I've always found it difficult to understand how anyone who runs a business can support Democrats and their burdensome policies and regulations, yet many do and some industries in particular are the worst offenders. Well, it appears now that some are starting to wake up Silicon Valley investors, who have historically displayed staunch support for Democratic candidates, are bucking the trend this year by shifting allegiance away from President Biden and openly embracing former President Donald Trump. It's a bit of a surprising twist in this year's election, yet, completely understandable if you ask me. "Prominent moguls such as David Sacks, Chamath Palihapitiya, Marc Andreessen and Shaun

Perhaps the greatly reduced bottom line as a result of demoslut policies has finally broken through the nonsense of liberalism.

I think that businessmen have learned that politicians can be very dangerous to the interests. Without debating the merits of the it, anti trust actions of the government broke up companies. Government siding with labor created a multitude of problems for companies. Anti pollution actions have cost business a fortune. Regulatory compliance costs are enormous. Whether some of these and other government actions were necessary, they were certainly costly. So, business thought to leash government. They did this by contributing to politicians and the causes they supported to buy votes. Since politicians were being funded by businesses, they were disinclined to take harsh actions against them. As extreme contributions created problems, laws were carefully crafted to "limit" contributions while leaving enormous loopholes and devious workarounds were developed to keep the money flowing. Biden, Inc. is one of the most egregious examples. However, a problem developed. The dem party (and the bureaucracy) became infested with special interest groups, radical and unstable factions, and anti American actors that wormed their way into the halls of power. These groups, some knowing that business is America's strength and wanting to undermine that strength, and others that simply and foolishly despise the idea of business, are not interested in making a deal with businesses. All forms of business inherently understand the need to negotiate and make deals. A dem party that was willing to play the game could be a partner. A dem party and a bureaucracy lost to groups that hate America and hate business can not be negotiated or reasoned with. The fact that businesses are turning against the dems is the recognition that a tipping point has been reached. There can be no accommodation with such a government. There are many examples in the world of rulers that take over everything in a country. The outcome is never good. "Why did it take so long?" Because business does NOT want conflict with government. It's bad for business. The reason they are doing this now is because they realize their survival, as a whole, is at stake. They can no longer take the careful path because that path has been destroyed by the internal actors working against America and against the concept of privately owned business. Trump is not a government stooge. He is a businessman. He KNOWS what America's strength comes from; it's People, a limited government run by those People, and free enterprise. Trump is scary because he is not timid. His life and his actions are tumultuous. Business leaders don't like tumultuous. But they know he is the only horse heading in the right direction.

Socialist Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as Mayor of New York, and delivered an inauguration speech that included a phrase that will inspire meme-makers for years to come.

UPDATE, 2 p.m. Eastern: The Department of Homeland Security has attested that the footage is real. Original story: The cellphone footage multiple outlets posted on X shows the near-deadly assault on a federal immigration officer that caused him to shoot his assailant in self-defense, with the video being from the officer’s point of view. Alpha News and Townhall published what is apparently cellphone footage showing up close and personal how Renee Nicole Good, a terroristic leftist activist radicalized by other rioters, deliberately rammed her car straight into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer standing in front of the vehicle as he told her to get out of the car.

As William Buckley used to say, herewith a few thoughts…mine on the death of Renee Nicole Good and related events. Minnesota’s state and local authorities — Governor Walz, Attorney General Ellison, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, to take only the leading figures — have all but explictly called for resistance to federal law enforcement in Minnesota. Walz, for example, has referred to ICE as the Gestapo and called for “a firewall” against it in Minnesota. Walz and fellow Democrats support a form of what was called “massive resistance” when Senator Harry Byrd sought to block the integration of public schools in the era of Southern segregation.

Legal Expert Analysis: ICE Agent Was Fully

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said on Thursday that footage shows the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent appeared to be within his rights to open fire at a vehicle in Minneapolis, Minnesota. An ICE agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good inside her vehicle after she obstructed a federal immigration enforcement operation and began to drive away. Turley said on “Fox & Friends” that legal precedent likely justifies the shooting since the vehicle may be treated as a weapon. “The fact is that under the standard of Tennessee v. Garner, this does appear to be a justified shooting. It doesn’t mean that’s how it’s going to work out.

The Left has coordinated its story on the death of Renee Good, the woman who was shot yesterday by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. The party line is that the agent didn’t need to shoot Good, because she was turning her car and wouldn’t have hit him. Thus, the New York Times’s email carries this subject heading: “Videos contradict Trump administration account of ICE shooting in Minneapolis.” The Times says: An analysis of footage shows that the vehicle driven by a woman who was fatally shot by an ICE agent appeared to be turning away from the officer as he opened fire. The Washington Post says almost exactly the same thing.

Let’s start our 2026 by imagining the worst-case scenario – that Donald Trump was somehow beaten by that drunken trollop in 2024. Where would we be right now? Well, we’d be in a very different country, and many of us might very well be in cells. You’ve got a lot of black-pilling from people on our side that not enough people have been arrested, or the administration is moving too slowly on their particular obsession, or that everything isn’t perfect, which means everything is wrong. There’s some truth to that, because we can always do better, but we cannot forget that divine Providence has smiled upon us.

In the aftermath of the fatal shooting Wednesday in Minneapolis of a woman who appears to have tried to ram an ICE agent with her vehicle, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced at a press conference that he had issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard to mobilize to “protect Minnesotans” from “rogue ICE agents.” When asked if the National Guard would be deployed against federal agents, or if anything like that has ever happened before, Walz said,

Whenever Minnesota Governor Tim Walz leaves office, he will leave in disgrace — even puttting the world-beating frauds over which he has presided to one side. He has compiled the worst gubernatorial record in Minnesota history. In addition to the damage he has done to the state, he is dishonest, stupid, vain, petty, thin-skinned, and tyrannical. On the national stage in the 2024 presidential elelction, with his previously undisaplayed effeminate theatrics, we also observed that he is a phony. All in all, a thoroughly repulsive character. At his press conference yesterday Walz attacked First Assistant United States Attorney Joe Thompson, implying that Thompson should be fired for providing Minnesotans his assessment

Driving down Snelling Avenue in St. Paul yesterday, I had a flashback from days gone by. Several protesters were flashing “No blood for oil” signs at Snelling and Grand. They took me back to 2003 and Bushitler — how quaint. Perhaps the signs were recycled. One of the protesters even sported a full face mask. I should have stopped to ask whether the mask was to scare off Covid or to conceal his or her identity, but I passed by. Today I read that an organization named The People’s Forum is spinning up protests against the extraction of Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela to face American justice.
