New Jersey Rep. Donald Norcross is facing an extended hospitalization following a serious medical emergency, his office announced. The Democrat, who represents the state’s 1st District, is currently in intensive care at Cooper University Hospital in Camden. Norcross, 66, suffered a medical event earlier this month while traveling in North Carolina. “Norcross was on a flight to New Jersey from Florida last weekend when he began to feel unwell, and the plane was diverted to North Carolina so that the 66-year-old congressman could be hospitalized,” the New Jersey Globe reported.

Actually, the seat held by SJL was filled by a former mayor of Houston, who also passed away last month. Congresscritters die and are in in rehab/health conditions all the time. Seems only a problem when a Democrat is involved. That being said, prayers for the recouperation and good health for the Congresscritter.

The other vacant Dem seat was held by Raul Grijalva. He died about a month ago. Dems have several others age 80+ including Mad Max Waters, Pelosi, and Clyburn.

To be honest, I always thought that Byrd fellow from Virginia was dead long before they admitted it. Someone else was voting for him.

I'm ok with this. Since so many refuse to retire and enjoy the fruits of their corruption, its better that they die in office never having really relaxed. I still maintain that this is why we haven't been allowed to conquer death. Sometimes it is the only way to get people to go away.

The money bid is in the form of an invitation to an event on Tuesday from 5:30 to 7 p.m. calling for contributions starting at $500 and climbing to an eye-popping $18,000, the maximum allowed by New York law, in support of her 2026 re-election bid.

Not that we didn't know that's what they wanted, but at least they're starting to be more honest about it. A viral post from a man named Nicholas Decker is going around that suggests a wild solution to the issue of Trump and conservatives: Just start killing them.Before I begin, I need to point out that Decker isn't just some random internet denizen. He's an economics PhD student at George Mason University, and continuing the trend of proving that having a higher education doesn't make you any smarter.

Democrat dominated Illinois has become the next left-wing state to defy President Trump’s rules banning transgender athletes from girls’ and women’s sports. After being quizzed on the issue for weeks, the Illinois High School Administration (IHSA), which governs schools sports in the state, has now affirmed that they will follow Illinois state laws passed by the state’s radical Democrats which forces participation of males who identify as females into girl’s and women’s sports. Consequently, the IHSA has now officially moved to defy President Trump’s efforts to protect females from the incursion of transgender athletes, WQRF-TV reported.

Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has called on “Americans of conscience” to stand against the deportation of MS-13 gang member and illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Abrego Garcia, of El Salvador, was deported on March 15, 2025, to his home country’s Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT). He had been illegally living in Maryland for nearly 15 years. In May 2021, Abrego Garcia’s wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, was granted a temporary protective order against him after she alleged he was subjecting her to domestic violence — including beating, scratching, and punching her.

I'm not sure who thought it was a good idea to vote for David Hogg for DNC vice chair. But he's there now, and as Scott Pinsker at our sister site PJ Media reported, what he's planning to do may just kill the Democratic Party. Hogg is doing something that is unprecedented as a DNC vice chair. He's planning on spending big -- $20 million -- to take down other Dems, to primary "ineffective, asleep-at-the-wheel" Democrats with his "Leaders We Deserve" group. It’s an unprecedented, and controversial, move from a national officer within the Democratic Party that will enrage some insiders. Democratic Party committees

Another Biden meltdown. Former President Joe Biden was smuggled into Harvard University for a surprise appearance Wednesday — during which he clumsily dropped his ice cream bar on the floor and mistakenly referred to Ukraine as Iraq. The 82-year-old’s discussion with roughly 50 students at the Ivy League school’s Institute of Politics was marked by embarrassing blunders similar to those that plagued his disastrous and short-lived 2024 re-election campaign, the Harvard Crimson reported.

“Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is currently the most likely Democrat to lead the party’s presidential ticket in 2028 if she decides to run, election data whiz Nate Silver predicted. Silver made his early call in the form of a “2028 Democratic primary draft” discussion on his “Silver Bulletin” Substack with former FiveThirtyEight podcast host Galen Druke, who beat him to the pick. “F–k you,” Silver quipped after Druke named Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) as his first choice for the 2028 Dem primary. “That was going to be my f****** first pick!” (Photo) Druke pointed to a recent Yale University poll that found Ocasio-Cortez had one of the highest net favorability ratings

A majority of voters favor deporting all illegal immigrants from the United States, despite the ongoing leftist narrative suggesting otherwise — particularly when it comes to the recently deported El Salvadorian national, an alleged member of MS-13 whom Democrats are desperately seeking to return. The latest data comes straight from CNN, which found that 56 percent support deporting an estimated 11 million illegal aliens residing in the United States. This is significantly up from 38 percent who said the same in 2016. (X Video) In other words, the American people are on the side of President Donald Trump’s illegal immigration policies regardless of the narrative offered by the radical left.

Aggressive enforcement actions along the U.S.-Mexico border led to a nearly 94 percent drop in the apprehension of illegal aliens attempting to enter the United States. The apprehension of migrants by Border Patrol agents fell to approximately 263 per day during the first two months of the Trump administration from more than 4,600 per day during the same period last year. According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Southwest Land Border Encounters Report for March, Border Patrol agents arrested 15,527 migrants who illegally crossed the border from Mexico into the United States during the first two full months of the Trump administration.

Woof. Mother Jones republished an article from fellow progressive outlet The Guardian on Saturday that argued that while dogs may be man's best friend, they're Mother Nature's "villains." The left-wing magazine highlighted new research, originally published by The Guardian, that concluded dogs have "extensive and multifarious" environmental impacts, disturbing wildlife, polluting waterways and contributing to carbon emissions. It pinpointed how canines are disturbing native wildlife, particularly shore birds. An Australian review of existing studies published in Pacific Conservation Biology analyzed dog attacks on other animals, finding that it may account for the colony collapse of little penguins in Tasmania, while a study of animals taken to the Australia Zoo wildlife hospital

David Hogg is exactly what we expect from a citizen touched by unthinkable tragedy. Having survived the 2018 massacre at Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, he immediately dove into constructive political action, first on serious gun reform, and then within Democratic party politics, rising to his present position as DNC vice-chairman.

It is a perfect example of something that is in the right place. but at the wrong time. From Politico: Leaders We Deserve, which Hogg co-founded in 2023, announced

The Globe and Mail quoted multiple Canadian lawyers on Tuesday who said they were “overwhelmed” by the number of calls from alarmed transgender Americans seeking a way to claim political asylum in Canada. Some calls are also from parents whose children are being subjected to medical procedures in response to alleged gender dysmorphia, which the Trump administration has referred to as “child sexual mutilation” and vowed to eradicate.

The move hinges on the “blue slip” tradition in which home-state senators can effectively block a nominee if they do not support the individual. “Donald Trump has made clear he has no fidelity to the law and intends to use the Justice Department, the U.S. Attorney offices and law enforcement as weapons to go after his perceived enemies,” Schumer said in a statement. He added, “Such blatant and depraved political motivations are deeply corrosive to the rule of law and leaves me deeply skeptical
