Why California Proves the Extreme Left Is Now the Democrat Mainstream

The Democratic Party did not merely drift left over the decades, as some still politely maintain. It was captured, body and soul, by its radical socialist wing—hijacked, thrown into the trunk, and driven straight off the cliff into the ideological abyss. The old moderates are extinct, reduced to fossils of a bygone order that once […]

Capital Markets Require Protection From Elizabeth Warren

Senator Elizabeth Warren has never seen a private financial institution she didn’t want to seize control of, and her latest obsession is with private credit, the burgeoning sector of non-bank lenders that increasingly finance small and medium-sized businesses.  In her May 13, 2026 letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, the […]

For that, a 32-year-old thug nearly beat the 69-year-old Army veteran to death in broad daylight this week. Sheron’s wife says there’s no hope for recovery. This […]

Forget the 2024 Autopsy

Kamala Harris

Here’s Why Democrats Can’t Shake Their Worst Political Liability. The 2024 presidential election autopsy, which the Democratic National Committee commissioned and was shamed into releasing this week, is absolutely pathetic. Even in releasing it, the DNC felt honor-bound to mark it up, noting that some of the claims run counter to real evidence. The DNC will doubtless […]

Democrats’ Desperate “Jim Crow 2.0” Smear

Rewriting History While Their Party Owned the Original Racist Playbook. Democrats keep screeching “Jim Crow 2.0” like a broken record every time Republicans push common-sense election security, redraw maps, or require basic ID to vote. It’s their go-to libel, designed to paint America First policies as some reincarnation of segregationist evil. The claim is pure […]

Wondering What a Trump Endorsement Is Worth?

Texas Is About to Show You in Brutal Fashion Anybody still doubting the power of a Trump endorsement in today’s Republican Party needs to watch Texas this week. Ken Paxton versus John Cornyn in the May 26 GOP Senate runoff isn’t just another primary. It’s a live demonstration of what happens when the base gets […]

What Democrats Could Say, but Aren’t. What They Are Saying, but Shouldn’t.

The midterm elections are about five months away, and we’re having here in California a hotly contested governor’s race. And of course, everybody’s heard about the mayor’s race. They all have something in common if we examine them. There is no Democratic agenda.
