Every time Democrats try to go after Trump, they end up shooting themselves in the foot due to their unwarranted zeal. This time is no different. "Trump and Epstein!!!" Uh, still no.
But actually this is not a nothingburger, it's leftist collusion getting caught. So not only is it a nothingburger for Democrats, it actually is a negative burger; it did them actual harm in getting caught. Suckers!
Democrats are completely lost. Chicago had a ridiculous violent crime long weekend. But they do not want help. Why? Maybe they care more about the cartel bribes than the people.
Democrats who tried to skewer president Trump on business fraud, an ultimately doomed to fail effort, are one by one getting caught with their mortgage fraud pants down. It seems like every Democrat has been doing it. Here's the latest one, ousted Fed governor Lisa Cook.
Hand wringing by Democrats won't stop the clean-up of Washington D.C.:
Perhaps several dozen "hurray" cheers though. Democrats are in trouble in 2026, and I think it's becoming clear, barring something unforeseen, the GOP majority in congress will expand. So too says Newt Gingrich, no slouch in the political analysis world.
Ending the race-based redistricting - the cheating that has been helping Democrats for 6 decades - has been fixed. That doesn't mean other forms of cheating won't continue and that nothing else in the electoral process needs fixing. Far from it. Nonetheless, this is very good news for fairness, for Republicans, and one more thing for Democrats to rant about.
Come the 2026 midterm election night, this will be brought up again and again by the mainstream media as the real reason for the expanded Republican majority and will by no means be a mandate for common sense, er Republican wins. When that happens, remember to look at this: voter turnout levels and party support percentages. Don't be fooled.
You lost the election. You cannot stop the redistricting changes, so throw a tantrum instead. Babies.
Erstwhile Leftist Darling, AOC, is suddenly under investigation for ethics violations. Where's the pressure coming from? I hope it isn't Republicans. AOC is a walking advertisement for "Avoid Democrats". She's consorted with a communist mayoral candidate for New York City, angering what's left of the 'centrist' Democrats. She's kissed the Israel ring, alienating the rest of "The Squad". Outside of her district she probably couldn't win a free prize, let alone an election. And she's been whispered as a contender for the Democratic nomination for president. So her being in hot water is no gift to the Republicans. Hopefully it's some wing of the Democratic party behind this moving forward, because frankly, it's only a gift to the Republicans if they are not the ones pushing it.
This is what happens when Republicans actually play hard ball the way Democrats play hard ball. Let the Democrats whine about this. Republicans whined previously and it did nothing but cede territory. Republicans are looking good in house races for the midterms, thanks to rule changes they are making in places where they are winning. Redistricting, gerrymandering; who cares what they try to call it. Is it clean? Not really. But is it going to be effective? Yes, very, very likely:
Earlier I mentioned that Democrats need to face consequences for the nefarious activities. All of them. This would be rich:
John Fetterman continues to show common sense. I'm dumbfounded but not unhappy.
Maybe chaos theory isn't the right term. It seems like president Trump operates in a chaotic matter, but deliberately so. The tariffs are a prime example of his negotiation style - attack, retreat, attack, negotiate ad infinitum or at least until it lands where he wants. Another example might be the Elon Musk spat. It seems too sudden, too temporally coincidental with Musk's mandatory departure date from DOGE.
Now they have a feud? Right at the end of the administration? That seems all too conveniently timed to me. I don't have a problem with it; he's moving the country in the right direction on so many fronts, why worry about his methods and whether they are the best way to do it? If chaos is working at the moment, use it.
Trump is an expert at media manipulation and this Trump-Musk feud smacks to me of being planned. Musk just mentioned Trump is in the Epstein files. Now the Democrats are clamoring for it's release. Let's face it, they are so desperate to derail him that they'd grasp for anything, even if it means throwing Bill Clinton and any other Democrat they were formerly protecting under the bus, along with Trump.
Getting Democrats to flip so radically based on one hearsay comment? Too easy. I mean, I could be wrong, quite easily. But the pieces for more Democrat self-derailment seem to be falling into place insanely well. The flip in attitude is crazy. And staunch Epstein story questioners like Kash Patel and Dan Bongino suddenly insisting that Epstein did himself in, also seem strangely timely. As if to lend credence to the notion that Trump has decided that he doesn't want the Epstein files released. It's bait. It's a ruse that Democrats are all too happy now, to bite on.
Democrats have a 'men problem'. But in a relationship, there are two parties. In this case one of the parties involved is the Democrats. But they think they just need to learn how to talk to men, so that they can fix these men. Therein lies the real problem. No self-reflection is involved.
Sure, he's bitter Bernie, but he doesn't argue the point that's raided because he can't.
Qatar is donating a plane for use as Air Force One. This is not a gift to Trump, it's a gift to the United States. But that's not what Democrats got most wrong. President Trump explains it himself on X:
