Democrats rashly ignore political problems
among their own usual voters

Not many people in the national press were paying attention to the Democratic presidential primary results in West Virginia on May 8, 2012. Barack Obama was the incumbent president, and few outside local press noticed that Keith Russell Judd, a Texas convict sitting in a federal prison for extortion, had sent in the proper paperwork and paid the $2,500 filing fee necessary to be on the ballot. Even had they paid attention, chances are no one expected him to have an impact. Yet he won a whopping 41% of the vote in West Virginia’s Democratic primary, earning 72,000 votes to Obama’s 106,000. While Nelson did not win, his impact was lost because

When it comes to American Black voters, the leftist and socialist Democrats figure that they have that Black vote that they need to win elections "in the bag" so to speak, and is why they have no problem in flooding the Black "communities" in the big leftist and socialist Democrat run so-called "sanctuary cities" with illegal aliens (migrants) who are about to seriously cut into the government provided welfare "pie" that has been going to those "communities" with pieces of that "pie" diverted to unlimited numbers of incoming illegal aliens (migrants) who the leftist and socialist Democrats intend to transform into future leftist and socialist Democrat supporters and voters by the tens of millions in the years ahead. That is evident as the leftist and socialist Democrat Mayors, most of them Black, are pleased as punch to welcome unlimited numbers of incoming illegal aliens into their cities, especially those who are considered to be members of minority groups in accordance with Democrat identity politics, with their only immediate problem being is that they want the Federal Government to send them unlimited billions of Federal tax dollars to pay the costs to resettle whatever illegal aliens arrive.

As usual, an intelligently researched, 'meet the people and talk to them' sort of an actual new story, the kind that Selena Zito excels with. Let's hope that the Dems continue to spit on a big piece of their old support base. The UAW leadership says that huge numbers of UAW union workers will not vote for Biden. I hope they support Trump.

This is no longer America. This is China. The democratic party do not pay attention so their voters become their voters no longer have a say. We only get news that is made up news by the state. Do a search on any search engine. You will find only news the state wants you to hear. We have lost our voice.

I always make sure to read Salena Zito's pieces because she usually nails it as she has with this one. However where she states that Biden and Clinton made the mistake of being utterly dismissive of the voters, their lives, and contributions to their communities that is incorrect. It was not a mistake at all ..... from the get-go neither one cared one bit about the people. Sure, they made noises during speeches to evince some sincerity but at the heart of it they are sham people down to their core. They care about themselves, maintaining power, and accruing as much wealth as they can by any means possible. No amount of money is enough for these vultures.

I suspect the Dems care less about tending to their traditional constituents, because the fix is in, again, and they know it.

By way of clarification: DEMS THEY OWN THE VOTING AND VOTE COUNTING PROCESS! Who needs actual voters?? In fact, during the 2020 election cycle, one dem candidate said, "we don't need your vote. We need your support after the election." Co-operating RINO's nod their heads, collect their payouts and life goes on. IMHO, if every person in this country voted republican, the dem would still eke out a win. They could run a dead dog for president and the dog would win. Until that issue is addressed (with same day vote count, paper ballots, hand-counted, in precinct with an open auditing, receipt or verification process), we can never be sure who is democratically elected to preserve our republic by registered, qualified, living American citizens and who is not.

There was a December 2015 article in Bloomberg which talked about the Democrats changing strategy to the ascendant class which talked about targeting the upper-income, college-educated, single women. Things this article touched upon. This is something the media won't tell their audiences as it would ruin the party for the Progressive Democrat party, which I call today's Democrat party since it's nothing like the party from just a 15 years ago. FTA: Phillips answered that his run for his party’s nomination is in part because he believes his party has left behind too many people who would normally be with them. He said he found them waiting in line for former President Donald Trump: “Got to tell you, guys, I went to Donald Trump rally a couple nights ago, never been to one. I had an event across the street. I saw the line of people waiting in the cold for hours, and I thought, what the heck?” Phillips added he learned that all people wanted was a leader who actually invites people to hear their message and not call them MAGA extremists or condemn them. “Met probably 50 Trump people waiting in line, every single one of them, thoughtful, hospitable, friendly, all of them so frustrated that they feel nobody’s listening to them but Donald Trump,” he said. “A diverse crowd. People who had never been to a Trump event before.” Notice how he was surprised to hear how nice friendly and hospitable these people were, since it's NOT something the media will acknowledge. Otherwise, how can so many think Trump, whom they've portrayed as "hitler", "evil", "dangerous", could any of these people want him to be their President?

What’s a Democrat to do? President Biden’s poll numbers seem set in quicksand. Now the special counsel’s justification for not recommending charges against Biden for having “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials” is damning: Biden’s memory has such “significant limitations” that the special counsel believed he could not convince a jury that Biden has a “mental state of willfulness” that a serious felony (or, presumably, serving as president) requires. Cue the campaign commercials. Salvation lies in the DNC rules.

Remember when Democrats advocated for working-class Americans? My maternal relatives were all Irish Catholic Democrats in decades past. They were deeply conservative in their personal lives and social views, and concurrently deeply committed to the party of John F. Kennedy and Tip O’Neill. Those days now seem like an era of antiquity compared to the radical, even Marxist, Democratic Party of the 2020s. The Biden-Harris Democrats push secular humanist ideology while acting fully in concert with the economic ruling class of America, all at the cavalier expense of middle- and lower-income citizens. This observation is not merely my opinion, but rather the widespread view of working-class Americans

Does America’s 2024 election come down to a choice between two different shades of your crazy uncle, one semi-senile, the other vulgar and erratic? A decade ago, when Donald Trump launched his presidential bid, there was a real clash of visions for the US at stake. “Make America great again” (Maga) heralded the end of globalisation and the return of tariffs, hard borders and nationalism: the stuff of the Dark Ages, as far as establishments on both sides of the Atlantic were concerned. Today, the Trumpian critique of neo-liberal globalisation is echoed by Financial Times columnists – and enacted into policy by the Democrats.

You would think that after three years of Joe Biden’s misbegotten presidency, Americans would have suffered enough and fate would cut us a break. But Kamala Harris has other ideas. As a reminder that things can always get worse, the veep from hell said the four most terrifying words in the English language: “I’m ready to serve.” Oh, God, please, not that! If she gets control of the Oval Office, the last three tumultuous years will be fondly recalled as the good old days. References to a Harris tenure would be spat out as a curse.

The facts we are going to discuss today are important for America's naConal security, and I can only hope that everyone in this room and all representatives and officers of the U.S. Government take them seriously.

Independent voters from around the country had scathing remarks to describe President Biden in a focus group published Tuesday, with most admitting they are leaning toward former President Trump in 2024 despite their own derisive assessments of him. The New York Times spoke with 13 undecided, independent voters at length about the two leading candidates and the issues most important to them heading into the election. The voters, ranging from 22-64 years old, were most concerned about the economy, citing the rising costs of groceries and other bills.

There’s an odd dynamic that plays out when former President Donald Trump gives a campaign speech. Many news organizations have imposed a virtual blackout on his appearances. As a rule, they don’t broadcast Trump’s speeches live and often never report on them at all, even if a particular speech is newsworthy. When Trump won the Iowa caucuses, for example, Fox News carried his victory speech live, while CNN cut away from the speech when Trump discussed immigration, labeling his remarks “anti-immigrant rhetoric” unfit for CNN viewers. MSNBC did not broadcast the speech at all.

A few weeks ago, a “Morning Joe” panel concluded that if Donald Trump were to become the Republican nominee (spoiler alert: he will), Republicans will lose in the fall. This is by no means a unique sentiment – former House Speaker Paul Ryan expressing this idea here, journalist Bernard Goldberg wondering if Trump is trying to lose here, and so forth. As I read these analyses, I wonder if I’ve somehow been transported back to 2016, when such takes were de rigueur. Here in 2024, we know that Donald Trump won in 2016 and came close to winning in 2020. He carried Republican senators across the finish line in both years

By the time the Super Bowl started, it had been extensively reported that President Joe Biden had refused, for the second year in a row, to do the traditional Super Bowl interview. The conventional wisdom was that the 81-year-old president, who has granted relatively few interviews during his time in the White House and has been under intense scrutiny in the last few days for age-related cognitive problems, just could not risk a high-profile interview in his current condition. “It’s the biggest television audience — not even close — and you get a chance to do a 20, 25-minute interview on that day, and you don’t do it?”

It is hard to destroy a naturally beautiful city like San Francisco, with ideal weather and stunning infrastructure inherited from far better earlier generations. Yet San Francisco continues its much-publicized and self-inflicted doom loop. The productive classes still flee the increasingly crime-ridden city and its self-induced pathologies. The city is eroding not because of the doomsayers and not because of what people say about San Francisco, but because of what San Franciscans have done to San Francisco. In 2023, more than 40,000 crimes were reportedly committed in San Francisco. The great majority of the perpetrators were either not arrested or never jailed, indicted, or convicted.

Because after that politically disastrous news conference in the White House is where we are now. Biden is no longer mentally fit to be commander-in-chief. He’s an empty husk. I told you he was a meat puppet years ago. Last week, on national television, he proved it. The world is on the edge of war. China is pushing us in the Pacific, Iran pushes us across the Middle East.

Conservative Republicans have managed to defeat the fake border security bill wrapped in a political ploy inside of a Ukraine bailout bill. Of course, no Republican should have ever imagined that giving open-border Democrats everything they asked for was a smart strategic position, but that’s what they very nearly did. Republicans had already passed a real border security bill within a few months of taking control of the House of Representatives following the 2022 midterm elections. HR-2 actually secured the border – by demanding that the Biden administration finish the border wall, ending Biden’s power to process aliens

And I thought that was something that we should all aspire to. So to me this movement is going totally opposite the teachings of Jesus.”

With more than half of Senate Republicans voting against it during the overnight session, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was clear he placed no value on their arguments.

This time, Republicans received the outcome they sought. “Tonight’s vote was a vote for law and order in our communities, and a vote to restore the rule of law at our southern border,” Rep. John Joyce, R-Penn., told The Daily Signal. On Tuesday night, 214 House members voted in favor of impeaching the DHS secretary, and 213 voted in opposition. No Democrats voted in favor. The Senate is unlikely to act to remove Mayorkas given Democrats’ control of the upper chamber.
