House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries stood in front of a progressive conference on Tuesday and said exactly what Democrats think about the tens of millions of Americans who voted for President Trump. He wants to break them. VIDEO AT LINK................. He said Democrats had to beat them at the ballot box, then break their spirit. The remarks came during the 2026 CAP IDEAS Conference, hosted by the Center for American Progress and streamed online via Zoom. Jeffries, who would become Speaker of the House if Democrats retake the majority in November, used his session to frame the midterm election as...

Dems Lie About Trump Assassination Attempts Being Staged To Cover Up Their Own Domestic TerrorismDemocrats don’t want to accept responsibility for the consequences of their rhetoric.Three weeks ago a gunman armed with multiple firearms burst through security lines at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to try and assassinate President Donald Trump and members of his cabinet. But according to 34 percent of Democrats, that assassination attempt was staged.In fact, that assassination attempt was only the latest staged attempt — if you ask some Democrats.A NewsGuard/YouGov poll found 30 percent of Americans “believe that at least one of the three attempts...

Two recent news stories out of Dying Europe caught my attention. One involves the racial indoctrination of toddlers; the other involves punishing elderly citizens for their role in causing “climate change.” Together, they show how leftist-globalism behaves as a parasite from cradle to grave. First, in Wales, the leftist-globalist Labour government is using taxpayer money to train childcare workers how to identify and report “racist incidents.” The initiative teaches adults in charge of nurseries, play groups, and early education centers what constitutes “white privilege” and when young children should be reported to government authorities for exhibiting “racist” behaviors amounting to...

The lieutenant governor of the state is ramping up her Democratic Senate primary campaign as her state battles Trump’s brutal assault.Minneapolis—In 2013, Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan was the 34-year-old director of the state chapter of the Children’s Defense Fund. That year, she and the nonprofit’s partners met to discuss strategies for the upcoming legislative session. One question was whether to prioritize funding for the state’s early-learning scholarships, which usually paid for half-day preschool programs, or for its Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP), which provides financial assistance for families for use in daycare programs. Flanagan, who is now running in...

Why does America have elected officials? If a visiting alien were introduced to the Democratic Party and asked that question, he’d surely say the purpose is to accumulate, consolidate, and hold power. This is the state of that party in 2026. Of course, this is not a new development. The Democratic Party has been moving from a traditional political group (with a long history of proposing poor ideas) to a mob that wants to rule over the country rather than represent voters, defend the Constitution, and uphold the rule of law. There’s no better example of this than the tantrum...

When we speak to people about communism, especially young people, they often insist that although communism has failed everywhere it’s been tried, the U.S. will be successful in adopting it. They clearly have not learned the lessons of human nature and depravity. And they might be surprised to learn that those attributes exist abundantly in this country. We only need to study Cambodia, one of the most extreme applications of communism ever imposed, to get a hint of what might show up here. Young people in this country have a hard time relating to the Killing Fields, because the main...

Why White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter Cole Tomas Allen’s reported link to a group known as “The Wide Awakes” receiving such little scrutiny from the media? The name is associated with an arts-and-music-adjacent activist collective that describes itself as a creative, pro-democracy movement inspired by the original Civil War-era Wide Awakes. That’s what the media wants you to believe. But that cultural collective is not the only relevant use of the term: a mainstream progressive group’s own materials repeatedly reference “Wide Awakes” as a direct-action protest tactic. Including specifically targeting the tactic towards Hilton hotels, where the WHCD took place,...

I’ve been convinced for quite some time that the political polarization of America has passed the point of no return. At this stage there seems to be no political solution to the problem. To be blunt about it: there is no voting our way out of this. Where political matters are concerned, the hard Left — which seems to occupy a larger and larger portion of the Democrat Party — has all but cornered the market on violent, incendiary rhetoric. If you disagree with them, you should be beaten up and imprisoned. If you oppose the Narrative, you need...

A recent poll showed current Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who had worked in Cuba with the Marxist Venceremos Brigade trailing Councilwoman Nithya Raman, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Only 24% of Los Angeles residents approve of the job that Bass is doing, which included the worst wildfires in the city’s history, while 47% disapprove. If disappointed voters replace Bass with an even more extreme version, that will be in line with what happened in New York City where a widely despised former Mayor Bill de Blasio was, after a one term break to make room for...

“Everything that’s wrong is staring us right in the face, and half this country simply will not join us in fighting and fixing it. It’s infuriating and depressing and maddening.” —James Woods on X.The closer this Iran war comes to a favorable resolution, the more garishly negative the puling Lefty-left gets, wishing fervently for the enemy to prevail. Why? Because the Lefty-left is also an enemy of our country. They want the operation to fail so they can reclaim power and resume wrecking and looting the USA.By the way, what exactly would a favorable outcome of this war look like?...

BREAKING - Melissa Halverson, the leftist Michigan woman who made a video celebrating the possible capture and death of a downed US airman at the hands of Iran, has been fired from her position as an administrative assistant at Green Apple Pantry.

St. Paul, MINN. – From Times Square to here in Minnesota's state capital, communist and socialist activists at the nationwide "No Kings" protests escalated their anti-America campaign and openly called for a nationwide economic strike on May 1, an international communist holiday known as May Day, as key Democratic activists joined their call. At the rally here in St. Paul, organizers, speakers and activists distributed communist literature, waved flags from socialist governments and revolutionary movements, and urged demonstrators to transform the day's protests into a nationwide shutdown of work, school and commerce. By early Sunday, Press TV, the propaganda arm...

As we cross the one month mark of the Israeli-American war on Iran, a sufficient corpus of data is emerging to contemplate the kinetic dynamics of the conflict. This is a very strange war. It is not merely the fact that the roster of combatants and associated parties - Netanyahu, President Trump, Lindsay “Holden Bloodfeast” Graham - comprise the most polarizing figures in world politics today. As if to punctuate this fact, I fully anticipate angry comments berating me for using a sanitized and emotionally titrated word like “polarizing.” But we digress. Far more interesting than endless apoplexy over Israel...

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along...

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s approval rating stands at 47 percent two months into the Democrat’s term, with 46 percent of voters disapproving and 7 percent expressing no opinion in a Washington Post-Schar School poll. Spanberger won in a 15-point landslide last year after touting her reputation for bipartisanship built on three terms representing a conservative-leaning district in Congress. But her current ratings reflect sharp polarization among Virginia voters in their views of the state’s first female governor.

Thousands of people took to the streets in cities across the US on March 28. The scenes were loud, organized and unmistakable. Crowds filled major intersections, chanting in unison while holding signs emblazoned with slogans such as “No Kings,” “No Imperialism” and “No War.” This message was repeated across cities with striking consistency; the same script had been carried from one place to another. But the signs told only part of the story. Behind them were organized banners, printed and distributed by well-known activist groups. Names such as the Democratic Socialists of America, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and...

It is estimated that at least one and a half million Americans took part in one of 3,000 events that took place this weekend. With a raspy and rather agitating voice, Bruce Springsteen seems to have resurrected the voice of Bob Dylan from the sixties. It’s hard to understand how you can make a folk song out of the resistance to a president. Up to now, we thought the most standard way was to vote against him. Springsteen has apparently found another way. Following that act, we see Reverend Al Sharpton and actor Robert De Niro walking in together holding...

"The ends must justify the means — the only question is what means are necessary." —Saul Alinsky Why do the news anchor ladies of CNN, Erin Burnett, Kate Bolduan, always look so depressed on the air? They never smile. Their faces always register something between grave concern and hysteria. Is it the network’s cratered ratings? The pending hostile takeover by Paramount / Skydance (led by conservative David Ellison)? Too much botox, zombifying the small facial muscles? Or is it self-loathing from being compelled to slant everything they report on in the direction of a lie? There does seem to be...
