Democrats’ Confederacy of Dunces

Three hundred years ago, the remarkable satirist Jonathan Swift wrote, “When a true Genius appears in the World, you may know him by this infallible Sign; that the Dunces are all in Confederacy against him.”
Now, you might not be President Trump’s biggest fan. Perhaps you are glad that he has returned to the White House but look forward to one of his capable lieutenants succeeding him in four years. But I would argue that never has a larger collection of absolute idiots assembled to oppose an American leader, and for that reason alone, Donald J. Trump is probably a genius. (And a very stable one at that!)
Congressional Republicans are the absolute worst, for many reasons, but this time, it has to do with the “big” and “beautiful” tax bill that’s working its way toward Donald Trump’s desk—Republicans, despite holding both houses, as well as the Oval Office, are set to retain hundreds of billions of dollars in Green New Deal provisions, if they get their way.[Snip] Mike Johnson, like the serpent he is, craftily he touted the “$500 billion” in cuts, but ignored the hundreds of billions he and his cohorts retained or worse, expanded:
WASHINGTON — Joe Biden was never diagnosed with prostate cancer until last week, and the last time he was screened for it was more than a decade ago, a spokesperson for the former president said Tuesday. “President Biden’s last known PSA was in 2014. Prior to Friday, President Biden had never been diagnosed with prostate cancer,” the spokesperson said. (Snip) In recent years, doctors have increasingly begun screening for the disease in older patients. President Donald Trump, 78, received a PSA screening as recently as this year, according to medical records released by the White House. Since he revealed his
A Virginia church is encouraging its congregants to speak out against a school district where a transgender male student allegedly videotaped boys in a locker room. A father of one of those boys [said] that his son is among those being investigated by the district for sexual harassment. "He was questioning why there was a female in the males' locker room,". "And other boys were uncomfortable [with a female in the boys' locker room]. There were other boys asking the same question. "They [LCPS] created a very uncomfortable situation. They're young, they're 15 years old. They're expressing their opinions, and now they're being targeted for expressing those opinions."
An adult Venezuelan migrant and father allegedly pretended to be a 16-year-old boy so he could enroll in an Ohio high school — and even played two sports with kids nearly a decade younger, according to police.
Anthony Emmanuel Labrador Sierra is accused of falsely presenting himself as an unaccompanied minor and enrolling at Perrysburg High School, southwest of Toledo, in January last year — and tricking a family into taking him in, according to police.
When he first contacted the school in November 2023, he allegedly claimed that he had been trafficked to the US from Venezuela
Here Are 9 Questions About The Biden White
House That Must Be Answered After Cancer Diagnosis replies
House That Must Be Answered After Cancer Diagnosis replies
It is now socially safe to state the obvious out loud. Former President Joe Biden was not physically or mentally healthy enough to be president. And based on his 2020 presidential campaign when he was often hidden from public view and mostly stayed home, Biden was probably not even well enough to campaign.
The reason that talk of Biden’s poor health makes the left bristle is because it triggers a big question that can only lead to possibly the biggest presidential scandal in our nation’s history.
A U.S. president pursuing peace
replies
It’s gratifying to see President Donald Trump personally pursuing peace and reconciliation in a world ravaged by war and conflict. His dictum that “we have no permanent enemies” is a powerful statement coming from the leader of the free world. Fortunately, the subject changed from more weapons that can kill more people, to what we must do to stop these wars, killing so many innocent people.
What Mr. Trump has accomplished since being sworn in as president on January 20, 2025, is impressive.
On April 26, terrorists shot 26 civilians in Pahalgam, Kashmir and on May 7th, India retaliated by attacking terrorist bases in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, in addition
Across the country, a new defense is being heard in state and federal courtrooms. From Democratic members of Congress to judges to city council members, officials claim that their duties include obstructing the official functions of the federal government.
It is a type of liberal license that excuses almost any crime in the name of combating what Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz called the “modern-day Gestapo” of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The latest claimant of this license is Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), who was charged with assaulting, resisting, and impeding law enforcement officers during a protest at Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey.
Parental rights groups filed a lawsuit against the state of Colorado on Monday over a newly-signed law forcing people to use transgender individuals’ preferred name and pronouns or risk investigations, lawsuits and fines.
Democrat Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed the law on Friday which declares “deadnaming and misgendering” as “discriminatory acts” prohibited by the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act. Defending Education, Do No Harm and others allege the law violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments and “cannot stifle viewpoints it doesn’t like simply because it finds those views offensive or disagreeable.”
“Colorado can’t seem to stop losing at the Supreme Court on constitutional challenges to its anti-discrimination laws.
An impeachment inciter is eyeing a new opportunity to serve the Democratic Party in the state where woke goes to die, and the laughter can’t be contained.
Years after being hailed as a “whistleblower” for his role as lead witness in the first impeachment of President Donald Trump over the GOP leader’s “perfect” phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, retired Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman is suggesting he has new political aspirations. Though reluctant to make himself a “sacrificial player,” the Ukrainian-born social media flamethrower is considering a Senate bid in Florida.
Speaking with CBS New Miami, Vindman said of the potential challenge to appointed incumbent Florida Sen. Ashley Moody (R),
Ah, Jeffrey Epstein. We finally have an official statement from our own side, and it contradicts every last thing our own side has believed now for years.
Let’s all approach this analytically.
I would be willing to bet that no one reading this right now was there in that jail cell. No one reading right now was on the island, on the plane, or anywhere else relevant to the case. We have secondhand knowledge at best. It is easy to believe a conspiracy theory. It is hard to admit it if you are wrong.
Do I think serious crimes were committed? Yes.
A Christian camp that has been operating since 1948 in Colorado is suing the state after the camp was told that it had to accommodate gender expression in bathrooms and a variety of other spaces.
"They feel like they're honoring God in what they're doing, and I feel like they should do that, to operate in a way that's consistent with that," camp volunteer and mother Leah Rohwer told CBS News in an interview.
The camp, known as Camp IdRaHaje, which is short for "I'd Rather Have Jesus," has refused to obey the state government's demands that it accommodate gender expression in camp facilities.
The U.S. Senate will vote within days on overturning California’s stringent and influential regulations mandating 100% electric vehicle sales by 2035, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Tuesday.
The move has massive implications for the U.S. auto industry and represents a dramatic break from past procedure by Senate Republicans.
“While the Biden EPA EV mandate was bad,” Thune, a South Dakota Republican, said in a floor speech, “California is much worse." The Senate measure, which only needs a simple majority to pass, would nix a waiver granted late in the Biden administration for California to set nation-leading emissions standards
The defense team for an illegal alien accused of killing 27-year-old Washington State Trooper Christopher Gadd last year failed to get the case thrown out. The defense claimed prosecutors had colluded with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in violation of Washington’s sanctuary state law.
In March 2024, 34-year-old illegal alien Raul Benitez Santana of Mexico, who had had several run-ins with the law, was arrested and charged with vehicular homicide in connection with Gadd’s death.
Prosecutors claim that Santana, while driving high and drunk, crashed into Gadd, who was on the shoulder of an interstate in Snohomish County, killing him. Gadd left behind his wife Cammryn and their young daughter.
Americans celebrating Memorial Day by hitting the road will likely be paying the cheapest gas prices since 2003.
GasBuddy, a fuel savings platform, said Tuesday that it forecasts the national average price of gasoline to be $3.08 per gallon on Memorial Day. That would make it the cheapest since 2021 in nominal terms. After adjusting for inflation, it would be the lowest since 2003.
This is not expected to be short-lived. Prices of gasoline are expected to average around $3.02 per gallon between Memorial Day and Labor Day, with prices falling below three dollars on some days.
A Texas sheriff’s deputy intercepted a pickup truck hauling a trailer packed with large round bales. Stuffed inside the hollowed-out bales were about a dozen illegal aliens being smuggled into the U.S. interior.
Fayette County, Texas, Sheriff Keith Korenek reported on Tuesday that drug interdiction Sgt. Randy Thumann stopped a white Ford F-250 pickup truck hauling a gooseneck hay trailer shortly after noon on Tuesday. Inside the round bales of hay, Thumann found about 12 migrants who were being smuggled into the interior of the country.
The traffic stop took place on Interstate 10 near the 658 mile marker between San Antonio and Houston.
The Orleans Parish Jail maintenance worker arrested in connection with the escape of 10 inmates from that jail on Friday reportedly said he was threatened with violence by the escapees before helping them get loose.
Sterling Williams, 33, an employee of the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office (OPSO), has been arrested and charged with 10 counts of principal to simple escape and malfeasance in office, according to a Tuesday morning statement from Attorney General Liz Murrill's office.
Murrill said that Williams turned the water off in the cell the inmates escaped from, and that instead of reporting the inmates, he helped them.
The Supreme Court ordered the Maine House of Representatives on Tuesday to restore the vote of a Republican lawmaker who was censured after she wrote an online post defending fairness in women’s sports and criticizing the intrusion of a trans-identifying male athlete into female competition.
Maine Representative Laurel Libby filed the emergency appeal to the Supreme Court while a lawsuit over the social media post plays out. In the post written earlier this year, Libby criticized a male high school athlete who won a girls’ track meet, and included in the post the male student’s name.

During a hearing held by the Senate Appropriations Committee’s Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs, Kaine questioned Rubio about the decision.

The US Supreme Court granted an emergency application restoring a Republican Maine State Rep’s voting privileges in the House after they were taken away over a social media post criticizing a transgender (bio male) high school athlete who participated in a girls pole vault competition and won.
Recall that the Maine House Speaker censured Rep. Laurel Libby, stripped her voting rights and demanded she apologize for her social media post.
Rep. Libby refused to apologize and took the fight all the way up to the US Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday in a 7-2 decision granted Rep. Libby an emergency application and restored her voting rights
RedState editor Bob Hoge reported Monday on “Guardian Angel,” the brainchild of U.S. Attorney for Los Angeles Bill Essayli, who was hand-picked by President Donald Trump from the California Assembly for just this type of action and oversight. Under Guardian Angel, Essayli has organized a federal task force made up of ICE, FBI, HSI, DEA, and ATF. The combined agencies work from an office in Downtown L.A., and they do a daily scan of criminal databases that contain fingerprint identification to isolate illegal aliens jailed throughout Southern California who have previously been deported from the U.S.
During the campaign and since his inauguration, President Trump has promised the construction of a Golden Dome missile and drone defense system to cover the continental United States. On Tuesday, the president, flanked by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Space Force General Michael Guetlein, announced details of what will comprise the Golden Dome as well as the implementation plan. The president stated at one point that he had promised the American people a cutting-edge missile shield, and said, "That's what we're doing." [Tweet, video]
