Why the Democrats Are Losing

Everyone is piling on Jake Tapper these days (including me). But sometimes he makes sense: Tapper and his Original Sin co-author Alex Thompson joined Scott Galloway on The Prof G Pod on Thursday, and Tapper at one point recounted how a left-leaning podcaster made a racism jab about his son after Tapper revealed he wanted to go into law enforcement. “My son is now 15 years old, and he’s a gamer. He’s a football fan, starting linebacker on his varsity football team. The Democratic Party has no way of communicating with him. They have no entree into his world,” Tapper said during a discussion on the Democratic Party’s struggles

Most of us are old enough to remember Ann Coulter. Back in the early days of this here century, Coulter briefly cut a gigantic figure within the American Right. Many found her good-looking (no rarity among con women, it’s true) with traditional WASP features and a mane of blonde hair, though others found her a trifle horse-faced. For a time, it seemed possible that she’d attain a status second only to El Rushbo himself. She appeared on the covers of national magazines, became a go-to source for quotes, and was profiled and tracked in the gossip columns. For a year or two, Coulter appeared unstoppable. Then it all started

Today is the birthday of Minnesota native son Bob Dylan. He turns the ripe old age of 84. It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there. I want to celebrate him as long we’re both still around to enjoy the occasion. He is a remarkable artist, self-invented, deep in the American grain.
A few years back I visited Dylan’s old home at 2425 7th Avenue East in Hibbing. The house is a small two-story residence with a one-car attached garage on the side. The house is exactly two blocks from Hibbing High School, Dylan’s alma mater. A Dylan fan must be somewhere in the chain of title. At the time
How do you solve a problem like Iran?
17 replies
Many pro-Israel people I know, both Jewish and non-Jewish, are deeply worried about Trump’s current Middle East positions. He’s marginalizing Israel in negotiations with Saudi Arabia, accepting on the government’s behalf a luxury plane from double-dealing Qatar, and handing money to the goons in Syria. At the same time, he’s seemingly freezing out Israel, to the great consternation of Israel and its supporters.
So, what gives? Having read Charles Lipson’s superb analysis of the problems in dealing with an almost nuclear Iran, and how Biden created this monster, I suspect that “what gives” may be Trump trying an out-of-the-box approach to isolating Iran long enough for his economic policies

Just two days ago, two Israeli Embassy staffers were murdered as they left the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, in what has been described as an antisemitic attack.
The alleged killer of Sarah Milgram and Yaron Lischinsky, who reportedly were "just days away" from becoming engaged, has been identified as Chicago native and Party for Socialism and Liberation member Elias Rodriguez, who allegedly yelled "free, free Palestine!" as he was being handcuffed, detained and led away by police officers.
The incendiary words Rodriguez was said to have used both that night

Eco-experiment that ‘blacked out entire country’: Spanish scientists ‘were experimenting with how far they could push renewable energy’ before country-wide chaos.
And how did that go? The BBC wrote at the time,
At least three people have died in Spain in an incident linked to a massive power cut that shut the country down on Monday, the Civil Guard has told the BBC.
The impacts were devastating. The Daily Mail with details of the blackout,
The outage, said to be one of the worst ever in Europe, started on the afternoon of April 28 and lasted through nightfall, affecting
During a blistering Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) was visibly floored after Energy Secretary Christopher Wright dropped a bombshell: the Department of Energy handed out a staggering $93 billion in loans and commitments during the final 76 days of the Biden administration, a figure that more than doubled the loan total from the previous 15 years combined.
Kennedy, in classic fashion, drilled in with precision. “The 76-day period you’re talking about, that’s the period between the time that President Trump was elected and President Biden left office. Is that right?”
“That is correct,” Wright confirmed.
Kennedy didn’t mince words
Netanyahu: Hamas Leader Mohammed Sinwar “Apparently” Killed in Recent Israeli Strike
Netanyahu: Gaza war to end when “Hamas lays down its arms … Gaza is totally disarmed; and we carry out the Trump plan.”

Israel has “apparently” eliminated Mohammed Sinwar, a senior Gaza-based terrorist and brother of former Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar, in a recent airstrike, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a press conference on Wednesday evening.
The Israeli Air Force (IAF), on May 4, targeted Mohammed and several other senior terrorists in a precision strike on an underground terror base located in Khan Younis, a Hamas stronghold in southern Gaza.
America isn't a democracy but a constitutional republic designed to limit majority rule and protect individual rights. This distortion enables narratives that label dissent as dangerous, especially in portraying Trump as a "threat to democracy" -- a claim pushed by institutions caught spreading falsehoods about him. What appears as consensus is actually assigned opinion enforced by media and political power, as "conspiracy theories used to silence dissent are proving to be true.
What follows is not just a list of lies -- it’s a pattern of systemic deception that reveals where the real threat lies.
The Concealment of President Biden’s Cognitive Decline: A Betrayal of Voters
The unhappiest concurrence

Judge James Ho is a member of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. He has filed an unhappy concurrence in AARP v. Trump. The Fifth Circuit panel is jumping through hoops detailed by the Supreme Court in a per curiam (no author specified) order on application for injunction here, with Justices Alito and Thomas dissenting. The per curiam opinion reads to me like the work of Chief Justice Roberts.
AARP appears to be a pseudonym for a member of Tren de Aragua. The real AARP has posted a statement clarifying that it is not a party to the litigation. AARP wants it known that it is
Democrats’ Confederacy of Dunces
7 replies
Three hundred years ago, the remarkable satirist Jonathan Swift wrote, “When a true Genius appears in the World, you may know him by this infallible Sign; that the Dunces are all in Confederacy against him.”
Now, you might not be President Trump’s biggest fan. Perhaps you are glad that he has returned to the White House but look forward to one of his capable lieutenants succeeding him in four years. But I would argue that never has a larger collection of absolute idiots assembled to oppose an American leader, and for that reason alone, Donald J. Trump is probably a genius. (And a very stable one at that!)
CNN host Jake Tapper has been under fire since announcing he was writing a book about President Joe Biden's cognitive decline and the extensive "cover-up" to convince American voters they were too dumb to see what was happening with their own two eyes. Many have pointed out that Tapper, his network, and the mainstream media in general were active participants in the scandal. They neglected to report on Biden's decline, allowed themselves to be cowed into submission by White House aides, and attacked anyone who suggested the president wasn't fit to serve, which he was not.

Former FBI Director James Comey doesn’t expect the Trump administration to take any further action against him over an Instagram post that some, including the president, viewed as a call to assassinate the commander-in-chief.
In his first public remarks since sharing an image of seashells arranged on a beach to form the numbers “86 47,” Comey told MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace he found it “hard to have regret” over the post that he still believes looks “totally innocent” — saying it was “crazy” that anyone would see it as a call for violence

Left-wing media very much wants President Donald Trump to have dementia. At first, they began peddling this narrative to distract from former President Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline. Now, they are likely using it for a similar reason. The Insider published a so-called “investigation” into Trump’s supposed cognitive issues during his second term. It enlisted several mental health professionals to support their narrative. Dr. Bandy Lee, formerly of Yale University, claimed the president is showing clear signs of early dementia. These signs include reduced vocabulary, incoherence, impulsivity, and “paraphasias,”
Spanish authorities were experimenting with how far they could push their reliance on renewable energy before the Iberian Peninsula was hit with a massive power outage last month, it has been suggested.
As people wait for more answers on what caused the power cut that disrupted tens of millions of lives across Spain and Portugal, several have questioned Spain's heavy reliance on renewable energy sources as it plans to phase out nuclear reactors.
Spain's socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has rejected such criticism, asking for patience while the government investigates the causes of the historic blackout.
There was a time, not so long ago, when climate scientist Michael Mann could bully critics into silence with the mere threat of a lawsuit. He was the face behind the infamous "hockey stick" graph, a man lauded by progressives, featured in Al Gore's documentary, and embraced by a media eager to label skeptics as dangerous deniers. But the courtroom, as it turns out, is no place for manufactured myths or moral grandstanding.
A Washington, D.C. court just handed Mann a bruising legal defeat. After more than a decade of litigation, he has been ordered to pay over $1 million in attorney's fees to the very people he accused of defamation:
According to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Iran is now capable of spinning up enough of its highly enriched uranium (HEU) from its current level of 60% to the 90% necessary to build a nuclear bomb, in “probably less than one week.”
The timeline for Israel to act against Iran's nuclear program has now compressed considerably. Coupled with the glacial pace of U.S. talks with Iran on its nuclear program, and the state of readiness of Israeli strike forces, some analysts have concluded that Israel is prepared to strike Iranian nuclear facilities in a matter of days.
The impasse in nuclear talks with Iran is "irreconcilable," according to the Israelis.

The father of the terror suspect accused of gunning down two soon-to-be-engaged Israeli Embassy staffers at the Capital Jewish Museum was honored by a far-left member of Congress with an invitation to President Trump’s joint address this past March, The Post has exclusively learned.
“Eric Rodriguez was our guest during the President’s Joint Speech to Congress, but we don’t know his family,” a spokesperson for Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García (D-Ill.) told The Post Thursday night.
In March, he hailed Rodriguez as “an outspoken advocate against attacks on veterans’ services and the rights of unionized federal employees.” “Eric represents the very best of our community
Barely a week into her tenure as Washington, DC’s top federal prosecutor, Jeanine Pirro faced an urgent test –overseeing the investigation into the murders of two Israeli embassy staffers outside the city’s Jewish museum. Pirro’s response to the young couples’ murder was under the microscope, as it was her first opportunity to enter the public eye no longer as a Fox News host but as a high-ranking government official leading the charge to bring justice after a public assassination. Her quick command over the investigation garnered high marks from Justice Department officials. Prosecutors who work for her felt cautiously encouraged.

A baby who was born with a rare genetic disorder that causes facial deformities was given a poor prognosis by doctors and abandoned by his birth parents. However, he got a second chance at life when he was adopted by a Christian family who supported him through surgeries, an autism diagnosis, brutal bullying, and countless battles for acceptance.
Today, that man is 47-year-old Dr. Francis Joel Smith of Denver, Colorado, who is a medical research scientist, public speaker, and advocate for others with the same diagnosis as his: Treacher Collins syndrome.
Michael Mann Owes NR and CEI $1 Million
6 replies
The longer Michael Mann maintains his shameful litigation over a blog post that appeared in NR over a decade ago, the more he loses.
A judge has now ordered Mann to pay $477,350.80 in legal fees to the Competitive Enterprise Institute and Rand Simberg. This comes on top of $530,820.21 that Mann has been ordered to pay National Review. It boggles the mind that, 13 years after launching a lawsuit he hoped would “ruin” NR, Mann now owes us and our friends more than $1 million, but we warned him not to go down this route in the first place.
