Liberal Analyst Warns Dems: So What? Big Deal
Posted By: Dreadnought, 11/7/2025 12:54:45 AM
Democrats have had a pretty satisfying week, and for good reason. Republicans lost across the board on Tuesday, and didn't just lose but got thumped. While these losses all took place in blue states -- except some local races in Pennsylvania and Georgia, which are still concerning -- it's the scope of the losses that looks grim for the GOP. My pal Cam Edwards pushed back passionately in our VIP Gold chat yesterday at Republicans offering excuses for losses in Virginia especially, where a dozen state legislative seats flipped to Democrats, and warns that the GOP

President Donald Trump celebrated the news of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) upcoming retirement, calling the nearing end to her long political career a “great thing for America.”
Pelosi, 85, announced that she will not run for re-election at the end of her twentieth congressional term in January 2027 on Thursday morning, saying, “I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative as we go forward.”
“The retirement of Nancy Pelosi is a great thing for America,” Trump told Fox News’s Peter Doocy after the news broke: “She was evil, corrupt, and only focused on bad things for our country.

Congratulations, Democrats, on your 2025 rebranding into the Marxist Palestinian Party. Five stars. No notes.
Just minutes after election results confirmed Zohran Mamdani would become New York City's next mayor, vandals tagged the Magen David Yeshiva in Brooklyn with swastikas. The school is part of Sephardic Jewish community that overwhelmingly voted for Andrew Cuomo, JTA notes, along with Mamdani's reaction:
“This is a disgusting and heartbreaking act of antisemitism, and it has no place in our beautiful city,” wrote Mamdani in a post on X. “As Mayor, I will always stand steadfast with our Jewish neighbors
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals issued a stunning decision on Thursday, vacating a lower court's ruling that denied President Donald Trump's efforts to remove the New York criminal case against him from state court to federal court.
Buckle up because I'm about to run through the procedural history here: As we all know, Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in New York state court in May of 2024. This was the case brought by Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg, alleging that Trump orchestrated an illegal scheme to influence the 2016 presidential election by directing his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, to pay $130,000 to Stormy Daniels,
DETROIT — Ford Motor
is reportedly considering ending production of its all-electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck amid mounting losses and more challenging market conditions for EVs.
The Wall Street Journal first reported the talks Thursday, adding they are ongoing and nothing has been finalized. A source familiar with Ford’s product strategy confirmed to CNBC that the company has been evaluating its future EVs amid the company’s losses and changing market conditions.
“What I can say is that F-150 Lightning is the best-selling electric pickup truck in the U.S. — despite new competition from CyberTruck, Chevy, GMC, Hummer and Rivian — and delivered record sales
Two U.S. Air Force heavy bombers have been tracked Thursday flying near the Venezuelan coast in what appeared to be a show of force linked to President Donald Trump’s latest regional pressure campaign.
Both aircraft are conventionally armed Boeing B‑52H Stratofortress models, according to publicly available flight data on the website Flightradar24. The planes were flying under the call signs TITO41 and TITO42.
The sorties are the latest in what the Air Force is calling "bomber attack demonstrations" in the Caribbean region. Last month, three groups of B-52H and B-1B Lancers flew similar publicly visible missions to within tens of miles of Venezuela's coast.
Tesla
said shareholders voted in favor of CEO Elon Musk’s almost $1 trillion pay plan, with 75% support among voting shares.
Board members recommended shareholders approve the pay plan, which they introduced in September. Top proxy advisors Glass Lewis and ISS recommended voting against it. Results of the vote were announced on Thursday at the company’s annual shareholders meeting in Austin, Texas. A separate proposal for investors calls for Tesla to be able to invest in xAI, Musk’s artificial intelligence startup created to compete with OpenAI. Tesla said that more votes were in favor than against but results are so far inconclusive.
The Supreme Court on Thursday reinstated the Trump administration’s mandate that passports must identify individuals by their biological sex.
The High Court paused a lower court’s ruling that blocked the passport policy from being implemented while it is adjudicated in the courts.
The policy is born out of President Trump’s day one executive order that requires the federal government to only recognize two sexes. The order also declares that sex is not changeable.
The Cyclone is the name of the iconic wooden roller coaster in Coney Island that has been there for almost 100 years. Like all roller-coasters, it lifts riders to a steep point and then lets them drop just as steeply and race around the track for a few moments of excitement.
Today, Ross Douthat argues that Zohran Mamdani has probably peaked, like a rider of the Cyclone it's probably all downhill from here.
It’s official: Zohran Mamdani has been elected mayor of New York City, raising the flag of the far left over Gotham. And if you believe the hype or the fears of his critics, then the 34-year-old Ugandan-born Muslim
CA GOP sues Newsom over Prop. 50, claims

Latinos illegally favored in gerrymandered districts 9 replies
The California Republican Party filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday challenging the state’s new congressional district maps, alleging Democrats illegally used race as the primary factor in redrawing boundaries to favor Latino voters.
The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, seeks to invalidate Proposition 50, which voters approved on Tuesday to implement legislature-drawn maps for the 2026, 2028 and 2030 elections. The lawsuit names both officials in their official capacities as defendants responsible for implementing the challenged maps.
Supreme Court justices on Wednesday morning expressed skepticism about the legality of aggressive tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump against most of the world's nations.
Conservative and liberal justices sharply questioned Solicitor General D. John Sauer on the Trump administration's method for enacting the tariffs, which critics say infringes on the power of Congress to tax. Lower federal courts have ruled that Trump lacked the legal authority he cited under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose the so-called reciprocal tariffs on imports from many U.S. trading partners, and fentanyl tariffs on products from Canada, China and Mexico.
Pedestrians and a cyclist were deliberately run down by a motorist said by police to have cried well-worn war cry “Allahu Akhbar”, with a sovereigntist political activist of the National Rally among those now in critical condition.
What observers have called an “Islamist” or “Jihadist” attack, the kind long known in French cities, has struck ‘La France Profonde’, or deep France, with at least ten injured by a man driving a car into members of the public on a picturesque island best known for its fishing community and slow pace of life.
10 people were injured on Wednesday morning on the Île d’Oléron

During Wednesday’s jubilations for Democratic victories across the board the night prior, MSNBC’s Katy Tur claimed New York City’s wealthiest won’t leave because of the immense amount of culture on offer. Her guests also supported the idea that electing Zohran Mamdani (D) won’t scare off the one percent and subsequently bankrupt the city.
When asked if it was insane for a socialist to be placed in charge of the “capitalist capital of the world,” former Biden adviser Jared Bernstein defended the mayor-elect:
Look, there is a long and mistaken view that what's good for Main Street, or should I say what's good for Elmhurst or Brooklyn Heights, is bad for Wall Street.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Thursday she would not seek another term in Congress in 2026.
The first and only female speaker of the House, Pelosi, 85, has been a fixture within the halls of Capitol Hill since 1987. She is the second-highest elected female official in US history, behind former Vice President Kamala Harris.
I did not vote for Zohran Mamdani.
Call me crazy — but a socialist who, until five minutes ago, was gleefully tweeting to defund the police and who refuses to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” is not my ideal steward for this glittering center of progress.
On social media, there’s a relentless schadenfreude chorus of “You deserve what you vote for” from out-of-towners who don’t seem to understand that massive swathes of New Yorkers did not, in fact, vote for Mamdani.
But that doesn’t mean I’m going anywhere.
There's an iron law of climate change: if something brings human beings joy, it must be destroying the planet.
Could it be that happiness is the real enemy of climate cultists? Are they really so unhappy that they want everybody so unhappy that they will queue up for the suicide pods that liberals are so excited to roll out? (Snip) Now you have to give the Associated Press SOME credit for doing a deep dive into the subject of cats and dogs. After much research, they discovered that they have to eat, and as we know, the production of food is a bad thing. That's why European governments

Burger Kings are among the many cash-heavy businesses around the US grappling with the phaseout of the penny — with one group of the fast-food joints reportedly hoarding the coins by the box since President Trump ordered the Treasury Department to stop minting them earlier this year.
Businessman Gary Andrzejewski told The Wall Street Journal that the Burger Kings he operates in Baltimore have stockpiled 30 boxes of pennies so far.
“I don’t think anyone has any idea of what they are doing right now,” he was quoted as saying. He said since his armored car service stopped dropping off pennies to his Baltimore stores, he has saved up
Someone point this out to the "Qu**rs for Palestine" crowd: In Dearborn, Michigan, two 20-year-old men are under arrest for allegedly plotting a mass-shooting attack on LGBTQ+ bars in the area; they had obtained weapons, practiced with those weapons, and scouted targets. It's a matter of luck and sharp police work that they were caught before committing an atrocity.
Two 20-year-old men who had acquired high-powered weapons and practiced at gun ranges were scouting LGBTQ+ bars in suburban Detroit in September for a possible Halloween attack, authorities said Monday in filing terrorism-related charges.
Here's the onion:

How Mamdani Won New York
11 replies
Zohran Mamadani’s stunning victory as the newly elected mayor of New York was salt poured in the open wound of an even more titanic blue wave that swept aside any hopes that the nation had turned back to traditional sanity. He’s an old-school communist who made no effort to cloak his Marxist bona fides behind the charade of democratic socialism, and secured a victory that we could see coming from a mile away.
It's a turning point for the nation as a disciple of the deadliest ideology the modern world has ever known is empowered to beset this terror upon Americans [snip].
Which begs the question, how did he do it?
Greetings, Dear Reader,
As usual, they’re all wrong and I’m right.
How can we interpret the two conflagrations in our midst?
Let’s get into it.
THE PIED PIPER OF BUSHWICK
There are a couple of fires right now for conservatives. To our front, the Heritage Foundation is in the midst of a generational struggle session over allegiance to Israel.
While I think the reckoning is worthwhile and ultimately inevitable – especially considering future American conservatives are not apt to carry Jerusalem’s burden – the one to our rear is much more immediate and consequential.
The story we’re hearing from the left (and the right) about Mamdani’s win in New York City is pure mythology.

While Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has gotten the lion’s share of the media attention these last several weeks, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg quietly sailed through his reelection bid, securing more than 70% of the vote.
Bragg’s win reflects a bucking of what some might have been tempted to call a national trend of so-called “progressive” prosecutors around the country being made to suffer the electoral consequences of going soft on crime.
Recent examples include LA’s George Gascón, Oakland’s Pamela Price, San Francisco’s Chesa Boudin, and Athens, Ga.’s Deborah Gonzalez, defeated in the wake of Laken Riley’s murder.
“And so it begins!” Donald Trump’s dramatic, four-word salvo on Truth Social just before midnight Tuesday means he knows the honeymoon is over.
After thumping wins by radical Democrats — a tautology now, of course — the battle lines are clear. The president knows he has just one year until the midterms to fireproof his agenda and safeguard future elections against Democratic fraud. That’s why he wants to end the filibuster. The 60-vote Senate threshold is strangling Republican priorities and is allowing Democrats to shut down the government for the fifth week while blaming Trump.
Yet too many Senate Republicans don’t know what time it is.
If Republicans had any hopes of scoring surprise election victories on Tuesday, they were absolutely crushed. The loss was sweeping.
In New Jersey and Virginia, the Republican candidates did worse than Donald Trump just one year ago. And in Virginia, Democrats picked up at least 10 seats in the state legislature. New York elected its most radical mayor in its history. Californians voted by an almost 3-to-1 margin to redraw the state’s districts to squeeze out five more seats for Democrats.
All of these elections had one thing in common – they were akin to a primal scream about President Donald Trump.
In the days prior to news breaking about arrests being made concerning a National Basketball Association (NBA) cheating scandal, an interesting study was published by Oxford University’s Public Opinion Quarterly. Titled “To Report or Not to Report? A Qualitative Analysis of Journalists’ Perspectives on Harm to Public Opinion,” its abstract noted this:
Journalists face intricate decisions regarding what to publish, especially when problematic content may impact public opinion in a way that could fuel hate and/or undermine democratic attitudes.
Standing out in the study is the finding that “journalists who do not publish problematic content do so because they expect to negatively impact public opinion, in particular democratic attitudes,
