The modern progressive movement is an existential plague driven by immense psychological rot.

Leftists are consumed by an intoxicating blend of pride and arrogance, believing their Ivy League credentials grant them the right to re-engineer human nature. - Bill Brindley

This vanity blinds them to historical reality.

Throughout history, from the Jacobin terror of the French Revolution to the starved landscapes of Bolshevik Russia, the intellectual elite has always paved the path to tyranny.
Today, these low-IQ progressive ghouls look down upon God-fearing, hardworking patriots with supreme condescension.
They suffer from a profound delusion of moral superiority, yet every single policy they touch collapses into immediate ruin.
They possess an absolute deficit of wisdom, replacing empirical truth with trendy academic theories designed to destabilize Western civilization.

Leftism is simply codified envy.

The entire Democrat platform relies on mobilizing the base passions of jealousy and resentment against productive citizens.

'We have some debt we'd like to take care of': Powell out, Warsh in as new Federal Reserve chair * WorldNetDaily * by Morgan Sweeney, The Center Square:

(The Center Square) – Kevin Warsh, an economist and former member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, is now chair of the central bank, replacing longtime chair, Jerome Powell.

Warsh was sworn in at the White House Friday with a large crowd in attendance after completing the confirmation process.

The Map Is the Message - How the 2030 Census, a Collapsed Legal Firewall, and the Death of the Obama Coalition Are Building a Republican Structural Lock on American Political Power

What I am interested in is describing, as accurately as I can, the structural trajectory of American political power over the next decade, - Clayton Wood
...because I believe that trajectory is now moving faster and in more durable directions than most political commentary acknowledges.

The argument I am making is not that Democrats will never win again.
The argument is that the threshold for Democratic victory in a presidential election and in the fight for the House of Representatives is about to become, for structural reasons largely outside either party's short-term control, very close to impossible in any ordinary political environment.

That conclusion rests on four interlocking developments, each of which I have written about separately. What I have not done until now is lay them together in sequence and show what the compounding of all four produces...

When progs rule!

The media narrative is that Trump's iron grip on the GOP is why so many R incumbents have lost. That's incorrect.

Many GOP voters have long desired to vote out Rs who run as conservatives but then don't fight for conservative values. - Bill Brindley
But the establishment GOP has long controlled the money and organization, allowing RINOs to often fool just enough primary voters.

What Trump, @TPAction and others have done is help R voters understanding who the RINOs are.
That's why so many incumbents have lost.

Enough of the GOP base finally knows who governs like a conservative and who only talks like one in the three months leading up to a primary.

Next Congress will for sure not have:

Jasmine Crockett

Dan Crenshaw

Eric Swalwell

Mitch McConnell

Nancy Pelosi

Don Bacon

I’m happy about all of it.

To call that “very limited” on national TV, while treating a single afternoon at the Capitol as the gravest threat in the republic’s history, isn’t analysis.

'EXCELLENT!' Trump sends immigrants back to home countries to apply for green cards * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

'EXCELLENT!' Trump sends immigrants back to home countries to apply for green cards * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:

Zach Kahler, a spokesman for the USCIS said, "From now on, an alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply, except in extraordinary circumstances. This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes. When aliens apply from their home country, it reduces the need to find and remove those who decide to slip into the shadows and remain in the U.S. illegally after being denied residency." Meanwhile, the report said, the State Department has halted immigrant visa processing in 75 different countries.

She is not going to live this one down!

My reply to a Truther friend who now says MAGA has died and Trump has betrayed everything on Epstein, COVID and war.

“it’s really disappointing to see you talking such bullshit. - Daniel Jupp

Epstein-they released the files.

They can only release what they actually had, and that’s been a huge amount.

Over 2,000 videos, 180,000 images and 3.5 million pages.

Have you looked at all of it?
Has anyone who is complaining?
They can’t release things that are really horrific-unless you expect the WH to post a child porn collection to the public?
They can’t release things that reveal information that could harm victims (hence redactions).

So the demand for zero redactions is insane....
