Only 8 Republican Mayors Left

In April, there were 9 Republican mayors in America’s 50 biggest cities. In May, that number fell to 8. Democrats are celebrating Omaha’s mayoral election win as proof that Republicans are out of step with America, when it’s really evidence how the nation’s cities have fallen out of step with America. There was a time when America’s cities were symbols of progress, but they have long since become sinkholes of decline, clinging to a handful of industries that employ a tiny fraction of their population as evidence of their relevance.

Most large cities are manure holes and not worth the time or trouble to bother with. A few might have some interesting activities or attractions but they are no safe, peaceful place to live.

Large urban areas elect a Republican mayor only when the constituency finally realizes their fiscal "house" is in dire straights following long seasons of Democrat hacks spending their way into fiscal oblivion. They almost never elect one when times are "good."

The cities are where gangs, corruption, crimes, drugs, prostitution and other population maladies are mostly found. It is no accident that the cities are the first to fall, especially under Democrat rule. I say give the cities over to them if that is what their citizens want. The rest of us can move outside the city. So long as Democrat voters don’t know the connection between voting Democrat and high crime/corruption, the cities won’t change. They will always be cesspools. Or as Trump referred to Haiti, poo-holes. (I cleaned that up.)

It’s very simple, conservatives just don’t spend their money in progressive cities. Here in FL, St.Pete and Tampa have progressive mayors, so we don’t do business there. Boston, used to love going there, but not with Michelle Wu. New York with all the crime and grime, no thanks.

Really shows the division between large city dwellers and the rest of America. It is not coincidental. A divided enemy is more easily defeated and America certainly has enemies. Those enemies have come a long way. They are controlling our government.

The California effect. What happens in large cities carries over to the State and Federal level. See California, Illinois and New York where large blue cities dominate the state. It's been spreading for a while too. See the governor of Washington - went all dem in 1985. Or Colorado - went all dem in 2007. It's now happening in Texas.

Thirty years ago, Denver was a nice, safe city with many places to go in the evenings. Then it elected a succession of democrat mayors. Now it is a cess pool of homeless, illegals, and high crime. Is it any wonder no one goes there anymore?

This is great news Nebraska! Or is that Aksarben? Guess what? The dead democrat vote has just been bolstered due to the largest city in the state going to a democrat mayor. In addition, ballot fraud will now help "The Party" even more in upcoming city and statewide elections. Isn't it wonderful? Congratulations! All hail "The Party", aka the CCP wannabe.

Congressional Republicans are the absolute worst, for many reasons, but this time, it has to do with the “big” and “beautiful” tax bill that’s working its way toward Donald Trump’s desk—Republicans, despite holding both houses, as well as the Oval Office, are set to retain hundreds of billions of dollars in Green New Deal provisions, if they get their way.[Snip] Mike Johnson, like the serpent he is, craftily he touted the “$500 billion” in cuts, but ignored the hundreds of billions he and his cohorts retained or worse, expanded:

Illegal aliens are being recruited to join sophisticated criminal networks in the United States that stage accidents and injuries to get payouts through the nation’s personal injury system, House Republicans told Attorney General Pam Bondi.[snip] “These fraudulent schemes pose serious risks to public safety, increase consumer costs, and raise insurance premiums for the motoring public,” the Republicans wrote. “According to the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud, insurance fraud costs the U.S. $308 billion annually, with $45 billion attributable to property and casualty insurance fraud. More importantly, these activities put innocent motorists at risk of injury or even death.”

I have no idea how to comprehend this act of incompetence. Last Friday, severe storms rolled into St. Louis.

It was human error: the emergency management director, Sarah Russell, essentially forgot to turn it on, but it gets worse: the staff wasn’t even in the office. Russell contacted the fire department to initiate the system, but this was a shambolic failure

In the last two and a half years, eight sitting members of the House or Senate have died in office. Every time, it's been a Democrat. Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, died on Wednesday at 75, after a battle with esophageal cancer. He's the third House Democrat to die in the last three months. If Democrats had gained a narrow 1 or 2-seat majority in 2024, they would have lost it by now. The streak of Democratic deaths could just be something of a coincidence. After all, there are plenty of elderly

Ed Martin’s nomination to serve as DC Attorney was nuked by Republican Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC). He was in office on an interim basis. Trump selected Jeanine Pirro to replace Martin, who is now a pardon attorney and helming the Department of Justice’s weaponization task force. Martin is looking at Biden’s pardons, specifically the ones issued toward the end of his presidency. They might not be legal. It comes off allegations that Biden aides might have illegally used the autopen. President Trump has asked who was behind the autopen since it’s become clear that Joe Biden was not mentally cogent enough to know what was going on (via The Hill):

Now replace those toddlers with embittered semi-celebrities clinging to cultural relevance, amplify their egos with national airtime, and broadcast it five days a week. That’s The View. What once was pitched as a platform for intelligent dialogue has morphed into a bitter cocktail of rage, identity politics, and intellectual laziness.

The real nakba [catastrophe, for Palestinians] was that they started a war and lost it. Well, if you start a war, that is what can happen. The Trump administration should beware of countries where the mouth says one thing but the legs do the opposite. Believe the legs.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reassures Americans that "We are not seeking war, we favor negotiation and dialogue." Meanwhile, Khamenei calls for the elimination of the "Zionist regime" and endorses "Death to America."
