California Senator Alex Padilla recently crashed a press conference by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. He deliberately wore no identification. He gave no advance warning that he would disrupt her briefing.
Instead, Padilla barged forward to the podium, shouting about the deportation of illegal aliens.
Immediately, Padilla got his media moment wish — once Secret Service agents, who had no idea who Padilla was, forcibly removed him.
Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., recently attempted a pseudo-filibuster, speaking nonstop for 25 hours straight — not to delay legislation, but to fixate on President Donald Trump.
South Carolina Democratic state Representative Julie von Haefen just posted on social media an image of a bloody guillotine. It bore the title “In these difficult times, some cuts may be necessary” and was juxtaposed with an image of a hanging, beheaded Trump, who, a year ago, was the target of two failed assassination attempts.
The more Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom scream at Trump for nationalizing the California Guard to stop L.A.’s nightly violent anti-ICE protests, the more the two appear on the side of those who riot, destroy property, and attack police.
Yet who really wants to side with illegal aliens who spit on and burn American flags while waving Mexican flags?
Recently, some Democrats and leftists have romanticized Kilmar Abrego Garcia — an illegal alien, accused domestic abuser, gang member, and alleged human trafficker.
They also canonized illegal alien Mahmoud Khalil. But that pro-Hamas “student” helped organize and defend sometimes violent and antisemitic demonstrations at Columbia University.
For some on the Left, the assassin of a UnitedHealthcare CEO, the rich kid Luigi Mangione, has become a folk hero.
Others champion the undocumented family of illegal alien Mohammed Sabry Soliman and demand that they not be deported home to the Middle East — despite Soliman’s recent attempt to murder Jews using a homemade flamethrower and Molotov cocktails.
Former Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, along with other prominent Democrats, mocked the recent Washington, D.C., military parade commemorating the 250th anniversary of the army, comparing it unfavorably with their own concurrent “No Kings” anti-Trump protests.
Those demonstrations — subsidized by left-wing billionaire donors — were utterly incoherent.
No other president has faced more lower federal court injunctions blocking executive orders than Trump.
Indeed, dozens of cherry-picked, left-wing district judges — the real unchecked “kings” — now routinely block almost every one of Trump’s executive orders.
Why are opposition Democrats not offering alternative agendas and compromises?
Could they partner with Trump to allow green cards to illegal aliens who have no criminal records, have not been on public assistance, are now employed, and have resided in the U.S. for over five years?
Could Democrats meet with the president to express bipartisan support for democratic Israel in its existential war with theocratic Iran?
Instead, why do Democrats throw 2-year-old temper tantrums to howl nihilistically at everything Trump says and does?
One, exasperated Democrats lack all levers of political power — the Congress, the White House, and the Supreme Court. So, they take to the media and the streets.
Two, Democrats are permanently frustrated that the more they scream and stomp, the more polls show radical declines in public support for their party.
Three, their nemesis, 79-year-old Trump, seems impervious to Democratic lawfare, threats, and smears.
Despite the hysterical attacks, he is still polling now about where prior presidents like George Bush and Barack Obama were at similar junctures in their second terms.
The more Trump is smeared as a fascist or dictator, the more polls — like the latest liberal Economist/YouGov survey — show him gaining public support for securing the border and deportation.
And the more the Left damns Trump as a racist, the more he wins unprecedented Black and Hispanic support. In recent Rasmussen tracking polls, Trump garnered 54 percent approval from Black voters and 53 percent from Hispanics.
Four, Trump proves a hard-to-hit, moving target for the frustrated left. He cannot quite be pigeonholed as a predictable right-wing bogeyman.
Unlike the Left, when Trump weighs in on the Ukraine war, he first begins by deploring the tragic waste of over a million lives.
No one is more pro-Israel. Yet no one has offered a losing Iran a chance to negotiate its way out of total and humiliating defeat.
Trump talks nonstop about protecting the middle class. Unions like him; Wall Street mostly despises him.
Trump wants to deport as many illegal alien criminals as possible. But he is willing to consider green cards for unlawful aliens who are working, crime-free, and with long residence in the U.S.
The Trump counterrevolution barrels ahead. The people cheer. And Democrats keep barking at the moon.
Item #1 on our comeback agenda should be to bring back the word
Scab
to describe illegals who drive down wages.
I think normal people need to take to the streets and start beating the shit out leftists.
Scab?
If you can’t compete on the Free Market stay home! America is supposed to be about economic liberty and economic competition not about a protected class of workers — or ANY kind of protected class, be they poor, middle class, or rich. Worker or businessman.
The unions practically destroyed the American car industry. The teacher’s union has destroyed America education. The government unions are destroying the government.
The unions are just another branch and another tool of MARXISM.
“The artificially high wages forced on the economy by compulsory unionism imposed economic hardships on other groups—particularly on non-union workers and on unskilled labor, which was being squeezed gradually out of the market. Today’s widespread unemployment is the result of organized labor’s privileges and of allied measures, such as minimum wage laws. For years, the unions supported these measures and sundry welfare legislation, apparently in the belief that the costs would be paid by taxes imposed on the rich. The growth of inflation has shown that the major victim of government spending and of taxation is the middle class. Organized labor is part of the middle class—and the actual value of labor’s forced “social gains” is now being wiped out.” – Ayn Rand
YES! Scab.
Those who make a living wage barely enough to pay the rent and clothe their 2.3 children should not be undercut by those who sleep 3 to a bedroom and relieve themselves 6 to a bathroom.
The reason I don’t apologize for having been a liberal in the first half of my life is because THIS was the most essential issue held by liberal orthodoxy.
Scabs were ….. well, SCABS❗
I’ll tell you something else:
If the Dems were to re-adopt those orthodoxies they held in 1968, they would look sane again. Hubert Humphrey would have been 100 times better than Carter, and 1,000 times better than Obama.

….and I’ll tell you something further:
Ayn Rand treater the fanboys like a Muslim running a grooming gang.
She was a horny old whore.
Damn autocorrect.
treated her fanboys
Aahh. . .I haven’t had a dose of Ayn Rand in weeks. Thanks. I feel dumber already.
Something For Nothing: Unions
by Thomas Sowell | Mar 2, 2006 | POLITICS
Government is not the only institution that promises something for nothing. The decline of General Motors is just one consequence of the idea that labor unions can get their members something for nothing. Workers themselves increasingly recognize the reality that there is no free lunch through unionization and are increasingly voting to be non-union. But […]

Maybe if someone took Governor Nuisance and Mayor Loud Mouth Bass and knocked their heads together to that Hollow Coconut sound like the 3 Stooges
Well, the Democrats have opted out of the social contract that we had for over 200 years. In that unstated compact, the losing party, once out of power, became the “loyal opposition. When the Democrats lose now they become ” the resistance, ” refusing to cooperate with the Republicans in any way on anything. It’s simply automatic obstruction across the board. This, of course, destroys any influence they might otherwise have had but they don’t care as they now operate under the old Leftist maxim “rule or ruin.”
All they have left is the tiresome old Leftist rage for power, and we have all had quite enough of that.
Just what ever happened with that screwball who wanted to sail around on the Iceberg(Holy Titanic Batman)to prove this whole Global Warming/Climate Change scam
This insanity of the left is very apparent in the House and Senate hearings. When the Dems speak, they sound like elementary school kids vying for attention. The comments that they offer should be embarrassing to the entire party. Petty objections, controlling the witnesses by cutting them off even after they ask them to respond to their questions., making illogical conclusions about the witness’s response, making absurd accusations that are logical fallacies, ignoring reality and so on. The Dems have lost all dignity and integrity by gaslighting witnesses. I can hardly stand to listen to their adolescent claptrap and absurd destruction of logic. How long will this go on until they are actually embarrassed by their moronic absurdities? VDH has their number, and I hope that at least one of them will come to their senses. My dad always told me that common sense is not very common. It applies to these immoral and devious Dems.
The Dems, embarrassed? We shouldn’t hold our breath… They have been pathetically incoherent for a few years now, and they seem hell-bent on doubling down with pig manure-filled rhetoric.
The problem with craziness is it always seems sane to the crazy person. Which is why I have this rule: Never argue with a lunatic, an angry drunk, or a Scientologist. And it’s probably time to add Democrat to that list.
