Why does America have elected officials? If a visiting alien were introduced to the Democratic Party and asked that question, he’d surely say the purpose is to accumulate, consolidate, and hold power. This is the state of that party in 2026. Of course, this is not a new development. The Democratic Party has been moving from a traditional political group (with a long history of proposing poor ideas) to a mob that wants to rule over the country rather than represent voters, defend the Constitution, and uphold the rule of law. There’s no better example of this than the tantrum the party is pitching over the Virginia Supreme Court’s

The Democrat party has become an organization of old hippies seeking Utopia and sniveling, whiny, entitled brats who think the world owes them everything.

I live in a republican area. Two towns over the local democrat club has a website that talks about how protests should be peaceful....and then goes on to talk about our fascist government and that they are willing to fight against it.

There’s A Hidden Gem In The Latest Jobs Report 3 replies
Posted by RockyTCB 5/11/2026 10:01:50 AM Post Reply
When the federal government released its jobs report for April, even the die-hard Trump-hating media had to admit that the gain “beat expectations.” Economists had expected just 65,000, not the 115,000 reported. But the jobs report is even better than advertised, because it included a loss of 9,000 federal workers. That wasn’t how mainstream news outlets covered the report. They were busy on Friday, warning about “several red flags” and that “the solid-looking topline employment numbers mask underlying weakness in the labor market.” Given the inability of these “experts” to
Which State Is Next In The Medicaid Fraud-O-Rama? 11 replies

When the scale of the Medicaid fraud in Minnesota started to emerge, our first thought was that, if it’s that easy to rip off Medicaid, the North Star State can’t be the only place where it’s happening. Turns out we were right, as the Daily Wire’s exposé of massive fraud schemes in Ohio makes clear. Which means there are almost certainly still more to be uncovered. Which leads to the question of why we are learning about this only now. Daily Wire is releasing a five-part series that alleges massive fraud in an Ohio Medicaid program – a state that obtained a waiver so it could reimburse “home healthcare.”

Earlier this week, we editorialized about the Great Green Grift of the climate hustlers who line their own pockets as well as those of their co-conspirators. Today we dig into the science, which has been repeatedly abused, often abandoned and artfully prostituted to support the global warming racket. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has long been treated as always having the first and last word on global warming. Google’s artificial intelligence says it’s “widely regarded as the world’s leading authority on climate science, providing essential, peer-reviewed assessments that inform international policy.”

With no relief from high energy costs, ongoing concerns over the simmering U.S.-Iran conflict and a widening political schism among voters, President Donald Trump’s favorability continued to slump in early May, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. As the U.S. nears the midpoint of 2026, can Trump turn around voters’ negative opinions in time to help his party win the 2026 midterm election? Each month, the I&I/TIPP Poll asks a series of questions about the president’s leadership performance, starting with: “Overall, is your opinion of Donald Trump generally favorable, generally unfavorable, or are you not familiar enough to say one way or the other?”

As much as $16 trillion has been spent worldwide to defeat global warming. It could have been twice that and it would never be enough because the climate hustlers need to keep the dollars rolling in to line their own pockets. Now we finally have an Environmental Protection Agency chief who’s exposing the racket. Testifying last week before a Senate committee, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin told lawmakers that the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a $27 billion stash that was created through the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act, is a con. His office found
Make The Midterms The Spirit Airlines Election 5 replies

If there’s a lesson to be learned from the collapse of Spirit Airlines, it is that today’s Democratic Party should never be in charge of anything. Does that seem like a stretch? Not when you consider the facts. Four years ago, Spirit and JetBlue started talking about merging operations. Spirit was struggling to stay afloat, thanks in part to the massive run-up in inflation under President Joe Biden. The merger would have been a lifeline to Spirit and would have ensured low-cost competition survived. But Democrats — led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren — decided that they knew better.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren was not happy when the Senate Banking Committee voted to advance Kevin Warsh’s nomination to lead the Federal Reserve, saying it would amount to a takeover of the Fed by President Donald Trump. No surprise there. For today’s Democrats, everything Trump does is either illegal, a threat to Democracy, or fascistic. But then Warren said that “The Trump economy is in real trouble. Inflation is up, job creation is down. The stink of stagflation is in the air, and President Trump is getting desperate.” Is any of that true?

In a decision that shouldn’t have surprised anyone, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Democrats can no longer create safe electoral fiefdoms based on race to win elections, calling it “racial gerrymandering.” It’s about time. The ruling essentially “neuters,” as some put it, Section 2 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. PJ Media scribe Matt Margolis called the decision “one of the most consequential redistricting decisions in a generation.” That’s not hyperbole. And it was long overdue. While still upholding the landmark Voting Rights Act, a 6-3 conservative majority found that a redrawing of Louisiana’s congressional

For more than three decades, it’s been almost invariably accepted in policymaking circles that fossil fuel use has to be reduced and then eliminated altogether if we are to save the planet. But the second Trump administration has restored reason and logic to the energy and environment debate. Every American who enjoys the life-giving benefits of fossil fuels today should be thankful. Monday’s entertaining exchange between Environmental Protection Agency Director Lee Zeldin and Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro from Connecticut, who seems to have never been hinged to reality, is a bright spot we’ve needed for some time.

Revelations that the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center had been funding “hard right” extremist groups raise an important question beyond whether or not it was defrauding donors. The question is: If right-wing hate is so prevalent in America, why does the left have to fund it? We’re still learning what it is, exactly, that the SPLC has been up to, but what we’ve learned so far is pretty damning. The group — whose “hate map” holds tremendous sway with the press, politicians, and corporate America — was apparently raising money on the promise that it would stamp out hate groups, then use some

Against our better judgment, we decided to read Cole Allen’s “manifesto,” written before he tried to carry out what officials say was his plot to kill President Donald Trump and various other administration officials. When we did, we were surprised at how ordinary it was. Ordinary in the sense that it sounded like just about any Democrat or TDS sufferer you talk to these days. Allen says he’s “no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.” Gee, where have we heard language like this before?

Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones filed a long-shot emergency petition to the Supreme Court on Monday, urging it to reinstate the voter-approved Democratic gerrymander of the state’s congressional map, which the Virginia Supreme Court struck down last week. The petition, filed on behalf of Jones and other Democratic leaders in Virginia, argued that the Virginia Supreme Court erred in ruling that an “election” in the Virginia constitution includes the early voting period, instead arguing that under federal law, an “election” refers to a singular day.

The mayor of Arcadia admitted to acting as an illegal foreign agent of China, resigning from her position in a shocking federal plea deal unsealed on Monday. Eileen Wang agreed with prosecutors that she worked with the People’s Republic of China to boost propaganda with a fake news website on US soil between 2020 and 2022. She was elected to Arcadia City Council in November 2022 — the city is located in the San Gabriel Valley within LA County. Wang, 58, worked with her then fiancé, Yaoning “Mike” Sun, on a web site called “U.S. News Center,” which claimed to be news source for Chinese Americans, according to court documents.

A law that was brought in under Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to give all candidates an equal chance at the ballot is now being contested. In California, the primaries — dubbed the “jungle primaries” — work in a way where the two candidates, regardless of party, who secure the top two positions in the June primary advance to the general election. Now, a newly filed application is aiming to change that. (Snip) “It was extremely scary to envision the November ballot for governor with Republicans on it,” Maviglio told the Los Angeles Times.

A high school prom celebration turned deadly after gunfire erupted at a local park, killing a teenage girl and wounding four others, according to officials. Saturah Hayes, 17, was fatally shot Friday evening in Brownsville, Tenn. — about an hour northeast of Memphis — where Haywood High School students decked out in tuxedos and dresses gathered for photographs before the big dance, police and school officials said. Four others were shot and hospitalized, according to police. It’s not clear how many of those wounded were students. The prom was cut short and the school was closed Monday to give Hayes’ classmates time to grieve, Action News 5 reported.

In 1921, Woodrow Wilson, the first of America’s four transformative progressive presidents, became the first president to remain in Washington and make the nation’s capital his permanent home after leaving office. In very mild defense of the man who did more than any other to establish the administrative state and thus pervert America’s carefully constructed constitutional design, Wilson had suffered a debilitating stroke two years prior that left him partially paralyzed and nearly blind. He died just a few years later, in 1924. Barack Obama, the nation’s fourth transformative progressive president (following Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson)

WASHINGTON — Dr. Anthony Fauci on Monday survived a five-year legal deadline to face criminal charges for allegedly lying to Congress about funding risky research in Wuhan, China — but he isn’t out of the woods, The Post has learned. Fauci testified to a Senate committee on May 11, 2021, that he did not fund “gain of function” research that genetically altered coronaviruses in the same city where the COVID-19 pandemic started — as he tried to tamp down the now-dominant “lab leak” theory. Evidence shows he did. The country’s former top infectious disease official still could face other potential charges for lesser-known contested testimony, or for alleged conduct stretching closer

As Pakistan positioned itself as a diplomatic conduit between Tehran and Washington, it quietly allowed Iranian military aircraft to park on its airfields, potentially shielding them from American airstrikes, according to U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter. Iran also sent civilian aircraft to park in neighboring Afghanistan. It was not clear if military aircraft were among those flights, two of the officials told CBS News.

A Spanish court has sentenced two parents to prison for keeping their children locked away at their home for years in a case now known in the country as ‘The Oviedo Horror House’. A couple, identified due to Spanish child protection standards only as a 53 year-old German man and a 48 year-old German-American dual national woman, have been sentenced to two years and ten months in prison each for child abuse. The case, which is said to have shocked the nation and residents of the northwest city of Oviedo, Asturias, saw three children — two nine year-old twins and an 11 year-old boy — locked away by their parents

Five words: Power unused is power surrendered. That’s the reality Senate Republicans now face. With a narrow majority and a nation increasingly concerned about election integrity, Republicans face a choice: act decisively or allow procedural relics to dictate policy outcomes. At the heart of this dilemma is the filibuster — not a constitutional safeguard, not a sacred institution, but a Senate rule that has evolved into a minority veto. And in its current form, it’s not even honest. Today’s filibuster is a shadow of its former self. Senators no longer need to stand on the floor, speak for hours, or defend their obstruction before the American people.

New revelations emerging from Israeli security investigations have shattered any illusion that Turkey's relationship with Hamas is limited to "political support" or "diplomatic engagement." The evidence increasingly points to a situation far more alarming: Turkey has become a primary operational, logistical, and financial hub for Hamas's global terror infrastructure. Countries that enable terrorism cannot at the same time be treated as indispensable partners in the fight against terrorism. By allowing Hamas members to develop drone capabilities on Turkish soil, Ankara is deliberately grooming terrorists for future wars against Israel.
