The redistricting battle has been a real window into how far Democrats are willing to go to get - or keep - power. The meltdowns have been epic.
Perhaps one of the funniest responses was from Kamala Harris. She keeps trying to remain relevant, likely to stoke her hopes for a 2028 presidential run. But having the queen of the empty word salads trying to rally Democrats by claiming there are "no bad ideas" is quite something. She then went viral for pushing a bunch of... bad ideas. (X) Harris then hit the wish list of Democrats' push to grab power, from attacking the Electoral College and packing the

We must end this madness. The fact that Americans are now expected to accept taxpayer-funded “transing” of people—especially vulnerable children—as legitimate public policy is beyond absurd. How did we ever arrive at a point where the government not only tolerates but also financially supports puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible surgeries?
Regardless of where Americans stand on broader cultural debates, taxpayers should never be forced to bankroll permanent medical interventions that carry enormous physical, emotional, and financial consequences. It is irrational, irresponsible, and deeply dangerous. Let’s be honest about what makes this so insane. We do not use public dollars to help people smoke more cigarettes. We do not subsidize alcoholism.

Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof has laundered Hamas propaganda and damaged the Jewish state with his absurd rape dog column. Kristof is sticking with his story, as is the Times. May they both rot in Gehenna.
A wealth of intelligent commentary has followed up on Kristof’s column. Eli Lake’s Free Press column is a good one and there are several others.
We have reached the stage where mockery makes a contribution of its own. I love the gibe in the post below. The detail of Mrs. Rape Dog just below the instrument panel on the right is brilliant. Lieutenant Rape Dog is fighting for her! (X) Kristof is something

Minnesota Democrats are advancing legislation that would recognize an “inherent right” for uncultivated wild rice to “exist and thrive,” even as state law continues to uphold expansive abortion “rights.” Senate File 3749 (SF3749), introduced by Senator Mary Kunesh (D-New Brighton) on February 19, 2026, would amend Minnesota’s statute describing the state’s official grain and add language recognizing such a right.
The proposal comes three years after Governor Tim Walz signed the Protect Reproductive Options (PRO) Act into law on January 31, 2023. The law codifies abortion as a “fundamental right” in Minnesota statute, and allows the procedure at any stage when deemed necessary for the mother’s health.
Wild rice has been Minnesota’s

We are so lucky that Donald Trump and JD Vance defeated Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
In addition to all the reasons that Kamala Harris was awful, Minnesota Gov. Walz made it all worse with what a joke he was as a candidate. If you become known for the ridiculous things you say rather than for doing anything consequentially good, that could be a problem.
Walz did become known for something consequential, something consequentially bad. He dropped out of running again for governor after the Minnesota fraud scandal exploded. He helped demonize Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and incited radicals in his state against law enforcement.

Even though this will be his last year as governor due to term limits, Ron DeSantis (R) remains a target of Florida's Democrats due in large part to his effectiveness, the fact that he's unapologetically conservative, and his standing firm on the issues that are important to him and a majority of Floridians.
So it was no surprise that amid the marathon session that produced a new congressional map approved by lawmakers on the day of the Louisiana v. Callais SCOTUS ruling, and which DeSantis promptly signed into law, some Democrat state lawmakers staged temper tantrums to protest the map's supposed lack of fairness in representation.

It was a busy week in the news, although, to be honest, a relatively quiet one in meme-world. Trump went to China, the New York Times sank to what could be a new low even for that despicable rag, the Spencer Pratt campaign took Los Angeles by storm, a Hollywood director unveiled a new adaptation of The Odyssey in which Helen is black and Achilles is a woman, the Democrats’ redistricting scheme blew up, for the most part, in their face. But meme-makers responded most to another story, the appearance of the dreaded hantavirus. Here, as someone once said, we go again. And here we go

Not that anyone was watching it, but Whoopi Goldberg had a meltdown on The View this week, and Greg Gutfeld made sure she didn't get away with it.
Whoopi went on this rambling tangent about how nobody is running the country. She torched Kash Patel, Pete Hegseth, and basically every official in the Trump administration. "I have no faith in the people who are running anything," she said. "I don't believe in anybody who is running this country right now."
Of course, none of them were asking for Whoopi’s endorsement or vote of confidence. Not that that mattered. But, of course, she wasn’t done. She went full theater-of-the-absurd

It was another day on The Five, which means another round of Jessica Tarlov losing her mind over something to do with Donald Trump and Greg Gutfeld methodically dismantling every argument she threw at the wall.
On Friday, it started with Tarlov going after Trump's money. She brought up his horrible crime of making money, reportedly $3 billion last year. Gutfeld didn't let her get far.
"He made less money this year than he did when he was out of office," he pointed out.
That did not go over well. Tarlov, voice rising, fired back: "He's the president. You're supposed to have made $400,000."
Gutfeld was ready, "I know this is going to blow

The redistricting battle being fought across the nation has caused a sea change, and now, it's having a notable effect in Tennessee.
We saw Democratic lawmakers melting down a week ago over the changes, with state Rep. Justin Pearson (D-Memphis) getting into a disturbing exchange with a state trooper. The redistricting redrew a black majority district, the 9th district, which is currently represented by Democrat Rep. Steve Cohen (TN-09). Cohen is not black. He's held the seat for 19 years, since 2007. He's had black Republicans run against him. (X) Now it looks like Cohen is giving up the ghost. He announced that he wouldn't be running again.

Desperate to deflect attention from Minnesota’s fraud scandals, the state’s Democrats have seized on gun control as a political lifeline, much as they did with abortion in 2022. Despite having passed an anti-gun package when they had complete control over state government in 2023, the Democrats have come up with a new bill that, among other things, would ban sales of “assault weapons,” i.e., semiautomatic rifles (and some pistols) with a modern, modular design typified by a black plastic stock rather than a brown wooden stock. Existing owners of “assault weapons,” like me, would have to register their firearms with the state. Governor Walz mused about calling a special session

Senate Democrats spent Wednesday on the Senate floor demanding votes they knew they would lose, on rules that in some cases courts had already thrown out, in defense of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), an agency that by the government's own math has cost Americans hundreds of billions of dollars. Republicans obliged them and won every single one.
Democrats used a procedural tool called the Congressional Review Act to force more than a dozen resolutions targeting Trump's rollback of the CFPB, covering everything from overdraft fees and medical debt to military lending protections. The real goal wasn't legislation —
