Meet the Man Who Murdered the Democratic Party
Posted By: Dreadnought, 4/17/2025 12:26:48 AM
A pair of earthshattering, history-altering, Chris Christie-sized stories broke this week, but they’ve (mostly) skated beneath the political periphery. That’s because you can’t grasp the sheer enormity of the consequences until you connect them together. On their own, they’re inconsequential, back-of-the-page news stories — scarcely soliciting a shoulder shrug from political wonks. But together, as a one-two punch, it will change American politics forever. And it will murder the modern Democratic Party. There’s been a slow-moving coup… but nobody’s noticed! It’s tied to the larger political realignment nationally:

Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) is frantically backpedaling after his ill-conceived El Salvador publicity stunt blew up in his face. The Maryland Democrat, who initially trumpeted his mission to "rescue" a deported MS-13 gang member, is now desperately trying to rewrite the script of his adventure gone wrong.
When Van Hollen first landed in the country, he couldn't wait to broadcast his virtuous mission to the world. "I just landed in San Salvador," he proclaimed proudly, promising to secure the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whom he claimed was "illegally abducted."
Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that Democratic strategist James Carville believed in “timid” politics.
Host Jake Tapper said, “Let’s talk about what you did this week raising a lot of eyebrows here in Washington, D.J. You announced this week you’re the Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee, but you’re raising $20 million to boost primary challengers running in safe Democratic seats against incumbent Democrats.”
He added, “Here’s James Carville.”
President Donald Trump wants to help illegal migrants self-deport from the United States as some of his supporters complain about the slower-than-hoped pace of deportations and Democrats launch a massive resistance.
“We’re doing a self-deportation [program], and we’re going to make it comfortable for people, and we’re going to work with those people to come back into our country legally — the good ones,” Trump told the Spanish-language division of Fox News. He added:
The only thing I haven’t determined is what are we going to do? We’re going to give him a stipend, we’re going to give him some money and a plane ticket,
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday reported “good progress” on negotiations for a mineral rights deal between Ukraine and the United States.
“The basic legal stuff is almost finalized, and then, if everything moves as quickly and constructively, the agreement will bring economic results to both our countries,” Zelensky said in his daily address to the Ukrainian people. According to Svyrydenko, Ukrainian negotiators have “adjusted several items within a draft agreement.” If the American side is satisfied with those adjustments, a memorandum of intent could be signed very soon.
Zelensky’s remarks echoed the assessment given by Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, who said “significant progress” has been made on the deal.
Gaza? Tunnels? Tehran? Yes, the IDF hit Hamas in all of those places, including in Iran's capital when Israel took out its top leader Ismail Haniyeh.
However, the Wall Street Journal reports that the IDF and Israeli intelligence have struck hardest at the heart of Hamas -- its wallet:
Israel last month cut off supplies of humanitarian goods to the enclave, some of which Hamas had been seizing and selling to raise funds, according to Arab, Israeli and Western officials. Its renewed offensive has targeted and killed Hamas officials who played important roles in distributing cash to cadres and sent others into hiding, Arab intelligence officials said.

So much for the "he criticized Democrats" narrative that formed around Cody Balmer. The arsonist targeted Josh Shapiro and his family over perceived slights to "the people of Palestine," according to police search warrants, as well as Shapiro's Jewish faith.
The timing of the attack -- on Passover -- strongly suggested domestic terrorism in the first place. Now police and prosecutors claim they have evidence to back up that assumption, as well as evidence of Balmer's left-wing extremism ... in the familiar form of Che Fever:

The Internal Revenue Service is making plans to rescind the tax-exempt status of Harvard University, according to two sources familiar with the matter, which would be an extraordinary step of retaliation as the Trump administration seeks to turn up pressure on the university that has defied its demands to change its hiring and other practices.
A final decision on rescinding the university’s tax exemption is expected soon, the sources said.
The administration already has blocked more than $2 billion in funding from the nation’s oldest university, which is fighting the White House’s policy demands, citing the constitutional right of private universities to determine their own teaching practices.
A distant ocean-covered world, teeming with life.
That's the most likely explanation for a new discovery made by scientists, who say they have detected the most promising signs yet of life outside our solar system.
Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the astronomers, led by the University of Cambridge, have identified the chemical fingerprints dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) – molecules that indicate life.
Here on Earth, these molecules are only produced by living organisms – primarily microbial life such as marine phytoplankton.
The molecules have been detected in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18b, which is located around 124 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Leo.
The United Kingdom’s supreme court ruled Wednesday that males who identify as women do not fall qualify as women under anti-discrimination law, a monumental decision that will have major consequences for British law.
The high court defined “woman” based on sex rather than gender identity, keeping it within the bounds of scientific reality rather than giving into the demands of left-wing activists. The ruling specifically addressed Britain’s 2010 Equality Act, an anti-discrimination law that covers nine protected characteristics and applies to various sectors of British life.
Two service members were killed and another is in serious condition following a vehicle accident earlier Tuesday in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, the United States Northern Command (NORTHCOM) said in a statement.
Shortly before 9 a.m. "Three service members deployed in support of Joint Task Force Southern Border were involved in a vehicle accident," NORTHCOM said.
Tuesday's accident are the first fatalities associated with the United States military's mission along the border with Mexico that have been disclosed.
More than 10,000 active duty service members have been authorized for the border mission.
The cause of the accident is under investigation, officials said.
I’m often darkly amused by common examples of inherently false nomenclature: “Jumbo shrimp.” “Government ethics.” “Unbiased news media.”
And one of our society’s biggest falsehoods-in-a-name: “Non-governmental organizations.”
Until recently these groups have been widely seen as international, idealized versions of domestic non-profits.
We thought of them as do-good organizations set up by people who really care — about the environment, or poor people, or children, or freedom. We imagined they raise money, help the downtrodden, send out press releases and engage in other private activities to promote the causes they favor. They’re not government entities, we thought

A Maryland father wrongly deported to El Salvador and held in a notoriously violent prison told a U.S. senator that he was traumatized by the experience.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia reported to Sen. Chris Van Hollen during a meeting in El Salvador that he was moved nine days ago from that country's Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT, to another facility with better conditions.
Abrego Garcia said he had been traumatized by his time in CECOT and that he had been taunted by other prisoners.
“He said he felt very sad about being in a prison because he had not committed any crimes,” Van Hollen said.

A group of British Muslims of Iranian origin, led by Anjem Choudary, is threatening to file a lawsuit before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
They allege that Spain's traditional Holy Week processions are an “offense to Islam” and to the Prophet Muhammad, demanding their immediate ban.
The Muslim group intends to sue Spain in Strasbourg over these Catholic processions, with Choudary arguing that these religious events, rooted in Catholic tradition since 1978, are a “provocation” against Muslims.
Anti-Trumpers are planning a massive, nationwide protest against President Donald Trump as part of actions from the 50501 movement over Easter weekend.
The 50501 movement works under the phrase, “50 protests. 50 states. 1 movement” and describes itself as a group fighting to “uphold the Constitution and end executive overreach.” The organization’s next “day of action” falls on Saturday, April 19 — the day before Easter Sunday. “We are trying to protect our democracy against the rise of authoritarianism under the Trump administration,” Hunter Dunn, a spokesperson for the group, said according to the Washington Post. They claim that their group is not partisan in nature,
Notorious race hustler and far-left activist Reverend Al Sharpton won’t let diversity, equity, and inclusion go down without a fight.
The Associated Press reported Thursday that Sharpton and other members of his National Action Network met with Target Chief Executive Officer Brian Cornell.

Essentially, Sharpton, who called his meeting with Cornell “very constructive and candid,” aims to blackmail any company no longer trying to hammer customers and employees with DEI drivel.

But former first lady seemingly sent a signal to skeptics of her relationship as she proudly wore her diamond engagement and wedding rings as she visited The Academy headquarters in North Hollywood.
However, her husband Barack Obama was nowhere to be seen as she made a public outing with her brother and new podcast cohost Craig Robinson.

margaritas' with deported illegal in El Salvador 18 replies
The Democrat senator who traveled to El Salvador to meet with a deported illegal migrant and alleged MS-13 member was seen drinking what appeared to be margaritas, infuriating many online.
Chris Van Hollen, the junior senator from Maryland, met Thursday in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man who was sent there by the Trump administration in March despite an immigration court order preventing his deportation.
But it was his decision to sip margaritas with Abrego Garcia, as El Salvador´s President Nayib Bukele put it, that caused a wave of outrage.
Representative Debbie Dingell (D-MI) claimed on Friday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that the Trump administration was attacking the freedoms of speech, religion and the press.
Co-host Pamala Brown said, “You talk about due process, that brings me to the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen was able to finally get a face to face meeting with him. The administration admitted that he was wrongly deported to El Salvador. Where do you think this goes from here?”
Dingell said, “You know, I don’t know where it goes. I’m glad that the senator was able to see him yesterday.”
Tyler Fischer, a comedian who appeared occasionally on Fox News‘ “Gutfeld!” primetime show, claims the network has “kicked me off” for his “woke crime” of asking “an employee out for coffee.” But Fischer’s interaction with the female Fox News employee reportedly disturbed the staffer to the to the point where she called for assistance from security.
“After almost 2 years I will no longer be on @Gutfeldfox TV show. Sadly, they have gone full woke and kicked me off for a reason that is beyond hard to believe,” Fischer wrote in

The Democrats constantly talk about how they want ‘big money’ to get out of politics. Yet the DNC is holding a fundraiser next month with tickets starting at a mere $25,000.
For this massive amount, attendees will get to hear the 2024 losing candidate Kamala Harris cackle her way through the evening. Who wouldn’t want to spend this kind of cash for such a great night?
The Democrats have basically become the party of the super rich and the super poor.

New York— An emotional former opinion page editor for The New York Times delivered a tearful apology Thursday to Sarah Palin as he testified about a 2017 editorial that she says damaged her reputation.
James Bennet testified that he “blew it” when he erroneously wrote that the former Alaska governor’s political action committee had contributed to an atmosphere of violence before a member of Congress was severely wounded in a 2011 mass shooting in Arizona.
The Times has acknowledged the editorial was inaccurate but said it quickly corrected the “honest mistake.”
Bennet got choked up and teary as he apologized to the onetime Republican vice presidential candidate,
Rosie O’Donnell made good on her promise to leave the country if Donald Trump returned to the White House.
And apparently, she had a good reason for her personal health. Rosie O’Donnell has admitted she was “drinking too much” during Donald Trump’s first term in the White House - and during his recent presidential campaign, she vowed she would leave the country if he was elected again. The American talk show host revealed last month that she and her 12-year-old child Clay moved to Dublin, Ireland, to escape the Trump presidency. Since her grandparents were Irish, she is eligible to get citizenship, but said her application has yet to be approved.
