Democrats learned a lesson from Donald Trump’s return to the White House: getting arrested is good politics. It’s for good reasons that Americans recoil when prominent political figures are manhandled, put in handcuffs, or have their mugshot taken live on camera. We all love the idea of politicians in handcuffs or being thrown into jail,...
In December the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a challenge to Tennessee’s ban on Gender Affirming Care for minors. The media consensus at the time was that the liberals were in lockstep but the conservatives seemed unlikely to overrule the state’s ban. Today, the Supreme Court released a 6-3 decision in the case written...
Trump: ‘I Was the Hunted, Now I’m the Hunter’ Read full article at source...
New York Governor Kathy Hochul is easily one of the least appealing elected officials in the country, and that is the least of her problems. She’s a nightmare governor, with barely anything going for her intellectually that I have seen displayed, and an amazing propensity for stepping in it. She looked like a deer in...
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has responded to President Donald Trump’s call for Iran’s surrender with a threat. Earlier this morning, he broadcast a televised address, and his X account posted a series of tweets directly targeting the United States, warning that if Trump becomes directly involved, there will be severe consequences. The US President...
Yes, yes. I know “unhinged” and “socialist” go together like peas and carrots, but it is a headline. Now, on to the story. New York City does elections the new-fangled way, using ranked-choice voting to ensure that the outcomes take forever to tally, the results tend to lean left, and voters are maximally confused. That...
I suppose while I’m on a pathetic, big, blue city mayor kick this afternoon, I might as well update y’all on the goofiest, least competent, most anxiety-ridden, saddest creature ever to occupy the mayor’s office in Chicago – Brandon Johnson, Bear of Little Brain. The teachers’ union tool is having a whale of a year,...
Ezra Klein has an interview with Rep. Sarah McBride, the first trans congressperson, about why Democrats are losing on these issues. I don’t know who wrote the headline for this but it’s currently titled “Sarah McBride on Why the Left Lost on Trans Rights.” That seems a bit too final and definitive for me, or...
Elon Musk has obviously used THC, because we have all seen him smoking pot in a state where it is legal to do so. But the Pravda Media has been hyping the story that Elon has a whole pharmacopia of drugs, legal and illegal, and that he abuses them so much that it presented a...
NBC News is calling it an “emerging coalition” and I guess there’s some truth to that. This is just what Tucker Carlson and MTG have been saying turned into a more direct effort to keep the US out of Iran. A group of lawmakers spanning a broad ideological spectrum is raising alarms about the possibility...
What an interesting couple of days in the Big Wormy Apple as far as this Democratic mayoral primary cycle is going. New York City is known for its mostly colorful, but not necessarily competent, politicians. Honestly, the jokers they have running against each other, vying for the Dem nomination – in effect, to most probably...
I’m not certain that Ilhan Omar is the best messenger for the Democratic Party. She spends most of her time attacking America from within, and now she has escalated her attacks now that Donald Trump is president. Ilhan Omar claims America is worse than her native Somalia, claiming because of Trump we are turning into...
So much for signals. Rather than use diplomatic niceties, Donald Trump opted for the blunt approach today. Just a few hours after warning Iran that time was running out to give up its nuclear weapons program and sites, Trump demanded a complete capitulation: Worth noting: It’s unusual to demand an unconditional surrender from a...
In the past few days there have been reports that CNN is likely facing a difficult road ahead now that it is going to be part of a spin-off company tentatively titled Global Networks. Global Networks is basically all of the struggling cable channels which Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav is handing over to...
One of the secrets to not having a heart attack around Donald Trump at least once a week is to realize that he just throws things ‘out there‘ not so much to see what sticks, but to see what blows up. Much of what is perceived as him stepping on himself – or his ‘message’...
