The Left's Worst Political Miscalculation
Posted By: Mercedes44, 6/23/2026 5:53:35 AM
recently joined my dear friend AJ Rice on his new show, "Dangerous Laughter." It’s a cutting-edge example of new media that AJ describes as “political satire with a spine.” Somewhere between the laughs, the history lessons, and AJ's trademark ability to connect today's headlines to events most people slept through in high school, we landed on a topic that continues to haunt the American Left. Why are so many Latino Americans walking away from the Democrat Party? It's a question I explore in my new book, "The Rise of the Liberty-Loving Latino," but it's also a question Democrats seem uniquely incapable of answering honestly.

President Trump late Thursday evening announced all trade negotiations with Canada have been terminated after the government of Ontario, Canada, created an ad campaign using selective audio of President Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs.
Trump accused the government of Ontario of interfering with the Supreme Court’s decision on his tariffs. The high court is set to hear oral arguments on November 5 on Trump’s tariffs after a lower court ruled they were illegal.
“The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement, which is FAKE, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs,” Trump said.

Ducking a heated debate can be extremely revealing about a politician.
Take the case of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s outrageous hide-and-seek reaction after a Brooklyn coffee shop taunted Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) over his support for Israel and banned him from its Park Slope location.
The owner of Poetica Coffee, Parviz Mukhamadkulov, took to Instagram to write, “Hey Congressman Dan Goldman, we see that you stopped by our shop today for a coffee. Do you see how it doesn’t taste like genocide juice?” next to an image of the lawmaker at the shop’s register.
A federal judge on Wednesday permanently banned Trump from implementing his executive order that required proof of citizenship when they register to vote.
Boston-based US District Judge Denise Casper, an Obama appointee, said the Constitution “does not grant the President any specific powers over elections.”
The DOJ will immediately appeal.

Bill Pulte has begun firing Deep State intel officials just days into his role as Acting DNI.
“The Deep State firings have begun” a source told CNN on Monday.
It is unclear how many people have been fired.
It was previously reported that Trump wanted to reduce the size of the federal intel agencies. Federal housing regulator Bill Pulte showed up to work a day early last Thursday and asked for a list of all employees as he decided whom to fire.
According to CNN, Pulte met with lawyers last Thursday evening.

It’s amazing to think Keir Starmer was sold to us Brits as Mr. Sensible.
He’ll be gloriously boring and that’s just what we need, said his media cheerleaders when he was elected prime minister in July 2024.
After the tumult of Brexit, the wacky Boris Johnson years and all that lockdown lunacy, we need a little calm, they said.
Enter Sir Keir.
He’s a “safe pair of hands,” said every talking head.
“The grown-ups are back in charge,” cried The Guardian.
Fast-forward 23 months and Starmer has thrown in the towel.
Far from steadying the good ship Britain, he’s left it in an unholy mess.
Starmer’s Britain is a nation scarred by riots, fractured by social division,
Hospitality for everyone — except supporters of Israel.
A crunchy coffee shop flamed pro-Israel Rep. Dan Goldman for buying a cup of java at its Brooklyn location and issued him a refund, declaring it doesn’t serve “genocide enablers.”
Poetica Coffee revealed the unasked-for $9.82 refund in a bitter Facebook post Sunday, with a pic of a hapless Goldman – who faces a tough Democratic primary challenge from former city Comptroller Brad Lander – in the Park Slope shop. facebook

New York’s immigrant Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani is trying to grab a leading role in the Democratic Party by using his urban political machine to defeat establishment Democrats. “Mamdani Burns Allies in Making a Big Bet for Congress and the Left,” said a June 21 headline in the New York Times, which describes how the ethnic Indian Mayor is trying to defeat leaders in the city’s Latino and Jewish blocs: Mr. Mamdani and allies are attempting to unseat two Democratic incumbents, Representatives Daniel Goldman and Adriano Espaillat, whom they view as too friendly to corporate donors and Israel. They want to lay claim to a third House seat.
High-level talks between Iran and the United States resulted in “a lot of good progress,” Vice President JD Vance said as he left Switzerland on Monday after the two sides agreed on a road map toward reaching a final deal to end the war within 60 days.“We laid a very good foundation for a successful final deal,” Vance said at a news briefing before he departed for the U.S. “The final deal is the house. We set the foundation. We haven’t built the house, but we’ve laid a successful foundation to get to a good place for the American people.”
As I've been reporting, Colombia had presidential elections last month, and on Sunday, there was a run-off between the Donald Trump-like right-winger, Abelardo de la Espriella (aka El Tigre), and current president Gustavo Petro's hand-picked socialist successor, Iván Cepeda. Well, we can say that another country in Latin America has taken a swing to the right because El Tigre won narrowly, though I'm willing to bet Petro and his folks were up to some funny business. I just don't buy that nearly half the country voted for the commie... or, at least, half of the 63.6% of people who showed up to the polls in Colombia and beyond.
Tulsi Gabbard’s last day as the director of national intelligence is upon us, after she resigned because of a major illness in the family. In her resignation note to the president, she cited her husband Abraham Williams’ recent diagnosis with sacral chordoma — an extremely rare tumor that develops in the sacrum at the base of the spine. In her resignation, she wrote that "He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle."
deliberate, multi-layered system was assembled over decades by the Democrat Party and its various allies and dramatically expanded between 2021 and 2025, through which U.S. taxpayer dollars, recycled foreign contributions, and dark-money campaign finance were deployed to facilitate mass illegal immigration, entrench the illegal alien population against removal, and sustain the political coalition responsible for building the system in the first place.
What follows is a structural analysis of the multi-layered system that has been bilking taxpayers for a very long time.

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres called for a massive increase in global climate spending, arguing that governments and financial institutions must devote significantly more resources to addressing climate-related challenges.
In a special address at London Climate Action Week on Monday, Guterres said that governments must invest more heavily in climate-related initiatives.
“We must do far more to protect people and communities from the here-and-now effects of climate chaos,” Guterres said. “Because even at full speed, we cannot outrun climate change. Its impacts are already here, compounding and cascading.”

Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is still railing against the Electoral College, which cost her the presidency in 2016, calling it an "abomination" in a trailer for the new Netflix docuseries titled "The American Experiment." In a trailer for the upcoming series, which is executive-produced by Tom Hanks, Clinton remarks, "Well, I personally think the Electoral College is an abomination. For obvious reasons." (Snip) The push for abolishing the Electoral College, which was instituted in 1787, has gained increased support in some corners of the left, especially after Clinton’s 2016 loss to President Donald Trump. Though Clinton won the national
The Zo-mentum is real.
Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s far-left slate of Big Apple congressional hopefuls prevailed in Tuesday’s Democratic primary — with firebrand Darializa Avila Chevalier projected to pull off an AOC-style upset.
Former city Comptroller Brad Lander and state Assemblywoman Claire Valdez were quickly projected by the Associated Press and NY1 to win over their establishment Democrat opponents.
Avila Chevalier held a razor-thin 49.3% to 46% lead over Rep. Adriano Espaillat with 86% of votes counted late Tuesday, leading the five-term incumbent to concede. The projected win by Avila Chevalier and the congressional race victories — coupled with a likely clean sweep of Democratic Socialists of America candidates in state races

The Montreal shooter’s manifesto makes it clear that he was a deranged leftist who was bitter against women, blaming capitalism and “white men” for the problems in his life, and that he was also antisemitic. Hatfield was a philosophy student at the University of Lethbridge, according to Rebel News.
Seth Hatfield from Alberta murdered a police officer, Constable Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, and a local Jewish man, Michael Mizrahi, on Monday in a crazed shooting spree in a Jewish section of Montreal. Police ended up killing Hatfield, too, during the shootout. Hatfield apparently left behind him a long, angry, and rambling manifesto condemning private property and the capitalist system, raging
The Democrat Party Is Dead

New York just gave America a preview of who's actually running the Democrat Party, and it isn't Hakeem Jeffries.
On Tuesday, all three socialist candidates endorsed by socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani swept their targeted congressional primaries. Three races, three wins, zero exceptions. Three Democrat incumbents in safe districts all lost. "Their positions are some of the most extreme & far left Dems have seen,” Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin said on X. Trust me, he’s not exaggerating.
Darializa Avila Chevalier took NY-13 on a platform built around abolishing prisons, abolishing ICE, abolishing borders, defunding the police, and opposing the deportation of every illegal immigrant, including violent criminals.
The World Cup, as everyone knows by now, has been taking place across several cities in stadiums that have surprised foreign visitors by being gigantic and air-conditioned.

Trump Cancels Signing of Housing Affordability

Bill, Says SAVE Act Should Be Passed First 13 replies
President Donald Trump on June 24 canceled the scheduled signing of a bipartisan housing bill aimed at lowering home prices, saying that an election integrity bill should be passed by Congress first.
“Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
The SAVE America Act would require voters to prove their U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections. The House has passed the legislation, while the Senate has struggled to get the necessary 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. Democrats have objected to the bill, arguing
How the Kennedy Dynasty Lost Its Crown

For generations, the Kennedy name has been a shorthand in American politics for youth, glamour, public service and electoral success. But on Tuesday, Jack Schlossberg, the only grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, finished a distant third in a New York Democratic congressional primary—raising the question of whether the political magic around one of America's most famous dynasties has finally run out. Schlossberg, 33, lost the race for New York's 12th Congressional District to state Assemblymember Micah Lasher despite entering the contest with perhaps the most recognizable surname in Democratic politics. The political newcomer campaigned heavily on social
A foreign-born federal judge in D.C. ruled Monday that Americans are not allowed to check the citizenship of prospective voters because doing so might “purge voter rolls.”
D.C. District Court Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, who is from Trinidad and Tobago, blocked the Trump administration from using an updated database called the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system in order to ensure that only American citizens vote in American elections. Sooknanan became a U.S. citizen in 2009, but seemingly still retains citizenship in Trinidad and Tobago, which she said she would only renounce “if required by law.”
Gavin Newsom’s carefully guarded wine empire is still netting a pretty penny while he’s in the governor’s office.
Details of the governor’s sprawling network of wineries, hotels and booze ventures are revealed in the California governor’s economic disclosures.
Federal Department of Justice probes involving Newsom’s wife, associates and family tax issues has ramped up scrutiny of the governor’s personal assets as he pledges to eventually release his tax returns to the public. Newsom called the investigations, which he revealed in a prerecorded video last week, politically motivated.
