Elections, and the Democrats Have Baggage.

A nation in which one administration can allow millions of unvetted illegal migrants into the country, but requires that a court vet each deportation decision in an individually adjudicated case will soon lose the values our democratic system was intended to preserve. Bill Ackman

By Rich Kozlovich

Reports are the Democrats are going to double and triple down on critical race theory, gender ideology, no immigrant should be detained, the Jews are bad, and Trump supporters should be hanged as their platform for the 2028 election.  They actually believe that will swing them right back into power.  And they're not alone in that fantasy as even Never-Trump Republicans are predicting a huge comeback.   

Interesting mind set since just like their myrmidons in the Pravda media, their numbers are cratering, but they have nothing else to offer, and if they change, taking a more moderate or conservative tact, Democrats might as well become Republicans.   

 

All those who've been around Biden for all these years had to know that, he was a nitwit.  The evidence has been abundant for years, and yet those people chose him as their go to relief pitcher to be their candidate for President of the United States in 2020.  Just think now bad the rest of their bench is.   

AOC clearly wants to be President, after all, she graduated cum laude from Boston University with a bachelor's degree in international relations and economics, which so impressed potential employers she became a bartender.   Since Joe wasn't even smart enough to be a bartender, and the Democrats thought he was smart enough to be President, why not AOC?  And.....I want everyone to remember that I said this first...... RFK, Jr. will be running to be the Democrat nominee in 2028.     

Another favorite of mine is that great intellectual and moral giant, Michael Moore, with his latest rant filled with logical fallacies claiming one of these deported illegal migrant children might have cured cancer, or stopped an asteroid from hitting the planet.  But then again, maybe they wouldn't.   But if he can show us which ones would be able to do that, we'll keep them.  

In the meanwhile they're criminals because they're here illegally, eating up American's tax money, overwhelming our public services, committing a lot of crimes, forming criminal organizations, and even creating groups to overthrow the United States, much of which Joe Biden can take "credit".  Other than Michael Moore and his ilk, all of whom are suffering from mental delusions, the rest of us call this blame, not credit.

•  MS-13: A Transnational Terrorist Threat Ravaging America

It turns out AOC is their new leader now, and little Chuckie Schumer is in trouble ....serious trouble...  with his base.  Senator Kennedy said his strategy for defeating her is to just let her talk, and noted she's the reason why they put instructions on shampoo bottles.  But she appeals to a base that's just as nuts and radical as AOC and Chuckie is scared.  Why?  Well, he's always been great at puffing out his chest and talking big and bad, but there's a new sheriff in town, and he backed down and voted for the continuing resolution.  He's actually afraid now for his job, and his safety.  Well schadenfreude, that's how the SCOTUS justices felt when he sicced the mob on to them.   

But I think Chuckie may not have to worry about losing his job, at least to AOC, since it's clear she want's to be President.  It also seems clear she thinks she can get nominated, and get elected.   Nominated, really?  Well, given the Democrat bench who are giving the impression they're running: 

Cory Booker, Gavin Newsom, AOC, Buttigieg, Walz, Rahm Emanuel, Kamala, Jasmine Crockett, and Josh Shapiro.

With a clown car like that, she just might get the nomination.   But elected?  With the baggage they have, and the staff that's in place, I wouldn't bet the house on it. 

But there's a big worm in the Democrat apple.  The leadership and those who've been in the Congress for many years are going to be attacked by that same AOC radical base that supports her.   David Hogg says America's problems are the direct result of Democracy, and he's the Vice Chair of the DNC declaring war on the old guard Democrats. 

Janet Yellen proves what an idiot she is telling America having manufacturing return to America is  an undesirable pipe dream, and that gigantic intellect Whoopi Goldberg calls for higher taxes to keep the government big and well fed, and Ben Affleck, another overrated and over paid celebrity says, the taxpayers are being stingy with Hollywood.

Democrats have made fighting deportation and keeping illegal aliens like M-13 gang member Abrego Garcia in America their hill to die on, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.  And guess what?  America isn't happy about that.  Plus they seem to have missed the fact the President of El Salvador is not sending him back, and he doesn't care what the Democrats or their corrupt catspaws in the media or the federal judiciary says, so why are they still playing this game.  

Democrats are so stupid in their desire to appease some fraction of society, often an irrational faction, they run with the latest philosophical flavor of the day.  California lifted the statute of limitations on sex abuse lawsuits, and no one thought to ask what were going to be the consequences over this.  Well, it's going to cost them billions and billions of dollars with cases going back 40 years, and most of them are unprovable.  Will they repeal that law?  This is California, just raise taxes. 

Josh Shapiro aide scandal is bound to come up, and his catering to Muslims will most certain not help him with Jewish voters, except for those who are far left "useful idiot".  

In California Newsom has a lot of baggage.  Gas prices are set to surge because they're shutting down another refinery.   It appears Newsom is going to either force out all the energy producers in California, or put them under state control.  California hates white people, and decided to show their contempt by punishing white drivers two to five times more than minorities.  And that's fair, after all, Newsom needs that money to fight Trump.   

Young girls are upset they have to dress in front of boys in their schools, and the school boards seem irritated seemingly unwilling to understand what's their problem.  We can see why Texas has approved school choice, and I think we can potentially see this on the horizon for the nation, since it appears public education is failing to educate.   Just 30% of Illinois 4th graders read at proficiency standards.  Before the Department of Education was created 1979 "the level of reading proficiency in the United States was generally quite high, with illiteracy rates being low and declining. By 1950, illiteracy was below 3% in two-thirds of states, and below 10% in all states. Even the earlier measurements of illiteracy, which focused on basic reading and writing, showed the rate was less than 1% of the population 14 and over in 1979."

Newsom and his political cadre just can't seem to grasp that Trump really did win the election, even claiming there's a large grass roots movement against Trump.  Well, that might not be true as Monica Showalter says conservatives, or at least non-leftists, are coming close to winning elections in California.  Now that's a shocker.  But Newsom has his priorities.  Along with destroying the state's energy outlets, and punishing white people they've decided to prioritize illegal aliens for disaster aid, and they just gonna do all they can to fight Trump planning to sue the federal government for dismantling AmeriCorp.  And Newsom wants to share his values with the rest of America.   Imagine that.

In Michigan Senator Mike Rogers is attempting  to “MAGA-Wash” his record in hopes of winning back his Senate seat saying, “As your next senator, I won’t just represent Michigan. I’ll fight for it. I’ll stand with President Trump and we will deliver on the mandate given to him by the American people."  Wow! Imagine that.  That's abject heresy to the left, who will not vote for him, and conservatives won't believe him.  He's toast.  

There's nothing these leftists can't contaminate.  Colorado, a once solid red state until all those leftist migrants, who Michael Smith calls the hollow people, "untethered from the principles that make a civilization function", fled California and filled the state's major cities, turning, Colorado blue, we now find homelessness is up 90% since 2020. 

Here's what's happening.  Red states are on the rise, and Blue states are moving in that direction, and Texas has approved school choice, the teacher's unions are losing their grip on society, and it's long overdue, and we can thank their insane attachment to gender issues for a lot of that, not to mention their failure to teach the nation's children how to read, a massive increase in illiteracy has developed since 1979 when the Department of Education was created and started destroying education in America.  

That's a lot of baggage, and it's all coming to a head.

Observations From the Back Row

By Rich Kozlovich

 

Since FDR there's been this touchstone for accomplishment called the first 100 days.  Well, Trump has been President for 84 days, and what he's accomplished in that short time has been by far greater than any administration in history, and will go down in history as the most effective 100 days, while facing the most resistance to any President in history, including FDR.

 

The Democrat party is full of people suffering from a serious case of weird compounded by a massive infection of hubris. Universally deluged with big egos, bad attitudes, uncontrolled pettiness, unparalleled incompetence, unbounded arrogance, ignorance without parameters, intrepid stupidity beyond measure. 

The big difference between the resistance FDR faced and what Trump is facing is the Democrat party was still the "loyal" resistance, but no longer.  There's a reason they're called the party of treason, and it's because they are, and just like all the leftist dictators that ever lived they're doing everything to corrupt the rule of law to destroy Trump and all who subscribe to the traditional social paradigms that are foundational to American culture. 

Before the election they corrupted the rule of law, commonly called "lawfare", to prevent him from running for President.  That failed.  After the election the "lawfare" continued to in an attempt prevent him from ending the corruption of the vast administrative state.  That's failing and there's going to be some long term kickback over this corruption.

• Conservatives Shut out by ‘Big Law’ Have Little Sympathy as Firms Face Major Upset Under Trump

Finally it's gotten so outrageous it's causing the Congress to finally exercise their constitutional right to reign in these corrupt political hacks who've appointed to the federal judiciary.  But make no mistake, it will not stop.   Another Federal Judge Orders USDA to unfreeze funding to Maine as trans athletes dispute continues.  And again, the Trump administration intends to go forward with terminating Maine’s federal K-12 funding over this issue, and in the end, they'll win.   At some point I believe Trump may just say this is not within their Constitutional purview and take the Jacksonian view to openly defy their rulings.  

These are judges who seem to think was perfectly reasonable to shut down churches over this false covid pandemic, but it violates some imaginary constitution right when raided for harboring illegal immigrants.   There is no "Horns of the Alter" provision in the Constitution. 

One really big thing in his favor is it's becoming abundantly clear no matter how much the left rants and screams about these DOGE investigations,  DOGE keeps finding corruption and outrageous spending that has gone on at levels that is far beyond anything the so-called ''Conspiracy theorists" believed in, all of which the American public is shocked at.... on a daily basis..... and who believe the federal judiciary needs to be reigned in. 

• Illegal Immigrants on Terror Watchlist Received Medicaid, Unemployment Insurance: DOGE Many of them also received student loans, tax refunds, and food stamps, according to the Department of Government Efficiency. 

The left has screamed about freedom of speech forever, mostly based on the fact sane people don't want to hear what they're saying, but we now know it's all hypocrisy.  They hate freedom of speech that resists the latest leftist narrative of the moment, such as the idea that men can claim to be women, and women must accept it. Female students at George Mason University  are being punished for daring to question the right of men who claim to be women using women’s restrooms.  And even worse if female athletes dare to question the idea men can compete with women in sports. 

One profile in courage is female fencer Stephanie Turner, who "refused to fence against a man pretending to be a woman, and was "black- carded—fencing’s most serious sanction--and in an act of spite, tournament officials ejected her from the venue..... Turner knew her refusal to fence men would badly damage her ability to compete."  And why does USA Fencing support this fallacy?  According to their fencing coach, these trans need a “athletes a sense of belonging and a will to live is more powerful than medals and competitive glory.”

 

So, the purpose of sport is to give mentally ill men “a sense of belonging and a will to live?” Sport, particularly fencing, has nothing to do with “medals and competitive glory?” 

This isn't going to go away, and while there are no federal funds involved, they may lose their accreditation as "they are the National Governing Body (NGB) for the sport in the United States........the organization must comply with federal law........or risk losing (NGB) status........."  Have no doubt this needs fixed or they will destroy women's sports......Two Dudes Will Compete in National Fencing WOMEN’S Championship

There seems to be one court that has it's head on right.  The North Carolina Supreme Court Rules Most of the 65,000 Questionable Ballots Must Count in Hotly Contested Judicial Race.  Voter fraud is still a massive problem, and that must be the focus of conservatives.  A matter of lawfare in reverse, only having their facts in place, and it can be done with AI, just as DOGE has shown in their investigations.   

So much of all this starts with education and the leftist corruption of thought in our universities, and America is now all in on ending funding for these corrupt institution, especially those who've supported radical antisemites who aren't even Americans, but jihadists who hate America, Jews, Christianity, and western culture, and who, just like the Taliban believe this kind of violence is foundational to Islam.    The intifada in Germany claims another victim, and while it’s true not all Muslims are violent, but the fact is those who are swim in a sea of acceptance.  

• The Maximum Support Act: A bipartisan push for Iranian democracy and human rights

There's been a lot of kickback regarding regarding Pam Bondi and Kash Patel as to when  are we going to start seeing arrests:

 

But what truly caught fire online was the growing frustration from conservative grassroots. One user, reflecting the sentiments of millions of Americans sick of the two-tiered justice system, posted an image of high-profile Obama-era officials with the simple caption: “When is accountability coming for these people?”

1. Barack Obama – President during the weaponization of intelligence agencies.
2. James Clapper – DNI who misled Congress.
3. John Brennan – CIA Director who allegedly politicized intelligence.
4. James Comey – FBI Director at the helm of the Russia hoax.
5. Sally Yates and Loretta Lynch – Key DOJ officials during the anti-Trump operations.
6. Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce and Nellie Ohr, Andrew Weissmann, James Baker, and Stefan Halper – a cast of deep-state actors and informants involved in surveillance, leaks, and disinformation.

Well, the President has been in office a mere 84 days, Bondi has been there 71 and Patel 62 days, with both of them having to purge their departments massively.  Given the massive levels of corruption that the FBI and the DOJ must investigate, I don't know how they could possibly meet everyone's expectations.   First, they have to fire a host of people at the FBI and the DOJ, and then replace them with first rate, real law and order agents and prosecutors.  That's time consuming, and I have no doubt the hours they're putting in to accomplish that is draining, emotionally, physically, and intellectually.  Investigations take time, and putting together documentation and witnesses for this cases that will be effective is time consuming, if they actually want convictions.  

 

For the time being they merit a benefit of the doubt.  What I expect seeing is a "bit's and pieces" theme, such as  this Corrupt FBI Official Behind Russiagate and Hunter Biden’s Laptop Cover-Up FINALLY Placed on Administrative Leave, but these "bits and pieces" will expand and grow, but it takes time, and these investigations are going to work their way up the ladder, Russia Collusion Doc Drop: Why Did Crooked Hillary’s Lawyers Meet With the FBI Guy Who Started the Fake Probe?, all the more reason to take the time to do it right.

 

As we've watched the Obama and Biden administrations destroy the quality of the senior officers in the military it's stunning to realize the rest of the military wasn't on board, watch what happens when plans for restoration for Jesus painting at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.  Is that a theme playing out at all the military academies?  I don't know, but we're going to see the end of racial preferences in admissions at all of them, and I expect to see a serious change in attitude, especially as all these senior military Woke/DEI personnel Obama and Biden put in place are fired. 

 

Finally, this piece is really worth your time: 10 Environmentalist Myths.  We are not in a climate crisis, there are not too many people, we are not running out of fossil fuels, bio fuels will not replace traditional fuels, wind energy is a loser, renewable energy is a farce, housing restrictions are a prelude to tyrannous control of society, and mass transportation is part of the scheme, and the wilderness is not sacred.

Does it matter that our artistic culture is so bereft of greatness? It is not possible to measure the effect, but as Einstein said, not all that can be measured is important, and not all that is important can be measured. The purpose of society is not to produce great art, and yet a society that fails to do so will subsequently be thought the poorer for not having done so. There is no grandeur to it, only a dull, insipid, and uninspiring utilitarianism, however great its technical achievements. We may be able to communicate faster, more easily, and with more people than ever before—but we have nothing to communicate. - Empty Frames, by Theodore Dalrymple 

The Democrat's Palatine Hill, and The Seven Hills of Rome

Government can be defined in two words.  Corruption and Compromise.  Corruption on it's worst days, and compromise on its best days. 

 

By Rich Kozlovich

 

 

Palatine Hill?  What's the significance of that?   Of the Seven Hills of Rome, the Palatine Hill, was the center most, and is considered to be the most ancient parts of Rome.  It's also where the wealthy, privileged, and powerful built their palaces, surrounded by six hills filled with the lesser classes.

 

Think of Washington DC as America's Palatine Hill, and the center of America's administrative state, filled with the ideological "palaces" of the elite, powerful, and privileged, surrounded by lesser mortals whose views are dismissed .... arrogantly. 

On December 2014 Thomas Sowell published one of his many outstanding, "Random Thoughts on the Passing Scene", saying:

When the political left wants to help the black community, they usually want to help the worst elements in that community -- thugs they portray as martyrs, for example -- without the slightest regard for the negative effect this can have on the lives of the majority of decent black people.....

 

If anyone in the mainstream media is at a loss for what New Year's resolution to make, try this: Stop "spinning" or censoring stories about race, and try telling the plain truth, if only for the novelty of it.....

 

There are few modest talents so richly rewarded -- especially in politics and the media -- as the ability to portray parasites as victims, and portray demands for preferential treatment as struggles for equal rights........ 

 

Has anyone asked the question, "How could so many people across the country spend so much time at night marching, rioting and looting, if they had to get up and go to work the next morning?"........ 

 

Republicans complain when Democrats call them racists. But when have you ever heard a Republican counterattack? You don't win by protesting your innocence or whining about the unfairness of the charge. Yet when have you heard a Republican reply by saying, "You're a lying demagogue without a speck of evidence. Put up or shut up!"...

That was ten years ago, and things have changed.  For the left, all things are either racist, or Islamophobic, but this administration, conservatives, and the alternate media aren't letting that slide.  They're attacking!  What must really be driving the left crazy, especially the media, is that conservatives don't care what they think or what they're saying.  They're either attacking the left and humiliating them, or worse yet, laughingly at them with a "no one cares what you say attitude" because you're certifiably nuts.   

After 2008 the track was cleared for total big government tyranny with the election of Obama. The Democrats were always able to hide who they really were with the support of the Pravda media, and get elected via voter fraud, but it was clear where Obama was taking the nation, and if Hillary had been elected, it might have even been worse. After Biden it was impossible to claim otherwise, and they’re not even trying to hide the tyranny they wish to impose on the nation…. not to mention bankruptcy.

Here’s where I’m going with this. They have no bench. Not one of those who could be the nominee in 2028 can ever portray themselves as anything but far left tyrants who would destroy the Constitution, including former VP candidate Tim Walz, who unlike the rest of them is incapable of hiding the fact he's nuts.  Josh Shapiro was their best bet, but, now there’s a murder case in his state in which he may be implicated. A case where a woman was stabbed 20 times, once in the back, and it was called suicide. And he was their best bet?

As for the 2026 midterms, if the administration goes after all the states for their voter fraud issues, I’m convinced the House Democrats will lose massively, and it’s possible the Republicans can get 60 seats in the Senate. But the nationwide criminal network for voter fraud must be crushed, and as many as possible end up in jail for it…. a massive RICO investigation is warranted, and things are changing at the grass roots, and seemingly among a significant number of young people who are moving to the right.  This last election drove home how the Democrats made a "hot mess" of just about everything, and are clinging to their "hot mess" because to change would mean telling the world they're wrong on everything they support, and become conservatives.  They would have to become the kind of people they hate and despise beyond reason.  They won't change because they can't change, they can only be crushed.  These are the hills the Democrats will die on.

After reading what I've listed here I think it's incumbent on everyone to ask, and answer, two questions, especially after Trump's address to Congress.  Do these people sound and act sane, and if not, does treason qualify as a mental disorder?  As for sane, here's one of their heroes who thinks Trump is actively trying to destroy the nation because he hates America.  I think that answers the sanity part at any rate.

ANTISEMITISM

 

And With That Number, the Democrats Are the Party of Antisemitism and Hamas - Either I missed the polling, or one was never done. It’s likely the former; sorry, folks, I’ve been enjoying the winning and return to normalcy under Donald Trump that I missed this shocking, though also unsurprising poll regarding the Democrats’ attitudes toward the State of Israel. The party was once a bastion for Israeli support, but that’s changed since the “woke” zombies took over. All I can say is that’s a lot of Democrats who hate Jews. Also, the donkey party is now the one which supports Hamas, antisemitism, and let’s say it—neo-Nazism. ......

 

Hollywood Hates Jews - “I’ve had someone say to me, ‘Let’s not forget what Hollywood is made up of. Be careful,’”  Guy Pearce told a Jewish writer at Vanity Fair in response to a question about his attacks on Israel.  In an industry where talent has been cancelled for the most minor perceived offenses against political correctness, Pearce’s remarks went unnoticed and he was rewarded with an Oscar nomination for playing an antisemite on screen in The Brutalist and in real life. Contrast that with the backlash against ‘Karla Sofia’ Gascon, starring in Emilia Perez, the Oscar frontrunner, over old Spanish-language tweets speaking out against Black Lives Matter and Islam, which he has already apologized for several times..........

 

Israel again incurs the world’s ‘outrage’ - One of the things that’s a hallmark of a world without a moral compass is that it’s lost touch with reality. We see that in America with the insistence that sex is a mental construct, not a biological reality, a fantasy that’s led to child mutilation, adult mutilation, women raped in prisons, and a general unleashing of immoral insanity across America’s institutions. Germany’s unhinged Jew hatred also led it to the madness of genocide and a destructive belief that it could use its military to conquer the world.......

Tampon Tim Claims America Was Stolen by “Fascists” and “Nazis” - Former vice presidential candidate and Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was caught claiming that America is being stolen by “fascists and Nazis,” according to an alleged recording of his statements. Walz defended the Democratic Party’s loud protests against President Donald Trump and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) overseer Elon Musk by stating that his party wants to protect the U.S. from so-called “Nazis,” according to a recording obtained by Alpha News.

Nobody likes Brandon -Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago is getting a quick lesson on performance approval polls. It turns out that lousy mayors and governors get bad approval numbers. Here is the story: In January 2023, shortly before the February Chicago mayoral elections, former Mayor Lori Lightfoot had a dismal 22% approval rating. Current Mayor Brandon Johnson’s approval has now sunk even lower, to only 6.6% in the latest poll, as issues such as rising crime concern residents of the Windy City. In the latest poll from M3 Strategies, which surveyed 696 likely Chicago voters Feb. 20-21, 67% said that crime was one of the top three issues facing Chicago, followed by high taxes at 54% and inflation at 41%.  Who knew that voters concerned about crime, high taxes, and inflation would say "thumbs down" when talking about their mayor?.............

Carville: Trump 'Collapse' Is Already Underway - During an appearance on Thursday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” long-time Democrat strategist and media commentator James Carville declared the collapse of President Donald Trump to be underway already.

Dem Rep Reveals the Party's Grand Plan to Defeat Donald Trump -  Democrats could quickly turn things around if they focus on job creation, fairer trade deals, and not being weirdos. They may be past the point of no return, as they claim the work that President Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency are doing is unpopular—it’s not. Now, we talk of oligarchies and other messages that are still clearly aimed for the elitist wing of the party. .........

Easy to be stupid - Leftists have traditionally clung to at least some degree of power by making it really easy to be stupid. Why bother going to the trouble of taking care of yourself when there’s usually some kind of “social” program that can better do that for you? Back during the “Great” Recession of 2008, Nancy Pelosi expressed the epitome of this kind of thinking: “For every dollar we spend on increased unemployment benefits, the economy expands by $1.25.” Really? Were that anywhere close to true, we’d all be better off by just staying home, watching TV, and guzzling beer. Oh, yeah… who’s going to produce the TV shows and brew the beer?.......

 

Hakeem Jeffries Had Yet Another Bad Sunday Show Appearance -  As we covered at the time last week, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) certainly floundered during his Sunday show appearance on ABC News' "This Week" during his interview with Jonathan Karl. Jeffries kept ranting about prices, even when confronted by Karl about President Donald Trump's high approval ratings. Another Sunday, and another Sunday show appearance has gone by, with Jeffries once more being confronted about approval ratings, this time for members of his own party......

Same Ol' Situation, Same Ol' Democrat Party - believe one of the reasons why these leftists come up with this tomfoolery is to hide their history, which is one of slavery, secession, segregation, and socialism. None of these S-words have had any positive benefit on the Black community and America as a whole. The Democrat party has been and continues to be, a party that is focused on the two forms of enslavement—physical and economic. It is a party that embraces a principle of totalitarian control over the lives of the individual, something antithetical to the American experiment of self-governance and individual sovereignty. I mean, who else would reject the ideals of natural rights theory and see it as a threat? And if you really want to laugh, watch the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, then-Senator Joe Biden, question SCOTUS nominee Clarence Thomas on Natural Rights Theory.

This is the Left Mark Lewis - We know that, in principle, theory, and dogma, the Left, the modern Democratic Party, is a Marxist, anti-traditional American, anti-God, amoral movement.  It’s not just politics; it is an entire worldview.  In this article, I’m not going to explain the philosophic underpinnings of Leftism (I’ve done that in countless articles before); I intend to list some specific and very clear examples of what Leftism has produced—in word and deed.  This is the Left.  This is what they actually do and say........

 

Are some Trump voters really already tired of winning? - Sadly, many folks actually do get tired of winning. Or, more accurately in this case, many simply get exhausted by the rapid pace of change that President Trump has brought to the otherwise bloated, stale, entrenched, and corrupt government. Many voted for “hope and change” in the guise of Barack Hussein Obama, and never had a problem with him weaponizing nearly every federal government agency against his political opponents, because he did so surreptitiously, behind the scenes, hiding this from the citizens he supposedly served. Trump, on the other hand, and his right-hand-man Elon Musk, have been in-your-face transparent. This blitzkrieg push for efficiency and transparency is exactly what the country needs, yet has left some folks feeling overwhelmed. And it has, predictably, led to Democrats, Deep Staters, and mainstream media outlets alike going ballistic and — in some cases -- threatening violence and civil war against the administration.

 

Naive Liberals - We do not live in an entirely peaceful or civilized world.  Conservatives realize that fact and wish to prepare for the worst by strengthening our military, shoring up the value of our currency, and ensuring economic prosperity.  In contrast, liberals live in a fantasy land, in which everyone is presumed to be “nice” and no other nation wishes to harm us......

Democrats in the Wilderness - The Democrat party appears determined to spend the next 40 years wandering in the wilderness. There have been no fruitful reflections leading to productive responses to the drubbing Democrats took in the 2024 national elections. The few Cassandras who think some change in course is required are considered by Democrat elitists to be dinosaurs worthy of disdain.......

The Soul of the Democrats - As Japan’s defeat during World War II became obvious, many of its soldiers performed harakiri -- a ritual suicide by disembowelment using a sword -- as an honorable alternative to surrendering. Perhaps one of the most notable moments of a U.S. presidential candidate performing political harakiri occurred in March 2004.   Explaining his vote in support of $87 billion for our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Democrat candidate Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass) responded, "I actually voted in favor of the $87 billion before I voted against it." His words famously became reduced to “I was for it before I was against it.” Critics had a field day with this, accusing Kerry of wanting to have it both ways in trying to be everything to everybody. The flip-flop effectively derailed his campaign......

 

Democrats fecklessly continue to sabotage themselves - Democrats are hysterical over Trump’s response to Zelensky’s bad manners and decision to scuttle the rare earth minerals deal he had agreed to sign.  They claimed, instantly, that Trump was responsible for the blow-up, but that is nonsense.  Trump reacted to Zelensky’s insolent eye-rolling and constant interruptions like a normal person; like a good parent to a rude and incorrigible child.  He did not let Zelensky get away with his overt disrespect in the White House.......

 

LeftSpeak - Leftist newspeak and wordsmithing have evolved to the point that a new English-to- LeftSpeak dictionary need-be established should any communication between the left and traditional English speakers be salvaged.  For starters:  Democracy:  Government by a permanent, unelected, leftist bureaucracy.– Fascism: Any leadership not subservient to the progressive deep state. – Constitutional crisis: Anything said or done by the Trump Administration.– Existential threat: Any challenge to the progressive agenda......(and much more)

Clinton Foundation’s USAID Fraud: Billions of US Tax Dollars Are Missing From Haiti Relief Projects -  There are those that say all government aid is a scam in one way or another, and so far the revelations surrounding USAID are proving those people right daily.  Democrats and the establishment media, in a bid to muddy the waters and save face, continue to claim that there was never any fraud at USAID and that the Trump Administration is simply labeling projects they “disagree with” as suspect.  Of course, spending American tax dollars on projects the public never asked for............

Democrats defend the indefensible - In less than a month after his triumphant return to the White House, President Donald Trump has turned the Washington, D.C. establishment on its head. We have never seen a new administration act with such gusto while delivering on so many campaign promises in such a short period of time. So far, Trump has effectively sealed the Southern border; deported thousands of illegal immigrants with criminal records; eliminated Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs in the federal government; protected female athletes from competing against males; unleashed the American energy sector; and exposed just how rotten and corrupt the federal bureaucracy has become.............

 

This Article Only Makes These Whiny Federal Workers Look Worse-The Department of Government Efficiency and Elon Musk will continue to be attacked by the media, but it will do no good. Americans support their work in uprooting government waste and potential fraud. They want the DC workforce slashed. Yes, Democrats, this is what we voted for; you just weren’t paying attention.............The latest Axios article tries to drum up sympathy for these people facing layoffs, but it won’t move the needle. It will only elicit feelings of schadenfreude or anger: millions of people have endured job loss and anxiety associated with it. Government employment was never meant to be permanent or protected (via Axios):

 

Democrats Won’t Fund Government Unless Trump Stops Overriding Congress - Representative Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) said Democrats will not vote to fund the government unless President Donald Trump stops overriding Congress spending. Auchincloss said, “Checks and balances, the separation of powers is going to be the dominant theme of this first year of Donald Trump’s presidency — the presidency. Article 2 is in a boxing match with Congress. Article 1 and the court’s Article 3 over our ability to prevent an imperial presidency. The Supreme Court has, at least here, held its own in round one. Round two is going to be Congress and the presidency boxing over appropriations. Congress has claim on the power of the purse. Speaker Mike Johnson is definitely not a prize fighter. And so Democrats are going to have to step up and insist that to fund the government this spring the president needs to respect the fact that one, he cannot use emergency powers to spend money that we did not appropriate. And number two, he  has to appropriate the funds that we have called for. That is the power of the purse. That is not up for debate.”........

 

Is DOGE negativity being overhyped by the Dems? - AMAC Newsline columnist Andrew Shirley pointed out an interesting bit of forgotten history about Bill Clinton’s reduction of the federal workforce.  It seems Bill Clinton made even more extreme cuts to the federal workforce during his second term in office than has the Trump/Musk DOGE team.  This history has apparently been conveniently forgotten, or purposely buried, by the mainstream media so they can continually b...last anyone and everyone connected with DOGE like it’s causing an end of the world disaster.

 

Hakeem Jeffries Was Asked to Provide Evidence of GOP Cuts to Medicaid and His Answer Was a Train Wreck - House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has the same problem many a Democrat has right now: he can deliver the talking points, but when pressed, he collapses into a mumbling mess. It was a marvel to witness. The New York Democrat was doing his part, trying to gin up fear about the budget reconciliation process, which cleared its first big hurdle this week. Speaker Mike Johnson got all but one of the defecting Republicans back on board, which was enough to pass the resolution with a 217-213 vote. We still have a ways to go, but this was a huge win. Yet, Democrats insist that Medicaid will be cut. ......

Axios: Wrong (again) on Trump tax cuts -So much misinformation.  Hard-left Axios  has taken on the Trump/Republican tax cuts, and as usual, it either misses the point or wittingly presents falsehoods to its readership in service to its DNC masters............In years past, we might have expected, and certainly experienced, the typical response, but as we’ve seen with Trump 47, the  typical response  has been thrown out the window. Axios knows, or should know, that lower tax  rates, as instituted by Trump 45, George Bush, Ronald Reagan, and John F. Kennedy increased (not decreased) federal revenues.   Lower tax  rates  stimulate investment and growth (GDP).   Revenue is the result of Rates x Investment x Growth.  .......

The radical left is boycotting companies abandoning leftist insanity - Today might be a great day to go shopping. If you’ve already been to Walmart, Target, or other major retailers, you might have noticed that the people there looked...well, normal. No blue hair. No nose rings. No giant holes in their earlobes. No tattoos. No “Free Palestine” t-shirts. No bearded men in dresses and heels. It might have looked strangely like shopping in 1985, at the height of Reagan’s America....

 

Liberal Celebs Push “Economic Blackout” to Tank Economy - The “we love this country so much we want to destroy it” crowd is back at it. An effort to encourage U.S. consumers to participate in a day of protest by not spending money Friday has picked up momentum online, with thousands of people across social media saying they plan to take part in the “economic blackout.” Started roughly a month ago by John Schwarz, a Chicago-area meditation and mindfulness educator, the idea has taken off on social media, where searches for the term surface hundreds of posts of people sharing screenshots of infographics and encouraging others to participate in the protest. Google’s search data shows queries for “economic blackout” have surged in recent days........

 

Harris Faulkner Asks Democrat Contributor What Ideas Democrats Have to “Improve the Economy” -  Fox News host Harris Faulkner suggested to Democratic contributor Leslie Marshall on Tuesday that the Democrats had not offered any ideas to make the economy better, even as they criticized President Donald Trump.  Some congressional Democrats have plans to bring egg cartons highlighting the increased price of eggs, noisemakers or signs opposing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to Trump’s Tuesday night address to a joint session of Congress. After Faulkner asked Marshall about the reported antics, she then brought up whether Democrats had any proposals to address the economy.

Why no positive messaging from Democrats?”......

GOP Congress: Let’s protect women’s ‘Gaines’ in sports -Democrats wear white to presidential speeches to show “support for women,” but vote against women’s interests. Let’s show them how it’s really done tonight, and dress up for Riley Gaines when President Trump addresses Congress....

 

 Democrats Choose Fake Women Over Real Women—Again -  The Democratic Party has once again shown us exactly where their priorities lie—and it's not with protecting women and girls. On Monday, Senate Democrats banded together to block a common-sense bill to keep biological males from invading women's sports.  The Republican-led Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act fell short of the 60 votes needed to overcome the Democrats' filibuster. Every single Democrat who voted opposed the bill. Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) and Peter Welch (D-Vt.) didn't even bother to show up. Apparently, protecting girls and women from having to compete against biological males with inherent physical advantages isn't important enough for Democrats to support.......

 

Senate Dems Unanimously Vote to Keep Trans Athletes in Women’s Sports - A U.S. Senate bill to prevent men from participating in women’s sports failed to overcome the 60-vote threshold needed to pass the filibuster on Monday night.  The bill came down to a strict 51-45 vote along party lines, with Democrat Sens. Elissa Slotkin (MI) and Peter Welch (VT) abstaining. Per Fox News:............

Your ‘inseminated person’ should know - They are crazy up in Wisconsin, especially at the Governor’s office.  What are they smoking or putting in their coffee?  Your guess is as good as mine, but the governor is proposing a change to how we refer to “mom,” having decided that “inseminated person” is a better descriptor.  I couldn’t believe this story and had to read it twice to make sure it was true. On the other side, here comes Doug Schoen, a sane Democrat who probably sends his mother a card purchased in the Mother’s Day section at your favorite store, has a message for the Democrats.  This is the story:....

Donald Trump takes down Maine's Governor - Donald Trump is unlike any previous politician. He’s certainly unlike any previous President. Politicians, particularly at the highest levels, normally keep hard realities and words behind closed doors. Quizzed later, they characterize such confrontations as “frank and productive exchanges.” Riiiight. This has been so partly to support the idea that politicians are uniformly wise and benevolent statesmen, people whose only concern is the welfare of their constituents. They’re beings of superior intellect and morality, above the failings of lesser beings, perfect in form, style, function and intention..............

 

A majority of Democrats believe there are more than two sexes -poll - A survey by Quinnipiac, taken Feb. 13-17, revealed that 96% of Republicans agree with President Trump’s executive order affirming that there are only two sexes, while an astounding and depressing 77% of Democrats oppose the order, apparently believing there to be God-knows-how-many different sexes. Only 14% of Democrats support the order. 59% of independents support the order.

 

Maine Needs A New State Slogan - Maine is one of those delusional states that refuses to get out of its own way. The state slogan is Dīrigō, which is Latin for "I direct" or "I lead," based on its once being the only state to hold its elections in September.  Those days have long passed, and Maine, based on recent decisions within the state, needs to adopt a more realistic slogan. Something closer to the truth would be ignorantia, meaning ignorance and want of knowledge, or more appropriately, inscitia, meaning ignorance, folly, inexperience, incompetence, incompetency, and want of skill. Maine, you see, is one of those states that has evolved into a state of an alternative reality. ..............

It Appears Democrats Have Finally Picked a Hill to Die On - Democrats are doubling down on left-wing gender ideology despite their viewpoints being increasingly unpopular with the average American. The vast majority of Americans support reversing the Biden administration’s extreme approach to transgender issues, including barring biological males from participating in women’s sports. But Democratic lawmakers, including those representing congressional districts President Donald Trump won in November, are continuing to push left-wing stances on transgender issues that are seemingly at odds with their own voters...........“Every Democrat who voted against keeping biological males out of girls’ sports is showing the American people that they care more about bowing to the radical left than protecting young women,” Congressional Leadership Fund spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole told the DCNF.

After This Vote, the Dems Show They Really Haven't Learned Anything From Their 2024 Loss - It’s pretty simple: men shouldn’t be playing in women’s sports. The Left can say that trans women are women all day—it doesn’t negate the fact that they’re dudes. It’s science fiction. It’s also veered into a bizarre cult-like obsession. It didn’t take long for this issue to become virtually 80/20 in support of keeping males out of these competitions. We won’t uproot societal order to cater to a small minority; they will have to deal with it.....

Birthright citizenship and Democrat hypocrisy  - Congress passed the 14^th Amendment on June 13, 1866, more than a year after the Civil War ended. It then required three-fourths of our states to ratify it. This occurred on July 9, 1868, with South Carolina being the 28^th state. Most everyone (except those who prefer white robes and hoods) agreed that the 14^th Amendment was the right thing to do to help our nation heal after the bloody Civil War. Doing more than giving former slaves citizenship, its impact is still felt today. The 14^th Amendment: .......

Clyburn: Woke and DEI Are Substitutes for N-Word - On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Laura Coates Live,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said Gen. CQ Brown was removed as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff due to his race and responded to pushback that other officials who are white were dismissed by stating that Brown got called “woke” and “DEI” and “they are substituting these acronyms for the n-word. So, why would you apply the term woke to Gen. Brown? What does that mean?” Clyburn began by saying,” I believe that everybody knows what an outstanding soldier Gen. Brown is and has been, for many, many years. He has a 40-year career in the military. Nobody has found any fault with him. Because of his skin color, he has been declared DEI or woke.”..........

 Van Jones: Brown Was Fired Due to ‘Slander that He’s Woke and DEI’ - On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Laura Coates Live,” CNN Political Commentator and former Obama Adviser Van Jones said that the only reason he can find to dismiss Gen.

Well, if you are the head of a military that is multiracial and multicultural and you want it to be cohesive, you need to have policies in place to help that happen.”.....

“DEI Isn’t for Us”: Black-Owned Businesses Say Diversity Policies Don’t Work - Some black-owned businesses are blowing the whistle on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, telling Reuters that the initiatives have not been effective in helping out black people and other minority business owners. Black business owners are now saying that they have not benefited much from diversity efforts intended to help them, and are largely unfazed by the Trump administration rolling back DEI programs nationwide, Reuters reported on Tuesday. The report comes amid President Donald Trump’s ongoing efforts to crack down on DEI initiatives in the U.S., including in universities and across the federal government.............

E pluribus, infirmitas? - I always do a mental double-take when someone says, “Diversity is our strength.”  Perhaps it depends on context.  Our military, for instance, includes men and women of various races and religions, yet their training emphasizes conformity to ensure unity and effectiveness.  Historically, the most stable societies share customs, language, and cultural norms — at least enough to function cohesively.  Differences exist, of course, but when they become too extreme or numerous, friction often follows, sometimes escalating into civil unrest.  Tensions between Asians and African-Americans in certain U.S. jurisdictions illustrate this dynamic........

The Democrats These Last 75 Years -The Kennedy years are often called Camelot. However, it was not quite the romance. The long Cold War had begun; a failed attempt to put Castro out of business at the Bay of Pigs was planned during the Eisenhower administration but was reluctantly carried out by Kennedy. JFK was hesitant only because he didn't want the world to know what was already common knowledge: the United States was planning and carrying out a coup in Cuba. Later, the Cuban Missile Crisis was a contest to see who would blink first.............

It was one of those exhausting situations where your brain, heart, and soul felt like punching bags..........

Susan Rice misleads Americans again - Susan Rice was the UN Ambassador and behind the scenes Democrat/socialist/communist (D/s/c) whisperer who blatantly lied about the Benghazi attack. She claimed the murder of multiple Americans was just a protest over a video that got out of hand. Rice was quickly forced to admit she made a harmless little mistake and didn’t mean to mislead anyone. As the BBC noted at the time “Republicans were unconvinced.” So was anyone with a functional BS detector. Americans weren’t buying her lies then any more than they are now.....

The viral lie of how censorship is a ‘vaccine’ to freedom of speech - “Freedom of speech is a virus. Censorship is the vaccine.” This chilling mantra, echoed in the corridors of power throughout Europe and the UK, has become the unspoken creed of a globalist left eager to maintain control. It serves as a seductive soundbite for those who fear the chaos of open discourse—a justification for silencing dissent under the guise of protecting the public. But beneath its clinical facade lies a profound betrayal of the principles that shaped the modern world. If freedom of speech falters, it won’t be an isolated casualty; it will drag down every other right with it...........

‘Grinding the Democrats Down’: Sen. Markwayne Mullin on Trump’s Cabinet and the GOP Game Plan - The following is an edited transcript of an interview between Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley and U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) on a Sunday edition of Morning Wire. So far, President Trump is batting a thousand on confirmations for his cabinet secretary nominees. Just this week Kash Patel was confirmed as Director of the FBI while Labor Secretary Linda Chavez-DeRemer seems to have secured the support of the Senate. This is the fastest pace since 2001. Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin joined Morning Wire to discuss Trump’s cabinet nominees, the Senate’s strategic approach to the confirmation process, and the significance of the GOP’s “Big Tent” strategy in uniting diverse political factions within the Republican Party...........

 

 Why Republicans’ Old Tricks Aren’t Working On Trump This Time -  Donald Trump has spent eight years in and around Washington. Though he has persuaded a fair number of congressional Republicans to adopt a new tune, he has had a harder time getting them to change the lyrics. They still did much of what they wanted, even as they picked up a few new slogans. Lukewarm Republicans clung to the Bush-era policies Trump specifically ran against, but most learned to dress up their views in pro-Trump language and gestures.
