I get it; politicians lie. That’s like saying beer drinkers burp or fish swim – it’s just how life is. But some lies are unforgivable, and the lies Democrats told last fall fall into that category.

Democrats, in and out of the media, not only swore that Joe Biden was “the best Biden ever,” they insisted that even suggesting anything to the contrary was ageism, outrageous, and heresy. They attacked you, us, for the simple act of noticing reality.

They denied that reality, insisted it wasn’t so, and attempted to destroy people for pointing it out. And they did it all with a smug sense of holier-than-thou-ism for the record books.

Now, they’re retroactively on board with all of it. All the monologues, tweets, op-eds…it’s like they never happened – the eternal sunshine of the spotless campaign.

In their new book “Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” they recount last year’s events in a way that is both entertaining and like it’s from another planet. I remember the previous year vividly. And I bet you do, too.

No one from the outlets the two authors work for, let alone them, dared whisper what they’re now screaming from the mountaintops to sell books, not one of them. It takes a while to write a book, and the sources they used for this one are people they’ve known and talked to for years and years, which begs the question: when did they first start hearing about Biden’s slipping? Further, why didn’t they report it when they heard it? It sure as hell was long before now.

And the shows they go on to promote the book – especially Morning Joe – are all pretend curious about the “revelations” they helped perpetuate. If they’d had their way and gotten away with lying, the President of the United States may well be a dementia patient inflicting God knows what on the country.

The question of what they knew and when they knew it will never be answered because they won’t go near anyone who’d dare ask it. It's the same safe space that enveloped Joe Biden is where they live – the left takes care of their own, always. Who would ask them – any of them – why they protected Biden and for how long, Rachel Maddow? Wolf Blitzer? They were all in it, every last one of them.

These people attacked anyone who dared point out the obvious, and they did it with a sense of self-righteousness unrivaled in the annals of history. We were the problem; we were the liars. There were “deepfakes” and “cheap fakes,” things taken out of context to “make Joe look bad.”

When he tripped over a sandbag, it was something anyone would have done, not an old man not noticing a bag out in the open in broad daylight. Remember when Joe froze at the “Juneteenth celebration” at the White House? It was nothing, we were told, but now it was one of many such instances. The frozen moment at that Hollywood fundraiser, the one where Barack Obama had to grab his wrist and help him off stage – the one where the left really went all out on demanding that anyone who dared question Joe’s mental state was some sort of enemy of the state – is described as it really was: a problem for Democrats.

When nothing is left in it for them to cover up for their politicians, they will tell the truth…for money.

According to the book, Barack and Michelle Obama never liked Kamala Harris. Neither did Nancy Pelosi. Everyone was working behind the scenes to shove her out the window and pick someone else. None of them thought she could win. Yet, none of this was reported at the time. Not that it wasn’t known at the time; it just wasn’t reported. There’s a significant difference.

The people making the most money off the lies are the ones who perpetrated them the whole time. In an honest industry, these stories would’ve been told in real-time so the American people could’ve been informed and made decisions fully educated. Were they honest, they would’ve won awards for their journalism. But journalism is not an honest industry. They won’t win awards; they’ll just get big, fat checks, which almost anyone would take over a Lucite block with their name laser-etched.

Either way, never forget what they did, never ignore what they’re doing by pretending they’re honest now, and never forgive them for any of it. Most importantly, never trust them again. Book tours like these farewell tours should be made for their credibility and their careers.

Failed Democrat Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz conceded that the Democrat party may have made a mistake by failing to acknowledge former President Joe Biden’s mental decline.

“Don’t you think your party needs to acknowledge that President Biden was not up to the job of running for re-election, and that this was a major mistake?” asked CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday.

“You all went along with the idea that he was up for it and he wasn’t and everybody saw it. And the country rejected it,” Tapper continued.

Walz (D-Minn.) responded, stating, “History will tell us to go back on that. That very well could be the case, Jake. What I’m concerned about is learning from those lessons. I would hope we would never do it again, make a mistake, make sure we go through and get someone. I don’t know where it helps us going forward.”

Walz’s comments were in reference to Biden’s initial refusal to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, despite the growing concern over his obvious mental decline.

Biden reiterated multiple times that he would not drop out of the race, which came to a head following his disastrous debate performance against President Donald Trump last June, ultimately ending his re-election campaign.

At the time, Walz attempted to quell concerns about Biden’s mental state as he stated, “Yes, he’s fit for office.”

“None of us are denying that Thursday night was a bad performance,” Walz stated at the time. “It was a bad get, if you will, on that. But it doesn’t impact what I believe — he’s delivering.”

Additionally, Tapper pressed Walz regarding former Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent California speech, where she told the crowd, “I told you so.”

“What does ‘I told you so’ really mean here? I mean, people heard her message. They did not vote for her. She lost every battleground state. You yourself have criticized the Harris-Walz campaign for being too cautious. She may have told the American people, you know, she may have warned the American people, but she didn’t do it compellingly enough to win,” Tapper added.

Walz responded, criticizing himself for the crushing defeat in which the Democrats were unable to secure a single swing state, while also arguing that Harris attempted to warn Americans regarding Trump’s policies.

“I do think the challenge for Democrats, and this is, I think, a structural problem that’s going to take a lot more thought. Why, with all of that out there, did they not think we were any better than that? And they didn’t, and I’m very concerned about the folks who stayed home,” Walz added.

Tapper’s comments were in reference to Harris’s speech last Thursday, where she spoke on the “unconstitutional threat” that is the Trump administration, adding that “I’m not here to say I told you so.”

“We’re seeing people stay quiet. We are seeing organizations stay quiet. We are seeing those who are capitulating to clearly unconstitutional threats. And these are the things we are witnessing. Each day in the last few months in our country. And it understandably creates a great sense of fear. Because you know there were many things we knew would happen,” Harris stated at the Leading Women Defined Summit in Dana Point, California.

Walz also revealed that he currently has no plans to run for president in 2028.

“I’m certainly thinking about running again in Minnesota, if that’s what they want. I am not thinking about running in 2028,” Walz stated. “In this moment you’re planning for 2028, you’re going to get rolled by the people in the streets.”

Tesla Terror: Welcome to leftist “resistance”and Democrat treason.

The Democrats may have been rocked on their heels temporarily by their election loss to Donald Trump, and sent into a tailspin of internal bickering about why they lost to American voters, but now they are revving up The Resistance – and it includes waging domestic terrorism against the MAGA movement they falsely equate with Nazi fascism.

The primary target around which the Democrats are uniting in violent protest is Trump appointee and mega-billionaire Elon Musk, whose Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has rooted out a reported $115 billion and counting in federal waste and fraud. Musk is therefore an existential threat to the Big Government Left, which depends on bureaucratic bloat and hidden slush funds to maintain its grip on power and to fuel its agenda of permanent one-party hegemony.

Violent Marxists at heart, the Left has launched a coordinated campaign of terror this month against Musk’s American auto company Tesla and even the owners of Tesla vehicles. Tesla dealerships are being firebombed, both here and abroad (a dozen Teslas were torched at a dealership in France; some in Berlin as well). "Democrat terrorists are vandalizing Teslas in parking lots and confronting Tesla drivers with angry profanities and threats.

Several Tesla vehicles were set afire in Las Vegas early Tuesday morning, for example. Police said the attacker used Molotov cocktails, shot rounds into vehicles, and scrawled the word “resist” on the front doors of the Tesla Collision Center. Kansas City, Missouri, police are investigating a similar attack at a local dealership. Other such incidents have taken place in Oregon and Washington state.

Last week, a Tesla dealership in Colorado was targeted by terrorists using Molotov cocktails and spray-painting “Nazi cars” on the building’s facade. In Colorado, a man was arrested for hurling five Molotov cocktails at a Tesla charging station, damaging three EV chargers. He also scrawled anti-Trump and pro-Ukraine messages next to the damaged chargers before confronting a female Tesla driver, who managed to drive away.

Curiously, the Daily Caller notes that an inordinate number of Tesla vandals are transgender. A 26-year-old Trump hater with “She/They” pronouns vandalized – allegedly – a newly built Tesla sales, service, and delivery center with graffiti targeting Trump and Musk, and supporting “trans rights.” A 24-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of arson and other charges at a Tesla dealership in Loveland, Colorado in connection with the earlier arrest of a man claiming to be a woman, following “several” instances of vandalism at the dealership, which included incendiary devices.

In New York, a man scrawled a swastika on a Cybertruck, leaving its Jewish owner stunned. Videos of other such vandalisms are all over the internet.

The Democrat terrorists have also launched a “DOGEQUEST” website doxxing the names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of Tesla owners, symbolically threatening them with a Molotov cocktail cursor icon. The site claims it will remove an individual’s data if they can prove they have sold their vehicle. In addition, a map includes the locations of Tesla dealerships, supercharger stations, and even DOGE employees.

Last Tuesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote in a statement that

The swarm of violent attacks on Tesla property is nothing short of domestic terrorism. The Department of Justice has already charged several perpetrators with that in mind, including in cases that involve charges with five-year mandatory minimum sentences.

We will continue investigations that impose severe consequences on those involved in these attacks, including those operating behind the scenes to coordinate and fund these crimes.

Trump himself has declared that these actions constitute domestic terrorism. Asked by a reporter last week if violent Tesla protesters should be “labeled domestic terrorists,” he said “I’ll do it. You do it to Tesla and you do it to any company, we’re going to catch you and you’re going to go through hell.”

On the ground level, this campaign is being carried out by operatives (often masked) doing the dirty work; on another level, the campaign is being promoted openly by Democrat politicians and cultural elites.

Failed Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz, in one shocking example, gleefully crowed to a town hall audience in Wisconsin that he got “a little boost during the day” from checking Tesla’s falling stock on his iPhone. (Musk clapped back on X, posting, “Sometimes when I need a little boost, I look at the @JDVance portrait in the @WhiteHouse and thank the Lord.”)

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow tried to claim that her party’s domestic terrorists are simply people “who don’t support Elon Musk’s car company,” and that they are merely “boycotting” or “protesting” Tesla. She called Bondi’s and Trump’s stern pronouncements “threats,” while completely ignoring her party’s threats and actual violence toward Tesla owners and dealerships. MSNBC’s The Beat host Ari Melber tried to argue the same point.

Slimy late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel drew big applause and cheers from his audience by noting that Tesla stock was “disastrously” down and Teslas were being vandalized. He also got a big laugh when he stared meaningfully into the camera and said unconvincingly, “Please don’t ever vandalize Tesla vehicles.”

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host Jordan Klepper laughed while his audience repeatedly cheered at fiery footage of Tesla dealerships, Teslas, and charging stations being bombed and vandalized.

“I don’t think people are mad at you because of the Teslas, Elon,” Klepper said:

If I were to hazard a guess about why they’d be mad, it might be because in the last several weeks you fired tens of thousands of federal workers, you’ve made cuts to veterans care, lifesaving foreign aid, and food banks, you’ve cancelled important medical research… Yeah, people might get a little upset if you stop their medical trial halfway through.

That’s not what’s happening, but Democrats are not nearly as keen on facts as they are on mockery, which is much more effective, as Marxist strategist Saul Alinsky famously noted. Klepper went on to say some people have left “helpful messages,” before cutting to images of vandalized Teslas and dealerships with swastikas and “Nazi scum” spray-painted on them. “Maybe people are mad at you because you don’t seem to know what the fuck you’re doing!” Klepper added.

Or maybe they’re just radicals trying to force political change through violence – i.e., terrorists.

Speaking of “helpful messages,” the Libs of TikTok social media account posted a video with the caption, “Stickers on parking meters in Brooklyn are calling for someone to kill Elon.” The camera in the video finds a parking meter with a pair of stickers plastered on it which read, “WHO WILL KILL ELON?” The caption added, “The Left has become a violent terror organization.”

(Technically, the Left has always, since its inception in the French Revolution, been a violent terror organization; see my Freedom Center colleague Daniel Greenfield’s book Domestic Enemies.)

The murderous impulse behind this terrorism is shared by the anti-Trump “Right.” Despicable Never-Trumper Rick Wilson – a tight-wound troll full of hateful anger – posted a paywalled article on his Substack page with the unambiguous headline, “Kill Tesla, Save the Country.” The tagline is literal incitement to terrorism: “Elon has a weak spot. Attack.” The opening sentence hyperbolically smears Musk as a Nazi and fascist, as prelude to encouraging the Leftist mob to Save Democracy™ by any means necessary.

Asked on CNN if this is “what resistance looks like,” Democrat politician, Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton replied, “So, Trump thinks that if you try to kill cops and overthrow the government and change an election, that’s not domestic terrorism, but, somehow, having a protest in front of a Tesla dealership is?”

This is today’s Democrat leadership: spewing disgusting lies while providing cover for their own party’s domestic terrorism. As conservative activist Robby Starbuck tweeted on X,

Democrats could condemn terror attacks on Tesla with a simple statement released by the party and elected Democrats could release individual statements about it, but they haven’t done so. Any decent person would but they REFUSE. This tells me that they want this domestic terror.

Of course they want it. Domestic terrorism is central to Left-wing political strategy. Democracy dies not in darkness, as The Washington Post once pontificated, but in the Democrat Party’s open support for, and engagement in, anti-American terrorism.

Victor Davis Hanson: Democrats’ 10-Part Strategy to Stopping Trump (At Any Cost)

Despite their unprecedented unpopularity, Democrats aren’t operating in a nihilistic vacuum. They are currently carrying out a a highly organized counter-agenda. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down this agenda into 10 key themes on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” Democrats think “ Donald Trump must be considered, as Chris Matthews just said, a Mussolini-like figure. He must be opposed in every aspect. He must be demonized. Everything he does is evil. And by extension, the same is true of Elon Musk. “ The second thing I’ve noticed, very quickly, is that ICE is wrong. You have to stop ICE from deporting anybody, even if they’re a criminal. “ There should be no cuts. No cuts in the federal government. We have a $1.7 trillion deficit. … We’re not going to discuss it. All we know is there should be no layoffs.”

Victor Davis Hanson: The Only Immigrant Democrats Don’t Support: Elon Musk

The Left’s hatred for Elon Musk seems to be increasing rapidly every day. In Congress, certain Democrat politicians question Musk’s intentions since he is an immigrant. By normal leftist standards, it would make one “xenophobic” and “nativist” to think this way, but that logic doesn’t apply to Musk, argues Victor Davis Hanson in this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ We had a congresswoman from Ohio, I think her name was Marcy Kaptur, recently said that she wasn’t sure where Elon Musk’s loyalties lay because he’d only been a citizen for 22 years. … Remember, the Left says that people who are here illegally, and not citizens, should gain all of the protections and rights of citizens. They should be de facto citizens. “ We have turned someone who has saved the U.S. space program and will probably save two astronauts who otherwise would perish in space if it was left to the government program; who reinvented the entire auto industry; who opened up all of social media with X—we have turned this person into a demon.”
