Stupid’ Moves

Democratic strategist James Carville condemned his party on Thursday for pursuing agendas that he argued are disconnected from the concerns of everyday Americans. During the “outrage of the week” segment on his “Politics War Room” podcast, Carville expressed frustration with New York Democrats pushing for pet bereavement leave and with the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) gender rules discussed at its Saturday Winter Meeting.

Comments:

If Carville's pet rat died he'd want time off.

February 6, 2025 "Carville began his critique by targeting a proposal supported by some New York Democrats and progressives that would grant workers paid leave if their pet dies." Fido or Fluffy. Maybe the pet snake or "pet" lion.

The DNC clown show was in full force when they elected their current leaders. Keep talking, James. May the Dem civil war be long and bloody.

Why is he animated again? He's like one of those monsters on Night Stalker that only emerges to eat people every 90 years. He makes money trying to get insane Dems elected then makes money exposing their insanity.

He was fine with every crazy idea the democrats had until they lost the election. He always knew what they were doing wrong , but he went along with it. Just like every Democrats in the Congress goes along with the party. They all know right from wrong, but they vote party.

May be OT, but Alan Dershowitz said he has left the democrat party. I would say he now calls himself an independent, he didn't say. It took him long enough to figure it out. Has lost friends and suffered much in social media. Maybe James should do some thinking along those lines too.

What's with the “Politics War Room” website name? Is Snakehead trying to get traffic shunted his way by the biased search engines, from people looking for Steve Bannon's "War Room"?

Canada's outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has told a group of business leaders he believes President Donald Trump might be serious about annexing his country. Trudeau suggested Trump has floated the idea of taking over Canada and making it the "51st state" because he wants to access the country's critical minerals. "Mr Trump has it in mind that the easiest way to do it is absorbing our country and it is a real thing," the prime minister said.

Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson argued during a Friday podcast that Democratic Texas Rep. Al Green announcing he will bring articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump is emblematic of the Democratic Party’s failure to course-correct after the 2024 election. Trump made significant gains with both Hispanic and black men during the November election. Hanson, on “The Victor Davis Hanson Show,” pointed to Green’s impeachment effort as part of a larger pattern of Democrats being out of touch with their constituents, particularly men.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday that President Donald Trump has not ruled out or committed to sending U.S. troops to Gaza. Trump announced during a joint press conference Tuesday evening that the U.S. will “take over” the Gaza Strip in order to end the Israel-Hamas war and supply “unlimited numbers of jobs and housing” for people in the area. Leavitt said that the president is ready to “rebuild” Gaza for the Palestinian people, though there has been no commitment to U.S. troops entering the region by foot to fight Hamas.

Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) — a major utility company — announced in January that it is terminating power purchase contracts with the owners of Southwestern California’s Ivanpah Solar Power facility, a massive and unique solar project that received hundreds of millions of subsidy dollars as it launched in 2014.

Against the backdrop of the fires that wiped out whole sections of Southern California, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’s careers are in danger due to anger from the state's Democratic base. Calls for both leaders to step down from office have grown since fires started tearing through the swanky hills of Los Angeles on Jan. 7. An online petition demanding Bass step down has garnered more than 166,000 signatures. Newsom was notified of recall papers on Tuesday due to an effort spearheaded by Californian activist Randy Economy.

Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson explained on Friday how Democratic senators’ attacks on President Donald Trump’s nominees during confirmation hearings are backfiring politically because of conservatives’ current ability to push their messages more effectively online. Many Democratic senators have taken adversarial approaches to Trump’s cabinet nominees, including screaming at them, interrupting them and hurling accusations against them. Hanson, on “Victor Davis Hanson Show,” said that Trump’s nominees have all excelled at their hearings as they have come under fire from Democrats.

NewsNation host Chris Cuomo accused Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Wednesday of hypocrisy during her questioning of Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at his confirmation hearing. Warren pressed Kennedy to “commit” to not accepting compensation for any lawsuits against drug companies during his potential tenure at HHS and for four years after, leading to a heated exchange. Cuomo, on “CUOMO,” suggested that Warren’s record, which includes becoming substantially wealthier while in office and misrepresenting her Native American heritage, should have disqualified her from such questioning of Kennedy.

Over the past two weeks Elon Musk and his cadre of young computer geniuses have cracked the code. Like Toto pulling the curtain on the Wizard of Oz, they’ve pulled back the cover on government secrecy. They've shown how oceans of tax revenue have flowed through Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), charitable-sounding foundations, the UN, and others to fund terrorists, disrupters like BLM, and reporters to promote Democrats and censor the opposition, most often to enrich Democrat politicians and their friends, families, and allies. The news you thought was news wasn’t independently and honestly generated. The charities you thought were genuine, weren’t. It’s one big gaslighting grift and you paid for it.

You may have noticed the absolute meltdown of the left over the existence of Elon Musk and the DOGE team doing exactly what Donald Trump was elected to do. I phrased it that way because that’s exactly what is happening – someone is finally going through the government’s books and records to figure out what people do, how much it costs, where the rest of the money is going and whether or not we can live without it since we’re more than $36 trillion in debt. Why would anyone meltdown over that? There’s a very simple reason: Democrats cannot afford for the American people realizing

Elon Musk reported early Monday morning that FEMA sent $59 million just last week to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants. According to Musk, sending this money to these high-end hotels violated the law. This directly interferes with President Trump’s executive order. And why is FEMA paying for illegal alien housing when they ignore Americans suffering and living in tents in places like North Carolina? FEMA funds are meant for American disaster relief and not to fund Joe Biden’s invasion.

The Duke of Sussex is in hot water after conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation filed a lawsuit last year against the Department of Homeland Security to have his immigration records released following Harry admitting to illegal drug use in the past in his 2023 memoir "Spare." "I don’t want to do that," Trump told the New York Post on Friday after being asked if he would deport the royal. "I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Kristinn Taylor reported, Trump announced Friday evening he has revoked Joe Biden’s national security clearance and is stopping his courtesy presidential daily intelligence briefings. The president cited Biden’s precedent of doing the same to him in 2021, as well as the report by Special Counsel Robert Hur on Biden’s “poor memory” in his investigation about Biden stealing and mishandling classified documents as reasons for his action.

He doesn’t want DOGE on a short leash. Space and electric car magnate Elon Musk has suggested that judges who have thrown up roadblocks to his Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) crusade to trim bureaucracy should be impeached. Musk’s ire against the judiciary comes after a New York-based judge temporarily restrained DOGE from accessing the Treasury Department’s payment systems on Saturday and other legal setbacks in recent days. (Photo) “A corrupt judge protecting corruption,” Musk, 53, raged early Sunday against US District Judge Paul Engelmayer, who blocked DOGE’s access to Treasury data. “He needs to be impeached NOW!”
