Bill Maher: Democrats Will “Lose Every Election” if They Keep Doing This

/

Bill Maher is cautioning Democrats that forcing government control over parental rights in transgender matters will result in electoral disaster for the party.

Speaking on the Pod Save America podcast, Maher told former Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett that Democrats risk losing every election if they continue pushing policies that undermine parental authority.

“You want to lose every election? Just keep coming down on the side of parents coming in second in a ‘Who gets to decide what goes on with my kid’ contest,” Maher said.

Maher’s remarks came in response to Lovett’s argument that parents should only have a say in their child’s transgender-related decisions if they fully support their child’s identity.

Lovett implied that parents who do not affirm their child’s transgender identity are comparable to abusive parents who endanger their children.

“I don’t want Donald Trump deciding [child trans-related issues], I want parents and doctors—” Lovett began before Maher cut in.

“Well, you just said parents can get shut out,” Maher responded.

Lovett attempted to clarify his stance, saying, “I don’t think parents should get shut out. There are rare exceptions to that… but we also recognize that some parents do such a bad f**king job, that the kids are in danger.”

He continued, “That happens outside of trans issues, that happens all the time. Some parents are f**king terrible.”

Lovett went on to claim that the reality of “terrible parents” is often ignored in discussions about transgender policies. He insisted, “Do I think that schools should, as a baseline, be keeping a secret from parents? Of-f**king-course not. No one thinks that.”

Maher pushed back, stating, “Apparently that’s not true. People do think that.”

During the discussion, Lovett compared regrettable transgender surgeries to botched heart surgeries, suggesting that mistakes in the medical field do not justify banning a particular treatment.

“There are also really important surgeries that people get for their heart, and they go wrong, and somebody dies. And nobody says, ‘We must stop the cardiologists.’ No one says, ‘We must stop the surgeons,’” Lovett said.

A skeptical Maher responded, “Wow. That’s your analogy?”

Lovett continued, “We don’t get rid of the specific surgery. We don’t throw out a whole field of medicine. We say, ‘Let’s make sure we’re doing it in a way that’s healthy.’”

He defended so-called gender-affirming care, stating, “The science, the research, makes clear that, yes, there are exceptions. Yes, there are people practicing it in ways that maybe go too far, but for the most part, study after study shows that gender-affirming care saves a lot of lives.”

He also dismissed concerns over transgender procedures as “edge cases.”

Maher then referenced a major story published by The New York Times, which revealed that a ten-year study on transgender medical interventions was deliberately withheld because the findings did not support the preferred narrative.

“So in other words, it came out not the way you wanted the study to come out — not what you said, that, ‘Oh, all the studies show’ — no,” Maher said.

He acknowledged that for some individuals, transgender medical treatments may be appropriate, but questioned the risks involved in performing irreversible procedures on minors.

“Some people, yes, [trans surgeries] are the right thing,” Maher said.

“But to take that risk at that age, before you know sh*t about anything — and again, this was a very long study, very thorough. And they wouldn’t release it, because it came out with the wrong conclusion.”

Maher’s remarks highlight an ongoing political battle over parental rights and government involvement in transgender policies.

As Democratic leaders continue pushing school and state-driven policies that limit parental oversight in these decisions, Maher’s warning suggests the party risks alienating voters who see these policies as overreach.

With parental rights becoming a key issue ahead of the 2024 elections, Maher’s comments could reflect a broader concern among some Democrats that pushing too far could cost them at the ballot box.

Ex-DNC Insider: Furious Donors Abandoning Party as Dems Implode

/

A former high-profile fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is sounding the alarm on the state of the Democratic Party, claiming it is in “shambles” following the presidential election.

Lindy Li, who has raised tens of millions of dollars for Democratic campaigns, announced her departure from the party in December after facing backlash for criticizing then-Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.

Speaking with Fox News Digital, Li described growing dissatisfaction among major Democratic donors, stating, “Democratic donors absolutely, without a single exception, they are so angry and upset with the state of the party. They think the party is in complete shambles.”

Li, who had been a vocal supporter of Democratic candidates for years, said that since President Donald Trump assumed office, she has seen a party that is “completely rudderless.”

“I don’t know how they’re going to get out of this wilderness,” she said, attributing much of the party’s struggles to an ideological shift.

Li argued that the Democratic Party has been overtaken by progressive extremism, saying, “It’s their religion, it’s their god. Woke is their god. This trans, woke insanity—they are enthralled by it.”

She pointed to the growing corporate rejection of leftist social policies, stating, “Companies are running as fast as they can from this toxic agenda, yet the Democratic Party is doubling down time and time again on this. Honestly, it’s gender hysteria. It’s almost like a social contagion.”

Li also criticized the involvement of celebrities like Beyoncé and Cardi B in the Harris campaign, following reports that they were paid to appear and speak at campaign events.

While both artists denied receiving payments, Li disputed their claims. “All their production companies were getting compensated,” she told Fox News Digital.

Beyoncé’s appearance at a Harris campaign event in October stirred controversy after she did not perform as some attendees had expected.

Critics accused the campaign of using the artist’s presence to boost attendance and publicity.

Li supported this claim, stating, “I honestly believe that the campaign used that to generate attention and publicity for their event.”

Looking ahead, Li expressed doubt about the Democratic Party’s ability to recover from its election defeat.

“There is no one on the horizon” to lead the party into the next election cycle, she said.

Since leaving the DNC, Li has found new support among Republicans, saying the “humanity and kindness” she has received from conservatives has been “unbelievable.”

She also expressed optimism about retaining her donor network, as she now plans to raise money for Republican candidates.

Nevada Has More Registered Republicans Than Democrats For The First Time In 18 Years

/

The swing state of Nevada has flipped Red in terms of voter registration numbers, according to new data. Alas, registered Republicans now outnumber Democrats by 187 in the state which Donald Trump won by 3.11 percentage points in November 2024.

A total of 8,186 registered Democrats ditched their party affiliation in January 2025. While the GOP also saw losses, they were less than half of that of their Democratic counterparts (-3,832).

The number of Republicans (618,538) in the state is not far from the Election Day 2020 figure of 602,302. It also marks an increase of 7,000 since the most recent presidential election.

On the other hand, the Democrats – once 689,025-strong in Nevada – are now down to 618,352. Despite January’s large-scale losses, the Democrats have only lost 91 registered voters since Kamala Harris’ electoral defeat last November.

As a result, Republicans now lead Democrats in voter registration numbers for the first time in 18 years.

It’s not clear how many voters have flipped from blue to red, but the large increases for other parties suggest many are seeking third-party or independent alternatives. Non-GOP/Democrat registered voters make up 854,313 of the 2.1 million with active party registration – an increase of 280,000 from November 2020.

Conservatives on social media celebrated the news.

Others argued that the flip from blue to red highlighted a surge in momentum for the GOP.

“Questionably Qualified” Obama Center Subcontractor Files a $40 Million Lawsuit over Alleged Racial Discrimination

/

An Obama Presidential Center in Chicago contractor has filed a $40 million lawsuit alleging racial discrimination, the New York Post reports. 

Subcontractor Robert McGee accuses the engineering firm managing the construction of the Obama Center, Thornton Tomasetti, of racial discrimination. He says the discriminatory practice forced his firm II in One to do extra work, leaving him at risk of bankruptcy.

The Obama Center is being constructed at Jackson Park in Chicago, Illinois, at a cost of $830 million. It will host a museum, library, and community and conference facilities. The Obama Foundation, which offers scholarships via the University of Chicago’s Harris School of Public Policy, will oversee its development.

It features a 235-foot-high “museum tower,” a two-story event space, an athletic center, a recording studio, a winter garden, and a sledding hill.

However, it will not host any presidential records. Instead, it will display 30 million pages of digitized unclassified documents with no on-site archivists to assist researchers. Construction was expected to start in 2018 but was delayed until 2021, with its opening expected in 2026. Environmentalists also opposed the project and filed lawsuits, citing its environmental impacts, including cutting down trees and destroying bird habitat. However, the Obama Center claimed it would plant new trees, providing new bird habitats.

Meanwhile, McGee accuses Thornton Tomasetti of falsely accusing his firm of lacking sufficient qualifications and experience to perform the work, adding that “non-minority-owned contractors were sufficiently qualified.” The allegation suggests that DEI was involved in awarding the contract. 

Thornton Tomasetti denies the racial discrimination allegations, citing the subcontractor’s “underperformance and inexperience.”  The firm states that the “multitude of problems” caused by the alleged incompetence of the African-American-owned firm allegedly resulted in hundreds of hours spent “reviewing, analyzing, re-designing and responding to corrective work.” Additionally, Tomasetti says the subcontractor behind the $40 million lawsuit was “questionably qualified.”

However, the subcontractor says Thornton Tomasetti changed standards and imposed new rebar spacing and tolerance requirements differing from the American Concrete Institute standards. The changes resulted in “excessively rigorous and unnecessary inspection,” resulting in extensive paperwork that affected productivity, causing losses amounting to millions.

In addition, Thornton Tomasetti denies the racial discrimination allegations, stating that it and the architectural firm involved in the Obama Center’s construction “bent over backwards to assist what everyone knows was a questionably qualified subcontractor team in areas where more qualified subcontractor would not have required it.”

Obama’s policies were instrumental in establishing DEI hiring practices, including the FAA policy that turned down nearly a thousand air traffic controllers.

Poll Finds That The Democrats Are More Unpopular Than Ever Before

/

The Democratic Party recorded its lowest ever favorability rating in a new poll from Quinnipiac University.

The survey found that only 31% of respondents had a favorable opinion of the Democrats, compared to 57% who did not. Interestingly, 15% of Democrat respondents held an unfavorable view of their own party, as did 59% of independents. Women (39%) were more likely to have a favorable view of the Democratic Party than men (22%).

“This is the highest percentage of voters having an unfavorable opinion of the Democratic Party since the Quinnipiac University Poll began asking this question,” said the poll’s authors, who have produced the survey since 2008.

The GOP fared better once the usual split along party lines was factored out. Independents generally held a more favorable view (36%) of the Republicans than the Democrats, with less than half (48%) holding an unfavorable opinion. Men (48%) were more likely to hold a positive view than women (37%), but the GOP performed better than the Democrats in both demographics.

While Democrats are polling at its lowest, the GOP is viewed more favorably than it ever has been.

And they did it all to themselves.

Some on social media said they thought the party’s standing was only going to get worse.

Others were not surprised by the poll’s results.

White House Updates Official Website with Brutal Message Sending Liberals into Meltdown

/

The Spanish-language version of the White House website was taken offline this week, with users being met with a “Page Not Found” error and a button labeled “Go Home.”

The site had been operational until President Donald Trump was sworn in on January 20.

The Spanish-language White House website underscores its longstanding role in reaching Spanish-speaking Americans.

Trump’s administration previously removed the Spanish version during his first term, however; its recent takedown sparked meltdowns among leftists because of the redirect message when one tried to visit the site.

A redirect button reading “Go Home” was present, which some interpreted and some interpreted as a message for Spanish speakers to return to their countries of origin. The message has since been changed to “Go to Home Page” for clarification. Obviously the original “Go Home” message was referring to the home page the whole time, but it’s still a hilarious coincidence, and you know liberals still won’t be convinced it was just that.

TikTok user’s video brought up the issue, saying “For those of us who are immigrants, nothing captures better what went down today than the takedown of the White House website in Spanish that says ‘Go Home.’”

One commenter on X called the wording “devilish,” while another stated, “My jaw actually dropped.”

Other users user speculated that the original message might have been deliberate in order to provoke the left.

White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Harrison Fields addressed the issue, stating that the administration is committed to restoring the Spanish-language section of the website.

“It’s day two. We are in the process of developing, editing, and tweaking the White House website. As part of this ongoing work, some of the archived content on the website went dormant. We are committed to reloading that content in a short timeline,” Fields told the Associated Press.

“By taking down the Spanish website and moving everything to one website, the Trump team is creating a space that will be unified, not divided—bringing Americans together in one place and reinforcing the idea of a unified country—regardless of race, language, country of origin, and culture,” he added.

Joe Biden Pardoned More People Than Any Other Living President

/

Joe Biden pardoned more people than any other president during his four-year tenure with the exception of one: Jimmy Carter.

The former president’s last hours in office saw him controversially issue pardons to government officials and family members, subsequently raising questions as to how many people Biden had pardoned.

In total, the 82-year-old pardoned 8034 people – 6500 of whom had their convictions quashed for marijuana possession. Only Jimmy Carter, who signed Proclamation 4483, granting conditional amnesty to more than 200,000 people who evaded the draft during the Vietnam War supersedes Biden’s tally. Even with the 6500 marijuana commutations excluded, this still holds true for Biden.

Reconstruction Era president Andrew Johnson is third on the list for his pardon of 7,654 people – many of whom were ex-Confederates. Franklin D. Roosevelt, during his 12-year tenure, issued 3,687 pardons while Woodrow Wilson rounded off the top five (2,480).

On Monday, President Donald Trump pardoned 1,500 defendants of Jan. 6, adding to his 237 from his first term – which sent liberals liberals into hysterics. Oddly, the same liberals didn’t make a peep when he was preemptively pardoning his family, or letting murderers off death row.

Barack Obama pardoned 1,927 people while in office – far more than the 459 and 200 of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush respectively.

Only William Henry Harrison and James A. Garfield pardoned no one during their short-lived stints in office, while George Washington pardoned the fewest people of any president to serve a full term.

Do Joe Biden And Kamala Harris Hate Each Other?

/

Official Government accounts are a strange thing.

Donald Trump, for example, now has ownership of the @POTUS handle as well as @realDonaldTrump on X, despite the fact that his preferred platform is his very own Truth Social.

Most politicians have two accounts: one for official government duty, and another to share personal thoughts and opinions. Up until Monday, Jan. 20, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were no different.

Intriguingly, though, neither have shared too much love for each other since the election on their personal pages. The bizarre “bromance” between Biden and Barack Obama widely discussed among Democrats in the final days of the latter’s presidency seems like a bygone era.

Biden and Harris barely referenced each other during the transition period, with Harris only posting about her former boss once following her landslide defeat in November last year.

The Independent reported that the two’s relationship had turned “frosty”. And according to a Wall Street Journal article, Harris was reportedly upset over Biden’s publicly-stated belief that he could have beaten the 47th President of the United States.

This discontent has, arguably, been apparent for some time. After being forced from the Democratic nomination, Biden pulled stunts such as appearing in a MAGA hat while issuing ill-advised remarks about Trump’s supporters. He also smiled with glee the day after the election, and there were many times where Jill Biden seemed to enjoy the company of her husband’s political rival more than his second-in-command.

Do Biden and Harris now hate each other? It’s a strong word, and the two – at least at a personal level – can look back at fond memories of their four-year tenure. It’s unlikely, however, they’ll be on each other’s Christmas card list anytime soon.

Democrat Sen. Leader Chuck Schumer Once Described Preemptive Pardons As “A Gross Abuse” Of Power

/

Joe Biden spent his last hours in office issuing presidential pardons to allies and later family members.

The former president issued preemptive pardons in the dying minutes of his presidency. Ex-White House chief medical adviser, Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and lawmakers who investigated Jan. 6 all received presidential pardons as Biden claimed they faced “revenge” under the new administration.

Furthermore, with less than 20 minutes before his tenure officially came to an end, Biden pardoned relatives such as brothers James and Francis, sister Valerie and sister and brother-in-law respectively, Sara and John Biden.

“My family has been subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me – the worst kind of partisan politics. Unfortunately, I have no reason to believe these attacks will end,” Biden said.

However, his last-minute pardons – timely issued as the eyes of the world centered on President Donald Trump’s inauguration – spurred criticism of hypocrisy for someone who criticized his successor for exploring pardons four years ago.

Trump’s usage of pardons was slammed by senior Democrats during the last transition of power. Following Biden’s sweeping wave of statements on Jan. 20, 2025, a resurfaced clip of Democrat Senate leader Chuck Schumer lambasting the now two-term president went viral on X.

Sen. Schumer described Trump’s proposed use of preemptive pardons as a “a gross abuse of the presidential pardon authority” in the closing days of Trump’s first presidency – comments which were revisited by conservatives online on Inauguration Day.

Others called for constitutional reform on the use of pardons.

Lib Dem Fundraiser Says She was “Fully Indoctrinated” in Leftist Cult

/

If you haven’t already, you’re going to hear from many more former leftists who have gone to the right. Since Donald Trump first took office in the White House in 2016, the Democrat party has gone insane. The constant drumbeat of “Russia-gate” and the “very fine people” lie were bad enough during Trump’s first term. 

But the Biden presidency, and its signature issue, the “pandemic,” showed a party completely unmoored from all reality. Not partial; complete. Not only did the federal government shut down the economy over an illness that didn’t do more than a bad flu usually does, but it forced thousands of small businesses to close forever. The government interfered with the rental housing market and forced landlords to give apartments to people for free. 

Meanwhile, the Democrats and the left have tried to compel Americans to believe there’s no such thing as biological sex, all while cheering for gruesome chemical and surgical child abuse that it calls “gender-affirming care.”

And now, after Los Angeles is burning in the worst wildfire in the nation’s history, even more Democrats have said “enough.”

It’s happening in the upper echelons of politics, too. Lindy Li is a former fundraiser for the Democrat party. Until very recently, she was drumming up support for Joe Biden, then for Kamala Harris. Now, she tells the Daily Mail that she was “fully indoctrinated in the Democratic cult.”

In what Li calls the most “painful but rewarding” periods of her life, Li has jumped ship as is looking forward to attending the inauguration of Donald Trump on Jan. 20. Originally born in China but living in the U.S. since she was four years old, Li said she woke up when she saw the gulf between the party’s claims and reality. Harris, she was told, was a shoo-in for the presidency, but in fact, the public hated her. Not only that, but the party wasted billions of dollars, some that Li raised, on a worthless campaign full of lies and empty promises. 

She tells her story in an exclusive interview with the Mail.  In recent media appearances, Li puts her finger on how the Democrat party does it: “They pretend to be so loving and caring.”

Here’s a sampling of what X/Twitter users had to say in response. 

Poor Anne doesn’t seem to understand what she’s seeing. 

Naturally, not everyone is willing to trust a defector right away. 

Some are unsurprised and pleased to see a leftist party operative see the light.
