UPDATED, 3/5: The Dems' Contempt for a Little Kid With Cancer During Trump's Speech Was Beyond Deplorable; Democrats even more repulsive than thought

Townhall

"HEARTLESS LIBS: It simply boggles the mind how Democrats refused to stand for DJ Daniel."

 "The Democrats’ reaction to President Trump’s first address to Congress since the 2024 election wasn’t out of the ordinary for these surly, puerile mental invalids. Yet, when you can’t cheer for law enforcement, that’s a problem. It's baffling when you can’t cheer for someone accepting to West Point. But when you refuse to clap or stand for a 13-year-old with cancer who wants to be a police officer, it’s deplorable. 

"What the hell is your problem? In the words of the late Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, “What is your major malfunction, numbnuts? Didn't mommy and daddy show you enough attention when you were a child?” 

"It was a wholesome moment when Trump made DJ a member of the United States Secret Service, which normal people would clap for, but Democrats are not normal. They’re the party of weirdo miserable wine-guzzling women, gays, and hyper-radical college whites:" . . .    

Wow what a moment for DJ. This is what America is all about. pic.twitter.com/VNV5cXdUOF

UPDATE:  Rachel Maddow: ‘Disgusting’ Trump Recognized Child With Brain Cancer   

"It’s so weird… I cannot find anything concrete that tells me DOGE, Trump, and Elon Musk cut off pediatric cancer research."

UPDATE: Trump’s address to Congress reveals Democrats to be even more repulsive than we thought    "During President Trump’s address to Congress last night, Democrats:

*Refused to stand for Laken Riley’s family, relatives of a young girl who was brutally murdered by an illegal alien.

*Refused to stand for D.J. Daniel, a 13-year-old boy who is battling brain cancer and who has long dreamt of becoming a police officer, as he was being made an honorary member of the U.S. Secret Service.

*Refused to stand for the family of the firefighter who was killed at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania, by a bullet that was meant for President Trump.

*Refused to stand — or clap — when Trump talked of the importance of supporting our farmers. (Didn’t the ‘F’ in DFL used to stand for ‘farmer?’)

"Some Democrats did, however, wear pink in support of women’s rights. Which is odd, since they all just voted against keeping men out of women’s sports." . . .

Democrats at Trump's speech: Not 'pretty in pink,' just plain ugly   

. . ."We’ve long known that the Democrats are obedient, like automatons.  They do what they are told, vote how they are told.  If former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi or House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told them all not to clap and/or stand even once for anything Trump says, that is what they would do.  That is what they did. They do not have minds of their own; the party is a hive mind." . . .  

Did The Borg Assimilate The Democratic Party Last Night?

Issues & Insights  

"What is this idea here? To show a unified party? Or to underscore to a public that already holds Democrats in low esteem that they literally have no ideas of their own, other than act like out-of-touch, angry, humorless, centrally programmed robots?

"When the president addresses Congress, we expect some partisanship. When Democrats talk about how they want to force people to do their bidding, Republicans don’t applaud. When Republicans talk about cutting people’s taxes, Democrats sit on their hands.

"But there have always been times in the past when the entire chamber applauds, sometimes members of the opposing party even stand. That’s because the person addressing them is president of the United States, not leader of a faction.

"Until now.

"We have never seen a spectacle like we saw last night. Democratic women wearing pink (pink? as a sign of protest. Various members holding up little placards as though they were at an auction bidding on who would come away the biggest loser. Others carried canes to, what, signify that the party is old and decrepit? The Democrats showrunner for the night deserves to be DOGED by his or her own party." . . .

 When You've Lost MSNBC: Hosts Slam Dems' Dumb Moves During Trump Speech

Senate Democrats Unanimously Oppose Protecting Women’s Sports

 Legal Insurrection   

Despite voting against female athletes, @Hickenlooper said he doesn’t think “transgender women should be able to compete in women’s sports if the other women object.” Sorry dude, you own this vote. No backsies.

"On Monday evening, Senate Democrats voted unanimously to block a Republican-sponsored bill aimed at preventing federally funded schools from allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports. In a 51-45 party-line vote, Democrats filibustered the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025, which needed 60 votes to advance.

"NBC News reported that Sens. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and Peter Welch (D-VT) did not vote.

"The measure, H.R. 28, passed the House in January. It “provided that for purposes of determining compliance with title IX of such Act in athletics, sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.”

"President Donald Trump signed an executive order, titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” in February.

BREAKING: The Senate just voted to invoke cloture to proceed with the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.

The vote was 51 to 45. . .

. . ." Why do Democrats think this is a hill to die on is baffling. It is a losing issue for them. The majority of voters agree that biological men should not be allowed to participate in women’s sports.

The First Lady's Guest List for Tonight Is Fascinating

 Sarah Anderson

   "You're supposed to be one of the country's great leaders, and you're face-to-face with your constituents, such as the mothers of young girls who were violently murdered. Your plan? Using hand-clappers, walk-outs, and egg cartons to throw fits because your side didn't win an election. No wonder these people lost." 

"When Donald Trump takes the stage to deliver his speech to a joint session of Congress tonight, his wife, Melania, will be in the audience, and she'll have several unique guests with her. But they're not celebrities or dignitaries. They're everyday Americans "from all different walks of life" whose lives have been impacted by "disaster wrought by the previous administration." 

"Some of the First Lady's guests have been victims of crimes committed by people who are in the United States illegally, like Allyson and Lauren Phillips of Woodstock, Ga. You might know them better as the mother and sister of Laken Riley, the young nursing student who was brutally murdered on the University of Georgia campus by a Venezuelan gang member who was not only in the U.S. illegally but had also committed many previous crimes. 

"Mrs. Trump will also have Alexis Nungaray of Houston, Texas, at the speech. Nungaray's 12-year-old daughter, Jocelyn, was murdered by two men whom the Biden administration caught at the border and released into the U.S. just weeks before they committed the heinous crime. U.S. Border Patrol agent Roberto Ortiz will be in attendance as well. While serving in Texas, he's been shot at many times by dangerous cartel members.   

"Remember Corey Comperatore, the firefighter who was shot and killed when a gunman tried to assassinate Trump at a rally last July? His widow, Helen, and their daughters, Allyson and Kaylee, will join the first lady on Tuesday night. " . . .

. . ."A couple of the First Lady's guests have been the victims of abhorrent gender issues. January Littlejohn of Tallahassee, Fla., is the mother of a young girl whose "middle school socially transitioned" her "to a different sexual identity without January and her husband’s knowledge or permission." Littlejohn is now a parents' rights advocate.  

"Payton McNabb of Murphy, N.C., a young female volleyball player who had to step away from the sport "when a biological man playing on the opposing women’s team spiked the volleyball at Payton’s face, leaving her with a traumatic brain injury," will be there. McNabb is now a member of the Independent Women’s Forum and an advocate for girls' sports." . . .

The Evil People Surrounding Volodymyr Zelenskyy

 Zelenskyy blew up this meeting at the behest of globalist elites — Rice, Nuland, Blinken and others — who are desperate to keep this war going.  

"For example, we know that Putin will sign no cease-fire where the U.S. either has troops in Ukraine or is obligated by treaty to put them there." 

Kerry, Obama, and Susan Rice.

 . . ."Over the weekend the New York Post’s Michael Goodwin shed even more light on why, 40 minutes into a 53-minute press avail that was going very amicably and cruising into completion of a half-trillion-dollar mineral rights deal which would have created the circumstances for peace between Ukraine and Russia, everything blew up.

A common criticism of Volodymyr Zelensky’s disastrous Friday performance in the Oval Office is that he failed to read the room.

Actually, the Ukrainian president did read a room — but it was the wrong room.

Before meeting Trump, Zelensky met with anti-Trump Democrats who advised him to reject the terms of the mineral deal the president was offering, according to Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.).

“Just finished a meeting with President Zelensky here in Washington. He confirmed that the Ukrainian people will not support a fake peace agreement where Putin gets everything he wants and there are no security arrangements for Ukraine,” Murphy’s office posted on X at 11:15 a.m. Friday.

He attached a picture of Zelensky at a conference table, with Murphy seated on the opposite side.

Forty minutes later, Zelensky arrived at the White House, where Trump met his car, smiled, shook his hand and walked him into the Oval Office.

The meeting, as the world now knows, quickly went off the rails and ended with Trump angrily ejecting the arrogant ingrate from the White House.

The earlier meeting with Dems undercuts wild claims that Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance staged an ambush. In fact, it was Zelensky who came with an ulterior motive.

The purpose of the meeting was to sign the mineral agreement he and Trump representatives had negotiated. He had twice refused to sign it after promising to, and thanks to Murphy, we now know he had no intention of signing it Friday.

By listening to the nakedly partisan advice of Dems instead of dealing forthrightly with the current president, Zelensky betrayed his countrymen and, for now at least, leaves them without the military and diplomatic protection that only America can provide.

"By Sunday, Zelenskyy had traveled to London and secured a commitment for, not a half-trillion dollars in aid for his country, but … $3 billion.

"And in the meantime he had issued repeated messages on X claiming his “readiness” to sign the mineral rights deal with the U.S. but maintaining his demand for security guarantees."...

Bondi Reveals FBI Delivered 'Truckload' of Jeffrey Epstein Files, Meanwhile Top Bureau Official Resigns

 RedState

Toon added by TD

"Two FBI stories broke Monday, and they very well may be connected. First, the New York Field Office’s top agent, James Dennehy, resigned, claiming that he had been told he’d be fired if he didn’t. Second, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the Bureau had dropped off a “truckload” of Jeffrey Epstein files after she’d set a hard deadline for their turnover. 

"Coincidence?

"As we reported, Bondi had promised to deliver the potential bombshell files, which she did to select independent conservative media influencers Thursday, but things didn’t necessarily go as planned. The files were heavily redacted and contained mostly information that had been made public previously.

"On that same Thursday, Bondi was notified by a whistleblower that the FBI had not in fact turned over all the documents as they had promised, so she ordered Director Kash Patel to deliver them post-haste. 

"On Monday evening, she announced on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show that now she finally has them:

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed that the Department of Justice has received more Jeffery Epstein files from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) after the document release she touted last week fell flat. 

Speaking to Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday [sic] night, Bondi confirmed that a "truckload" of Epstein files were delivered by the FBI after she gave the agency until 8 a.m. on Friday morning to deliver. 

Bondi said that officials will go through the files "as fast as we can," while also being careful to protect Epstein's victims. . . .

Desperate Democrats; what sort of clown show will we see tonight? Karoline Leavitt UPDATE

 Don Surber   

"I mean it is not as if far-left candidates are not running the party. Democrats dumped Joe Manchin but kept AOC and the rest of the Odd Squad."

The Great Capitulation continues as Trump’s enemies bend at the knee like he was BLM. The Associated Press reported, “Democratic activists fueled anti-Trump protests at GOP town halls but also rage at their own party.”

"Ah. I see. AP openly admits the protests were not a grassroots effort but lefty kabuki theater with paid actors.

"Before Trump kicked AP out of the Oval Office and off Air Force One, the Hamas-shielding outlet would not have bothered reporting that the crowds at townhall meetings were Democrat actors. Access is everything in journalism. AP wants its back.

"The news channels have ditched some of Trump’s biggest nuisances in the quest for returning ratings to the levels of Trump’s first term. Joy Reid, Woodchuck Todd and Jimmy the Geek Acosta have departed either voluntarily or by the collar and belt by management throwing them out the door.

"This reflects a disinterest in four more years of on-air tantrums over Trump." . . .

. . ."Democrats are desperate. Under Obama, they followed the money and worked for the elitists. This made Obama rich but cost the party its traditional base of the middle-class. I don’t think the people they sneered at want them back." . . .

Tonight will we see Hamas scarves?

. . .Democrats simply wouldn't be Democrats without the grandstanding, gaslighting, and temper tantrums, all of which have predictably been on full display ahead of the joint address to Congress that President Donald Trump will be giving Tuesday night.

           The Democrats are out in full propaganda mode ahead of Trump’s speech tonight.

Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, and Chuck Schumer all read from the same exact script about how bad Trump is.

UPDATE: Karoline Leavitt Rips Dems Over Report They Plan to Protest Trump's Speech With Noisemakers, Egg Cartons  . . . "A wide array of props — including noisemakers — has also been floated," Axios revealed.

"The report suggests that Democrats may use their little ping pong paddles made of popsicle sticks with messages written on them as well, à la Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) during last year's speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as egg cartons to protest inflation, something they were big fans of for four years.

"They might also be bringing hand-clappers and coordinating the color of their outfits. It's pre-school in Congress, ladies and gentlemen!

"No word on whether those outfits will also feature kente cloths or if those particular political props are out of style these days." . .  .

The Resistance To Climate Alarmism Grows

 Issues & Insights

  We expect the alarmists, if any of them read this, will accuse us of being paid off by the oil industry. If only. We could use the cash. 

Mike Beckom

"The end is near. That’s what we’ve been told since the beginning. The doomsdayers have cited a variety of cataclysms that will do us in, from asteroids to resource exhaustion to a dying sun. But they all have one thing in common: So far, they’ve all been wrong. Same with the climate alarmists. And the public is catching on.

"A study, published by the Stanford University School of Sustainability, no less, found that “resistance to climate action has become a global movement that strengthens after governments implement climate-related policies.”

“ 'We found that counter climate change organizations tend to emerge after pro-environmental policies are institutionalized in government,” said the study’s senior author.

"Of course they do. As our friends at the Committee to Unleash Prosperity observed, this has happened “maybe because the war on fossil fuels has deindustrialized Germany and many other European nations. Maybe it’s because green energy is so much more expensive to produce. Maybe because the biggest polluters like China have done nothing.”

"Let’s add another “maybe.” The resistance is likely also based on a growing skepticism. We have been bombarded by global warming scare stories for more than three decades and yet we’re still here. No matter how much the alarmists cheat, lie, obfuscate and bully, it’s obvious that the entire narrative is based on assumptions, speculation and political ideology. Every claim they make can be easily refuted. To name a few, which we’ll call the big three:

"We just lived through the hottest year/month/week/day on record. This is meaningless. Hottest compared to what? The only reliable measure we have is from satellite readings that go back to only 1979 and they show nothing to get worked up about.

"All other data are entirely unreliable. Mixing tree rings, mercury thermometer records that are “adjusted,” numbers from nonexistent and compromised weather stations and modern equipment to whip up widespread fear is scientific malpractice." . . .

UPDATE: People Are Increasingly Skeptical of the Climate Scolds - Because the Scolds Are So Often Wrong  "A great man once said, "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time." 

"And yet that's what the climate doom-cryers have been trying to do for the last few decades, from Al "I've never gotten over the 2000 election" Gore to the Swedish Doom Pixie Greta "How DARE you!" Thunberg." Remainder behind a pay wall.

Bill O'Reilly Asks What If Kamala Harris Were Elected President   "Bill O'Reilly goes into detail on what a Kamala Harris presidency would have meant for the country, and what President Trump has accomplished so far."

Trump tells Jewish Republicans 'Israel is gone' if Harris wins - POLITICO 

 “ 'I will keep America safe and I will work with you to make sure Israel is with us for thousands of years,” Trump said in remarks from New York. “We’re not going to let go of it.' ” . . . Don't say that on American campuses!

Israel will not exist if Harris is elected, Trump claims in fiery debate - The Jewish Chronicle   "Vice-President Kamala Harris insisted the Israel Hamas war must "end immediately" while Trump claimed she "hates Israel" and ducked a meeting with Bejamin Netanyahu for a sorority party in the combustive first debate between the pair.

"Speaking in Philadelphia, the presidential candidates both pledged to help defend Israel but clashed over who had a stronger record on national security.

"Begining her answer with a potted history of the Israel Hamas war, Harris said Israel has a right to defend itself, “but it matters how.”She said: “Let’s understand how we got here. On October 7, Hamas, a terrorist organisation, slaughtered 1,200 Israelis, many of them young people who were simply attending a concert where women were horribly raped. And so, absolutely… Israel has a right to defend itself...

" 'And how it does so matters, because it is also true that far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed, children, mothers. What we know is that this war must end, it must end immediately, and the way it will end is we need a ceasefire deal and we need the hostages out. So we will continue to work around the clock on that.”

"America should “chart a course for a two-state solution” that would ensure security for Israelis and Palestinians, Harris said."

Is Harris not aware that Palestinians had their own prototype state in Gaza? A separate country free of Jews who were moved out forcefully by Israel to satisfy treaty requirements. How has that worked out? Kamala had the intelligence of Greta Thunberg, the Keffiyeh-clad "Doom goblin’" of Sky News. Gazans must never be bike/ kite close to Israel ever again. TD

Red-District DOGE Protests, Cited As Proof of Broad Musk 'Backlash,' Were Organized By Soros Groups

Free Beacon  

"The New York Times and CBS also mentioned the Fitzgerald town hall, though neither included Indivisible's involvement."

"When angry voters confronted Rep. Rich McCormick over DOGE at a town hall held in the Georgia Republican's deep-red district, the New York Times, Washington Post, and CBS News cited the scene as proof of emerging bipartisan "backlash" over Elon Musk's efforts to slash government spending. CBS included a quote from one of the protest's organizers, Maggie Goldman, describing her only as a McCormick constituent." . . .

. . ."The George Soros-funded groups Indivisible and MoveOn were at the center of the demonstrations. Both groups launched national "mobilization" efforts targeting the "Trump-Musk agenda" and "Trump-Musk coup" during the recess period. MoveOn said its "members and allies will show up at congressional-led town halls and congressional offices around the country, targeting House Republicans whose votes will be crucial in opposing Trump and Musk's harmful policies." Indivisible issued a "Musk or Us Recess Toolkit" that showed members how to find their local town halls and urged them to "take the fight to Elon.' " . . .

'We're all Bibas this year': Store offers Batman costume for 10 shekels in honor of slain hostages

 Jerusalem Post  

"A Batman costume for kids and adults will be sold for only 10 shekels as a tribute to slain hostage, 4-year-old Ariel Bibas, who loved the superhero."

. . ." 'This is not about making money—this is a pure loss from my own pocket, but I want to do it," she explained. "I see in all the comments that there's a huge desire to dress up as Batman for Purim in honor of the Bibas family. So I got masks—one shekel each—just so TikTok on Purim will be filled with this mask."

"The whole country will be posting videos on Purim with Batman masks. We're all Bibas this year."

Why is the Batman costume so prominent in Israel today?

"The Batman costume has become closely associated with Ariel Bibas, who was tragically murdered by Hamas. The last Purim before he was kidnapped, Ariel dressed as Batman. At his kindergarten, he drew pictures of his favorite superhero and told his teacher he dreamed of "flying and saving people stuck in a pit." . . .

Sadly, here in America: Pro-Hamas vandals desecrate University of Michigan memorial to slain Bibas family 

   "A memorial honoring the Bibas family at the University of Michigan was desecrated with “Free Palestine” and an inverted red triangle.

"The memorial was painted on “The Rock” – a large boulder regularly repainted by UMich students – in orange with the names of Shiri, Kfir, and Ariel written on it in memory of the three Bibases who were murdered in Hamas captivity. Their bodies were returned to Israel in the recent hostage-prisoner exchange deal, and they were buried last week.
