If you have had difficulty finding some reason to support the Democratic Party and its increasingly bizarre policy positions, you are not alone. Two national polls released on Sunday reveal that the party’s favorability ratings have plunged to catastrophic lows. According to a new NBC News survey, just 27 percent of registered voters hold a positive view of the Democratic Party — its lowest rating since 1990. Likewise, a new CNN poll indicates that only 29 percent of U.S. adults regard the party favorably — a low not seen since 1992. These polls confirm an equally ominous Quinnipiac survey conducted last month.

Well ... fortnight, really. Their bad week started on March 4th and continued through last night. And there's always the promise of the week to come!
After staging an embarrassing display of impotence during Donald Trump's speech to Congress, one might have thought that Democrats would have learned a lesson. Instead, as Politico laments, they were just warming up:President Donald Trump’s week was poised to be bruising.
Instead, the president is ending it on a political high after he and congressional Republicans closed ranks and, with an assist from the looming specter of DOGE, cornered Democrats into voting to avert a government shutdown on their terms. Now, it’s Democrats

The Democrats have become and remain today a “Brahmin Left” party. “Brahmin Left” is a term coined by economist Thomas Piketty and colleagues to characterize Western left parties increasingly bereft of working-class voters and increasingly dominated by highly educated voters and elites, including of course our own Democratic Party. The Brahmin Left character of the party has evolved over many decades but spiked in the 21st century. The chart below illustrates this trend.

New polling from Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio shows Tudor Dixon, the steel executive turned conservative commentator, with an early lead over former Rep. Mike Rogers in the Michigan Republican primary for Senate, RealClearPolitics is first to report.
Neither Republican has yet declared. Both are expected to compete for the seat left wide open by Democratic Sen. Gary Peters who unexpectedly announced that he would not seek reelection in 2026.
The key in Michigan: Donald Trump.

I'm not entirely sure exactly what Meghan Markle is going for with her new show, “With Love, Meghan,” but I’m pretty sure few people understand it for the true comedic genius Netflix has graced us with. Styled as part cooking show, part lifestyle show, it’s jampacked with unoriginal ideas and tips you’ve definitely seen on Pinterest before.
Don’t get me wrong — as a living, moving Pinterest board, “With Love, Meghan” delivers a fabulous aesthetic

Before the recent election, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability asked then-Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to turn over all Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) relating to ActBlue — not much happened. An SAR is a document that banks file with the Treasury Department pursuant to potentially fraudulent or illicit financial activity. Yellen stalled, presumably in the hope that the Democrats would win the House back in November and halt the investigation. That obviously didn’t happen and the new Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, is of course cooperating with the committee.This may well be what precipitated the sudden departure of seven senior officials from ActBlue in February.

When President Donald Trump returned to the White House on January 20, 2025, weapons shipments previously halted by the Biden State Department to the Israeli government were sent out the door - including 2000 pound bombs. "The U.S. authorized the release of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, Jan. 25, 2025, a munition that had previously been held back. The president told reporters at the time that those weapons had been paid for and that Israel had been waiting 'a long time' for their delivery," DOD News reported.

Donald Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night was the most powerful, rousing and pointed of any presidential address in decades. “America is back… and we are just getting started,” it began, capturing the theme of the night. The address ended with a peroration that his administration would “take up the righteous cause of American liberty” and “fight, fight, fight for a country our citizens’ believe in and deserve.” Our country’s “Golden Age,” he said, ”has just begun.”
Dozens and dozens of applause lines were planted throughout the speech as Trump laid…

We’ve been told that President Trump’s address to Congress tonight would dilate on the theme of the “Renewal of the American Dream.” And so it did. But for short hand, two ideas predominated. One was “Woke No More.” The other was “common sense.”
Both were themes of Trump’s inaugural address. I have expatiated on the theme of Trump’s embrace of common sense in a talk I gave to the Connecticut outpost of Hillsdale College at the end of January. The irony is that what should be common to all has been so uncommon in an age marked by perversity and ideology. Together, the attack on wokeness and the reinstitution of

Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy is one of the Democrats urging his party to resist President Donald Trump more aggressively across a broad range of issues. “Mr. Murphy has seemed to be everywhere, all at once, since Inauguration Day,” the New York Times recently wrote, “staging a loud and constant resistance to Mr. Trump at a time when Democrats are struggling to figure out how to respond to him.”
Murphy has exhibited the usual Resistance obsessions, focusing furiously on Trump, Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk, and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. And now, as he devotes his energy to

If you want to understand why last Friday’s Oval Office press conference between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky went off the rails, ignore most of what you are seeing in the corporate media. Anyone watching a video of the entire event, instead of the deceptively edited clips featured on most “news” sites, will see that neither the President nor the Vice President “ambushed” Zelensky. The first 39 minutes of the meeting were unremarkable, with President Trump attempting to be cordial despite the Ukrainian president’s Marvel Comics costume and pugnacious comportment.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy broke one of the cardinal rules of diplomacy today: Never introduce a surprise in a high-stakes meeting. This principle is sacrosanct among leaders, particularly when navigating complex international relationships. Yet, Zelenskyy employed a risky gambit, attempting to leverage media influence to strengthen his negotiating position with the nation that has already provided his country with $183 billion in aid.
At the outset of a press conference intended to pave the way for a formal agreement, Zelenskyy seized upon a reporter’s question
