Fraud accusations show America dodged
a disastrous Tim Walz

As soon as Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her vice presidential nominee in 2024, I gagged and shook my head. I grew up in Minnesota and had a lovely childhood there. It's filled with kind, hardworking people. Beautiful lakes dot the land, and winter can be magical (though long). It's still ranked one of the healthiest states to live in. But I wouldn't live there now, even if Walz himself paid me millions to move back to the North Star State and personally escorted me

The Filibuster Must Be Euthanized Now
7 replies
It should be obvious even to the most obtuse Republican in the Senate that the Democrats will eventually regain another governing trifecta in Washington and will shortly thereafter nuke the legislative filibuster. They have pledged to do so in order to pass several pieces of controversial legislation, and would have done it already had it not been for West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin and Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema. Consequently, Senate Republicans should “nuke” the filibuster themselves if the Democrats attempt to shut down the government again next January 30, when the recently passed partial funding bill expires.
The Epstein Files Are Clogged With Democrats
10 replies
Breaking news: The sun rose in the east today.
In an equally predictable development, Democrats screamed at Republicans for allegedly doing what Democrats actively perpetrate. This is psychological projection: pinning one’s flaws on others.
Classic example: A morbidly obese man wolfs down his third after-dinner milkshake and screams at a physical trainer nibbling a salad: “Put down the fork, you cow!”
The Marjorie Taylor Greene New Deal
10 replies
Since Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) first arrived in Congress five years ago, she has been portrayed by the Washington press corps as a comic figure. They routinely mocked her for questioning mask mandates and accused her of spreading QAnon conspiracy theories. During recent weeks, after her falling out with President Trump over the fabled Epstein files, the oracles of the corporate “news” media have had an epiphany concerning Greene’s importance to the GOP. Following her announcement last Friday evening that she will resign from the House of Representatives effective January 5, they discovered she is an important political figure .
Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews appeared on CNN News Central on Tuesday afternoon to hawk his latest book worshiping the Kennedys, but the appearance turned into an embarrassing outing as two of his broad proclamations about contemporary politics turned out to be wildly false. Between claiming the Senate was going to stymie the release of the Epstein files and suggesting the Washington Post never criticized the Saudi crown price visiting the White House, Matthews’ assertions were blown up in his face by CNN journalists.
In the end, it turns out that radical transparency for a sex-trafficking ring doesn't actually look all that controversial. Only one member of the House of Representatives voted against a bill forcing the release of all documentation in the Jeffrey Epstein investigations. The bill will now go to the Senate after passing on a 427-1 vote:(Snip)After months of anticipation, the House of Representatives on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a bill ordering the release of the Justice Department's files on late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
It passed 427-1 -- with GOP Rep. Clay Higgins as the only vote against the measure.
SCOTUS Must Stop Mail-In Voting Madness
10 replies
One of the suppurating sores that still bedevil our body politic in the aftermath of COVID-19 is the ongoing abuse of mail-in voting. Absentee ballots have long been available to a small number of voters, of course. But, during the pandemic, many states used public safety as a pretext to dramatically expand eligibility for mail-in voting and to extend the deadlines for receiving these ballots. (snip) This inevitably creates concerns about election integrity. Consequently, it was only a matter of time before the U.S. Supreme Court would be required to decide if post-election vote counting violates federal law.
The NYPD Prepares for a Mamdani Mayoralty
10 replies
The New York City Police Department has to be feeling cursed these days. Having barely recovered from the dark years of Bill de Blasio and still emerging from the chaos of the Eric Adams era, the NYPD now faces the daunting prospect of reporting to democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani. But don’t bet against the men and women in blue. They are remarkably resilient—and they may have a secret weapon in their experienced and savvy commissioner, Jessica Tisch.
The NYPD had a notoriously fractious relationship with de Blasio
Last week, New York City’s Department of Education announced the latest enrollment numbers for the city’s public schools. Another year of declines confirms an unsustainable trajectory—and highlights the challenge for newly elected mayor Zohran Mamdani.
For the 2025–26 school year, NYCDOE reported 793,300 students enrolled in K-12 grades. That’s down 2.3 percent from the previous year and nearly 10 percent since 2020. DOE data also reveal that 112 of the city’s public schools have fewer than 150 students, up from 80 schools just two years ago.
Mamdani Madness, 36 Hours Later
4 replies
It hasn't even been two full days since polls closed in New York City, so the full blossoming of the Mamdani effect is far from being fully witnessed. But what the heck. Let's take a peek in on parts of Gotham and see how things going.
As for Zohran Mamdani himself, it didn't take more than an hour when it became official he would be the next resident of Gracie Mansion that the Mayor-Elect gave an angry acceptance speech. There were plenty of lowlights all throughout his address, but here are just some of the bits that will cause a lot of New Yorkers to
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.
It's beginning to look like the prediction Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) made about the Democrats and the shutdown is right.
He predicted that after the elections, we would get some movement from the Democrats to end the shutdown, because the shutdown was about juicing their base, trying to whip them up to get out to the polls. Once the elections were over, they would then try to find an off-ramp to end the shutdown and claim a victory. Surprise, surprise. Now we're hearing that Democrats are engaging with Republicans on reopening the government, according to Punchbowl.

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold escalated her standoff with the Trump administration this week, rejecting a request for the state’s full, unredacted voter file. “We will not comply with the Trump Department of Justice’s request for Coloradans’ sensitive voting information. The DOJ can take a hike; it does not have a legal right to the information. Colorado will not help Donald Trump undermine our elections and hurt the American people.” Colorado’s refusal comes as the DOJ expands lawsuits into at least 14 states for denying similar requests.
Pastor Announces Transition
24 replies
A New York pastor surprised churchgoers with the extraordinary revelation that he is transitioning into a woman and will now use she/her pronouns. Reverend Phil Phaneuf, 51, who was born male, shared that she has been undergoing a gender transition with her congregation at North Chili United Methodist Church (UMC) during Sunday service. 'I get to announce with joy that I am transitioning. I am affirming and saying to all of you that I am transgender,' the veteran pastor, wearing a rainbow stole, declared this past Sunday. ,
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani tapped a convicted felon who served seven years for a string of armed robberies targeting New York City taxi drivers to advise him on the "criminal legal system."
Mysonne Linen, a rapper-turned-social justice activist, will serve on Mamdani's "criminal legal system committee," 1 of 17 committees that Mamdani created to help transition into his administration. Mamdani said the appointees "will be tasked with not only making personnel recommendations but policy recommendations."
For as little as $1, you can dim the sun — just a tiny bit — to save the world from climate change. At least, that’s the promise sold by a California start-up called Make Sunsets. Your dollar will pay for founder Luke Iseman to drive a Winnebago RV into the hills half an hour outside Saratoga, California, to release a balloon loaded with sulfur dioxide, an air pollutant normally spewed by volcanic eruptions. He and his 1,000 paying customers hope the balloon will burst in the stratosphere, releasing particles that will block sunlight and cool the planet. A better-funded competitor, Stardust, has raised $75 million
Amid reports of a federal crackdown targeting Somali immigrants, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Wednesday issued an executive order prohibiting law enforcement from using city-owned parking lots for immigration operations. (snip) “This property is owned and/or controlled by the City of Minneapolis. The City of Minneapolis does not authorize this property to be used, and it may not be used, by any federal, state, or local government entity or personnel as a staging area, processing location, operations base, or any other similar use for civil immigration enforcement operations.”
Trump was right not to want a second strike

The facts are still emerging through the fog of war (or is it the fog of law enforcement, or the fog of antiterrorism?). Sometimes people (including myself) draw conclusions on the basis of incomplete information, so let’s start with what’s really known.
Our military launched another missile attack on a drug-smuggling fast boat. The boat burst into flames and was dead in the water but did not immediately sink. On-scene surveillance showed that not all of the 11 crew members were killed. One or two men were seen moving in the water.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday ripped Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., as “garbage” and said Somalis should “go back to where they came from,” in disparaging remarks that have been strongly criticized by local leaders in Minnesota. “I don’t want them in our country. I’ll be honest with you, OK. Somebody will say, ‘Oh, that’s not politically correct.’ I don’t care. I don’t want them in our country. Their country is no good for a reason," said Trump, who has a history of disparaging African people and migrant communities.
Progressive Jersey City Councilman James Solomon is projected to beat former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey (D) in Jersey City’s mayoral election, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Solomon on Tuesday defeated McGreevey, who resigned from his post as governor in 2004 after revealing that he had an extramarital affair with a man, in an election to succeed current Mayor Steve Fulop (D), who opted to instead run for governor. Fulop lost in the Democratic gubernatorial primary to New Jersey Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill (D).
Solomon and McGreevey ran in a crowded race in November that included five others for the mayoral seat.

A stunning new report from the University of California, San Diego, reveals that incoming college students are less prepared for their classes than ever. The steep decline in academic readiness among its first-year students is particularly noticeable in mathematics. The UCSD paper shows that between 2020 and 2025, the number of students with math skills below high school level increased nearly thirtyfold. Additionally, 70% of these students are below the middle school level.

From the looks of it, this one could have been bad — really bad. Cops stopped a car that was in the park after hours in Wilmington, Delaware, in late November, and when the driver refused to exit the vehicle, officers detained him. What they found next was truly scary:
Police searched the Tacoma and found several items inside, including a loaded handgun, extended magazines, body armor, a laptop and binoculars.[snip]
The man, 25-year-old Luqmaan Khan, turned out to be a University of Delaware student. It gets worse:
A group of HIV-positive men gathered at the U.S.–Mexico border Sunday and staged a coordinated “kiss-in,” aiming to confront what they described as discrimination and hostile immigration policies under President Donald Trump.
The demonstration took place at Friendship Park/Parque de la Amistad between California and Mexico as activists marked the run-up to World AIDS Day, according to The Advocate. MPact Global Action for Gay Men’s Health and Rights officials organized the event. They said they intend to normalize public displays of affection by people living with HIV, push back against stigmas surrounding sex and dating, and highlight concerns that queer migrants face under Trump-era border enforcement.

Go ahead and put this in the category, "we told you so," Democrats are the pro-crime party. Need more proof? Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal (WA-7) wants to make Americans pay for illegal aliens' legal defense, and stop Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from being able to detain people who shouldn't even be in our country. During a press conference on Wednesday, Jayapal was joined by fellow Democrats to announce her bill H.R.2760 - The Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act - which has 123 Democrat co-sponsors in the House. Jayapal admitted that her bill not only "overhauls the detention system," but also "drastically scales back the use of detention" by
