How sick is the American left? This sick.

Patricia McCarthy  

Their hatred of Trump has made them enemies of us all.  They are so thoroughly ungrateful for what this great nation has provided for them.  They are indeed sick.

"Leftists are so sick that when two National Guardsmen are shot by an Afghan welcomed into the U.S. by Biden, they blame President Trump for having deployed the Guard to D.C. for badly needed crime abatement.  Said deployment worked marvelously.  Murders, robberies, carjackings, etc. dropped massively.  But our left is doing everything in its well financed power to see Trump run out of office by any means necessary.

" 'Leftists are not bothered by the escalating crime.  Can we say “color revolution”?

"Exactly who is behind the Seditious Six’s traitorous video?  John Brennan?  Obama?  Who knows?  But something is very, very wrong with this entire scheme.  Those six tools are doing someone else’s bidding.  Oh, they surely love being part of whatever “it” is, but they are just the tip of someone else’s spear.

"One thing has become abundantly clear.  Trump-deranged leftists hate Trump so much they don’t mind destroying the republic, any semblance of the “democracy” they like to cite so often, and any remaining reverence for the Constitution they continuously pretend to respect.  They are a pernicious bunch of traitors.  They loathe Trump because he is not part of the establishment, the Deep State that fights so underhandedly against him day by day.  They can’t control him the way they have so obviously controlled just about all previous presidents except Reagan.

darkangelpolitics

"Leftists love, crave, and often create what they value most: leverage — leverage over anyone with a modicum of power, in the House, the Senate, the DOJ, the FBI, the IRS, etc.  Leverage is their weapon.  They don’t have any over Trump.  They thought they did, with the Epstein “files,” but it’s become clear that Epstein was a monster whose closest pals were Democrats.  Trump is the man who turned him in to the FBI decades ago and had no further relationship with him.  That is why Epstein hated him so much; he was both furious and jealous.  That the Dems even deigned to hope those files would bring Trump down was nothing but wishful thinking. 

"The American left, no longer remotely related to the party of JFK, is now fully Marxist.  In some parts of the country — Michigan and Minnesota, for example — it is Marxist jihadist.  NYC just elected one of those.

"The Democrat party no longer has any respect for the Constitution.  As Obama often commented, he hated it because it said what the government must not do.  Like a true Marxist, Obama believed that the government should control what people do, are allowed to say, where they can go, what they can own." . . . More...

Homegrown monsters and imported killers: America’s twin revolving doors

. . . "President Trump immediately labeled the attacker an “animal” who “will pay a very steep price,” while thanking the National Guard and law enforcement. Vice President JD Vance offered prayers for the wounded. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced the deployment of 500 additional troops to Washington, declaring, “This cowardly act will only stiffen our resolve. We will never back down.”

"Hegseth’s response was more than rhetoric — it was a call for fortified, layered law enforcement: local police buying critical seconds, state National Guard bridging gaps, and federal agencies turning intelligence into decisive action. Without this coordinated bulwark, predators exploit the seams.

"Yet no enforcement system can fully compensate for open borders and lenient judges. The attacker slipped through Biden’s disastrous 2021 Afghan airlift with little (no) vetting. The ongoing terrorism probe suggests possible ties to radical or narco-terror networks — violence imported wholesale because political haste overruled security." . . . More...

Appeals Court Shuts Down Judge’s Order Holding Trump Officials in Criminal Contempt

TFPP Wire 

"A federal appeals court has halted a lower court judge’s attempt to hold Trump administration officials in criminal contempt, ruling that the move posed serious legal concerns. The decision stops a months-long push by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg to punish officials over deportation flights to El Salvador.

Key Facts:

• On Friday, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-1 to void Judge Boasberg’s probable cause finding for contempt.
• Judges Neomi Rao and Gregory Katsas, both Trump appointees, formed the majority.
• The contempt case stemmed from flights deporting alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador.
• Boasberg, an Obama appointee, claimed the administration disobeyed his order to turn planes around.
• The Supreme Court had already overturned Boasberg’s original order earlier this year.

The Rest of The Story:"The clash began in March, when the Trump administration used the Alien Enemies Act to swiftly deport Venezuelan nationals accused of gang activity. These flights were bound for a heavily guarded Salvadoran prison known for holding violent offenders.

"At an emergency Saturday hearing, Judge Boasberg ordered all planes already in the air to turn back. His order was issued under unusual urgency and based on a rarely invoked statute.

"Despite the Supreme Court later striking down his directive, Boasberg pursued contempt charges against administration officials, alleging they had deliberately ignored his ruling. He argued that the government’s actions warranted criminal accountability.

"The administration challenged the contempt finding, saying it forced the executive branch into an impossible position — obeying what they saw as an unlawful order or facing prosecution. The appeals court issued an “administrative stay” in April to pause the proceedings while reviewing the case.

Commentary: "This ruling is another example of appellate courts stepping in to curb judicial overreach. The majority opinion recognized that forcing an executive branch to comply with a legally questionable order undermines constitutional separation of powers.

"Judge Boasberg’s approach in this case was less about law and more about forcing a political showdown. By pushing contempt charges even after the Supreme Court invalidated his order, he appeared intent on punishing rather than seeking a lawful resolution.

"Such tactics erode public trust in the judiciary. The role of a judge is to interpret the law, not to maneuver politically when a ruling has been overturned at the highest level.

"The appeals court correctly protected executive authority here. The Constitution envisions coequal branches of government, not one branch holding another hostage through dubious legal maneuvers.

"Boasberg’s pattern in cases involving the Trump administration reflects a predisposition toward obstruction rather than fair adjudication. His rulings often invite higher court reversals, suggesting that they are crafted with political outcomes in mind rather than legal soundness." ... More...

NYC sneaks in 16% pay raises to put on Zohran Mamdani’s desk as welcome gift   . . . "The lawmakers wouldn’t be the only ones to benefit from the pay bumps — the potential new legislation would pad the paychecks of the mayor, public advocate and borough presidents.

"Mamdani’s salary, as mayor, would get a bump from the current $258,750 to $300,500.

"The city comptroller currently makes $210,000, the public advocate is paid $184,000 and borough presidents $180,000 — and each would get 16% bumps in pay under the plan.

"Here comes the oligarchy the voters put in; get rid of the police, give themselves huge pay raises, etc., etc. NYC is going to swirl down the bowl and the only ones left will be the ruling class and their gov't dependent serfs." Comment.

What’s So New About Mamdani’s Socialism?   . . . "One cause of the real estate problem in cities like New York is rent control. Rent control is the socialist solution to the city’s housing problem. The government steps in, says there’s an emergency, and imposes rent control. Where there’s rent control, landlords and potential landlords have no incentive to build new housing. No new housing and an increased population lead to more and more severe scarcity. That appears to be too difficult to understand for Mamdani and Kristof—and the entire Democrat party and probably much of the Republican party too.

"Remember the old Cold War joke? “What happens when the Soviet Union takes over the Sahara Desert? Answer: Soon there’ll be a shortage of sand. And soon after imposing rent control, there’s always a shortage of housing." . . .

New Details Revealed As Officials Hold Morning Presser on D.C. National Guard Shooting

Townhall 

  "Joe Biden’s refusal to enforce immigration laws created the migrant mayhem we’re seeing in our communities.  

"His Afghan policy imported hordes of terrorists. We know this because one of them shot two National Guardsmen in Washington, DC, on November 26. The suspect, 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, is an Afghan national, here illegally after overstaying his visa, and was imported to our shores in 2021.  

"We know that the Biden administration was awash with incompetents and borderline reprobates. Still, they also said, incredibly, that the hordes of Afghans fleeing Kabul when the Taliban retook the country were all vetted. The Biden administration’s pivot for this significant foreign policy failure in Afghanistan was to treat importing a bunch of third-world folks like this as the Berlin Airlift 2.0. It wasn’t—it was Joe Biden being a moron, and we’re still paying for it." . . . 

FLASHBACK: Email obtained by @HawleyMO shows the Biden admin ordered them to fill up planes with Afghan “refugees” even without vetting them.

"Troops on the ground said they were shocked by Biden’s failure to vet these Afghans before bringing them into our country.

Thanksgiving — Beyond the First Feast

 The American Spectator

"Making peace with the Pilgrims afforded security for the Wampanoag. An agreement was struck for the benefit of both Pilgrim and Wampanoag. The latter would help the settlers survive the winter and the Pilgrims would be a deterrent for the Wampanoag against their nemesis to the west."

"Whenever the holiday season comes upon us, annual traditions and thanksgiving activities are a blessing. Family events center around each special occasion — Hannukah, Christmas, New Year’s — and Thanksgiving is no exception. Yet, while this celebration is quite common for American households, and we grow up anticipating the turkey, stuffing, apple pie — the inevitable food “coma” and football naps — many of us remain curious about how this ritual began — the “origin story” of this beloved holiday.

"Early on in school, we learn to equate Thanksgiving with a feast between Pilgrims and Native Americans. But there is additional background surrounding this holiday that isn’t typically taught or highlighted. Did you know there is a “Mother of Thanksgiving,” and that its recognition can be traced back to the founding fathers of the United States?

"Thanksgiving is the quintessential American holiday, and we celebrate it annually on the fourth Thursday in November.

"But there is more to this celebration — this annual ritual — than just “turkey and dressing.” Thanksgiving is commonly known as a way to commemorate the colonial Pilgrims’ harvest meal in 1621, which they shared with the Wampanoag Indian tribe, who “were key to the survival of the colonists during the first year they arrived in 1620.

"As years passed, designating feasts dedicated to giving thanks “on an annual or occasional basis” became common practice in other New England settlements as well. A tradition had begun to take shape.

"Besides the original meal shared in 1621, Pilgrims held a second Thanksgiving in 1623 to celebrate the end of a long drought. Yet, technically, the first official designated Thanksgiving was celebrated much later — in 1789. According to the National Archives, Congress asked President George Washington for a national day of thanksgiving. Thursday, November 26, 1789, was, therefore, declared (original spelling): “Day of Publick Thanksgivin”

"This, America’s National Day of Thanksgiving, is about reflecting on blessings and acknowledging gratitude. After all, President George Washington’s 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation included its stated purpose:

"Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor — and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me “to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.”

"We can all thank the “Mother of Thanksgiving,” writer and editor Sarah Josepha Hale, for successfully establishing Thanksgiving as an annual national holiday." . . . More...

Planned East Plano Community Rebranded The Meadow, County Says

Tests such as this should manifest how deep is Gen Z's contempt for our nation and its founding. Given the educators among the radicals in the streets, one must fear for America. The Tunnel Dweller.

 Prism News

"Officials and local reporting said the development long known as EPIC City was rebranded as The Meadow, and developers may pursue filings that could move the project forward. The change matters to Collin County residents because the 402 acre proposal would add homes, a mosque, a school and commercial space in unincorporated Collin and Hunt counties, bringing potential impacts on infrastructure, services and local governance."

"County leaders and local outlets reported on November 20 that the large planned community associated with the East Plano Islamic Center has been renamed The Meadow. Collin County Judge Chris Hill posted updates indicating developers Community Capital Partners, known as CCP, may file applications with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for a municipal utility district and could submit plats to the county, steps that would begin formal county review and approval processes. 

"The site covers roughly 402 acres spanning unincorporated areas of Collin and Hunt counties. Plans tied to the project have included residential neighborhoods, a mosque, an educational campus and commercial areas, defining it as a mixed use development with both civic and private components. Local reporting has noted the project generated controversy during earlier stages, and as of the November 20 update no final county filings were publicly available." . . .  More...

. . . "Unlike more overt extremists, Qadhi operates with calculated precision, presenting a moderate, intellectual facade while actively mobilizing the Muslim community for territorial and ideological expansion. However, throughout the years, his mask has slipped on several occasions, exposing his true agenda. In rare moments of candor, he has openly declared democracy incompatible with Islam, refused to condemn terrorist groups like Hamas, and preached that Islamic law—not Western governance—should dictate every aspect of life. These moments provide a rare glimpse into the real Yasir Qadhi, a man whose ultimate goal is the systematic transformation of American society under Sharia." . . .

"Texas has become the testing ground for Qadhi’s long-term strategy, and Republican leaders have remained alarmingly silent. While other states, such as Michigan and Minnesota, have garnered media attention for their rising Islamic populations, Texas has largely been overlooked despite being home to one of the most well-organized Islamic expansion efforts in the country."   . . .  More...

European 'No-Go' Zones: Fact or Fiction? Part 1: France :: Gatestone Institute

. . . "Muslim enclaves in European cities are also breeding grounds for Islamic radicalism and pose a significant threat to Western security."

• In October 2011, a 2,200-page report, "Banlieue de la République" (Suburbs of the Republic) found that Seine-Saint-Denis and other Parisian suburbs are becoming "separate Islamic societies" cut off from the French state and where Islamic Sharia law is rapidly displacing French civil law.

• The report also showed how the problem is being exacerbated by radical Muslim preachers who are promoting the social marginalization of Muslim immigrants in order to create a parallel Muslim society in France that is ruled by Sharia law." . . .

"The Hungarian presenter then asks: "What if we went to the suburbs?" Obertone replies: "I do not recommend this. Not even we French dare go there anymore.

Tomi Lahren Slams Eric Swalwell for Cringe-Worthy Political Stunts

 American Association of Retired Republicans  

"As the video wraps up, it leaves viewers with a clear message: political leaders must prioritize authenticity and effectiveness over cheap stunts. Lahren's critique of Swalwell is not just personal but emblematic of her broader concerns about the direction of political engagement in America today."

  

Eric Swalwell Under Scrutiny for Embarrassing Behavior"   

"Tomi Lahren, host of 'Tomi Lahren Is Fearless,' recently took aim at Congressman Eric Swalwell in a scathing critique of his latest public antics. In her YouTube video posted on June 4, 2025, Lahren calls out Swalwell for what she describes as desperate and cringe-worthy behavior, particularly highlighting a video he shared that has drawn widespread mockery. The segment focuses on Swalwell's apparent struggle to connect with voters through awkward and poorly received content, positioning him as a symbol of Democratic missteps in leadership.

"Lahren does not hold back in her assessment, emphasizing that Swalwell's actions are not just embarrassing on a personal level but reflect poorly on the Democratic Party's efforts to resonate with the American public. She points out that Democrats seem to be turning to figures like Swalwell for leadership despite these public relations misfires, a move she finds baffling and counterproductive.

"Jeremy Hunt Weighs In on Swalwell's Missteps"  

"At around the 2:42 mark of the video, Lahren is joined by Jeremy Hunt, Chairman of Veterans On Duty, to discuss Swalwell's recent appearance on 'The Breakfast Club.' Hunt reacts to Swalwell's comments and demeanor, agreeing with Lahren that the congressman's approach lacks the gravitas expected of someone in his position. They delve into how such appearances fail to project strength or relatability, instead coming across as forced attempts to appeal to younger or diverse demographics.

"Hunt and Lahren both express concern over the broader implications of Swalwell's behavior, suggesting it underscores a disconnect between Democratic leaders and the everyday concerns of Americans. Their conversation highlights a perceived desperation within the party to find figures who can effectively communicate their message, only to falter with choices like Swalwell.

"Democrats' Struggle to Connect with Voters" . . .

"Throughout the episode, Lahren maintains a critical lens on Swalwell's actions, using his recent viral misstep as a lens to examine wider political trends. The discussion with Jeremy Hunt adds depth to her perspective, offering a veteran's viewpoint on leadership and public trust. Together, they paint a picture of a political figure whose attempts at relevance have backfired, serving as a cautionary tale for others in the public eye."

Joy Reid suggests JD Vance could ditch ‘Brown Hindu’ wife for ‘White queen’ Erika Kirk to appeal to MAGA base

"Reid's show was canceled in February by MSNBC, the progressive cable channel that changed its name to MS NOW earlier this month. The far-left anchor now hosts "The Joy Reid Show" on YouTube."

"Former MSNBC host Joy Reid wondered on the "I’ve Had It" podcast whether Vice President JD Vance is planning to find a new wife to appeal to the MAGA base because she's Indian American.

"Reid speculated that Vance might not be the 2028 heir apparent to President Donald Trump because MAGA supporters wouldn't accept someone like Usha Vance as first lady.

" 'They can't have the successor to MAGA be the guy with the Brown Hindu wife," she said of Vance. "They're also Christian nationalists. That ain't going to work. That's why he's throwing his wife under the bus. Poor Usha. Or she's in on it."

" 'Playing slap and tickle with Erika Kirk, it's the weirdest s--- I've ever seen," "I’ve Had It" co-host Jennifer Welch said. "She's like in her Tammy Faye era."

" 'Holding on the back of his head and rubbing on his head," Reid said in surprise, adding she would be suspicious if a woman held her husband like that, referring to how Erika Kirk embraced the vice president at a Turning Point event last month. 

""You not doing that right thing. [You're] supposed to be a widow, you in leather pants?" Reid said of Erika Kirk. "That's not widow wear." . . .  More

VANCE CALLS PSAKI COMMENTS ABOUT WIFE USHA 'DISGRACEFUL'

Gen Z is ignorant of so much, but especially William F. Buckley

William F. Buckley, Jr. and Tucker Carlson    "The late William F. Buckley, Jr. must be credited as one of the people who established modern conservatism in the United States. He had a weather eye for what or who could help or hurt the movement.

"In the early 1960s, Robert Welch, founder of the John Birch Society, labeled former president Dwight Eisenhower, former secretary of state George C. Marshall, and many other leading Republicans as communists. He, and the Birch Society, claimed that every federal agency had been taken over by the communists. After many debates and much correspondence with Welch, Buckley led a movement to expel Welch and the John Birch Society from the conservative movement and he succeeded.

"Buckley did so with logic and reason and at great risk to himself and to his then-new publication, National Review. It was, he judged, a risk worth taking and he succeeded. He made the Birch Society anathema to conservatives.

"We cannot know how Buckley would have dealt with Tucker Carlson but it is a safe bet that he would have driven Carlson and the rest of his gaggle out of the conservative movement, as he did with Welch and the Birchers.

"It is now up to us to expel the loudest anti-Semites from the conservative movement. They aren’t conservatives: they are, quite simply, bad people who use the conservative brand to conceal their racism and anti-Semitism.

"We know who they are and so do they. They range from Tucker Carlson (who my friend Mark Levin calls “Qatarlson” for his sympathy and emulation of the rhetoric of the Qataris who back Hamas) to people such as Nick Fuentes, who was recently given a friendly interview by Carlson." . . .

Impeach Barack Obama?

American Thinker    

"What about the farce of impeaching Obama after he is out of office?  Yes, it is a farce, but it was a farce when Congress did so with impeachment #2 against Trump.  It makes no difference that Obama has been out of office longer."

"There has been at least a temporary setback to indicting James Comey on making a false statement to Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation.  This, combined with liberal judges running continual interference in such cases, the thorny five-year statute of limitations, and the media constantly portraying any prosecutorial action taken against the seditious actors as a personal vendetta by Donald Trump against his political enemies, is leaving many of us with the uneasy feeling (if we didn’t already have it) that no one will pay for trying to set up and bring down the leader of the opposition party and president of the United States.

"The evidence that has trickled out proves beyond a shadow of doubt that, far from doing everything “by the book,” or merely ignoring “See Something, Say Something,” Barack Obama was actually directing the Trump-Russia collusion plot.  Count me among those who think he’ll never see a jail cell for it, for a number of reasons: The crime doesn’t exactly fit the technical definition of treason or sedition; statute of limitations; he still has supporters in DOJ who will run interference for him; he’s The One.  

"Rather than let him and the others skate, here’s an idea: Let Congress impeach Obama, just as the Democrats did to Donald Trump after he was out of office.  The purpose would be to embarrass him and expose his treachery to the masses, to the point that even the MSM will have trouble hiding it.

"What do they charge him with?  Policy “inconsistent with consensus views of the interagency.”  Do those words sound familiar?  That was Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman’s  testimony about Trump leading to Trump impeachment #1.  When Vindman first said those words, I instantly thought three things:

1) Yes, that’s exactly why we elected Trump.

2) Trump’s the commander-in-chief, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

3) Vindman’s use of an adjective [interagency] as a noun was annoying, not endearing the way a different Alexander — Haig — a former general, made nouns into verbs as Ronald Reagan’s secretary of state.   More

Second, the DSA identifies offices in which the incumbent Democrat — typically, a more conventional Democrat, a party person — is highly vulnerable. That part of the process is crucial. It must be a target of opportunity in which the incumbent can be defeated in the party primary.

Democrats Calling for Mutiny Must Be Punished

J.B. Shurk 

"Let’s hope, for the sake of our country’s future, that guilty Democrats begin to pay a price.  Forgive me for not holding my breath." 

https://townhall.com/political-cartoons/afbranco/2025/11/25/212978

 "By now everyone is aware that six Democrats in Congress created videos in which they openly encourage members of the U.S. military and Intelligence Community to mutiny against the commander in chief.  They couched their seditious statements in the pretense that they are interested only in protecting the Constitution, but their message is unmistakable: Resist President Trump’s lawful orders, and we’ll have your backs.

"Americans whose minds have not been pickled by leftism are not impressed.  The Democrat instigators have been called “TikTok Traitors,” the “Seditious Six,” the “Idiot Six,” and worse.  President Trump immediately accused the lawmakers of sedition and demanded that they be arrested and stand trial for their potentially deadly provocations.  In response, the Democrat provocateurs have pretended to be outraged that the commander in chief would correctly describe their seditious actions as seditious.

"Democrat word games have become so exhausting over the last thirty years.  Remember when Bill Clinton lied about his affair with twenty-two-year-old White House intern Monica Lewinsky by telling a grand jury, “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is”?  No matter how corrupt American politicians were before Clinton’s galling equivocation, it has seemed as if rhetorical obfuscation began exponentially accelerating after that moment.  

"Fast-forward to 2025, and former CIA director John Brennan is entirely comfortable going on national news shows and telling the world that he and fifty other “intelligence professionals” never lied about Hunter Biden’s “laptop from Hell” being Russian disinformation because the spies clearly stated in their 2020 pre-election op-ed defending the Bidens that the laptop’s treasure trove of criminality had merely “the hallmarks” of a Russian operation.  If Americans were confused about their attempt to blame Hunter’s crimes on the Russians, that’s because Americans are poor readers!  

"Senator Elissa Slotkin — one of the “Seditious Six,” a former CIA analyst, and a protégée of John Brennan — is busy playing the same sick word games as Slick Willy and commie Brennan.  She claims that her seditious video is meant only to draw attention to President Trump’s “illegal orders,” but when she is pressed to name one such “illegal order,” she admits that she is “not aware” of any.  

"If Slotkin can’t identify any of President Trump’s orders as illegal, why is she making videos encouraging rank insubordination among America’s military and intelligence personnel?  The Democrats are executing the exact same playbook that they have been using against Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.  For months, Democrat governors and lawmakers have threatened federal agents with future prosecution for doing nothing more than enforcing existing immigration law and arresting criminal illegal aliens in their states.  In order to protect millions of foreign nationals from deportation, Democrats have been obstructing law enforcement operations by promising to punish officers who do their jobs." . . .  More...
