BREAKING NEWS: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard submitted her resignation to President Trump today. She is stepping down at the end of June to assist her husband, Abraham, who was just diagnosed with "an extremely rare form of bone cancer." Please keep Tulsi, Abraham and their family in your prayers.
Memorial Day
We’re headed into Memorial Day weekend, and it seems particularly poignant this year as we have a president who is taking care of unfinished problems left by his predecessors.
Of course, that means all over the globe one million men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces are on watch, standing guard and prepared to go into combat—just as they have done decade after decade since 1776. God bless and protect them all.
A special note of thanks to Johnny “Joey” Jones, who reenlisted in the Marine Corps this week. Joey lost both of his legs in Afghanistan, and it dramatically changed his life. He and his wife ended up getting divorced, sadly.
But he’s a fighter and acquitted himself well as a commentator on Fox News. He chose Memorial Day weekend to re-up. God help us if we run out of men like him.
DNC Autopsy
After months of pontificating, delaying and arguing, the Democrat National Committee finally released the “2024 autopsy report.” They paid good money for this report to determine why they lost.
The short answer is two words—Kamala Harris. But they didn’t need to hire experts for that. All you have to do is read my “End of Day” reports, and I wouldn’t have even billed them. There’s nothing “magical” about why Harris lost. She was an incredibly ineffective candidate. Here are some of the main findings:
- The autopsy blames the Biden White House for failing to give Harris opportunities to shine. But Biden made her the “Border Czar,” and she led the administration’s efforts to promote abortion, especially after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
- The report claims the Democrat Party was “too anti-Trump” and didn’t offer a vision of their own. (They are doing that again.)
- It does mention the transgender issue and how the Democrats’ inability to maneuver was very costly. It also notes that the Trump campaign’s “Harris is for they/them. Donald Trump is for you” ad was one of the most incredibly effective campaign ads in modern American history. (See next item.)
- Incredibly, the report is completely silent about Joe Biden’s age and his disastrous debate performance.
And there are other obvious things. The Biden/Harris administration was four long years of abject failures. They presided over an unprecedented invasion of illegal aliens into our country. Their retreat from Afghanistan was a total debacle and national humiliation. Their entire party spent four years trying to put Donald Trump in jail and knock him off state ballots to steal the election before the election even took place. The list goes on and on.
Left-wing Lunacy
The House of Representatives voted Wednesday on a commonsense bill to protect children and parental rights. The legislation requires public elementary and middle schools to receive parental consent for a child to “socially transition” in school and use “preferred pronouns” that lie about the child’s gender.
This should have passed unanimously. But while every Republican voted for it, 93% of House Democrats voted against it. Let that sink in.
Virtually every House Democrat voted to allow radical left-wing teachers to turn your son into a girl or your daughter into a boy! If they think they can do that without your knowledge, what else will they do to our children? What else do they think they can do to you?
These monsters cannot be trusted with power!
GOP Crybabies
Senate Republicans were supposed to pass a reconciliation bill funding federal immigration enforcement efforts next week. President Trump wanted the bill on his desk by June 1st. But senators just went home early and won’t come back until June 2nd at the earliest. There are reports they may be gone for weeks without taking care of the border protection bill that they promised us.
Insiders and even some GOP senators are saying that part of the reason they skipped town is because they are angry Trump endorsed Ken Paxton over John Cornyn and worked to defeat Sen. Bill Cassidy in Louisiana.
Does that sound like rational thinking to you?
The country is in the middle of being permanently transformed into a globalist, socialist nation. Democrats were contemplating wiping out the entire Virginia Supreme Court because a majority of justices followed the state’s constitution.
Every Democrat is saying that when they get power, they will pack the Supreme Court with left-wing judicial activists, abolish the Electoral College, create new left-wing Democrat states to elect more left-wing Democrat senators and do everything they can to remove Donald Trump from office.
And what are some Republican senators saying? “He beat my lunch buddy and the guy I hang out with in the Senate cloakroom. Trump’s so mean!”
It is impossible to figure out what occupies the minds of some “leaders” of our party.
A Reminder
When Obamacare was debated in Congress, its abortion provisions left it struggling in the House. Back then, there were dozens of House Democrats who at least pretended to be pro-life, and they did not want to vote for Obamacare. Democrats put them in a room and told them to toe the line, or else.
To help them, they made up a fake amendment that sounded like it prevented taxpayer funding of abortion. Obamacare narrowly passed. In the following election, virtually every one of those pro-life House Democrats was defeated at the polls by Republicans.
Nancy Pelosi was confronted by reporters who asked if she felt any responsibility for losing the House. She laughed. She said she had “no regrets” and “Members came here to do a job, not to keep a job.” In other words, you don’t have a majority just so you can have a majority. You have a majority to get things done. That’s what she did.
Republicans have a 53 to 47 majority in the Senate. Much more good legislation should be passing.
Democrats Diss The SEC
House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries and the NAACP are telling rising Black athletes heading to college to boycott all Southeastern Conference (SEC) schools. Why? Jeffries claims that SEC states are engaging in “Jim Crow-like tactics,” and “if there’s no [Black political] representation, there should be no [Black] athletic or sports participation.”
That’s the ad that ought to be run in every SEC state—Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and South Carolina. It will never show up in a poll, but these are the kinds of broader cultural issues that end up winning and losing elections.
Nothing in the SEC states makes them prouder than their fully integrated basketball and football teams, and the Democrat Party just declared war on that historic sports conference.
GOP strategists don’t need to spend millions creating this ad. I could do it in my sleep.
Trump & Texas
President Trump was asked this week whether his endorsement of Attorney General Ken Paxton would put the Texas Senate seat in jeopardy. Some people think it will be a hard battle. But both candidates have issues. President Trump wasn’t at all concerned. Referring to Democrat James Talarico, Trump replied:
“[Paxton will] go on to defeat a very defective candidate that believes in six genders, and he takes hits at Jesus Christ, and he’s wearing a mask six months ago, anybody wearing a mask six months ago doesn’t get it.
“And he’s vegan, he’s a vegan in Texas. You can’t get elected as a vegan in Texas.”
By the way, Talarico has been doing interviews in recent days in order to make it known that he has a girlfriend. There were a lot of rumors that he plays for “the other team.”
If the GOP political operation can’t beat this guy, they should all go into another line of work.
