The Democratic Party’s Identity Crisis is Far Worse Than Most of the Media is Reporting
March 24, 2025

Ever since the 2024 election, the Democrats have been embroiled in a crisis. They have no message, no leader, and no strategy. As we have seen in recent weeks, all they have to offer the American people at the moment is rage and protests.

Some people in media have acknowledged that the Democrats have a problem, but it’s far worse than anyone is admitting.

Axios is a liberal media outlet, but they have published a piece that highlights how bad things are.

Here are some highlights:

The big picture: Democrats’ dismal reality is not Republican spin. In fact, there’s broad consensus among Democratic leaders that most current political, cultural, media and generational trends are cutting against them.

– “Democrats are losing working-class voters,” Klein, co-author with Derek Thompson of the new liberal blueprint “Abundance,” said last week. “They’re seeing their margins among nonwhite voters erode and vanish. They’re losing young voters. Something is wrong in the Democratic Party.”…

By the numbers: A deep, comprehensive poll by Democratic pollster David Shor of Blue Rose Research captured vividly and empirically the daunting data…

Shor estimates a 23-point swing against Democrats among immigrants. The swing is very pronounced among Hispanics who consider themselves conservatives: Democratic support dropped by 50%.

– But it’s the rise of conservatism among young people, mainly men, that spooks him most. “[Y]oung voters — regardless of race and gender — have become more Republican,” Shor writes in his 33-slide presentation.

The thing he’s been most shocked by over the last four years, Shor told Klein: “[Y]oung people have gone from being the most progressive generation since the Baby Boomers, and maybe even in some ways more so, to becoming potentially the most conservative generation that we’ve experienced maybe in 50 to 60 years.”

Everything the Democrats are doing is just making their problems worse. They’re not offering ideas, alternatives, or solutions. They have nothing left but blind rage.

The situation at Columbia University is still completely crazy.

Despite the fact that university leaders gave in to Trump’s demands for reform at the far left school, some radical faculty members are still egging on the student protesters.

These people are going to end up costing Columbia hundreds of millions in federal funding if they don’t knock it off.

FOX News reports:

Columbia faculty hold ’emergency vigil,’ urge students to wear mask, skip class to protest Trump

A group of people continued marching and circling around the main gate of Columbia University on Monday afternoon, banging loud drums and chanting, “Long live the intifada.”

Their actions come shortly after Columbia University professors held what they called an “emergency vigil” in response to the college’s agreement to implement a host of policy changes, including overhauling its rules for protests and conducting an immediate review of its Middle Eastern studies department following demands from the Trump administration.

The group gathered outside the university’s gates on 116th Street and Amsterdam Avenue, holding signs that read “defend democracy,” “defend teaching” and “Columbia, fight back.”

Though the arrest of prominent anti-Israel activist and legal permanent resident Mahmoud Khalil by federal immigration officials was mentioned, activists used the opportunity to speak about numerous grievances with the school.

These masks are not about Covid, they’re about defying Trump and hiding the faces of the protesters.

The faculty members who are encouraging this should be fired. If they’re tenured, they should be placed on leave. The American people are tired of the madness continually unfolding at this supposedly ‘prestigious’ university.

A well known YouTube personality named Erik Van Conover from New York was recently arrested in New Hampshire. He was allegedly speeding and gave chase to the police. When he finally pulled over for one cop, he allegedly tried to hit him with his car.

Van Conover appeared in court Monday and had a total meltdown, challenging anyone to question his mental competence.

He doesn’t seem completely rational.

WMUR News reported:

New York man charged with attempted murder for allegedly hitting police officer with car

A New York City man who is well known on social media is in a New Hampshire jail facing attempted murder charges after he allegedly hit a police officer with his car.

Erik Conover denied the allegations in court Monday and said police falsified the paperwork.

“I have everything right here, and it’s all falsified,” Conover said during his arraignment…

“If anyone dares try to test my mental competence, I will eviscerate every single person with my intelligence right now,” he said. “And that’s not being egotistical.”

According to police documents, the pursuit started after Conover was allegedly seen driving 55 mph in a 35-mph zone. Police said that after eight miles, Conover stopped, and an officer attempted to de-escalate the situation. But Conover allegedly drove at the officer and hit him in the leg before speeding off for another 28 miles.

More from the Daily Mail:

After allegedly hitting the officer, Conover continued to drive to the town of Carroll and was eventually chased down by deputies with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.

The entire pursuit lasted 38 miles until Conover was stopped by state police officers who deployed spike strips on the road to stop him.

Keith Blair, a Carroll County Attorney representing the state, said: ‘You know, the state’s position is that when a law enforcement officer signals for you to pull over and stop, you should do so.’

Where is this guy’s lawyer? He should be advising him not to lose his mind on the judge like this.

SOUNDS FAMILIAR: Irish Prosecutors Consider Charging Conor McGregor With ‘Inciting Hate’ Right After He Announces Presidential Bid

SOUNDS FAMILIAR: Irish Prosecutors Consider Charging Conor McGregor With ‘Inciting Hate’ Right After He Announces Presidential Bid
March 24, 2025

It looks like leftists in Ireland are taking a page out of the leftist playbook in America.

No sooner had Conor McGregor announced his bid for president of Ireland, prosecutors announced that they may seek to charge him with inciting hate.

This looks like the same type of lawfare BS that we just went through for years here in the United States.

Breitbart News reports:

Irish Prosecutors Mull Charging Conor McGregor with ‘Inciting Hatred’ After Presidential Bid Announcement

In the wake of Conor McGregor announcing his intention to run for president, Irish prosecutors are reportedly considering charging the UFC legend over allegedly “inciting hatred” amid the 2023 Dublin riots.

In the wake of McGregor being invited by the Trump administration to the White House and later announcing his intentions to run for the Irish presidency, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in Dublin is said to be examining social media posts from the outspoken mixed marital artist for potential criminal charges, the Irish Independent reported.

According to the paper, the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation (NBCI) recently sent the DPP a police file regarding an investigation into posts McGregor made in 2023. If the prosecutors take up the case, the Irish fighter could face up to seven years in prison for his social media comments under the European nation’s draconian speech restrictions.

One of the supposedly offending posts came on the night before the Dublin riots, in which McGregor said in response to Ukrainian refugees being allowed to vote in local elections: “Ireland, we are at war.”

People can see what’s going on here.

It’s so obvious that McGregor is being targeted and why it’s happening. They’re going to try anything to keep this man out of office.

BREAKING: Trump DOJ Invokes State Secrets Privilege, Tells Judge Boasberg it will Provide Him No More Info on Deportation Flights

BREAKING: Trump DOJ Invokes State Secrets Privilege, Tells Judge Boasberg it will Provide Him No More Info on Deportation Flights

The Trump DOJ said it is exercising the State Secrets Privilege and informed Judge James Boasberg it will no longer provide him with any information related to deportation flights.

Boasberg, an Obama appointee, has been grilling DOJ lawyers about the Trump Administration’s move to deport dangerous Venezuelan aliens under the Alien Enemies Act.

Judge Boasberg said Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport criminal aliens is “incredibly troublesome and problematic” and threatened the Trump Admin with consequences if they violate his order in the future.

On Monday evening, the DOJ had enough of Judge Boasberg’s intrusive orders and invoked the State Secrets Privilege.

“The Executive Branch hereby notifies the Court that no further information will be provided in response to the Court’s March 18, 2025 Minute Order based on the state secrets privilege and the concurrently filed declarations of the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security,” the DOJ wrote.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi told the judge that President Trump has plenary authority under Article II to remove from the homeland designated terrorists.

“This is a case about the President’s plenary authority, derived from Article II and the mandate of the electorate, and reinforced by longstanding statute, to remove from the homeland designated terrorists participating in a state-sponsored invasion of, and predatory incursion into, the United States. The Court has all of the facts it needs to address the compliance issues before it. Further intrusions on the Executive Branch would present dangerous and wholly unwarranted separation-of-powers harms with respect to diplomatic and national security concerns that the Court lacks competence to address,” the DOJ said.

The DOJ straight up told Boasberg you will get no more information related to the deportation flights and that’s the end of the story.

“No more information is needed to resolve any legal issue in this case. Whether the planes carried one TdA terrorist or a thousand or whether the planes made one stop or ten simply has no bearing on any relevant legal issue. The need for additional information here is not merely “dubious,” or “trivial,” it is non-existent. The Executive Branch violated no valid order through its actions, and the Court has all it needs to evaluate compliance. Accordingly, the Court’s factual inquiry should end,” the DOJ said.

Earlier Monday Judge Boasberg rejected the Trump Administration’s request to vacate the temporary restraining order (TRO), but offered to convert it to a preliminary injunction.

The judge also said the deported criminal aliens deserve individual hearings.

Corrupt Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, Indicted Staffers Reimbursed $900,000 in Legal Fees For Charges Related to $11 Million No-Bid Covid Vaccine Outreach Contract

Corrupt Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, Indicted Staffers Reimbursed $900,000 in Legal Fees For Charges Related to $11 Million No-Bid Covid Vaccine Outreach Contract
March 24, 2025

Corrupt Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and her former staffers will be reimbursed nearly $900,000 in legal fees related to bid-rigging charges.

Last year Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg (D) transferred the case to Ken Paxton’s office so it didn’t ‘fall through the cracks’ when she left office this year.

However, County Commissioners voted 3-1 to reimburse Hidalgo and her three former staffers $877,402 for legals fees related to the case after a separate prosecutor dropped the charges.

Hidalgo’s office was embroiled in a bid-rigging scandal.

Lina Hidalgo’s top three staffers were indicted in April 2022 after prosecutors expanded the investigation into an $11 million ‘vaccine outreach contract’ awarded to one of the judge’s political cronies.

While Hidalgo was threatening to jail and fine people for violating her Covid rules, she was secretly trying to award one of her political cronies, Felicity Pereyra, who founded Elevate Strategies, an $11 million ‘vaccine outreach’ contract.

Hidalgo ultimately panicked and canceled the $11 million vaccine contract after questions were raised that it was with a one-person firm with no experience.

Hidalgo’s Chief of Staff Alex Triantaphyllis and Policy Director Wallis Nader along with co-defendant Aaron Dunn were charged with misuse of official information and tampering with government documents in connection with the canceled vaccine outreach contract.

Lina Hidalgo and Kim Ogg previously got into a public feud.

Hidalgo previously trashed DA Kim Ogg in a press conference after she accused her of threatening her reelection by floating a possible indictment.

Judge Hildaldo lashed out at Kim Ogg again this year after the County commissioners voted to reimburse her.

“It was a political attack,” Hidalgo said, according to Houston Public Media. “I barely won, so she almost achieved what she wanted, which was to bleed me dry to the point that I couldn’t run a proper political operation, and that’s not something that we want to allow prosecutors to do.”

Kim Ogg hit back and zinged Lina Hidalgo for her lack of knowledge about the justice system.

“The fact that the cases were later dismissed by a different prosecutor doesn’t change the fact that ordinary people heard the evidence in this case and indicted these people for contract bidding, for bid-rigging of a contract,” Ogg said, according to HPM.

“Judge Hidalgo’s lack of understanding about the criminal justice system never fails to surprise me,” Kim Ogg added. “She is not a lawyer. She has not been to the courthouse to the best of my knowledge, and she does not seem to understand the system.”

Lina Hidalgo checked herself into a treatment facility for clinical depression in summer 2023.
