CNN data analyst Harry Enten branded the early Democratic contest for the 2028 presidential election a “downright clown car” and “total mess” with “no clear frontrunner” – a point he noted was “very unusual” even at this early stage. (Snip) “Yeah, they’re all running and this is just a downright clown car at this point on the Democratic side,” Enten said, pointing to early polling that shows Newsom at 19%, followed closely by former Vice President Kamala Harris at 18%. “Quite a weak number for her, given that of course, she was the nominee last time around,” commented Enten.

The last Democrat President was a total complete figurehead. Their current situation is not a problem. Some of the Democrats want to turn our form of government into a bald-faced mockery. They did it with Biden and they will do so again. Who knows? Maybe they will dress someone up as a clown and nominate them for president. The Republicans are ripe for surrender, and we will end up with an honest to goodness clown.

Eaton describes Nuisance as "flailing" but I think that he is trying to build some momentum and people are finding out from his efforts that he is a weak candidate. This is a common failing with most dems. Kamalalala started out by running her "Joy" campaign where she was only slightly visible. When that faltered, she stepped out more and people found out she wasn't worth their vote. Almost all the dems that have tried to get some excitement going have faded away as people got to see more of them. They aren't likable and they are dumb. No one is impressed by them. A "clown show" is too kind of a description.

Lots of clowns on the Dem 'presidential list'. Newscum has an excellent track record.....he has destroyed every single thing he has touched. Emblematic is the train to nowhere, with something like $14,000,000,000 already spent and not ONE FOOT of track has been put down. I seriously doubt if that train will ever roll, even in the short, pretty useless reduced form that they have currently planned. Merced to Bakersfield....Merced has a population of 86,000 and Bakersfield has a population of 400,000. Merced is a agriculture area, and so is Bakersfield, with the addition of a bunch of oil infrastructure. They are about 175 miles apart, currently takes about 2 and a half hours to drive. If this fairy tale ever happens you could get on a train and travel in about an hour, and get there for a huge cost and arrive with NO CAR in an area with minimal public transportation. USELESS and stupid. Oh, yeah....estimates are that another $140,000,000,000 is needed to finish Newscum's Folly. With the California population (including massive numbers of illegals) counted as just under 40 million, that works out to about $3500 MORE for each and every person in the state. Since the illegals won't be paying and probably represent 8 million or 20% of the so called "population", the Americans in California will need to pony up about $4,400 each to finish this useless mess. But the Dems want all the rest of the USA taxpayers to pay for their boondoggle. NO! The USA isn't Europe, and the distances and general lack of workable public transportation here makes trains an outmoded, crummy form of transportation. Paris to London OVER the ocean, can be done in about 3 hours by train, with your car if you want. And you can get around easily with subways on both ends, so that makes sense. It does NOT make sense in the USA, except a few huge cities in the NE.....which ALREADY HAVE TRAINS because it makes sense there. California is a car state. Trains are dumb. This is just like EVs....BAD idea, being forced on people. Dems are all losers, full of all sorts of BAD ideas. And since us 'poor ignorant savages' out there in 'fly over country' don't grasp how much smarter and better the Dems are.....they'll just have to FORCE us to "do the right things". We're not having it.

A presidential candidate with a two digit IQ is, in fact, a "downright clown car." If Newscum gets the nomination, the Donks will have run three straight imbeciles (FJB, Kamala Sutra, and Hairgel). There are many more imbeciles out there who vote. Are we going to get off our butts this time and defeat them?

Although there’s been a reduction in the number of ICE agents in Minnesota, community activists say the fear of ICE still prevails and restaurants continue to lose business. That’s why dozens of people gathered to eat at several immigrant-owned restaurants along Central Avenue in northeast Minneapolis on Sunday afternoon. Some of the businesses included El Taco Riendo, Holy Land and The Golden Nuts. “The reason that we wanted to do this action was to show support for immigrant businesses that are really struggling even after the supposed draw-down,” Jae Yates of Twin Cities Coalition for Justice.

The armed madman who was shot and killed by the Secret Service after he snuck onto President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate Sunday was reportedly obsessed with the Jeffrey Epstein files — and implored others to “raise awareness” just days before the deadly encounter.

An armed man was shot and killed by the Secret Service in the early hours of the morning after unlawfully entering the secure perimeter at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago in Florida. The man, in his early 20s, was holding what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can as he tried to enter Trump's Palm Beach residence, the Secret Service said. He was neutralized by a deputy from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office around 1.30am on Sunday. The deceased man's identity has not been released. President Trump had been attending the Governors Dinner in Washington DC on Saturday night.

Kamala Harris is topping some new polls of Democratic White House contenders, a sign the former vice president and 2024 presidential nominee has staying power despite her defeat to President Trump. It’s a reality that flies in the face of some of the talk after that race, in which Democrats talked about turning the page, with some calling for the party to move on from a stale playbook and to look for new leaders. It all underscores the paradox Democrats are facing in their rebuilding efforts: Which parts of their messaging and leadership do they want to overhaul, and what

Some protesters faced off with Minnesota state troopers after an unlawful assembly was declared. Hospitality union members spoke to the council about the license renewals, explaining that some employees from the hotels have expressed fear over ICE agents staying there.

President Trump's decision to launch a war against Iran without congressional signoff has splintered lawmakers, largely along party lines, and supercharged the debate over war powers authority. While most Republicans largely rallied around Trump’s decision to carry out the massive joint attack with Israel, Democrats quickly denounced the attack as an illegal “war of choice” and demanded Congress come back to Washington to take a vote on whether to authorize another Middle East invasion. Democratic leaders have vowed to forge ahead with their plans to force a vote on a war powers resolution next week in the House that would block Trump from carrying out additional strikes.

The United Nations chief condemned the U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran and called for an immediate return to negotiations “to pull the region, and our world, back from the brink.” Secretary-General António Guterres told an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Saturday that everything must be done to prevent further escalation. “The alternative,” he warned, “is a potential wider conflict with grave consequences for civilians and regional stability.” Guterres said the U.S. and Israeli airstrikes violated international law, including the U.N. Charter. He also condemned Iran’s retaliatory attacks for violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Americans woke up Saturday to something big. The United States and Israel launched a massive joint offensive against Iran’s regime, known as Operation Epic Fury. According to reports, targets included Iran’s supreme leader and president. Major combat operations are now underway, and the implications are global. Predictably, Democrats in Washington and even some Republicans are questioning the strikes. But let’s be honest — this moment was long overdue. Iran’s reign of terror didn’t start yesterday. In fact, this confrontation is the direct result of the Obama administration’s disastrous decision a decade ago to appease, enrich, and embolden Tehran. Barack Obama and his administration sold the world a fantasy with
