This week, Gavin Newsom made his latest pitch to the mob by proclaiming himself “an established insurgent.” It was vintage Newsom in trying to be everything to everyone, part of the establishment and part of the revolution. Like a violent pacifist or a preservation arsonist, it makes no sense to anyone else. However, with the victory of radicals across the country, Newsom is trying to join other armchair revolutionaries in seeking to lead the far-left mob. He believes that he can use a class war that will spare him while destroying his enemies. Call it the Danton delusion.
In my book Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution, I discuss the French Revolution and its decline into what the Framers called a mobocracy. What became known as “The Terror” was started not by the working class, but by educated lawyers, journalists, and even aristocrats as part of the Jacobin movement. One of the central figures was a lawyer named Georges Jacques Danton, a gifted orator and writer.
Danton would become the Justice Minister and later a member of the infamous Committee of Public Safety. The more he facilitated the rage, the more he found himself captured by it. Achieving power at the head of a mob, Danton fed the bloodlust of revolution, sending thousands to the guillotine and allegedly masterminding atrocities such as the September Massacres. Danton secured power by declaring others to be dangerous reactionaries, declaring, “The bell we are about to ring . . . sounds the charge on the enemies of our country.”
Danton struggled to stay ahead of the mob by feeding victims into the grinder of a class war. Eventually, however, the mob had finished off the aristocrats, clergy, and merchants. The most radical Jacobins, led by his ally Maximilien Robespierre, then turned on their fellow Jacobins, including Danton.
Before his fall, it was dawning on Danton that there would be no end to the killings. When one supporter excitedly told him of more executions of moderates as guilty of “factionalism,” Danton remarks, “We’re all factious. If they deserve to be guillotined, we all deserve so. Those men in Paris will guillotine the entire Republic.”
And so they did. Danton himself would stand before the “national razor” on April 5, 1794.
Notably, the radicals today are also calling for purges of the Democratic Party of moderates and denouncing dissenters as “factionalism.” Yet, Newsom still hopes that he can use the mob for his own ambitions, ignoring Danton’s warning, “Woe betide those who would provoke revolutions.”
Newsom wants to be one of the red aristocrats of the new Democratic Party. By calling for radical changes to our constitutional system, he is hoping that the socialists will ignore his own wealth and privilege. The same is true for Ro Khanna, who is also offering to trash our institutions. He hopes to secure the socialist vote despite being reportedly worth roughly half a billion dollars thanks to his wife’s inheritance.
In Newsom’s case, the proletarian pitch still comes off as more French Laundry than French Revolution. He is trailing in the polls, with some showing him falling behind former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who has been promising his own radical changes to our system while campaigning with controversial figures such as Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan.
The loss of DSA candidate Francesca Hong this week will not change the calculation for Newsom. What he saw was an extremist who came within less than one percentage point of winning the nomination for Wisconsin governor. The far-left gubernatorial candidate Peggy Flanagan did win the primary handily in Minnesota. Other leaders like Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (who previously praised the violent group Antifa) celebrated the infusion of socialists into the party.
After the Hong defeat, socialist influencer and virulent anti-Semite Hasan Piker lashed out against the establishment Democrats and the media, declaring that they are trying to destroy the socialist movement and that “the knives will be out.”
Newsom believes that there is a pocket of delusional free-market Marxists who are longing for his leadership. If so, they do not live in New Hampshire, where Newsom is being trounced by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Voters can spot the real thing; AOC is authentically bananas. That is better than a Newsom banana split that is part establishment and part insurgency.
As Harris and Buttigieg make their own plays for the radical wing, Newsom will likely need to find another institution to offer up other than the Supreme Court. Packing the Supreme Court has become the mere starting ante in the game. Radicals are looking for bona fides of true believers with some calling for the scrapping of the Constitution entirely.
Newsom — “the established insurgent” — is desperately trying to be the next leader rather than the next trophy of the mob. History is not on their side. Well-coiffed hair and a hip podcast are not likely to be enough to keep the mob at bay. From New York to Colorado, the far left is taking establishment heads. In the end, Danton yielded one last time to feed the desire of the mob. When he was finally taken to the guillotine, Danton told the executioner, “Show the people my head. It is well worth seeing.”

That’s a great line, so kudos to whoever came up with it!
AOC may be a phony – being from a cushy suburb and attending private school while pretending to grow up in the school of hard knocks – but in a way she also embodies a split. Maybe split pea soup, as she is more media savvy than any other Dem politician out there, while at the same time having a pea brain on substance . . . as painfully illustrated when she was asked about Taiwan at an international conference recently.
Why are you MAGA morons obsessing about Newsom and AOC???
Mark Kelly will be our next President.
Highly decorated fighter pilot who flew 39 combat missions.
Astronaut who commanded the Space Shuttle.
Distinguished Flying Cross awarded twice with the “Combat V” for valor for heroism in combat.
Air Medal awarded 4 times for meritorious achievement, twice with the “Combat V” for valor in combat.
Navy Commendation Medal awarded twice for sustained acts of heroism or meritorious service, with one featuring the Combat “V”.
Defense Superior Service Medal awarded twice by the Secretary of Defense for superior meritorious service in a position of significant responsibility.
Legion of Merit awarded for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services and achievements.
He will win in a landslide.
The GOP has no one who could stand up against him.
Mark Kelly has been a vocal supporter against the antisemitism projected by the left. He supported legislative measures to stop it.
If he runs in a post-Trump era, which will be a stronger driver for Democrat protests? Latent anti-Trumpism or antisemitism?
Yes – the Left has been vocal about shutting down Jewish Temples and Synagogues and keeping Jews from getting jobs in America. That’s sarcasm, by the way.
You must have confused the murder cult of the Israel Zionists for Judaism.
Democrats are becoming more dissatisfied with making Israel #1 when it comes to American resources. If Mark Kelly sees Israel as more important than the US that will be a problem.
cult of the Israel Zionists
That’s right, anyone who thinks the Jews deserve to have self-determination on their ancestral homeland is a cult member. The Arabs should have 22 nations in the Middle East, but the Jews should have zero . . . not even a tiny strip of desert with no oil to speak of. It should all go to the Arabs because Jews don’t deserve a homeland. Nobody has ever given Jews a reason to think they need one. It’s not as if Jews have been persecuted throughout history or anything. It’s not as if 6,000,000 of them were murdered in Europe in the 1940s or anything. It’s not as if there were centuries of pogroms before that or anything.
That was sarcasm, by the way.
“Democrats are becoming more dissatisfied with making Israel #1 when it comes to American resources.”
I see you address 5% of the foreign aid, rather than 95%. But that 5% is spent directly on U.S. defense contractors, so the money is looped back to the U.S. Israel, in real battle scenarios, uses that military equipment and improves it, so if the US gets into a war with China or Russia, American offense and defense are better than they would have been. No other recipient of such American dollars provides so much for so little.
Additionally, Israel projects U.S. regional power without U.S. boots on the ground. Some call Israel the largest US “aircraft carrier” without American troops. Compare that to Germany, where our base expenses are far higher, and the cost of those bases is not included in foreign aid. That Israeli “aircraft carrier” attaches no financial penalty to the U.S. like the expensive bases in the Middle East and Germany, which, unlike the “aircraft carrier,” leave American troops vulnerable.
Furthermore, those base costs are many multiples, and we have troops on the ground at the rest of the American bases throughout the Middle East that cost far more and, as we saw, leave American troops vulnerable.
ANON MORON!
ANON MORON
Sorry but he is a leftist woke anti-gun POS.
Riiiiight… chances of Mark Kelly being elected president are about the same probability as when he can grow a full head of hair!
You can always remove him. You have the law on your side (hint: he doesn’t), you have the 2nd Amendment militia (hint: you don’t as required to guarantee a commie phony never grabs power) and TURD you have fallen for the bread & circus act your leaders know all too well when you TRUST them.
The biggest problem with citing the ultimate resolution of the Danton Delusion as justice served is that it didn’t happen until after massive mindless destruction and tens of thousands of wanton murders had occurred. Is that how our version is going to play out – karma to be visited on the heads of rotten scoundrels like Gruesome and Ho Konman only after we allow them to destroy our nation, confiscate all of the wealth of those who sustain it, and imprison or execute anyone who tries to interfere?
Canadians Hate U.S. Ambassador
More than 60,000 Canadians are backing an effort to remove U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra from the country, accusing him of undermining relations between the neighboring countries and interfering in Canadian politics.
The online petition calls on Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to declare Hoekstra “persona non grata” and seeks his removal as President Trump’s ambassador to Canada.
Hoekstra, a former Republican congressman from Michigan and a longtime Trump ally, has repeatedly found himself at the center of tensions between the U.S. and Canada.
In June, he said Trump and Carney should have a “great discussion” about Canada becoming the 51st state after Trump repeatedly floated bringing Canada into the U.S.
In March, Trump referred to Carney as the “future governor of Canada,” reviving a jab he previously used against former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/6025482-petition-remove-us-ambassador-hoekstra/
……………………………………
When was the last time Canadians drew up a petition to oust the U.S. Ambassador? And why does Trump keep antagonizing Canada??
All this is happening because of MAGA’s mob mentality. The very stupidest Americans support a president who works very hard at alienating allies.
Trump Tries Grabbing Greenland’s Oil
Greenland authorities have forced a US oil company connected to Donald Trump to postpone drilling wells in the Arctic territory, defying claims by the US president’s envoy that Americans could be extracting crude by next year.
Amid Trump’s imperialist threats, tensions have been rising on Greenland’s eastern coast after the oil company brought drilling equipment ashore in July without permission, drawing a “strong warning” from the government.
Just week before Greenland Energy intended to sink its first wells into the tundra, the government said on Thursday: “The necessary regulatory process cannot be completed, and the necessary approvals cannot therefore be obtained before the planned start of drilling.”
It said that during talks Greenlandic officials had expressed concern that the timetable was too tight to assess the environmental and social impact.

Trump tried to pull a fast one here. Like, “Hey, I’m just gonna steal your oil and you won’t even notice.”
Brazil And U.S. Dispute Ambassadors
The Trump administration has revoked the visa of Brazil’s top diplomat in the United States, according to a senior U.S. official, deepening a diplomatic rift between the Western Hemisphere’s two largest nations.
The visa of the Brazilian ambassador, Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti, was canceled in response to her country’s decision to stall the approval of President Trump’s newly appointed ambassador to Brazil and refuse entry recently to several other U.S. diplomats, said a senior State Department official. The official spoke anonymously to discuss a sensitive diplomatic matter.
In March, Brazil revoked the visa of a senior Trump envoy after learning that he planned to visit Jair Bolsonaro, the former president convicted of plotting a coup after losing the last election, and meet his son, Flávio Bolsonaro, who is running for president this fall.

…………………………………….
That last paragraph tells us what this is really about. Trump expects to meddle in Brazil’s upcoming election. And it’s no secret Trump sides with Flavio Bolsonaro.
America doesn’t need Greenland’s permission.
Uh oh, I guess PRESIDENT Trump should hire Hunter Biden and pay him millions to get there and negotiate a deal with them. Afterall, Hunter’s vast and knowledgeable understanding of the oil and gas industry prevents anything from falling between the cracks… Hunter can really paint the picture for them on how it’s in their best interest, maybe his Dad will be sitting next to him.
Old news. The embassy was in tatters 15 years ago. The ambassador caught the first 🛸 out. 😏
If Newsom ends up the nominee, the GOP will have a field day with him. Forget his lizard-like looks and smarmy speech. Those are a net wash, as they will turn some off and appeal to some. But all the GOP will have to do is point to what he did to California, and ask if America wants to be f—ked over in the same way on the national level.

And there is this too, Ex-Clinton ally rips media for downplaying Dem ‘civil war,’ calls MS NOW viewers ‘basically illiterate and uninformed’

His assessment of the Democrat party is pretty brutal. And he is not the only Democrat who is saying it.
Of course, it’s $200 billion over-budget and going nowhere fast.
Can’t read MAGA-purchased Turley slop, but skimmed enough to get the gist–Democrats are radicals, Democrats are stupid, they lie. Turley literally attacks every prominent Democrat, especially those who might run for president. It would be funny if it weren’t so hypocritical. Turley has decried Democrats like Mamdani as “socialists” because they want to use the assets of government to help people–like helping families afford child care costs, making housing more affordable and state-subsidized grocery stores in NYC, where food costs are higher. Republicans use scare tactic words like “communist” and “socialist”, but are all in for government handouts and incentives to big business and bail-outs for large corporations–of course, these government handouts and incentives all fall under the definition of “socialism” because they are at odds with the concept of a free market where the business comes up with the start-up costs, assumes the risk of loss and absorbs the loss if the business fails.
The difference between what Democrats advocate and what Republicans advocate is who the beneficiaries are. In the case of Republicans, it’s the oligarchs, the billionaire class, the real estate investors. In the case of Democrats, it’s working families trying to purchase a home, pay for child care and afford groceries. When government helps families to be able to purchase homes, the big real-estate investors and investment trusts lose out on enormous profits for high rent. Real estate investors are driving up cost of existing homes beyond the reach of first-time home buyers. The average first-time home buyer is in their forties–the oldest in recent history. It’s one reason why if you own real estate, they pay people to dog you day and night, wanting to buy your house in any condition–they will let you walk away without even moving your stuff or doing any repairs. They want to hog as much of the real estate inventory as possible before they get shut down. So, the oligarchs pay MAGA media to spin help for child care, home buying and grocery costs as “communism” or “socialism” and pay pundits like Turley to attack Democrats as radicals. The attacks are not working, especially with younger voters.
Here is what a moderate Democrat and ex-Clinton ally is saying about the Democrat party,
“But you see the most racist ethno-supremacist movement on the planet, which is the Iranian Axis, which includes Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, that don’t want peace, that have one goal, which is the redemption of a seventh-century caliphate. And the way to achieve that is through the slaughtering, the massacre of Jews first, and then the slaughtering or forced conversion of Christians after that. It is the closest thing to a modern-day Hitler. And the Democratic Party is aligning with that.”
You said, “In the case of Democrats, it’s working families trying to purchase a home, pay for child care and afford groceries.”
That might of been true twenty years ago. Not anymore. The Democrat party is getting taken over by socialist/communists/Marxis.
Bill Maher has been pointing that out for years of the stupid and crazy the Democrat party has embraced. And now he is pointing out the socialist/communists/Marxis DSA, and has said his vote is in play and would consider voting Republican if the Democrat party keeps aligned with the DSA.
Long time Democrat, James Carvill said he would leave the party if Hasan Piker becomes a major voice in the Democrat party.
Read the room. There is a significant difference between the good professor, Maher, Carville, and Julian Epstein and what the DSA is. It is none of their fault the direction the Democrat party is going. They ALL want their party to get back to their traditional roots. But here we have, as the good professor points out, Harris, Buttigieg and Newsome are all trying to get on the DSA crazy train.
As Julian Epstein points out within the Democrat party, “We are in a civil war now.”
UF – good points all around. The modern Dem party is careening into extremist territory and is become more socially destructive by the day. The marriage between socialism/communism and Islamo-fascism is a marriage of convenience, and is temporary. Wherever it rises to power, the Islamists ultimately crush the communists. That’s exactly what happened in Iran in the late 70s and early 80s. That is a pattern that must necessarily repeat anywhere in the world this marriage of convenience takes place, given the fundamental beliefs of the Islamo-fascists.
OldManFromKS,
Well said.
The problem is there are some Democrats whom cannot seem to recognize this very dangerous threat within the Democrat party. For some reason, they continue to ignore the warnings from people like Bill Maher, James Carvill, Julian Epstein and the good professor and just blindly claim it is all MAGA media.
It is not.
As I have stated before, establishment Democrats think they can ride the DSA tiger and tame it, but it appears the tiger is going to devour them. Seems many Democrats are so consumed by their TDS they refuse to see the danger.
But then again, as Julian Epstein puts it,
“If you rely on [MS NOW] for news, I think you’re basically illiterate and uninformed about what’s going on, Epstein told Fox News Digital. “It’s less true for CNN, but also true.”
oldmanfromkanasa – it’s a good thing the US Supreme Court is knocking down restrictions on gun owners right and left. Imagine 80 Million extremist leftists gearing up and looking for those with Trump stickers on their trucks or MAGA caps on their heads. At first they look like any conservative, open carrying a gun with a 100 round magazine, and the next thing, it’s time for excitement. Since leftists don’t have jobs and conservatives do, it will be easy pickens to wait in the lot and take them down as they head home, exhausted from a hard day’s labor.
Maher at least is acting from principle. I don’t agree with all of his, but its comforting to see that they exist. On the other hand, I am convinced that Carville wouldn’t know a principle if one bit a 5 pound chunk out of his left butt cheek. He is only defecting because he thinks the DSA will lose elections. Should they prove to be able to win, that slimeball will leap back onto their deck in a heartbeat.
Bill Maher and I see eye-to-eye on somethings, but not others. I especially think he’s been a bit naive about the Democrats over the past 30-years. They’re no longer the party of the working-class and middle-class American.
But at least he will call out the more radical Democrats. Something the more ‘moderate’ (what few of them are left) Democrats won’t do.
Over the past 30 years the hard working Americans have been told by the Republicans that Republicans will get America back to when a high school education could get a house, a wife, several children and a new car every few years. They don’t realize that the Republicans are fronts for the oligarch who are siphoning the wealth from them to build super yachts and buy factories in China to put them in the poorhouse.
You MAGAs can try to comfort yourselves by claiming that Democrats are crazy, out of touch, far-left–and– what are the words you are using–“socialist, Marxists and communists”–but, it’s not working. Socialism is fine with MAGAs if government is used to help the wealthy stay wealthy and get wealthier, but not if it helps young families afford child care, to make health care affordable or help first-time home buyers. Trump has kicked millions off of Obamacare and his stupid and anti-science claim that vaccines cause autism–disproven by dozens of studies over the course of several years. His demand to cut down on childhood immunizations will require more doctor or clinic visits and time off work, co-pays and deductibles for those who are insured, maybe no insurance coverage, and probably skipped doses for those who are not insured. Between doses, children will be vulnerable to communicable diseases. Trump lied, of course, by claiming that in Europe children receive far fewer immunization doses, and his lies and anti-science stupidity will cause deaths and illnesses.
People are fed up with the Trump oligarch class–which, just like its leader, does everything possible to use government to benefit itself and line its pockets. They are fine with soaking working people to pay more than their fair share of the tax burden, to have the government pay incentives and give massive tax breaks for businesses, bail them out when they fail, and, in Trump’s case, sell worthless crypto to suckers only to have the oligarchs get out early and make a killing. Trump awarded government contracts to his worthless children who are invested in the defense industry–when we have a war of choice with no end in sight. The fossil fuel industry that made large donations to Trump’s campaign have been given offshore leases over the objections of environmentalists. We taxpayers will get stuck paying for the cleanup and damage, which, due to relaxation of environmental regulations, is all but inevitable.
A few outliers do NOT speak for the Democratic Party, but MAGA media tries to say that they do because they know that Republicans are poised to lose the midterms. So, if you can’t win, try to pre-rig the election by trying to stop mail voting, purging voting rolls, make it more difficult for college students to vote by removing polling places on campuses, try to limit early voting, gerrymander away black and minority districts and intimidate voters by sending troops to the polls. The second front MAGAs are using is to attack Democrats with big words like “socialist, Marxists and communists”. The Democrat Party is NOT “going” in any radical direction, and citing a few outliers does not establish that it is.
Just keep bashing the so called oligarchs. If Steve Jobs gets hit with a super tax on billionaires he will sell stock to get the cash he needs to pay the tax. When he dumps that stock what happens to your 401k or 403 b. WAKE UP.
The point you make is sound. However, using Steve Jobs as an example of an oligarch who will have to sell stock to pay a new tax is unfortunate.
He has been dead for 15 years.
They will tax the dead trust me, they stole $13M from our family.
I thought Steve Jobs was pushing daisies…
Carvill has been mentally ill for a long time. He gets trotted out for his extreme views to excite a gullible audience, people such as UpstateFarmer.
Speaking of Epstein – where are the files with the names of the perpetrators unredacted?
I’ll take “What does Carville have in common with GiGi” for $200 Alex…
Excellent!
“If you rely on [MS NOW] for news, I think you’re basically illiterate and uninformed about what’s going on, Epstein told Fox News Digital. “It’s less true for CNN, but also true.”
Gigi, get used to seeing that quote. I bookmarked it and will be repeating to you whenever you make your MAGA, TDS filled comments. You are the epitome of the “. . . illiterate and uninformed about what’s going on . . .” he is talking about.
How marvelous!
What allows you to name me “Gigi”?
The fact that you are incapable of responding to my posts with facts or counter arguments proves that you know what I wrote is correct.
You are the one who relies on MAGA media for the misinformation and disinformation you spew. MAGA media was set up by oligarchs to defend Trump because they know he is unethical, stupid, messes up everything he touches, but will do whatever campaign donors want.
They love the tax cuts, rollbacks of environmental and consumer protections, government subsidies and bailouts— which is socialism, just like farm subsidies are. And they attack Democrats as “communists, Marxists and socialists” for proposing help for child care, first time home buyers and health care subsidies. Government help for middle class and lower income people is bad, but not for the corporations and wealthy.
One goal of MAGA media is to attack mainstream media because it accurately reports on the corruption of Trump, his family and his administration and their utter incompetence and lack of integrity. Trump made $2 Billion in 2025 mainly from his crypto scam, in which the oligarchs also got rich while the little guys got screwed.
Another marching order is to attack Democrats. A third is to do everything possible to get Republicans elected and to defend MAGA efforts to deny the will of the people by gerrymandering, making it more difficult to vote, trying to eliminate or curtail mail voting, adding seats in red states, and getting Republicans elected in state positions where they can try to rig the vote counting and disqualify voters.
You can call me all the names you want, but you obviously aren’t able to counter the facts.
A great many things benefit the so called oligarchs. Unfortunately, at this point upper middle class professionals will be absolutely nailed by the taxes needed to support all these really super good cool leftist ideas.
One provision of the “super good cool leftist” agenda is for the oligarchs to lose some of their tax breaks and to pay proportionally a fairer share of the tax burden — in line with what the rest of us pay proportionally to our income. That’s really what is driving all the fearmongering and attacks against Democrats.
Why do you think that Trump wants amnesty for IRS audits and prosecution? How many millions or billions do you suppose he and his company owe our government?
Psssst you do know Biden skated on millions of back taxes right?
He blanket pardoned his son for his tax evasion(s).
Just thinking about it, Trump can grant himself and his family pardons from prosecution for any crimes committed during his tenure.
Upper middle class professionals aren’t billionaires, so they won’t be “nailed by the taxes.”
Be aware that the increase in the valuation in the stock market is inflation, not increased value. That inflation is because Trump is spending money that the Treasury is just printing, lowering the value of everything and that is nailing the upper middle class, the middle class, and the lower class.
Then the taxes will spread down to the working class and we will all be miserable except those not working and the filthy rich who taken their money and left.
The working class already pays proportionally more in taxes than the oligarchs. “Trickle down economics” is a myth. The wealthy spend their excess wealth on luxury goods, vacations, jewelry and clothing.
If I recall correctly, the “Oligarchs “ pay 90% of the federal tax revenues with the next 10% coming from those that make over $100k/year. That group pays a lions share of the remaining 10%. I remember looking that up while surviving no job for 3 years during the Obama era after Bush and the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac crash.
At least he’s not aligning himself with terroirsts, mental patients, grifters, racists and hacks… Because that’s the modern Democrat party.
You’re the ones who support Hamas, Hezzbolah and the Houthies among many.
You’re the ones who pretend people can choose their sex.
You’re the ones that launder tens of billions through NGOs that do nothing while covering for all the government-program fraudsters for votes.
You’re the ones who think Blacks are too stupid to do anything and need a white savior to accomplish simple things like get an ID.
You’re the ones who have destroyed education in most of the Blue States. WHen I was a kid, CA was top-5, now they’re worse than Mississippi!!!!
There are plenty of Republicans and Republican programs that need criticism. But compared to the Democrats, they’re Angels.
Washington State used to be in the top 5 for business friendliness, now it’s number 46, in the bottom 5, after 20 years of liberal rule. Seattle voters elected a socialist as mayor, now the city is going to pot as so many employers leave and office vacancy rates skyrocket, while homelessness and open-air drug dealing become rampant.
So what? Is Washington state suffering from a lack of businesses? Do they need more exploitation?
Every accusation you made against Democrats is a lie. Trump is the poster boy for grifting.
No one is choosing their sex. They look at themselves and don’t like what they see – they are born with that perception. Same as Musk getting hair plugs and adolescent males getting breast reduction surgery and women getting facelifts and hair coloring. Humans look at themselves and have some internal sense of what they should look like. For many people it’s minor, like hair cuts and clothing. For some it is more intensive, but it’s not a random choice.
Blacks aren’t too stupid. Many don’t have access to the physical materials required because those records were lost by the hospitals or cities they were born in. Others are unable to make the pilgrimage to the one office that is open from 1 -1:30 on alternate Tuesdays. Their employer may tell them that taking time off means taking all the time off – don’t come back, so they would lose their job.
A constant for conservatives is lack of compassion. Having compassion would mean understanding that they didn’t earn where they lucked into being born
Oligarchs help pay Turley’s bills. This might be the source of the bias.
This is all ridiculous.
Communism is unconstitutional.
Where is the Supreme Court?
– Congress can’t tax for Social Security, Medicare, and the rest of the charity and largesse of the welfare state.
– Private property is unqualified and absolute and entails the right to claim and exercise dominion over the property, including the authority to set rents and prices, determine wages and terms of employment, hire and terminate employees, direct the use of the property, and exercise every other incident of ownership and control.
Newsome has admitted to be unable to read because of his dyslexia, so it is not surprising that he can’t read and understand the difference between the mob and the establishment. He likely has mural dyslexia, that dyslexia subset where one is unable to read the writing on the wall.
W could use a few Charlotte Cordays now. Just sayin’.
He is trailing in the polls, with some showing him falling behind former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who has been promising his own radical changes to our system while campaigning with controversial figures such as Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan.
Buttigieg took paternity leave while Secretary of Transportation at the peak of a supply-chain crisis beginning in mid-August 2021, returning in October. During that period, U.S. ports had massive congestion, shipping container shortages sent ocean freight costs to record highs, and widespread labor and truck driver shortages delayed the movement of goods.
Abdulraham Mohammed El-Sayed made sure to take out a “Sharia-compliant” home mortgage when he bought a condo in Ann Arbor. Michigan imams pointed to El-Sayed, urging congregants to cast their ballots for “a legitimate Islamic objective.”

I guess El-Sayed’s handshake with Bill Clinton was Shariah-compliant because Clinton had used his left hand to hold the cigar he inserted into Monica.
LOL that’s funny. I don’t care who you are that’s funny.
Buttigieg is now a longshoreman? Takes a day off and the ports fall apart?
I thought conservatives felt that government should allow business to sort things out for themselves, but I guess oldmanfromkansas is more of a central planning kind of guy.
Silly comment from anony-moron. The usual leftist strawman argument that if conservatives believe in small government, they must believe in no government at all. That conservatives want millions of taxpayer dollars to go to the Department of Transportation to do exactly nothing. Come back when you get a few functioning brain cells.
Plus, maybe read for comprehension next time. I described a fact. That’s all I did. You notably did not deny that fact. Then you constructed your entire brain-dead strawman argument based on something I never said.
If I were as low-IQ as you, I’d also comment anonymously, just as you do.
oldmanfromkansas makes an implication and then has to run away from the backlash.
Weak, very weak.
What does oldmanfromkansas expect the DoT to do when there is an industry execution problem? The money that goes to the DoT ensures the facilities that tax money goes to are kept up to reasonable standards and that vehicles are built to reasonable standards and that their operators are up to reasonable standards. None of that has to do with truck shortages. What they aren’t there to do is to meddle in the free market which you implied that Buttigieg should have done with your hayseed approach to politics.
Here’s what a good faith commenter would have said: I agree it was a bad look to accept a high-level position as secretary of transportation and then take paternity leave at a critical moment. However, could you please say what you think Buttigieg could have done if he had stayed on instead of taking paternity leave?
That would have led to a discussion on substance. Instead, the moronic sniveling little troll leads with a stupid, braid-dead strawman insult and expects a substantive response. GFY, a’h0le.
OldManFromKS,
That kind of response and discussion would require a degree of thoughtfulness and critical thinking. Something the annony is NOT know for.
oldman
Is this an example of the “good faith” comment of which you speak??
Do you expect a “substantive response” to this comment??
Anon starting at 1:15 (not me) made reasonable, if slightly facetious comments, but you immediately flew off the handle with an insulting tirade of abuse and insults.
Apparently you have a very short fuse and an inability to conduct yourself in an appropriate manner when you receive even the slightest criticism.
It was a non-substantive response, with a transparent straw man. It was not “reasonable” and it *was* typical of the anony-moron troll who junks up this comment section and makes it more difficult to have substantive discussion.
Plus, the idiot thinks everyone is Estovir. It wasn’t just this one. It is a pattern that is destructive of discourse. Every time a conservative makes a comment, the anonymous Estovir-solpsism sufferer jerk comes in with one of those silly childish comment turds that stink the whole place up. It’s a pattern. Which is why he/she/it comments anonymously. Their purpose is destruction, not discussion.
OldManFromKS,
Well said.
We all see whom have substantive discussions.
The real Estovir, OLLY and I had some very interesting discussions yesterday.
The annony’s, not so much.
To return to the premise of what could of Buttigieg done?
Honestly, not much.
The whole country was in “lockdown” except essential businesses, like fast food, alcohol stores, big box stores, while small businesses were forced closed.
The whole world followed this lockdown.
But, for his entire tenure, I cannot think of anything Buttigieg really did. It seemed he just left it up to the flunkies who have been there for years. Kinda like Garland.
To return to the premise of what could of Buttigieg done? Honestly, not much. The whole country was in “lockdown”
You may be right. But then the lockdown was the government’s fault, and so it makes no sense to suggest a small-government conservative is being inconsistent. Conservatives would have preferred no lockdowns, masking of kids, vaccine fascism, and the like. Florida and Sweden did wonderfully by refraining from the draconian measures. Newsom was so wacky that he mandated churches close as non-essential but liquor stores remain open as essential (as you pointed out). A pastor sued him for that and won.
for his entire tenure, I cannot think of anything Buttigieg really did
Same. The one memorable thing is taking paternity leave at the height of a supply chain crisis. Perhaps that was the point. His taking paternity leave was making a political point about gender equality. It is one example of how, with the left, the political narrative matters more than results on the ground.
Estovir, your Old Man character is never consistent. He sounds like ‘you’ more often than not.
No.
ButtGauge calls for “men along the shore” to help offload his cargo.
If you know what I mean.
I’m old enough to recall-and deeply miss -the national conventions where the candidates for President/Vice President were actually chosen, not anointed. When the party establishments picked those running for office, they seemed to have at least some semblance of reasonable candidates. One did need to keep the system running. Change it where necessary, but maintain it.
That ended when it became fashionable for “the people” to pick the candidates-sometime in the late 60s or early 70s when “power to the people” was a drive. Given the low turnouts of most primaries, this inevitably led to the most ideologically driven doing the choosing. Excuse the phrase: the lunatic fringe is too often choosing the candidates. They have NO interest in refining the system, just demolishing it.
Sounds like you are a Democrat. Republicans still honor the vote in primaries.
The smoke filled back rooms where the kings were crowned. That’s how things actually worked. Trading favors for votes.
“An unhappy species of the population…who, during the calm of regular government, are sunk below the level of men; but who, in the tempestuous scenes of civil violence, may emerge into the human character.”
The quote is James Madison’s as provided in Turley’s book. It pretty much describes Newsom and his ilk.

Define a woman 🤣
So true. Scientific studies have shown that they are 80% dummber on the 28th of every month. AmIRite? Probably all the vaccines they take….
Scientific studies? The ones that Trump payed for?
Giving political office? Giving? Pal, get a gun and shoot yourself in the head. Now!
So true. Babies! That’s the ticket. Lots and lots of good old American babies! Not the Indian version of JD Vancegandhi.
Nepobaby Newsom is epitome of Democrat party royalty, and Greasy Gavin has a long way to go to remake himself as some sort of outsider. It will be comical to watch the contortions by lifelong Democrat politicians like Newsom and Buttigieg and Harris and Ocasio-Cortez remaking themselves as outsiders and insurgents.
Great post today, Professor. One is wise to be wary of factionalism within parties that result in the purging of any who may be seen as possessing a dissenting voice. How then, do you reckon President Trump’s consistent purging of faithful and loyal Republicans – see Mike Pence, Pam Bondi, John Cornyn, Bill Cassidy, Jeff Flake, Marjorie Taylor Green, Tucker Carlson, Thom Tillis, etc, etc?
They followed their own agendas, Trump did nothing to them, they did it to themselves. That’s politics.
I mean, Trump literally endorsed opponents to Cornyn and Cassidy instead of supporting them. So that IS actually something he did to them. And he threatened MTG and told her to drop the Epstein stuff. So that IS actually something he did to her. I think you’re absolutely right about the others though – good point!
They opposed his agenda, he’s President. He was elected by a majority based upon his agenda, the agenda of the Republican Party. Trump knew Epstein was a tar baby rabbit hole same as Russia Russia. He has no time for feckless distractions, the agenda is paramount. If you have a team divided, you shed the nay sayers and replace them with yes sayers.
It is about delivering on the promises made to American Citizens!
Well said 8-ball. Dissention can NOT be tolerated. There is no longer room for discourse or diversity of opinion. Only weak leaders suffer alternative viewpoints. I don’t even think they should call themselves the Republican Party anymore. This is something newer, something braver.
There is always room for different opinions in the lead up and discussion, however when it is time to support and vote for an agenda Bill, you are either IN or you are OUT.
Don’t try to spin it into something it’s not. This is how it works and we’re seeing who and where the weaklings are as this moves forward. The politicians are empowered by their constituents, unfortunately to do the better good for the country sometimes may mean they screw over some of their constituents wishes.
To your point, I think Vance has been awfully wishy-washy on some things. I don’t know if we can trust him. The way he went on the View and pandered to those simpering fools? The ways he’s been leaking anti-war stuff to the press? Thoughts?
” Trump knew Epstein was a tar baby rabbit hole” Are you simply a fan of Uncle Remus or is this your standard speech?
I agree. Both tar baby and briar patch analogies are inapt. Maybe rathole is more like it.
As to what Trump “knew”, he threw some chum for short-term advantage and it’s still a bloody mess.
Yes it is, You do know what a tar baby is don’t you and I loved Uncle Remus, quite the classic! Liked Aunt Jemima’s pancakes and Uncle Bens rice too! How about you?
I thought I’d check to see what AI says about tar baby:
🧭 Why “tar baby” is considered racist today
Even though some people use it to mean “a sticky problem that gets worse the more you touch it,” the term’s origin is inseparable from:
19th‑century Uncle Remus stories, written by Joel Chandler Harris
A body of folklore built on racist caricatures of Black people
A literary tradition that romanticized plantation life and used dialect to stereotype enslaved African Americans
Because the “tar baby” appears in that context — and because the stories were used to reinforce racist tropes — the term carries racial baggage, even when used metaphorically.
🧭 Modern perception
In contemporary journalism, politics, and corporate communication:
It is widely avoided
It is flagged as racially insensitive
It has caused public controversies when used by politicians or executives
Editors often recommend replacing it with a neutral metaphor
Even when someone intends the “sticky problem” meaning, the racial connotation is still present for many readers.
Don’t care how anyone finds it, it’s free speech.
If something is known to be racist and you choose to do/say it anyway. You deserve all the repercussions from expressing your “right” to free speech. You should run for political office using your free speech (might be a plus in some areas). Why stop at tar baby? Express yourself.
LOL
Known to be racially insensitive by who, a bunch of Woke Democrats?
Do you find the term White privilege racially insensitive, I find it quite offensive.
As you are fully aware, my use of the term Tar baby above had zero racial connotations to it, yet here you are playing race based acceptable word usage games.
I have zero aspirations for public office and do I look like a fish cause I have no interest in your bait.
Have a wonderful day.
“As you are fully aware, my use of the term Tar baby above had zero racial connotations to it, yet here you are playing race based acceptable word usage games.”
You are officially a poster child for white privilege. A term isn’t unoffensive because you decide it isn’t. Racial connotations are a question of common usage and understanding. We’ve gotten past the point of you didn’t know, you just don’t care. You are what you are.
Enigma, your tone reveals a clear double standard. I agree that using ‘tar baby’ can be in bad taste given its history, but that is not necessarily so if there is no intent. However, people like you use ‘white privilege’ with a sense of glee specifically to silence others and dismiss their individual life struggles.
It seems that what benefits your position is not offensive, and when it doesn’t benefit, it is offensive. Your sensitivity is political and has little to do with good taste. Grouping people by skin color to erase their personal history and override their individual humanity does not stop racism. It promotes it.
Enigma you are engaging in semantic shifting, or semantic change, but you are not as smart as you think you are. MOST persons using the term are NOT implying anything racial, and your attempt to reach back is even funnier since it did not even carry that meaning in the old Uncle Remus tale. In fact, here is the Plot summary in Uncle Remus’s story. Notice that it has NOTHING to do with race.
from Wikipedia:.
“…Br’er Fox, who constructs a doll out of a lump of pine tar and dresses it with some clothe .When Br’er Rabbit comes along he addresses the tar ‘baby’ amiably but receives no response. Br’er Rabbit becomes offended by what he perceives as the tar baby’s lack of manners, punches it and, in doing so, becomes stuck. The more Br’er Rabbit punches and kicks the tar baby out of rage, the worse he gets stuck.
“In Joel Chandler Harris’s popular retelling of the tar baby story, the fox then saunters over and gloats, laughing uproariously, and invites the rabbit to his house to ‘take dinner’ with him…the tale continues in Harris’s story, ‘How Mr. Rabbit was Too Sharp for Mr. Fox’ …The helpless but cunning Br’er Rabbit pleads, ‘Do anything you want with me – roas’ me, hang me, skin me, drown me – but please, Br’er Fox, don’t fling me in dat brier-patch’, prompting the sadistic Br’er Fox to do exactly that…However, as rabbits are at home in thickets like the brier-patch, the resourceful Br’er Rabbit escapes.”
Enigma would find racism in a bowl of Cheerios…

It’s ebonics fra duh ol country, bro! Hattnin’!
They were all the best people until they disagreed with Trump. Then they became scum. For Trump there is no middle, no moderate. Either genuflecting before Trump or they go into the trash pit.
Not picking Pence as VP is now considered “purging” him?
Good point – perhaps not? I just really liked the man – saw him as incredibly decent, good devout Christian, good communicator. I saw his not being asked to serve a second term as purging him, but maybe that’s my over-interpretation.
I saw Pence as a sanctimonious stuffed shirt with a Sharia mortgage: https://www.factcheck.org/2018/09/partisan-site-revives-old-pence-controversy/
(That has a link to the WaPo story.)
INTERESTING!!!! I’m trying to remember who pushed Pence on Trump back then?!?!?
And JD Vance is not making Americans; he’s making Indians.
Now that’s a patriot if ever there was one!
Pence was disloyal to Trump and refused to throw the electoral votes out and allow falsified slates of electors to be used.
Of course Trump would want Pence out of the picture.
When people say that Newsome won’t be the nominee because he is a terrible candidate, he ruined CA, his policies are daft and his delivery is quite off-putting for a man declared to be “good looking”, I always reply by asking who will win if not him. When I point out Kamala they say no, Mayor Pete, no. AOC, no. Pritzker, no. Khanna, no. Somebody has to win it and it will probably be Newsome by default.
If you don’t buy my premise above please ask yourself if you thought Biden would get the nomination in the summer of 2019? It was laughable and yet….
My bet is on AOC. I would love to see a Cortez-Rubio presidential debate.
Me too, comedy hour. She should show up with a bucket of Spic and Span to dip her head in as Rubio mops the floor with her!
YES – Lil’ Marco is such a formidable force! Remember when he wrote a letter to Biden asking him to invest MORE in USAID because he recognized the return on investment of generating soft-power globally, but then flip-flopped and said USAID was evil as soon as daddy Trump told him so. God I love to see such strength.
Maybe he was presented the financial facts subsequent Trump and DOGE on how much money the Democrats were grifting off the plate? That opened a lot of eyes as does $40 Trillion dollars in debt.
The facts are unclear, and you could be drawing unwarranted conclusions. He voted against some large bills that contained money for USAID, and the political landscape has changed.
In 2012, he wrote:
“In every region of the world, we should always search for ways to use U.S. aid and humanitarian assistance to strengthen our influence, the effectiveness of our leadership, and the service of our interests and ideals,”
When he took office as Secretary of State, he said:
“Every dollar we spend, every program we fund, every policy we pursue must be justified by the answer to one of three questions: Does it make America safer? Does it make America stronger? Or does it make America more prosperous?”
Those statements are very similar. Therefore, I think you are blowing smoke, even though the answer isn’t totally clear.
You don’t think it will be Vance?
No, I don’t. I think Rubio has paid his dues and carried alot of water wearing various hats. He’s Cuban, he’s seen Communists and hates them as much as I do. He’s well vetted and well connected, I like Vance but Rubio is far better suited and experienced.
8 ball
Where exactly did Rubio “see communists” ??
On the streets of Miami perhaps ??
He has never set foot in Cuba.
He was born in Miami in 1971, before his parents became citizens.
He gained US citizenship through the 14th Amendment’s birthright citizenship clause.
If Trump and your fellow MAGA mobsters had their way he would not be a citizen, and therefore ineligible for the Presidency.
The majority of Cuban Americans in Miami are first and second generation descendants of Cubans that escaped Castro. I recall Rubio talking about his family in this regard. If a dictator confiscated your wealth, your property and brutally persecuted your family, you would hate them.
You should go take your medicine.
Rubio’s parents left Cuba in 1956, 3 years before the revolution.
His parents have no personal experience of communism in Cuba.
His family was not persecuted. They lost no property or wealth to the communists.
Marco Rubio’s knowledge of communism in Cuba no different from yours.
If you “recall” Rubio talking about his family escaping from from Castro and losing their wealth and property, then you are hallucinating, or Rubio is lying.
Take your pick.
Perhaps you have been skipping your antipsychotic medicine.
Here is the Left’s stunted mentality:
“[Rubio’s] parents have no *personal experience* of communism in Cuba.” (emphasis added)
On that anti-intellectual premise, you have to have “personal experience” of murder to conclude that murder is destructive. And “personal experience” of cancer to conclude that you don’t want to experience cancer. And “personal experience” of slavery to conclude that slavery is evil . . .
Keep looking in the friends and family’s section.
Are you saying that the Castro regime has not inflicted death, imprisonment suffering and persecution upon the Cuban population. Why would the Rubio’s leave before the collapse of their country?
If you’re too stupid to connect the suffering inflicted on the majority of Cubans to Cuban Americans, ask yourself what would it take for you to get in an inner tube and try to float across 90 miles of the shark infested Florida Straits in search for freedom? That alone would be enough for Marco Rubio to despise communism and its lies.
“Why would the Rubio’s leave before the collapse of their country?”
They left because Cuba had collapsed, under the thumb of the dictator Batista. Cuba merely replaced one dictator with another (Castro).
OldManFromKS,
Do we really think there would be a debate? As we have seen in past elections, Democrats either avoid debates, or try to control the settings to their advantage.
AZ governor Hobbs would not debate her Republican challenger. Would not even be on the same stage as Lake.
We have also seen how some of the news outlets hosting debates are clearly biased for Democrats.
You must hate Rubio as much as I do.
HullBobby,
What does the DNC/Newsome have to run on? Or Harris? They do not seem to have a platform other than “We are not Trump!” or “We hate Trump!” or “We will do the opposite of everything Trumps says or does!”
That is NOT a platform.
They embraced the stupid and crazy before hand. Now that it seems the even more stupid and even more crazy DSA (gotta admit, at least the DSA HAS a platform, even if it is socialist/communist/anti-American) is gaining popularity, Newsome, Harris, AOC, et al. are jumping on that crazy train (que Ozzy) thinking there is light at the end of the tunnel not realizing just past the tunnel is a cliff.
What do any of them really have to point to as their qualifications or success? Newsome drove CA into a failed state, perhaps even third world status in some cases. Harris? AOC? Mayor Pete?
Hate Trump is all they got. Probably why they are trying to run on hate and rage.
“They embraced the stupid and crazy before …” Trump eh?
That was me. Hit the reply button too fast.
Ron DeSantis, Tucker Carlson, Glenn Youngkin?
Of all those you mentioned, Pritzker seems the most credible because he at least has executive experience and won’t be beholden to billionaires.
How many of us know of these simple adages: learn history or you are bound to repeat it, there is nothing new under the sun, great empires are not conquered from without until they have destroyed themselves from within, The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing etc. etc. etc. ?
Yet we still have a considerable number of numbskulls who will attempt, yet again, a revolution to go where no man has gone before and create that elusive utopia? Wankers like newsome are our modern day snake oil salesmen assuring the crowd that what they are selling will cure everything for just a small cost.
Are we not tired of these charlatans who muster the ill-educated, non-educated, indoctrinated, or mentally challenged to, once again, follow that piper.
The solution doesn’t lie with the ever-present huckster (they are always with us) but with the mob. Controlling the mob is the key and our media/education industry has been pumping out millions into this mob for decades and therein lies our biggest challenge.
If Oblamo had a white son, his name would be Gavin…
Man will never fly. Man will never step on the Moon. Man will never stop smallpox.
It’s billionaires pumping millions into people like Turley and Fox News, buying media to pump out lies so that the middle class and lower class will be servants to the oligarchs. You might recognize this as somewhere people have gone before.
