Dem Senators Now Fear Fallout of 'No Kings' Absurdity
Posted By: Dreadnought, 10/21/2025 12:13:43 AM
The "No Kings" weekend of absurdity has ended, and many of us are still pointing and laughing at videos of aging Boomer hippies and Gen Z nitwits, both of which groups are shrieking incoherently about "tyranny" when in a real tyranny they would not be allowed to shriek incoherently about "tyranny." A casual read through history reveals very clearly, after all, that real tyrants aren't really big on free speech. You can't expect any intellectual consistency from these people, after all. But now the raging of the nitwits has some Democrat Senators worried about holding the line in the ongoing Schumer Shutdown - worried, not about Republicans,

Number Two House Democrat Admits Families

Suffering Under Shutdown Create Bargaining Leverage 7 replies
Rep. Katherine Clark (D-CT), the number two ranking House Democrat, is admitting that allowing families to suffer under the shutdown is all about leverage.
“Shutdowns are terrible, and of course there will be families that are going to suffer,” she told Fox News Thursday. “We take that responsibility very seriously. But it is one of the few leverage times we have.”
She added: “It is an inflection point in this budget process where we have tried to get the Republicans to meet with us and prioritize the American people.” So there you have it. Even though Republicans have made clear

Dems About the Schumer Shutdown and Trump's Numbers 10 replies
The Democrats have been trying to blame President Donald Trump and the Republicans for the government shutdown.
The Dems were hoping that the "No Kings" protests would provide them with some ballast for their fight against Trump. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was hoping that he would appease the radical leftist base so he could hold onto his seat.
The problem with that? The ridiculous "No Kings" exercise is now over, and we still have no kings. All this did was expose how the Democrats were focused on something that isn't real, versus the real issue of opening the government and doing something for the American people.
Like many Americans, I watched with interest as the “No Kings” spectacle unfolded. It was rather like a box of Monty Python's chocolates. I had no idea what I was going to get, but I was pretty sure I wasn't going to like it much. In this, at least, I was not disappointed.
So, what, exactly, did this crunchy frog of a “No Kings” thing accomplish? We haven’t had any kings since the day we declared our independence. And before I had my coffee made this morning, I was deeply concerned, so I checked. Turns out, we still don’t.
The Democrats (and their socialist and Communist allies) mounted “no kings” protests yesterday, just as they did in July. The July protests accomplished absolutely nothing, and yesterday’s will be no different. The New York Times kept up a brave front, headlining “‘No More Trump!’: Protesters Denouncing the President Unite Across the Country.” But in fact, the protests were mostly the occasion for epic trolling.
We could consider this a supplement to yesterday’s Week In Pictures:
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — A San Antonio Church and residents of several northside neighborhoods were left to deal with damages left by “No Kings” related vandals in the aftermath of the protest in the Alamo City. The vandals targeted residential homes, traffic signs, highway overpasses, and one of the city’s largest churches.
At the Community Bible Church (CBC), where weekly attendance is estimated at over 15,000 worshipers, vandals left messages spray-painted on the church grounds and building that read, “Jesus wants TRUMP gone!” and “No King but God”. CBC Pastor Ed Newton posted images of the vandalism and offered commentary in an Instagram social media post on Saturday.
WASHINGTON - The United States announced Sunday another strike against what it called a drug-running boat, this time attacking an alleged Colombian leftist rebel vessel in an apparent expansion of a US military operation off the coasts of South America.
Word of the attack from Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth came as President Donald Trump said the United States is halting financial aid to Colombia and will announce tariffs against it on Monday.
The United States has had warships deployed in the Caribbean off Venezuela since August and has attacked at least six boats it said were running drugs toward the United States, killing at least 27 people so far.
The Gaza peace deal has rightly been characterized as tenuous at best — largely because Hamas seemingly wouldn't know honoring a commitment if it smacked the terrorist outfit upside the head. Speaking of which...
On Saturday, the U.S. State Department issued an urgent bulletin, warning of an imminent Hamas attack on the people of Gaza and also warning that the "United States and the other guarantors" would take steps to protect Gazans and uphold the "integrity of the ceasefire." Now, the IDF has indeed responded to multiple Hamas violations of the ceasefire.
An Israeli military official confirmed the strikes to Fox News on Sunday,
After a U.S.-led campaign, the United Nations has postponed a vote on a proposal to impose the world’s first global carbon tax on shipping, delaying the decision by one year.
The rule was expected to come up for a vote this week as part of the U.N. International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) "Net-Zero Framework." But a majority of member nations voted to defer it after failing to reach consensus amid U.S. opposition.
Backed by the European Union and Brazil, the plan seeks to raise billions from carriers that exceed new emissions limits, channeling the revenue toward climate adaptation and clean-fuel projects in developing nations.
Washington and Riyadh led the opposition.
NBC News will be terminating 150 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) employees who are responsible for "Black, Latino, Asian and LGBTQ+" coverage in the newsroom.
The Wrap, in an exclusive, reported that NBC News was firing its teams dedicated to issues affecting those communities.
NBC News executive vice president of editorial, Catherine Kim, announced the cuts to staff on the morning of Oct. 15. Kim claimed that the layoffs made things a “difficult day for a lot of us,” the Wrap reported.
The Wednesday newsroom massacre comes as NBC News splits from its sister news network, MSNBC.
The total reductions will cut about 7% of NBC News’ 2,000 newsroom staffers
President Trump revealed Friday that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has "offered everything" to persuade the United States to back off amid escalating American strikes on suspected drug trafficking boats.
Trump shocked reporters during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky when he was asked about Maduro's attempts to offer mediation. Not so much for the content of his response, but for how he delivered it.
The President offered an expletive-laced frank assessment of the dictator's attempts to get him and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to take their foot off the gas in disrupting narco-terrorists' operations.
A reporter questioned Trump regarding Maduro's overtures.
“It’s been reported, Mr. President
Rep. John James (R-Mich.) now holds the best position of any GOP candidate to potentially flip the governorship in Michigan from blue to red in the 2026 election, according to new polling data. If James actually wins next year, the state’s political landscape would shift seismically, providing further evidence that the country as a whole is shifting away from Democrat policies. It's a win that would bode well for other GOP and MAGA candidates running for other offices at various levels of government as well.
The Plymouth Union Public (PUP) Research survey shows James leading the general election field and crushing a crowded crop of candidates in the primary.

Left-wing Hollywood celebrity heads exploded this week as the President Donald Trump-led $250 million White House ballroom construction begins.
“Hitler had a large ball room/ reception hall built at the Old Reich Chancellery in Berlin This was part of a major renovation of the building after he became Chancellor. It was designed by Albert Speer and completed in 1939,” said actress Mia Farrow, kicking off what quickly became a conspiracy-filled rage fest from Trump’s famous foes.
“Trump assured us that our lovely White House would not be altered by the addition of his ballroom,” Farrow continued, misrepresenting what the president said. “Was he angered by magnitude of No Kings –
Judicial tyranny continues.
A federal judge recently ordered ICE agent arrests at courthouses.
US District Judge Jeffrey Cummings, a Biden appointee, barred ICE agents from arresting illegal aliens at Cook County, Illinois, courthouses if they don’t have a warrant.
Judge Cummings said the ICE agents can be arrested if they violate his court order.
The judge barred ICE agents from making “collateral arrests” – a term that describes the arrest of illegal aliens who happen to be discovered during the arrest of another alien for whom they have a warrant to take into custody.
Transgender Americans are preparing to leave the United States of America, believing that President Donald Trump is the “most anti-LGBTQ+ president in history.”
Vox reported that during Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, the rhetoric against “radical gender ideology” and “transgender insanity” grew “more hostile.”
The outlet noted, “A frequently-run Trump television ad claimed that ‘Kamala is for they/them. Trump is for you.’ And as his second term has progressed, Trump’s attacks on transgender rights have become increasingly virulent.” Katie Sosin, who reports on LGBTQ+ issues for The 19th, spoke to Vox about the Trump administration’s policies:
Former Biden White House Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called Trump White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt “deplorable” during an appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Tuesday.
“The View” asked Karine Jean-Pierre to react to a clip of Leavitt and a text exchange she had with a far-left Huffington Post ‘reporter.’
Karine Jean-Pierre echoed Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” insult and called Leavitt “deplorable.”
“Any advice for the current press secretary?” Sunny Hostin asked KJP.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is proposing the revival of a corporate tax that the Windy City eliminated over a decade ago that businesses are warning would cost the city jobs. Johnson is proposing a so-called "head tax" that would apply to companies with more than 100 employees and would levy a monthly $21 per employee on companies that meet the employment threshold. The amount of the tax would increase based on inflation, and would be assessed based on the number of employees who work in Chicago 50% or more of the time. The mayor sees it as a means of
In its Sunday episode of “60 Minutes,” the broadcast television network CBS misrepresented the facts in the civil immigration lawsuit brought against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) by Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who is separately charged with human smuggling in Tennessee by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The segment featured an interview of Erez Reuveni, who was fired from the DOJ earlier this year for allegedly failing to appropriately defend the DHS from the lawsuit filed by Abrego Garcia, conducted by “60 Minutes” reporter Scott Pelley

Karl Marx book alongside its fall women’s accessories 20 replies
Nothing screams “fall fashion” like a cozy midweight scarf complemented with a side of class struggle.
That’s the message from embattled retailer Target, who’s been caught pushing communist literature in fall fashion ad campaigns geared toward urban women of a certain age, The Post has learned.
This is happening at a time when the company can hardly afford any more culture war beefs.
Karl Marx’s political treatise “Capital” — beloved by radical leftists the world over — has been given a “landmark new translation” and was spotted nestled in Target’s carousel ads on Instagram. It is somewhat subversively being displayed smack in the middle of unrelated products
Why We Don’t Like The Democratic Party
18 replies
In response to last week’s editorial “None Dare Call It A Republic,” one reader said I&I prefers “the term republic over democracy because” we “like the Republican Party” and “don’t like the Democratic Party.” Therefore we refuse to use the word “Democratic” because it “sounds just like the word ‘democratic.’” We can’t say we like the Republican Party, but we can say we despise the Democratic Party. Read on and we’ll tell you why.
First, though, take a look at the reader’s full comment, found here. He calls us ignorant, which is fine – he’s entitled to his opinion. But his
Hunter Biden finally addressed the pardon in an interview with journalist Tommy Christopher and claimed Trump’s victory in November 2024 inspired his father, then–President Joe Biden, to pardon him the following month.
“Donald Trump went and changed everything,” Hunter Biden said. “And I don’t think that I need to make much of an argument about why it changed everything.”
If Trump had not won the election, Hunter Biden does not believe his father would have pardoned him. Instead, Hunter thinks he would have won in the appeals process.

It couldn’t have happened to a better person. The individual who was caught on camera yelling racist tropes at Virginia gubernatorial candidate Winsome Earle-Sears at a football game has lost his job.
The incident happened over the weekend when Earle-Sears attended a football game at James Madison University. A White leftist in the crowd named Scott Pogorelc began screaming at the candidate, telling her to “go back to Haiti” and calling her a “traitor.” [snip] it wasn’t enough for the guy to humiliate himself by failing to get his racist tropes right, he did it on camera,
California Governor Gavin Newsom has suffered a setback in early polling for the 2028 Democratic presidential race, with new surveys showing his support slipping. The latest Noble Predictive Insights poll, conducted between October 2-6, shows that among Democrats and independents Newsom is now trailing former Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2028 nomination, after leading her in August. (Snip) According to the poll, Harris is leading the 2028 Democratic field with support from 33 percent of Democrats and 27 percent of Independents. Governor Newsom trailed well behind, earning 13 percent among Democrats and just 3 percent among Independents, while 17
Liberals tell us 1) that Charlie Kirk had it coming, but 2) hardly any liberals approved of his murder. Both of those assertions are false. At City Journal, the Manhattan Institute’s Christina Buttons reminds us of some basic facts. Copious links are omitted:
When the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA was assassinated last month, leaders in both parties condemned the attack, and many mourned the husband and father of two. But some progressives on social media had a different reaction: they rationalized, mocked, and even celebrated the killing.
The scale of this reaction was not trivial. An online database logged over 63,000 user-submitted posts that cheered Kirk’s death, though the site
