The Democratic Party Is Collapsing

Original Article

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.

Yes, the Dims are collapsing. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of traitors. Yet, like any wounded animal, they are still very unpredictable and dangerous. Thank God, Trump the lion tamer is holding court in the center ring. MAGA!

What would you expect from a party whose only reason for existence is to "resist"? Of course they are too stupid and corrupt to "govern" as exhibited by 4 years of suffering under Bidet and his circus clown cabinet and they continue to demonstrate that by shooting themselves in the foot every time they try to "resist". And, of course, they are furious with Trump who they blame for all their faults and troubles. That fury fuels their resistance and blinds them to their peril, even if they had the ability to offer useful help in running the country, which it is clear they don't. While I might offer sympathy for an opponent in such dire straights, they don't deserve it and I hope they fall so hard and deep that the midterms are a blowout for MAGA Republicans and in the last 2 years of Trump's term, legislation can be passed to codify some of the things needed to protect against a resurgence of the Left. Such as making Trump's tax cuts permanent and extending them. Elimination of the DOE and other useless bureaucratic constructions. Plus removal of many mechanisms that have been used to cheat and steal. Kicking the UN out of the country. Permanently installing DOGE mechanisms for financial monitoring and requirements for annual SUCCESSFUL audits of each government department with punishments with TEETH for failing. Requirements for a balanced budget and spending within our income, i.e. no deficits, and a plan for eliminating our debt within a set timeframe.Plus punishments for the minority party for failure to negotiate a successful budget. If they fail to come to terms, any filibuster is null and void and the balanced budget is capped at last years numbers. Tyranny by the minority should end for critical pieces of the government.

We could only hope. Just like a rotten apple, it only takes one to infect the others and pretty soon everything collapses.

I wouldn't be buying a tomstone just yet. If the Dems are losing support it's not because of their outlandish behavior. It's because a good portion of the Dems want them to be even more outlandish. If that group can resurrect the Dems then we're in for a really rough ride. May you live in interesting times!

When the leftist people living in our midst are imploding and resort to howling at the moon, we can understand it because they have always been weak and stupid. When members of Congress resort to screaming, singing childish communist songs and calling us names because they are jealous and hate us for our good fortune in finally taking the country back, it really is a pathetic picture. Maxine, Hakeem, AOC, Schumer are finally getting the headlines that they have craved but at what a price?

Not until all voter roles, country wide, are purged and everyone re-registered with proof of citizenship, And 'vote by mail' outlawed except for those who have a disability that keeps them from going to vote in person, will we then be rid of the GDdemonrats.

In June 2021, Jon Stewart appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and ridiculed people that dismissed the possibility of a lab leak origin for Covid. He quipped: “Oh my God! There’s been an outbreak of chocolatey goodness near Hershey, Pennsylvania. What do you think happened? ‘Oh, I don’t know, maybe a steam shovel mated with a cocoa bean.’ Or it’s the f---- chocolate factory! Maybe that’s it.” At the time, former CBS News anchor Dan Rather called Stewart’s rhetoric “dangerous and short-sighted.” Washington Post columnist Paul Waldman fumed that “celebrities” shouldn’t be considered reliable sources of information and Forbes rounded up viewers uncomfortable with Stewart’s words.

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’ Brahmin Left Problem 5 replies

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.

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

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.

Elon Musk's attempt to unilaterally dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development likely violated the United States Constitution, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday. U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang ordered Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency to immediately give USAID employees access to their "email, payment, security notification, and all other electronic systems," and ordered a pause on any efforts to shut down USAID. Judge Chuang wrote that Musk's takeover "usurped the authority of the public's elected representatives in Congress to make decisions on whether, when, and how to eliminate a federal government agency, and of Officers of the United States duly appointed under the Constitution

Sacré bleu! Talk about a Napoleon complex. Some stories don’t require a lengthy set-up. They speak for themselves (and today, they’re parlez-vous-ing exclusively in French): France should take back the Statue of Liberty because the US no longer represents the values that led France to offer the statue, a French Euro-deputy said Sunday. "Give us back the Statue of Liberty", centre-left politician Raphael Glucksmann said at a convention of his Place Publique centre-left movement. "We're going to say to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants, to the Americans who fired researchers for demanding scientific freedom: 'Give us back the Statue of Liberty,'" he told cheering supporters.

A legal firm with deep ties to George and Alexander Soros’s network of left-wing nonprofits and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), is partially behind a lawsuit attempting to block President Donald Trump from deporting illegal alien gang members from the United States under the Alien Enemies Act, Breitbart News has learned. Over the weekend, the Trump administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act to begin deporting illegal alien gang members to El Salvador under a deal with President Nayib Bukele. The agreement allows for the United States to fly foreign gang members to the country to be held in a mega-prison for an annual fee. Soon after Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act

But that seems to be exactly what happened. Evidence has been emerging for a week that nearly every document Joe Biden allegedly signed after his first few days in office — every executive order, every pardon, every Congressional bill signed into law, every international treaty, every lifetime judicial nomination (including the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson) — was signed with not one, but two Autopens.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began striking Hamas terrorist targets across Gaza "in order to achieve the war objectives set by the political leadership, including the release of all our hostages—both the living and the fallen," the office of Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a letter. "This decision comes after Hamas repeatedly refused to release our hostages and rejected all proposals presented by U.S. President’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, as well as the mediators," the letter states.
