“Black Democrats Fight for Political Survival”

The lede identifies the source of this political…confusion.

The Supreme Court’s decision to reinstate Alabama’s congressional map has split the political future for many Black Democratic voters.

Black Democratic voters. Not American voters favoring the Democratic Party who happen to be black.

And this:

In Montgomery, Democrats believe they still have a shot at keeping their seat….

Their seat. No. As Scott Brown nearly put it a few years ago, with all due respect, it’s not the black voters’ seat, it’s the voters’ seat. Nor is very much respect at all due the racist trope that the seat belongs to black voters exclusively.

Maybe these Progressive-Democrats should consider no longer running on their race, and instead run on their Party’s domestic, foreign, and economic policies instead. The rest of us, along with our courts (finally), have figured out that the critical opening phrases of our Declaration of Independence and the opening Article of the 14th Amendment to our Constitution really do mean what they say.

Progressive-Democrats for Child Abuse

The lede has it.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is pouring $15 million into new sex change initiatives for children and adults, framing the taxpayer-funded move as a defense against the federal government.

It’s bad enough, some of that money being spent on grown adults making their own decisions about their bodies and their lifestyles, but why are taxpayer dollars being donated to this?

It’s completely despicable, though, that one red cent is being spent to mutilate children with these procedures that are irreversible, cause severe long-term physiological and emotional damage, and are done from decisions made by children who are wholly incapable of such decisions or by adults acceding to these children’s wants.

What’s almost as bad, though, is that no one in Progressive-Democratic Party leadership, no one in Party establishment—no mainstream member at all—is speaking against this government-sponsored mutilation of badly confused children. This is what Party will inflict on all of our children if this calculated tragedy is allowed to spread beyond New York City.

The Barbarian Strikes Again

The Russians just attacked Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a thousand-year-old Orthodox Christian holy site and cultural icon in Kyiv. The hit was direct, not a nearby one for which the Lavra was merely collateral damage. The targeting was deliberate. And it was repeated, with a subsequent strike adding to the damage. This is far more than just a Russian communist attack on religion, for all that the barbarian has

confiscated church property, tortured clergy, and otherwise persecuted Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox believers[.]

It’s also more than a simple campaign of terrorism that would make the 13th century Mongols overrunning Russia blush. The modern-day barbarian appears to be starting a campaign to erase Ukrainian culture altogether.

It’s long past time Europe—and the US—stopped dilly-dallying around with half measures and stepped up support for Ukraine, arming and supplying them at the rate they need, with the weapons and materiel they need, so they can drive the barbarian back out of their nation, and do it so decisively that the barbarian will be unable to attack again for years if not generations.

The Gestating Parent Governor

New York’s Progressive-Democratic governor, Nancy Hochul, styles herself as her State’s “mom governor.” Maybe not anymore.

Under the bill that passed in Albany last week, the word mother would be replaced by “gestating parent” and father would become “non-gestating parent.”
The bill says that proceedings to establish “parentage” (the new word for paternity) can be started by “the gestating parent or alleged non-gestating parent.” The argument made for this rewrite is that current law doesn’t reflect the diversity of family life in the 21st century, which includes same-sex couples and surrogacy arrangements.

This is the Progressive-Democratic Party—the party of misogyny, now extending to ignoring what it is that makes a woman a woman—her biology. Now it’s up to Hochul: if she signs the legislation, she’ll be insulting millions of New York’s citizens while pandering to Party’s central and left wings. If she vetoes it, she’ll likely be harassed by Party for the rest of her term. If she neither signs nor vetoes, but merely allows it to become law without her signature, she’ll be showing herself a coward, afraid to take a stand.

The Problem with Platner

Graham Platner has won the Progressive-Democratic Party’s Maine primary election and has become Party’s nominee to be one of Maine’s Senators in the fall general election. That’s bad enough, but that’s not all.

Party senior leadership and middle tier politicians are enthusiastically endorsing this…person.

  • California Congressmen Adam Schiff and Ro Khanna
  • Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal
  • New York Senator and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
  • New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand
  • Hawaii Senator Brian Schatz
  • Minnesota Senator Tina Smith
  • Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren
  • Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders (socialist and Independent, but he caucuses with Party)
  • Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego

All of these support Platner and are touting him to be the next Senator from Maine, replacing the Republican incumbent, Susan Collins.

This is Graham Platner:

Platner has a Nazi symbol for a tattoo on his chest that he has only lately tried to cover over with another tattoo—a move he made only when the public began objecting to his tattoo, not because it took him nearly 20 years to figure out that it was a Nazi symbol.

Platner has a long history of abusing women, including physically, and he has been caught sexting women in the last couple of years—after he was married.

Platner holds women at least partially responsible for their own rapes.

Platner openly disparages American voters, here, Maine voters, saying in plain words that rural Mainers are racist and stupid.

Platner disdains our police, saying that all of them are bastards.

Platner, himself a military veteran, has only contempt for our military men and women. He demonstrates this with his slur of a wounded, and Purple Heart recipient, soldier, insisting that the man was dumb for having gotten shot and deserved to die.

The problem for our nation isn’t a single Senator with such obnoxious and anti-American (not just unamerican) positions.

The problem is bigger than that: those positions of Platner’s–bigotry, misogyny, hatred of police and our military personnel–are, by Party endorsement, Party’s ideology and election platform.
