The Democrats Have a Problem with Normal

Is anyone shocked at this point? Why Can't You Be Normal?! The Dems Are Nominating Total Freaks for Office.

n Maine, Nazi Graham Platner was booted after a rape allegation was lobbed against him. He was replaced by Troy Jackson, a Democrat with reported anger issues and someone who married his second cousin. Is it illegal or election-killing? No, but it does feed into the disturbing trend among Democrats: they can’t find normal people to run for office.

You used to expect this from places like San Francisco. I'm old enough to remember when Sister Mary Boom Boom, Nun of the Above, ran for office in that city, and almost won. (People do want to vote for none of the above.) But I never expected this kind of insanity from Maine, or the rest of the items on the list.

Satanist weddings, beheading chickens, fake weddings, passing bills that protect child sex predators, hanging out with terrorists, hiring pedophiles—what is going on with the Democratic Party?

I miss Western Civilization. (Hat tip to MaddMedic)

Minnesota's Democrat Governor Pardons Monster

Trump Derangement Syndrome Minnesota's Democrat Governor Tim Walz pardons illegal migrant PEDOPHILE who raped girl aged 10 to stop the predator from being deported | Daily Mail Online

Minnesota Democrats (all Democrats?) love these monsters more than they love Justice.

Vang admitted to repeatedly sexually abusing the child for four years when he pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal sexual conduct in 2006, and at the time he justified his actions by claiming it is a 'cultural thing' to 'marry and have sex with girls as young as 12.'

But he was due to be deported, and Democrats hate that, at least when a Republican is in the White House.

Hat tip to Clayton Cramer: Remember What Party Hates Trump More Than Child Rapers

This is the party that with no evidence claims Trump is a pedophile but helps keep a guy who makes excuses for raping a 10-year-old in the U.S You also notice that justifying raping a child got him no jail time in 2006.

No jail time. I miss living in a civilized society that took the concept of Justice seriously.

Late Stage TDS

And once again the party that claims to be for peace, love, and understanding, (that would be the Democrats) are vile, and wishing ill on people who dare to disagree with them. Trump Derangement Syndrome: Some Historical Perspective on Political Manias : The Other McCain

How can it be that someone working as the assistant vice president of a financial institution could think this way? And believe she could post something like that online without consequences?

The problem is not just that a lot of Democrats are insane — although, of course they are — but that so many people, including Republicans, are incapable of thinking outside of the here-and-now of politics, the 24/7 news cycle reinforced by constant immersion in social media noise.

Latest Assassin's Manifesto

From David Strom at Hot Air: Manifesto Released: He Believed All the Lies the Democrats Now Claim They Never Said

As I spent the evening scouring the internet for information on the assassination attempt last night, I ran across a ton of posts from lefties claiming that it was either staged—a fan favorite—or that the motive might never be known.

Hasan Piker was quite angry that people pointed out that he, just the other day, talked about harnessing the left's assassination fantasies as a way to organize followers.

But then Hasan Piker...

The Democratic Party is now a hate group. I don't say that lightly, but as even a few social scientists have noted, there is an assassination culture on the left. And it's not just Trump. The anti-Israel movement celebrates Hamas, talks about #resistance and the necessity of violence to achieve social change, and the Democrats embrace these people as their next generation of voters.

The Media Runs Cover for Democratic Activist

The Other McCain has the details: ‘Independent Journalist,’ My Ass!

This story is just wild beyond words, but what infuriated me was the reference to “independent journalist Christopher Hale,” when anyone could have done a Google search and learned what I have told you about Hale, that he is a Democratic Party operative, with a shady reputation and no credentials whatsoever as a “journalist.” Furthermore — and I should hope my Catholic friends see this as I do — what are we to make of the fact that George Soros has expended vast amounts of money to influence (or perhaps a better verb is subvert) the Catholic Church?

Chicago's Mayor Is Completely Out of Touch

From Warner Todd Huston at Chicago Contrarian we get the latest on the insanity coming from the mayor's office. Illegal Immigrant Murders Sheridan Gorman, but Chicago Mayor’s Concern Is with Safety of Illegals

Only about 10 days after the brutal and senseless murder of Chicago college student Sheridan Gorman, Mayor Brandon Johnson was heard expressing his fear illegal immigrants are feeling unsafe in Chicago.

What. The. Fuck.

But then if the Democratic Machine that runs Chicago cared about the safety of the legal residents, they would probably back up the police more, instead of hanging them out to dry at every opportunity.

Read the whole thing for a look inside the mind of the Democratic Party. (It isn't just one crazy mayor, it is the entire Party.)

The Democratic Gifts to the Iranian Mullahs

From The Other McCain we get an immigration update. Lifestyles of the Rich and Shameless: The Family Had ‘Great Satan’ Green Cards

The Obama administration shipped pallets of cash to the mullahs in Iran, and then Biden gave green cards to relatives of the Islamic regime, just so the aforesaid relatives could drive around in $200,000 Land Rovers and hobnob with the Hollywood snobs. Good riddance to all that.

And yes, they were living large in California.

So if you hate America, support our enemies and think of the United States as “the Great Satan,” where else would choose to live except in Gavin Newsom’s California, “enjoying a lavish lifestyle” among the liberal Hollywood snobs who hate America as much as you do?

No Respect for Former FBI Chief Robert Mueller

The Democrats will hate this. Scandal-Plagued Former FBI Chief Robert Mueller Dies in Disgrace at Age 81 : The Other McCain

De mortuis nil nisi bonum is always wise policy, which Democrats never follow whenever one of their enemies die. Democrats hate without apology, but become indignant if Republicans return the favor.

This headline is modeled on the headline that Variety used to announce the passing of Chuck Norris. Which they have not taken down. (See below) Norris was a lifelong Democrat, until that party was pushed so far to the Left that he believed he had been left behind, and finally called himself a Republican. Which is apparently an unforgivable sin to the Left and the media, but I repeat myself.

Readers might notice that the headline of this obituary is perhaps not a model of journalistic objectivity, but that’s the whole point. You see, I spent a decade at the Washington Times, which gave me a chance to study how our liberal competitor, the Washington Post, always slanted everything, including obituaries. Liberal journalists find ways to sneak in tendentious words and phrases like controversial and scandal-plagued when writing about their chosen enemies, and I think this is as good an occasion as any to repay the favor in the case of Bob Mueller.

The Democratic Party Sees No Problem With Defrauding the American Taxpayer

This says so much about the Democratic Party. Almost 200 House Dems vote against deporting people who commit welfare fraud | Fox News

The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation Wednesday to crack down on illegal immigrants participating in welfare fraud despite fierce objections from most Democrats.

Lawmakers voted 231-186 to approve the Deporting Fraudsters Act, with 186 Democrats opposing the measure.

If you are curious how your representative voted, that information is available on Congress.gov, where the roll call is recorded. If you don't know who your representative is (you don't?), you can look that up at House.gov by entering your zip code in the "Find Your Representative" box at the upper right-hand side of the page.

The House.Gov pages for each representative makes it easy to send your representative an email, to express your views on current issues, upcoming legislation, etc. Senate.gov is similar, if easier, since there are many fewer senators to search.

5 Largest U.S. Cities Are Essentially Broke

Are we shocked that Democrats can't manage money? Report: 5 largest U.S. cities don’t have enough money to pay bills

The five largest cities in the United States, all led by Democrats, did not have enough money to pay their bills in 2024, according to a new Truth in Accounting report first provided to The Center Square.

Its Financial State of the Cities 2026 report examines the fiscal health of the cities of Los Angeles, Houston, Philadelphia, Chicago and New York City, with New York City again leading the U.S. with the greatest taxpayer burden.

The level of dysfunction is sort of amazing.

According to the data, New York City residents have the highest taxpayer burden of $61,700, followed by Chicagoans’ $42,600, Philadelphians’ $17,000, Houstonians’ $4,800 and Los Angeles residents’ $1,300.

At least LA and Houston are not insane. Well, Houston is bordering on insane. NYC is far past insane, they can't see insane in the rear-view mirror.

If you need money managed well, you never go over a person on the Left. Steer clear of them, because Leftists are terrible about spending public funds.

Democrats versus Christians

The Other McCain asks Why Do Democrats Hate Christians?

Make no mistake; it isn't religion they hate. It is Christianity.

This post is not going to be one of those “look-what-the-crazy-liberal-said” exercises, as enough such work has already been done on podcaster Jennifer Welch’s most recent outburst. Sure, I’ll quote what Welch said, but my point here is to explain why she said it.

And there is a bit of historical irony in their hatred of Christians.

There is a deep irony in the Democratic Party’s demonization of “white evangelical Christians” because, of course, the whole reason this phenomenon gained national attention in the first place was that, in 1976, a Georgia Baptist named Jimmy Carter ran for president and made his “born again” faith front-and-center in his campaign.

Though after Nixon and Ford (people seem to have forgotten Agnew), people were going to vote for anyone who wasn't a Republican. Which gave us, perhaps, the 3 worst President in history. Carter was the 2nd worst in my lifetime. (I can't speak to US Grant's Presidency, but from what I've read, he was awful.)

Click thru for the details.

The Democrats will say horrible things about Christians, and the current batch are actively antisemitic, but won't say anything about Islam, in in the face of crimes committed. If you're Buddhist? They love you, though that seems to have fallen out of favor with the Hollywood crowd recently. There was a time, and not that long ago, it was the fad.

Anti-ICE Conspiracy Communications Exposed

From The Other McCain - Minnesota: @camhigby Exposes Communications of Anti-ICE Conspiracy

The Saturday morning shooting of an armed anti-ICE rioter in Minneapolis triggered still more mayhem in the city despite below-zero temperatures. It has become obvious to everyone paying attention that the so-called “protests” (which are, in fact, a conspiracy to obstruct federal law enforcement) are being carefully coordinated.

Details of the coordination, from a group called MN ICE Watch, as exposed by a journalist.

It seems that MN ICE Watch has some support from local and/or state law enforcement. Click thru for those details and more.

And of course, while all of this is going on, the Minnesota fraud story has dropped out of sight. Strange. I'm sure it is just a coincidence how the timing worked out.

Anti-ICE Terrorists Face Federal Felony Charges

From The Other McCain: The St. Paul Three: Anti-ICE Terrorists Now Facing Federal Felony Charges

The rationale of this “protest” was the idea, currently prevalent among Democrats, that it is morally wrong for Republicans to win elections and therefore, when Republicans are in office, obeying the law is optional.

Democrats never say this in so many words, of course. To express their beliefs as a clear syllogism would immediately expose the invalidity of their arguments, which is why they never debate anymore.

But the basic fact remains. Breaking the law is not protest.

The Credibility of Cassidy Hutchinson as a J6 Witness

From The Other McCain we get ‘Madison Cornbread’ Update

Cassidy Hutchinson was a "star witness" before the J6 committee hearings.

Turns out the "star witness" was giving a lot of hearsay testimony.

The real purpose of Nancy Pelosi’s J6 witch-hunt committee was to demonize anyone who raised doubts about Joe Biden’s 81 million votes, essentially making it a crime to suggest Democrats stole the election.

I love that word, "sobriquet," and The Other McCain's writing style. Most people would just use the word "nickname." I hope we get more of his writing this year.

Chicago's Continuing Downward Spiral

From Chicago Contrarian we get an update of Chicago finances. Chicago Mayor’s Progressive Budget Fantasy

As I type this, Chicago still does not have a budget for the coming year, though of course that can change at any time. Mayor Brandon Johnson has been fighting for a "head tax," a tax on every employee of every business with 100 or more employees, payable every month. Even the Democratic governor of Illinois, not so affectionately known as Fatso, doesn't think it is a good idea.

The balance of the mayor’s budget will remain largely intact, including almost 20 tax and fee increases that are not tied to the taxpayers’ income bracket. This includes the regressive increase to the Cloud Tax that will increase the nation-leading 11 percent tax on computer use and services to 14 percent. This will further solidify Chicago’s standing as the highest taxed city in the highest taxed state in the nation.

Add high and increasing taxes, to high crime, and it is little wonder that people and businesses are fleeing the city. And while crime in Chicago is somewhat lower than it was during the lockdowns, or during the Summer of Love, it is still high.

Unfortunately, while many City Council members have become emboldened to tackle the mayor on single issues like his proposed property tax increase last year and this year’s Head Tax proposal, they have neither the access to the information nor the analytical expertise to undertake the needed comprehensive review of city spending despite the [Ernst & Young] road map.

So Chicago will continue on its course of financial collapse.

On the 2020 Election ...

From the Other McCain - ‘Yes, We Stole the Election. Oopsie.’

Do you believe the the democratic process?

Five years after the election — when it is too late to rectify the crime, and never mind all the injury inflicted on those branded “election deniers” for protesting this fraud — we learn the truth.

We have laws for a reason. But it is increasingly clear that the Democrats don't believe in the law. Not election law. Not the law against stealing. They want to rule the chaos, or so it seems to me.

Democrats Hypocrisy on Guns and Cops

After decades of fighting against the Second Amendment, and years of clamoring for "Defund the Police," Democrats now want to be surrounded by guns and cops. Democrats push armed security for lawmakers

As members of Congress grapple with growing personal threats, top Democrats in the US House are lobbying Republicans to let each lawmaker’s office employ an armed staff member to accompany them in their districts, as well as a law enforcement coordinator.

Of course it is all Trump's fault. Democrats have had no part in the elimination of civility in public discourse. It is all Trump. Or something.

The Next Republican Will Always Be Scarier

The story never changes, only the name changes. And another thing ... has some thoughts on The Democrats and the Media (but I repeat myselft), and their view of upcoming Republicans. The next Republican will always be 'scarier' than the last

In this world, nothing is certain except that the next Republican will always be characterized as “scarier” and more extreme than his predecessor, who was characterized in his time as “scarier” and more extreme than his predecessor, and so on.

The Left has already started in on J.D. Vance, because they can't get Trump out of office. They tried that and failed last time around. So they are starting to smear the next guy.

Former White House mouthpiece Jen Psaki warned recently that Vice President JD Vance, who will almost certainly make a play for the Oval Office in 2028, is “scarier” than President Donald Trump.

Biden's TSA Put Political Adversaries on Watch Lists

The Democrats keep calling Conservatives names, but it is the Left that is most acting like 1930s Germany. Biden's TSA accused of abusing power with watchlists targeting political dissenters

An internal investigation by the Transparent Security Administration [Transportation Security Administration - see comments] and its parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security, reported by Fox News Digital, revealed the Biden administration's efforts to target Americans "who posed no aviation security risk under the banner of political differences," according to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

If you disagreed with the Biden Administration, you were put on a no fly list. You were censored online. As Clayton Cramer says, this is Actual Fascism.
