Democrats Prepare for the Big House

I came across an article today with a graphic showing a map of Washington, D.C. with tags indicating asking prices for homes that had just gone on the market. The article claimed that the D.C. housing market has dropped 36% in one week.

WATCH: Border Czar Tom Homan Ratchets

Up Feud With AOC, Anoints Her ‘Dumbest
Congresswoman Ever’ 15 replies
Tom Homan took his feud with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to new heights Monday, declaring that she is officially the "dumbest congresswoman ever."
That's quite the lofty title when you consider the breadth of non-talent offered by Congressional members on the left side of the aisle. Yet somehow, she has managed to stick out to President Trump's border czar.
The two have gone to battle numerous times in the past, but things have picked up of late, as RedState reporter Ward Clark has noted. Things came to a head when AOC recently advised her followers to “resist” and “create friction” in an attempt to disrupt efforts by U.S. Immigration and Customs
Last November, Democrat fraudsters bypassed the presidential race and focused instead on the down-ballot races. In Florida, local Democrat candidates received more votes than either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris at the top of the ballot. Something was definitely amiss.
For instance, Republican Rocky Rochford was running against incumbent Democrat Kathy Castor for the U.S. House seat in Congressional Race 14 (FL-14). The district straddles Hillsborough and Pinellas counties and includes the cities of Tampa and St. Petersburg. Castor was declared the winner, but Rochford is now contesting the race, claiming voter fraud, primarily by vote-by-mail ballots.
CRY MORE, Michael Steele: Fmr. RNC chair

takes TDS rage to new level with entertaining meltdown 20 replies
The former chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC) delivered an insulting on-air fit of rage over Elon Musk and his presence at the White House.
Michael Steele’s drama-filled meltdown on MSNBC included calling on Democrats to “get off your fat ass” and do something about President Donald Trump’s power and Musk’s work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
“What would you have us do?” Symone Sanders Townsend asked Steele on “The Weekend.”
The former RNC chair erupted in his response. (X) “I would like you to show that you give a damn!” Steele replied.
“That you got a little emotion about the fact that people are losing their jobs indiscriminately!
Eric Swalwell is a legend. Even in a party that features Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) and Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI), the California Dem Rep. is famous for his often preposterous takes, his affair with a Chinese spy, and his apparent gaseous emissions live on air.
But his angle on a recent small plane crash in Georgia is perhaps his most intellect-challenged opinion yet. The plane crashed in Covington, Georgia and tragically left two people dead. Rather than mourn the lost souls and show some dignity, Swalwell decided it was a good time to cast blame—before all the facts are known—and he knows just who’s at fault: Donald Trump.
Rating the Presidents on Presidents' Day
5 replies
Presidents' Day is a stupid holiday. We used to have two presidential holidays. One for Washington, who showed noteworthy restraint in setting the precedents that his successors ought to live up to — and that's on top of successfully commanding the armies that won the Revolutionary War. The other was for Lincoln, who saved the Union from rupture and was murdered for his efforts.
Washington (1789-1797): First president. Revolutionary War hero. 'Nuff said.
Adams, J. (1797-1801): Kept us out of Europe's wars except for an undeclared naval war with France. Expanded army and navy, good. Signed Alien and Sedition Acts into law, bad. One of our most thoughtful Founding Fathers. Worth remembering.
Jessica Tarlov, one of the liberal voices at Fox News, made a hilarious claim on a podcast last week that I couldn’t help but laugh at. According to her, the “chaos” of the Trump administration is already turning off his voters.
Her proof? She shared a conversation she supposedly had with a 20-year-old college student from the Midwest who comes from a conservative, pro-Trump family. The student, who had previously reached out for career advice, recently emailed Tarlov to express his changing perspective on Trump.
“I’ve really appreciated hearing what you have had to say the past week on ‘The Five’ and your podcasts with Scott,”
FBI director nominee Kash Patel has often joked that on day one in office he would shut down FBI Headquarters and reopen it the next day as a Museum of the Deep State. Rueful joke aside, he may not know how close to the truth he really is. The FBI has a sneaky little secret that has probably escaped the attention of its most ardent fans at DOJ. It's even possible that the cloistered and suited gangsters on the 7th Floor don't even know how easy it could be to topple the entire enterprise.
The FBI has been in the middle of countless scandals, illegal behavior,

New Jersey bans safe, effective ammunition

Among the things at once hilarious and alarming to those who understand and support the Bill of Rights—all of it—are the efforts of anti-liberty/gun cracktivists. This includes not only the operatives of anti-gun groups whose normal discourse is shot full of inaccuracies and lies, but the Democrat/socialist/communist (D/s/c) media who usually haven’t a clue of the science and reality of guns, ballistics and every related topic. That doesn’t stop them from grotesquely and purposely misinforming the public on those issues.
Every year at my home blog I update an article that illustrates the point. Years ago a reporter, one Gersh Kuntzman, wrote of the horrors of firing the most

The story of alleged cold-blooded killer Luigi Mangione has revealed—or should I say, further revealed—an ugly underbelly of leftist notions of morality and decency in the modern age. Despite the fact that there is video showing the 26-year-old University of Pennsylvania graduate from a wealthy family gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on the streets of New York City in December, there’s been a despicable amount of support for the young psychopath because, in their view, he did it for the right reasons. Namely, that he was objecting to the state of healthcare and the insurance industry.
While it is a topic that many feel passionate about,
Is This Why Biden Failed?
12 replies
Nate Silver has been a thorn in the side of both Republicans and Democrats. The former didn’t appreciate his liberal bias, while the latter was incensed that his projections were mostly bearish on Democratic chances of victory in 2024. What united both sides was Silver’s lengthy and, at times, elliptical language when describing why he came to his decisions, especially when it showed Trump was going to lose the popular vote but clinch the Electoral College. Many saw this as a cop-out.
With the 2024 election over, Silver listed a few reasons why Joe Biden lost, most of which you already know. Yes, he sprinkled in his leftish commentary,
Today, February 14th, is Valentine's Day — a Hallmark holiday in which we're supposed to show our loved ones how much we care for them by giving them cards and flowers, hopefully purchased at the local Hallmark store or an accomodating local florist. Yes, I'm a tiny bit cynical about that; you shouldn't need to set aside a special day to show your significant other how important they are to you. You should do that every day.
So, let's set that aside for a moment. Today, as it happens, is a big day in firearms history as well. On February 14th, 1911 — 114 years ago —

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced Monday that some $4.7 trillion in payments from the Treasury Department were missing a critical tracking code which made tracing the transactions “almost impossible.”
The transactions were reportedly missing the Treasury Account Symbol, or TAS, an identification code which links a Treasury payment to a budget line item, according to DOGE, which described the use of such code as a “standard financial process.”
“In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible,” read an X post from DOGE.
Actor Robert Picardo, who played The Doctor on Star Trek: Voyager, said that America should cancel Presidents Day due to Trump allegedly canceling “our justice system” and other causes.
Picardo issued his decree on the social media platform Blue Sky.“Being that papers straws, The Gulf of Mexico and our justice system have been recently cancelled, let’s cancel Presidents’ Day,” he said.

DOGE: report 24 replies
The Social Security Administration’s acting commissioner reportedly resigned over the weekend after a dispute with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) over the Elon Musk-headed group’s efforts to access sensitive government records.
Michelle King, a career federal worker who had been with SSA since 1994, quit over the DOGE disagreement Saturday and was replaced by Leland Dudek, the Washington Post reported on Monday.
Dudek, who has been supportive of DOGE’s efforts to root out waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government, will serve as acting commissioner of SSA until President Trump’s pick to lead the agency, Frank Bisignano, is confirmed by the Senate, according to the outlet.
ROME — Pope Francis is seriously worried about his health after being hospitalized with severe bronchitis, and is rushing to tie up loose ends ahead of the battle to succeed him. The pope was admitted to a special ward earlier this month in Gemelli Hospital in Rome with a respiratory infection, and he has since been forced to cancel a number of public appearances. (Snip) As his health has deteriorated over the last month, Francis has also moved to complete key initiatives and appoint sympathetic figures to key posts, following a progressive-tinted papacy marked by bitter ideological divisions. Since he became
Those of us of a certain age remember the Yugo. It was a typically Eastern European automobile of the '80s and '90s, small, cheap, and bearing a questionable reputation for safety and reliability. They were sold here in the United States from 1985 to 1992, with a total of a bit over 140,000 sold. Few seem to survive today, but then, the American auto companies in these years were still recovering from the late '70s to early '80s quality slump themselves. In the States the Yugo picked up a pretty bad reputation;
The ‘leaders’ of Europe got together in Paris, France at the request of French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss how to handle a peace agreement if Putin, Trump and eventually Zelenskyy come to terms. The outcome perfectly encapsulates the EU.
After essentially saying the United States would not send military troops into Ukraine as part of a peacekeeping mission, President Trump sent a communique to each of the leaders, “asking them to spell out what they would be prepared to offer to enforce a peace agreement,
(snip) said they would not send military assistance to Ukraine, without the leadership of the United States, and specifically without U.S. military troops
The Washington Post is reporting that DOGE fired thousands of government employees over the weekend, many of whom were on probationary status often reserved for new hires.
Many federal government employees were dismissed over the holiday weekend as managers confronted a Trump administration demand to fire workers by Tuesday. In group texts and in online forums, they dubbed the error-ridden run of firings the “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.”
The firings targeted new hires on probation, who have fewer protections than permanent employees, and swept up people with years of service who had recently transferred between agencies, as well as military veterans and people with disabilities
Kamala Harris Signs With CAA
19 replies
Former Vice President Kamala Harris has signed with CAA for representation in all areas, with a focus on speaking engagements and publishing. CAA will work closely with Harris on her post-White House initiatives, creating strategic opportunities that expand her platform in support of the issues she has championed throughout decades-long career in public service.
This marks a return to the agency for Harris, which previously represented the then-U.S. Senator prior to her being sworn in as the 49th Vice President

This weekend, Kamala Harris took in some Broadway.
And she reminded America that we truly dodged a bullet by not electing her.
She and her husband Doug Emhoff met with the cast of “A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical,” and she gave a pep talk that was in the style made famous by Damon Wayans’ “In Living Color” character Oswald Bates — a jailbird who delivers soliloquys which are merely a string of big words that amount to a whole lotta nonsense.
In the video, she was stumbling and bumbling through yet another word salad filled with meaningless platitudes.
To paraphrase Ernest Hemingway, there are two ways to descend into autocracy: gradually and then suddenly. Right now, we are on the bullet train.
With President Trump in office only a month, many say his “shock and awe” campaign — issuing executive orders to abolish birthright citizenship, defund national health, invade sensitive Treasury payment systems, shutter USAID, impound funds allocated by Congress, fire civil servants and the like — puts us well on the road to autocracy. And the presence of his satrap, billionaire Elon Musk, makes even Republicans nervous and underscores the anxiety over where we are headed.
The Democrats are stunned, wringing their hands.
Media elites are calling for a national boycott of President Donald Trump in response to the Associated Press’s feud with the White House.
If the establishment media boycott Trump, networks would likely suffer financially, while their biased coverage would not seep into the national discussion and distort the president’s actions. Americans’ trust in the establishment media to report current events “fully, accurately and fairly” plummeted to a record low in 2024, Gallup polling found in October.
