BOOM! The swamp is draining in Louisiana!

In a stunning and thoroughly deserved defeat, establishment RINO Sen. Bill Cassidy has been crushed in Saturday’s GOP Senate primary, finishing a humiliating third place and getting booted from the race entirely.

Trump-backed Rep. Julia Letlow and State Treasurer John Fleming have advanced to the June 27 runoff, delivering a massive win for President Donald Trump’s America First agenda and his ongoing revenge tour against disloyal Republicans who betrayed him.

Cassidy, the three-term incumbent who voted to convict President Trump during the sham January 6 impeachment circus, has finally been held accountable by Louisiana patriots.

As The Gateway Pundit reported just days ago in our explosive piece, “DRAIN THE SWAMP: Trump Calls on Louisiana Patriots to OUST RINO Bill Cassidy – Endorses Julia Letlow in Critical Saturday Primary!”, President Trump personally rallied voters to reject this RINO and back a true fighter in Julia Letlow.

Trump called Letlow a “TOTAL WINNER,” a “Great Star,” and a proven America First champion who will deliver for Louisiana on the economy, border security, energy dominance, and protecting the Second Amendment. He urged every Republican in the state to VOTE OUT Cassidy once and for all.

And they listened.

IT’S OFFICIAL

Incumbent Senator Bill Cassidy has been DEFEATED after coming in 3rd place.

Politico reported:

It’s a remarkable result: Cassidy is the first senator of either party to lose in a primary since 2012. The two-term senator and chair of the powerful Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee failed to even make the runoff, finishing with roughly a quarter of the vote.

Both Letlow and Fleming benefited from MAGA voters’ frustrations with Cassidy for his 2021 vote to convict Trump on impeachment charges related to the Jan. 6 insurrection, and for his skepticism of Trump’s decision to nominate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health and Human Services secretary.

Since its premiere in the 1970s, Saturday Night Live has always leaned liberal. The very earliest episodes featured Chevy Chase trying to make Republican President Gerald Ford look like an idiot.

In recent years however, it has reached levels of political bias that are more absurd than the skits on the show. In 2016, they basically did a funeral for Hillary Clinton’s campaign after she lost, and when Obama left office in 2017, cast members actually sang songs of praise to him.

They ignored Biden’s cognitive decline until Democrats and the media decided that they needed to force him out of the race, and they make fun of Trump and Republicans constantly.

Somehow, all of this escaped the media. Until now.

This is from the Daily Mail:

Saturday Night Live’s breathtaking bias against conservatives revealed by stunning new analysis that shows just how easy they go on liberals

A new analysis examining Saturday Night Live’s partisan jokes has revealed that the sketch comedy series overwhelmingly pokes fun at conservatives.

A study conducted by NewsBusters, a conservative media research center, provided to the New York Post concluded that 91 percent of jokes during the show’s ‘Weekend Update’ segment targeted conservatives.

Weekend Update is a mockumentary news show hosted by comedians Michael Che and Colin Jost, where they take jabs at the week’s significant news stories.

NewsBusters found that the season’s first 19 shows included 226 political jokes, with only 18 targeting Democrats and liberals, while three were nonpartisan. Of those political jokes, 101 of them were aimed at Donald Trump.

One of Che’s jokes appeared to make fun of assassination attempts on the president. ‘President Trump attended the opening night of ‘Chicago’ at the Kennedy Center, and I think that’s cool that the president is going to the theater. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen,’ he said, referring to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination at a theater.

Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F Kennedy Jr was the second-most targeted figure, with 14 jokes at his expense.

Former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was third with 12 jokes, conservative pundit Tucker Carlson was fourth with 11 jokes and disgraced Representative George Santos was fifth with 10 jokes, according to the study.

More from the New York Post:

During its April 4 broadcast, SNL notoriously mused about the possibility of Trump being assassinated.

Che sickly crowbarred the “joke” into a bit about the president attending a performance at the recently renamed Trump Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.

“President Trump attended the opening night of ‘Chicago’ at the Kennedy Center, and I think that’s cool that the president is going to the theater. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen?” said Che, referring to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

Che then flashed a grin as the audience responded with an over-the-top guffaw.

Saturday Night Live is no longer a comedy show. It’s a super PAC for the Democrat Party.

Their anti-Republican bias is on display during every single show and it has completely degraded the entertainment value. Like late night shows, they took something that used to be for the enjoyment of the whole country and turned it into a soapbox for the far left.

This has not been a good week for the Democrats.

Following the decision by the Virginia Supreme Court to strike down the attempt by Virginia Democrats to redraw the congressional map in their favor, they appealed to the United States Supreme Court, which was ironic considering they have been calling the Supreme Court illegitimate for months now.

Everyone knew that the Supreme Court was not going to override the Virginia Supreme Court, especially on a state-related issue and to no one’s surprise, SCOTUS declined to even hear the case.

The best part was that the SCOTUS decision had no dissents, meaning that it was a unanimous decision. Liberal Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson did not even side with the Virginia Democrats.

And yet, Minority House Leader Hakeem Jeffries published a tweet today, criticizing the SCOTUS justices as right wing extremists. Look:

The American people will decide who controls Congress in November.

Not far-right extremists on the Supreme Court.

Send them all a powerful message that enough is enough.

— Hakeem Jeffries (@RepJeffries) May 16, 2026

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is a right wing extremist? Really?

What part of ‘no dissents’ does Hakeem Jeffries not understand?

From NBC News:

The Supreme Court on Friday turned away a long-shot effort by Virginia Democrats to revive a new, voter-approved congressional map they wanted to use in this year’s midterm elections.

The brief decision with no dissents leaves in place a ruling by the Virginia Supreme Court that found legal flaws in the process leading up to the referendum.

The legal fight had fizzled in recent days, with Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger saying Wednesday that the deadline to use a new map in Virginia had expired anyway.

Jeffries looks ridiculous here.

Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson rejected Virginia Dems’ appeal as well … they’re far-right?

Hakeem.

You just embarrassed yourself and your party.
You should apologize and resign. https://t.co/jHzphoLNtI

Had the Supreme Court decided differently for some reason, Democrat would be hailing the decision as final, but because it didn’t go their way, they will now go back to denouncing the court as illegitimate. They’re so predictable.

President Donald Trump has threatened to back a primary challenger against Rep. Lauren Boebert over her support for Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie.

Despite Trump’s fervent opposition to Massie, Boebert has supported his primary campaign for re-election.

Below is my friend Thomas Massie. He loves America and is fighting to save it.

Also below is my friend and President, Donald Trump. He’s put his life on the line to save this great country.

I support both of these men. I’ve worked with both to preserve freedom and liberty.… pic.twitter.com/i1lkTfO9V4

— Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) May 15, 2026

Posting on Truth Social, Trump described Boebert as a “carpetbagger” and said he could withdraw support from her:

Is anyone interested in running against Weak Minded Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s Fourth Congressional District? You remember Lauren moved to the District when it became obvious that she couldn’t win in her original Congressional District (The Third!) — A Carpetbagger, indeed!

Boebert is campaigning for the Worst “Republican” Congressman in the History of our Country, Thomas Massie, of the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, and anybody who can be that dumb deserves a good Primary fight!

Even though I long ago endorsed Boebert, if the right person came along, it would be my Honor to withdraw that Endorsement, and endorse a good and proper alternative.

In another post, Trump also slammed Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and described Massie as a “sanctimonious fool”:

Word is that Rand Paul and Lauren Boebert, two very difficult, and highly unreasonable, Republican Votes, are right now in the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, which I won by 31 points, parading around like fools for the Worst “Republican” Congressman in the History of our Party!

His name is Thomas Massie, and he is a disloyal, ungracious, and sanctimonious FOOL, who almost never votes for even the best of Republican Values. The man running against Massie, Ed Gallrein, is a true American Patriot, a Farmer from Kentucky, and a Military Hero.

He is loyal, and MAGA all the way — VOTE FOR ED GALLREIN, AND WIPE AWAY THE STENCH OF ONE OF THE WORST CONGRESSMEN IN THE HISTORY OF OUR GREAT PARTY, THOMAS MASSIE. MAY WE NEVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH HIM AGAIN!

Victor Davis Hanson was on “The Ingraham Angle” on Friday to talk about President Donald Trump’s strength in dealing with China and Xi Jinping

Hanson explained that the US is dominant in economics, energy, and AI, giving President Trump significant negotiating power.

Fox News Reported:

President Donald Trump holds “all the cards” in negotiations with Beijing, according to Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson.

Hanson argued Friday that America’s energy dominance, economy and artificial intelligence growth allow Trump to negotiate from a position of strength.

“All the data show that the cards are in Donald Trump’s hands,” Hanson said on “The Ingraham Angle.” “He can be [as] magnanimous as he wants, but he has all the cards in his hand, and they don’t have any.”

“Hanson also pointed to factors like China’s declining birth rate, its massive dependence on foreign oil and the United States’ success in keeping Beijing’s influence out of the Western Hemisphere as clear indicators that Trump has the upper hand.” Fox News Reported.

“Victor, your reaction to that? Trump never likes to tell anyone what he is gonna do until he actually does it,” Ingraham asked.

“All the data show that the cards are in Donald Trump’s hands. The United States GDP is a third of the world. I mean, four Chinese produce 60 percent of what one American does in terms of GDP,” Hanson said.

“We are exporting oil. Laura, they are importing 10 million barrels a day, and they are desperate for it. Trump has shut them out of the Western hemisphere, whether it is Panama or Venezuela,” Hanson explained.

“Whatever happens in Iran, China is not gonna be a player, and if it is a player, it’s gonna be with the permission of the United States,” Hanson continued.

“Their fertility is 1.0. They are shrinking and aging. So, they have got fundamental, existential problems,” Hanson said.

“We on terms of AI and GDP and oil and natural gas, we are booming in foreign investment, and they know it,” Hanson explained.

Hanson explained that threats to the US over the years faded away. He cited examples, including the Soviet Union and the EU.

“They all faded because they don’t have our Constitutional system, Federalism, personal freedom, market capitalism,” Hanson said of previous threats to the US.
