"Kamala Harris lost for the same reason Kamala Harris dropped out of the Democrat primary in 2019. The more she talks, the more her incompetence gets exposed. Or does Capehart think that Harris was forced to drop out in 2019 because Democrats are racists and misogynists?"
"Democrats are now in the midst of losing another election -- because their donors have begun voting with their feet. Just as Donald Trump and Elon Musk are cutting off the NGO archipelago to their political allies, big-ticket donors are closing their wallets:
"Several Democrat donors said this week that they have paused their donations to the party because of how weak and ineffective it has become in the wake of President Donald Trump’s return to office.
“I’ll be blunt here: The Democratic Party is f***ing terrible. Plain and simple,” a major Democrat donor told The Hill. “In fact, it doesn’t get much worse.” ...
A second donor told the publication that they were equally as turned off about the party.
“They want us to spend money, and for what? For no message, no organization, no forward thinking,” the donor said. “The thing that’s clear to a lot of us is that the party never really learned its lesson in 2016. They worked off the same playbook and the same ineffective strategies and to what end?”
"In fairness, they did win a couple of elections in between with the same tired playbook and ineffective strategies. Democrats won big in 2018 largely over the Russia-collusion hoax, and then won in 2020 in reaction to the pandemic chaos. But in neither case did they take any real lessons about the populist turn of the general electorate, nor have they since. . . .
"The Obama judge who blocked the Trump administration's ICE raids is the husband of a far-left open borders activist.
"On Monday, U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang ruled in favor of a lawsuit filed by left-wing activists seeking to prohibit ICE from conducting raids in churches where many illegal aliens hide from authorities.
" 'The substantial burden that the [Trump administration] policy is far from speculative and is already occurring,” Chuang wrote in his ruling.
" 'It is reasonable to expect that such enforcement actions will occur at Plaintiffs’ place of worship where DHS specifically stated in its press release announcing the 2025 policy that ‘criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest,’” he continued.
"Natalie Winters, a co-host of Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, did some digging and revealed that Chuang’s wife, Jacinta Ma, is the Vice President of National Immigration Forum (NIF), a pro-open borders advocacy group.
"The organization promotes policies such as a mass amnesty for illegal aliens and works on putting out propaganda about the supposedly massive contributions made by illegal aliens to the U.S. economy.
"The group’s largest donor is the Open Society Foundations, which is funded by the liberal billionaire George Soros." . . .More...
The tech expert — who goes by “DataRepublican” on X — has received threats since Elon Musk started highlighting her work.“The numbers don’t lie,” the data expert added. “And look, they don’t always say what I want to hear. But they do tell me the truth.”
"A data scientist with ties to DOGE chief Elon Musk declared Monday that she believes “over $100 billion” in taxpayer money is being wasted or stolen by federal employees at government agencies.
The tech expert is using artificial intelligence to expose cases of government waste, fraud and abuse and goes by “DataRepublican” on X, where her posts are regularly shared by the billionaire Tesla and SpaceX founder.
“Whew,” the woman, who is deaf, said through an interpreter when asked by NewsNation’s Brian Entin about how much federal cash she believes is being wasted or stolen based on her efforts poring over public databases.
“If I had to guess, I would say it is over $100 billion,” she said. “But what is more important is what they are doing with that money.” . . .
“I cannot tell you enough how much both [Republicans and Democrats] are involved,” she said. “It is everywhere.”
"Musk’s DOGE initiative, which aims to cut at least $1 trillion in federal spending, claims it has already saved taxpayers about$55 billionby slashing government grants, finding lost money, downsizing federal agencies and laying off thousands of government workers."

"We have previouslydiscussed the defamation case involving Georgia gynecologist Dr. Mahendra Amin who was allegedly defamed by MSNBC, including by host Rachel Maddow, as the “uterus collector.” Now, not long aftera settlement of CNNof another defamation case, MSNBC appears to have forked over damages to Dr. Amin to avoid a trial.
"The case wasnot going wellfor NBC before it threw in the towel to avoid the April trial. That trial would have been embarrassing for hosts Maddow, Hayes, and Wallace as well as NBC News reporters Jacob Soboroff and Julia Ainsley, MSNBC producer Denis Horgan, senior director of stands and practices Mary Lockhart, deputy head of standards Chris Scholl and others.
"The complaint alleged that NBC reporters Jacob Soboroff and Julia Ainsley developed the story on the whistleblower’s claims despite initial skepticism from the network’s standards department.
"MSNBC quickly followed with a series of on-air reports in which the doctor was often referred to as the “uterus collector.” The story was based on allegations by “a former nurse at the facility named Dawn Wooten.” Wooten is quoted extensively in the opinion:
We’ve questioned among ourselves like goodness he’s taking everybody’s stuff out …. That’s his specialty, he’s the uterus collector. I know that’s ugly … is he collecting these things or something[?] … Everybody he sees, he’s taking all their uteruses out or he’s taken their tubes out.
"Despite misgivings about Wooten’s credibility, MSNBC continued with stories that portrayed Dr. Amin as a virtual Dr. Mengele. Critics charged that the story was irresistible for the channel because it combined reproductive health, immigration, and social equity issues. Whatever the reason, hosts and executives set aside their doubts and ran stories that made Dr. Amin an infamous figure throughout the country.
"Judge Lisa Godbey Wood (S.D. Ga.) found that the stories were false in claiming that Dr. Amin performed “hysterectomies that were unnecessary, unauthorized, or even botched.” She also found that MSNBC may have published the reports knowing that the allegations were false or with reckless disregard for the truth." . . .
"I agree, Luna is right to pressure Bondi. Trump ordered the files to be released, so the DOJ needs to act quickly. No more fuss, the people deserve the truth now!"
"Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), is tearing into Attorney General Pam Bondi for stalling on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein client list and JFK assassination files, ordered declassified by President Trump on day three of his term. As chairwoman of the Task Force on Declassification, Luna blasted Bondi on X, noting the DOJ’s dodged House Oversight’s letters from February 11 and 19, demanding, “What’s the holdup, Pam?” Bondi teased she’s got the docs but won’t spill yet, leaving Luna and the American people fed up with swamp excuses. The left’s panicking over what these files might expose, while Luna fights for patriots tired of deep-state lies. Bondi better deliver for Team Trump, or she’ll face the MAGA base’s fury—this is America First in action!
Full transparency on Epstein and JFK files is crucial for public trust. AG Bondi needs to comply with Trump’s declassification order immediately. The American people deserve the truth, not more bureaucratic delays. – Olivia . . .

"Eulogies at funeral near Kibbutz Nir Oz will be live-streamed; sister says Yarden Bibas struggling to come to terms with horrible news of his wife and young sons’ murder in captivity"
"Slain hostage Shiri Bibas and her two young sons Ariel and Kfir will be laid to rest on Wednesday in a private ceremony in Zohar, near their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz, the family said Monday, adding that it would publish a funeral procession route to enable the public to pay its respects ahead of the burial.
“ 'The warm embrace, the love and the strength that you have sent us from all over Israel and the world strengthen us and accompany us during these moments of crisis,” the family said in a statement on social media. “We are aware that many of you want to be there, to pay your respects, to express your love and to say your goodbyes together with us.”
“ 'Please respect our choice to say our goodbyes during these final moments in the way that is right for us,” said the family.

Media fails; NBC settles"In 2020, MSNBC talking heads had a story too good to check. It combined advocacy for illegal immigration and allegations of horrendous governmental abuse of illegal immigrant women, a Democrat/socialist/communist (D/s/c) twofer, until it blew up in NBC’s face: " . . .

"Among the major changes: Jen Psaki, former press secretary in the Biden White House, will take over the 9 p.m. hour Tuesday through Friday. The hour is currently being hosted by Rachel Maddow, who returned five-days-a-week in the slot for the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s administration.
"Inside with Jen Psaki, which the network said was Kutler’s brainchild, has been a success for MSNBC since it launched in 2023, drawing strong reviews and solid ratings for the network.
"Maddow will return to hosting her eponymous show only on Monday nights, and Alex Wagner, who had replaced her in the hour for the rest of the week, will lose her show but remain at the network as senior political analyst.
@chrislhayes, Rachel @maddow, Nicole Wallace, and @jacobsoboroff spread the lies. Many of MSNBC’s “news” talent have shared serial lies, hoaxes and conspiracy theories.

"Justin Trudeau’s appeasement of Islamic supremacists has taken yet another dark turn—this time through the Canadian Armed Forces themselves.
"In a shocking post on the official Facebook page of the Canadian Joint Operations Command (CJOC)—a government-run military page—an image was uploaded of a Canadian soldier in uniform, weapon in hand, studying a map.

Instead, here was a young politician giving them the dressing-down of their lifetimes while staying polite, however, throughout.
"It was something completely different from the speeches one hears in the Bundestag (the German parliament) where it has become the norm to only simulate politics.
