Former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg is less popular among black voters than former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke was in 2016, according to a new poll. Just 4% of black voters said they would support Buttigieg if the 2028 Democratic presidential primary were held today, according to the Fall 2025 Yale Youth Poll. Social media users were quick to point out that former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke received more support from black voters after announcing his Louisiana Senate campaign in 2016, with 14% of black voters backing Duke at the time.

This is important because black voters in the Democrat primaries hold tremendous sway. Note that Shapiro is at Zero support, while Kamalala rules the roost at almost 50%.

The Buttster has held positions as mayor of South Bend and secretary of transportation, but what are his achievements and accomplishments? None! The former sex worker Harris has held even more positions, but where are her achievements and accomplishments? None…. but we won’t talk about her “positions” with Willie Brown. Accomplishments, achievements, competence, real experience, those are not important to Dems. It’s all about identity. What color you are or where you park your parts.

Outright homosexuality is not that popular among the US Black population. The leftist Democrats know that, and if Buttigieg puts himself forward into the Democrat primaries he is likely to be embarrassed if that is possible.

That is certainly special news for Pete (sarcasm) but not unexpected results. The black community has little regard for the abc123qvc sexually confused crowd. Funny how the black community never gets called horrible names because they hold that belief. Now if you are white that is a whole different story. But go ahead. Run Pete, run! Kamala LOL.

Though former KKKer David Duke is an odious fellow--I protested loudly against him at Vanderbilt fifty years ago, and know nothing of him now--he probably isn't married to another guy (as the guy's "wife") with adopted infants he is trying to nurse with estrogen-overdose male "breast" milk. I mean ... GROSS! Black folks don't have any different reaction than mine to Boot-edge-edge; we're all grossed out. It's a human thing, not a racial thing. Pete (Mayor Pot Hole from South Bendover) is not well. Not well at all. Reprobate mind, and all that.

He is a cabinet member who was not very good at his job. If he was a straight white male, he would never have been appointed. You can milk the gay thing just so long before someone notices the lack of results.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) is facing a challenging political future as he finds himself at the epicenter of a growing fraud scandal in his home state. The controversy, which focuses on hundreds of millions of dollars allegedly stolen from a federally funded nutrition program, has led to more than 50 convictions. The New York Times gave the story national attention last week, highlighting statements from federal prosecutors that as much as $1 billion in taxpayer money may have been stolen in separate plots.

Swiss voters have rejected a tax on ultra wealthy residents and turned down a proposal to extend mandatory military service to women, initial poll results showed Sunday. Nearly 85% of voters rejected military or civic service for females, and 79% voted against a 50% inheritance tax for the most wealthy Swiss. The inheritance tax would have imposed the levy on individuals receiving a tax-free amount of 50 million Swiss Francs, or just over $62 million. The proposal, made by the youth wing of the leftist Social Democrats, would have directed the funds toward the nation's climate change mitigation efforts.

The Afghan man accused of gunning down two National Guard members blocks from the White House last week had been unraveling for years, unable to hold a job and flipping between long, lightless stretches of isolation and taking sudden weeks-long cross-country drives. His behavior deteriorated so sharply that a community advocate reached out to a refugee organization for help, fearing he was becoming suicidal. Emails obtained by The Associated Press reveal mounting warnings about the suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an asylum seeker whose erratic conduct raised alarms long before the attack that jolted the nation’s capital on the eve of Thanksgiving.

Members of the eight-strong mob were arrested and hit with felony charges after their alleged December 6 theft spree - something they may not have expected in their Pennsylvania home city, whose district attorney is a notoriously woke prosecutor called Larry Krasner.

“Somali Immigrants Are Revitalizing Main Street America,” NBC News claimed. A barrage of similar stories hailed Somalis and other Muslim migrants for ‘transforming’ Middle America. After President Trump’s criticism of Somali abuse, triggered by reporting of massive $1B plus frauds conducted by the David Horowitz Freedom Center and other conservative media outlets, the media has rushed out more of these same stories about Somali accomplishments. But let’s look at some of the facts. Somalis are the second largest foreign-born population in Minnesota after Mexicans. 42% of Somalis fall below the poverty line. This is far worse than the 21% poverty rate for African-Americans or any Christian African immigrant population -

An Australian women’s rights advocate has been ordered to pay a combined total of $95,000 AUD to two trans-identified men, with an additional $40,000 penalty in the case of non-compliance. Kirralie Smith was found guilty by a New South Wales court of “unlawfully vilifying” two trans-identified males who made headlines for participating in women’s sports.

Sen.

Speaking with the ex-CNN host during a Wednesday virtual appearance on the Jim Acosta Show, Kelly went on a rant calling Trump’s presidency a “travesty for this country.” “I don’t think Donald Trump has read the Constitution. I think he’s ignorant to it,” the left-wing senator said. “He’s ignorant to a lot. I don’t think he understands that this is the foundation of our democracy.”

The Democrats have decided that “affordability” is the issue that will win the next election cycle. Are they daft? The most unaffordable states and cities in the country are Democrat strongholds.
