Democrats Losing Registration Race
in All 30 States that Track Party Affiliation
— 4.5 Million-Voter Swing Toward GOP
Posted By: Mercedes44, 8/20/2025 8:36:24 PM
The Democrat Party is hemorrhaging support with no end in sight, according to a shocking analysis of new voter registrations. Fueled by President Donald Trump’s gains among men, younger voters, and Latinos in 2024, more new voters nationwide chose to be Republicans than Democrats for the first time since 2018, according to a report from the New York Times which relies on voter registration data compiled by L2, a nonpartisan data firm. Perhaps more troubling for Democrats, the data suggests Democrat Party activists can no longer rely on the party’s tried-and-true methods to reverse the trend, leaving panicked party leaders and pundits unsure how to resurrect the party’s electoral prospects.

over Biden interview 11 replies
Former CBS News investigative reporter Catherine Herridge called out the network after a report revealed that Shari Redstone expressed concerns that “60 Minutes” may have downplayed President Biden’s mental decline during a sitdown in 2023.
Herridge — who was fired last year as part of a wider cost-cutting purge by parent company Paramount ahead of its $8 billion merger with Skydance — slammed CBS News for its lack of “media transparency” after Redstone said the Biden interview played a part in her decision to settle with President Trump.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) called up 60,000 reservists for duty in the upcoming assault on Gaza City, the last stronghold of Hamas terrorists, over a six-month period to complete the conquest of the territory. In a statement Wednesday, the IDF said:
As part of the preparations for the next phase of Operation “Gideon’s Chariots”, approximately 60,000 reserve orders were issued this morning. In additionreservists who have already been called up will receive a notice extending their current orders.
President Donald Trump’s United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin screening legal immigrants seeking to adjust their immigration status in the United States for anti-American views, including factors such as ties to terrorist ideologies. America’s benefits should not be given to those who despise the country and promote anti-American ideologies,” USCIS spokesman Matthew Tragesser said: The policy update is outlined in a USCIS guidance manual. Adjudicators are instructed to take an immigrant’s past views and activities into account when deciding whether they are eligible for certain immigration
It was official on Monday as the runaway Texas Democrats who fled to break quorum finally caved and returned to the Texas Capitol.
You can see them coming in, including Texas state representative Gene Wu. According to the local report, they had a quorum, although there are at least two Democrats who had not yet returned.
Here's one of the Democrats who returned, Chris Turner, who claimed they returned "victorious" because they've started a "conversation" and California Democrats might pass maps that would help Democrats.
Charter schools deliver results for kids in the parts of New York City where “the system” has given up: It’s just obscene that supposed progressives like Zohran Mamdani keep selling out the charter sector to win the support of privileged special interests.
The Post reports today on the stunning difference in The Bronx: Students at public charter schools excel on state K-8 reading and math exams, in stark contrast to the sad scores at Department of Education schools.
Counting all 99 Bronx charters, 68.6% of students passed the reading exams in grades 3 to 8, vs. 43.6% in Bronx traditional public schools — a 25-point difference.

Why it’s coveted by both Russia and Ukraine 6 replies
Russia’s illegal seizure of the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine exactly 11 years ago on March 18, 2014, was quick and bloodless, but it sent Moscow’s relations with the West into a downward spiral unseen since the Cold War.
It also paved the way for Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, during which Moscow annexed more land from the war-torn country.
A look at the diamond-shaped peninsula in the Black Sea, coveted by both Russia and Ukraine for its naval bases and beaches: Why is Crimea important?
Crimea’s unique location makes it a strategically important asset, and Russia has spent centuries fighting for it.
None of these countries... [France, Canada, Australia, the UK] has demanded that the Palestinian Authority halt its human rights violations against its own people. Ending financial and administrative corruption and excluding Hamas from governance is pointless as long as the PA continues to crack down on its political rivals and impose severe restrictions on freedom of speech.
Last month, Palestinian Authority security officer Ammar Saeed Abu Thahri reportedly died while in PA custody. It remains unclear why Abu Thahri was arrested by PA security forces in the first place.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has outdone herself.
At a time when violent crime, illegal immigration, and public safety dominate national concerns, the governor of New York decided her top priority was granting clemency to an illegal immigrant with a manslaughter conviction. Yes, you read that correctly.
Hochul pardoned Somchith Vatthanavong, a 52-year-old illegal immigrant who was convicted as a teenager of killing a man in a Brooklyn pool hall. By offering him a pardon, Hochul effectively cleared the path for him to stay in the United States and avoid deportation.
Vatthanavong shot and killed a man outside that pool hall in 1990. He called it self-defense.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected in Washington, D.C. Monday, along with a host of European leaders to back him up.
As we've reported, a veritable who's who of Continental elites are expected to make their appearance: But President Donald Trump—fresh off his Alaskan summit with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin—had a message for the Ukrainian president Sunday night in advance of the high-stakes meetings to hopefully end the devastating Russo-Ukrainian war: It’s not 100 percent clear what the president means by this message, but it reminds me of a post by RedState’s Bonchie, which I’ve used before because it perfectly encapsulates the feckless response by our leaders in yonder days:

Joe Biden and company told us it couldn’t be done—the border couldn’t be fixed without complex new legislation and gobs of money.
Turns out that wasn’t true; all we needed was a new president. One who was willing to take command of the situation and enforce the laws already on the books. That president is Donald Trump, and in his second (non-consecutive) term, he has virtually shut down the southern border after Biden ushered in millions of illegal aliens with his “let them all come in” policy.
But it’s not just ICE repatriations and a tight border that are at play here: as Trump promised on the campaign trail,
Notorious anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil showed up in NYC Saturday, quoting an alleged Hamas terrorist during a large protest in front of the New York Public Library.
Khalil, 30, stood on the library steps and gave a seven minute speech in which he talked about Anas al-Sharif, an Al Jazeera correspondent who was killed during an Israeli missile strike last week.
Israel has said al-Sharif was running a Hamas terrorist cell, which he and Al Jazeera repeatedly denied.
Protestors march carrying Palestinian flags and signs that read "Stand with Gaza" and "Stop Starving Gaza".
Khalil recalled al-Sharif’s final words and proclaimed to the crowd of roughly 2,000 —

Carnival Cruise ship brawl breaks out

Fried and furious. Disturbing footage captured the moment a massive melee broke out on a Carnival Cruise ship among fuming passengers seemingly upset over “chicken tenders.” The violence among about two dozen brawlers erupted aboard the Sunshine at about 2 a.m. Monday — the last day of its voyage — as the ship was heading back to Miami, according to a passenger who filmed the mayhem.
Cracker Barrel has unveiled its first major rebrand in nearly 50 years, swapping out its old-fashioned logo and rustic interiors for a sleeker, more modern look. The company says the redesign honors its history while refreshing the brand for the future. But online, MAGA supporters are in full meltdown mode, accusing the chain of “going woke” and blaming its CEO for betraying the brand’s values.The company said in a press release that the new logo is “now rooted even more closely to the iconic barrel shape and word mark that started it all.”
The National Park Service reportedly fired a trans Yosemite National Park ranger who hung a transgender pride flag across the park’s El Capitan rock formation in California earlier this year. Shannon "SJ" Joslin, 35, wrote an Instagram post on Monday claiming to have been fired from the park "for practicing my First Amendment right" after hanging the 55-foot by 35-foot flag across Yosemite’s iconic rock destination in May. Joslin, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, claimed to have raised the flag while off-duty and as a private citizen. "I was fired by the temporary Deputy Superintendent for ‘failing to
Ohio's National Guard shouldn't be in D.C.

If any governor should know the risks of sending the National Guard to police an American city, it should be the governor of Ohio. Everyone in Ohio knows what happened on May 4, 1970, when National Guard troops opened fire on anti-war protesters at Kent State University. Four protesters were killed and nine others wounded, including one who was paralyzed from the waist down. [Snip] He’s sending them to police American civilians and further Trump’s political agenda, which includes normalizing the deployment of military troops on the streets of American communities even when local leaders don’t want them there.
Are James Comey's sudden babblings about how pop-tart singer Taylor Swift was his guide to life a sign that he knows he's legally up to his neck in alligators? Or is he just a weirdo? Seems both arguments have some truth. ack In case you haven't seen it, he wrote this sort of thing on his Substack, via GatewayPundit:
Hey, everybody. Welcome back to my Substack. Last week’s cold turns out to have been COVID—quite a flashback.
A suspect who allegedly attacked and bit a downtown Minneapolis teen restaurant worker as he took out the garbage last month will apparently not be charged, despite the young worker suffering several deep bite wounds. (Snip)
Nineteen-year-old Jezarius Sheldon said he was taking out the trash when a man screamed and cursed at him and then rushed at him (snip)
That’s when Sheldon says his response turned into self-defense, and he began utilizing his jiu-jitsu skills and his experience as a high school wrestler. (snip) Hennepin County Attorney’s Office (HCAO) declined to charge Brown because “the victim knew how to fight.”
Is The U.K. On The Verge Of Civil War?

It might be easy to dismiss the growing unrest in Britain, where crowds of fed-up and violently angry citizens are suddenly taking to the streets to end what they see as the tyranny of woke multiculturalism and horribly failed immigration policies. But right now, it looks as if the country could be nearing some kind of national breakdown or split, one with major global ramifications.
Are we going a little too far in seeing a possible breakup or civil war? Not at all. The social pressures from a near non-stop influx of immigrants, legal and illegal, have been building for
President Donald Trump has instructed legal experts to review “woke” installations in museums nationwide.
According to an Aug. 19 post on Truth Social, the president believes that museums are the “last remaining segment of ‘WOKE,’” and he wants to address the issue the same way his administration has treated colleges and universities.
Trump pointed specifically to a Washington, D.C., icon as a demonstration of the issue, saying, “The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been—Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future.”
Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Masino has responded to the backlash against the company's bizarre woke rebrand, and it's as bad as you might imagine.[snip] When asked why Cracker Barrel was making all these changes, Masino's corporate-speak didn't fail with her reply that "Cracker Barrel needs to feel like the Cracker Barrel for today and for tomorrow." Strahan then asked the CEO about how the new look has prompted numerous videos on social media slamming it, and she just brushed it off. "Honestly, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive that people like what we are doing," Masino responded.
Like many businesses, Bed, Bath & Beyond is fleeing California.
Unlike most, however, it's not slinking out quietly. It's letting the world know why it got the hell out of Dodge.
In a publicly issued statement, its executive chairman, Marcus Lemonis, wrote:
We will not open or operate retail stores in California.
This decision isn’t about politics — it’s about reality. California has created one of the most overregulated, expensive, and risky environments for businesses in America. It’s a system that makes it harder to employ people, harder to keep doors open, and harder to deliver value to customers.

NY appeals court 18 replies
A New York appeals court Thursday threw out the massive $464 million judgment dealt to President Trump after he was found liable at a civil trial for business fraud.
The Appellate Division, First Department overturned the whopping fine in the case in which Trump, 78, was found to have fraudulently inflated his net worth by billions of dollars over a decade to get better loan and insurance terms.
Trump would have had to pay a total of more than $500 million, including more than $100 million in interest, had the February 2024 ruling from Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron been upheld.
The appeal court’s decision follows a theatric 11-week trial

Everything is caused or not caused by climate change. It is the inevitable, never-changing source of blame for any societal ill, real or imagined, but largely imagined. Rain? Climate change. No rain?

What?! Dogs?! Dogs, as MPR News explains: (X) "People over-assign impact to actually pretty low-impact actions such as recycling, and underestimate the actual carbon impact of behaviors much more carbon intensive, like flying or eating meat," said Madalina Vlasceanu, report co-author and professor of environmental social sciences at Stanford University.
