Decades ago, when Democrats had men of national security gravitas, we could look at heavyweights like Sam Nunn, Scoop Jackson, Daniel Patrick Moynihan and JFK, just to name some of their heavyweights. By comparison, today's Democrats are littered with national security idiots like Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, Chris Murphy and AOC. Recently, AOC put together a word salad reply that would've made Kamala blush. AOC said "Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat who represents parts of the Bronx and Queens, said: 'Um, you know, I think that I, uh, this is such a, you know, I think that this is a, um, this is of course, a, uh, very longstanding, um, policy of the United States,' she began. 'And I think what we are hoping for is that we make sure we never get to that point and we want to make sure that we are moving all of our economic, research and our global positions to avoid any such confrontation and for that question to even arise,' she finished." THAT'S ...

It just wouldn't feel right if a day went by without Democrats didn't whine about Jim Crow 2.0. It doesn't matter that it's pure BS. What's required is the accusation getting made. This week's highest profile Jim Crow 2.0 accusation was made by Sen. Chuck Schumer. It should be noted that Sen. Schumer has the creativity of dirt. To prove my point, I'll highlight the fact that Sen. Schumer plagiarized that phrase from JOE BIDEN! Salena Zito got it right by writing "Kemp argued that the wave of what he called false hysteria created real economic fallout across the state, hitting small businesses especially hard. He noted that many of the vendors who lost opportunities tied to the relocated MLB All-Star Game were local entrepreneurs, including many minorities, who had hoped to recover from a year of pandemic-related losses by selling food, merchandise, and other goods during the event. "They overplayed their hand," Kemp told me, adding that the c...

.,/pIt's painfully obvious that Keith Ellison isn't a man of integrity. During Thursday's hearing, Ellison tried dodging criticism by telling people that they'd gotten the story wrong, that things hadn't happened that way. In replying to Sen. Moreno, AG Ellison intentionally dodged a question about a murder victim by trying to say he's prosecuted criminals. The question wasn't whether he'd prosecuted criminals. The question was whether he'd prosecuted the person who'd allegedly murdered a specific young woman. The article opens, saying "Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison found himself in the hot seat Thursday as Republican senators accused him of encouraging people to obstruct federal immigration enforcement, emboldening anti-ICE activists, and maintaining troubling ties to individuals later charged in the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme." Sen. Ron Johnson "accused Ellison of encouraging 'trained activists to put themse...

We are heartbroken beyond words by the tragic and senseless loss of our beloved daughter, Hallie Marie. Hallie was a bright light in our lives and in the lives of so many others. She was kind, compassionate, and full of promise. The pain of losing her in this way is something no family should ever have to endure, and we are still struggling to comprehend this unimaginable reality. We want to express our deepest gratitude to our family, friends, and even strangers for the overwhelming outpouring of love, prayers, and support. Your messages, tributes, and acts of kindness have brought us comfort and your prayers are sustaining us as we navigate this difficult journey. We are also thankful to law enforcement for their ongoing efforts. As we grieve and begin the difficult process of laying our daughter to rest, we respectfully ask for privacy from the media during this incredibly painful time. In the midst of this tragedy, we also want to acknowledge the importance of mental health suppor...

When I first read this article , I thought 'who'd want to hire these losers?' The article opens by saying "A quartet of University of Minnesota students chained themselves to a campus building on Friday afternoon to demand the school president declare UMN a sanctuary campus and sever all ties with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, aka ICE." The article then reports that 3 of the 4 activists were arrested. Next,the article reports "According to The Minnesota Daily, the four chained students were joined by two others at Morrill Hall, and represented the groups Young Democratic Socialists of America, Students for Justice in Palestine, and Students for a Democratic Society." What type of employer wants a bunch of disruptive employees that don't respect law enforcement? If you had a business that relied on productivity and innovation, this quartet's resumes would be put at the bottom of the pile. Let's remember that Omar Fateh, 'the Mamdani...

The Daily Caller News Foundation, aka DCNF, is reporting "Removing adolescents’ healthy body parts under the guise of treating gender dysphoria could soon become a 'thing of the past' as doctors reckon with the reality of financial penalties." It's possible that changing the financial incentives for that procedure will stop these mutilations. Further, it's essential that disincentives get put into place. DCNF is also reporting "A detransitioner’s landmark $2 million victory in her malpractice case and the first major medical association’s new opposition to 'gender-affirming' surgeries for minors will force medical professionals to seriously weigh the consequences of offering these procedures, advocates told the Daily Caller News Foundation." Look at how Democrats have euphemized the English language. The word detransitioner suggests that the person initially transitioned. Was there some sort of breakthrough where DNA tranaitioned from XY to ...
