WaPo’s Assessment of Potential 2028 Dem Field Reads Like a Program for a Sad Circus

We have a lot of fun mocking the hopefuls for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination these days. Hey, train wrecks are fascinating in so many ways. There will be plenty of time to worry about one of them actually winning when 2028 gets here, but for now, let’s just have at the spectacle of stupidity they have over there. 

While we content ourselves with effortless mockery, the Democrats’ flying monkeys in the mainstream media have to pretend that their best hopes for regaining the White House aren’t merely a bunch of Stalin knockoff goofballs. 

Good luck with that. 

The Washington Post frequently takes a look at the Democratic field and assesses the viability of each potential candidate at that time. Sports fans call it a power rankings. I’ll give you the first four paragraphs of the latest WaPo look at the Dems just to set the tone:

The Democratic field for president is still wide open and unsettled. The very early list includes former presidential candidates, governors, senators, House members and celebrities. While no one on this list has officially declared, some candidates have been more open than others about wanting to run.

Ahead of November’s midterm elections, the field is starting to take shape as a major debate roils the party: Is the surging progressive movement helping or hurting Democrats’ chances to take back the White House in two years?

Some Democrats argue it’s time to embrace bold, progressive policies to boost their party’s popularity among working-class voters. Others think centrists will stand out.

“I think Democratic voters are going to get incredibly pragmatic when it comes to 2028,” said John Anzalone, who served as the chief pollster for President Joe Biden’s winning 2020 campaign.

The MSMers are still fleshing out how they want to deal with the commie insurgents. Some are so freaked out that I’ve actually seen hints of journalism from them. I’ll probably write something about that next week. The author of this article has opted for — I love using this word regarding leftists — whitewashing the mess with the “surging progressive movement.” It’s the set-up for her mention of “centrists” in the next paragraph. 

There are no centrists in the Democratic Party, not even relative to the Democratic Socialists of America. Also, as I’ve been writing all summer, the only real difference between the establishment Dems and the DSA upstarts is the average age of the people claiming to be one or the other. What WaPo is trying to do here is make it seem as if there has been some sort of Dem course correction by asserting that there are objective ideological differences in a party that hasn’t allowed them since Lyndon Johnson was a young racist.

Sharia Senator: In 2009, Abdul El-Sayed Declared He Will Follow Sharia in ‘Everything’ He Does Until the Day He Dies

If Michigan Democrats want to bring Sharia to the United States Senate, they’ve got the candidate to do it.

The winner of last week’s Democratic primary, Abdul El-Sayed, declared in a New York Times interview in 2009 that he had a lifelong “obligation” to live by the strict Islamic code that most Americans associate with the most repressive regimes of the Middle East.

And now he’s trying to become a lawmaker in the United States.

The article in the “newspaper of record” was publicized in a report published Tuesday by the Washington Free Beacon.

The New York Times report didn’t dwell on the aspects of Sharia that stand out the most to normal people — like Afghanistan’s Taliban and the terror group’s restrictions on women and liberties Westerners take for granted.

It was, instead, a thumb-sucking look at community banking, of all things, and the Ann Arbor-based University Bank’s “Islamically approvable ‘mortgage-alternative’ financing for residential and commercial real estate in 15 states.”

Transgender ‘experts’ just made an earth-shattering admission in court

Democrats, activist groups, and medical associations have long cited the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s Standards of Care as the ultimate authority on a scientific “consensus” for sex-rejecting procedures, but WPATH just made an admission in court that threatens to undermine that exalted authority.

The Federal Trade Commission and four state attorneys general sued WPATH in June, alleging that the association engaged in deceptive practices by promoting “gender-affirming care” that causes harm to patients, particularly minors who cannot provide informed consent. Late last month, WPATH urged the court to dismiss the lawsuit, claiming that the government was retaliating because it disagreed with the association’s protected speech.

The association defended its Standards of Care as “opinion” protected by the First Amendment on subjects considering “medical and scientific uncertainty” in a debate with more than one reasonable position. The group also cited a Supreme Court ruling that upheld state laws forbidding “gender-affirming care“—a decision WPATH itself has loudly condemned in the past.

OOPS! Jen Psaki Makes a Horrible Admission About the Democrat Party’s Nominating Process on the Air

Jen Psaki admitted something horrible about the Democrat Party on MSNOW last night, during their coverage of the Wisconsin Democrat primary for governor.

Psaki came right out and admitted that the leaders of the Democrat Party typically choose the party’s nominees, not the voters.

Everyone knows this is true. Obviously, no one voted to make Kamala Harris the 2024 Democrat presidential nominee, but you don’t expect to hear someone like Psaki admit this on the air.

From the Vigilant Fox:

Jen Psaki admits on MSNBC that Democratic Party leadership used to “SELECT” the nominees, and nobody was allowed to say it out loud until now.

PSAKI: “We both remember well when party leadership really selected the nominees.”

“Now, you would never say it that way exactly, but they would. Now we can [say it]. We’re free!”

“They really did, because they would put money behind it. They would endorse. And now it looks very much like party leaders are not picking the nominees.”

“In fact, party leaders pushing nominees is a negative.”

The party that claimed to represent “democracy” never trusted its own voters to pick their nominees.

BUSTED: Turns Out Group Called ‘Republicans for Talarico’ Was a Completely FAKE SCAM

The Gateway Pundit recently reported on a group of supposedly ‘Republican Moms’ who claimed they were crossing over to vote for far left Texas senate candidate James Talarico. It looked very suspect.

Now we are learning that a group called ‘Republicans for Talarico’ is a completely fake scam.

Who could have predicted such a thing?

The Daily Wire reports:

‘Republicans For Talarico’ Exposed As Complete Scam

Leftist outlet MS NOW aired a segment featuring three Texas women who identified themselves as Republicans and vowed to cross over for James Talarico — but records show at least some of them have voted in Democratic primaries and donated to liberal candidates and causes.

Talarico, who has sparked backlash for his fringe views on Christianity, affection for transgender children, and disdain for the American flag, is banking on Republican crossover support to become the first Texas Democrat elected statewide in decades.

“Republicans for Talarico is as real as the six genders that Talarico claims exist, but has yet to explain what they are. This lame rebrand of White Dudes for Kamala is full of lifelong Democrat donors, activists, and other losers,” RNC spokesman Zach Kraft said in a statement to The Daily Wire.

That “rebrand” was put on display earlier this month when MS NOW aired a segment from the political show “Long Play,” featuring three white women from Tarrant County who portrayed themselves as disgruntled conservatives eager to vote for one of the most liberal candidates in Texas to run for federal office. The exchange went viral after Talarico’s campaign seized on the segment, dubbing the women “Republican Moms.”

During the segment, former school board candidate Mindy McClure described herself as a “moderate Republican,” but as the saying goes, follow the money. Federal Election Commission filings show McClure has repeatedly given through ActBlue to Democratic candidates and anti-Trump groups dating back to 2018, including the Lincoln Project and Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign.

Polls promoted by the liberal media continue to show Talarico ahead in this race, despite the fact that he is an absolute train wreck of a candidate.

The polling for Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, which showed him winning by double digits was completely wrong. Same goes for Francesca Hong in Wisconsin.

It’s almost like the media and the pollsters are trying to influence races in favor of the far left. Almost.

Democrat Agriculture Secretary Nominee Says Farming ‘Isn’t That Hard,’ Farmers Work ‘Only a Few Weeks’ a Year

Democrat Chris Jones, who is running for Iowa secretary of agriculture, was rebuked by Iowa Republicans after saying farmers are “wealthy,” grain farming is “not that hard,” and farmers are “only working a few weeks out of the year.”

The remarks were highlighted Tuesday by Iowa Field Report, which posted video from a 2021 interview Jones gave at the Iowa Ideas Conference, hosted by the Cedar Rapids Gazette.

“And a lot of this grain farming now, it’s not that hard. They’re only working a few weeks out of the year,” Jones said.

“These farmers might be industrious and they might be ingenious and you know all these other adjectives you want to say about it, but the truth is, you know, a lot of them are millionaires,” Jones continued. “They’re really wealthy guys. They’re making three times as much as the average Iowan, and a lot of this grain farming now-it’s not that hard. They’re only working a few weeks out of the year.”

Iowa Field Report said that earlier in the same interview, Jones claimed Iowa farmers are all “wealthy, older white guys.”

Incumbent Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig, whom Jones is seeking to unseat, denounced the remarks.

ANOTHER DEMOCRAT BALLOT SCANDAL: Former NJ Mayor Gina LaPlaca and Husband Hit With New Criminal Charges for Forging Signatures to Fraudulently Get on Democratic Primary Ballot

They can’t win without CHEATING! The modern Democrat Party is completely LAWLESS.

Former Lumberton Township Mayor and current Committeewoman Gina LaPlaca, along with her husband, Democratic operative Jason Carty, are facing a new round of criminal charges after prosecutors say they submitted fraudulent signatures to place LaPlaca on the June Democratic primary ballot for the Lumberton Township Committee.

Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw’s office announced the charges this week. An investigation found that multiple people whose names and purported signatures appeared on LaPlaca’s nominating petition never signed it and never authorized anyone to sign on their behalf. Without those fake signatures, LaPlaca would not have had enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot at all.

LaPlaca, 47, signed a sworn affidavit claiming she had “personally circulated the petition” and that every signature was in the voter’s own handwriting. Investigators determined her husband Carty, 49, also collected signatures. The petition was submitted to the Lumberton Township Municipal Clerk by Carty.

The charges:

  • LaPlaca faces fourth-degree making a false statement under oath, third-degree knowingly filing a false petition, two counts of third-degree tampering with public records or information, and fourth-degree falsifying or tampering with records.
  • Carty faces third-degree knowingly filing a false petition, two counts of third-degree tampering with public records or information, and fourth-degree falsifying or tampering with records.

Both are scheduled to appear in Superior Court in Mount Holly on September 21.

Official Burlington County results show LaPlaca finishing dead last in the three-candidate race for two committee seats. She received just 323 votes, or 13.03 percent.

Two Leftist Fantasies That Collide With Reality

Many want to live with fantasies that contradict facts as their reality.

But facts can’t be ignored, and we are not required to accept their fantasies as our truth and reality.

Here are two such fantasies: that a man can become a woman or vice versa, and that Marxism is good for citizens of the country.

Let us examine biology and medical science facts to disprove the first fantasy.

Sex chromosomes are packages of DNA found inside most of our approximately 30 trillion cells that have a nucleus. There are two different kinds of these chromosomes, X and Y. When an egg is fertilized, the egg itself always contributes an X chromosome, while sperm can contribute either an X or a Y. Sex chromosomes are the genetic elements that define a person’s biological sex. Females have XX and males have XY chromosomes. Chromosomes themselves are made up of proteins and DNA that carry our genetic information from cell to cell. In addition to biological gender and the resulting reproductive systems, they determine other physical traits, e.g., eye color.

The reproductive systems of men and women are distinctly different. The male reproductive system mostly exists outside of the body. The external organs include the penis, scrotum and testicles. Internal organs include the vas deferens, prostate and urethra. The male reproductive system is responsible for sexual function and urination. The female reproductive system is a group of organs that enable reproduction, pregnancy, and childbirth. It also produces female sex hormones, including estrogen and progesterone. The system consists of organs and tissues inside the body and some that are visible outside the body.

Medically, it is not possible to transplant reproductive systems into the opposite sex. Drugs and mutilating surgeries change a person’s appearance, but do not change the biological gender.

To dispel a related fantasy, women are physically weaker than men because of a combination of factors rooted in this biology. Women have: less total muscle mass, different muscle fiber profiles, lower testosterone levels, higher essential body fat, and smaller, lighter bones. These differences are significant. In upper body tasks, women produce roughly 56% of the force men do; in the lower body, that figure rises to about 72%. The average gap is real, measurable, and driven by physiology that diverges sharply at puberty.

So, factual biology shows it is impossible for women to successfully compete against the strength of men in physical tasks and sports.

Wacky Marxist Francesca Hong LOSES Wisconsin Dem Gubernatorial Primary to Establishment Opponent in Shocking Upset Following Suspicious Late-Night Ballot Drop

The dim-witted, holiday-hating communist who had emerged as one of new ‘stars’ of the Democratic Party has lost her primary in a stunning upset to a largely unknown establishment opponent following a late drop and chaos in Wisconsin’s largest city.

As CNN reported, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley narrowly defeated 37-year-old state assemblywoman Francesca Hong, who almost everyone assumed was going face Wisconsin GOP nominee Tom Tiffany in the general election.

The latest results show Crowley holding roughly a three thousand vote lead, less than half a percentage of the vote.

Crowley was backed by the entire Democratic establishment, including outgoing Wisconsin governor Tony Evers, who feared a hong nomination would mean a disastrous defeat in November.

Just hours before the race was called, the city of Milwaukee announced that 5 of the 9 USBs were ‘missing’ election results and results would be delayed.

This affected roughly 15,000 absentee ballots.

Notorious Wisconsin Election Official At Center Of Zuckbucks Scandal Resigns

Green Bay City Clerk Celestine Jeffreys’ reign of incompetence and law-breaking has come to an end. 

Jeffreys, who began her notorious tenure during Green Bay’s scandalous handling of the 2020 election, stepped down late last week amid an investigation into her latest election administration mess. 

But there remain several “conveniently” unanswered questions for Green Bay’s leftist leadership, according to the Brown County GOP. 

‘It’s Long Overdue’

Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich released a statement on Friday announcing that “Ms. Jeffreys has made the decision to step down from her role as City Clerk.”

“We wish her the best in her future endeavors,” the mayor’s office said. 

That’s it. A two-sentence goodbye, followed by notice that the announcement will be “the City’s only statement on the matter.”

Jeffreys’ ignominious resignation comes a month after the city placed the embattled clerk on administrative leave for sending an unspecified number of absentee ballots to voters in several Green Bay wards — in advance of Wisconsin’s August primary. The election is scheduled for Tuesday. Jeffreys’ office described the mistake as a “printing error.”

As The Federalist reported last month, the bungling clerk’s latest miscue occurred less than three months after the office issued duplicate absentee ballots “in at least 152 instances” before the city’s spring elections, according to a complaint filed by the Republican Party of Wisconsin and Brown County GOP board member Theresa Sipes. 

The Wisconsin Elections Commission has launched yet another investigation into the city clerk’s office, finding probable cause that Jeffreys’ latest ballot mishap broke Wisconsin elections law. City officials later this month are expected to deliver a presentation on their investigation into the clerk’s office to the leftist-led Green Bay City Council, which has countenanced Jeffreys’ incompetence for years. 

Doug Reich, chairman of the Republican Party of Brown County, told The Federalist last month that two absentee ballot debacles in the span of a few months is “not an ‘oops.’” And Jeffreys leaving mid-investigation isn’t accountability. 

“[I]t’s the bare minimum, and it’s long overdue,” Reich wrote on the county GOP’s Facebook page.

“Two elections. Two rounds of duplicate absentee ballots. A state investigation. And the best the city could produce, even after all that, was a two-sentence statement with no explanation and no apology to the voters affected,” the chairman added. 

‘Gross Incompetence Or Something Worse’

Reich said Green Bay officials have yet to clarify how many voters received absentee ballots for Tuesday’s primary election. He noted that Jeffreys personally printed the spring election ballot labels, and she did it again in June. 

“And her April report to the WEC left that out entirely, which is its own problem,” the GOP official wrote. “What has the city offered as proof? An unsworn letter from its own attorney. No records. No affidavit. Nothing Jeffreys has put her name to under oath. That’s not transparency, it’s damage control.”

Nicholas Boerke, Sipes’ legal counsel, has asked the Wisconsin Elections Commission to find that the city has failed to comply with the election regulator’s July 31 order demanding Green Bay officials explain how Jeffreys’ “printer error” happened — again. 

“As I have said all along, this is either gross incompetence or something worse and the difference matters,” Boerke wrote in his letter to the commission. “An unsworn letter from a city lawyer, with no records, no affidavit, and nothing the (former) Clerk will stand behind under oath, is not accountability. More is necessary.”

The attorney said the WEC has the authority to subpoena records and take testimony under oath. 

Here’s another important question: Who is running the city clerk’s office? As Reich wrote, Green Bay’s deputy clerk has been left holding the bag, running day-to-day operations, including preparing for Tuesday’s primary, “while the city drags its feet on a permanent replacement.”
