I don't think he can abolish by executive order, as it is authorized by Congress.

A tactic he's using -- I think he did this with USAID -- is to defund/dismantle agencies to the "minimum level allowed by law." I expect that's what he'll do here -- he'll order government lawyers to look into the very minimum amount of funding and functionality of the DoEd required by law, and cut it to that level.

Congress will have to take it from there.

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, fulfilling a major campaign promise. The move shifts education authority back to states and parents, sparking fierce debate from both supporters and critics.

Key Details:

Trump has long criticized the agency, calling it a hub for "radicals, zealots, and Marxists."

White House says the order will "empower parents" and refocus education on student outcomes.

Critics, including teachers' unions, argue that only Congress can legally abolish the department.

The executive order follows the Senate confirmation of Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education, who pledged to oversee the agency's closure.

Congressional approval is required for full dissolution, but Trump aims to reduce its influence immediately.

...

"The federal government has failed American students," Trump said in a statement. "For too long, unelected bureaucrats in Washington have pushed radical agendas while test scores plummet. It's time to return power to parents and local schools."

The White House justified the decision by pointing to declining student performance, citing National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) scores, which reveal falling proficiency in math and reading. Additionally, the administration highlighted the strain placed on public schools by illegal immigration, arguing that resources have been diverted away from American students.

"Over the past four years, Democrats have allowed millions of illegal minors into the country, straining school resources," said Harrison Fields, White House principal deputy press secretary. "Coupled with CRT and DEI indoctrination, this is harming our most vulnerable students."

...

Despite Trump's executive order, Congress holds the ultimate authority to eliminate the agency. The Constitution's Article II requires legislative approval, and with only 53 Republican senators, the White House faces an uphill battle.

Trump is making Reagan look like a Bush.

Speaking of Trump ending things that never should have begun:

President Donald Trump held a "very good" call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday, following a preliminary agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin one day earlier. Trump said the discussions focused on aligning Ukraine and Russia's "requests and needs" and that the ceasefire negotiations remain "on track."

Key Details:

Trump announced the call with Zelenskyy on Truth Social, stating it lasted about an hour and was largely based on the conversation he had with Putin on Tuesday. "Just completed a very good telephone call with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine," he wrote, adding that the talks centered on ensuring both sides' concerns were addressed.

Putin agreed to halt strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure for 30 days, though the ceasefire has yet to extend to frontline combat or civilian areas. Special envoy Steve Witkoff suggested a full ceasefire could be reached in the coming weeks.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz will return to Saudi Arabia on Sunday to continue ceasefire negotiations, with a potential Trump-Putin meeting also on the table. It remains unclear whether a Ukrainian delegation will attend.

"Woman."

Police in Loveland, Colorado have arrested a suspect in connection with several "offensive and hateful" vandalism incidents involving incendiary devices at the local Tesla dealership. The suspect, who goes by the name Lucy Grace Nelson, is a biological male (formerly Justin Thomas Nelson). The alleged "trantifa" activist was arrested just before midnight on Monday after a weeks long investigation and "incorrectly booked" into the Larimer County Jail as a female, according to the Post Millennial's Andy Ngo on X.

All the major media outlets, including the Denver Post, CBS News, ABC News, NBC News, CNN, and Fox News, are referring to Nelson as a woman in their reports.

Police launched the investigation on Jan. 29 after they found incendiary devices on the scene of the first vandalism incident, according to a Loveland Police press release.

Investigators said two more incidents occurred at the dealership on Feb. 2 and Feb. 7. Photos and video taken at the dealership after the Feb 7 incident showed several Cybertrucks and other Teslas with red X's spray painted across the windshields, and graffiti on the building reading "NAZI CAR." There was also reportedly broken glass in the lot and incendiary devices found at the scene.

Investigators said that Nelson, 42, returned to Tesla dealership Monday evening "while in possession of additional incendiary devices along with materials attributed to vandalism" and that detectives were able to apprehend him before more damage occurred.

The attacks came amid left-wing calls to boycott Tesla to protest what agitators reportedly call "Elon Musk's moves to destroy our democracy."

Nelson "has a long history of posts obsessing about fighting fascism and white supremacy," according to Ngo.

A year ago on Reddit, the trantifa agitator was actively calling for violence against the GOP, Reddit Lies posted on X.

This particular grifter office refused to allow DOGE to even enter and sued to keep DOGE out. The judge, miraculously, declined to stop the president's appointed officials from doing their jobs.

This judge is Beryl Howell, the extremely partisan political actor who has granted TRO after TRO against Trump and eagerly sentenced J6ers to long terms in prison.

A federal judge on Wednesday declined to temporarily block the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) takeover of the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP), after the organization said its power was seized without lawful authority.

U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell expressed alarm about the manner in which DOGE accessed the building but said the now-fired board members likely don't have authority to sue in their official capacity, calling some aspects of the lawsuit "a stretch."

Howell declined to bar DOGE from accessing USIP's facilities and systems, acting in USIP's name or declare void the apparent removal of its board.

She also declined to forbid further trespass against the independent institute, after it said in court filings DOGE conducted a "literal trespass and takeover by force."

"I am very offended by how DOGE has operated at the institute and treated American citizens trying to do a job that they were statutorily tasked to do at the institute," Howell said. "But that concern about how this has gone down is not one that can sway me in my consideration of the factors for a [temporary restraining order], which is an emergency relief that is extraordinary."

F*** you.

Now DOGE comes in with a police presence to clear out the trash.

DOGE employees, with the aid of a master key and DC Metropolitan Police Department officers, finally gained control of the massive office building in Foggy Bottom on Monday, ending a standoff by US Institute of Peace bureaucrats barricaded in their offices. On Monday evening, DOGE employees accompanied by MPD officers and high-ranking administration officials stormed the building using a master key provided by the building security service, precipitating a brief scuffle before the building was liberated.

...

DOGE staffers returned Monday and found organized resistance to entry.

Contrary to earlier reporting by The Washington Post and The New York Times, which claimed the institute merely locked its doors, photographic evidence exclusively obtained by the [Daily Caller News Foundation] shows locks had been physically removed from the exterior doors, effectively destroying entry mechanisms. The official said USIP staff removed the locks.

Moreover, staff contacted Washington's Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) in an attempt to prevent DOGE personnel from entering, citing barricaded doors and security concerns. MPD officers later confirmed these obstructions upon arrival, further discrediting claims that USIP had only engaged in passive resistance. Much of USIP's leadership, including Moose, barricaded themselves on the building's fifth floor, closing window shades and blocking access points in a last-ditch effort to resist DOGE's entry, the official told the DCNF.

The obstruction didn't end at damaged doors. Prior to Monday's confrontation, USIP leaders disabled telephone lines, internet connections and other IT infrastructure, forcing communication among staff through walkie-talkies, according to the official. This deliberate effort to disrupt operations delayed DOGE's entry and added to the confusion during Monday's standoff.

Using a master key provided by the security contractor, Trump's team, accompanied by MPD officers, bypassed the damaged and barricaded entryway and "entered the facility through emergency stairs." Confronted with determined leadership and overwhelming force, resistance crumbled, and the insurrectionists exited the building.

@lukerosiak

One of the 7 federal agencies shuttered by DOGE on Friday is the most DOGE-able agency of all time. FMCS (before the pandemic!) had a 9-story K Street tower for 60 employees. Its halls were lined with oil paintings of those employees, and other art purchased from the boss's wife

Luke Rosiak:

One of the seven small federal agencies that President Donald Trump ordered downsized or eliminated on Friday was rife with corruption, with its employees hiring friends and relatives, commissioning paintings of themselves, and using government credit cards to indulge in constant luxuries.

The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) occupied a nine-story office tower on D.C.'s K Street for only 60 employees, many of whom actually worked from home, prior to the pandemic. Its managers had luxury suites with full bathrooms; one manager would often be "in the shower" when she was needed, while another used her bathroom as a cigarette lounge. FMCS recorded its director as being on a years-long business trip to D.C. so he could have all of his meals and living expenses covered by taxpayers, simply for showing up to the office.

FMCS is a 230-employee agency that exists to serve as a voluntary mediator between unions and businesses. As an "independent agency," its director nominally reports to the president, but the agency is so small that in effect, there is no oversight at all -- and it showed, becoming a real-life caricature of all the excesses that the Department of Government Efficiency has alleged take place in government.

This reporter spent a year investigating the agency a decade ago, and I found egregious and self-serving violations of hiring, pay, contracting, and purchase card rules. One thing I could not discover is why the agency actually existed, other than to provide luxurious lifestyles for its employees. Endless junkets to resort destinations, which employees openly used to facilitate personal vacations, were justified as building awareness of the agency in the hopes that someone would actually want to use its voluntary services.

FMCS seemed, quite clearly, to exist for the benefit of those on its payroll, and not much else. One employee told me: "Let me give you the honest truth: A lot of FMCS employees don't do a hell of a lot, including myself. Personally, the reason that I've stayed is that I just don't feel like working that hard, plus the location on K Street is great, plus we all have these oversized offices with windows, plus management doesn't seem to care if we stay out at lunch a long time. Can you blame me?"

"Recreation and reception fund."

Top FMCS official George Cohen used a "recreation and reception fund" to order champagne and $200 coasters for his office, and to purchase artwork painted by his wife. The tiny agency commissioned paintings of its top employees -- as one employee told me, "like they were reigning kings or something...I've never seen anything like it before." It spent $2,402 retouching the portrait of someone who briefly held the top job in an acting capacity.

FMCS employees "unblocked" their government credit cards to turn off typical abuse protections, then used them to apparently fund personal expenses and simply bill anything they'd like to the government. One employee leased a BMW; another (IT director James Donnen) billed the government for his wife's cell phone, cable TV at both his home and his vacation home, and even his subscription to USA Today.

Employee Dan W. Funkhouser used his FMCS card to rent a storage unit near his home in rural Virginia, two hours from the office he supposedly worked at, which was used to store personal possessions such as a photo album of his dog, Buster. Funkhouser also spent $18,000 at a jewelry store near his house, and "destroyed all purchase card records upon leaving the agency," an audit said.

When Charles Burton retired from FMCS, he incorporated an LLC to which another FMCS employee paid $85,000 using his purchase card, listing it as a "Call Center Service," even though the company had neither a website nor a working phone.

When an accountant, Carol Booth, blew the whistle on financial abuses to the General Services Administration, which manages purchase cards and contracting, Cohen forced her to send an email (which he wrote under her name) rescinding her statement.

Like something out of "The Office," the employees spent an inordinate amount of time and money congratulating one another for being employed there and engaging in "work" that really amounted to pampering themselves.

One purchase was for $30,000 on trinkets marking employees' anniversaries. The agency's office was absurdly oversized, but it refused to move. It hired a consultant for a "Hallway Improvement Project" to decorate. It had an in-house gym for employees, and purchased a $1,000 TV for the gym, a $3,867 ice-maker, and a $560 stereo.

The expenses that were actually business-related were hardly better. It paid, for example, $895 "for Suzanne Nichter's enrollment in the English Essentials: A Grammar Refresher course" and $735 "for Lakisha Steward to attend Listening and Memory Skills Development Course."
All expenses paid lifestyle

FMCS used federal jobs as a spigot of cash for friends and relatives. Allison Beck, a former union lawyer who became a top FMCS official, employed her sister-in-law as a "special assistant," and an inspector general found evidence that she tried to create a high-level job for a friend.

FMCS employees allegedly steered contracts to friends, allowing them to write the "statement of work" that would be used to choose the contract winner -- resulting in, of course, their own selection. Such "trainers" were paid $1,500 per day per person to train FMCS's staff, plus $163 an hour for travel. When a low-level employee eventually said the extra travel pay ran afoul of federal rules, a contractor made clear he viewed it as an entitlement, huffing: "Work we have successfully performed for the agency for more than a decade -- at great personal sacrifice, I should add -- will be taken away unless we comply in an unquestioning manner with your edict."

Scot Beckenbaugh, a top agency official, was paid $174,000 a year, but that wasn't enough: He had his "duty station" listed as Iowa so that he could have all of his living expenses and food paid for in D.C., where he lived and worked, as if he was on a six-year-long business trip. When an employee raised the issue to an agency lawyer, the lawyer told him he "should not raise these issues ... it would open a can of worms."

FMCS hired a former mail carrier who lived in Pennsylvania, Lu-Ann Glaser, for a high-level, D.C.-based job, and agreed to pay for her to stay in a hotel for half of every month -- even though it would have been easy to find someone better qualified who didn't need to be put up in a hotel to simply do her job.

Paul Voight, a human resources official, was listed as living in D.C. even though he actually lived in Wisconsin, in order to fraudulently obtain higher cost-of-living pay. Voight's boss was Artur Pearlstein, who left the agency to become a law professor, and was then re-hired after his academic career imploded in a plagiarism scandal. His first move in his new job was terminating an independent investigation into FMCS staff abusing taxpayer funds for personal gain.

Cohen, for his part, steered work to his previous employer, despite signing ethics forms saying he would not.

Many of the agency's top employees lived outside of the typical Washington, D.C., commuting area, and only stopped in the area occasionally, in an era before telework was routine. Its CFO, Fran Leonard, would come to the office twice a week but leave by 2:00 p.m.

The agency had, inexplicably, an office in Honolulu.

It funded constant travel of its employees to exotic locales, on the pretext that it was drumming up business for the federal agency -- an admission that there was little demand for the agency's existence.

In one month, Beck traveled to Italy and Switzerland, where she conducted a business meeting -- over video chat. Then she went to Tunisia and an island off the coast of Georgia. She flew first class and forced the agency to reimburse her for mileage when she drove to her vacation home in Maine.

The agency had three full-time media relations staffers, none of whom would speak to me, almost certainly one of the only reporters to ever call.
Cash grants for insiders

The agency's existence is predicated on the idea that it is an impartial mediator, biased neither towards labor nor management. But its staff largely comes from a union background, and it gave out grants to promote union membership. But it was too incompetent to do much ideological damage; its employees' comfort always came before helping unions.

Anyone could request cash grants from the agency, with the only requirement that they mention some nexus with unions, however tortured. It doled out a seemingly random assortment of giveaways to private businesses, perhaps because they were the only ones who knew the grants existed.

It gave $63,000 to a hospital that went bankrupt; $51,000 to a childcare company to help it pay government licensing fees; and $57,000 to a company to "strengthen of culture of continuous improvement to drive us to world class excellence!"

What surprised me most about my FMCS investigation was what happened afterward: nothing. An inspector general made a referral to the FBI, but there were no prosecutions. Instead, President Barack Obama nominated a chief subject of the investigation to the top job.

A decade later, Trump has done what even the agency's own employees said should happen: shut it down.

To the vast disappointment of the Forever-War^TM supporters, President Trump's efforts to end the pointless border war in Ukraine may be entering a new phase. Both the Z-man and Putin have agreed to end energy infrastructure attacks which, while it might seem incomplete and narrowly focused, is a boon for the people who are suffering. Z-man and Putin certainly aren't!

An incremental ceasefire leading to a total cessation of fighting might not be the quickest way to get to an end to this bloodbath, but President Trump is in his element as a negotiator, so it isn't surprising.

Putin is in a position of strength as he consolidates his military gains in Ukraine. Obviously it has gone very badly for Russia compared to their rosy and optimistic plans for a three day campaign, at which any student of Russian military history will smile and nod and say...Yup! pretty typical!

But Russia is much bigger than Ukraine, has shorter supply lines, and will, in the end, succeed in taking the territory it desires. Perhaps they have already accomplished their goals, and the current fighting is simply to wear down Ukraine to the point at which it must agree to whatever ceasefire is proposed, no matter how much worse than the one it was offered three years ago!

Zelenskyy Also Agrees to Limited Russia-Ukraine Cease-Fire in Call With Trump

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has agreed to a moratorium on attacks on Russia’s energy infrastructure following a March 19 phone call with President Donald Trump.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and national security adviser Mike Waltz issued a statement on the Trump–Zelenskyy call, saying that the two leaders “agreed on a partial ceasefire against energy.”

Zelenskyy confirmed the development in a post on social media platform X, saying, “I supported this step, and Ukraine confirmed that we are ready to implement it.”

Trump’s and Zelenskyy’s phone conversation lasted about an hour and came a day after Trump proposed the moratorium on energy infrastructure attacks to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

It is already fracturing!

Italy's Meloni Backs Trump's Peace Efforts in Ukraine, Urges 'Pragmatism' in Europe on Trade Talks

Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni on Tuesday called for “pragmatism” to prevent an EU-US dispute over tariffs from escalating into a full-scale trade war, and expressed support for U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts for a ceasefire in Ukraine.

Speaking to the Italian Senate ahead of a meeting of EU leaders this week, Meloni made her first wide-ranging comments touching on Trump policies that have shaken Europe in the two months since he took office.

Meloni struck a diplomatic tone on tariffs and expressed favor for Trump’s moves to establish a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine as a possible pathway to end the war in Ukraine. She also ruled out sending Italian troops to Ukraine, and spoke against the proposal for a security force by Britain and France. And she pledged to forge ahead with a controversial and stalled plan to vet migrants outside of the EU borders in Albania.

No, of course not. But Raytheon and Northrop Grumman and Pratt & Whitney, and Lockheed Martin sure are cheering for that! It is a testament to Donald Trump's independence from the military-industrial complex that he is not willing to commit American treasure and blood to a border dispute 4,000 miles away.

This is a war whose antecedents are not simply that Putin is a bad man. Regardless of how you feel about him and Russia, NATO has been pushing closer and closer to Russia's traditional borders, and only a jingoistic Russia-hating, war-loving retard would fail to understand that it was probably not a good idea.

Well, as NATO crumbles, perhaps it is incumbent upon the UK and France and Germany to step in, send troops and cash, and do what they are clamoring for! Yeah, that's not going to happen for a few reasons, the most important of which is that their militaries are a sadly diminished and ineffectual shell of what they once were. They will bluster and pontificate, but ultimately they will agree to Donald Trump's plan for a ceasefire, because they simply don't have a choice.

I guess I sound like a Putin supporter, but I'm really not. I just don't think that it is worth the blood and treasure of the West to intervene in a border dispute between two countries whose borders have been bouncing around for a very long time.

If both countries could lose, I would be happy!

Good morning kids. Well, it is the first day of Spring, at least on the calendar, and as hope always or at least in theory, springs eternal, in that light, I thought I'd lead off today's Report with a headline and story that will surely put a big old smile on your face.

Greenpeace Loses Dakota Access Pipeline Trial, Faces Bankruptcy and Extinction

Energy Transfer named three Greenpeace entities — Greenpeace USA, Greenpeace International (based in the Netherlands), and Greenpeace Fund — as the organizers and funders of this sabotage. And on Wednesday, a North Dakota jury found that the infamous non-profit must pay the price for its actions. The nine-person and two-alternate jury deliberated for two and a half days before arriving at its unanimous verdict. . . For its part, Greenpeace has attempted to frame the lawsuit as a First Amendment issue with a dash of racism thrown into the mix. . . There will doubtlessly be an appeal — Greenpeace's Senior Legal Adviser, Deepa Padmanabha, said, “We know that this fight is not over.” But at any rate, this is a great day for Americans and people everywhere who are sick to death of environmentalists, BLM, and other disruptive, violent, and destructive Marxist mobs upending their lives under the guise of the right to protest. 

You might recall, also "Former Greenpeace Founder Patrick Moore Says Climate Change Based on False Narratives."

And now, a dose of realty in that Evil never rests. And I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, or Molotov Cocktail to toss. Well, sadly, as we all know all is not sunshine and lollipops, so long as Leftists and the Democrat Party still exist, as you instinctively by now are aware and as most of the links will confirm. I assume the High Court in Hawaii, with it's Super-chief justices of Buch M. Danno, Mac A. Damia, Tai Nee Bubbles and Zulu As Kono will invoke the 11th Commandment of Marbury Maliki MAGA and declare this verdict null and void. While the 9 jurors who voted to convict are busy putting the flames out on the backs of their children.

Well, there's this not unrelated item: Along with all the others in the Domestic Affairs section.

A federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama ruled Tuesday evening to block the Trump administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from terminating $20 billion in grants doled out through a Biden-era program.

Federal D.C. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled that the EPA could not currently revoke money that the agency parked in accounts at Citibank in the final days of the Biden administration. The judge wrote that the Trump EPA “gave no legal justification for the termination” of the agreements with the recipients while the administration “vaguely” outlined its initial concerns with the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF). While Chutkan did temporarily block EPA from moving forward with its push to claw back the funds, she noted in her filing that the ruling does not permanently prevent the EPA from recovering the money. . . In a statement responding to Chutkan’s ruling, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said he will do all he can to regain control over the funds in question despite Tuesday’s developments.

Ah yes, Tanya (Russian name!!!!!!) Shitcan, the judge who was persecuting Trump in that trumped up insurrection case, nyet?!

Absolutely disgusting how the Left wraps itself in the Constitution while simultaneously ripping it to shreds and tossing it into a fire. If only the Left would do like their hapless asshole foot soldier at that Tesla dealership and set themselves on fire with their own Molotov Cocktail. That, or as Ace would so poetically say "go fuck themselves in the heart with a steak knife." Satan sez "I like my Filet of Donald Manes well done."



Along with corrupt courts, all the Democrat Left have is thuggery and violence. Meh once you have the former you have a green light for the latter.

When you believe you are the defenders of democracy, then you're a red nether hair's breadth away from the Einsatzgruppen. And this is their mindset. Make no mistake.

Have a great day.

Schumer is now vowing he will never, ever pass a Trump budget or CR again.

That's gonna be a problem down the road -- for the Democrats as well as Trump. The country is sick to death of 24/7/365 #Resistance.

They voted for Trump's agenda. If Democrats continue this, the public may will rebuke them in 2026.

But this is going to be a problem for us for the next year and a half:

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer asserted his party's role is to take down President Donald Trump's numbers as Democrats face a popularity crisis.

Polls published by CNN/SSRS and NBC News on Sunday found that the Democratic Party has hit all-time lows in popularity among voters -- 29% and 27% respectively -- while Trump's approval rating is tied with its highest point across both of his terms at 47%, per NBC News. Schumer, speaking on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," said that weakening Trump's popularity would help Democrats mitigate his ability to accomplish his agenda.

"We are fighting on all of the fronts to go after Trump, not have a circular firing squad, which Democrats tend to do, particularly when there's such an enemy as Trump, so that the basic premise that we are going after him on -- and [House Minority Leader] Hakeem [Jeffries] and I are working on this very closely together ... is that Trump is taking things away from the middle class, from you, to pay for tax cuts for the rich," Schumer said.

Despite Schumer characterizing himself as being in strong alignment with Jeffries, the House minority leader refused to weigh in on whether the Senate needed "new leadership" on Friday after Schumer on Thursday signaled support for passing a GOP-backed government funding bill to avert a partial shutdown.

"And we have so many different areas to go after him on. And we're already bringing his numbers down. We'll keep bringing them down more and more and more. If, you know, six months from now, his numbers are really low, he'll have not only less popularity, he'll have less authority," Schumer continued. "That's our job and we're doing it. And there are going to be some bigger issues where we're going to make a stand as well ... You got to do it in a smart way and not let him drive you into a trap and let your anger at him end up hurting you."

Schumer also made similar remarks during a Saturday New York Times interview when asked about potential primary challenges in New York in 2028.

"I am focused on bringing Trump's numbers down, his popularity down, exposing what he has done to America and what he will do," he said. "That's my focus right now and that's what I'm focusing on 24/7. You know, three years from now is a long way to speculate. I believe that my hard work against Trump will pay off."

Nearly two-thirds of Democrats want their congressional lawmakers to avoid making compromises with Trump, according to the NBC News poll.

Voters have even worse perceptions of congressional Democrats than the party in general, CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said on Monday.

"Holy Toledo, 'voters' views of the Democrats in Congress:' Among all voters, disapprove 68%," Enten said. "And look at the approved number, just 21%, even lower than the Democratic Party at large. This is the lowest on record for Democrats, according to Quinnipiac University polling."

Enten also stated that "the plurality of Democratic voters disapprove of Democrats in Congress at 49%, and just 40% approve." calling the numbers "horrible" for the party.

Schumer makes his fight-fight-fight pledge as the progressive extremist media issues a Code Red on Schumer, according to Ed Morrissey.

Ask not for whom the Journolist tolls, Chuck ... it tolls for thee.

Earlier, I wondered whether a revolt among House Democrats would impact Chuck Schumer's standing in party leadership. Perhaps we should pay more attention to Democrat house media. The backlash to Schumer's fold-o-rama on the continuing resolution has become a new talking point among the Left's favorite media outlets, from MSNBC on down.

The Daily Beast, for instance, took a break from smearing Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) to breathlessly report that the Democrats' "party civil war spirals." They covered the first demand from a House Democrat for Schumer to resign from leadership...

Politico follows up today to note how "Schumer bashing has gone mainstream." They also pick up on Ivey's demand, but reports that it's now open season on Schumer within the Democrat Party...

LOL, Politico thinks that until AOC got mad at him, bashing Schumer was not "mainstream," but fringe.

The Daily Beast took note of Schumer's treatment too, in an article titled "MSNBC Forces Chuck Schumer to Sit Through Brutal Supercut of His Critics." HuffPo featured Nancy Pelosi's attack on Schumer, reporting the "shade" she tossed his way as Politico also reported; The New Republic did as well earlier today. Salon reported on J.B. Pritzker's "liberal anger" over Schumer's fade.

It certainly looks like the Journolist Bat Signal has gone out.

Pelosi has knocked Schumer for a second time.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continued to criticize Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer Tuesday, suggesting he voluntarily relinquished Democrats' leverage in the government funding fight.

"I myself don't give away anything for nothing," Pelosi told reporters during a San Francisco town hall on Republican lawmakers' alleged cuts to Medicaid -- despite no existing proposal from GOP lawmakers to cut the entitlement program. "I think that's what happened the other day."

...

Some congressional Democrats have privately urged New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to launch a primary challenge against Schumer in 2028. Ocasio-Cortez has declined to rule out a Senate bid and has called on Schumer to retire at the end of his current term.

"Schumer has been in politics for a long time, and I would hope that this is his final term, and he opens it up for someone new," Ocasio-Cortez said.

Leftwing Narrative-Enforcement Organization Axios says that Schumer's standing with Democrats is lower than ebola.

Why it matters: Some House members are urging Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) behind closed doors to mount a primary bid against the New York senator in 2028.

"From the threads I am on, [people are] pissed off ... and not just the typical lefties," one House Democrat told Axios on the condition of anonymity to share details of members' private communications.

A senior House Democrat said of their colleagues' mood toward Schumer: "His popularity is hovering somewhere between Elon Musk and the Ebola virus."

A third House Democrat who represents a swing district, when asked about Schumer, responded sarcastically: "Who?"

...

The first House Democrat told Axios that people are "mainly venting" but also "talking a big game about supporting AOC" in a possible primary challenge.

A fourth House Democrat who spoke on the condition of anonymity described their colleagues' feelings toward Schumer as "big mad."

Zoom in: Schumer is under siege from Democrats' liberal grassroots, postponing stops on his book tour that groups like the Progressive Change Campaign Committee had planned to protest.

Indivisible, another liberal group, has publicly called on Schumer to step down as Senate Democratic leader.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said in a CNN interview that Senate Democrats should "sit down and take a look and decide whether or not Chuck Schumer is the one to lead in this moment."

Stupid busted-poon DEI skank Sonny Hostin cucked Schumer to his ugly mug.

The surprising thing isn't that a male liberal influencer is a pervert and user.

What's shocking here is that Harry Nisson is... straight? Sort of?!

Sarah Fields
@SarahisCensored

Harry Sisson convinced 11 different women that 'he had no roster' and 'respected them for more than their bodies' while persuading them to send explicit photos of themselves through Snapchat, including one from a domestic abuse survivor.

When the women discovered each other one by one, he called them all insane and attempted to coerce one of them into telling the public that the photos were 'fake.'

A Request to the Reader - Set political differences to the side. I believe both sides of the aisle can agree that this is unacceptable behavior from a man-child with collectively over 2 million followers.

I don't know if asking women for nudes is much of a violation in today's effed-up world.

But keep in mind, this is a Male Feminist who really cares about women.

Vodka Pundit posts this from the allegedly-predatory twink:

America failed women tonight. Trump bullied, assaulted, and stripped reproductive rights away from women all across the country and instead of standing against it, many voted for it. We have failed our daughters, mothers, and sisters.

I'm your ally. Please send your tits.

The antifa left needs to be dealt with, like Hamas -- once and for all.

A website called "Dogequest" has reportedly published the personal details of Tesla owners nationwide, exposing names, addresses, and phone numbers on an interactive map. The site, which appears to be targeting Tesla drivers due to CEO Elon Musk's ties with the Trump administration, also features a Molotov cocktail as a cursor. The operators claim they will only remove personal information if the individual provides proof they have sold their Tesla.

Key Details:

The website "Dogequest" reportedly doxes Tesla owners and employees of Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), listing personal information and Tesla dealership locations.

The site encourages vandalism of Tesla vehicles, stating it supports "creative expressions of protest."

Recent incidents include vandalism at Tesla dealerships, gunfire attacks in Oregon, and harassment of Cybertruck owners.

Diving Deeper:

The emergence of "Dogequest" comes amid rising hostility toward Tesla owners and dealerships, a trend that has escalated following Elon Musk's high-profile role in the Trump administration. According to a report, the website exposes the names, addresses, and phone numbers of Tesla drivers across the United States while using a Molotov cocktail cursor--a clear symbol of violent intent.

Beyond targeting individual Tesla owners, the site also reveals locations of Tesla dealerships and supercharger stations. One section of the website appears to endorse vandalism, stating that those looking to attack a Tesla "don't need a map" to do so. This rhetoric coincides with increasing reports of Tesla-related attacks, including a woman arrested for throwing an incendiary device at a dealership in Loveland, Colorado, and multiple Tesla locations in Oregon being targeted by gunfire.

...

Legal experts suggest that while doxing itself does not violate a specific federal law, it can lead to criminal charges under harassment, stalking, or invasion of privacy statutes. The Justice Department has not issued a formal statement on the matter, but given the escalating violence against Tesla owners and dealerships, federal authorities may be forced to take action.

Meanwhile, Tesla's stock continues to struggle, dipping another 6% in early trading on Tuesday. Shares have now fallen more than 50% from their post-election high, raising concerns about the company's stability amid this wave of anti-Tesla sentiment.

David Strom proposes that the left has essentially adopted a "modified Al Qaeda" (or Jihadist "Resistance") strategy against Musk -- and America.

Osama and al Qaeda believed that they had History and God on their side, and if they struck the US hard and provoked a war on their own soil, where they had advantages, instead of here in the US, they could prevail. The terrorism was a lure, not the point in itself.

I believe that, consciously or unconsciously, the anarcho-left is pursuing a similar strategy to incite a civil war that will bring down the current US regime. If this sounds insane, recall that less than two years ago it became quite popular on TikTok among liberals to reassess Osama's critique of America and the West and to endorse his tactics to destroy it.

He notes that leftwingers began reading Osama bin Ladin's "Letter to America" -- Osama's threat to America to comply or suffer terrorism -- on TikTok last November. They were openly embracing Al Qaeda tactics.

We have already seen a huge spike in terrorism from trans activists. Many of the attacks on Teslas and Tesla showrooms were done by trans "women," and a number of mass shootings have been as well. "Kill TERFs" has become a common slogan as well.

Relatively normal AWFLs are fantasizing about violent resistance, and while they won't do it themselves, they have already cheered it on, up to an including endorsing Luigi Mangione's cause and helping fund his very expensive defense.

As far as I can tell, there is no backlash among Democrats to the increasing violence, which instead has inspired a bunch of "I don't endorse violence, but..." tut-tutting. That is, in fact, a tacit endorsement of violence, and we know that the Democrat-controlled ActBlue is raising money for the extremist wing of the Party that commits these terroristic acts.

Cancelling the funding for PRIDE MONTH?!!?

Three months before PRIDE MONTH?!!?

A host of longtime sponsors have begun backing out of their involvement in San Francisco's 2025 gay "Pride" celebrations, SFGATE reported.

LOL, GFY.

San Francisco Pride, a nonprofit that host's the city's annual pride event, has recently been scrambling for other methods to raise $300,000 for this year's festivities, according to SFGATE. Notably, the news comes amid President Donald Trump's ongoing efforts to crack down on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts nationwide.

The government was essentially funding all of this through DEI grants, which passed through "Non"-governmental organizations and paid-off corporations. Now that that money is drying up, the left doesn't have a trillion in funds embezzled from the taxpayer to play with.

San Francisco Pride's executive director, Suzanne Ford, told the outlet that she was "really disappointed" by the sponsors' decisions. Sponsors pulling out of the pride event include Comcast, Anheuser-Busch, the company behind Budweiser and Beck's beer; wine company La Crema, and Diageo, a beverage company known for producing Guinness, Ford told KTVU-TV in an interview published March 15.

The sponsors all cited a shortage of funds when informing San Francisco Pride that they were backing out of partaking in the 2025 pride events, and none of them mentioned the current political climate in the U.S., according to SFGATE. Still, Ford added that it was "very abnormal" for several longtime sponsors to suddenly drop their support for the event.

A few sponsors pull their support every year, she said, but they typically do so after a series of conversations with the nonprofit, the outlet reported.

"I just interpreted that companies are making decisions that at this time it's not good to be sponsoring Pride," Ford told SFGATE. "I think in this political environment that they thought that was a risky decision. But that's just me reading the tea leaves. I think for a long-term sponsor not to sponsor us, they are responding to what we are."

...

"La Crema remains fully committed to the LGBTQ+ community," A spokesperson for La Crema said in a statement shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. "While we had to scale back our SF Pride activation this year, it was never our intention to step away entirely and we are still in ongoing conversations with event organizers on how we plan to participate. We will continue to support Pride, both nationally and in our backyard, and continue our long-standing advocacy partnership with Equality California."

San Francisco Pride, Comcast, Anheuser-Busch and Diageo did not respond to requests for comment from the DCNF.

#PunchAnAntifa.

A person armed with a gun and Molotov cocktails launched a "targeted attack" against a Tesla location in Las Vegas early Tuesday, spray-painting "resist," firing several shots and torching multiple cars, authorities said.

Gunshots and flames erupted at the Tesla Collision Center, at 6260 Badura Ave., at 2:45 a.m. in the latest violent incident involving property associated with Elon Musk, the billionaire Tesla CEO and adviser to President Donald Trump.

"This was a targeted attack against a Tesla facility, " Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told reporters. "We do believe that it is isolated at this time. We do not believe there is further threat to the general public."

The person wore all black and "used what appeared to be a Molotov cocktails and a firearm to conduct his attack," Koren said."At least five Tesla vehicles were damaged, to include two of which were engulfed in flames," Koren continued.

The attacker "fired three rounds into different Tesla vehicles," and at least one un-ignited Molotov cocktail was recovered from the scene, he said.

The word "RESIST" in all-capital letters was stray-pained in red on the center's doors.

Musk has been the point man for the Trump administration's attempts to drastically reduce federal programs with his Department of Government Efficiency.

Those efforts have coincided with a wave of vandalism nationally that appear to be targeting Tesla vehicles and facilities.

"This level of violence is insane and deeply wrong," Musk said in a statement on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, which he bought in 2022. "Tesla just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks."

In a statement Tuesday night, Attorney General Pam Bondi called attacks on Tesla property "nothing short of domestic terrorism," saying the Justice Department has charged several people "with that in mind," including in cases that carry five-year minimum sentences.

"We will continue investigations that impose severe consequences on those involved in these attacks, including those operating behind the scenes to coordinate and fund these crimes," she said.

More police will be assigned to Tesla locations around Las Vegas, Koren said.

Special Agent Spencer Evans, chief of the FBI's Las Vegas office, said, "Violent acts like this are unacceptable."

"To those who might think that something like this is justifiable or potentially even admirable, we want to let you know it's a federal crime. We will come after you. We will find you," Evans said.

About 22 hours before the Las Vegas incident and 300 miles away near San Diego, sheriff's deputies drove by a Tesla dealership when "multiple cars were found with swastikas spray-painted on them," officials said.

"In addition, several windows of the dealership building had also been spray-painted with swastikas and profanity," the San Diego County Sheriff's Office said.

And in another overnight incident of suspected arson, police say, two Cybertrucks were damaged by fire at a Tesla dealership in Kansas City, Missouri.

The FBI said it's working with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Kansas City police to investigate the incident.

"Similar incidents have occurred in several states and the FBI and ATF are coordinating with federal, state, and local law enforcement partners to gather information," the FBI's Kansas City office said in a statement Tuesday.

Some Tesla owners are posting the pictures of brokedown lefty criminals who key their cars.

Emotionally untethered leftists vandalizing Teslas across America are beginning to discover that cops in some places are taking this act of political vandalism seriously. Just ask the bushy-bearded, white-haired man wearing pro-America gear in San Jose or the dad-bod bearded man who may be on the FBI radar for his antics at an airport in Texas.

Tesla owners are striking back, providing social media sites -- and cops -- with inescapable proof of these emotional incontinents vandalizing the cars. Teslas have built-in cameras around the entire vehicle to capture images.

...

Tesla owners in Silicon Valley brought the receipts to San Jose, Calif., police about a man recorded while vandalizing a Tesla Cybertruck at a Costco parking lot. He took his key and slid it down the side of the vehicle.

San Jose Police Chief Paul Joseph says his department found out about the political vandalism when it was highlighted on social media. After the vandalism went viral, they "identified, located, and arrested the individual responsible for this act of felony vandalism."

...

Jeff Nguyen's Tesla was vandalized at Dallas Fort Worth Airport on Friday, March 13. He brought receipts and begged the internet to ID the guy.

That report was highlighted by the Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley group on X.

Trump Administration official, Rick Grennell, lateraled it over to FBI Director Kash Patel.

He also urged X sleuths to help solve the crime.

So far this DFW case is an unsolved mystery, but probably not for long.

Another promise kept.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard praised President Donald Trump after files relating to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy were released, noting that he is "ushering in a new era of maximum transparency."

"President Trump is ushering in a new era of maximum transparency," Gabbard wrote in a post on X. "Today, per his direction, previously redacted JFK Assassination Files are being released to the public with no redactions. Promises made, promises kept."

The files can be accessed directly by the public at the National Archives website here. The page for the JFK Assassination Records on the National Archives website states:

In accordance with President Donald Trump's directive of March 17, 2025, all records previously withheld for classification that are part of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection are released.

The National Archives has partnered with agencies across the federal government to comply with the President's directive in support of Executive Order 14176.

As or March 18, 2025, the records are available to access either online at this page or in person, via hard copy or on analog media formats, at the National Archives at College Park, Maryland. As the records continue to be digitized, they will be posted to this page.

The release of the files comes a day after Trump announced that roughly 80,000 files would be released on Tuesday by Gabbard, adding that "people have been waiting for decades for this."

Whig read some of the files last night:

2 I read about 250 or so documents last night. A lot of it involves tradecraft of creating legends for specific agents, shell companies, etc. But at least two interesting things stuck out. One was that Oswald was under continuing surveillance prior to the assassination and two, he met with a guy called Kostikov who was a KGB agent in Mexico City. Kostikov had prior involvement in the KGB executive action aka killing section.

Another two dealt with Howard Hunt and his relationship with the CIA. The first appeared a mundane query over $30k worth of funds sought for reimbursement. The second was over his book clearance. Why the first is interesting is that it seems to imply Hunt was getting funds from the CIA in 1972 in some form. That is when the Watergate burglary happened btw and it was sometimes speculated that it was the CIA that torpedoed Nixon on purpose via Hunt.

Hunt filled the action team with former CIA anti Communist Cuban assets that you can cross check with the multitude of docs released regarding anti Castro Cuban operations and naming specific names.

There is also references to the close relationship between Mossad and CIA at the time.

I don't know what's in the files. This historian below talks about some stuff he's seen in the files. He mentions things I'm pretty sure we already knew, like the discovery of a pristine bullet in the presidential limo which suggests that four shots were fired, not three as the Warren Commission claims, which means that there would have to be a second gunman. He says Oswald didn't have time to shoot four times, because, he says, the pristine bullet would be the one that hit Kennedy in the back, and the next bullet, coming a fraction of a second later, hit Governor Connelly. Too quick a follow-up shot for a bolt-action rifle. The Warren Commission says the same bullet caused a bunch of injuries to both men -- "pausing in mid-air, mind you."

He also says that the files disclose that forensics scientists disputed the Warren Commission theory of the second shooter. Again, I'm pretty sure we knew this, but now we can read the actual documents.

Big news over the weekend on the propaganda front. VOA, Radio Free Asia, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and various smaller official US state media are no more. Oh, they still exist on paper and the enabling legislation is still there, but Trump ordered the outlets cut to the bone, to do no more than the legally-mandatory minimum. And laid most of them off on Saturday morning, including suspending numerous contracts.

The official US propaganda outlet for foreign lands - sort of - has been suspended and will, like USAID, probably never recover. Barring some change in the law, the next guy can resurrect it if he wants to, but there is probably no point. It was a death strike and it will probably have worked. The order goes far beyond just the United States Agency for Global Media (the office behind VOA and various others).

Good morning kids. I'm sure many of you can cite the exact passage, as you'll forgive me for not being up on the New Testament. But, here goes: "Thank God for my enemies." There are a couple of prime examples this morning that indicate the Democrats have completely ignored the first rule of holes.

Firstly I apologize for inflicting Chuck Schumer on you two days in a row, but this one's a pip, as Archie Bunker might say.

The last thing Schumer wants to do in the coming days and weeks is say something incredibly stupid, condescending, or out-of-touch — anything that would give Republicans, or his colleagues for that matter, political ammunition. He also doesn’t want to say something so stupid, condescending, or out-of-touch that could not only anger conservatives or moderates but, if taken out of context, also Democrats.

And did just that. Though he was seemingly discussing the supposed cabal of oligarchs who control the Republican Party, Schumer still handed the GOP an ad for the century as he mocked people for having the very relatable feeling of hating taxes and the government telling them what to do. . .

. . . “They hate government,” he went on to say before a commercial break. “Government’s a barrier to people — a barrier to stop them from doing things. They want to destroy it. We are not letting them do it and we’re united.” At this point, Schumer should give up and roll over to left-wing Democrats the same way he went belly up for Trump and Republicans. A changing of the guard is likely underway in the Democrat Party, and Wall Street Chuck’s cosplay as a salt-of-the-earth, defender of the People won’t stop what’s coming in 2028 — or even 2026.

Well, let's not all begin administering a venturi effect on our nether regions just yet, but given the fact that tax season is upon us and on top of the trillions of dollars in waste that DOGE has uncovered and the Trump agenda's skyrocketing popularity, Yes please Chuck and Democrats let's have more soundbites just like this!

Plus, let's have more of you Lefties defending terrorists and illegal alien criminals remaining here on our territory. As well as more Tesla dealerships going up in flames, plus the physical assault and "Swatting" of political enemies like Juanita Broddrick now, as the expression of your love of humanity, peace, democracy and law and order, right?

Of course there's always this brand of Democrat peace love and understanding:

Following their rejection at the ballot box in November, trans activists have decided against the idea of moderating their insanity. Instead, they have elected to double down on the most extreme and demented aspects of their ideology. They have devolved to a degree that, if you weren’t paying attention, you might have thought was impossible. We are now at the point where trans activists are embracing cruelty that isn’t even cloaked with the usual lies about “scientific consensus” or anything like that. These people are now endorsing child abuse, without reservation, right out in the open. That’s always what they’ve stood for. Now they’re not even attempting to hide it. In order to understand the depths of depravity, you need to watch the scene that unfolded at a school board meeting on Thursday in Deerfield, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. A woman named Nicole Georgas began by telling the school board that her daughter is a 13-year-old student at a local middle school. And recently, her 13-year-old was forced to share a bathroom with a male student. Watch: Before we play the rest of Nicole Georgas’ statement, it’s worth pointing out that, strangely enough, no one on the Left is calling this situation a “constitutional crisis.” She’s pointing out, correctly, that the state of Illinois is defying Trump’s executive order on gender ideology. And in the process, they’re disregarding the civil rights of children at a systemic level. If you listened to the Left’s complaints about how outrageous it was that the Trump administration ignored a judge’s order when he deported Venezuelan terrorists the other day, you might think that they’d be equally upset about what the state of Illinois is doing in this case. But of course there’s no outrage, because these people are more than happy to ignore orders when they feel like it. And the state of Illinois should lose federal funding immediately as a result. . . To restate: This woman is saying that school officials forced her 13-year-old daughter — and several other young girls — to change in front of a male student in a locker room at a middle school. Those school officials, she said, include the district’s assistant superintendent for student services, the school’s assistant principal, and the director for student services. . . But because there are no good-faith trans activists, you can probably guess how this mother’s statement was received. As soon as she was finished, “boos” rang out in the room. One person asked her why she was “obsessed” with the genitals of children, which is one of those stock arguments these activists use all the time, even though it makes no sense whatsoever. They could be exposing themselves to you and your children in the park, and then when you object to it, they’ll accuse you of being “obsessed.” Then, a few other activists spoke at the school board meeting, and they continued to take cheap shots at the mother. . .

. . . This is a basic moral principle — one of many basic moral principles that trans activists have abandoned. If this school board meeting demonstrates anything, it’s that these people are never going to become more moderate or sensible, no matter how badly they lose national elections. As I’ve pointed out before, most of the adult trans activists who continue in the fight are either trans themselves or have trans kids — or in some cases, both (as we saw at this school board meeting). They will never let it go, because to let it go would be to admit that they’ve maimed and mutilated themselves or their children. That is a level of self-reflection and acceptance that trans activists, as the ultimate narcissists, are simply incapable of achieving.

Yes, thank God for our enemies, now pray that our alleged friends and allies in and out of government have the moral clarity and the stones to face them down and do what needs to be done to defeat them.

It's reassuring that Trump seems to be telling the judiciary to piss up a rope while at least one congressman is pursuing the impeachment of this hack-in-black Boasberg.

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) has filed Articles of Impeachment against Judge James E. Boasberg, appointed by former President Barack Obama, after he issued a temporary restraining order blocking President Donald Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal alien gang members. . .

. . . The left-wing American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Soros-linked Democracy Forward sued the Trump administration on behalf of five illegal aliens accused of being gang members to stop the deportations — though planes of nearly 300 gang members had already taken off for El Salvador.

Boasberg issued a temporary restraining order blocking Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal alien gang members. Trump officials said they got the order from Boasberg when the gang members had already landed in El Salvador.

Gill, in a statement on X, claimed Boasberg’s order is “illegal and unconstitutional” and announced Articles of Impeachment against the federal judge whose family has deep ties to Democrats.

Again, it raises the question of the efficacy of relying on corrupt institutions and sadly too many corrupt politicians and others to do the just and moral thing, as opposed to just doing what our enemies do and invoke the precept of "by any means necessary."

And if there is a God of justice and mercy, Schumer and Bernie Sanders would have been reduced to a pile of smoldering ashes in Old Sparky long long ago. But I digress.

Along a similar line, While Schumer and company prove to the American people that their instincts are correct about what their money is funding, California puts a big fat exclamation point on all of the aforementioned:

Okay, wait, I thought they worshiped Dylan Mulvaney. But if the Democrats are anything, they’re full of surprises, as we saw at the California state assembly on Friday. A Democrat assembly member offered a prayer to open the assembly session, as is the time-honored custom, but the prayer wasn’t to any deity that you’d learn about in the average world religions course, even in these latter days of American colleges and universities being reduced to little more than Antifa recruitment centers. The prayer was offered to none other than Beyoncé. . . The Democrat Party has become the party of angry blue-haired people with multiple piercings and a penchant for violence in support of any cause that involves hating America and wanting to destroy it. And now, instead of tacking back to the center and reassuring ordinary Americans that the party hasn’t gone totally insane and is doubling down on supporting everything that is making their lives more difficult (high taxes, rising crime, open borders, the whole nine yards), the Democrats are thinking up new ways to alienate even more Americans. . . Meanwhile, what’s next in the California state assembly? Prayers to Rachel Levine? Or maybe just straight-down prayers to Lucifer? Nothing would surprise us anymore.

Have a great day.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
