During the “Overtime” segment of his HBO show “Real Time” aired on CNN on Friday, host Bill Maher said that there has been a switch between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party as to “who the elitists are. It used to be the country club Republicans, and now it’s the Chardonnay-sipping Democrat.” Maher asked Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) if going after employers who employ illegal immigrants would help with border security.Cruz responded that it would help and he’s in favor of it and E-Verify and has introduced legislation on it. Maher then asked, “And what happened? Your party must not like that, because we know cheap labor’s good.” Cruz responded,

Nothing has switched, Bill. It has always been that way - you were just too ignorant and ill informed to have seen it.

Damn.....Maher gets it. For a long time the conventional wisdom was that the Dems were the "party of the little guy". Now they are the party oppressing the little guy.

If there was any switch it occurred long before my time. I'd suggests before 1860, yes 1860. What was the civil war all about? Slave owners were elitists, Lincoln was born into poverty in a log cabin in Kentucky. Not much has changed in the last 160 years.

You may like Maher, you may not, but he's one of the smarter ones out there, and making more sense on many issues than a lot of "Republicans" these days, and more than any Democrat in or out of the media. He has to maintain his liberal credibility by trashing Trump and "the right" in general terms, but he's killing the left and woke idiocy on a regular basis. And what is very interesting is that when he does ridicule woke progressive morons, his audience laughs and cheers. I may be wrong, but don't think that he's faking it. Ann Coulter, his friend, once remarked that she hated Bill Maher's audience (back then mostly liberal kooks) almost as much as he did.

John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten of the late 'Seventies punk band, The Sex Pistols, came to the same conclusion as Bill Maher a few years ago, when he said, "I never thought I'd see the day where the right wing would become the cool ones giving the finger to the establishment, and the left wing becoming the sniveling, self-righteous, twatty ones going around shaming everyone." Another sane rock star warned us thus: "Reality is what it is, not what you want it to be." Words of Frank Zappa.

Republicans used to be called eggheads by the media and the other dim-0s, cause they stressed education. 'Course, they were becoming doctors and lawyers and such back then. Most dim-0s were down South back then and still recovering from the civil war. Nowdays dim-0s stress higher education for everyone except they get degrees in interpreting native dance rituals or some other useless crap and then cry cause they cant find a job. Conservatives also used to be the PROGRESSIVES in the country, " course that was while the country was growing from wagon trains across unaccessed mountain trails into an interstate highway crisscrossed country. dim-0s would also like to have people believe that the parties switched on race. Fact is, after the civil war, a Republican congress voted FOR reparations for the former slaves, 40 acres and a mule. A dim-0 prez, andrew johnson, vetoed that. So instead we gave the liberty to make their own way like every other race we have here, and continue to do exactly that to this day. On race, the parties have not changed one iota since 1865.

Furious migrants are refusing to stay in tent shelters set up for them in New York City - at great expense to the taxpayer - as they prefer their plush hotels in Manhattan. A group of asylum seekers were seen being bused to Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn on Sunday. The site, part of a national park located in southeast of the New York City borough, is expected to hold 2,000 people. But they were immediately loaded on a bus back to Manhattan as they complained that they had jobs back in the city - and their kids had schools to attend.

Bill Maher has slammed Barack Obama for his 'moral equivalency' over the Gaza war after the former president called Israel's Palestinian occupation 'unbearable.' The comedian said: 'The attack was only a month ago, a more savage attack than we've ever seen in reverse. There's a big difference in collateral damage and what Hamas did.' The Islamist terror group slaughtered 1,200 civilians and took more than 200 hostage in its massacre on October 7. Since then, the Palestinians claim more than 10,000 people have died in Israel's bombing campaign.

David Axelrod, the man who helped mastermind Barack Obama's 2008 run to the White House, now says President Joe Biden's age is a huge issue for Democrats and one with no apparent solution. It comes after Biden, 80, suffered an embarrassing moment of confusion at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier as he stumbled through a Veterans Day service. While he didn't reference it on Sunday, Axelrod - who served as chief strategist of Obama's two campaigns for the White House - said that Biden's age is becoming a problem as he hammered the president for the second time in a week.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass recently issued an order allowing the use of residential hotel rooms, typically reserved for low-income, disabled, and elderly residents, as temporary shelters for the homeless. This move, part of the Inside Safe initiative, aims to address the city’s homelessness crisis by providing immediate shelter, despite potentially conflicting with a 2008 city law designed to protect these residential units. The order states: During this Local emergency, any unit in a Residential Hotel, whether a Residential Unit or Tourist Unit, may be made available for shelter and interim housing provided to an otherwise unsheltered individual under a booking or occupancy agreement

Chicago has become so unpleasant that migrants are fleeing back to Venezuela after being dumped in shelters and refused better paying jobs. Since August last year, 20,700 migrants have arrived in Chicago from Texas. The Lone Star State's Governor Greg Abbott sent migrants to Chicago and other Democrat-run cities because of their proud status as 'sanctuary cities.' They offer enhanced protection against detention or deportation for undocumented migrants. Now, Illinois' harsh winters, lack of migrant infrastructure, and ambivalent support from locals has made many people, who undertook the harsh US-Mexico border journey, actually turn around and go back home.

Pro-Hamas protestors on the campus of MIT were warned that if they didn’t disperse–they were violating campus policies that prohibited interfering with academic activities and the free movement of students and staff–they would be suspended. The protestors were warned several times and failed to disperse. Jewish students were prevented from entering the campus through the main entrance and were rerouted. Once the protestors finally dispersed the administration decided to not follow through on their threats to punish the students for violating the policies of the school. It was a bit of a surprise because MIT President Kornbluth seemed ready to follow through on her threat. So why didn’t she?

Tens of thousands of people have signed a petition backing a conservative bishop in Texas who has been dismissed from his position by Pope Francis. In a brief statement on Saturday, the Vatican said Francis, in a rare move, had "removed" Bishop Joseph Strickland of the pastoral governance of Tyler and appointed the bishop of Austin as the diocese's interim administrator. Strickland is one of the pope's fiercest critics among U.S. Catholic conservatives and has been particularly critical of the pope's attempt to make the church more welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community.

On Friday, The Washington Post reported that journalists by the hundreds are signing a petition demanding that all media outlets should describe Israel in hateful terms, including "apartheid," "ethnic cleansing," and "genocide." In other words, they want all news accounts to sound like an "eradicate Israel" rally. But the Post used the most anodyne words for this radical petition. On the front page of the Style section, it said "Journalists sign letter protesting war coverage." On an inside page, it was "Letter calls for precise terminology." Are they too afraid to put "apartheid" and "genocide" in the headline?

It is an authoritarian, political ideology that forcibly imposes itself on all aspects of any society unfortunate enough to be under its yoke. Islam demands complete subjugation by its adherents. [snip] Islam allows no dissent. It is a complete and total way of life that glorifies oppression, slavery, and death. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, cultural, and military components. The religious component is the veil that hides the dangers.
