The Fallout of Platner: Democrats’ Push for Maine and Power

Post-Platner Politics: The Democrats Fight for Wales After Shedding Their Values

Post-Platner Politics: The Democrats Fight for Wales After Shedding Their ValuesJonathan Turley – This week, Democrats are fighting to keep Maine after shedding their morals.

The controversy in Maine over Graham Platner was a modern remake of the scene from “A Man for All Seasons” in which Sir Thomas More confronts Richard Rich, a former protege who lied in court to secure his conviction in exchange for being named attorney general of Wales. As Rich passes by, More asks: “For Wales? Why, Richard, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world … but for Wales!”

For Democrats, they might not even have Wales to show for their “profit.” Continue reading

Uncovering Hidden History: How Democrats Shaped Racial Segregation in America

The Soft Bigotry of Historical Amnesia

Brian C. Joondeph – For decades, Democrats and their media allies have aggressively branded Republicans as the party of racism.

♦ Support voter ID? Racist.
♦ Oppose affirmative action? Racist.
♦ Criticize DEI programs? Racist.
♦ Advocate merit over quotas? Racist.

The accusation is so persistent that many Americans simply accept it as fact without asking a simple question:

Which political party actually built the system of racial segregation in America?

The answer is remarkably clear.

The Soft Bigotry of Historical AmnesiaJim Crow laws were Democrat initiatives. Poll taxes were enacted by Democrats. Segregation was defended by Democrat governors, mayors, sheriffs, and legislators throughout the South.

The Ku Klux Klan was founded by Democrats and operated for decades as the violent enforcement arm of Democrat political power in the post-Civil War South.

Bull Connor, the Birmingham official who unleashed police dogs and fire hoses on civil rights protesters, was a Democrat.

George Wallace, who famously declared “segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever,” was a Democrat. Continue reading

Debunking the Myth of ‘No Bad Ideas’ in Politics

Harri-esy: Why “No Bad Ideas” is a Uniquely Bad Idea

Harri-esy: Why “No Bad Ideas” is a Uniquely Bad IdeaJonathan Turley – On Thursday, former Vice President Kamala Harris posted a livestream on the “Win with Black Women” podcast to call for a “no bad idea brainstorm” for the Democratic Party. She used that pretense to “throw out there” the idea that Democrats should make radical constitutional and political changes as soon as they retake power.

That includes packing the Supreme Court, admitting Puerto Rico and D.C. as states and killing the Electoral College.

All of these items have been previously raised by liberal professors and pundits as a way to circumvent small-D democratic processes in order to guarantee power for the big-D Democrats for years to come.

It was a telling rationalization. The Democratic Party has become a party of moral and political relativism, embodied in the popular “by any means necessary” mantra used by many on the left today. Continue reading

Trump Steadies the Nation as Democrats’ Chaos Continues

Trump Stabilizes, Democrats Destabilize

Robert B. Charles – As multiple cities suffer major unrest, initiated in 2020 and now driven by mass drug trafficking, overdoses, homelessness, and illegal alien impact on infrastructure and police, facts tell a story. Trump stabilizes, Democrats destabilize.

Fact: Democrat city Portland, Oregon, has one of the highest crime rates in the nation – all directly tied to enormous drug trafficking, abuse, and homelessness.

Fact: Oregon’s state and local law enforcement, eclipsed by local Democrats, is proving unable to manage the lawlessness, trafficking, abuse, and homelessness. Continue reading

The Untold History of Democratic Violence in US Politics

Democrats Get Amnesia on Party’s History of Political Violence

Democrats Get Amnesia on Party’s History of Political ViolenceDavid Catron – Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, frauds like former president Barack Obama disingenuously claim that “we don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy.” In reality, we do know – and we know that his killing is just the latest manifestation of Democrat-induced political violence that has been a mainstay in our country since 1856.

That was the year Democrat Representative Preston Brooks attacked and nearly killed Republican Senator Charles Sumner on the floor of the U.S. Senate. Sumner—a founding member of the Republican Party—incurred the wrath of Brooks when he denounced the sack of Lawrence, Kansas, by pro-slavery Democrats who had invaded from Missouri. This was a precursor to the Civil War, which began when eleven Democrat-dominated states formed the “Confederate States of America,” elected Democrat Jefferson Davis as its President, and fired on Fort Sumter.
