The punchline lands because Democrats earned it. They demonized white men, mocked faith, trashed football, attacked Thanksgiving, called borders racist, excused communists, embraced Hamas-adjacent politics, and treated America’s founding as a crime scene. Now their bench is full of Abdul El-Sayeds, James Talaricos, Francesca Hongs, Graham Platners, and campus freaks trying to govern real people. Surber’s Hitler reveal is obscene because the truth is obscene. Socialism plus Jew-hatred plus grievance plus authoritarian dreams does not end in justice. It ends in tyranny. Democrats need to stop pretending the monster wandered in. They built the lab.
You forgot the rahman Mohamed part of his name when you referenced the Michigan communist nominated by the communist party for Michigan senator. It is important to use his full name. We might have been spared Obama if his full name had been plastered all over.Remember: Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed.
Me too, BlasterJack (please explain that name) I was in a panic and finally realized there was no Monday Don! I am so happy you are here today. And, for the cat quiz, I was going to choose Hunter until I saw Big Don!!! Wouldn't that be ironic? But we know they are not that smart.
Democrat Socialist, National Socialist, what's the difference?
That's not a riddle. It's just a rhetorical question leading to the conclusion that, as long as you avoid using the acronym NAZI and refrain from identifying the most famous promoter of the Nationalist brand, you really can't tell the programs apart, as Don so well illustrates. But to the masses of unreflective lemmings who support the Democrat Socialist party and its candidates, Trump is Hitler and Trump supporters are the Nazis. Welcome to Bizzaro America.
The government educational system has been very successful in their mission. It is the only thing they have any talent for - destroying our children's minds and eagerness for the future.
I picked Mangione, not Trump. Trump, except for being a ruthless businessman (something this country needs to deal with the current world), has none of the characteristics that Democrats would love. Mangione is agood choice for liberal Democrats, however, as he is like Charlie Kirk's killer - hiding in the shadows, believing that somehow destroying the truth, or someone's reputation, or their ability to lead, by killing the person they hate, will somehow make them a 'hero' and not the pathetic, liberal lunatic they really are. Watch any real video of liberals surrounding ICE officers trying to do their job, or muslims (small 'm' intended for lack of respect) surrounding and shouting at Christians, and you will see the 'mob' mentality of the sick and the cowardly. The real Democrats, and I believe there are still millions of 'middle of the road' rational Democrats out there, need to take control of their own party, or they need to vote for the people who really represent their values and not the values of this fringe 'socialist/communist' led American hating, so called, 'democratic socialists' group (small letters again for lack of respect).
What values do Democrats actually offer? Really ever? They’ve always been only about power throughout their party’s entire history. They unleashed the bloodiest war in our nation’s history to keep other humans as slaves! If they hadn’t been pulverized by that war this country would have never survived as it has.
They offer nothing but subjugation to the almighty government. Just like Mussolini, their credo is, “Of the state, by the state, for the state!”
History has proven over and over again where that leads - and it’s nowhere good.
They are nothing more than Godless criminals, who want to rule over the ashes of everything of value this country was founded upon.
They need to be crushed into dust and thrown into the dustbin of history.
Too many people seem to believe all we need to do is defeat these monsters politically. I point out that we won two times over them with Trump and where has that gotten us with them? They scream their loss was fraudulent and that they are the rightful victors. They burn things, riot, and obstruct our agenda in any manner available. They need to pray to their demons that we never become who they have always accused us of being! As of late, many times I wish we were the violent white supremacists they cast us as, and we would ensure none of them could ever spread their contamination around us again.
Defeating them politically is just the essential first step, but the awakening of the citizenry from their slumber over the past several decades that got us here is what constitutes the long war ahead.
While the Dems go through the next transmogrification of their latest version of Woke, (which now primarily contains all the elements of antisemitism, communism and Islamism), an opposite reaction is just beginning to dawn on those who still retain some semblance of sanity in this country. We have a long way to go, but I firmly believe that cohort to be more of a majority than the destroyer sect.
But one thing stands as the absolute imperative in this long war toward renormalizing normal, and that is that that so-called party can never, ever be allowed near the levers of power again.
This election in November will determine whether we can endure to continue the fight, or will need to hunker down for what will only grow to become something far more horrific than that which we are confronting today.
I’ve not come across any middle of the road Democrats. Seems to me there are only the Democrats smart enough to keep their mouths shut while inwardly hoping the progressives/leftists/communists they knowingly allowed to take over their party win every election. I read all the time that the current Democrat leadership aren’t liberals, that somehow “liberals” would never be on board with the likes of Mamdummy, el Sid, Sandy Cortez, etc., but “liberals” are the ones who promoted these dangerous anti-Americans to fellow Democrats. I keep saying - our Democrat voting friends and family are completely aware of and OK with the leadership of their disgusting party.
Okay, maybe there aren't enough sane ones left to make a difference, but that is a very sad state for humanity in general. I do believe if you don't like the way things are done here, please get a ticket to some other place to live, but you can't fix stupid, and there are a lot of stupid people out there ... I was just hoping they weren't maybe all Democrats.
The middle of the road Dems are commonly referred to as Blue Dog Democrats....fiscally conservative and socially liberal. They do not generally vote straight ticket. They are also generally older from time frame in which people had manners. Those older people who no longer respect manners of civil society generally do so because they have now lived through 2+ generations of extremely rude, in your face young people.
The only thing you find in the middle of the road is a dead skunk. There are no moderate Dems, only those who choose to stay silent and let others chant their hatred.
Well….Mr. Closed Mind….color me a dead skunk in the middle of the road….I know many people who were like me: fiscally conservative and socially liberal who were registered Democrats who voted cross ballot…In fact, if the Dems were not so far left these days and controlled in their policies, there are many local contests in which I would cross that line rather than vote for the running Republican. Instead, I will most likely leave some individual contests blank instead of voting for a known incompetent Republican or someone posing as a Republican who will act as a Democrat when in office.
I registered as a Democrat back when you had to be 21 to vote. I was straight out of college and didn’t know the difference (just like today’s “straight out of college” voters) between the parties. In the end, it makes no difference which party you are registered with. It’s how you vote that counts. And that is between you and the ballot.
So, Mr. Closed Mind with little experience outside of your secluded life, there are many people who fall into the category of Blue Dog Democrat. There is no coined word that I know of to counter that on the Republican side.
That's funny. You did leave the Dems didn't you because you still sound like one. I also started out as a Dem and Carter and Reagan turned me into a Republican. Anyone who has stayed as a Dem anytime in the last couple of decades fits my description perfectly. Lighten up.
I sound like a Dem? Really? How so? What does a Dem sound like? Wants ICE to get all illegals out? Wants voting to be as it used to be? Show your ID? What aspect of “sounding like a Dem” are you referring to? The problem with FB and Substack etc is that there are too many people on it with a limited scope of experiences and all they am say is to regurgitate what others say.
There are still Dems out there who believe their party is the party of JFK. And yet they still vote for and support the crazies who JFK would have deported or jailed. Go figure that out.
If you are an active Democrat, you are a complete and total scumbag and a worthless POS. No more sugar-coating these vermin. Supposedly decent people who are Democrats see nothing wrong by laughing that they have a bullet just for Trump. My best friend told me that he recently was leaving his Catholic Mass and still sitting in the pew when another churchgoer told him he was praying that someone would kill Trump! In church immediately after communion! These people are twisted, sick, and damaged beyond any hope of repair. And they wouldn't even have a clue as to why they want him dead. Their queen bee tells them Trump is bad and needs to be killed. And they eagerly agree.
I too picked Mangione. He embodies the massive self-righteousness of the Left, that is so convinced that their assessment of who is a villain is correct, that they are entitled to kill them.
As to your statement "I believe there are still millions of 'middle of the road' rational Democrats out there,.."; I would phrase it differently. There are indeed millions of Democrats right now who are OTHERWISE very intelligent and decent people, but they are NOT "rational" when it comes to politics. The Left has some kind of "emotional" hook in them that is overriding their rationality.
This is the most crucial segment of the American population that we need to wake up. If this segment of Democrats were to wake up, the Democratic party would be utterly and permanently demolished.
HOWEVER, just last night I was having a conversation with a friend whose spirituality I highly respect, and it veered into politics. Over the years I've poured out my heart trying to make her aware of what was going on, but she had moved into the Democratic camp, and last night I realized she is more entrenched than ever in the "Trump Bad" belief system. I also recently had some extended time with my family who were here on vacation--highly intelligent (LITERAL Valedictorians), but all steeped in the academia mindset, more firmly than ever before.
But it is increasingly obvious how far out of touch with reality they are. There is some psychological factor that has got a huge grip on this segment of Democrats. It is true cult behavior-- they don't want to discuss, they don't want to even hear, they won't even look at or read ANY news from the Right. Cults are characterized by training their members to NOT interact with the outside society, because encountering the ideas in the outside society would PIERCE the Cult belief system. Anyone who doesn't believe in the Cult's beliefs is to be shunned, avoided, (mentally, if not physically; tho often physically, too).
This has become so extreme, that they have now become actually childish. They are like ostriches that stick their head in the sand; and like the toddler that hides behind their mother's legs in the belief that if they can't see the stranger, the stranger can't see them.
It is incredible that a "smart" segment of the American population can be made to voluntarily cut themselves off from any information that challenges the narrative they are relentlessly fed by the corrupt Left media.
"Mass formation psychosis" appears to be a real thing. The only antidote I can think of is to continue to simultaneously love and respect them but also persist in challenging the "bubble" they are living in. If enough of us (and we are the majority of the country) do this persistently without being intimidated away from them, something has got to break, and they are going to start waking up.
My sweet baby sister, born on my 5th birthday, who grew up with a wonderful Baptist mother and attended the College of Charleston has this condition. She moved to California with her new husband and then to Portland OR. When I first visited Portland 30 years ago, it was beautiful and well managed. Now my sis advocates all the nonsense there and is a victim of immersion in a cult like environment.
MSM and NPR cheerleaders keep the fire burning. Me and my two sisters still love her and pray for her recovery…
Perfect example of the cultish, ostrich behavior is the elevation of Jason Arday (his subsequent apparent suicide sad; They “groomed” him to believe that adulation would never end, and when it did, he did not have the strength to withstand humiliation).
Now academia and its minions cry foul though they are to blame for their DEI principles that belie objective reality and merit.
You will never change their hearts or their minds. They are FUBAR. They hate YOU! Anyone who supports Trump is exactly the same to them as him. They are mentally insane and trigger easily. Notice how it is only people like you and me that try and tip toe lightly around these people so as not to stir them. They have no such regard or caution regarding you or me. They will say and do anything they want because they feel they are superior and entitled. You will never change any of them.
I also picked Luigi & oddly w/o even thinking about it. Actually the question is a non starter because there is no way for a party immersed in toxic feminism to attract its opposite. After all the natural sex drive is the ultimate source of toxic masculinity. In fact, I contend that is the reason they hate Trump so much. Watched an interview with Naomi Wolff & Miranda Devine & Miranda put the question out as to why liberal (& I use that term loosely) are so unhappy (aka Jennifer Welch like) & Naomi stated the obvious. Where is Sigmund Freud when you need him.
I also picked Mangione, for almost the same reason plus I am positively FLOORED by the following of stupid women who don’t care that he committed cold blooded murder. It literally blows my mind, the following that he commands.
He's physically attractive, and "bold"--meaning, he's willing to kill. So out of one side of their mouth, the bemoan "toxic masculinity". On the other side, they swoon over a cold-blooded handsome killer.
As islam spread across Africa, they murdered many of those who refused to convert. Not all, they took the desirable women and slight young boys to be slaves in Iran and Saudi Arabia. They castrated the boys and the sons of the female slaves. Later, they saw that there was money to be made in selling healthy men in the Atlantic slave market.
The slaves who came to the United States won the lottery. The ones who went to South America or the Caribbean accounted for the vast majority and also the vast majority of deaths. Because of the limitations put on the US slave trade, those here were more highly valued, they were darn near irreplaceable.
I'm not saying that slavery was good, just that the ones who came here were the best off.
Today much of Africa is a hell hole. Islam continues to destroy their chances at civilization where it is spreading, and the lash back from colonialism has crippled Rhodesia and is in the process of destroying South Africa now.
No it does not help because I’ve read and written about the Trans-Saharan slave trade conducted by the Ottoman Empire and other Islamic entities several times over the past decade.
I asked another person to specify about *East African* slave trade, a topic he brought up in response to my assertion about the Trans-Saharan trade.
I wanted to find out if he was differentiating between the two because there really is no difference.
But I didn’t want to make presumptions like some seem to be doing with me. I wasn’t asking for a history of slavery on the entire continent.
If you had actually done *any* reading about East Africa, my last name might have given you pause before you typed out your ignorant presumption, Ms. Daniels.
Took the words from my mouth. Read recently that white Europeans taken into slavery by the Moslem Ottoman empire through early 19th Century exceeded 1 million people.
It is particularly fascinating as our founders (Jefferson iirc) dealt with the so called Barbary Pirates in the early years of this country. We had moral clarity then.
Mike Rodgers is an IC snake. He's defended the CIA, FBI, and Hillary's State Department from scrutiny during the Benghazi mess that underpinned the 2016 election manipulation. He was the Chair of the SSCI and wrote the fabricated report that covered for Clinton's Benghazi mess. My big question is: what strategy will he use? Bush's go-along-to-get-along or Trump's go-for-the-jugular? If he wants to win, he'd better choose the latter.
You're right. Rogers is not the strong MAGA-type that would be our first choice. But I guess we have to tolerate "incremental" improvement. As a "moderate" Republican, that MAY help him win over radical El-Sayed in Michigan. At least I hope so. Michigan can't endure another Democratic senator or governor. John James, the Republican candidate for governor, is also not the strong MAGA-type we would want. But again, he'd be a gigantic improvement over Whitmer and Jocelyn Benson.
Mike Rogers is the person who alerted Trump that his communications in the Trump Tower were being bugged and warned him to move his transition team activities elsewhere, which is when Trump relocated the team to his Bedminster country club. Rogers, according to Sundance at CTH, is a huge white hat and one of the few good guys in the DC cabal. I think you are sadly mistaken.
You are the mistaken one. Admiral Michael S. Rogers alerted Trump. Mike Rogers is an IC snake. Everything I wrote came directly from the conservative treehouse.
Loved this clever column. Got the joke in the first paragraph - but like a Mel Brooks comedy, each repetition of the gag was funnier than the previous.
Sadly if one of the dem scholars could clone or bring back to life an idol it would be Marx or Mao imho. This is circular vision writ large in that there are no cases where it was successful and beneficial to the masses so it just needs to be done properly and WE solved the problem. The dumb just keep getting dumber joining the islamist cult not understanding they are expendable.
The demoncrat candidates are a new classification not to be confused with 'class'.
Collectively they strike me as contrarian extremists with a heavy emphasis on the 'con'.
I went with Hunter Biden in the poll. Gotta go with name recognition, success (track record) and the party theme of absurdistan. H needs more limelight and the media spin would be absolutely hilarious.
Welcome back Sir. The coffee was lacking ... something ... yesterday.
Don - we’re pleading with you to use your vast influence to rid Fox of Jessica Tarlov! Her scratchy voice is an irritant so severe I must mute her; please do something…
I am pro-Tarlov in the respect that she is the perfect foil for Greg Gutfeld to unload on. Her only weapon is faulty polls which she quotes ad nausem. I love the way he deconstructs her vapid comments and makes her look silly time after time.
I was originally thinking Ted Bundy but then I realized Jeffrey Dahmer was clearly the best. A real "man's man." Even better, he was not really an eater of beef. And he stands for so much that the National, oops, Democratic, oops, no real difference, Socialists love. Can you imagine Streisand and DiCaprio standing up and pointing out how he, all by himself, is dealing with overpopulation?
Obama jumped the shark when he proclaimed his intent to fundamentally change America. It was a proclamation of intent to destroy the country. Normal country living American heard him. They heard a con man proudly declaring his intent to steal the Rube's money. Normal Americans responded to the wakeup call. They found Trump to fight back. Then came Biden who emulated Angela Merkel by opening our doors to an invading army of Muslims and drug cartels. Now the Democratic Party is conducting a test. The question is, "Have we destroyed American education sufficiently to take everlasting power without firing a shot?" That goal has been at the center of Democratic strategy since the 1950's. The Bozos of various stripes and Muslims they are currently sending forth as test subjects, aka candidates, can only succeed where (1) Americans are too ignorant to see through the charades, or (2) are too lazy or discouraged to vote, or (3) the Dems skill at cheating overcomes honest votes. The success of the Dem's test is in jeopardy because Americans are becoming educated by non-legacy media and a President who calls out the Dem media allies every day. Even as Trump and others make war on election corruption, Trump proved that elections can be won despite thumbs on the scale. Bonus factor: Mamdani is damaging the Dem side by providing a daily dose of reality to the fools who would believe a socialist's promises of free stuff.
For the Democrats' Muslim politicians, and for everybody who is sick and tired of their endless carping about slavery, I've got great news: history's biggest slave-hunters and slave-abusers were the Muslims. And to catch them they roamed far and wide, "harvesting" slaves from as far as Iceland:
"During our month of travel, two or three old women died, who had been taken captive in east Iceland. Their bodies were wrapped in old sailcloth, and they were quickly tossed overboard. On the 16th or 17th of August we came to Algiers, the place where our captors lived. Straight after the anchor had hit bottom, the captured people were put on land, in a great hurry, and our sufferings, which God alone can redress, continued. When the poor Icelandic people were put on land, such a huge crowd gathered, that I think it was impossible to count their number. They did not come for any cruel purpose, but only to look at the poor captives. We Icelanders were separated from each other, friend from friend, children from their parents, and driven through the streets from one house to another, to the marketplace, where we were put up for auction, as if we were sheep, or cattle. The people who’d been captured in east Iceland were the first offered for sale, the men then being kept separate in some houses, the women in other houses. This went on until the 28th of August, by which time most of the east Iceland people were sold. We poor western-island people were taken to the marketplace in groups, each of 30. The Turks guarded each group in front and behind, and counted heads at each street corner, because the inhabitants of that place will steal such captive people, if they get the chance. When we came to the marketplace, we were placed in a circle, and everyone’s hands and face were inspected. Then the king chose from this group those that he wanted, every eighth … His first choice amongst the boys was my own poor son, 11 years old, whom I will never forget, as long as I live, because of the depth of his understanding and knowledge. When he was taken from me, I asked him in God’s name, not to forsake his faith. He said, with great grief, ‘I will not, my father. They can treat my body as they will, but my soul I shall keep for my good God.’ I and my wife and our two young children, the 1-year old and 1-month old, were taken from that place up to the king’s Hall, and there we sat, with the children in our arms, for two hours. From there we were then taken to the king’s prison, where we spent that night. From that time on, I do not know what became of the rest of the Icelandic people. I would like to comfort and strengthen the people with my words, but I cannot, and whether I speak of such things or not, my suffering does not lessen. Whatever happens, we are the Lord’s.”

Someone should ask Big Mo about the Arabic slave trade, which continues to this day, and how other blacks and Muslims were the ones selling the slaves to the traders. And does he renounce Muhammad's teachings about slavery?
You know what the $hitty part is in Texas? The state 'republican' leaders are demonrats who were elected as 'republicans' who promoted Talafreako. See state rep Brian Harrison's X feeds.
We have a similar RINO problem in blueMA. RINO Brian Shortsleeve is tacking so hard to the left in the primary against the stellar Mike Minogue that Shortsleeve actually supports Maura Healey’s chop-a-full-grown baby order.
I see Cornyn's aide got on board the Talafreako train. That pretty much confirms Cornyn had to go. A key RINO on his team is now unofficially a Democrat.
That is pathetic. I swear that at least 10-15% of people claiming to be on our side are double agents and are Republicans only for the purpose of sabotaging our agenda. Do people ever notice that Republicans NEVER accomplish any of their highest agenda items? There is always one or more of them that will ensure the efforts cannot succeed. Think about when we were down to the last decisive vote in the Senate to overturn Obamacare, and then our stalwart Dr. Evil, John the walking cadaver McCain voted NO! And then he went over to his Democrat Senator colleagues' staff and joked "Well let's see Donald make America great now!" I did not mourn this scoundrel's death one bit.
Watching Texas politics from the socialist state of Oregon it appears 20-25 % of the gop are dem lite/rinos as I fear the state is purpling before our eyes , see the islamists growing in numbers and nerve as they try to build their own cities. Add in the Cal escapees and MAGA/MAHA is endangered imho.
One ray of sunshine that might be a pleasant surprise for us is the Hispanic realization that they are more comfortable and compatible with us than with the crazy, anti-religious, anti-family Democrats. Also, many blacks are starting to feel more like aligning with us as well. Democrats have caused the crazy meter to go tilt and people are becoming uneasy around them.
I saw a black and white video of McCain giving a taped interview while he was a POW where he stated America was committing war crimes and he was against it. I saw this video myself. Back during Trump's first term I went to share this video with a friend and found that my link and the video had been scrubbed and was no where to be found. His fellow POWs called him "Songbird" because he allegedly disclosed the return flight paths used by Navy fighter jets after they hit their targets. I regard McCain to be about as low of a person as you can be.
It's disgusting. Republicans in New England are a peculiar breed. We used to call them Rockefeller Republicans or Country Club Republicans, but they are predominantly RINOs. I used to attend a local "meetup" of supposed CT conservatives and was always astonished how I seemed like Attila the Hun compared to them. They were mostly just Democrat lite. It is no wonder at all why the Republican Party in New England is a pathetic joke. They are just like the ones in congress in that they prefer to always be the minority party and pretend to be the loyal opposition. It's very difficult to win when you neither want to or even try to do so.
There's Republicans in New England ? Not much evidence of it but Bill O'Reilly said New York state has held the title of most corrupt state government for well over a century . Our fellow conservatives in the Northeast have been mistreated for a long time . Only one thing will reverse the process : election integrity .
I am rather a cynic after seeing too many close Connecticut gubernatorial races decided by cartons of missing ballots conveniently discovered in car trunks in Bridgeport always seemingly deciding the previously close election.
Texas has looong been coveted by Democrats, and under Abbott’s watch, and tjanks to the Bushies, and the Cornyn’s and the RINO confederates, they’ve almost succeed in accomplishing that goal.
If Texas goes blue we’re done for. And it’s damn close to happening.
The punchline lands because Democrats earned it. They demonized white men, mocked faith, trashed football, attacked Thanksgiving, called borders racist, excused communists, embraced Hamas-adjacent politics, and treated America’s founding as a crime scene. Now their bench is full of Abdul El-Sayeds, James Talaricos, Francesca Hongs, Graham Platners, and campus freaks trying to govern real people. Surber’s Hitler reveal is obscene because the truth is obscene. Socialism plus Jew-hatred plus grievance plus authoritarian dreams does not end in justice. It ends in tyranny. Democrats need to stop pretending the monster wandered in. They built the lab.
You forgot the rahman Mohamed part of his name when you referenced the Michigan communist nominated by the communist party for Michigan senator. It is important to use his full name. We might have been spared Obama if his full name had been plastered all over.Remember: Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed.
For me, El-Sayed says enough.
Whatever his name, I don't find him very tasty.
I figured out you were talking about Adolph long before you reached the big reveal!
Don, you left a big hole on my Monday!
A yuuuge sigh of relief today !
Me too
I was so worried!
Me too!
Glad that you’re back, Don! Praying that all is well in Poca.
Me too. I figured the wife found out what he really meant by a Bentley.
See: https://www.tiktok.com/@bruletova_/video/7674274923858152712
hahaha
Everybody deserves an occasional day off ...
Maybe he finally got that Bentley and went for a spin all around Poca.
I had to check the calendar for the day of the week to make sure I wasn't confused...
Yes! It was unsettling.
Me too, BlasterJack (please explain that name) I was in a panic and finally realized there was no Monday Don! I am so happy you are here today. And, for the cat quiz, I was going to choose Hunter until I saw Big Don!!! Wouldn't that be ironic? But we know they are not that smart.

Democrat Socialist, National Socialist, what's the difference?
That's not a riddle. It's just a rhetorical question leading to the conclusion that, as long as you avoid using the acronym NAZI and refrain from identifying the most famous promoter of the Nationalist brand, you really can't tell the programs apart, as Don so well illustrates. But to the masses of unreflective lemmings who support the Democrat Socialist party and its candidates, Trump is Hitler and Trump supporters are the Nazis. Welcome to Bizzaro America.
Socialism with a modifier is still socialism and ends in totalitarianism
And mass killings/starvation. Always, every time.
The government educational system has been very successful in their mission. It is the only thing they have any talent for - destroying our children's minds and eagerness for the future.
Steve, you could also ask what's the difference between a democrat and a national socialist and saved yourself ten keystrokes.
I picked Mangione, not Trump. Trump, except for being a ruthless businessman (something this country needs to deal with the current world), has none of the characteristics that Democrats would love. Mangione is agood choice for liberal Democrats, however, as he is like Charlie Kirk's killer - hiding in the shadows, believing that somehow destroying the truth, or someone's reputation, or their ability to lead, by killing the person they hate, will somehow make them a 'hero' and not the pathetic, liberal lunatic they really are. Watch any real video of liberals surrounding ICE officers trying to do their job, or muslims (small 'm' intended for lack of respect) surrounding and shouting at Christians, and you will see the 'mob' mentality of the sick and the cowardly. The real Democrats, and I believe there are still millions of 'middle of the road' rational Democrats out there, need to take control of their own party, or they need to vote for the people who really represent their values and not the values of this fringe 'socialist/communist' led American hating, so called, 'democratic socialists' group (small letters again for lack of respect).
What values do Democrats actually offer? Really ever? They’ve always been only about power throughout their party’s entire history.

I keep saying - our Democrat voting friends and family are completely aware of and OK with the leadership of their disgusting party.
Okay, maybe there aren't enough sane ones left to make a difference, but that is a very sad state for humanity in general. I do believe if you don't like the way things are done here, please get a ticket to some other place to live, but you can't fix stupid, and there are a lot of stupid people out there ... I was just hoping they weren't maybe all Democrats.
The middle of the road Dems are commonly referred to as Blue Dog Democrats....fiscally conservative and socially liberal. They do not generally vote straight ticket. They are also generally older from time frame in which people had manners. Those older people who no longer respect manners of civil society generally do so because they have now lived through 2+ generations of extremely rude, in your face young people.
The only thing you find in the middle of the road is a dead skunk. There are no moderate Dems, only those who choose to stay silent and let others chant their hatred.
Well….Mr. Closed Mind….color me a dead skunk in the middle of the road….I know many people who were like me: fiscally conservative and socially liberal who were registered Democrats who voted cross ballot…In fact, if the Dems were not so far left these days and controlled in their policies, there are many local contests in which I would cross that line rather than vote for the running Republican. Instead, I will most likely leave some individual contests blank instead of voting for a known incompetent Republican or someone posing as a Republican who will act as a Democrat when in office.
I registered as a Democrat back when you had to be 21 to vote. I was straight out of college and didn’t know the difference (just like today’s “straight out of college” voters) between the parties. In the end, it makes no difference which party you are registered with. It’s how you vote that counts. And that is between you and the ballot.
So, Mr. Closed Mind with little experience outside of your secluded life, there are many people who fall into the category of Blue Dog Democrat. There is no coined word that I know of to counter that on the Republican side.
That's funny. You did leave the Dems didn't you because you still sound like one. I also started out as a Dem and Carter and Reagan turned me into a Republican. Anyone who has stayed as a Dem anytime in the last couple of decades fits my description perfectly. Lighten up.
I have no intention of lightening up. Who are you?
I sound like a Dem? Really? How so? What does a Dem sound like? Wants ICE to get all illegals out? Wants voting to be as it used to be? Show your ID? What aspect of “sounding like a Dem” are you referring to? The problem with FB and Substack etc is that there are too many people on it with a limited scope of experiences and all they am say is to regurgitate what others say.
The Dems showed Charlie Kirk how open THEIR minds are, didn't they? And they keep trying to impress that fact on Trump as well, don't they.
There are still Dems out there who believe their party is the party of JFK. And yet they still vote for and support the crazies who JFK would have deported or jailed. Go figure that out.
They don't actually know enough about the crazies to realize they are crazies, because the Left media buries that information.
If you are an active Democrat, you are a complete and total scumbag and a worthless POS. No more sugar-coating these vermin. Supposedly decent people who are Democrats see nothing wrong by laughing that they have a bullet just for Trump. My best friend told me that he recently was leaving his Catholic Mass and still sitting in the pew when another churchgoer told him he was praying that someone would kill Trump! In church immediately after communion! These people are twisted, sick, and damaged beyond any hope of repair. And they wouldn't even have a clue as to why they want him dead. Their queen bee tells them Trump is bad and needs to be killed. And they eagerly agree.
I too picked Mangione. He embodies the massive self-righteousness of the Left, that is so convinced that their assessment of who is a villain is correct, that they are entitled to kill them.
As to your statement "I believe there are still millions of 'middle of the road' rational Democrats out there,.."; I would phrase it differently. There are indeed millions of Democrats right now who are OTHERWISE very intelligent and decent people, but they are NOT "rational" when it comes to politics. The Left has some kind of "emotional" hook in them that is overriding their rationality.
This is the most crucial segment of the American population that we need to wake up. If this segment of Democrats were to wake up, the Democratic party would be utterly and permanently demolished.
HOWEVER, just last night I was having a conversation with a friend whose spirituality I highly respect, and it veered into politics. Over the years I've poured out my heart trying to make her aware of what was going on, but she had moved into the Democratic camp, and last night I realized she is more entrenched than ever in the "Trump Bad" belief system. I also recently had some extended time with my family who were here on vacation--highly intelligent (LITERAL Valedictorians), but all steeped in the academia mindset, more firmly than ever before.
But it is increasingly obvious how far out of touch with reality they are. There is some psychological factor that has got a huge grip on this segment of Democrats. It is true cult behavior-- they don't want to discuss, they don't want to even hear, they won't even look at or read ANY news from the Right. Cults are characterized by training their members to NOT interact with the outside society, because encountering the ideas in the outside society would PIERCE the Cult belief system. Anyone who doesn't believe in the Cult's beliefs is to be shunned, avoided, (mentally, if not physically; tho often physically, too).
This has become so extreme, that they have now become actually childish. They are like ostriches that stick their head in the sand; and like the toddler that hides behind their mother's legs in the belief that if they can't see the stranger, the stranger can't see them.
It is incredible that a "smart" segment of the American population can be made to voluntarily cut themselves off from any information that challenges the narrative they are relentlessly fed by the corrupt Left media.
"Mass formation psychosis" appears to be a real thing. The only antidote I can think of is to continue to simultaneously love and respect them but also persist in challenging the "bubble" they are living in. If enough of us (and we are the majority of the country) do this persistently without being intimidated away from them, something has got to break, and they are going to start waking up.
My sweet baby sister, born on my 5th birthday, who grew up with a wonderful Baptist mother and attended the College of Charleston has this condition. She moved to California with her new husband and then to Portland OR. When I first visited Portland 30 years ago, it was beautiful and well managed. Now my sis advocates all the nonsense there and is a victim of immersion in a cult like environment.
MSM and NPR cheerleaders keep the fire burning. Me and my two sisters still love her and pray for her recovery…
Perfect example of the cultish, ostrich behavior is the elevation of Jason Arday (his subsequent apparent suicide sad; They “groomed” him to believe that adulation would never end, and when it did, he did not have the strength to withstand humiliation).
Now academia and its minions cry foul though they are to blame for their DEI principles that belie objective reality and merit.
🎯
GMTA Marlene !
I also picked Mangione - what an evil, self-entitled, hero in his own mind creep!
You will never change their hearts or their minds. They are FUBAR. They hate YOU! Anyone who supports Trump is exactly the same to them as him. They are mentally insane and trigger easily. Notice how it is only people like you and me that try and tip toe lightly around these people so as not to stir them. They have no such regard or caution regarding you or me. They will say and do anything they want because they feel they are superior and entitled. You will never change any of them.
I also picked Luigi & oddly w/o even thinking about it. Actually the question is a non starter because there is no way for a party immersed in toxic feminism to attract its opposite. After all the natural sex drive is the ultimate source of toxic masculinity. In fact, I contend that is the reason they hate Trump so much. Watched an interview with Naomi Wolff & Miranda Devine & Miranda put the question out as to why liberal (& I use that term loosely) are so unhappy (aka Jennifer Welch like) & Naomi stated the obvious. Where is Sigmund Freud when you need him.
Beautiful comment, TPG. Excellnt thoughts.
I also picked Mangione, for almost the same reason plus I am positively FLOORED by the following of stupid women who don’t care that he committed cold blooded murder. It literally blows my mind, the following that he commands.
He's physically attractive, and "bold"--meaning, he's willing to kill. So out of one side of their mouth, the bemoan "toxic masculinity". On the other side, they swoon over a cold-blooded handsome killer.
Their hypocrisy is astounding yet they are blind to it. Blows my mind!
Think of the libs who wanted to marry Ted Bundy and Charles Manson, any grasp at renown will suffice to replace self hate and low esteem. jmho
Has El Sayad mentioned the Trans-Saharan slave trade yet? I won’t hold my breath.
This. Muslims have been enslaving people for 1400 years (give or take). Mike Roger's needs to throw that back at him early and often.
Or the East African Slave Trade? Inconvenient history.
Specify, please.
As islam spread across Africa, they murdered many of those who refused to convert. Not all, they took the desirable women and slight young boys to be slaves in Iran and Saudi Arabia. They castrated the boys and the sons of the female slaves. Later, they saw that there was money to be made in selling healthy men in the Atlantic slave market.
The slaves who came to the United States won the lottery. The ones who went to South America or the Caribbean accounted for the vast majority and also the vast majority of deaths. Because of the limitations put on the US slave trade, those here were more highly valued, they were darn near irreplaceable.
I'm not saying that slavery was good, just that the ones who came here were the best off.
Today much of Africa is a hell hole. Islam continues to destroy their chances at civilization where it is spreading, and the lash back from colonialism has crippled Rhodesia and is in the process of destroying South Africa now.
Hope this helps.
Dead on JR .
No it does not help because I’ve read and written about the Trans-Saharan slave trade conducted by the Ottoman Empire and other Islamic entities several times over the past decade.
I asked another person to specify about *East African* slave trade, a topic he brought up in response to my assertion about the Trans-Saharan trade.
I wanted to find out if he was differentiating between the two because there really is no difference.
But I didn’t want to make presumptions like some seem to be doing with me. I wasn’t asking for a history of slavery on the entire continent.
I asked for specifics.
Read a little history. It could help—but I doubt it.
If you had actually done *any* reading about East Africa, my last name might have given you pause before you typed out your ignorant presumption, Ms. Daniels.
But I doubt it.
“Don’t you know who I am?” you asked arrogantly. Hahahaha! I have no idea who you are and less interest in finding out.
You seem to be the one who has trouble reading.
I don’t care if you know who I am. I asked you if you knew the origin of my last name. Apparently you don’t.
You’re a fraud. You don’t know jack shit about East Africa.
Took the words from my mouth. Read recently that white Europeans taken into slavery by the Moslem Ottoman empire through early 19th Century exceeded 1 million people.
I read a book about this some years back: White Slaves, African Masters.
It is particularly fascinating as our founders (Jefferson iirc) dealt with the so called Barbary Pirates in the early years of this country. We had moral clarity then.
Birth of the USMC.
Mike Rodgers is an IC snake. He's defended the CIA, FBI, and Hillary's State Department from scrutiny during the Benghazi mess that underpinned the 2016 election manipulation. He was the Chair of the SSCI and wrote the fabricated report that covered for Clinton's Benghazi mess. My big question is: what strategy will he use? Bush's go-along-to-get-along or Trump's go-for-the-jugular? If he wants to win, he'd better choose the latter.
You're right. Rogers is not the strong MAGA-type that would be our first choice. But I guess we have to tolerate "incremental" improvement. As a "moderate" Republican, that MAY help him win over radical El-Sayed in Michigan. At least I hope so. Michigan can't endure another Democratic senator or governor. John James, the Republican candidate for governor, is also not the strong MAGA-type we would want. But again, he'd be a gigantic improvement over Whitmer and Jocelyn Benson.
Exactly, neither candidate was my choice, but I'll hold my nose and vote for them. Jocelyn Benson would be a disaster for Michigan in every way.
You and me both.
Mike Rogers is the person who alerted Trump that his communications in the Trump Tower were being bugged and warned him to move his transition team activities elsewhere, which is when Trump relocated the team to his Bedminster country club. Rogers, according to Sundance at CTH, is a huge white hat and one of the few good guys in the DC cabal. I think you are sadly mistaken.
You are the mistaken one. Admiral Michael S. Rogers alerted Trump. Mike Rogers is an IC snake. Everything I wrote came directly from the conservative treehouse.
You are right. I stand corrected. I did conflate the two different Mike Rogers.
I thought the same thing back when it came out. Then I saw the picture they showed and said that's not our snake.
See my piece below.
Subscribed. Which article would you like me to read, sir?
I meant my longish quote about Muslim slavers going as far as Iceland to get their merchandise.
Mondays are hard enough. Glad you are back
Loved this clever column. Got the joke in the first paragraph - but like a Mel Brooks comedy, each repetition of the gag was funnier than the previous.
Sadly if one of the dem scholars could clone or bring back to life an idol it would be Marx or Mao imho. This is circular vision writ large in that there are no cases where it was successful and beneficial to the masses so it just needs to be done properly and WE solved the problem. The dumb just keep getting dumber joining the islamist cult not understanding they are expendable.
The demoncrat candidates are a new classification not to be confused with 'class'.
Collectively they strike me as contrarian extremists with a heavy emphasis on the 'con'.
I went with Hunter Biden in the poll. Gotta go with name recognition, success (track record) and the party theme of absurdistan. H needs more limelight and the media spin would be absolutely hilarious.
Welcome back Sir. The coffee was lacking ... something ... yesterday.
Life is good.
Don - we’re pleading with you to use your vast influence to rid Fox of Jessica Tarlov! Her scratchy voice is an irritant so severe I must mute her; please do something…
I am pro-Tarlov in the respect that she is the perfect foil for Greg Gutfeld to unload on. Her only weapon is faulty polls which she quotes ad nausem. I love the way he deconstructs her vapid comments and makes her look silly time after time.
Good point! Forget to mention that Tarlov’s substitutes, particularly Leslie Marshall, are often worse.
Tarlov has the most irritating whiny voice I've ever heard. I thank God for creating the mute button
I kind of like her in a nostalgic way, because I loved Donald Duck's voice.
Jessica is much more a Daisy Duck…
I was originally thinking Ted Bundy but then I realized Jeffrey Dahmer was clearly the best. A real "man's man." Even better, he was not really an eater of beef. And he stands for so much that the National, oops, Democratic, oops, no real difference, Socialists love. Can you imagine Streisand and DiCaprio standing up and pointing out how he, all by himself, is dealing with overpopulation?
Good morning, we missed you yesterday Don. Hope all’s well with y’all
Obama jumped the shark when he proclaimed his intent to fundamentally change America. It was a proclamation of intent to destroy the country. Normal country living American heard him. They heard a con man proudly declaring his intent to steal the Rube's money. Normal Americans responded to the wakeup call. They found Trump to fight back. Then came Biden who emulated Angela Merkel by opening our doors to an invading army of Muslims and drug cartels. Now the Democratic Party is conducting a test. The question is, "Have we destroyed American education sufficiently to take everlasting power without firing a shot?" That goal has been at the center of Democratic strategy since the 1950's. The Bozos of various stripes and Muslims they are currently sending forth as test subjects, aka candidates, can only succeed where (1) Americans are too ignorant to see through the charades, or (2) are too lazy or discouraged to vote, or (3) the Dems skill at cheating overcomes honest votes. The success of the Dem's test is in jeopardy because Americans are becoming educated by non-legacy media and a President who calls out the Dem media allies every day. Even as Trump and others make war on election corruption, Trump proved that elections can be won despite thumbs on the scale. Bonus factor: Mamdani is damaging the Dem side by providing a daily dose of reality to the fools who would believe a socialist's promises of free stuff.
For the Democrats' Muslim politicians, and for everybody who is sick and tired of their endless carping about slavery, I've got great news: history's biggest slave-hunters and slave-abusers were the Muslims. And to catch them they roamed far and wide, "harvesting" slaves from as far as Iceland:
"During our month of travel, two or three old women died, who had been taken captive in east Iceland. Their bodies were wrapped in old sailcloth, and they were quickly tossed overboard. On the 16th or 17th of August we came to Algiers, the place where our captors lived. Straight after the anchor had hit bottom, the captured people were put on land, in a great hurry, and our sufferings, which God alone can redress, continued. When the poor Icelandic people were put on land, such a huge crowd gathered, that I think it was impossible to count their number. They did not come for any cruel purpose, but only to look at the poor captives. We Icelanders were separated from each other, friend from friend, children from their parents, and driven through the streets from one house to another, to the marketplace, where we were put up for auction, as if we were sheep, or cattle. The people who’d been captured in east Iceland were the first offered for sale, the men then being kept separate in some houses, the women in other houses. This went on until the 28th of August, by which time most of the east Iceland people were sold. We poor western-island people were taken to the marketplace in groups, each of 30. The Turks guarded each group in front and behind, and counted heads at each street corner, because the inhabitants of that place will steal such captive people, if they get the chance. When we came to the marketplace, we were placed in a circle, and everyone’s hands and face were inspected. Then the king chose from this group those that he wanted, every eighth … His first choice amongst the boys was my own poor son, 11 years old, whom I will never forget, as long as I live, because of the depth of his understanding and knowledge. When he was taken from me, I asked him in God’s name, not to forsake his faith. He said, with great grief, ‘I will not, my father. They can treat my body as they will, but my soul I shall keep for my good God.’ I and my wife and our two young children, the 1-year old and 1-month old, were taken from that place up to the king’s Hall, and there we sat, with the children in our arms, for two hours. From there we were then taken to the king’s prison, where we spent that night. From that time on, I do not know what became of the rest of the Icelandic people. I would like to comfort and strengthen the people with my words, but I cannot, and whether I speak of such things or not, my suffering does not lessen. Whatever happens, we are the Lord’s.”

Excellent history, Wim.
Incredible hypocrisy from Muslims on slavery. Mike Rogers indeed needs to blast Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed with this.
Someone should ask Big Mo about the Arabic slave trade, which continues to this day, and how other blacks and Muslims were the ones selling the slaves to the traders. And does he renounce Muhammad's teachings about slavery?
You know what the $hitty part is in Texas? The state 'republican' leaders are demonrats who were elected as 'republicans' who promoted Talafreako. See state rep Brian Harrison's X feeds.
We have a similar RINO problem in blueMA. RINO Brian Shortsleeve is tacking so hard to the left in the primary against the stellar Mike Minogue that Shortsleeve actually supports Maura Healey’s chop-a-full-grown baby order.
Evil abounds.
I see Cornyn's aide got on board the Talafreako train. That pretty much confirms Cornyn had to go. A key RINO on his team is now unofficially a Democrat.
That is pathetic. I swear that at least 10-15% of people claiming to be on our side are double agents and are Republicans only for the purpose of sabotaging our agenda. Do people ever notice that Republicans NEVER accomplish any of their highest agenda items? There is always one or more of them that will ensure the efforts cannot succeed. Think about when we were down to the last decisive vote in the Senate to overturn Obamacare, and then our stalwart Dr. Evil, John the walking cadaver McCain voted NO! And then he went over to his Democrat Senator colleagues' staff and joked "Well let's see Donald make America great now!" I did not mourn this scoundrel's death one bit.
Watching Texas politics from the socialist state of Oregon it appears 20-25 % of the gop are dem lite/rinos as I fear the state is purpling before our eyes , see the islamists growing in numbers and nerve as they try to build their own cities. Add in the Cal escapees and MAGA/MAHA is endangered imho.
One ray of sunshine that might be a pleasant surprise for us is the Hispanic realization that they are more comfortable and compatible with us than with the crazy, anti-religious, anti-family Democrats. Also, many blacks are starting to feel more like aligning with us as well. Democrats have caused the crazy meter to go tilt and people are becoming uneasy around them.
I think you are right, Marlan.
So many reports out there about McCain never being the "war hero" he was claimed to be, by his fellow prisoners.
I saw a black and white video of McCain giving a taped interview while he was a POW where he stated America was committing war crimes and he was against it. I saw this video myself. Back during Trump's first term I went to share this video with a friend and found that my link and the video had been scrubbed and was no where to be found. His fellow POWs called him "Songbird" because he allegedly disclosed the return flight paths used by Navy fighter jets after they hit their targets. I regard McCain to be about as low of a person as you can be.
Same shit just a new employer.
It's disgusting. Republicans in New England are a peculiar breed. We used to call them Rockefeller Republicans or Country Club Republicans, but they are predominantly RINOs. I used to attend a local "meetup" of supposed CT conservatives and was always astonished how I seemed like Attila the Hun compared to them. They were mostly just Democrat lite. It is no wonder at all why the Republican Party in New England is a pathetic joke. They are just like the ones in congress in that they prefer to always be the minority party and pretend to be the loyal opposition. It's very difficult to win when you neither want to or even try to do so.
There's Republicans in New England ? Not much evidence of it but Bill O'Reilly said New York state has held the title of most corrupt state government for well over a century . Our fellow conservatives in the Northeast have been mistreated for a long time . Only one thing will reverse the process : election integrity .
I am rather a cynic after seeing too many close Connecticut gubernatorial races decided by cartons of missing ballots conveniently discovered in car trunks in Bridgeport always seemingly deciding the previously close election.
Well if PDJT pulls off the post office endeavor, and the ballots go through the mail, they’ll have nothing but drop boxes to work with.
This is where Flock cameras might have an upside, provided of course we can keep the left out of power to seize them.
Election integrity is key but so is finding and nurturing good R candidates like Mike Minogue.
It’s a sin that so many R slots in New England elections are empty.
Texas has looong been coveted by Democrats, and under Abbott’s watch, and tjanks to the Bushies, and the Cornyn’s and the RINO confederates, they’ve almost succeed in accomplishing that goal.
If Texas goes blue we’re done for. And it’s damn close to happening.
Like we all know, fraud on every level is the number one problem in America.
