The Democrats Are Becoming More Extreme; And the new radical extremes are only the beginning.

 They have degraded education; journalism; entertainment; even TV channels as a whole. TD

"But Mamdani wasn’t elected by New Yorkers, but a minority coalition between urban leftists and Muslim occupants, while native New Yorkers mostly sat out the election."


"A recent poll showed current Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who had worked in Cuba with the Marxist Venceremos Brigade trailing Councilwoman Nithya Raman, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Only 24% of Los Angeles residents approve of the job that Bass is doing, which included the worst wildfires in the city’s history, while 47% disapprove.

"If disappointed voters replace Bass with an even more extreme version, that will be in line with what happened in New York City where a widely despised former Mayor Bill de Blasio was, after a one term break to make room for former Mayor Eric Adams, swapped out for Zohran Mamdani, who described him as a role model. Even only 100 days into his term, usually the political ‘honeymoon’ period, Mamdani’s approval rating is at only 43%. And the majority of New Yorkers believe that the city is headed in the wrong direction.

"In Chicago, former Mayor Lori Lightfoot, widely hated by voters, was replaced with Mayor Brandon Johnson, who made Lightfoot seem responsible, civil and moderate. Johnson’s approval ratings have recently been in the twenties, but the extremist teachers’ union hack may well be replaced by someone even worse. Possibilities include Alderman Byron Sigcho Lopez who spoke in front of a burned American flag at a pro-terrorist rally, and would move the city even further leftward.

"Democrats are in a downward spiral towards further extremes even as their poll ratings sink.

"In Maine, Democrats may well find themselves stuck with Graham Platner, a rich kid pretending to be a fisherman, who boasted of being a Communist, had a Nazi tattoo and praised a Hamas attack. In Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, a Muslim who called for abolishing ICE and ‘choking out’ political opponents, who claimed that many in Dearborn mourned Iran’s Jihadist leader, and who has been campaigning with Hasan Piker, a social media influencer who celebrated Hamas and mourned the fall of the USSR, is running neck and neck in the Democrat primary." . . .

Springsteen’s N.J. concert was poisoned by hypocrisy. Anti-Trump final act is a tragic mistake

 Bobby Olivier - nj.com  

"But even if Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones or Taylor Swift uses a premier ticket pricing system, none of them are also exalting themselves as the cavalry coming to rescue democracy from the clutches of fat-cat bureaucrats as they march to the bank."


. . . "One problem: It’s all hypocritical crap. Profiteering over legitimate protest. Springsteen’s artistic identity, as a bleeding-heart populist who sings for the destitute and downtrodden, has never been more disconnected from his economic behavior as a touring act or businessman. The blue-collar troubadour now charges exorbitant amounts for his tickets — up to $2,900 retail for the best seats in Newark Monday; prices he agreed to despite fan backlash. He’s selling “No Kings” branded flags for $90 in the arena concourse. And last week, his merchandise distributor got an injunction passed to ban bootleg T-shirt sales outside the venue, even as crews of independent sellers — fine examples of working-class people he’s romanticized for 50 years — hawk merch at nearly every other Prudential Center show without issue.

"The unrecognizable reality of the 2026 Springsteen experience, coupled with this tour’s political framing — an exploitation of American division and outrage in a manner no better than any cable news pundit — is a damning contradiction, a lapse in logic. It threatens to tarnish the final act of Bruce’s career and is no small tragedy for New Jersey’s greatest rock star." . . 
.. . "Now Springsteen’s offering plate runneth over, as power and money are held above the people he serves, the people that made him — just like the administration he chastises."His impulse, to preserve his standing as rock’s last great prophet in the most commercial way imaginable, is shameful and frankly, a bit boring in its perceived antagonism. Of all the themes for a tour, he’s pitching anti-Trump ... in the president’s second term? Singing to 15,000 fans who already agree with him or they wouldn’t have spent a car payment (or two) on a ticket? What a revolutionary." . . .  More...


Another One Gone: Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick Resigns, Skirting an Expulsion Vote on Ethics Violations

 Dive DeeperFlorida Democrat Faces Possible Expulsion From Congress After Being Found Guilty of 25 Ethics Violations

Damning Ethics Findings Fuel Expulsion Push for Rep Cherfilus-McCormick: ‘Substantial’ Evidence of Fraud


"Democrat Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (FL-20) has tendered her resignation effective Tuesday, 1:30 p.m. ET. 

"As RedState reported on March 27, the House Ethics Commission found Cherfilus-McCormick guilty on 25 of 27 ethics violations, including violating campaign finance laws after she accepted more than $5 million in FEMA funds for a family business, and then spent the bulk of that money to fund her 2022 congressional campaign.

"As is the stance of many a politician of late, Cherfilus-McCormick expressed outrage, cried racism, and claimed it was a witch hunt to distract from the Epstein Files. However, after the ethics verdict came out, Cherfilus-McCormick had a "come to Jesus" meeting with her Democrat caucus to get an idea of whether she had the votes to avoid being expelled. 

"The fact that Republican Rep. Ana Paulina Luna (FL-13) wanted her head on a platter probably added to the pressure. 

"Before a vote on her expulsion, Cherfilus-McCormick submitted her formal resignation letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson.

I hereby resign my office from 119th Congress as Representative for Florida's 20th Congressional District, effective Tuesday April 21, 2026: 1:30 p.m.

It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve the people of my district. I remain proud of the work we have accomplished on behalf of our communities.

After careful reflection and prayer, I have concluded that it is in the best interest of my constituents and the institution that I step aside at this time.

I remain committed to supporting a smooth transition and ensuring continuity of service for the district.

"However, on her Congressional X account, Cherfilus-McCormick once again cried foul, declaring that the process was not fair and that due process was not allowed to be fully meted out." . . .

Former Clinton Adviser Dick Morris Drops Major Bombshell About Bill and Hill's Marriage (VIDEO) |

 The Gateway Pundit | by Mike LaChance  

“It was a constant topic of conversation between then-President Clinton and myself, and the storminess of the Clinton marriage made that relevant.” 

"You may remember former Clinton adviser Dick Morris from his many cable news appearances over the years. This week, he appeared on Newsmax and dropped some major dirt about Bill and Hillary Clinton’s marriage problems over the years.

"According to Morris, when Bill Clinton was president, he actually had polling done to see how it would affect him if he divorced Hillary, or if she divorced him. And he did it several times. He apparently felt the need to keep checking the numbers.

"It just confirms what many people have believed for years, that the Clintons basically had a marriage that may have been about love at one point, but which eventually devolved into a relationship of political convenience.

"PJ Media has details:

Morris, who advised Clinton for years, as far back as his 1970s gubernatorial campaigns in Arkansas, appeared on Newsmax and dropped a bombshell that has somehow received far too little attention.

When host Rob Finnerty asked Morris to confirm the rumor, the answer was blunt.

“Yes, actually several times,” Morris said. “It was a constant topic of conversation between then-President Clinton and myself, and the storminess of the Clinton marriage made that relevant.”    More...

Do You Know the Date of Christ’s Return? You’re Probably in a Cult.

Pulpit & Pen  

“When a prophet speaks in the name of Yahweh, if the thing does not happen or come true, that is the thing which Yahweh has not spoken…” – Deuteronomy 18:22


"Let’s be blunt: If you believe you know the exact date of Jesus’ return, or you’re following someone who claims they do, you’re not more spiritual than the rest of the Church.

"You’re probably in a cult.

"And I don’t mean that flippantly. I mean you’re caught in a high-control belief system built around private revelation, failed prophecies, and spiritual manipulation. It may feel like passionate faith, but it’s disconnected from Scripture, church history, and sound doctrine.

If your first response is, “Yeah, but this time it’s different…” That’s what every cult thinks, including the ones that are now barely footnotes in history.

Post 1975 Blame the followers
Jesus Was Explicit: You Don’t Know the Day

"No riddles. No numeric codes. No feast-day theories. No   algorithms.

“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.” – Matthew 24:36 (LSB)

"Jesus didn’t say, “No one knows yet.” He said, “No one knows.”

"He didn’t say, “You’ll be able to calculate it if you’re really watching.” He said even the angels don’t know.

"In Acts 1:6–7, the disciples ask the resurrected Christ if the kingdom will be restored at that time. Jesus replies:

“It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set by His own authority.”

"That should have settled it. But many people today, like cult leaders and date-setters of the past, are functionally saying, “Actually, it is for us to know.”

"That’s not discernment. That’s defiance.

Over 250 journalists demand reporters 'forcefully' protest Trump at White House Correspondents' Dinner

 Will Don The Lemon be there as well?

NY Post 

 "Why would the President want to attend an event where he was not welcomed? These people don’t represent the majority of Americans, only their own self interests. It’s like watching Kimmel and Colbert on repeat, with the same ratings."

Toon added by TD

"Forget covering protests — some reporters think they should be the ones making the ruckus.

"A group of over 250 journalists implored members of the Beltway press corps to “forcefully demonstrate opposition” to President Trump at the ritzy White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday.

"Trump, 79, is set to attend the swanky dinner for the first time in his presidency. But the group of 250 reporters is demanding that the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) ensure he doesn’t feel welcome.

"We believe the White House Correspondents Association should take stronger action by issuing — from the podium — a forceful defense of freedom of the press and condemnation of those who threaten that freedom, followed by a standing toast to the First Amendment,” the letter to members of the WHCA said.

"“Speak forcefully, in front of the man who seeks to undermine our country’s long tradition of an independent, strong, and free press.”

"The WHCA, which represents the White House press corps, is organizing the annual dinner and has clashed with Trump repeatedly over the past year.

"Early last year, the White House press team began meddling in the pool rotation, in which outlets take turns getting special access to the president to share their notes and footage with everyone else.

"Historically, the WHCA has set the pool rotation. Notably, the White House has left the WHCA in charge of determining outlet seat locations in the press briefing room." . . . More...

The Lion Roars Again

"The president went on to affirm that “this is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their country.'”

March2, 2026; The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  
"Israelis woke at 8:30 AM on Saturday to the sound of a nationwide siren. There was no imminent threat. It was the Home Front Command’s wake-up call to the nation that the Israeli military had carried out joint strikes with the United States earlier that morning against Iran, and to be on high alert for retaliation. (RELATED: Iran’s Fatal Miscalculation)
"Shabbat morning rituals were put aside momentarily in order to clean out the in-home bomb shelters of old furniture and storage items to make room for pillows, blankets, and cases of water. Public bomb shelters were unlocked and, as rehearsed last June, neighborhood residents claimed their corners and set up camp. (RELATED: America Visits Iran)
"Thirty hours later, by the close of Sunday evening, Israel’s “Operation Roaring Lion” had decimated Iran’s missile and air defense systems, taken out top Iranian military and government officials, including the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and had established air superiority over Tehran. But not without fatal collateral at home. (RELATED: The Line That Held on Iran)
"The opening “Genesis” waves of Roaring Lion on Saturday morning included about 200 Israeli fighter jets carrying out the largest military flyover in Israeli Air Force history, dropping hundreds of munitions on military targets in western Iran. The operation was carried out jointly with the U.S. military. Israeli forces focused on targeting Iranian missile storage, production, and launch sites and air defense systems, while the U.S. targeted Iran’s nuclear program facilities and the headquarters and command centers of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Ayatollah’s regime.
"The attack came on the heels of stalled talks between the U.S. and Iran, after Iran refused to agree to U.S. President Trump’s terms to dismantle its nuclear program, limit ballistic missile capabilities, and abandon its sponsorship of terrorist proxy groups such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen. Since the so-called 12-Day war last June, Iran continued to advance and conceal its remaining nuclear assets, rehabilitate its missile arsenal (with the help of Russia and China), and finance, train, and arm regional proxies." . . .More...

The US Navy Just Fired on an Iranian Ship. Here's Why

 AI Telly

"How did the American Navy end up firing upon an Iranian container ship navigating the Gulf of Oman? It began with a standoff, as the Navy delivered repeated warnings over a span of several hours. The final escalation came when multiple rounds were fired into the massive ship, instantly disabling its engines and triggering an internal fire. But how is a modern naval gun capable of firing three explosive rounds in mere seconds? The secret lies below deck: an advanced autoloader backed by a nearly endless magazine of ammunition. Watch how it operates: the system mechanically loads the artillery, fires, and immediately ejects the spent casing. This brings us to the ultimate question: how do military forces physically seize a colossal container ship The Navy relies on the Marines. Deployed from amphibious ships, they rappel down from hovering helicopters to systematically secure and clear the decks."

Democrats wait for Trump to chicken out

Iran's dire Strait of Hormuz - Eric Utter

  . . . "I, for one, would love to see this war wrapped up … as long as our terms are fully met. The problem, as I and others have stated before, is that nothing the Iranians in power say or agree to, whoever they may be at the moment, can ever be trusted. Ever. No ceasefire. No truce. No pact. No promise. No solemn vow. Radical Islamists will always use these peace instruments to their advantage."

The Navy Channel   "The US Navy has escalated tensions in the Middle East after attacking and seizing an Iranian cargo ship near the Strait of Hormuz. In this video, we break down the full operation involving the USS Spruance (DDG-111), US Marines, and the growing US naval presence in the region.

"This incident marks a major turning point in the ongoing geopolitics of the region, as the US enforces a maritime blockade against Iran. We analyze what happened during the interception of the vessel Touska, how US warships operate in the Strait of Hormuz, and what this could mean for a potential US war with Iran. "We also cover the arrival of major US naval reinforcements, including carrier strike groups, destroyers, and mine warfare units, highlighting the increasing importance of demining and US mine clearance operations in the Strait of Hormuz. "With rising tensions, attacks on commercial shipping, and a growing US military buildup, this situation could have global consequences for energy markets, security, and international trade." . . .

Dad, I can’t give you any details, but if civilians knew what we knew, a lot of the criticism [of the war] would cease.”

"Those words carry enormous weight coming from a warrior who gave his life in service to the nation. Master Sgt. Simmons knew the real threats on the ground and in the intelligence briefings — the kind of information the American public rarely sees. He understood that much of the loud criticism from the media and political class comes from people who don’t have the full picture and never will.". . .

The Perils of a Grand Bargain with Iran

 American Greatness 

Talk of a “grand bargain” with Iran revives a failed playbook of concessions and deception that history shows only strengthens Tehran’s regime. 

"Both the president and vice president have thrown out the term “grand bargain” in recent days to describe their aspirations for a deal with the Iranian rump regime.

"It’s a term fraught with past failures that screams Iranian deception, not the interests of America First.

"Bill Clinton was the first to use the phrase toward the end of his second term to describe his aspiration to end a low-intensity conflict that had been simmering for 20 years.

"He appointed David R. Andrews as “Special Negotiator” for the mostly secret talks. Just as today, among the top Iranian demands was for the US to lift economic sanctions, which at the time included a total US trade embargo, secondary sanctions on foreign oil and gas companies investing in Iran, and the release of Iranian funds held by the US Treasury.

"Those Treasury funds were a carefully kept secret. At the time, I was engaged as a consultant to attorneys representing Stephen Flatow, whose daughter Elyssa had been murdered by Iranian-backed terrorists in Israel in 1996.

"We queried the Treasury Department about the existence of Iranian funds frozen since the 1979 revolution to pay for the Shah’s weapons purchases from the US, and were told such a fund did not exist.

"And then, lo and behold, in late 2000, the Justice Department found that the Treasury had simply destroyed all the documents. Clinton eventually released the funds—not to the Iranians, for the talks had by then collapsed—but to the Iranian regime’s US victims.

"Obama later claimed he was releasing the same frozen funds when he sent pallets of cash totaling $1.7 billion to Iran in 2016. And yes, those payments were another attempt at reaching a “grand bargain” with Iran." . . .

 . . . "Such a deal must include ironclad guarantees for the Iranian people that the regime will not use violence against peaceful protestors and, if it does, that it will face US military reprisals. After all, Donald Trump is leaving office in January 2029, and we will never have another president like him. We don’t want to have to repeat this war in another 10 years." . . .

Because if Democrats win, relations with terrorist states will be run by the same airheads dealing with them the past few decades, giving preference to those who call for death to allies that have stood by our nation for generations. Israel has been forced to dominate her enemies since we keep replacing competent leaders with feckless Democrats like Biden, Kamala, Obama, and anybody you may see refusing to stand at any Republican SOTU.  TD
