Have ‘Failed This Moment’
Posted By: Dreadnought, 3/29/2026 1:18:12 PM
On Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) said Democrats had “failed this moment,” so new leadership was needed. Host Kristen Welker said, “Senator, let’s talk about your new book. I have it right here. Stand. I’m going to read a little portion for everyone. You write, quote, ‘We cannot cancel everyone who fails a purity test. We cannot exile those who don’t align with our every belief, however passionately we hold it. Coalitions that are only composed of the already converted cannot change the country. If everyone in your coalition agrees with you on everything, your coalition is too

The most recent Harvard-Harris poll had some intriguing elements, and you have to think the Democrats aren't going to like them.
We've seen constant doom posting from them and from the liberal media about Operation Epic Fury. If you believed what they're spewing out, you would think that we were losing badly and President Donald Trump had given up, when the reality is that we've been having unparalleled military success. Yes, there's more than just military success involved, but they're largely ignoring that. Indeed, if Iran is influenced

Trump to keep fighting until Iran is decisively defeated 3 replies
WASHINGTON (AP) — Gulf allies of the United States, led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, are urging President Donald Trump to continue prosecuting the war against Iran, arguing that Tehran hasn’t been weakened enough by the monthlong U.S.-led bombing campaign, according to U.S., Gulf and Israeli officials.
After private grumbling at the start of the war that they were not given adequate advance notice of the U.S.-Israeli attack and complaining the U.S. had ignored their warnings that the war would have devastating consequences for the entire region, some of the regional allies are making the case to the White House that the moment offers a historic opportunity
President Donald Trump has referred to an unnamed Iranian someone (or someones) that he’s been negotiating with after the U.S. took out former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and most of his minions with Operation Epic Fury.
The ayatollah’s son, Mojtaba Khamenei, was named the new supreme leader, but he’s been bedeviled by rumors that he’s not very bright, gay, and severely wounded. Meanwhile, he hasn’t been seen or heard in public, thus earning him the nickname the “Cardboard Ayatollah.”
RedState’s Nick Arama has written previously that many speculate the man Trump is negotiating with is Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf,
Democrats In Decline

Given their aggressive posture in today’s politics, you might assume the Democrats are in the ascendancy. In fact, however, they are in the midst of a long-term decline. YouGov charts party affiliation over the last 20 years.
First, though, some historical perspective: 70 years ago, Democrats had a huge partisan advantage over Republicans. That advantage has steadily eroded over time, in large part because conservative Southerners, once Democrats, are now Republicans: Now, for the last 20 years:
Over the past 20 years, the share of Americans who identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party has decreased at a steady pace.
Michigan's left-wing Democratic Senate candidate, Abdul El-Sayed, told staffers he wanted to avoid making a public statement about the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei—or taking any public position on it at all—because "there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad" about his death, according to audio from a private campaign strategy call obtainedIf reporters pressed him to take a position, he said, he would change the subject to Donald Trump's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. "I'm just gonna go straight to pedophilia, frankly," El-Sayed said. "I'll just be like, 'Pedophile president decides

've been writing over the last few weeks about the relentless annihilation of both personnel and infrastructure of the two primary military forces inside the Islamic Republic of Iran - The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and the Basij. This weekend's target list by American and Israeli forces, and the successful results of which are being verified by the hour, are momentous.
President Donald Trump, who represents the head White Walker in my previous Game of Thrones analogy, who until a little over a month ago was still on the other side of Iran's wall, addressed the press corps on the back of Air Force One Sunday nigh
The Democrats’ partial shutdown of the government, which has left the Department of Homeland Security underfunded and unable to operate efficiently, has now gone on for over 44 days. Dems have demanded radical and unacceptable reforms to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), or they’ll continue to throw their endless temper tantrums, no matter how many Americans it hurts.
The latest Schumer Shutdown has caused Transportation Security Administration agents to go unpaid, resulting in over 500 officers quitting, massive no-shows, and hardships for agents who can’t pay their bills while Congress goes home for vacation.
Once again, however, it would appear that the Dems
President Trump came out swinging against the "new regime" in Iran Monday morning, threatening in a Truth Social post to escalate military operations there if a deal isn't reached and the Strait of Hormuz isn't immediately reopened.
The president indicated in his post that the U.S. has been in "serious discussions" with "A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME" to end the military operation. It's still unclear who, exactly, is part of this new regime and if it includes the presumed new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.
Somewhat more clear is what the U.S. intends to do if a deal isn't reached "shortly"
As only TV personality and host Mike Rowe can, he embodied what makes America great. The American Dream is not just about a certain achievement like buying a home or being promoted to a particular vocation: It's about the opportunity to dream big and aspire to higher things — or just different ones.
Of course, Rowe's incredibly insightful commentary, which he posted to X on Sunday, was born from unfunny comedian Jimmy Kimmel's joke that maligned the fact that a plumber — that would be former plumber, former U.S. Senator from Oklahoma, and current Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin

On Sunday, a Frontier Airlines flight 2539 from Columbus, Ohio had to make an emergency landing at the Hartfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta after a passenger on board the aircraft made verbal bomb threats. The incident sparked a massive police response at the airport in Atlanta, Georgia, around 5pm on Sunday. The emergency landing took place shortly after that, amid allegations that the suspect allegedly tried to hijack the plane with the bomb threat.
Fox 5 Atlanta reports citing the Atlanta Police Department, which is leading the investigation, that the bomb threat turned out to be a false alarm. However,
Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) said the United States had “won or is winning” the military conflict with Iran.
Kristen Welker said, “I want to start off by talking about the war with Iran. Senator, President Trump continues to insist that the United States is winning. Take a listen to a little bit of what he had to say this week.”
Trump said, “Let me end with one. You know, you never like to say ‘too early’, you won…We won. We won the bet in the first hour. It was over. I think we won. The wind knocked out the Navy, the Air Force. We’ve knocked out
Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) said the military conflict in Iran will be looked at as one of the greatest “presidential blunders of our time.”
Host Kristen Welker said, “The U.S. has reportedly sent Iran a 15-point plan addressing its ballistic and nuclear weapons program, and some analysts have already drawn some comparisons to the talks under the Obama administration. The deal that was struck during the Obama era. Do you support the Trump administration’s efforts to try to negotiate a deal with Iran to bring this war to an end?”
Booker said, “I don’t support this administration, period.

An African nation is calling for Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., to be extradited after Vice President JD Vance claimed during an interview that the lawmaker committed immigration fraud. The Republic of Somaliland, a partially recognized state in the Horn of Africa, reacted in a post on X to the claim that Vance made in a podcast interview with conservative commentator Benny Johnson.

At 87 years old, California Rep. Maxine Waters isn’t just part of the Democratic gerontocracy the party is trying to fight against — she’s arguably its most visible face.
Thus, approaching the 2026 election, you’d think that she’d be considering retiring — and if not that, at least scaling back her role a bit. Pulling a Pelosi, if you will: take it a bit easy and let your stock portfolio do the work for you.
But, no. Not only does crazy old Auntie Maxine plan on running for her 19th term in office — which she’ll almost certainly succeed at, given her name recognition and how blue her district is
Senate GOP Needs New Leadership
20 replies
It’s becoming increasingly obvious that, despite a 53-47 Republican majority, the U.S. Senate is a graveyard for President Trump’s agenda. This is largely the fault of Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), who has never been a strong supporter of the President. Despite this, most Republicans hoped that Thune would work to advance Trump’s priorities, particularly after his decisive 2024 victory provided the momentum for the GOP to retake the Senate. But Thune’s refusal to get the SAVE America Act passed and his surrender to the Democrats on DHS funding — without additional money for ICE or CPB — dashed any hope.

Two Colorado Democrats have proposed legislation that would crack down on restaurants’ abilities to provide complimentary napkins, utensils and condiments to customers, in the name of protecting the environment.
Bill SB26-146 would ban “a retail food establishment or third-party food delivery service from providing single-use food serviceware to a customer” unless the customer requested or confirms he or she wanted it, according to the bill’s text. Democratic Colorado State Sen. Lisa Cutter and Democratic Colorado State Rep. Meg Froelich introduced the legislation on March 24 and, if passed, will go into effect at the start of 2027.
The bill defines “single-use serviceware”
#ProtestsSoWhite

We wonder if anyone has conducted a demographic survey of the people who showed up at the “No Kings” protests around the country, because we suspect the results would be an embarrassment.
We noticed as a rally marched down the main street in Pasadena, California, that the protesters were comprised almost entirely of white people who were predominantly middle-aged or older. (This is a city that is 40% black and Hispanic, according to the Census Bureau.)
So we looked at videos and pictures from protests in other cities around the country this past Saturday, and noticed
A Ventura County woman has died from a rattlesnake bite she suffered while hiking at Wildwood Regional Park, authorities said Wednesday.
The recent fatality marks the second rattlesnake-related death in California this month. Experts say record-breaking heat has made the snakes active earlier than usual.
Southern California is a hiker’s paradise, but out on the trails, you’re rarely alone. The Southern Pacific rattlesnake is “right at home in the cracks and crevices of the great outdoors,” said local hiker Croy Tan. “Technically, this is where they are. This is their place, you know what I mean,” he added.
On March 14, the Ventura County Fire Department said a 46-year-old woman
After official confirmation that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) did, in fact, commit immigration fraud, the Republic of Somaliland — which has good reason to be bitter at the crimes of Omar and her Somali family — offered to be the hammer of justice if the United States would extradite Omar there.
The tantalizing offer comes after Vice President JD Vance confirmed on Benny Johnson’s show what many of us have thought of Omar for a long time — there is, in fact, solid evidence that the radical Islamist member of Congress committed immigration fraud.
It’s like a pandemic: Weekly news reports of yet another teacher arrested for having an erotic relationship with a student – often a young, attractive female exploiting a teen male under the age of consent.
But this phenomenon of “educator sexual misconduct,” or ESM, is not as bad as it appears.
In fact, it’s worse.
Such stories evoke the prurient pop music theme found in the rock band Van Halen’s 1984 tune “Hot For Teacher.”
However, in the real world, the overwhelming majority of these criminal relationships are never disclosed and prosecuted, and their destructive impact on victims goes largely unreported.
