The biggest problem is that both Washington Democrats and the press seem to have no idea who comprises the Democrats' base anymore. “Some base Democrats see Obama as too conservative, and the working-class Democrats see him as too liberal," one Democratic strategist remarked. "The appeal he would have would be with suburban-mom voters, but even that’s a stretch given how they feel about education.” In short, Obama is probably not going to save Democrats in places like Johnstown, which until now have been key to statewide Democratic victories. And Keystone State Democrats certainly aren't helped by Biden nor by Gov....

Last week, Biden made a push for even more COVID funding as part of his administration's new strategy of “living with the virus.” Curiously enough, small government conservatives have been saying that this would have to be the strategy from day one. Looking back, perhaps one of Biden’s worst mistakes was when he promised the following on the campaign trail in late 2020: “I’m never going to raise the white flag and surrender. We’re going to beat this virus. We’re going to get it under control, I promise you.” Controlling the virus and learning to live with it are two...

Fifty-five powerful and influential House Democrats are reportedly financially stiffing the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), failing to pay the dues they owe because of the likelihood that Republicans will retake the chamber. Top Democrats leaders are unhappy and worried because many of their valuable caucus members are not paying their dues to the party committee, according to Punchbowl News. Rules dictate that each member is responsible for dumping a certain amount of cash into the committee’s coffers to be used by the top brass as a part of a national strategy to defeat Republicans. The amount of cash members...

Star Trek has a tradition of booking big name guest stars, going all the way back to the original television series of the 1960s with attorney Melvin Belli. This week, the producers of Star Trek: Discovery unveiled Hollywood’s most tightly-kept secret in casting the biggest name in progressive politics, Georgia Democrat and candidate for governor, Stacey Abrams. Abrams, who narrowly lost her last bid to current Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, plays the president of United Earth in the season finale of the Paramount streaming series.

"McKee, who voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 Presidential Election—said she’d likely vote for him again in 2024 if he runs—although she isn’t completely happy with the job he’s doing."

Can We Take Three More Years of Biden? by John Kass President Joe Biden was babbling dangerously during his recent trip to Poland to shore up the NATO alliance against Russia’s murderous invasion of Ukraine. And as he babbled and babbled, his White House staff poured sawdust on the puddles and tried cleaning it up again and again. The man just would not stop. Biden’s wide-open mouth was a firehose of senile anger, shooting out a torrent of unfocused danger. His words won’t shorten the conflict, but will likely prolong the suffering of the Ukrainian people. His babbling strengthens Russia’s...

In the Washington D.C. suburb of Alexandria, Va., carjackings have made the news lately. Thieves steal cars at Virginia gas stations and race across the Woodrow Wilson Bridge over the Potomac and into Maryland to relative safety. The Department of Justice doesn’t seem to be doing anything about enforcing the federal laws prohibiting transport of stolen goods across the Virginia-Maryland state line. If the carjacker was named James O’Keefe of Project Veritas, things would be very different. The saga of James O’Keefe’s quite possibly completely legal acquisition of Ashley Biden’s diary, and the resulting DOJ secret seizure of his emails...

New documents obtained through an open records request show how far Democrats in Georgia have gone in their attempts to demonize practices that make elections more secure and set themselves up for future victories by pushing their messages to the rising generation of voters. In short, the records uncovered show that an organization founded by Stacey Abrams partnered with Atlanta public schools to uncritically teach students that election security provisions such as requiring ID to vote are discriminatory in nature, while the lax protocols implemented amid the COVID-19 pandemic should become permanent. The lesson plans and curriculum used in the...

A House Democrat has just been left with his chances of re-election in tatters after his wife got revenge by very publically exposing his “sordid” extramarital affair. Dr. Sonya Douglass broke her silence about her husband Rep. Steven Horsford’s (D-NV) affair because she is not happy he is running for re-election. Douglass accused her congressman husband of forcing his family to “endure yet another season of living through the sordid details.” The Nevada Democrat was 36 at the time he started an affair with 21-year-old Senate intern Gabriela Linder. Horsford admitted the relationship to his wife after Linder spilled the...

The Democrat South Florida county of Miami-Dade gave Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) high favorability ratings on Monday, according to a Bendixen and Amandi poll. The Miami-Dade electorate handed DeSantis a seven-point margin of favorability (48-41 percent) in a county where Democrats have about 163,000 more registered voters than Republicans.oe

The Democratic Party is perceived by voters as being both ineffective and out-of-touch, and as a result, stands to suffer substantive seat losses in the midterm elections, new polling by Schoen-Cooperman research indicates. Indeed, the findings of our survey - which was conducted among likely 2022 midterm election voters - show that the electorate is increasingly pessimistic about the direction in which President Biden and Democrats are steering the country, and feel that the party's priorities do not align with their own..... Indeed, inflation - which is at its highest level in 40 years - is the top issue (51...

Defense attorneys filed papers to have Ed Buck’s convictions for providing the drugs that killed two men in his West Hollywood apartment overturned, arguing that the government “kink-shamed” the defendant by pointing the jury toward his sexual fetishes in an effort to obscure the lack of proof supporting the charges, according to documents obtained Friday by City News Service. An attorney for Buck wrote that the two men, Gemmel Moore and Timothy Dean, suffered multiple underlying medical conditions that caused their deaths, not the methamphetamine they ingested. Buck was convicted not on the prosecution’s drug distribution evidence, but on “extremely...

CLAIM: Vulnerable Democrat Rep. Cindy Axne (IA) claimed inflation is not caused by the increase in government spending mainly advanced by Democrats during and after the coronavirus pandemic. Verdict: Mostly False.

A Democratic congressional candidate in South Dakota is withdrawing his candidacy at the request of the South Dakota Democratic Party (SDDP) in light of scrutiny he is facing for past tweets he made about several South Dakota Republicans, including Rep. Dusty Johnson and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem. The South Dakota Democratic Party announced in a release on Thursday that South Dakota House candidate Ryan Ryder (D) is withdrawing his candidacy. **SNIP** The announcement comes as several news outlets reported about tweets that Ryder made through a personal Twitter account previously, which targeted several Republicans in the state.

Rep. Ted Deutch (D-Fla.) announced on Monday that he will not run for reelection in November, becoming the 31st House Democrat to announce they will not run for reelection in the lower chamber this November. Deutch will become the CEO of the American Jewish Committee, and in his statement he highlighted an “unprecedented rise in antisemitism” in the U.S. and around the globe. Deutch, 55, has represented Florida in Congress since 2010, but moved to the 22nd congressional district from the 21st district in 2017 after redistricting. The race before Deutch's announcement was not considered competitive by the Cook Political...

They are not 'Liberal', they are tyrannical. They are not 'Progressive', they are destructive. They are not 'Democrats', they are socialists. They are not for 'peasants', 'workers', 'national liberation', or lately, for the 'environment' or for 'equity'. They are in for power. Power for power's sake. And deceit is their most formidable tool. Evil facades. And most of us fall for their deceit by calling them for what they want to be called. We help them hide their insidiousness. We are complicit when we continue calling them by their chosen labels: 'Liberal', 'Progressive', 'Democrat', 'Environmentalist', 'labor leader', 'non-binary', and on...

American truckers inspired by the Freedom Convoy in Canada have been organizing an action to end in Washington, D.C., to present their case in objection to Joe Biden’s continuation of a state of emergency and continuing of COVID mandates.But Rep.

A Baltimore State Attorney facing a $1million perjury lawsuit for fudging financial numbers while taking out a loan for a pair of holiday home purchases in Florida has tried to get the case thrown out, claiming she's being targeted due to the fact that she's black and progressive. In their most recent filing in the federal case, attorneys for Marilyn Mosby, 42 - who is charged with two counts of perjury and two counts of submitting false statements on loan applications to make the purchases, which amounted to $1.02million - accused federal prosecutors of having a personal vendetta against their...
