The Gutless Old Party

When I’m sometimes foolish enough to state a political view while out in public -- you can’t be held in jail without bail for talking about January 6, can you? -- the person I’m speaking with typically responds, “Oh, so you must be a Republican!” And I laugh heartily, and shake my head no. The Democrats may very well want to off unborn babies; encourage adolescents to lop off their breasts or penises; counsel African-Americans to expect financial reparations from Whitey as penitence for past offenses; allow any Tom, Dick or Juan to waltz into this country unvetted

Sad, but true. I find it easier to say what the Democrats stand for. What do the Republicans stand for? The first thing the Republicans have to do is so themselves to be an alternative to Democratic policies. Still waiting for that. The Republicans finally get a real alternative in the form of Donald Trump and look at what the Republicans did to him. We do not really have a two-party form of government. Not sure we really have a government considering the limitations they put on themselves with regard to whom they represent. (Hint: The people they represent are very very rich)

THIS is why there's no hope anymore. We don't have a two party system. It's the "democrats" and the "complicits". One big bucket of nothing. This is why we have been slipping and sliding into the cesspit over the last 90 years, since the creation of the administrative state. No matter how hard we scratch and clutch, it just gets inevitably worse on a daily basis. It explains why no matter who I vote for, things just get worse. The Constitution is just so much pretty toilet paper now. We the peons are on our way to being we the serfs. Y'all DO understand that the ballot box ain't gonna save us, right? We've been trying that for the last 50 years, with abject failure to show for it. If Trump wins, he will be at the helm as we sink, and if that's all I can get, I'll take it.

Nicely written, full of facts and would-be humor, if it weren’t all true. Oh, for a few more DJT type patriots in our congress. Fear of incarceration is a big disincentive. Hopefully they exist at the ballot box.

Pete, that's why it's called the Uniparty. FTA: "GOP politicians, on the other hand, harrumph loudly, demand investigations..." Before there was Jim Jordan, we had Trey Gowdy. Yapping poodles.

A copy of this should be put in every Republican's Congressional Mailbox! It is so true that it hurts. I'm 83 and have seen a lot in my time, but nothing comes close to the damage the Democrats have done to this country in just a few years. Our only hope is for Trump to slash and burn when he gets back to the White House. He won't have to care what anyone thinks since he won't be running again. Only then would anyone have a chance of cleaning up the mess Biden has made. I think Trump is exactly the guy who can shove it down Biden's Throat!

Everything said in this article is true. Conservatives do not have a party, and should form one. We have had a century of trying to get anything done with the GOP, and it will never happen, I don't care how many "elections" there are. Voters have no say in the candidates, no say in how this country is ran. It's all a scam of pretended legitimacy for these governments.

McArdle’s article captured all of my thoughts nicely, including Sir Robin. We can go back even farther - Trent Lott, Arlen Specter and their ilk. My other question is, why do they bother? Part of the answer comes at the end; getting filthy rich while getting a sub $200K salary. But still, why? Why don’t they just run as Democrats and be done with us? Maybe because they’re too pathetic for the other party. Maybe when the Dems sufficiently protect democracy until only they can win elections, they’ll throw their formerly useful idiots under the bus and out them.

Eff around and find out. A 63-year-old leftist from Syracuse, New York, has been arrested in Florida after being accused of keying a pickup truck with a “Let’s Go Brandon” sticker that provoked his ire. Richard Philip Brothers was arrested on March 26, 2024, after he was caught on camera keying a green Toyota Tundra in the parking lot of a Winn-Dixie supermarket in Monroe County, Florida. The incident occurred two days prior, on March 24. According to the police report obtained by The Gateway Pundit, “Richard Brothers knowingly and intentionally used a key to scrape the paint on the victim’s vehicle.

With the ongoing unrest across college campuses over Israel’s war in Gaza, Joe Biden continues to deal with chaos within his party’s base. Biden needs Jewish voters to win in 2024, a bloc that’s become increasingly uneasy with the Democrats’ enabling and reluctance to call out vicious antisemitism. He also needs young voters, who appear to be more loyal to Hamas than to our country. The political reality it that Joe Biden will have to kiss up to antisemites to stay alive in 2024. To prevent further discord among core Democratic Party voter groups, he’s ditching a menthol ban to avoid a rebellion among black voters

Watching the idiocy on college campuses this week and seeing all the explanations for protests in favor of murderous Hamas, two tweets seem particularly on point. There’s the great David Burge (Iowahawk) who calls these outbursts “Hamas slumber parties,” and says “This is like staging a pro-Nazi lunch counter sit-in and getting mad that people won’t treat you like you’re a modern-day Rosa Parks.” He attributes protests for the Intifada and slogans reading “from the River to the Sea” by numbskulls who have admittedly no idea what they are protesting as the result of baby-proofing houses

CNN anchor Kaitlin Collins got schooled by former Attorney General Bill Barr when she pressed him about his belief that Joe Biden is a greater "threat to democracy" than Donald Trump, and insisting that he thinks "the real threat to democracy is the progressive movement." "So it’s not about me. I think that, that I’ve said this all along. If faced with a choice between two people, neither of which I think should be president, I feel it’s my duty to pick the person who I think would do the least damage to the country,"

After the release of this incriminating audio, federal agents raided J6 political prisoner Ryan Samsel’s jail cell and dragged him to solitary confinement in the hole of the Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn on Thursday night. Earlier today, Alicia Powe at The Gateway Pundit exposed J6 insurrection leader Ray Epps lying to the FBI in a leaked interview to The Gateway Pundit. Epps repeatedly lied to authorities saying he was listening to President Trump’s speech at the Ellipse when there is numerous video clips proving Epps was not being truthful. Ray Epps was directing Trump supporters to the US Capitol for hours before the protests on Capitol Hill.

This is the White House in which angry parents at school board meetings and pro-life Catholics are treated as terrorists, while every year there is a new record number of actual terrorists being caught crossing what used to be the nation’s Southern border.

For some reason the lapdog media is not reporting today that Stormy Daniels owes President Trump $300,000 for making false claims against him. In March 2022, the 9th Circuit Court issued a final ruling in the case brought against Trump by disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti and Stormy. The court ruled that Stormy Daniels owed President Trump $300,000 in legal fees for filing a frivolous lawsuit against the US President. The media is ignoring this important development as they continue to lie by omission to the American public.

Ford Motor Company reported a whopping $132,000 loss on each electric vehicle (EV) sold during the first three months of 2024, amassing a $1.3 billion loss. The auto manufacturer’s electric vehicle unit revealed Thursday that they experienced a 20 percent decrease in sales volume and were forced to slash prices due to low consumer demand, CNN reported. The revenue for Ford’s EV car, the Model e, plunged by 84 percent to about $100 million, which the company blamed on EV price cuts across the auto industry. “That resulted in the $1.3 billion loss before interest and taxes (EBIT), and the massive per-vehicle loss in the Model e unit,” the publication noted.​

Chattanooga, Tennessee, is known as “Gig City,” not for its many live music venues, but for its role as the first city in the Western Hemisphere to offer 1 gigabit-per-second fiber internet service to residents and businesses, an honor that it claimed in 2010. In 2024, Chattanooga has come to be representative of a different movement—the labor movement in the South. An overwhelming vote by the city’s Volkswagen employees on April 19 to join the United Auto Workers (UAW) union was the first crack in a decades-long barrier holding back the labor movement south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Until now, the Chattanooga facility has been the only non-union Volkswagen plant worldwide.

The German city of Hamburg saw over a thousand Muslims rally on Saturday against the freedom of the press and other liberal values of the country while calling for the imposition of an Islamic caliphate. Around 1,100 gathered in the central Hamburg district of St. Georg — a progressive area of Germany’s second-largest city often identified as a gay neighbourhood — to demonstrate against what they perceived as an attempt by the media to portray all Muslims in Germany as radical Islamists. However, the rhetoric reported from the event indicated the radical positions of the group itself, with chants of Allahu Akbar (God is great or Our God is greater than yours).

From New York to California, students protesting the Israel-Hamas war slept in tents at college campuses, as some universities moved to shut down encampments and arrested dozens of demonstrators after reports of antisemitic activity. With the death toll mounting in the war in Gaza, protesters nationwide are demanding schools cut financial ties to Israel and divest from companies they say enable the conflict. Some Jewish students say the protests have veered into antisemitism and made them afraid to set foot on campus. At Columbia University in New York City, where early protests sparked pro-Palestinian demonstrations across the country, students and administrators have engaged in negotiations,

President Biden took the stage at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday and cracked jokes about his old age. Biden spoke before a crowd of nearly 3,000 journalists, celebrities and Washington insiders at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., as hundreds of anti-Israel protesters rallied outside. The black-tie annual event gives Biden a major platform to speak to voters — and flex his sense of humor — while his approval rating sits at a historic low ahead of the November election. Biden, 81, made jokes to make light of voters’ concerns about electing him into office for another four years in his advanced age. The 2024 election is in full swing.

Willis paid Wade over $653,000 between 2022 and 2023 while the two were dating.

I think that’s the way this will end — there will be some immunity for some of the actions,” Graham said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Newly unsealed transcripts of a witness interview with a DOJ prosecutor further prove Trump was set up. Judge Aileen Cannon ordered documents unsealed in Jack Smith’s classified documents case against Trump. An unidentified witness told DOJ prosecutor Michael Thakur that after the Trump Administration ended, the General Services Administration (GSA) stored six pallets of boxes in Virginia. They eventually contacted Trump’s team and told them to come pick up the boxes. These were the boxes that ended up having documents with “classified markings” on them. The boxes were dumped outside of DC in Virginia and then ended up at Mar-a-Lago.

Although police were poised to disband the encampment at around 3 a.m. on Friday morning, city officials in the police chief’s and mayor’s office told police to stand down and said that it would look bad publicly for police to disrupt a “small number of peaceful protesters,” the Washington Post reported on Friday.
