Congressman Tim Burchett (R-TN) said the Democrats are terrified of Elon Musk and DOGE because there is a “paper trail” of money that went overseas and right back into their pockets. “You’re going to see a paper trail come back to Washington, DC. That’s why a lot of people are nervous. You’ll see a lot of retirements. They are stealing from the American taxpayer and now they’ve got their hand caught in the cookie jar, and all they can do is attack Elon Musk,” Burchett said on Fox News. WATCH:

After bizarre and inadvertently comical candidate forums, the Democratic National Committee elected Kenneth Martin to be its next chairman and gun control advocate David Hogg to be one of its new vice chairs. While the DNC boasted of its racial, sexual, and gender diversity (and its quota system to fill party leadership roles), DNC voters ultimately chose two white men to address the party’s problems. Martin and Hogg emerged victorious in the DNC elections, but not before all the candidates delivered speeches and participated in candidate forums, in which they doubled down on absurd left-wing positions. When asked by a...

American are saying Democrats are espousing priorities that are not representative of voters, according to polling conducted by Ipsos and The New York Times last month. The Times/Ipsos poll conducted after President Donald Trump's election victory was certified in early January revealed Americans' priorities more closely match that of Republican Party election messaging priorities. Those polled found economy, immigration, taxes, crime, and healthcare costs to be priorities for them, the first three also considered priorities by the Republican Party in the respondents' view. Those people sensed Democrats were most concerned about abortion, LGBT policies, climate change, and the state of...

What kind of people are Democrats in terms of human decency? I blogged yesterday about about their execrable behavior to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. at his Senate confirmation hearings for the Health and Human Services portfolio in the new Trump administration. They bellowed. They bloviated. They interrupted, while Kennedy remained the perfect gentleman in a setting no gentleman should ever have to endure. But they only got worse after I signed off on that piece. Here's what kind of creature Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse is as he preens on the Senate floor, piously intoning "You frighten me": Imagine being such an...

The Democratic Party continues to put the well-being of criminal illegal aliens above the safety of the American people. This morning, the House of Representatives passed a commonsense bill called H.R. 30, the Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act, sponsored by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.). The legislation amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to enhance restrictions on illegals who have committed serious felonies, especially those against women, children, or related to sexual offenses. Under the bill, these aliens would not be permitted to enter America and would be deported if they committed a sex offense. These include domestic...

Two Democrat legal experts are calling on Congress to take immediate action to prevent President-elect Donald Trump from taking office, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Evan A. Davis, the former editor in chief of the Columbia Law Review and David M. Schulte, the former editor in chief of the Yale Law Journal, called for Trump’s disqualification in an opinion piece for The Hill, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Davis is a New York City attorney and a former president of the New York City Bar Association. He worked on the U.S. House Judiciary Committee impeachment inquiry...

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., believes the Democratic Party has turned off male voters by being “insulting.” In a new interview with The New York Times, the lawmaker stated that liberals turned off male voters, who supported President-elect Donald Trump in droves. “Telling them that ‘I know better than you do,’ that’s not helpful,” Fetterman said, characterizing what he saw as the party’s approach to courting men. Trump secured a strong majority of the male vote in the 2024 election cycle, making notable strides with Blacks, Latinos and younger male voters in particular.

Tell us something we didn't already know! (Yes, I'm stealing from paying homage to Wizard of Id. Sue me, peasants!)The first effects of a Democrat adjustment to their crushing loss in the presidential election may come in the chamber where they actually managed to hold serve. The New York Times reports that backbenchers may give their entrenched leadership the heave-ho in the next session of Congress to muscle up for the first two years of the Donald Trump restoration. House Judiciary chair Jerrold Nadler is their first target, but not their last:House Democrats are considering pushing aside some of their...

---SNIP---- In this instance, we have direct evidence that Democrats are playing games to rob McCormick. It’s being argued right now. They want ballots with no dates, no signatures, and from people who don’t live in the proper county or even the state to count. It’s the Democratic Party’s blueprint for every contested race. And now, Bucks County Democrats have voted to count those illegal ballots. Democrat Commissioners Diane Marseglia and Bob Harvie voted to defy the state's Supreme Court in this matter, where Marseglia pretty much says she didn't care what the courts say:

Let us look at some early voting numbers (includes mail in and in person early voting) I pulled out eight large or key or interesting states where full data was available. I compared the registered Democrat percentage of early votes in those states comparing 2024 to 2020 presidential election figures. Democrat leaning Independents were not included in these numbers, only registered Democrats.

According to Democrats, this is what a Nazi rally looks like..

Americans should prepare for “unrest’ if former President Donald Trump completes the greatest political comeback in modern American politics, Democrats told the Wall Street Journal on Monday. The potential for Democrats to perpetrate political violence undermines their narrative that Republicans, and especially the America First movement, are a threat to democracy. “I think there’ll be some violence. I think there’ll be workplace fights. There’ll be fights at kids’ birthday parties. I think they’ll be protests and will turn violent,” Mark Halperin recently told Tucker Carlson

NEW: Democrat groups release an ad of a young man m*sturbating in an effort to get people to vote for Kamala Harris. The Democratic Party: The party of abortion and p*rn addicts. Progress Action Fund and Defend the Vote have released a $2.5 million ad campaign with the 30-second ad. The ad was called “Republicans Rubbing You the Wrong Way,” with an actor playing a Republican congressman watching the young man rub one out. The ad campaign is being displayed on streaming services in all seven swing states.

Harris and Walz have made a thing of “turning the page,” but the page that must be turned is the one they are on. In recent years, beginning with Obama, the Democratic party has become unmoored from its basic center-left policies and embraced ideas and policies which are illogical, absurd, and increasingly unpopular. Things like these: - Allowing open borders coupled with a very generous social welfare system to be tapped by all who enter; - Endorsing chemical castration of children and allowing transgender women into the private spaces of actual women; - Engaging in endless wars in which we...

House Democrats’ campaign arm sued the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Thursday to block Republicans from using a campaign finance strategy that Democratic committees employ. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) alleges in its lawsuit that Republican joint fundraising committees are exploiting a campaign finance loophole by running attack ads, which they are prohibited from doing, and simply categorizing them as fundraising ads, which are allowed, Axios reported. A joint fundraising committee formed by the DCCC and Democratic Michigan Senate nominee Elisa Slotkin, however, is running an attack ad against Republican Michigan Senate nominee Mike Rogers that seemingly uses the...

The purpose of constantly invoking the specter of a dictatorship under Trump is to condition Democrats to react violently if Harris loses. By now it’s commonplace to note that Kamala Harris often seems out of her depth, like she’s unsure what to say about policy, or how to explain her past positions, or why she hasn’t already done the things she’s promised to do if she’s elected given that she’s the current vice president. But on one particular subject she’s been consistent and forceful throughout her campaign. She’s adamant that Donald Trump will destroy America if he’s reelected. And not...

Wisconsin Democrats are terrified a radical outsider will catapult Donald Trump into the White House. The swing state party members fear Green Party candidate Jill Stein will steal votes from them and hamper Kamala Harris' chances of election victory. The far-left Stein is often considered a spoiler candidate who swung votes away from Hillary Clinton 2016. She is back on the ballot in 2024 and determined to make a statement.

Trump has made concerted attempts to win over Hispanic and black voters, traditionally Democratic constituencies, though his 2020 results with those groups only slightly improved upon his 2016 tallies. Vice President Kamala Harris is struggling to maintain support among the key voting blocs of the Democratic coalition as polling data suggests that former President Donald Trump’s efforts to win over minority voters are succeeding to some degree. Throughout his political career, Trump has made concerted attempts to flip Hispanic and black voters, traditionally Democratic constituencies, though his 2020 results with those groups only slightly improved upon his 2016 tallies. Now,...

In his first-ever bid for political office, former actor Ronald Reagan was elected governor of California in 1966, defeating two-term incumbent Gov. Pat Brown in a landslide. There was good reason for Democrats to fear that a radical right-winger had taken control of what even then was the nation’s most populous state. The onetime New Deal Democrat had become a very conservative Republican who often echoed the conspiratorial complaints of the John Birch Society. He regularly warned that social welfare legislation such as Medicare and Medicaid (“socialized medicine” to Reagan) and civil rights laws were going to lead to the...

Democrats are reportedly afraid that the Teamster Union’s recent refusal to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for president may be a warning sign of a victory for former President Donald Trump, according to several pro-Harris union officials and Democrat strategists and allies. In the aftermath of the Teamster’s Union, which represents over one million union workers, announcing that it would not be endorsing any candidate, despite polling showing that a large portion of its union members support Trump, Democrats are reportedly taking it as a warning sign, according to Politico.
