Tossing the Constitution: The Democrats'
Latest 'Save Democracy' Plan
Posted By: Dreadnought, 5/14/2026 7:57:10 PM
Democrats are very distressed that the Constitution exists. Marc Elias, the Democrats' democracy-destroying lawyer who helped cook up the Steele Dossier and who spends all his time trying to rig elections, suggested dissolving the Virginia state government because the Virginia Supreme Court ruled that the Virginia Constitution applies even to Democrats. James Carville muses about upending the US Constitutional order to save democracy, and now former Vice President Kamala Harris wants everybody to brainstorm how to change everything about how the American Constitutional system works, including elections, Supreme Court independence, representation, and, for all I know, putting mRNA in the drinking water.

Admissions staff at Yale University’s medical school “used racial proxies” and “intentionally selected applicants based on their race” to the benefit of black and Hispanic students, despite a Supreme Court ruling that affirmative action is illegal, according to a new report from the Department of Justice.
“Yale uses its holistic-review procedure to uncover and then use applicants’ race through direct and indirect means,” says a letter from the DOJ, which conducted a year-long investigation into the school. “It then conducts interviews that enable the committee to know applicants’ race and ethnicity. Race preferences elevate Black and Hispanic applicants in the admissions process.”

CIA Director John Ratcliffe met with Cuban officials in Havana on Thursday, according to a CIA official and a statement from the Cuban government. Ratcliffe met with Raulito Rodriguez Castro, a government official and the grandson of former president Raúl Castro, Cuba’s minister of interior, and the the head of the Cuban intelligence service, according to the CIA official.
The CIA official said that Ratcliffe was there “to personally deliver President Trump’s message that the United States is prepared to seriously engage on economic and security issues, but only if Cuba makes fundamental changes.”
Iran’s ability to threaten its neighbors and US interests has been dramatically reduced by US bombings, and Tehran’s defense industry has been set back by 90%, a senior US admiral said on Thursday.
However, US Central Command head Admiral Brad Cooper conceded during testimony before the US Senate Armed Services Committee that Iran still maintains a “very moderate if not small capability to continue strikes” in the region and that Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard is still a major force in running the country.
In response to questions from Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin, Cooper also said the US has the military power to permanently reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Thursday that a man maimed in a tractor-trailer crash could sue the broker who arranged the load, a major win for highway safety advocates who have sounded alarms about unsafe trucking companies and the high number of deaths and injuries in truck crashes.
A CBS News investigation last month revealed the widespread scope — and deadly consequences — of the explosion in demand for overland shipping, in part because more people shop online, and the strain that demand has placed on America's trucking fleet.
The Chinese are certainly pulling out all the stops and rolling out the red carpet and all the bells and whistles for President Donald Trump. China has been put in a box with Operation Epic Fury, when so much of Iran's oil would normally go to China. Then, too, they don't want to get walloped with big tariffs. So they know they have to work hard.
On Thursday, Trump had a more than two-hour meeting with Xi, and it sounds like he got some big wins out of the exchange. President Trump had a good meeting with President Xi of China. The two sides discussed ways

Fairfax Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano struggled to defend his office’s lax treatment of illegal immigrants during a heated Thursday hearing on Capitol Hill, where he was joined by the mother of a woman who was recently murdered by an illegal alien.
The House Judiciary Committee asked Descano to testify in light of recent violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants in Fairfax County, including the brutal murder of Stephanie Minter earlier this year at a Fairfax bus stop.

MOBILE, Ala. - The Gulf Coast Regional Maritime Response and Render-Safe Team retrieved and detonated an improvised explosive device found underwater at the Converse Reservoir dam, the Mobile Area Water and Sewer System announced Tuesday.
The multi-agency effort included the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office, FBI Bomb Squad, Mobile Police Department Explosive Ordinance Detail, ALEA Bomb Squad and the Daphne Search and Rescue Team.
Divers surveying the dam for routine repair and maintenance located the grenade-type IED. MAWSS alerted the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office, which coordinated the multi-agency response for analysis, retrieval and safe demolition.
“Our top priority is keeping your drinking water safe,” said Bud McCrory, MAWSS director. “This is an unprecedented threat,

The Israeli government is suing the New York Times over columnist Nicholas Kristof’s thinly-sourced report accusing Israeli soldiers and prison guards of using rape and other forms of sexual violence against Palestinian prisoners as part of an “organized state policy.”
Kristof’s column, which goes so far as to accuse Israeli soldiers of using trained dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners, cites a number of obviously conflicted organizations and individuals whose accounts are not backed by documentation or supporting eyewitness accounts.

RIYADH/DUBAI - Saudi Arabia launched numerous, unpublicized strikes on Iran in retaliation for attacks carried out in the kingdom during the Middle East war, two Western officials briefed on the matter and two Iranian officials said.
The Saudi attacks, not previously reported, mark the first time that the kingdom is known to have directly carried out military action on Iranian soil and show it is becoming much bolder in defending itself against its main regional rival. The attacks, launched by the Saudi Air Force, were assessed to have been carried out in late March, the two Western officials said. One said only that they were
Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton just reminded Democrats that a legislative chamber isn't a daycare center with microphones. Sexton removed all 24 House Democrats from their committee assignments after disruptions during a special session on new congressional maps.
WPLN News cleanly broke it down.
Sexton has taken issue with the way Democratic lawmakers protested — linking arms and walking out of the chamber as the vote was called. In a letter, Sexton alleged that Democrats “created disorder” by using banned props, walking out and “encouraging disruptions … in coordination with paid protestors and attendees in the gallery.”
The UAE is prepared to fight for its life against Iran, and has militarily joined the U.S. and Israel in taking down the region’s largest supporter of terrorism. Although it acted secretly, the UAE reportedly attacked a refinery on Lavan Island in the Persian Gulf; the attack took the facility offline for months.
Iran has attacked the UAE aggressively, sending 2,800 missiles and drones into the country. The UAE responded to these attacks, and the U.S. and Israel quietly acknowledged and welcome their support.
Out of all the Gulf countries, the UAE is the only one that has responded to Iran’s attacks. It also signaled

Black Caucus could be wiped out by redistricting wars 30 replies
WASHINGTON — The Congressional Black Caucus, a power center in the Democratic Party for decades, saw its membership rise this Congress to an all-time high of 58 House members. Now, thanks to a Supreme Court redistricting ruling that’s expected to dramatically diminish Black representation on Capitol Hill, the CBC is fighting a five-alarm fire that could devastate its membership. CBC Chair Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., said as many as 19 of the caucus’ members could be affected by the redistricting wars in a worst-case scenario, though she noted it’s still fluid given that states are still drawing new maps in the
Not long ago, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul told New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to handle his own mess. Now she's writing him a $4 billion check to bail him out.
Mamdani had barely settled into Gracie Mansion before he discovered what socialists always find out: Eventually, you run out of other people's money. His grand campaign promises — you know: free this, universal that — ran headlong into the reality that New York City couldn’t afford all the things Mamdani had campaigned on.
So, Mamdani went looking to Albany for a bailout.
And, originally, Hochul said no.
"The mayor and City Council need to work together, identify savings,
Despite being newly empowered by the Callais v. Louisiana Supreme Court ruling, South Carolina’s Republican-controlled Senate rejected moving ahead with a redistricting plan that would have likely unseated the state’s sole Democrat in Congress, Rep. Jim Clyburn.
On Tuesday, the state Senate voted by a 29-17 margin to allow for the General Assembly to work on redistricting ahead of the 2026 elections. This was short of the necessary two-thirds threshold, with five Republican senators defecting.

to Withhold Their Pay During Future Government Shutdowns 19 replies
The US Senate on Thursday unanimously approved a resolution to withhold their pay during a government shutdown.
The resolution, adopted by voice vote, was authored by Republican Senator John Kennedy (LA).
“My resolution to stop senators’ pay during government shutdowns cleared a key procedural vote today, moving it one step closer to final passage,” Kennedy said on Wednesday afternoon ahead of the Thursday vote.
“Fair-minded Americans know senators should feel the pain of a shutdown with the American people,” Kennedy said.
Kennedy’s resolution suspends Senators’ pay during partial or full government shutdowns.
“It’s called shared sacrifice,” Kennedy said.
A Democratic Fantasy World

A new poll suggests that a sizable number of Democrats -- more than 40% in some cases -- believe the attempts on President Donald Trump's life were fake.
The poll, which surveyed 1,000 Americans over the age of 18, was conducted by NewsGuard and YouGov. It asked people to respond to three statements:
"The assassination attempt against Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner in April 2026 was staged."
"The assassination attempt against Donald Trump at a Trump presidential campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024 was staged."
"The assassination attempt against Donald Trump at Trump International Golf Club in September 2024 was staged."
Another member of Congress has been missing a slew of votes without much explanation.
Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL), 83, has not voted in the House of Representatives since April 17, congressional reporter Jamie Dupree of the Regular Order newsletter noted on Wednesday night. Posting on Bluesky, he pointed out that Wilson had missed all 10 House votes on Wednesday and has now missed 43 consecutive votes.
Included in Dupree’s post were images posted on Wilson’s X account on Tuesday, but he noted something was amiss.
“Wilson’s X account this week sent out photos of a Service Academy day – but pictures from the same event were posted last October,” Dupree wrote. (X) “I
Former Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has unveiled a controversial new government initiative aimed at addressing issues in the city. The proposal would provide free dental care to methamphetamine users, funded by taxpayers.
During a recent event, Bass shared her latest thoughts on how to tackle the city’s challenges, raising eyebrows as she discussed her approach.
“How many people have you met who are homeless and don’t have any teeth?” she questioned. “Their teeth are gone because of meth. It’s hard to succeed without teeth. So, we need to offer comprehensive healthcare for these individuals.”

Several Frontier Airlines passengers suffered minor injuries over the weekend when their plane, departing from the Denver airport, struck a person trespassing on the runway. That person was killed after being hit by the plane's engine, which caused an explosion and fire that aborted the takeoff.
That man has now been identified, which is raising questions about whether this was a sinister act, given his extensive criminal history.
Authorities said Michael Mott, 41, was the man hit by the plane on May 9. Mott has been arrested 20 times previously, including for attempted murder. He was most recently arrested about a month before he trespassed at the Denver airport.

TRUTH SOCIAL – “CNBC incorrectly reported that the Great Jensen Huang, of Nvidia, was not invited to the incredible gathering of the World’s Greatest Businessmen/women proudly going to China.

James Erdman III is testifying today before the US Senate Homeland Security Committee, and he is blowing the whistle on the CIA's willingness to bow to Dr. Anthony Fauci's insistence that COVID did not originate in lab leak, likely tied to gain-of-function research.
No surprise there, I have to say. At the time, the CIA agreed to withhold its conclusion that the most likely explanation for COVID's spread was a lab leak, although it has subsequently stated that the lab leak was likely. BOMBSHELL: Here is the entire opening statement from CIA whistleblower James Erdman lll. He testifies that Dr. Fauci's role in the COVID cover-up was INTENTIONAL.
Trying to Get Through to My Liberal Friends

I have a couple of friends who are liberals -- not those liberals who have reached what I call “the incurable terminal stage.” Nor are they the psychotics who, the moment they are exposed to facts or viewpoints different from theirs become wild-eyed and hysterical. Even so, on certain topics their ability to reason seems to break down.
A couple of months back, the issue of illegal aliens came up. They voiced the usual talking points on the topic: the aliens are just trying to build a better life, they pay taxes, only a few commit crimes, etc. They did not state they are being kidnapped and put in concentration camps.
