Wes Moore’s star is rising as Democrats
look for a comeback
Posted By: NorthernDog, 3/21/2025 2:53:01 PM
When Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) took the stage at the annual Gridiron Club dinner Saturday night, he mockingly made mention of the thing Democrats have been buzzing about for months: his presidential ambitions. “If I actually wanted to be president, I wouldn’t do any of this,” Moore said. “Instead, I would take my case directly to the people who are in charge of our democracy: the Kremlin.” (Snip) “Wes Moore is the Captain America of Democratic politics,” said Jamal Simmons, a prominent party strategist who worked for former Vice President Kamala Harris. “He’s a veteran, an athlete and a

ATLANTA — U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff came home to Atlanta Saturday to rally core Democrats desperate for effective action now against President Donald Trump’s administration. “Georgia will bow to no king!” Ossoff proclaimed at the end of a 20-minute speech that labeled Trump as corrupt, out of touch with the problems of regular people, and “trying to poison our democracy with fear and intimidation.” “Atlanta, this is not a drill. Atlanta, this is not a bad dream,” said Ossoff, who could be the Republicans’ No. 1 Democratic target in the 2026 elections. “As citizens, this is the test of our
WASHINGTON — The dustup over the future of the Democratic Party and how lawmakers should blunt President Donald Trump’s grip on Washington showed little signs of abating this week, with Sen. John Fetterman, of Pennsylvania, still playing a central role.
Former Democratic Congressman Conor Lamb, who finished second to Mr. Fetterman in the state’s 2022 Senate primary, accused the senator on Friday of “collaborating with — rather than fighting” the president and his Republican Party, which controls both chambers of Congress. Mr. Lamb said Mr. Fetterman — who has slammed Democratic protests of Trump and last week voted in favor
Democrats overwhelmingly selected former Vice President Kamala Harris as their preferred candidate in a Morning Consult poll released on Friday. Four months after losing the 2024 election to President Donald Trump, Harris led the competition in the survey in a mock 2028 Democratic primary and the results were not close. Harris, who has not announced any intention to seek another presidential nomination, led a pack of 19 candidates with the support of 36%. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg came in second with 10% support. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom, and Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz all

Congressional Democrats — who were hoping to blast Republicans over budget cuts — instead took incoming from their exasperated constituents when they traveled home to host town halls. In Arizona, Sens. Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly were confronted at a joint forum Monday by an attendee demanding to know if they “would support removing” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. In Oregon, an audience member told Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Janelle Bynum on Sunday that he is “so p----- off right now at the leadership in the United States Senate that they are not willing to step up and fight.”

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed during a lengthy call Tuesday to an immediate pause in strikes against energy and infrastructure targets in the Ukraine war, but the Russian leader stopped short of backing a broader 30-day pause in fighting that the U.S. administration is pressing for. The White House described it as the first step in a “movement to peace” it hopes will eventually include a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea and a full and lasting end to the fighting. The White House added negotiations would “begin immediately” in the Middle East on
Senate Democrats are bracing for a painful post-mortem as they try to avoid a September rerun of their latest government funding defeat. Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, and nine of his members helped get a House GOP-authored government funding bill to the finish line, saying a vote to advance legislation they loathed was the least bad option. The alternative, they argued, was allowing a shutdown that could empower President Donald Trump and Elon Musk to accelerate their slashing of the federal bureaucracy. (Snip) Schumer’s strategy exposed major fissures within the party, marking for many of his members a disappointing
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) went after Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) for criticizing recent Democratic party tactics. In an interview on CNN’s State of the Union, Jake Tapper confronted Crockett about the widely-mocked “Choose Your Fighter” TikTok video — which was slammed by Fetterman as “bizarre.” (Snip) “He’s not the one to talk about anything,” Crockett said. “I mean, this is a guy that doesn’t seemingly want to own a suit. own a suit, I’m not really sure. But I don’t show up in hoodies when I’m going on the floor.”

Hunter’s Wonderful Life

A ne’er do well (or, is that a bon vivant?), a Yale law graduate who was booted from the Navy for failing a cocaine test, bedded his recently widowed sister-in-law, sold childish splashes of paint masquerading as art for millions of dollars, denied paternity and support for his illegitimate daughter, and received $30 million by trading on his father’s stature and willingness to break bread with his marks, Hunter Biden apparently blew it all on sex, drugs, and more sex. In a new court filing, Hunter lamented that his art sales are down 98%, no one will hire him to
In a dramatic break with much of their party, ten Senate Democrats voted alongside Republicans on Friday to pass a six-month funding bill, averting a government shutdown with just hours to spare. The move defied a majority of the chamber's Democrats who opposed the measure, underscoring deep divisions over how to confront President Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress. Ahead of the vote, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada were among the first Democrats to publicly back the Republican funding bill, arguing that a shutdown would
The Internal Revenue Service ordered most of its approximately 20,000 customer service employees back to the office this week, ending a long era of hybrid and remote work. There was just one problem: The IRS didn’t have enough desks to seat them all. And so, many customer service workers learned Sunday that they would not have to return to the office on Monday, after all. The Return to Office (RTO) mandate has been postponed until further notice, union leaders said Wednesday. In the end, the IRS and its employee union evidently agreed that the back-to-office order might lead to long
Longtime Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva, D-Ariz., died Thursday from “complications of his cancer treatment,” his office announced in a statement. He was 77. Grijalva, who served in the House for more than 20 years, was elected to Congress in 2002. During that time he served as chair of the Natural Resources Committee, and most recently was the top Democrat on that House panel. He also was one of the leading progressive voices on Capitol Hill, and was the longest-serving co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, from 2009 to 2019. (Snip) Grijalva is the second House Democrat to die in office

Defense secretary Pete Hegseth recently floated the idea of renaming the Department of Defense, suggesting a shift toward a more robust and assertive identity that reflects America's commitment to national security. As the Trump administration continues to push back against the growing influence of political correctness in the U.S. military and government institutions, Hegseth's proposal resonates with those who believe it’s time to refocus on strength, readiness, and the defense of American values. In an X poll, Hegseth asked the public for their opinion
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) claimed Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that in 2026, congressional Republicans “will feel like rats on a sinking ship.”
Host Kristen Welker said, “Some Democrats are saying they want leadership to show more fight in this moment. They think that’s what’s required and you were instrumental in urging President Biden out of the 2024 race when he wasn’t convinced. I’ve had conversations with Democrats who says this moment feels similar. Are you making the same mistake that President Biden did?”
Schumer said, “No absolutely not. I did this out of conviction. in my caucus we have a disagreement
The recently self-deported actress and comedian Rosie O’Donnell is taking her conspiracy theories to Ireland.
In an interview with Irish television channel RTE 1, O’Donnell was asked by the host about whether she respected the decision of the American people.
“A lot of people did vote for him,” the host said. “Do you accept their right to do that and their opinion of him?”
O’Donnell responded:
Well, I respect their right to do that.
I question why the first time in American history a president has won every swing state, and is also best friends and his largest donor was a man who owns and runs the Internet.
Mike Benz, the founder of the Foundation for Freedom Online, recently joined Joe Rogan on his very popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience with over 19 million subscribers.
** The entire podcast is here.
The podcast was filmed several weeks ago but a clip from this discussion is making the rounds this week on social media.
During their conversation, Mike Benz shared how Barack Obama was using money to USAID to pretend to send “aid” overseas. In actuality, Obama was laundering the taxpayer dollars and using it to train “rent-a-mobs” instead!
First he was a "knucklehead" now he's a "smarta--." Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, said Saturday that he was making a joke when he made a comment last week mocking Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk for the company's recent downward trend in the stock market. Walz attempted to clarify his comments during a town hall in Rochester, Minnesota. "This guy bugs me in a way that’s probably unhealthy," Walz said, referring to Musk.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has called a snap federal election on April 28, claiming he needs a strong mandate to address President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Speaking in Ottawa on Sunday, Carney said the elections, which are not due until Oct. 20, should be pushed up in the face of the Trump administration. (Photo) “We are facing the most significant crisis of our lifetimes because of President Trump’s unjustified trade actions and his threats to our sovereignty,” Carney said.
“He wants to break us so America will own us. We will not let that happen,” he added.
Al Gore’s Phony Climate Alarmism Exposed

In my new film, The Climate According to AI Al Gore, I expose the foundational lies of climate science of Al Gore, the godfather of the climate change movement.
Because of Gore, today, governments worldwide spend billions on carbon dioxide reduction policies.
It all began in 1992 when Gore published his climate emergency manifesto, Earth in the Balance, where he claimed that carbon dioxide was dooming the planet and called for environmental control to become “the central organizing principle for civilization.”
Then, in 2006, with the release of his film An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore’s climate change movement exploded.
Someday a good Disney remake will come … but this isn’t it. The modern Disney Co. shouldn’t have remade “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” — it has lost the innovative genius, the artistry, and the appreciation for Western classics that made Walt Disney’s original film one of the most iconic and beloved movies of all time.
Yes, I know, everyone is tired of hearing about Rachel Zegler, the Wokest of Them All, but since the original Snow White (still one of the highest grossing films of all time) is a personal favorite of mine and it’s the weekend, let’s examine what used to make Disney movies great,
By now, we all know that Justice Roberts and Justice Coney-Barrett aren’t exactly batting for the home team.We’ve been sounding the alarm on the Amy Coney Barrett disaster from day one—even urging President Trump to steer clear. We knew she wasn’t the right pick for a moment this big, and sadly, we were right.Amy Coney Barrett strikes again—alongside Justice Roberts. However, by now, Roberts’ betrayals have become pretty much predictable, but many had high hopes for Barrett, given her history as a clerk for Justice Scalia, one of the greatest Supreme Court Justices of our time. In fact, she was once hailed as “Scalia’s heir.”
