The Democrats' continuing fundraising crisis

Saying that Democrats have a fundraising/cash-on-hand crisis is repetitive. It isn't news anymore. Alpha News is reporting "Weighed down by lingering debt from the 2024 presidential election and low donor enthusiasm, the DNC reported just $15 million on hand by the end of June, marking the lowest number for Democrats in five years, according to Politico. By comparison, the Republican National Committee (RNC) reported nearly $80 million on hand, creating a gap nearly twice as wide as it was at the same point in President Donald Trump’s first term."

That's just part of the story. Alpha is also reporting "The DNC spent $15.8 million on expenses tied to former Vice President Kamala Harris’s failed 2024 presidential campaign. The Harris campaign reportedly ended with approximately $20 million in debt, after burning through roughly $1.5 billion in just 15 weeks to take on Trump."

That still isn't all that's horrific for Democrsts. Check this out:

The super PAC affiliated with President Donald Trump's raised $177 million in the first half of 2025, new fundraising reports show — with GOP megadonors, key Trump allies (including some government officials), big business, a secret-money group and the mother of a man who received a presidential pardon among those filling the group's coffers ahead of next year's midterms.

Even in an era of overflowing money in politics, the massive sum sticks out. It is a sign that Trump's political operation will continue to wield major influence even though Trump himself is barred by term limits from running for president again.

President Trump isn't doing too bad for a supposed lame-duck president. The simple truth is that Democrats are switching parties because people have noticed that the closest thing that Democrats have to a leader are Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom. What money person gets excited with 'leaders' like that? If I was rich, I wouldn't contribute to Democrats, either. This is a report that the DNC must hate:

The Democrats' fundraising crisis is partially fueled by the Democrats' lack of political talent. When the Democrats' pair of presidential frontrunners are Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom, you're in trouble.

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Has Sue Ek come face-to-face with DFL hijinks?

Image
Apparently, Minnesota state and county employees aren't that attentive to details. Last night, a frequent reader of this blog sent me a statement from House Speaker-designate Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring ." She issued the following statement regarding vote tabulation errors, malfunctions, and discrepancies that have taken place in Sherburne and Scott Counties: The errors and discrepancies we've seen this cycle are intolerable and unacceptable. A free and fair election demands sunlight on the process. These incidents fuel distrust and raise questions about the integrity and accuracy of election results. Without an opportunity to observe or respond Sherburne County added newly-found votes to the total. Just a day later, Scott County announced an unspecified "ballot distribution error" and "ballot scanning malfunction" that triggered an abrupt re-scan of more than 20,000 ballots. There was less than two hours notice between the public announcement and the be...

Is this Tim Walz's 'One Minnesota'?

Image
Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, testifed last Thursday that Minnesota isn't a sanctuary state. Predictably, Gov. Walz wasn't entirely honest with Tom Emmer during Rep. Emmer's cross-examination of Walz. During Emmer's powerful cross-examination, Gov. Walz insisted that Minnesota isn't a sanctuary state. Keep that in mind while reading this article . First, this article isn't for the faint-of-heart. Next, it's obvious that Gov. Walz isn't comfortable telling the truth. Let's get into the report. Pay particulalr close attention to the dates included in the report. The report opens by saying "A Guatemalan national convicted of sexually abusing his stepdaughter is now facing federal charges after allegedly dragging a deportation officer down a Bloomington street with his car during a violent immigration arrest attempt. According to a criminal complaint, Roberto Carlos Munoz, 39, was charged with assaulting a federal officer with a deadly we...
