And Dems thought that was better than what Kamala could muster. They are in shambles.

They are getting trounced in the common sense war.

It is a rule of thumb for political parties to emphasize popular positions while deemphasizing stances disfavored by the public. Politics ain’t beanbag, but it ain’t rocket science, either.

Democrats have been struggling with this lately.

Last week, the party and its legacy media allies were given ample opportunity to win a few news cycles, such as when President Donald Trump announced his desire to “take over” Gaza, offending both “America First” Republicans and pro-Palestinian progressives. Instead, they spent the week defending deeply unpopular ideas and emphasizing all the wrong news items.

The week began with Democrats blasting Trump’s executive order that banned biological males from competing in girls sports. The problem, of course, is that 79% of the public currently supports the measure, which is up 17 points since 2021. Even 67% of Democrats support the order. But prominent Democratic politicians and news outlets made it seem as if Trump had ordered a genocide.

An article on NPR titled “Trump’s anti-trans effort is an agenda cornerstone with echoes in history” compared the executive order to Germany in the 1930s.

I can't even believe that the media is trying to defend deporting illegal aliens who are not just illegal but have committed crimes in the USA (beyond being illegal). JD Vance is a master at this. In addition to IAs, the media was schooled on the pardons and commutations.

Flying under the radar, the Feds said that Hunter was guilty of funneling at least $3m from illegal sources (surprise they waited until Joe was out of office and pardoned Hunter) and the CIA said that Wuhan virus was likely from a lab. Not much reporting on either in the media.

She's got a long and successful political career ahead of her if she so chooses to pursue it. Perhaps the next SCOTUS justice.

LOL.... Yeah, it is sad.

One can certainly say she was trespassing, but if you add a little context in light of arsonists not being charged in the George Floyd riots, it does seem a bit off.

If you can imagine, I’m all of 5’1″ and 122 pounds but the FBI sent seven armed agents to arrest me — and they put me in shackles and handcuffs.

I had no criminal record and there are actual criminals who are not met with that kind of force. It was probably the worst day of my life. Even though I always thought I might be arrested, it was still a horrible shock when it happened.

I was only 21 when I went down to the Capitol. I was just going to meet friends at the Trump rally. We had no plans beyond that and we certainly never had any idea how the day was going to unfold.

I was in a vacant meeting room [in the Capitol] for all of two minutes. It looked like it was all turning into a bad situation so we all kind of left at the same time. I think there were [outside] agitators there.

It was at the point where they [the rioters] were all taking furniture. I only ever touched the table that the government said later I had passed out the window. I didn’t pass it to anyone. At that moment, I just touched it. That was it. Their evidence is of me touching that table, nothing more.

I figured the police knew I was there because I posted a video of myself outside the Capitol on social media and it was up for a few days. I’m pretty sure one of my followers reported me to the FBI.

this was another Democrat pay-to-play organization set up by the Indian-in-Chief, Liz Warren. It is basically a way to strong-arm financial institutions into getting them to buy into other stuff. I've experienced this first hand.

Consolidation in the industry under a private equity group has apparently made getting replacement parts a long and laborious process.

Los Angeles Doesn't Have Enough Fire Trucks Thanks To Private Equity

The Los Angeles Fire Department has trucks, to be sure, but many of those trucks are sitting around awaiting desperately-needed repairs. Those repairs require parts, and parts have to come from manufacturers — manufacturers increasingly wrapped up in the U.S. fire engine monolith that is the REV Group, a conglomerate assembled by private equity firm American Industrial Partners.

And there are issues with getting new trucks:

Even when fire departments can put together these large sums of money for new trucks, they can’t seem to get the dang things because of steep delays in production. Since 2019, “The lead times for delivery from the date the order is placed for a new a fire truck to final inspection has gone from 10-12 months to greater than 2 years in many cases and in some cases approaching 3 years.”

Another corruptocrat bites the dust.

The author of attached article believes the crooked census robbed the Rs of 15 House seats and probably at least six Electoral votes.

Explains why the only prediction I missed was a 15 seat House majority.

He has several articles explaining how he came to this conclusion. They not only miscounted people but using the number of illegals in Congressional reapportionment caused major chznges.

This needs to be corrected. Congressional seats should not be awarded based on how many illegals are in a state. It is this abuse that was a major driver of the wide open borders and trying to find says to bring in far more immigrants.

Trump should write an EO…..which would immediately be challenged in court. But doing so would make it a headline story and get people behind it.

Congress should also introduce legislation to stop using illegals in reapportionment. And that would also be challenged.

So Rs should start on a Constitutional Amendment all at the same time. This three pronged approach would motivate people who are sick of the problems massive immigration had caused.

Time to strike now while the electorate is hot.

FAILURE........ lol...

OXON HILL, Md.—The newly elected chairman of the Democratic Party gripped the sides of his lectern and strained to articulate the awesome task before him. “If it’s not us, who is it?” Ken Martin pleaded. “Who’s going to be out there actually taking on Donald Trump? It has to be the Democratic Party. We have to get into this fight.”

Many Democrats lately are asking the same question—and skeptical that their party has what it takes. As they despairingly watch President Trump dismantle the federal government, reverse decades of policy and attack all they hold dear, the opposition party is reeling, demoralized and at a loss for how to respond. Last week’s Democratic National Committee meeting that elevated Martin to head the party apparatus provided little indication that the party has figured out a way forward.

Martin, a slight 51-year-old in a dark suit and blue tie, stood in front of a wall of signs reading “YES WE KEN” and “ORGANIZE.” A graphic showed a guppy with Trump hair being pursued by a school of red, white and blue fish, representing people power. The erstwhile chairman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, as it is known there, had won a majority of votes from the members of the DNC on the first ballot. Addressing the media shortly afterward, Martin vowed to “give people hope again that our party’s fighting for them.”

Despite a hotly contested race for the chair position that got nasty as it went down to the wire, there was little to distinguish Martin from his main competitor, Ben Wikler, the chairman of the Wisconsin Democratic Party. Two middle-aged Midwestern white men with rhyming first names and similar résumés agreed on most things and mouthed similar platitudes about the importance of winning back the working class, making similar promises to increase transparency, grow grassroots power and hone the party’s messaging machine. To the extent a distinction could be drawn, Martin was regarded as the insiders’ candidate, Wikler as the relative outsider. Martin benefited from yearslong relationships with his fellow party regulars, while Wikler was endorsed by top officials including the Democratic leaders of the House and Senate.

All of the candidates could agree that the situation facing the party is dire. The Democratic brand is in the toilet, with a recent Wall Street Journal poll showing 60% of Americans view the party unfavorably while only 36% see it favorably. Democrats lost ground with nearly every demographic group last November, including minorities, women, low-income voters and those without college degrees. “Twenty big cities, Aspen and Martha’s Vineyard—that’s what’s left of the Democratic Party,” lamented former congressional candidate Adam Frisch. “And I’m not exactly sure those 20 big cities are getting the best version of the Democratic Party.” Frisch, who lives in Aspen, ran in a red district in rural Colorado; he overperformed the top of the ticket but still fell short.

Yet as the would-be leaders bickered over party mechanics, the very pathologies that many critics argue have alienated Democrats from the American heartland were on display: a party captive to leftist activists, obsessed with divisive litmus tests, out of touch with regular people’s concerns and in thrall to a patronizing identity politics that alienates many of the very minorities it is meant to attract. Nor did anyone dare to argue that the prior administration’s failures might have contributed to voters’ sour view of Democrats, that former President Joe Biden dragged the party down or that former Vice President Kamala Harris was a mediocre candidate. The party’s departing chairman, Jaime Harrison, has been giving interviews standing by his view that Biden shouldn’t have dropped out of the presidential race; his would-be successors had nothing but praise for his tenure. The party’s leaders were vowing to turn the page, but it was clear many things have yet to change.

Gotta love Schiff making an ass of himself. As a senator.
