It's not just California and New York. Blue states all across the nation are committing political & economic suicide by targeting millionaires with high taxes. Who will suffer most from this misguided, ideologically driven push to "punish" the wealthy? Wage workers and the poor, of course. Leftist Democrats calling for states to "tax the rich" are ignoring the fact that the rich can exit their state – taking jobs, tax revenue, and the right to Congressional Seats with them.
Senate Republicans have been encouraging President Trump to endorse Senator John Cornyn in an upcoming Primary Run-Off Race – and the President has upped the stakes in his endorsement tease by adding that the candidate he declines to endorse should exit the race. Cornyn's opponent, Ken Paxton, at first promised to withdraw only if the Senate passed the "SAVE Act" – which he know is unlikely to happen – and then he withdrew his offer to withdraw.
Democrats have had trouble in recent years attracting conservative evangelical voters, who mostly vote for Republicans. In 2000, former Vice President Al Gore gave it a try. He failed badly when he said the first instance of pollution in the Bible is when "Abel's blood cried out from the ground" after his brother Cain murdered him. Gore said this meant Abel's blood had "defiled" or "polluted" the ground, rendering it incapable of yielding crops. Not exactly.
State Senator James Talarico beat out Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett for the party’s nomination Tuesday by a healthy, though not embarrassing, margin. Under normal circumstances, with normal people, this would just be an election where one candidate won and the other lost. But we are dealing with Democrats here, and they are anything but normal people, and that makes for abnormal circumstances.
Most students of history have likely pondered the question: Is it the times that make the man, or is it the man that makes the times? Rarest of all is the man who is summoned and elevated by the times, and also has the courage and conviction to shape the times in return. It is the lattermost group who are the truly great men of history. Tehran's "death to America" chants since 1979 have been daily, and its anti-American atrocities legion. With "Operation Epic Fury," President Trump isn't starting a new forever war — he's ending one.
“They have roughly 10,000 kilograms of material – roughly 460 kilograms of 60% Enriched Uranium, and another 1,000 kilograms of 20% Enriched Uranium. The 60% materials can be brought to 90% – that’s weapon grade, weapons grade – in roughly one week, maybe 10 days at the outside... Both the Iranian negotiators said to us – with no shame – they controlled 460 kilograms of 60%, and they’re aware that could make 11 nuclear bombs,” Witkoff said. "That was the beginning of their negotiating stance."
Sure, failure is cooked into Democrat's crazy liberal policies – but how many times do they have to fail before Americans see that California's a disaster, New York's being pummeled by a Socialist Mayor, and dozens of weekend murders in Chicago have gone on for years? The Left's brought us Open Borders, Transgender Insanity, High Crime & Taxes – possibly even acne. Do they love misery? And why don’t we give it up?
It truly is something to behold, the way President Donald Trump plays these Democrats like a cat swats around a mouse. The only difference in that dynamic is that the mouse can’t help itself; it doesn’t know it’s being played. Democrats…well, maybe they are only as smart as a mouse. It’s tough to know. The only things that can be known are just how pathetic Democrats are, and Donald Trump lives rent-free in their head, their dreams and in every breath they take.
So out of nowhere, the public's warned that a scorching planet earth will be inundated by rising seas in a mere decade. Or that millions of transgender youth are our next civil rights frontier. Neither come true – nor ever were true – so how do such crazy bouts of madness so quickly become policy, law, and the status quo? There's usually a multi-step process to these self-destructive fits of insanity being accepted – or jammed down our throats.
Sometimes what people say reveals their true character. Other times, what they threaten reveals the Soul of a Movement. Recent comments by former Obama & Biden official Susan Rice — which are being repeated and amplified by her Democrat allies — reveal not just political rancor, but a startling willingness by The Left to endorse political retribution against American citizens simply for holding different views. And they're not policy disagreements – they're veiled threats.
The recent Democratic polling for Election 2028 has been posted. There’s a field, although not a very compelling one. Some governors in blue states that people can’t flee from fast enough, progressive twits who can’t speak English all that well, and some would-be moderates hoping to recoup the working classes that broke for Trump and the Republicans in 2016 and 2024. And then there’s California Gavin Newsom. Is he the new thing that Democrats are looking for to lead them into 2028?
It was a Trumpian take, followed by an implicit denunciation of opening up trade relations with China. But rather than dwell on that critique, Marco Rubio's speech delivered at the Munich Security Conference segued back to "centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry," all parts of "the common civilization to which we have fallen heir." The audience, as evidenced by its standing ovation, took Rubio's tough but futuristic comments as compliments.
When you hear that Donald Trump and, by extension, we patriots are the most fascist, racist, sexist, corrupt, perverted, and also fascist monsters in the history of ever, you have to wonder something. You don’t wonder why they’re saying it. You know why they’re saying it. They’re liars and dirtbags, and they are losing their grip on power, and they’re desperate. What you have to wonder is “Where do they go from here?”
In a recent story about another tragic school shooting, the AP-Associated Press provided the shooter’s name, their age, and talked about possible issues with mental health. But something felt wrong, so I searched and found a story on “LGBTQ Nation” that provided the full details about the shooter – an 18-year-old trans woman. That fact is critical given that at least three other recent shootings have connections to the transgender movement. If the storied Associated Press promotes itself as being unbiased, why isn’t it?
Decades ago, the Democratic Party had leaders like Presidents Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy who were proud of our country and our citizens. These leaders would have never embarked on a foreign “apology tour” like Former President Barack Obama or allowed our country to be invaded by millions of illegal immigrants like Former President Joe Biden. In the 1980’s, a coalition of moderate congressional Democrats known as the “Blue Dogs” assisted President Ronald Reagan.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez flew to Munich, Germany, this week to participate a Security Conference where she and her fellow Democrats whine about their claim that the President is a "fascist" in the home of fascism, “genocide” in Gaza in the places where real genocidal plans were hatches, and "Climate Change" (in person) when they could have simply done a Zoom call and saved the “carbon footprint” of the flight.
The House is expected to pass the SAVE America Act, after which it will move to the Senate. The challenge will be in the Senate, where at least seven Democrats are needed to join 53 Republicans to reach the 60 needed to pass the filibuster plateau. Should this bill be passed and signed into law? Absolutely. The core premise of this bill is beyond any question or dispute -- that anyone voting in a federal election must be a U.S. citizen and provide documentation to prove it.
Well, with an Election Year upon us and Early Voting starting next week, it will soon be the season for the shifting winds & fleeting alliances to determine who will be Texas House Speaker in 2027. And because the Speaker is elected by the sitting members of the House, that means the Texas GOP’s leadership (read the State Republican Executive Committee,) has already tried to influence the race by bullying some great candidates and incumbents not to run in the party's primary. Beware the so-called "Purity Test."
Remember when Americans spoke in November 2024 and elected President Trump to restore the Rule of Law at our border and carry out the largest deportation effort in our nation’s history? Well, the Democrats have forgotten it. In fact, protests in Minnesota and the approaching Government Shutdown standoff is about whether Immigration Law will be enforced at all – and that's what the Democrats want.
A strange thing happened during a recent U.S. Supreme Court Hearing. Justice Samuel Alito asked: “What does it mean to be male or female — especially when the law provides sex-based protections like separate athletic teams?” The attorney’s response was startling & absurd: “We do not have a definition for the court.” Read that again. And, don't women’s sports exist because biology is real?
