One of the reasons I share a lot of posts from X is that it is the best (and sometimes worst) place to gather information about what is really happening in the world. That is the reason why the security state, particularly under Joe Biden, worked so hard to censor it, and why oppressive countries...
Looting the tabs … No group has become more hawkish on immigration & shifted to the GOP than immigrants. Immigrant voters-Trust more on immigration in 2020: Dem +32 pt to Now: GOP +8 pt-Net fav of immigrants here illegally: +23 pt in ’20, -6 pt in ’24-Trump’s vote: 36% in ’16 to 47% in ’24!...
Yesterday, Ruy Teixeira had a story up at the Free Press titled “The LA Riots Are a Trump Ad.” He’s not the only person who has made this point but as usual he does it very well. The chaos in Southern California could have been designed in a lab to exploit Democratic weak spots, combining...
I know hearing from Hillary Clinton isn’t as exciting as actually watching Auntie Maxine fearlessly charge into battle, taunting young National Guardsmen. “And if you shoot me, you’d better shoot straight…”Yet another Democratic lawmaker making a serious situation about herself.Rep. Maxine Waters taunting the National Guard called in to keep rioters from destroying downtown Los...
As I pointed out here, the case that Los Angeles doesn’t need any additional law enforcement help is looking pretty thin after a dozen or more businesses were looted last night. And yet, Gov. Newsom is suing the Trump administration and today California’s AG Rob Bonta asked for an Emergency Restraining Order to stop the...
Democrats must feel cursed. Harry Enten of CNN did a deep dive into how legal immigrants view Democrats, Republicans, and illegal immigrants, and the news is very bad for the Democrats. When asked, legal immigrant voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on the issue of immigration–by a wide margin. More than that, in just...
“Senator Betterman strikes again,” radio host Tony Kinnett quipped. Hey, there are worse nicknames, and this one applies well. John Fetterman had remained silent during the unfolding chaos in Los Angeles, which still represented something of an improvement over his fellow Democrats. We’ll get to those examples shortly, but Fetterman had finally seen enough by...
Publicly, Harvard continues to be the focus of resistance to the Trump administration. Just today Harvard received some additional support from two dozen universities, including several more from the Ivy League, in its lawsuit against the administration. Twenty four universities, including five Ivy League schools, and more than 12,000 alumni took measures to back Harvard...
They are not referring to the hundreds of thousands of migrants–legal and illegal–who have poured out into the streets to protest in support of Hamas. Nope. The UK government has labeled British citizens as supporters of extremist terrorist ideologies if they believe that Western Culture is under threat from the flood of migrants who spend...
“We are not playing around,” Donald Trump warned reporters earlier today. “These are paid insurrectionists, these are paid troublemakers,” Trump continued, describing the attacks on LAPD on Sunday by people throwing large chunks of concrete down on police officers and cars, among other such violence in the LA riots. Still, that was two days ago....
At the beginning of the month, the hard-fought-for Dutch coalition that Geert Wilders had won the right to be part of – and forfeited his right to be prime minister of the country for – had iced out the conservative leader one too many times over his party’s hard-line immigration stance. After all, campaigning on...
It doesn’t offend me a bit that Bob Costas hates Trump. A lot of people do, and as long as they aren’t jerks about it, I accept that they have a right to their opinion. Trump rubs people the wrong way, and not just in politics. He has the style of a showman–I often compare...
Democrats want you to believe they have a righteous cause, that the protests in LA are all about standing up for a good and noble end. They also want you to believe there is no real lawlessness taking place. On the contrary, they claim calling out the Marines and the National Guard are excessive and...
Betty McCallum fooled around with Pete Hegseth. And then she found out why that was a very bad idea — especially while trying to paint the Minneapolis riots as some kind of success for local and state government. Hegseth appeared before a House panel to discuss the defense budget. Instead of asking Hegseth about spending,...
As I keep saying, it’s all about The Narrative™. One of the most famous images to emerge from the 2020 George Floyd riots is the CNN chyron that described the riots as “mostly peaceful.” It was so absurd that it helped break the Pravda Media as much as it defined the moment itself. It was...
