Democrats

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz took his left-wing wish list to Texas this week, blaming the Democratic Party’s 2024 implosion on a lack of “boldness” when it comes to divisive policies like DEI and open-border immigration, as reported by Fox News.

During a town hall appearance in Rosenberg with failed Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke, Walz railed against Republicans and even admitted Democrats let the Right define “woke.”

Apparently, his solution is to embrace it harder.

“I’m just going to note this sh*t show of a [Signal] text chain that was going on could have used a little diversity, equity, inclusion in the people who were there.”

Walz didn’t stop there. He blamed Democrats for backing off their far-left policies when confronted by public backlash.

“We got ourselves in this mess because we weren’t bold enough to stand up and say ‘you damn right we’re proud of these policies.’ We’re going to put them in, and we’re going to execute them.”

So just to be clear—his party lost, and his takeaway is that they weren’t radical enough? Got it.

He then accused Republicans of fearmongering, saying, “They’re going to use fear, and they’re going to do whatever they can,” while urging the Democrat base to organize.

He even dragged veterans into the DEI conversation, claiming, “One of the groups that has benefited greatly by us understanding that diversity, equity and inclusion and having policies around that, were veterans themselves for hiring.”

Not done yet, Walz doubled down on his belief that Minnesota’s “very existence depends on diversity, equity and inclusion,” because 70% of the state’s future workforce “will come from communities of color.”

That’s quite a stretch considering most Americans just want a functioning border and a government that doesn’t obsess over skin color and gender pronouns.

And in classic liberal form, Walz couldn’t resist lobbing more verbal grenades at Trump supporters, referring to them as people whose “a**” he could kick—something he had said earlier on a podcast with California Governor Gavin Newsom. President Trump had a response for that.

“Well, he’s a loser. Yeah. No, I think so. He lost an election,” President Trump fired back. “He played a part. You know, usually a vice president doesn’t play a part… I think Tim played a part. I think he was so bad that he hurt her. But she hurt herself. And Joe hurt them both.”

From where conservatives sit, Walz’s comments only confirm what we already know—Democrats aren’t learning from their failures. They’re doubling down, and they’re proud of it. And apparently, they’re taking advice from the guy who couldn’t even beat Ted Cruz.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to condemn the violence against Tesla dealerships and vehicle owners, point blank ignoring a reporter’s question asking her to disavow the terroristic behavior.

Attacks on Tesla facilities have ramped up with recent reports of explosive devices even being found planted under vehicles in one Austin dealership.

However, Pelosi appears to believe such incidents are not worthy of a comment.

“What do you think about the violence at the Tesla dealerships? What’s your take on it?” the reporter asked Pelosi.

“I’m so sorry, I’m a little bit late here right now,” Pelosi responded.

All she had to say was “I condemn it”—that’s it.

But no.

Watch:

Pelosi appears okay with innocent Americans being attacked by angry leftists.

Elon Musk responded to the ongoing attacks, saying, “Tesla is a peaceful company that has made great cars, great products.

“That’s all it’s done. It hasn’t harmed anyone. And yet, people are committing violence. They’re firebombing Tesla dealerships.”

“They’re shooting guns into stores. They’re threatening people. They’re issuing death threats against me and another Tesla personnel. What are they doing this for? Why?” Musk further noted.

“What’s happening, it seems to me, is they’re being fed propaganda by the far left,” he continued, adding “And they believe it. It’s really unfortunate. The real problem is not the people.”

“It’s not like, you know, the crazy guy that firebombs a Tesla dealership. It’s the people pushing the propaganda that caused that guy to do it. Those are the real villains here,” Musk urged, adding “we’re going to go after them.”

Last week, Musk said his life was in danger due to his heavy involvement in the Trump administration’s efforts to combat government waste and fraud.

The DOGE leader told Fox News’s Sean Hannity that “when you take away people’s … fraud, the money they’re receiving fraudulently, they get very upset, and they basically want to kill me because I’m stopping their fraud.”

He added:

“And they want to hurt Tesla because we’re stopping this terrible waste and corruption in the government. And, well, I guess they’re bad people. Bad people do bad things.”

Barely a month after California governor Gavin Newsom said that allowing transgender athletes – biological men who identify as women – to participate in women’s sports was deeply unfair, Democrats have steered the state in the opposite direction.

On March 22, California Assembly Democrats voted unanimously to block the hearing of “AB 844: Educational equity: sex-segregated school and athletic programs and activities: use of facilities” bill that would have enforced gender-segregated sports and locker rooms.

“This bill, notwithstanding any other law, would require that a student’s participation in sex-segregated athletic programs and activities and use of facilities, including bathrooms, locker rooms, showers, overnight accommodations, and student housing at a postsecondary institution be based upon the student’s sex,” AB44 reads in part.

Assemblyman Bill Essayli (CA-R-63) introduced the proposal to protect girls from potential predation by men exploiting gender identity to access their private facilities. He lamented the Democrats’ disregard for logic and the will of most American voters.

“Assembly Democrats care more about allowing biological boys into girls’ sports and locker rooms than protecting our daughters — this defies all common sense,” Assemblyman Essayli said.

“The vast majority of Californians and all Americans agree: keep boys out of girls’ sports. Assembly Democrats are radically out of touch with common sense Californians, and the voters will hold them accountable to restore justice and fairness in girls’ sports.”

California Democrats also removed Assemblyman Essayli from all committees for proposing the removal of sanctuary protections for illegal immigrants.

Meanwhile, Gov. Newsom has not issued a public statement about the bill or his party members’ unanimous decision to block its vote despite previously signaling support for fairness in women’s sports. Nonetheless, he had suggested handling the transgender issue carefully, claiming that gender non-conforming individuals are more likely to commit suicide. This false narrative sharply contradicts a recent study that linked gender affirming care to higher suicide rates.

“There’s also a humility and a grace, that these poor people are more likely to commit suicide, have anxiety and depression. So both things I can hold in my hand,” he said.

“How can we address this issue with the kind of decency that I think is inherent in you but not always expressed on the issue, but at the same time deal with the unfairness?”

However, the threat posed by men who identify as women in women’s sports and locker rooms is well documented. In 2023, a transgender individual who was using women’s bathrooms and locker rooms beat a female student to death in Rivesider, California. Similarly, volleyball player Payton McNabb was severely injured when a transgender opponent spiked a ball so hard on her head that it caused traumatic brain injuries.

Newsom and other Democrats also overlook the mental health impact the inclusion of trans athletes has on sportswomen displaced by their biological male competitors, whom they cannot fairly compete against. In 2023, 27-year-old transgender cyclist Austin Killips won the women’s Tour of the Gila in New Mexico stage race with a whopping 50 minutes and 25 seconds. 

Ada Gallagher, a transgender high schooler, also set records in the 200-meter and 400-meter girls’ races, defeating the runner-up by over 7 seconds in the usually tightly contested race. High school athlete Margaret Oneal, who ranked second behind a transgender runner, said that competing against a “physically stronger” biological male was “discouraging and disheartening” and took a mental toll on her teammates.

Sens. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) also said the inclusion of trans athletes in women’s sports undermines sportswomen in numerous ways.

“To do so would threaten a woman’s physical safety and limit their opportunities for athletic success and scholarships,” Rep. Ernst said. “As a woman and a mother, I am passionate about protecting women and girls, which is why I’m working with my colleagues to pass the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.”

It’s got to be tough to be a Democrat in 2025 with all the conservative wins they have to face every single day. The Trump administration has been a high-speed steam roller taking down the de facto “laws” that Democrats have magicked into being against common sense, actual law, and the public’s will. 

Joe Biden redefined the meanings of the term “sex” in the landmark law called Title IX that was passed in the early 70s to give women and girls the same academic and sporting opportunities as men and boys. In a mirror-reversal, the Biden administration forced schools to allow boys (they call them “trans girls”) to play on girls’ sports teams or risk federal punishment. Trump overturned that. 

Biden and Democrats claimed that they “could not” slow the influx of illegal aliens without Congress giving them new legislation. That wasn’t true; they just didn’t want to close the border. Trump proved it by installing an aggressive border czar, Tom Homan. All without any new laws, illegal immigration is down by about 90 percent over where it was under Biden. Even liberal Axios has to admit this, as much as it pains them. 

Cue new leftist hysteria about their most sacred ritual, abortion. 

As part of an investigation into whether Planned Parenthood has used federal money to pay for now-illegal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, the White House announced on March 25 that it would “pause” $120 million in taxpayer dollars that were set to go to what the leftist press euphemistically calls the country’s largest “family planning” organization.

The New Republic, like all other mainstream (which means: leftist) media pretends that it doesn’t understand that money is fungible:

“Conservatives have long fought to defund Planned Parenthood due to its abortion advocacy, despite no federal funds being used for the health procedure given that federal law already prohibits taxpayer funds from going to abortions,” the magazine wrote. 

Let’s take a look at leftist Twitter and see who’s gnashing their teeth. “Saddy mayonnaise,” who appears to be an AWFL (affluent white female liberal), is pretending that libs don’t want the funding for abortion. Nope, it’s mean old Donald Trump trying to stop women from getting non-abortion health care:

Feminized girl-man Brian Krassenstein is using the same line:

What’s interesting, though, is you have to actually hunt through X/Twitter to find people objecting to Trump’s move. The mood on that platform is distinctly in favor of cutting off taxpayer money to what most call an “abortion mill.”

In a recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, former State Department official Mike Benz detailed a covert operation by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) during the Obama administration, which involved the creation of a secret Twitter-like social media platform designed to incite political unrest in Cuba.

“This was a scandal during Obama, the Obama USAID era,” Benz said.

“Now, we were running a number of rogue USAID operations in Cuba at the time.”

The operation, known as ZunZuneo, was modeled after Twitter and launched between 2009 and 2014 to target Cuban citizens with initially non-political content like sports, music, and hurricane updates. According to Benz, the aim was to build a user base large enough to later introduce political messages designed to create civil unrest and ultimately spark a “Cuban Spring.”

“This was a Twitter knockoff,” Benz said.

“Zunzini, oh, is the Cuban slang word for hummingbird. So just it means it’s bird. It was the Twitter bird, the whole thing. But the whole trick about it was, you have to make it look like it’s coming from the Cubans, if you’re going to do this operation.”

Benz explained that USAID funneled money for the project through concealed channels.

“They took funds, millions of dollars, of funds that were concealed as humanitarian funds designated for Pakistan,” he said.

“Now, I don’t know if Joe or the audience, if you’ve looked at a map lately, but Pakistan is not exactly a next-door neighbor of Cuba.”

The project was executed by Creative Associates International (CAI), a U.S. government contractor.

According to Benz, CAI set up a complex network of front companies and used Cayman Islands bank accounts to conceal the source of funding.

“They said that these were humanitarian funds for Pakistan, and then they ran that to their contractor, CAI, to quote, set up a Byzantine system of front companies using Cayman Islands bank accounts and recruiting unsuspecting business executives who would not be told of the company’s ties to the U.S. government,” Benz said.

The operation reached around 60,000 subscribers in Cuba. Benz described how the initial content served as a smokescreen for building a surveillance and political targeting network.

“The initiative appears to also have had a surveillance dimension, allowing a, quote, vast database of Cuban zunzinio subscribers, including gender, age and receptiveness and political tendencies, to be built,” he said.

“The data would then be used for micro targeting efforts towards anti and pro-government users in Cuba.”

Benz emphasized that the political content was introduced after enough users had joined, stating, “Once they hit a critical mass, they would create rental riots and they would use this the same way they used it in Egypt and Tunisia to topple those governments under the Obama administration. They would organize smart mobs, rental riots.”

Internal documents revealed by Benz indicated that the program’s end goal was to spark a political movement and challenge the Cuban government’s power structure.

“Documents show the U.S. government plan to build a subscriber base through non-controversial news content… Later, when the network reached a critical mass… operators would introduce political content aimed at inspiring Cubans to organize, quote, smart mobs… that might trigger a Cuban spring, or, as one USAID document put it, quote, renegotiate the balance of power between state and society.”

Benz also addressed the implications of running such operations through USAID rather than the CIA.

“This is classic CIA work,” he said.

“You’re using Cayman Islands bank accounts. You’re marking it for Pakistan… If this gets busted, this is why we task the CIA to do this—plausible deniability… because there’s diplomatic blowback if U.S. fingerprints are revealed.”

While Benz clarified he is not defending the Cuban regime, he stated, “I’m simply showing the American people where your tax dollars are going and how these things are structured in order to systematically fool you and to fool Congress and to fool the White House.”

No current U.S. official has commented on Benz’s claims, but his revelations have reignited scrutiny of USAID’s role in foreign influence operations and the use of civilian agencies for covert activity traditionally conducted by intelligence services.

Former Clinton pollster Mark Penn raised alarms Friday night about the state of the Democratic Party, pointing to historic lows in national favorability ratings and a shrinking voter base that threatens the party’s electoral viability. During an appearance on Fox News’ Hannity, Penn cited recent polling data from CNN/SSRS showing the Democratic Party’s favorability rating plummeting to 29%. The poll, conducted March 6-9, marked a sharp decline from the party’s previous standing at 47%, according to Penn.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in over 40 years of polling,” Penn said. “The Democratic Party ratings have collapsed from a 47% favorable down to 29, 27 in some of these polls, and that’s an incredible loss of moderate, working-class voters.”

Penn, who served as a top adviser to President Bill Clinton and later worked with Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign, said the party’s support has narrowed to a more progressive base, alienating moderates and independents who were once key to Democratic victories.

“Those [are the] kinds of voters that the Democratic Party needs to win elections, and it’s being shrunk to a base of left-wing advocates like Bernie Sanders and AOC who were touring the country carrying the Democratic banner. That’s not helping,” Penn added, referencing Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.

The polling collapse follows a major political shift in the 2024 elections, in which Republicans reclaimed control of the White House and secured majorities in both the House and Senate.

In response, national Democratic organizations—including the Democratic National Committee (DNC), the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), and the Association of State Democratic Committees—launched a new campaign dubbed the “People’s Town Halls.”

That tour began last Friday in Iowa and is targeting Republican-held districts across the country.

Party officials say the effort is meant to rebuild trust with voters and push back against Republican messaging, particularly in battleground states where Democrats suffered key losses. The Democrats’ opposition strategy has focused heavily on the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), created under President Donald Trump and currently led by Elon Musk.

DOGE has implemented major workforce reductions across federal agencies, part of a broader initiative to reduce government spending and bureaucracy. While DOGE has received support from fiscal conservatives and portions of the public, it has sparked fierce resistance from Democratic lawmakers and advocacy groups. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez took to social media earlier this week to criticize the Trump-backed government funding bill, calling it a “slush fund” for Trump and Musk.

In contrast, Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania criticized his own party’s response to the bill, suggesting that the resistance amounted to posturing.

“Total theater,” Fetterman said in a public statement, adding to internal Democratic tensions over strategy and messaging.

As Democrats seek to regroup following their 2024 defeats, Penn’s remarks suggest deepening concerns within the party’s establishment over its ability to connect with the voters it once relied on. With favorability ratings falling and leadership splintered over how to respond to President Trump’s policy agenda, party officials face mounting pressure to reassess their direction ahead of the 2026 midterms.

DOGE leader Elon Musk has announced he will be suing former Democrat Jamaal Bowman for his claims that the SpaceX boss is a “Nazi” during an appearance on CNN. Bowman appeared on CNN’s Newsnight to parrot the false left-wing media narrative that there is an organic groundswell against the Republican Party due to DOGE cuts.

He then made a series of slanderous claims against Musk and the supposed opposition to DOGE, despite polling data showing massive support for the initiative.

In response to the claim, Musk took to X to announce legal action against Bowman.

“I’ve had enough. Lawsuit inbound,” Musk wrote.

Musk, who has repeatedly condemned Nazi ideology, was accused of giving a Nazi salute while speaking at a Trump victory rally. However, footage from the event clearly shows Musk pointing to someone in the crowd before raising his fist in the air.

Regardless of the truth, media networks immediately began reporting on doctored clips from the rally to falsely accuse Musk of giving a salute.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the quiet part out loud this week on PBS, admitting that the Democrats intentionally stacked the courts with 235 progressive judges to stop President Donald Trump. It’s no surprise that since Trump took office this year, he’s been bombarded with an all-out legal assault from the weaponized judicial branch plagued with radical leftists.

Since January, Trump has faced 132 legal challenges, with only two resolved. What’s worse is Schumer admitted it all on live TV. When host Geoff Bennett asked if the nation is facing a constitutional crisis, Schumer began gloating about the Dems’ court schemes against Trump.

“There are those who believe that we are, in real time, living through an assault on the constitutional order. Do you believe that we are in a constitutional crisis right now?” Bennett asked.

“Yes,” Schumer responded, adding, “Our democracy is at risk because Donald Trump shows that he wishes to violate the laws in many, many different ways.”

Then came the bombshell.

Watch:

Schumer’s remarks basically validate Trump’s argument about the weaponized judiciary. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) took to X immediately after Schumer’s admission, writing: “‘Progressive judges’ That doesn’t mean ‘judges who follow the law.’ It means progressive activists wearing black robes.”

Representative Eli Crane (R-AZ) also responded: “Here you have Schumer admitting that they put progressive judges in place for the explicit purpose of ruling against Trump. It’s all coordinated and intentional. Congress must act.”
