Yup, the Never-Trump Crowd Is Insufferable

My RedState colleague, Brandon Morse, has started the ball rolling regarding Republican/Right-wing Never-Trumpers. In his column, he states that “the Never-Trump "right" has no shame.” I totally agree, and I would like to add another point to this debate. I can’t tell you how many times I have talked to some Never-Trump Republicans – several are acquaintances of mine – and the debate always goes along the same lines. I bring up a political topic having nothing to do with Donald Trump (I avoid the subject around them, for obvious reasons). The Never-Trump Republican turns whatever that political discussion is focused on into a soliloquy about how uniquely

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has avoided a snap election so far but sooner or later his time is going to run out and when it does, polls suggest he and his party are going to face a big loss to the conservatives. Today the Free Press published a story helping to explain why so many young voters have turned on Trudeau. As the saying goes, it's the economy, stupid.

Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy runs the gender clinic at Children's Hospital in Los Angeles. You can read an interview with her about trans health here on the Children's Hospital website. As author Jesse Singal explains in a report for the Economist, Dr. Olson-Kennedy isn't just any doctor, she's one of the most outspoken proponents of gender affirming care for minors in the country, i.e. someone who is quoted in the media on this topic frequently.
Her activism seems to have overcome her commitment to transparency. Recently, Dr. Olson-Kennedy made news for sitting on the results of a government funded study of trans children because the outcome didn't support her ideological commitments.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in U.S. v. Skrmetti, a pivotal case addressing state restrictions on controversial medical interventions, including puberty blockers and hormone treatments for minors with gender confusion. At the heart of the case is a Tennessee law banning these procedures for children, with the court’s decision likely to have far-reaching consequences. Will our country protect children from these barbaric and irreversible procedures or not?
As I previously reported, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson humiliated herself when she bizarrely tried to equate banning transgender procedures for minors with prohibiting interracial marriage. She began with a convoluted statement:

Multiple women's golfers came forward to praise and celebrate the LPGA's rule change on Wednesday that bars post-pubescent males from competing against females in pro competition.
The organization said in a news release that male players who have gone through male puberty are barred from competing in the LPGA Tour, Epson Tour, Ladies European Tour and all other elite LPGA competitions. The new rule will go into effect for the 2025 season.
"Players assigned male at birth and who have gone through male puberty are not eligible to compete in the aforementioned events," the organization said. "The policies governing the LPGA’s recreational programs
Former Washington Post journalist Taylor Lorenz has sparked outrage after she appeared to support the murder of UnitedHelathcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Lorenz, once a rising star on the internet beat, issued a series of controversial posts on Bluesky shortly after Thompson was assassinated in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday.
'Woke up to see this spammed in my group chats,' Lorenz wrote alongside a celebratory image that read, 'CEO DOWN.'
'People have very justified hatred toward insurance company CEOs because these executives are responsible for an unfathomable amount of death and suffering,' she wrote on a different post.

Trump Using ‘Y.M.C.A.’, Says It’s
‘Not Really A Gay Anthem’ 9 replies
Victor Willis, a founding member of the Village People and co-writer of the popular “Y.M.C.A.” disco song from 1978, defended Donald Trump using the single during his presidential campaign and said the tune was “not really a gay anthem.”
The 73-year-old songwriter wrote a lengthy Facebook post explaining that the popular song was based on his perception of the organization, saying he “knew nothing about the Y being a hang out for gays.” Y.M.C.A. is an acronym for the Young Men’s Christian Association nonprofit.
“When I say, ‘hang out with all the boys’ that is simply 1970s black slang for black guys hanging-out together for sports, gambling or whatever.
Over the holiday weekend, my husband and I ponied up $5.99 to watch the "Reagan" biopic on Amazon. It was money well spent, and I highly recommend it. The movie spanned many decades and briefly touched upon the fact that American hostages in Iran were freed almost the moment Ronald Reagan took the oath of office on January 20, 1981. Recall that in April of 1980, the Carter administration launched a failed rescue operation to rescue the hostages. "Equipment failure" was blamed after two U.S. aircraft "collided on the ground in a remote desert location in Iran." In the end, there was "no fighting & no combat" but
The Biden Paradox

If you think President Biden is the leader of a crime family and everything he says is a a lie, father pardoning son despite numerous vows he would never do so comes as something other than a surprise. When Joe pardoned Hunter yesterday, however, he prefaced it with a laughable statement. The White House has posted the text of the statement and the pardon here.
Biden actually includes this proposition in the preface: “For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth.” The proposition is refuted by the pardon itself. Like the man from Crete who propounded the famous paradox, Biden may as
Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, issued a statement after he received a full and complete pardon from his father, stating that he would “never take the clemency” he received “for granted.”
In a post on X, Matt Viser, a White House reporter with the Washington Post revealed that the younger Biden had issued a statement that he had “admitted and taken responsibility” for his mistakes “during the darkest days” of his addiction. Hunter Biden added in his statement that he would “devote the life” he had rebuilt to helping others who were “still sick and suffering.”
Making Greenland Great Again?

It was the summer of 2019 and President Trump was about to embark on a state visit to the tiny Nordic country of Denmark.
Both parties were readying themselves for bilateral talks, but that was before President Trump floated one of his famous spontaneous trial balloons.
Trump said that he had had a conversation with the Danish prime minister, stating that the U.S. might be interested in purchasing the island of Greenland. He said that the concept came up and he said that he would be interested in the purchase from a strategic point of view.
This did not sit well with the Danish prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, who has been described
The trans madness continues, as biological males continue to smash glass ceilings and female faces in women's sports. This past Monday, a Marxist activist in a black robe decreed that neither civil rights nor biological science factor into his reasoning process, and that biological male Brayden Fleming has every right to continue playing for the San Jose Spartans girls volleyball team. Brayden goes by his stage name Blaire, but I'll be referring to him as Brayden.
Without a hint of irony, judge Kato Crews opined that the delay caused by the filed injunction "would risk confusion." Um...I'd say there's already plenty of "confusion" afoot,

Senior White House officials are reportedly considering issuing retired Gen. Mark Milley a pre-emptive pardon over fears that President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration will go after the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The potential pardon for Milley, who was the nation’s highest-ranking military officer for part of Trump’s first term, was reported by the Washington Post Thursday.
Milley, 66, faced intense scrutiny on Capitol Hill during President Biden’s first year in office after journalist Bob Woodward revealed that the Pentagon official placed secret phone calls to a top Chinese official before the 2020 election and after the Jan. 6. 2021, riot at the US Capitol.

Report to Work Regularly, a Blatant Disregard

A sobering report by the Public Building Reforms Board paints a grim picture of federal employees’ blatant disregard for duty.
The report found that 94% of federal workers do not show up in person regularly, highlighting the poor service delivery and complacency in government offices.
The Department of Energy, the Agency for Global Media, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture topped the list of absentee/ absconders with abysmal occupancy rates of 0%, 2%, and 6%, respectively.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (7%), the Environmental Protection Agency (8%), the Department of Labor (9%), and the Nuclear Regulation Commission (9%) followed closely with their appalling numbers.
Federal agencies with the highest office occupancy rates include
Obama is suddenly very concerned about what the party in power can do to rig elections and weaponize the government against perceived political enemies. What curious timing.
While speaking at the ‘Democracy Forum’ the former president talked about the dangers of extremism and polarization. Isn’t it strange how this is all just becoming a concern for him now?
Obama knows his party just got wiped out but he still doesn’t seem to understand why.
The Washington Examiner reports: Obama scorns ‘doom loop’ of political extremism after Democrats’ election defeat
President Joe Biden toured the National Museum of Slavery in Angola’s capital of Luanda on Tuesday, delivering a speech in which he described slavery as America’s “original sin” and claiming it still taints American public discourse. “The United States is founded on an idea, one embedded in our Declaration of Independence, that all men and women are created equal. It is abundantly clear today we have not lived up to that idea, but we have not fully walked away from it either,” Biden said.
Biden said slavery was “cruel, brutal, dehumanizing,” an “original sin” that “haunted America and cast a long shadow ever since.”
On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) questioned the effectiveness of the Department of Government Efficiency and stated that Elon Musk “basically has made his fortune off of government subsidies” and Democrats should “come after the insurance companies, the big defense companies that are all reaping huge amounts of money off of the government. Let’s come after Elon Musk, who’s made his fortune off of taxpayers.”
Murphy said, “I’m just not sure that [DOGE] has anything to do with breaking up the status quo. You’ve put a billionaire, who basically has made his fortune off of government subsidies
After a screaming match between Acting Secret Service Director Ron Rowe and Texas Rep. Pat Fallon erupted at a Thursday House hearing on the attempted assassination attempts against President-elect Donald Trump, new details are emerging about the circumstances that sparked the outburst.
Several Secret Service sources question whether Rowe has perjured himself during the explosive exchange.
The face-off occurred during the final meeting of the House Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Trump when Fallon produced a photo of Rowe standing behind President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris at a 9/11 memorial event in New York City in September. Trump and Vice President-elect
The United States Capitol Police officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt during the events at the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, reportedly received preferential treatment from the law enforcement agency after Democrat lawmakers applied pressure. Internal emails reveal that House Democrats leaned on U.S. Capitol Police to provide extraordinary financial and professional support to Lt. Michael Byrd, the officer who fatally shot unarmed protester Ashli Babbitt, according to Just the News.
Some Democrats are so mad about Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter that they are threatening to withhold funding for Biden’s presidential library.
According to some reports, Biden and his inner circle have been caught surprised by the backlash to the pardon. They can’t seem to understand why this would make so many people angry.
There will be more fallout from this in the coming months, especially because Biden has angered so many people on his own side. If he ends up issuing more pardons, which is fully expected, anger will only grow.
White House reporters fumed at Karine Jean-Pierre for repeatedly lying about the Hunter Biden pardon during an absolutely brutal press briefing.
Last Sunday Joe Biden issued a full and unconditional pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, absolving him of any federal crimes committed between 2014 and 2024.
Hunter was facing federal tax fraud charges in California and felony gun charges in Delaware.
Joe Biden gave his son a blanket pardon after repeatedly claiming he wouldn’t.
Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) claimed Friday on CNN’s “Inside Politics” that the country was in danger of Jim Crow laws returning because voters did not prioritize democracy.
Host Dana Bash said, “I want to switch gears to something that former President Obama said.[Snip] “Talk of bridging our differences when the country and the world seemed so bitterly divided felt like an academic exercise, it felt farfetched, even naive. Especially since as far as they were concerned, the election proved that democracies pretty far down on people’s priority list.”
Sen. Joni Ernst has not made up her mind about Pete Hegseth’s nomination to be secretary of defense, but despite the suggestion of some of her colleagues, the Iowa Republican told RealClearPolitics during a Thursday interview that she is not pursuing that role for herself.
“I am not seeking to be secretary of defense,” Ernst said after some on the left suggested she would make a better candidate than Hegseth and after critics on the right accused her of trying to sink his nomination for personal gain. A combat veteran herself, she explained that while “I absolutely have interest in the military…”
Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Thursday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that “we’re in the fight of our lives” against the incoming administration.
Raskin said, “We’re in the fight of our lives, Wolf. There is an incoming administration which has vowed to turn the Department of Justice into an instrument of political revenge and retaliation and persecution of individual American citizens. We’ve got an incoming administration which doesn’t seem to care about any constitutional boundaries they’re threatening to impound funds that have been appropriated for particular purposes by Congress and use them for other purposes. That was, of course, something that Donald Trump did
