The Hammerstein Ballroom in midtown Manhattan hums with the sound of walkers, canes, and Medicare-approved stability sneakers shuffling on the brocade carpet. Several busloads worth of gray-haired radicals are milling about the historic auditorium. Some have shelled out thousands of dollars to be here for a chance to see their favorite MSNBC personalities denounce Donald Trump in person. Liquor drinks are extra. The exorbitantly priced bar opens at 10:30 a.m. We're going to need it. "MSNBC Live '25: This Is Who We Are" is the failing left-wing network's second live offering in as many years. Last year's event was largely focused on how to stop Trump from winning the election

Back around 2006-2007 (operating from memory here( I was recovering from back surgery 0 lubar fusion - don't do it, friends!- and Don Imus watching was a guilty pleasure. Then Imus insulted the Rutgers girls basketball team, was fired, and Dan Abrams took over the programming of MSNBC. I watched the noon to six p.m. line up every day. It was so bad, it was deliciously good. I don't remember all of the stars in that line up, but do remember that Woody Allen's son, new to radio, and with an unearned radio excellence award in his hand, came on at noon and stared at the camera. And somewhere in the m ix were Joy Reid, babbling confusedly like Kamala';s voice coach, Toure, a one named man of mystery, and for the icing on the cake, Reverend Al Sharpton, engaged in mortal combat with the teleprompter. And Queen Rachel Maddow looking down at her audience. There were others, but I can't remember who they were. It took some special skills for Dan Abrams to put together that line up. I will never forget them.

It's really funny to see the media circling the bowl and trying to maintain how special they are. It's even better to see their supporters eating the thin gruel and thinking it delicious. MSNBC was cut out of the corporate sale because everyone knows they are losers on their way out. Since they have no appeal to the primary demographic, advertising dollars will be drying up and they will soon be extinct. Hopefully they will take all their liberal dinosaur talent with them.

OMG! Only a miniscule 4 to 6 thousand 24- to 54-year-olds, advertisers favorite demographic, watch MSNB-sleeze on a given day? What business would even bother to support this programming? It would be an anti-business expense - in truth a TAXABLE political contribution NOT a valid business expense.

This trend of aged woke Trump haters has caught me by surprise. Perhaps I wasn’t paying attention. FOX commented several times about the gray-headed crowds at the “No Kings” foolishness and the reporting in this article repeatedly returns to comment on the age of the attendees at the MSNBC event. Being a Vietnam era survivor myself (never a liberal), I can’t understand how maturity and experience has failed to mellow the hippie population to infuse some degree of common sense. “There’s no fool like an old fool” rings true here.

FTA:"The exorbitantly priced bar opens at 10:30 a.m" 10:30 AM? I suppose that's the best time of day for those who may be napping by noon (I wonder when joe tippled) or for those who have coupons for the Early Bird Special. For MSNBC's crowd we'll have to change the old saying to "Hey! It's gotta be 10:30 AM somewhere!!"

the White House

Democrats and their allies in the regime media are so desperate to lay a glove on an ascendant President Trump they are actually accusing him (falsely, obviously) of “destroying” the White House when everyone knows that all he’s doing is adding a $250 million ballroom that won’t cost taxpayers a single penny. Everything lunatics on the left have hurled to try to kill Trump as a political force (and literally) has failed. They tried to frame him as a Russian spy. They twice impeached him over nonsense. They tried to throw him in prison for life and bankrupt his business. They smeared him as racist. Finally, on two separate occasions, they
Virginia’s obscene spectacle of a Democrat
‘mom’ candidate who isn’t family friendly

Abigail Spanberger, the Virginia Democrat gubernatorial candidate, really wants voters to know she has three daughters, and that should scare every Virginia mother and father straight to the polls. The girl mom crosses her heart that she’ll put families first, even though she refuses to pull her endorsement from attorney general candidate Jay Jones, who dreamed of putting bullets in a former Virginia House speaker and watching his children die. Maybe she isn’t talking about putting the speaker’s family first. And even if Virginia kids have been collateral damage as a result of the irresponsible policies she supports — she definitely isn’t talking about putting those families first.

While future guests of the White House will be having a ball in its forthcoming ballroom, for which demolition began on Monday, the massive renovation isn’t the first of its scale at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Since its debut in 1800, and reconstruction in 1817, the presidential residence has seen a number of major facelifts. President Trump’s, of course, is the most recent — and will cost a grand $250 million.

Mamdani, running to be the city’s first Muslim mayor, had already visited a great many mosques, some, like the Islamic Society of Bay Ridge, already notorious for its support for Hamas and cursing Christians and Jews, but had saved the worst mosque for last. The progressive candidate openly embraced an imam who not only supported terrorism, but had called for the full application of Islamic Sharia law

The State Department signed a Safe Third Country agreement with Belize, according to a Monday announcement from the Central American country’s government. While more details are to be announced, the deal will allow asylum seekers in the U.S. — many of whom entered unlawfully — to resettle in Belize and pursue their cases there.

In the letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi obtained by The Federalist, Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, argued that “Brennan made numerous willfully and intentionally false statements of material fact contradicted by the record established by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) and the CIA.”

The Trump administration says it is cancelling student debt for millions of borrowers — a pivot from its previous moves to block some loan forgiveness plans. In an agreement with the American Federation of Teachers, the White House will again start processing student loan forgiveness for eligible borrowers in two income-driven repayment plans – Income-Contingent Repayment and Pay as You Earn – until they expire. President Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” is slated to phase out those two programs by July 1, 2028. They have over 2.5 million enrollees total, a higher ed expert estimated.

Can you imagine letting your hate consume you so much that you would shout something racist at a politician you don’t agree with — and potentially embarrass your son at his football game? That didn’t bother Scott Pogorelc. At the James Madison University football game on Saturday, Pogorelc shouted at Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R-Va.), who is the GOP nominee in Virginia’s race for governor, to “Go back to Haiti” and called her a “traitor.” And someone caught the racist dolt on camera. Classy, amirite? For the record, Earle-Sears was born in Jamaica, not Haiti, and she’s an American citizen.

Indicted former FBI Director James Comey is seeking to have his criminal case dismissed on the grounds that he is the victim of selective prosecution because of President Trump’s disdain for him. Comey’s defense team filed a motion to dismiss Tuesday, arguing that the Trump administration’s false statements case is an unconstitutional abuse of power by the Trump administration. “Ample objective evidence—much of which comes directly from government officials’ own public statements and admissions—establishes that the government’s animus toward Mr. Comey led directly to this vindictive and selective prosecution,” Comey’s attorneys said in court papers. “The proper remedy for the government’s constitutional violations is a dismissal with prejudice.
