analyst, I believe there’s no reason these federal savings cannot also be applied at the state level.
