Dems Throw An Anti-Trump Temper Tantrum
— Does It Matter?
Posted By: RockyTCB, 11/6/2025 8:27:58 AM
If Republicans had any hopes of scoring surprise election victories on Tuesday, they were absolutely crushed. The loss was sweeping. In New Jersey and Virginia, the Republican candidates did worse than Donald Trump just one year ago. And in Virginia, Democrats picked up at least 10 seats in the state legislature. New York elected its most radical mayor in its history. Californians voted by an almost 3-to-1 margin to redraw the state’s districts to squeeze out five more seats for Democrats. All of these elections had one thing in common – they were akin to a primal scream about President Donald Trump.

Anyone wondering about the value of a college education these days should look at the exit polls out of New York City. Because they show quite clearly that the more time you spend in college, the more ignorant you become.
Among other things, the exit polls show that Zohran Mamdani’s victory came entirely because of the support he got from those who were college educated – 57% of whom voted for the inexperienced radical socialist immigrant born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Just 42% of those without a college education were foolish enough to want this wrecking ball

With the never-ending swirl of action around President Donald Trump, it’s often hard to tell how voters perceive his actions. In this month’s I&I/TIPP Poll, there’s been some erosion in Trump’s scores from voters as they pause to ponder the dizzying array of issues he is tackling.
With everything from military attacks on drug cartels to trying to keep the Israeli-Hamas Oct. 10 ceasefire from unraveling to going on a wide trade swing through Asia (including finalizing a trade deal with China), Trump’s October was filled with action on several prominent issues.
Despite what Trump supporters might consider
New York City voters are expected to elect Zohran Mamdani today to be their mayor. Do not make the mistake of thinking this is an aberration. His rise is the natural regression of the Democratic Party.
While the Democratic Socialists of America don’t cotton to the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party is in league with the Democratic Socialists. Barack Obama, the titular head of a party that for the moment has no leadership otherwise, recently called Mamdani “to offer his support” and “offered to be a ‘sounding board'” for the candidate.
Mamdani spokesperson Dora Pekec said the candidate, who now represents the 36th
"American travelers shouldn’t be held hostage by politics in Washington. It’s time to privatize air traffic control,” says Rachel Greszler in the Daily Signal.
“The shutdown-induced mess at U.S. airports,” she writes, “demonstrates yet another consequence of leaving our skies in the hands of a politically driven, budget-dependent, and inefficient government bureaucracy.
“It doesn’t have to be this way.”
She goes on to note that “most other industrialized countries have lower-cost, more efficient air traffic control systems that are insulated from government spending battles.
The largest federal employee union wants to end the government shutdown with “no half measures, and no gamesmanship,” and is demanding that everyone get full back pay. Those who have worked without being paid should be compensated. But those who didn’t should get nothing.
“It’s time to pass a clean continuing resolution and end this shutdown today,” the American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 820,000 federal workers, tweeted Monday, and “put every single federal worker back on the job with full back pay — today.”
Why should government employees be paid for work they didn’t do?
Last November, voters handed control of Congress to Republicans who pledged to cut taxes and spending. In response, Democrats decided to hold the country hostage because they want to borrow and spend $1.5 trillion on illegal immigrants and well-to-do Obamacare enrollees.
That is the simplest and most honest way to describe what has been going on since Oct. 1. But you’d hardly know it, given the way the shutdown is talked about.
The Senate has had a chance 13 times to vote on a “continuing resolution” that would keep the government operating while lawmakers debate future spending bills, including the Democrats’ wish list.
Let’s say you paid top dollar to go to a fancy, five-star restaurant, and the waiter served you warmed-over McDonald’s. Would you ever go back?
Maybe, if you didn’t know any better.
I started thinking about that after I recently changed my residency from Virginia to California (for reasons I won’t go into) and noticed that my state income taxes had gone up by more than 33%.
Over the course of the year, I will pay California $2,115 more than I’d been paying in Virginia, which is hardly a low-tax state (Virginia has the 14th highest income tax burden in

There’s been a lot of talk in recent weeks about shrinking the federal government workforce. Is this something Americans want? Not necessarily. The latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows that most Americans think the federal workforce should either be larger or the same size.
This month’s national online I&I/TIPP Poll, taken from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2, asked 1,459 participants: “Overall, do you think the federal workforce today is: 1) too large and should be reduced; 2) too small and should be expanded; 3) about the right size; and 4) Not sure.”
The responses were nearly evenly split
When socialist Zohran Mamdani won the New York City mayoral primary, we said that the concern expressed by some Democrats was phony, because they didn’t want to admit just how far left their party had drifted.
Now, they’ve given up that pretense entirely.
On Friday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries endorsed socialist Mamdani, saying the 33-year-old trust fund baby “has relentlessly focused on addressing the affordability crisis and explicitly committed to being a mayor for all New Yorkers.”
He’s the most senior-ranking Democrat to do so, but he joins a list that already includes

Of all the things that Democrats have tried to tar President Donald Trump with, none is as petty, stupid and inconsequential as the current flap over remodeling the East Wing of the White House. But since Dems shut down the government, they have nothing else to do these days – apart from inciting their far-left followers to commit violence.
These are dangerous times in the world, both abroad and here in the U.S.
And yet, here’s California’s too-slick Gov. Gavin Newsom’s comment: “He’s literally destroying the White House.“
No, he’s “literally” not “destroying” the White House. He’s remodeling it.
The Longer The Shutdown Lasts, The Better

We have no idea how the government shutdown, now in its fourth week and the second longest in history, will end, or how. But what is increasingly clear is how badly Democrats miscalculated on this one.
Consider three bits of news from this week:
First, the shutdown isn’t hurting Republicans.
In fact, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that President Donald Trump’s approval rating has ticked up by two points to 42% since the shutdown started. Other polls find it unchanged. The Real Clear Politics average shows Trump’s disapproval at 52%, which is down a point from the day before the shutdown started.

During Wednesday’s jubilations for Democratic victories across the board the night prior, MSNBC’s Katy Tur claimed New York City’s wealthiest won’t leave because of the immense amount of culture on offer. Her guests also supported the idea that electing Zohran Mamdani (D) won’t scare off the one percent and subsequently bankrupt the city.
When asked if it was insane for a socialist to be placed in charge of the “capitalist capital of the world,” former Biden adviser Jared Bernstein defended the mayor-elect:
Look, there is a long and mistaken view that what's good for Main Street, or should I say what's good for Elmhurst or Brooklyn Heights, is bad for Wall Street.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Thursday she would not seek another term in Congress in 2026.
The first and only female speaker of the House, Pelosi, 85, has been a fixture within the halls of Capitol Hill since 1987. She is the second-highest elected female official in US history, behind former Vice President Kamala Harris.
Greetings, Dear Reader,
As usual, they’re all wrong and I’m right.
How can we interpret the two conflagrations in our midst?
Let’s get into it.
THE PIED PIPER OF BUSHWICK
There are a couple of fires right now for conservatives. To our front, the Heritage Foundation is in the midst of a generational struggle session over allegiance to Israel.
While I think the reckoning is worthwhile and ultimately inevitable – especially considering future American conservatives are not apt to carry Jerusalem’s burden – the one to our rear is much more immediate and consequential.
The story we’re hearing from the left (and the right) about Mamdani’s win in New York City is pure mythology.
I did not vote for Zohran Mamdani.
Call me crazy — but a socialist who, until five minutes ago, was gleefully tweeting to defund the police and who refuses to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” is not my ideal steward for this glittering center of progress.
On social media, there’s a relentless schadenfreude chorus of “You deserve what you vote for” from out-of-towners who don’t seem to understand that massive swathes of New Yorkers did not, in fact, vote for Mamdani.
But that doesn’t mean I’m going anywhere.
What’s happening in New York right now has a lot of Americans on edge, and rightfully so. A massive group of Muslims gathered and publicly claimed the city for Islam. People who watched it unfold aren’t being “bigots” for feeling uneasy. They’re watching their country’s biggest city slip further from the culture that built it, just days after electing a Marxist mayor. As Scott Jennings says, good luck, New York… A mayor who believes criminals are the “real victims” and police are the oppressors. This issue is about assimilation, or the lack of it. New York City doesn’t belong to any Muslims, and stunts like this don’t create
A federal jury has convicted a New York fiber laser expert of stealing military defense secrets to start a business in China.
Ji Wang, 63, faces up to 15 years in prison for economic espionage after pilfering classified research on laser weapons technology.
Wang’s conviction marks another victory in federal efforts to combat intellectual property theft linked to China’s state-sponsored recruitment programs.
Wang stole hundreds of files containing trade secrets from a $11.4 million military project on or around July 1, 2016. The stolen data included manufacturing technology for specialty optical fibers used in high-powered laser weapons. Just ten days before the theft, Wang had applied for China’s Thousand Talents Plan Award.
Ford is considering scrapping the electric version of its F-150 pickup — once billed as the future of American trucks — after racking up billions in losses and watching demand collapse.
Executives are in active talks about axing the money-losing F-150 Lightning altogether, sources told the Wall Street Journal, in what could become the first major casualty of America’s faltering electric vehicle revolution.
The Lightning, launched with fanfare in 2021 and hailed by CEO Jim Farley as a ‘smartphone that can tow,’ was supposed to mark a new era for Ford. President Joe Biden even took one for a spin, calling it ‘quick as hell.’
But the hype faded fast.
How Mamdani Won New York

Zohran Mamadani’s stunning victory as the newly elected mayor of New York was salt poured in the open wound of an even more titanic blue wave that swept aside any hopes that the nation had turned back to traditional sanity. He’s an old-school communist who made no effort to cloak his Marxist bona fides behind the charade of democratic socialism, and secured a victory that we could see coming from a mile away.
It's a turning point for the nation as a disciple of the deadliest ideology the modern world has ever known is empowered to beset this terror upon Americans [snip].
Which begs the question, how did he do it?
There's an iron law of climate change: if something brings human beings joy, it must be destroying the planet.
Could it be that happiness is the real enemy of climate cultists? Are they really so unhappy that they want everybody so unhappy that they will queue up for the suicide pods that liberals are so excited to roll out? (Snip) Now you have to give the Associated Press SOME credit for doing a deep dive into the subject of cats and dogs. After much research, they discovered that they have to eat, and as we know, the production of food is a bad thing. That's why European governments
KAMPALA - When Zohran Mamdani inveighed against inequality and corruption during his underdog bid for New York City mayor, Joseph Beyanga at Uganda's Daily Monitor could hear echoes of conversations almost 20 years earlier with the then-intern on the newspaper's sports desk. "Mamdani would sit with me in the production room. He would always ask me, so who is affected by this one? Who pays the price?" Beyanga, the Daily Monitor's media manager, told Reuters.

Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York City mayoral race this week is a clear moment. Voters chose a 34-year-old Democrat Socialist promising frozen rents, higher taxes on the wealthy, more public spending, etc. You know, all the things communists promise before their overblown Marxism takes control. That is now the experiment New York City residents asked for.
As GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson (LA-04) explained:
Zohran Mamdani’s victory marks the BIGGEST WIN FOR destructive, dangerous, big government SOCIALISM in U.S. history — and a loss for freedom loving American people.
He’s an unapologetic Marxist — fully EMBRACED by the Democrat establishment.
Hakeem Jeffries ENDORSED him. Barack Obama personally called to CONGRATULATE him.
Federal prosecutors have opened a corruption investigation into Washington DC’s Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser.
According to The New York Times, the investigation has been underway for several months. The investigation is focused on Bowser’s $61,000 trip to Dubai for a UN Climate Change conference in 2023. Bowser’s trip was reportedly paid for by Qatar. Earlier this year 7News filed a FOIA request to uncover who paid for Bowser’s trip to Dubai and said there is no record of a donation agreement between DC and Qatar.
