The Danger of Nothing

I am chagrinned that it has taken me this long to understand the emptiness of Democrat dogma. I started realizing this some years ago when I began building a curriculum for the college logic class I was going to teach; I was searching for debates that were won by left-leaning apologists, thinking I should present examples from both sides of the social/economic/religious worldviews. But I began to suspect that such examples weren’t to be found. I found people -- mostly men -- who could slide around from one logical fallacy to another with slippery skill, but none did any convincing. Then came the Biden administration, when we watched the Democrat hollowness

So an unhinged leftist goes through downtown Minneapolis, casually walking his dog and keying Teslas as if it’s a hobby. Not just one or two vehicles, but six Teslas, to be exact, with damage totaling more than $20,000. Caught red-handed on video, arrested by police, and unequivocally identified as 33-year-old Dylan Adams, a state employee no less.
Seems like a slam-dunk criminal case, right? Wrong. Instead of holding him accountable, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty decided to give him a pass.
Yes, you read that right. The man caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage, but rather than face criminal charges, Adams gets the warm embrace of “diversion.”

Oregon pushes trans track

The Trans Superiority Narrative (TSN) tells us men pretending to be women are special. They’re mystically in touch with a higher reality, a higher morality, a more authentic version of their humanity, their true selves. This exalted, superhuman status means they have “trans rights,” which cancel the actual constitutional rights of everyone else. The old axiom: “my right to swing my fist ends where another’s nose begins” doesn’t apply to trans, particularly not trans boys/men who want to beat girls/women in sports.
Normal Americans expected to accept this bizarre interpretation of rights and to fully accept the TSN and laud the “stunning bravery” of trans have long questioned their
Earlier this month, 17-year-old high school student Austin Metcalf was stabbed to death at a track meet in Frisco, Texas. Metcalf died in his twin brother’s arms.
As an educator who lives just down the road, I know too well how our system failed to keep Metcalf out of harm’s way.
Karmelo Anthony, also 17, has been charged with first-degree murder in the fatal stabbing. They had never met before the track meet, according a witness. Anthony brought a knife to the track meet and sat under another team’s tent. When asked to move, he reportedly refused and became aggressive. Metcalf stepped in to ask him to move again, to which
President AOC? Yes, it’s a real possibility.

Sunday is a “clearing the spindle” day, and one of the things on my spindle has been Nate Silver’s prediction last week that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, aka AOC, is currently the most likely person to be the Democrat party’s 2028 presidential candidate. Frankly, I think he’s right. She’s telegenic, has name recognition, and manages to make the same politics that killed tens of millions of people in the 20th century seem user-friendly. She’s also Bernie Sanders’ anointed heir, and he missed the nomination in 2016 and 2020 only because the Democrat party panicked.
Last week, Nate Silver, while acknowledging that it’s early days yet, said he still thinks that it’s possible
Joe Biden has been back in the news, but if he was hoping to rebuild his tarnished legacy, he is achieving the opposite result as his gaffe-filled appearances have merely reminded us of why he was not fit to be president and was forced to step down from his reelection campaign.
At his first major speech since Donald Trump took office, Biden on Tuesday began before the music stopped (which meant no one could hear him), rambled on about “colored” kids, tried to fear-monger that Trump wants to take away your Social Security—which he weirdly called a “psychic calm,”
Can you imagine what would have happened if President Donald Trump 45 had the kind of people in his cabinet in the 2020 Summer of Love that he has now? I often think about this. When I hear of another of another Tesla bomber being busted by the feds, however, it gives us a pretty good idea of what those days might have been like.
Trump didn’t make it to the White House in 2020. The overwhelming majority of those violent rioters who torched multiple U.S. cities, destroyed other peoples’ property, did billions of dollars in damage, and were responsible for the injuries and deaths of innocent people never did
Is it Time to Ignore the Judiciary?

It seems clear to me that the broad scope and speed of the administration’s actions have knocked the sense out of the media, the Democrats and, alas, the judiciary. They cannot seem to process the swift and expansive range of change without making themselves look ridiculous.
The Press
I could describe many examples but the easiest most complete one is that of the gang banger, wife beating, human trafficking suspect Salvadorean citizen who illegally crossed out borders and resided here. You know who I mean -- the thug the press describes as a “Maryland Man.”
So the nation is transfixed -- or at least Democrats and the news media --
Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer notched low favorability among voters in April, according to a poll from The Economist/YouGov released on Wednesday.
The survey found that just 23% of voters held a favorable view of Schumer, while 51% of respondents said they viewed the New York Democrat unfavorably. The poll comes after Schumer faced enormous intraparty backlash over his vote to help advance a GOP spending bill backed by President Donald Trump in March.
Several Democratic lawmakers have notably called for Schumer to step down in recent weeks, including Democratic Maryland Rep. Glenn Ivey and Democratic Michigan State Sen. Mallory McMorrow. Some left-wing youth activist organizations
Climate Myths

I guess United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres didn't think his hyping global warming risks brought him enough attention, so now he says, "The era of global boiling has arrived!"
Global boiling?
Give me a break.
Yes, the climate is warming.
We can deal with that.
What annoys me is politicians, activists and media pushing hysterical myths.
Myth 1: The Arctic will soon be ice-free.
It "could already be ice-free by the summer of 2030!" shrieks a DW report. "'Doomsday Glacier' is melting faster than scientists thought," adds the BBC. "Earth's biggest cities are at risk!"
Nonsense.
"It's not happening at nearly the catastrophic pace that they claim," says Heartland Institute fellow Linnea Lueken in my
I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV, so please take it as a non-medical, totally unprofessional diagnosis when I tell you that Taylor Lorenz is a high-functioning sociopath with murder in her heart and CNN's Donie O'Sullivan is one of the many moral cowards in the legacy dinosaur media who enable her.
Lorenz, you might recall, is a semi-anonymous child of wealth and privilege who went on to become a tech and privacy reporter for many of the big media names after having her personal life scrubbed from the internet. Her specialty, even before being virtually fired last year from the Washington Post, is playing
Stephen A. Smith, the fast-talking ESPN “quick take” guru (and occasional beef jerky salesman) is, in a roundabout way, a colleague of Joe Rogan: They’ve appeared together on ESPN’s UFC telecasts.
Rogan, of course, is one of the leading experts in cagefighting. He personally competed in martial arts tournaments throughout his early 20s and was an eyewitness to some of the biggest, most dramatic moments in MMA history. He knows the trainers and the fighters like the back of his (fist); they’re his closest friends.
So when Rogan heard Smith saying something stupid and disrespectful about a UFC fighter, he called him out. Here’s a short,

Former The View co-host, actor, and the celebrity face of self-deportation Rosie O’Donnell told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer the election of Donald Trump forced her and her “non-winery child to leave” America for Ireland.
“I have no regrets, not a day has gone by that I thought it was the wrong decision. I was welcomed with open arms. I knew after reading Project 2025 that if Trump got in, it was time for me and my non-binary child to leave the country,” the A League of Their Own star said Tuesday.
“It’s been heartbreaking, I have to tell you,” O’Donnell continued before launching into a diatribe.
Soros-backed Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty will not seek criminal charges for the Tim Walz staffer who vandalized at least six Teslas in Minnesota, causing $20,000 in damage.
The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office will seek “diversion” rather than criminal charges.
Last week, TGP reported that a fiscal policy analyst for Minnesota Governor (and failed VP candidate) Tim Walz’s administration was caught on camera vandalizing a Tesla.
Dylan Bryan Adams, 33, was caught on camera keying a Tesla while walking his dog.

Michelle Obama is finally revealing why she missed President Trump’s inauguration in January.
The former first lady broke down the “hard” decision on the latest episode of her and brother Craig Robinson’s “IMO” podcast.
She called her headline-making choice the “right” one despite public “ridicule” while chatting with Taraji P. Henson.
The 61-year-old explained that she “basically tricked” herself into not attending the ceremony by making sure she did not “have anything to wear.” Obama recalled, “I was like, if I’m not going to do this thing, I’ve got to tell my team. I don’t even want to have a dress ready, right?”
The Supreme Court ruled that weekends and holidays cannot be counted when foreign nationals are given deadlines to leave the United States.
In a split 5-4 decision, a majority of justices on the nation’s highest court ruled in favor of Hugo Abisai Monsalvo Velazquez, a Mexican national who had been living unlawfully in the U.S. for years and ordered deported. Velazquez successfully argued that his 60-day notice to leave the country — which ended on a Saturday — should have provided more flexibility for weekends and holidays.
In an unprecedented move, the UK government is set to give the green light to experiments aimed at dimming the Sun as a potential solution to combat climate change. The Advanced Research and Invention Agency (Aria), which is tasked with funding cutting-edge scientific endeavors, has earmarked £50 million for this ambitious project[Snip] The funding will support outdoor field trials in which scientists will experiment with techniques such as injecting aerosols into the atmosphere or using marine cloud brightening methods to reflect sunlight away from Earth.
“Transgender” influencer and activist Dylan Mulvaney recently revealed that he plans on leaving the United States for good.
In a video posted on TikTok, Mulvaney revealed that he’s trying to move to the United Kingdom. “I’m trying to move here permanent [sic],” the 28-year-old told Pink News, which is a British LGBTQ+ news website. Currently, Mulvaney is starring in a production that will be presented in London called "We Aren't Kids Anymore."

Texas Democrat Representative Jasmine Crockett stated during an interview with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel that she would “absolutely” take on a head-to-head IQ test against President Donald Trump.
On Tuesday, Crockett (D-Texas) told Kimmel in an airing of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” that she would go toe-to-toe with the 47th president in order to prove that she has a high IQ.
“He also called you low IQ, I’m sure you’re aware of that. Would you be willing to take an IQ test publicly head-to-head against the President of the United States?” Kimmel asked Crockett.
“Absolutely!” Crockett responded.
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) announced Wednesday that he will not seek re-election in 2026, saying he would “pass the torch” to up-and-coming leaders in his party.
The no. 2 Democrat in the Senate posted a video message on X explaining his decision to step down after having served five terms — “longer than anyone elected to the Senate” in Illinois’ history.
“The decision of whether to run for re-election has not been easy. I truly love the job of being a United States senator,” Durbin said. “But in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch.”
The Trump administration has been mulling ways to get more Americans married and having kids — including a $5,000 “baby bonus” for every new mom after delivery, according to a report.
White House officials have recently been brainstorming plans to tackle the declining birth and marriage rates — and push more Americans toward the traditional family values of Trump and his allies.
Policy experts and advocates for boosting the birth rate have been meeting with White House aides to come up with plans to convince more women to have babies, four people who have been part of the meetings told the New York Times.
Democrats attempted to own the Trump administration by criticizing it for using real eggs for Monday’s White House Easter Egg Roll, claiming that Americans instead dyed potatoes due to the prices.
“Trump’s White House is using 30,000 real eggs worth over $15,500 for their Easter Egg Roll,” the Democrats’ official account — which boasts 2.3 million followers — said on X on the day of the annual tradition. “Meanwhile, Americans dyed potatoes instead of eggs this Easter to save money,” they bizarrely claimed.
(X) Many social media users were perplexed by the claims of these Democrats.
“Not a single American dyed potatoes,” one said.
Conservative Christians have flooded social media with support for Cardinal Robert Sarah to succeed the late Pope Francis because of his strong traditionalist stands on sexuality and church doctrine as well as his opposition to mass immigration and Islamism.
Why It Matters
The rising profile of the African cardinal, 79, comes at a time of ideological division within Catholicism, as the Church grapples with questions of modernity, sexual identity, and religious pluralism, and also as more right wing political movements in Europe and elsewhere have challenged what they see as the orthodoxy of a liberal global elite.
Unlike Pope Francis—who often leaned into progressive stances on social justice and inclusion—
The Trump administration has begun an aggressive shake-up at the State Department that will close 132 agency offices, including those launched to further human rights, advance democracy overseas, counter extremism, and prevent war crimes.
The plans to reorganize the leading foreign policy agency in the United States are outlined in internal documents obtained by The Free Press. They show how the State Department will eliminate or restructure hundreds of offices in Washington, D.C.—a revelation that comes after reports in recent weeks of a rumored overhaul at the agency. The State Department is bringing its number of offices down from 734 to 602, a 17 percent reduction.
