While it'd be a bit overstated to say that New Jersey Democrats are in trouble because of the final voter registration figures, it isn't overstated to say that Democrats shouldn't worry about this year's election. This morning, the New York Post reported "The number of registered Republicans in New Jersey grew by nearly 31,000 this year — while the number of registered Democrats dropped by more than 11,000, new data show. Democrats still hold the overall edge in the Garden State, with a total of 2.5 million registered voters compared to about 1.6 million registered Republicans and 2.3 million unaffiliated voters." Numerically speaking, that's still a significant lead for Democrats. The things that Democrats should worry about are the trend and the fact that Scott Presler is spearheading the NJ voter registration drive. These aren't things that are strengthening the NJ Democrat Party. The fact that NJ Democrat registration dropped by 11,000 signifies a...

Apparently, the DFL operatives posing as Minnesota Supreme Court justices don't respect the constitutional principle known as the Supremacy Clause . The text of the Supremacy Clause says "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land ; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding." Yesterday, KSTP reported "The Minnesota Supreme Court has ruled that an adult transgender athlete was discriminated against when she was banned from participating in a women’s powerlifting competition but opened the door to additional legal challenges. Minnesota’s high court issued its opinion Wednesday morning. In doing so, the court affirmed that the state’s Human Rights Act (MHRA) protects transgender people from discrimin...

Last week, I wrote this article about Keith Ellison disrespecting the military. He disrespected the military by showing disinterest in the arrival of an Honor Flight at Reagan National Airport on Sept. 26. Almost a month after the incident and almost a week after the incident was report, AG Ellison responded to the article. Ellison's response was classic Ellison. Ellison said "Let me just say, the idea that I don’t support veterans is ridiculous. It’s untrue. It’s a lie. Now look, that day, there were 10 or 11 different veterans that came off. I clapped for like all of them.Then I got a call from my office and I answered the phone. And so I might not have been able to see that one that they caught me where I was attending to work-related business." In this video, there wasn't footage of Ellison getting a "call from my office." In this video, what happened is pretty straightforward: Ellison said "I clapped for like all of them." What do your eyes ...

Now that John Catsimatidis has called for Curtis Sliwa to drop out of the NYC mayoral race, the question now is simple. Where were they when this race was just getting started? Where was Catsimatidis when candidates were getting recruited? Where was Ackman when top-tier candidates were guests of honor at the biggest fundraisers? You'd think that people with this much exposure to high-level politicking like Catsimatidis and Ackman have that they'd know that campaign machines are built a year before the election. Campaign machines can't be built a month before Election Day, mostly because that's when early voting starts. You can't even start a month before early voting starts. Starting a year before helps campaigns register new voters, fundraise, put key people in positions of importance and give them time to get polished. Now Catsimatidis wants Sliwa to drop out after Sliwa handily won the first debate. It’s worth noting that Andrew Cuomo looked like ‘Low Energy Jeb...

Are House Democrats about to try a new twist in leadership? This morning, Axios reported that "Democratic congressional candidates nationwide, feeding off voter fury, are raging against their leadership and vowing to be ruthless." We know that Democrats know how to be ruthless. After all, they're the Party That (allegedly) Assassinated Charlie Kirk. They're the Party that allegedly attempted to (twice) assassinate then Candidate Donald Trump. But I digress. According to Axios, "I am not a 'when they go low, we go high' [person]. I'm not that kind of girl," Texas state Rep. Jolanda Jones, who is running in a November special election for a safely Democratic U.S. House seat, told Axios about dealing with Republicans." It's one thing to attack the opposite party. It's another to attack your own party. According to this article , "Dozens of Democrats running for U.S. House seats across the country told Axios they either wouldn'...

For the 11th time this year, Senate Democrats voted to keep the federal government shut down . To be fair, only a portion of the government is shut down. Most of the appropriations bills have been signed. That being said, some major bills haven't been signed. CBS is reporting that "Senate Majority Leader John Thune is expected to bring up a bill this week that would pay federal employees and military service members who have continued to work during the funding lapse. Advancing the legislation would require support from Democrats, who blocked a long-term defense spending bill from advancing last week." Expect that to fall short of the 60 votes needed to end cloture. While the Senate keeps voting to keep the government shut, expect House Republicans to stay away. Speaker Miker Johnson got ABC anchor Jonathan Karl to admit the quiet part out loud: Driving the Shutdown This is interesting: Democratic Rep. Johnny Olszewski — whose Maryland district is home to over 20,000 fede...
