- November 17, 2025, 07:26:00 AMDemocrats shift their arguments as needed, but always in service of higher taxes, higher spending, and a bigger federal footprint. When the question earlier this year was whether to keep current tax policy and avoid a massive tax hike, Democrats fought against keeping current policy.
Earlier this year, Congress faced a hard deadline. Lawmakers had to choose between extending the 2017 American Job Creation Act tax rates or letting them snap back to pre-2017 levels — a $4 trillion tax increase across income brackets. Republicans pushed to retain the lower rates. Democrats pushed for the tax hike.
The inconsistency could not be clearer.
When expiring tax law meant taxes would rise, Democrats described preventing that increase as a tax cut — even though extending the law simply kept existing policy in place. The fact that the policy had been the law for eight years meant nothing.
But when expiring pandemic-era subsidies would return Obamacare to its original structure, Democrats suddenly insist that current policy must prevail. They now treat temporary emergency expansions — linked explicitly to COVID, extended once already, disproportionately benefiting upper-income households — as untouchable programs that must become permanent.
On taxes, "current policy" doesn't count. On spending, "current policy" functions like holy writ.

- November 15, 2025, 08:39:54 PMA Democratic lawmaker admitted to texting with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing, seeking his advice on how to question President Donald Trump's so-called "fixer," Michael Cohen.
Documents released Wednesday by the House Oversight Committee revealed that a member of Congress, whose name was redacted, had been exchanging text messages with Epstein during a February 2019 hearing where lawmakers heard testimony from Cohen.
Epstein's messages to the lawmaker appeared to indicate that he was watching the hearing live. Although the name of the congressperson was redacted from the committee's documents, the timing of the messages indicated that the convicted sex predator was texting Democratic Delegate Stacey Plaskett of the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Washington Post reported.

- November 13, 2025, 07:35:07 AMAnose-ringed Indiana University lecturer is accusing the university of racism for investigating her in-class smear of MAGA as racist.
During a press conference held on Friday by the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors, IU School of Social Work lecturer Jessica Adams claimed that she was barred last month from teaching a "Diversity, Human Rights, and Social Justice" master's class and from contacting her students after a student filed a complaint over her use of a graphic that suggested "Make America Great Again" is a form of "covert white supremacy."
According to the graphic Adams provided to the Indianapolis Star, "Make America Great Again" is a form of "socially acceptable" and "covert" white supremacy.
The following are also listed as forms of "covert white supremacy" on Adams' pyramid:
"Bootstrap Theory," the idea that individuals can achieve success through their own efforts;
anti-immigration policies;
paternalism;
"Euro-centric Curriculum";
"English-only Initiatives";
police killing non-whites;
"Denial of White Privilege";
"Denial of Racism";
celebrating Columbus Day;
"Fearing People of Color";
"Expecting POC to Teach White People";
colorblindness; and
the assertion that "we're just one human family."
The placement of the different forms of "white supremacy" in the critical race theory pyramid is intended to signal their severity. "Make America Great Again" is located just below the line that separates "covert white supremacy" from "overt white supremacy" — a category that includes neo-Nazis, cross burnings, lynchings, and the KKK.

- November 08, 2025, 12:05:25 PMQuote from: Brent on November 08, 2025, 12:03:19 PMDemocratic Sen. Peter Welch of Vermont made a shocking admission on the Senate floor while trying to defend the Democrat shutdown.
Congress is now well into a record-long government shutdown, and it all started when Democrats demanded an extension on Obamacare subsidies that are set to expire at the end of the year. Even though this Obamacare extension is at the core of Democrats' professed opposition to reopening the government, even Welch acknowledged the failures of the very system they want to uphold.
"I owe you an answer on why it is I'm standing here today asking to extend something that was temporary," Welch said. "Here's the reason."
"We did fail to bring down the cost of health care."

- October 31, 2025, 07:26:29 AMThe liberal media wasted a great deal of airtime and ink over the past decade fearmongering about the Russian collusion narrative but clammed up earlier this year when the Trump administration produced receipts demonstrating that the basis of multiple investigations and numerous arrests was nothing more than a hoax perpetrated on the American people by the Obama administration.
In the wake of revelations this week about Operation Arctic Frost — chiefly about the Biden FBI's surveillance of Republican lawmakers and indiscriminate targeting of conservatives — the liberal media has once again proven strategically incurious, evidencing the unidirectional nature of their outrage.
The New York Times, for instance, has concern-mongered in recent weeks about personnel changes at the Justice Department and the Trump administration's alleged use of "the federal government's vast intelligence gathering and law enforcement authority to cast the specter of criminality on Mr. Trump's enemies."
However, with the apparent exception of an Oct. 7 article focusing on Republican denunciations of special counsel Jack Smith's covert collection of lawmakers' phone records and an Oct. 21 article boosting denials issued on Smith's behalf by his lawyers, the Times has avoided troubling itself with questions about Arctic Frost or the latest documents highlighting the Biden FBI's targeting of conservatives.
