Dems Throw An Anti-Trump Temper Tantrum — Does It Matter?

  Issues & Insights  

Nevertheless, these election losses do matter – and it’s something Trump and his fanbase can’t ignore. 

"If Republicans had any hopes of scoring surprise election victories on Tuesday, they were absolutely crushed. The loss was sweeping.

"In New Jersey and Virginia, the Republican candidates did worse than Donald Trump just one year ago. And in Virginia, Democrats picked up at least 10 seats in the state legislature. New York elected its most radical mayor in its history. Californians voted by an almost 3-to-1 margin to redraw the state’s districts to squeeze out five more seats for Democrats.

"All of these elections had one thing in common – they were akin to a primal scream about President Donald Trump.

"After 10 months of nonstop, fact-free shrieking — that

• Trump is wrecking the economy (the latest GDPNow estimate from the Atlanta Fed shows the economy growing 4% last quarter),tariffs would spike inflation (prices rose 3% last month, which is lower than almost any month during the Biden administration),
• the world would devolve into chaos (Trump has resolved more global conflicts this year than Biden or Obama combined),
• democracy is threatened (a claim this week’s elections disproved),
• and that Trump is gutting the federal government (spending is up almost across the board),

— voters in these states turned out to vent. Congratulations.

"But so what?

"It’s no surprise that Republicans lost these elections. Since 2000, only four Republicans have won statewide elections in Virginia. In New Jersey, only two have done so. Anyone with half a brain — and who was likely to vote for a Republican — had already abandoned New York City for less socialist climes. Other cities that elected Democratic mayors this week haven’t seen a Republican in the mayor’s office in decades. (It’s been 153 since Atlanta had one.) California is a hopelessly one-party state.

"And the sad truth is that the people in those areas will suffer from the inept, corrupt, radical leaders they’ve elected.

"Plus, the more Democrats hyper-focus on Trump, the more of a disservice they do to themselves. After all, Trump won’t be on the ballot in 2028, and all their claims about the country devolving into an autocracy will be a laugh line. They will have nothing to offer voters, other than hatred of Trump." . . . More...

Gotta love this Israeli-produced parody of Mamdani

Dearborn's Democrat rep in Congress

Did you know that in Dearborn, Michigan, Muslim girls can get beheaded and nobody says a thing?    "RAIR FoundationIn November 2021, Abdullah Hammoud made history as the first Arab-American and Muslim elected as mayor of Dearborn. Just a year later, in 2022, he elevated Issa Shahin to become the city’s first Muslim police chief. Shahin is the 47-year-old son of an Egyptian father and Albanian mother, married to a Jordanian-American woman. He now controls Dearborn’s law enforcement arm.

"Together, Hammoud and Shahin represent a historic shift: both of Dearborn’s most powerful offices, political and police, are held by Muslim men deeply tied to a very controversial Islamic community. And that fact matters, because under their leadership, a troubling pattern has emerged. Non-Muslims are punished for reckless words, while Muslims are shielded when they chant open incitement." . . .

Maybe Karine should give up on this book

Silvio Canto, Jr.

"Watching former Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre promote her book is hard. It's obvious that no one is buying her arguments. Did she really believe that the public would buy accept that stuff about President Biden being in top form? Or are we watching yet another person who spent so much time in the "bubble" that she couldn't see what all of us were seeing?

"The latest stop in the book tour did not go well. Let's check that out:

"Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was grilled on Tuesday about her new book and decision to leave the Democratic Party.

"Podcaster Van Lathan spoke with Jean-Pierre about her decision to leave the Democratic Party as well as her new book, "Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines." 

"During her book tour, Jean-Pierre said the title's reference to a "broken" White House referred to the Trump administration, not the Biden administration. 

" You know, I saw that you said that when you meant a ‘broken’ White House that you don't mean the Biden White House, that you mean the Trump White House. Nobody believes that," Lathan said. 

" 'Well, because the book was written to be in the moment," Jean-Pierre responded. "When you read the book, you'll see that I'm talking about what's happening right now and meeting the moment. I mean, people didn't believe that because they want a tell-all, right? I think people… they assume the book was going to be I'm telling secrets, and I'm not. The book doesn't have secrets in it. The book is literally talking about my experience."

"Jean-Pierre argued the book had far more depth in terms of talking about the current moment in the country.

"There was nothing in your opinion that was broken about the Biden White House?" Lathan pressed further. 

"Even liberal hosts are not buying it. It didn't go well again because people are not stupid. Everybody could see that the former President had lost his fastball. He was struggling to answer questions. Eventually, everything hit the fan when the nation saw him on TV debating President Trump and looking horrible.

"KJP may have been a loyal team player. However, you can't let your loyalty isolate you from the reality that we were all seeing. I think that her book would have been better received if she had been more honest about her failures and the media's willingness to cover things up.

"As for leaving the Democrat Party, honestly, who cares? It doesn't make her more sincere. It's just a cheap excuse to look "independent" when she was not.

"So good luck, KJP. Maybe there is another book that you can work on, because this one is not working for you."

New York’s Elderly Jews Torn Between Man Who Would Kill Them For Being Jewish And Man Who Would Kill Them For Being Elderly

"NEW YORK CITY, NY — The elderly Jewish community is reportedly at a crossroads this Election Day, torn between a man who would kill them for being Jewish and a man who would kill them for being elderly.

" 'Mamdani wants me dead for being Jewish," said Estelle Goldberg, a rabbi's wife. "But Cuomo would shove me in a nursing home infected with COVID and refuse to admit me to the hospital."  

"It's a tough choice." . . .

Zohran Mamdani Horrified To Discover He Now Has A Job  

"NEW YORK, NY — In the wake of his overwhelming election win that signalled a dramatic political shift in the United States, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani was reportedly horrified to wake up this morning and discover that he now had a job.

The Ugandan-born socialist won a landslide victory on Tuesday over former Governor Andrew Cuomo, Republican Curtis Sliwa, and common sense, only to come to the stunning realization that he would now have to work.

"I didn't think this through," Mamdani reportedly told one of his aides. "I was all excited about the campaign and wanted to win, but I got so caught up in the competition that I didn't stop to think that I would end up, you know, having a job. This is terrible."

Promising handouts and government-provided living necessities built a tremendous following for Mamdani, though he now found himself in the unenviable position of not being able to just sit at home and do nothing like his supporters. "I didn't know I would have to like… do stuff," . . .

The Kids Have Delivered Mamdani, but the Adults Will Be Required to Handle the Results to Come – RedState

 . . . "Mamdani is the youngest mayor of the city in a century, and it is his contemporaries who have driven him into office. That is to say, those with the least amount of political experience and wisdom were swayed by the promises of this wunderkind. The people with a sparse voting record that matches Mamdani’s lack of a professional resume have placed him in charge of the biggest city, and disaster only looms.". . .

 . . . "What these voters fail to do is look deeper into these issues. If these heart-swelling policies are so wondrous, did any of them ask why these have not been implemented before? Have they not considered that the buses and subways will become rolling homeless shelters? Did none of them see the city-operated grocer that recently failed in Missouri? And what about the application of pragmatism to these proposals?

Mamdani has frequently been shown to have fractured interpretations of fiscal policies. He plans to raise $9 billion by hiking taxes on billionaires, saying the municipal rate is still lower than most other cities'. He chooses to omit that this exists on top of an existing state tax, meaning the rich face higher rates. Analysts have used this same subterfuge by claiming examples of other hikes on the wealthy have proven successful elsewhere, but they are using statewide examples applied to proposals confined to a city.

His promise of free childcare up to five years of age, with providers paid at the same level as teachers, is so expensive that his campaign estimates costs could run as high as $20,000 per child, and $6 billion to operate. This would constitute two-thirds of the new tax revenue he plans to rake in – for just one of his programs. Now factor in that the city has been operating with a budget deficit of $5-7 billion the past few years, and these plans look even more ridiculous.
