    The mask continues to slip in Pennsylvania, where Democrat officials have openly mocked, justified, and even celebrated the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk—a reaction that reveals just how deeply entrenched political hatred has become on the American left. Bernville Mayor Shawn Raup-Konsavage ignited national outrage after declaring he was “glad” Kirk is dead, posting the comment publicly alongside a video of the late conservative leader. “This is what MAGA represents,” he wrote, attacking those mourning Kirk’s death and doubling down by saying, “If this represents you, then I don’t want to hear that you are offended that...

    Kamala Harris settled on picking Tim Walz to be her running mate last year because she felt Americans were too racist, antisemitic and homophobic to accept her preferred option – Pete Buttigieg. In an excerpt from the former vice president’s forthcoming book, “107 Days,” obtained by The Atlantic magazine, Harris describes Buttigieg as her “first choice” but later deemed the openly gay former transportation secretary to be “too big of a risk” on the ticket. Buttigieg “would have been an ideal partner —if I were a straight white man,” Harris wrote. “But we were already asking a lot of America:...

    Last night, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner spoke at a town hall meeting at a church in Kingsessing, one of several appearances he’s scheduled to make this week. The topic, in part, is the Trump administration’s repeated threats to send National Guard troops to major American cities. ---SNIP--- Scales went on to argue that “lawless Larry, crumb bum Krasner” was only speaking about the National Guard situation in order to “distract the people of this city from his failures.”

He has called on his party to stop calling President Trump "Hitler" and an "autocrat." On Wednesday, before it was confirmed that Charlie had died from the shot, Fetterman noted to CNN's Manu Raju that just a day before the assassination, people were protesting President Trump and calling him the "Hitler of our time." Senator Fetterman condemned the characterization and said that the Democrats must "turn the temperature down." "I...

    Democratic Sen. John Fetterman has a warning for his party: learn from the politically charged whirlwind that put Donald Trump back in the White House and secured Republicans control of both chambers of Congress or risk staying in the minority. “They have forgotten one of the reasons why we lost in 2024,” Fetterman said of his fellow Democrats in a wide-ranging interview with CNN’s Manu Raju on “Inside Politics Sunday.” The Pennsylvania Democrat, who was first elected by just a five-point margin in 2022, said some of the party’s more left-wing views were “weaponized” against Democrats last fall. “Some people...

He said everyone on both sides of the aisle must stop the rhetoric to prevent any further acts of violence. Shapiro expressed his condolences while pleading for the violence to stop. The Democratic governor criticized President Trump...

    Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) criticized Democrats who have been warming up to and embracing socialism while dismissing capitalism, describing them as “morons.” When asked about a Gallup poll that found that 42 percent of Democrats have a favorable view of capitalism, while 66 percent of Democrats “view socialism favorably,” Fetterman shared how when he was in Croatia, he told people that “some people” in the Democrat Party “are talking about socialism,” and asked people about their thoughts. Fetterman continued to explain how one guy expressed that socialism is “the worst thing ever” and warned that people would “never want to...

    Two Republican losses in state senate special elections this year, first in Pennsylvania during March and then in Iowa this August, have sent tremors through conservative circles. Both seats were previously held by Republicans, both were in areas that strongly supported Donald Trump, and both slipped away despite the Democrat party enduring its worst period of public standing in decades.These results are not signals of a collapsing Republican coalition, but they are warnings against complacency.Between 2020 and 2024, Democrats faced a voter registration crisis that left their party infrastructure gutted in states across the country. In every state that tracks...
