02b U.S. Politics – Left

Blurb:

Chicago public school students deserve better than this. And when teaching officials can’t even spell “governor,” you understand why they provide abysmal results.

The Chicago Teachers Union released an ad campaign where they urged residents to send letters to the “Governer” to “make the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share and fully fund our schools.” They have since deleted the campaign post because of how embarrassing it was.

Now, besides the comical misspelling of “Governor,” there are still several things wrong with what they did.

Blurb:

Angie Craig is a Minnesota congresswoman seeking the Dem nomination for an open Senate seat. Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, Craig’s ultraliberal primary opponent, has accused Craig of being too tough on immigration. Craig committed the unforgivable sin — in leftist eyes — of voting for the Laken Riley Act, and supporting a House resolution condemning antisemitism and expressing gratitude for ICE.

So Craig is clearly on a campaign to atone for her transgressions, and prove to the kind of far-left Dems who vote in Minnesota primaries that she is just as out there as the wackiest of them.

MS NOW’s The Weekend gave Craig an opportunity to do that, having her as a guest on Saturday’s show.

The first topic was the blatant stunt Craig pulled on January 7th, picking an argument on the House floor–with cameras conveniently rolling–with Republican congressman Tom Emmer on the subject of the ICE shooting of Renee Good. Craig repeatedly poked her finger toward Emmer’s chest, and a colleague eventually had to pull her away. She described herself to The Weekend hosts as “a pissed off congresswoman on the House floor.” Oh, the bravery of this woman warrior! Peggy Flanagan is a hopeless lefty, but she got one thing right, saying Craig “cravenly picked a fight” with Emmer.

Blurb:

Don’t believe your lying eyes.

That’s effectively what the hoax-peddling Washington Post told its readers when it ran what can only be surmised as the most dishonest piece of left-wing propaganda published (so far) this year.

Splattered across the top of the outlet’s homepage on Thursday was an ” analysis” titled, “Video shows ICE agent in Minneapolis fired at driver as vehicle veered past him.” (An earlier version of the article had the headline, “ICE agent was not in the vehicle’s path when he fired at driver, video shows.”)

Right from the get-go, it’s clear that make-pretend “reporters” Aaron Davis and Jonathan Baran aren’t trying to inform their audience of what actually happened but are instead seeking to advance the Democrat Party’s anti-ICE agenda.

Upon navigating the Orwellian article, readers are immediately bombarded with the presumption that the Trump administration’s central (and well-documented) claim — that the now-deceased woman disobeyed ICE and then hit an agent with her car — is false. In typical legacy media fashion, Davis and Baran play up such framing by asserting that their “frame-by-frame analysis” “raises questions” about the administration’s account of the incident.

Blurb:

The official White House narrative of how a U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and killed a U.S. citizen in her vehicle in Minneapolis is bumping hard up against what can be seen in videos of the incident.

U.S. President Donald Trump, Vice-President JD Vance and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem are all insisting that the victim, Renee Nicole Good, deliberately rammed her vehicle into an ICE officer who then fired shots in self-defence because he feared for his life.

Yet three videos from the scene — each verified by CBC News as authentic — contradict these claims and raise serious questions about why the White House is defending the fatal shooting as justified.

Blurb:

“The violence we are seeing did not begin on January 7. The only difference now is that more people are finally seeing it.”

Several hundred people marched in Boston Thursday night to protest the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a 37-year-old Minnesota mother, by a federal immigration agent as she tried to drive away from agents.

With glowing Park Street Church as a backdrop, close to a thousand people chanted, calling for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to leave local communities and for an end ro deportations.

The protest, organized by the Party for Socialism and Liberation, was the second in Boston after Good’s killing. In a quickly organized event, crowds also gathered at the Boston Common Wednesday evening.

“We are outraged. People all across the country, but also here in Boston, are sick of ICE,” Ximena Hasbach, a PSL organizer, told Boston.com. “We demand an end to ice terror. We demand justice for Renee. We demand the arrest of Jonathan Ross, the man who killed her.”

A video reportedly filmed by the federal agent who shot and killed Renée Nicole Good in Minneapolis earlier this week was released on Friday by a conservative Minnesota outlet whose most prominent reporter is married to the city’s former police union head.

Alpha News—notable in part for its sympathetic coverage of Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer convicted in 2021 of murdering George Floyd—has since Wednesday published a flurry of articles including “ICE shooting in Minneapolis: Minnesota attorney explains how presumed innocence has been ignored again” and “REPORT: Woman killed by ICE agent was member of ‘ICE Watch’ group working to disrupt immigration arrests.”

Conservative commentators have seized on the 47-second clip to argue that it exculpates Ross and shows Good driving towards him.

Blurb:

The aftermath of the ICE shooting of an anti-ICE activist in Minnesota has quickly exploded into a national story that sucks the oxygen out of anything else trying to elbow its way into the news cycle . This includes Venezuela, where the NBC Nightly News was the sole evening network newscast to chronicle a major development: the Chavista regime’s release of an indeterminate number of political prisoners.

Here is the Venezuela roundup that has the prisoner release at the top, in its entirety and as aired on NBC Nightly News on Thursday, January 8th, 2026:

Blurb:

Hypocrisy was in high gear on Morning Joe today regarding the Minneapolis ICE shooting. The panel accused President Trump and JD Vance of “prejudging” the situation and “jumping to conclusions.” But the panel repeatedly described Renee Nicole Good as “the victim.” If Good is the victim, that, ipso facto, makes the ICE agents the guilty parties. So who’s prejudging now?

That wasn’t the only instance of hypocrisy/double standards on display. Former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson lamented that instead of “trying to calm people’s fears down,” leaders “are simply playing to [their] base and trying to amp it up.” While Johnson didn’t name names, this is MS NOW, so his accusation clearly seemed aimed at the Trump administration.

But when it comes to playing to the base and amping things up instead of calming people’s fears, consider these statements by an array of Democrats:

  • Tim Walz called ICE “Trump’s Gestapo,” and declared, as he mobilized the MN National Guard, “we’ve never been at war with our federal government [until now?]”
  • Jasmine Crockett called ICE “slave patrols.”
  • Ilhan Omar called ICE agents “vile and beyond cruel.”
  • Hakeem Jeffries implored people to “fight” the Trump administration “in the streets.”
  • Good old Maxine Waters called Trump “lowdown, no good, filthy,” over ICE raids.

Blurb:

If protests are an “unstoppable force that they can’t oppose,” that Trump “can’t oppose,” why are they opposable? That is something Rachel Maddow will never be able to answer, but it won’t stop her from going on a rant about percentages, authoritarianism, and blah blah blah.

According to Rachel Maddow, “In political science terms, there’s what’s called the 3.5 percent rule, which is that if you look at authoritarian regimes all over the world over the last century, once you have 3.5 percent of a population protesting nonviolently against a dictator or an authoritarian, that is essentially an unstoppable force that they can’t oppose.”

The only problem with this is that it’s unclear what it is that Trump can’t oppose. What are they even fighting for? A woman who spent much of her free time dedicated to doxxing federal agents allegedly attempted to run over an officer with a deadly weapon. Now, apparently, 3.5 percent of the population is opposing this, and Maddow claims Trump can’t oppose that opposition.

Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.) said on Sunday she thinks the Trump administration is trying to “cover up” the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer by pushing a narrative before investigators were able to gather information. “I think what we are seeing here is the federal government, [Homeland…

The New York Times is demanding that the Canadian government advances it’s rapid expansion of “assisted suicide” laws in order to swiftly euthanize a woman suffering from mental health issues.

It comes as Canada’s spiraling assisted-suicide program is once again under international fire after the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities called on the Canadian government to repeal its planned expansion of euthanasia for those suffering solely from mental illness, a policy critics warn will normalize suicide as “healthcare.”

Democrats and the corporate media rushed to defend Somalis throughout the end of 2025 as reports emerged that they committed widespread fraud in Minnesota.

Federal prosecutors charged dozens of Somalis with stealing over $9 billion of taxpayer money intended for social services, including the nonprofit Feeding Our Future.

As more details have emerged about their fraudulent actions, Democrats accused President Donald Trump and conservatives of using Somalis as scapegoats and expressed their support for the population.

Jimmy Kimmel’s awards acceptance speech Jan. 4 at the Critics Choice Awards included a nod to President Donald Trump.

Kimmel took the stage in a hangar in Santa Monica, California, and sarcastically thanked the president.

“Thanks to all the writers and actors and producers and union members, many of you who are in this room, who supported us, who really stepped forward us and reminded us that we do not take free speech for granted in this city or in this country. Your actions were important, and we appreciate them,” the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host said.

Blurb:

There’s nothing like a dramatic military action by President Trump to underline how much National “Public” Radio sounds like DNC Radio. On Weekend Edition Saturday, within hours of Maduro being seized, guest host Daniel Estrin interviewed Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and energetically pushed that Trump’s actions were illegal:

ESTRIN: You were among the lawmakers who said the Trump administration’s strikes on boats in the Caribbean were illegal. You were even discussing the possibility of those strikes constituting a war crime. So how do you see last night’s operations?

It’s a cornucopia of identity politics where a black lesbian confronts a white man about a trans woman whipping out her junk in the locker room. And you’ll never guess whose side Rep. Eric Swallows, who is now running for California Governor, is on. Ackshually, we can pretty much guess, but he ran away instead of answering, so we don’t know for sure.

Tish Hyman went viral for expressing her disapproval of Alexis Black exposing herself in the women’s locker room at a Los Angeles Gold’s Gym. Alexis used to be Grant Freeman and still had Grant’s genitalia, so of course Hyman got thrown out of the gym since it’s Los Angeles and trans outranks black lesbian on the left’s pound-for-pound most marinalized rankings.

Side note: When Alexis Black was Grant Freeman, s/he pleaded guilty in 2022 to savagely beating his wife. Unclear is whether they/them identified as a woman at the time.

Iowa Democrat Christina Bohannan is selling herself as a humble, hard-working champion of the middle class who knows what it’s like “to struggle to put food on the table.”

But her real estate holdings and financial disclosures tell a much richer story — one featuring million-dollar homes, a Florida waterfront condo, and a stock portfolio stuffed with Big Tech giants.

“You know, I know what it’s like to work so hard and to, to still struggle to put food on the table,” Bohannan told fairgoers at the Iowa State Fair. She has repeatedly invoked her upbringing in a trailer park and memories of choosing “between putting groceries in the cart and filling prescription drugs.” She even told Iowa Public Radio that “she knows what it’s like to struggle.”

Blurb:

It’s unclear what universe the New York Times is living in, but can we stop playing the sympathy game for people who steal other people’s identity? In the pursuit of ensuring no human is labeled illegal, this illegal alien illegally stole someone’s identity — which, of course, is illegal. And the only victim here is the person whose identity was stolen. If that isn’t an illegal slap in the face of our justice system, nothing is.

The New York Times is really out there claiming that because “thousands of undocumented workers rely on fraudulent Social Security numbers,” somehow that makes them the victim. They even dedicated an article to the illegal who stole the Social Security number of an innocent American.

“Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, ‘Do not think to yourself that in the king’s palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews. For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?’ Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, ‘Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.’”Esther 4:13-16

INTRODUCTION

The November 4, 2025, election delivered to the Democrats a much-needed morality boost after taking a series of critical losses that began with the re-election of Donald J. Trump. It also showed “America’ what this writer has been telling you, the reader, for some time now.

Our series on Detaining the Donkey will conclude in the end-of-month issue. This report, however, can be seen as part of the overall report, for this election shows two things, there are two countries in this land (America and Progmerica) and the Progmericans are violent extremists already convinced that Americans are essentially white supremacist Nazis worthy of death.

We now find ourselves in a position where speaking out against unconstitutional actions, no matter the cost, is an existential essential if America is to reconquer her lost lands, lands lost to the progressives.

Like Esther, we must resist the temptation to cower in fear, we must risk death speaking plainly against the injustices recently committed and the injustices to come by our enemy, the progressive nation.

We must also resist the temptation to violently act in response to these injustices we will soon see occur in the more strongly fortified progressive lands, like New York City and Virginia.

We must call upon our American civic authority to intervene on our behalf. We must count it as a righteous judgment on a land that still murders unborn children for the joy of “casual” sex if no such American civic authority comes to our rescue. Given the anti-American spirit of even the GOP, one has reason to be concerned that help might not be coming.

In this election, we saw a murder-wishing Attorney General get elected, we saw an outright Marxist-Islamist anti-Americanist get elected to be Mayor of our biggest city, and the red wave in New Jersey crash on the shores of bloody abortions.

All the conservative hype about a red wave was turned into a stinking blue mist exuding from the rotting flesh of the corpse that was once ONE COUNTRY in these lands. Where once there was America, we now know there are two countries, both fighting for existence. One country offers the lie of utopia and the other offers the burden of armed neighbors and personal responsibility.

We can only hope the utopian lie gets exposed before the power it creates ossifies in this land.

So far, white suburban “middle-class” women are choosing unborn child murder licensing over Americanism, “victim” blacks are choosing government handouts and REVENGE over Americanism, and the wealthy are voting for protections against competition from the hoi polio over Americanism.

All we have left now are the workers; yet workers are the ones being forced to foot the bill for classes of people that want those same workers dead (because of the white supremacism and the evil American empire they allegedly represent).

We will look at the key races in this election and break down the data that reveals the nature of this win for the party of Progmerica. We will also highlight the most troubling wins from an Americanist perspective, wins that reveal, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the seditious spirit of the average Democrat voter today.

They live by different standards in a country that began under Woodrow Wilson, the first zombie President (towards the end). Let us hope the last zombie President, Biden, is also the last Progmerican President in this country, ever.

A. OVERVIEW

In every major election we will be focusing on, mass mailer ballots were part of the election process, but if the statistics I was able to cull from incredibly anti-American, Progmerican-biased AI search engines like Grok are correct, mass mailer ballots didn’t factor in that greatly in Virgnia. They factored into the NJ race, but not as significantly as they did in the two previous Presidential elections.

In New York City, they may have been a “significant” factor. The specific breakdown of mass mailer ballots was not given, but the phrase “significant” was used to describe its factor in voting.

The fact that the VA election was NOT influenced by mass mailer ballots (only 10% of the vote was allegedly mass mailed) means it is likely that the Virginia election is truly a reflection of the voters.

Among those voters are the overwhelming majority of federal workers (187,000 total in Virginia), who voted for the DNC candidates knowing full well what they were, ESPECIALLY their advocation for violence as a means of political discourse in America.

In Progmerica, this makes sense. Truth is death to Progmericans, so violence must be used to oppress it. In America, this is treason. The overwhelming majority of Virginians OPENLY voted for treason.

  1. NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR’S RACE – Abortion extremist Mikkie Sherrill won the New Jersey governor’s race handily by a vote of 57% to 43% over Republican Jack Ciattarelli. Sherill ran mostly on abortion, promising to pass legislation that will allow women to murder their unborn children up to birth. The suburban middle class white women of the state fueled her Progmerican victory.

White middle class suburban women were highly motivated to vote in New Jersey, which led to a 54% voter turnout, the highest percentage in a governor’s race in over 20 years. Statistics on mail-in votes were not given, but more than one third of the votes were early votes or mail-in ballots, a bucket the Dems won 51% to 29%.

It should be noted the Grok reason for people voting for Sherill was given as “overall economy, strong support from independents and women voters.”

What it won’t tell you (because it’s programmed by what are, essentially, DNC acolytes) is that the main issue was the “right” to murder unborn children so women and men, and even children (in Progmerica), can whore and murder to their hearts’ delights.

The narrative around this race from the left is Sherril won primarily because of the economy, but this seems more like an attempt to evade the fact that the DNC now only exists in its defense of unborn child murder and extra rights for “disenfranchised” classes.

At least the oppressed in Progmerica will have sex without consequence (or so they think) and at least one class of people the oppressed can always feel superior to, the unborn (random clump of cells). The promised free stuff, however, won’t be coming anytime soon.

The Democrat voters of New Jersey didn’t necessarily vote for treason, like the people in Virginia did, but they overwhelmingly chose sexual licentiousness over American liberty. For we Christians, we know such a spirit bodes poorly for the people that hold it (read the prophets to see what’s coming next).

  1. VIRGINIA – The buzz about early voting initially not going great for the Democrats proved to be a false hope for Americans as the state overwhelmingly voted for violence in politics by electing a governor who wouldn’t condemn it and the highest law man in the land who also openly advocated for it.

Another abortion extremist, Abigaile Spanberger, can now be seen as the face of the white, suburban, female child murderer vote. Her refusal to condemn her fellow party member, Jay Jones, for texting he wanted to murder his republican opponents’ kids in front of him, matched the spirit she showed in defending unborn child murder up to birth. The only people abortionists don’t want you to kill are murderers and rapists. Charlie Kirk? Yes. Child rapist-murderer? No.

Now, Virginia’s Governor and Attorney General have openly advocated for terrorism, yet the DOJ refuses to arrest them after committing such an obvious crime. If you are not a progressive and you live in Virginia, 57% of your neighbors just voted to murder you. Your state leaders support your execution should you dare speak in public against them.

Spanberger beat Winsome Earle-Sears 57% to 43%. Jay Jones beat the incumbent DA 53% to 47%. Voter turnout was 55%, with only 10% being from mail-in ballots. This means, as I stated earlier, Virginia TRULY VOTED FOR TREASON. Virginia may be the first state to openly vote for political assassinations in the history of our republic, a republic they just voted against.

One could argue that the majority of Viriginia’s voters in 2025 openly committed an act of treason against our republic. One would be correct in that assumption if they view reality through an Americanist lens. You have no right to vote for political murder as you clearly did in Virginia. This is crime of the highest order.

As a Progmerican bonus, the seditionists of Virginia also voted in their first Muslim to be Lieutenant Governor, militant progressive Ghazala Hashmi. This is yet another foreigner who became an American now serving in our government on a seditious party platform. She was born in India and raised in Georgia, but not as an American, as a Muslim Indian.

Her values are progressive, which are anti-American, meaning we have reason to deport her should we reconquer this lost land. Naturalized citizens who revolt against the republic have no business being allowed to stay.

She beat the American, John Reid, by 11 points. She is also a militant abortion extremist, a trait the bloodthirsty seditionists of Virginia really love.

  1. NEW YORK MAYOR’S RACE – The real bell weather for our country is the New York Mayor’s race. In that race, newly minted U.S. citizen Zohran Mamdani beat his two opponents, Andrew Cuomo (who got 25% of the vote) and Curtis Sliwa (who got 21% of the vote) combined. He won 50.4% of the vote, a slim majority, but a majority nonetheless.

Only 41.5% of registered voters showed up, but that was the highest voter turnout for a Mayoral election in decades. Mamdani’s voters chose free stuff (a lie Mamdani won’t be able to fulfill) over Americanism. New York City voted openly for treason over America, free stuff over personal responsibility. New York City, like Virginia, has fallen.

As the mail-in ballots accounted for a “significant” percentage of the votes, New York might be given a pass since a mass mailer election is no election at all.

  1. PA SCOTUS – The PA Supreme Court race appears to be one led by white middle-class suburban women who voted to retain the three DNC judges. These quisling judges will assure PA soon passes laws that will allow women, men, and probably children too, to murder their unborn children up to the moment of birth.

White middle class suburban women helped all three Democrats win their retention by comfortable margins of around 60-40 for each.

This is my home state. I chose not to vote in this election because Pennsylvania has some of the most mass mailer ballot friendly laws in the country (with Colorado being the worst). Figuring out the percentage of mass mailer ballots is not possible, yet, but Grok reported “Pennsylvania has significant mail-in voting, but no specific percentage isolated for this retention vote; statewide trends show high mail-in usage in recent elections.”

This PA resident can attest that in 2020 my residence received no less than 5 mail-in ballots for two potential voters. I can’t remember how many ballots we received in 2024, but in 2025 we did only receive two mail-in ballots for the two potential voters.

For PA, what we actually support remains unclear, for mass mailer elections are no elections at all. Nonetheless, millions of babies will soon die for the convenience of white middle class suburban women and their murder-whoring-supporting men having the luxury of sex without consequences to themselves (which is ALWAYS an illusion, for casual sex is an oxymoron).

At least we know the vote counters chose treason, unborn child murder, over America.

  1. CALIFORNIA PROP 50 – Californians chose to fortify their anti-American empire by voting, essentially, for Democrats to gerrymander their districts even more than they already are to get more U.S. House seats for the foreign country of Progmerica that California voters overwhelmingly pledged their allegiance to.

The measure passed easily with more than 65% of the vote. It should be noted this vote on whether Democrats can cheat even more was accomplished with 85% of the vote being mass mailer ballots (with MANY returns). This election cannot be put at the feet of Californians as there was no real election at all (for all mass mailer elections are no elections at all).

The damage done to our republic is still very real, and as of the writing of this report there are no viable American political parties to fight them (and that includes the GOP). The yes voters wanted to counter GOP redistricting efforts in states like Texas. The GOP met evil with evil, further undermining American rule of law and election integrity, and the Democrats are now responding with more evil.

Winning with evil is losing in the Kingdom of God.

B. OTHER RACES OF NOTE

A couple other races highlight the criminal depravity of DNC voters. While an open Marxist lost to a progressive in the Milwaukee Mayor’s race, two violent extremists managed to take American elected office. Also, across America, more city councils have been taken over by seditionists, openly professing socialists, as more and more people choose depravity and hand-outs over dangerous liberty.

  1. ERICA DEUSO – A man calling himself Erica Deuso won the Mayor’s race in Downington, PA after a second round of vote counting. He is a trans “woman” who has openly advocated for political violence. This means Downington, PA is now in open rebellion against the republic. By all rights, the Federal government should shut this illegal government down.

The one caveat here is, once again this was a mass mailer election, which is no election at all, so the people of Downington might not have wanted any of this at all.

Upon being elected, he chose to celebrate his mental illness, saying “Tonight, the numbers are clear. We won. Voters chose hope, decency, and a community where every neighbor matters. I am honored to be elected as Pennsylvania’s first openly transgender mayor. I carry that responsibility with care and with purpose.”

No, voters chose treason over America, sexual licentiousness over the republic.

Deuso is also a militant abortionist, supporting the murdering of unborn children up to birth (and possibly beyond). He is a darling of Planned Parenthood.

  1. KAOHLY VANG HER – Another foreign-born insurrectionist “new citizen” was elected Mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota, one of the havens for DNC Islamist extremism. In addition to being another foreigner who doesn’t understand America, the treasonous activist also boldly proclaimed she entered our country illegally, openly celebrating lawlessness.

She beat the Progressive insurrectionist Mayor Melvin Carter, who proved not to be anti-American enough for the insurrectionist voters of St. Paul. She beat him by a handful of votes after “second-round-choice votes” were counted.

The percentages of mass mailer votes was given by Grok as being between 20-30%, so while that’s a high percentage, it’s still fair to say the majority of St. Paul voters, overwhelmingly, prefer either lite anti-Americanism or hard anti-Americanism.  The slim majority chose hard anti-Americanism.

St. Paul must be reconquered.

C. KEY REACTIONS

Some key reactions from the election’s stunningly anti-American results from the President, the Vice President, and Democrat leaders show perhaps neither side knows why they won or lost.

  1. DONALD TRUMP – President Trump offered a pithy response on his Truth Social platform, writing “TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT,” according to pollsters.

By my research, I would say the President is wish-speaking, not reality-speaking. The voters concerned about the economy mostly voted for Republicans, while the socialists, the beggars, and the whores voted overwhelmingly for the party of the coalition of the criminally insane. Perhaps the President doesn’t want to face the reality of power, that there are two nations in this land, and they cannot, and will not, get along.

Now that we are aware of our mutual existence, the tension is only going to increase.

  1. DNC MEDIA – The illegal campaign advertisers and information terrorists, the DNC-aligned corporate media, were giddy with the news that America lost the election and Progmerica won. The best example of their treasonous response comes from ABC News’ Good Morning America.

The host, George Stephanopoulos, told his audience that the two Virginia Democrats who advocated for political murder against conservatives were “centrist Democrats.” Are the extremists now openly raping children in public? Is THAT now what it takes to be called a leftwing extremist?

Calling them “centrist” is nothing but an attempt to normalize political murder. This is treason AND terrorism.

  1. JOSH SHAPIRO – Pennsylvania’s anti-American governor, insurrectionist Josh Shapiro (who never met a gun he didn’t want to confiscate or an unborn child he didn’t want to murder, or a girl he didn’t want to transition) cheered on America’s defeat, claiming “Americans” (Progmericans, really, which are NO AMERICANS AT ALL) voted against the chaos of Donald Trump.

This is the party that murdered Charlie Kirk, whose supporters, voters, continue to celebrate that death (ESPECIALLY VIRGINIANS!).

Shapiro’s doublespeak agit prop was this: “I think it’s going to have a huge impact. And listen, this is yet another example of the kind of chaos that Donald Trump has brought to our country. I mean, listen, Republicans control the White House. They control the House. They control the Senate. They got to reopen the government, and they got to pay these workers who do really critical tasks for us, like keeping us safe when we’re in the skies. It’s time for them to get this over with and get people back to work, pay folks, and end this shutdown.”

He knows full well the Senate needs 60 votes to complete the budget vote, yet he chooses to openly lie to his voters, spreading slander against his political opponents that will surely inspire more violence.

Leading voters to believe the Republicans could open the government with their votes alone, in these times, is practically a declaration of war, especially when the Democrats were holding out for illegal immigrant subsidies and continued healthcare fraud at the expense of many of the same insurrectionists at heart that voted for them. Shapiro’s response to the Charlie Kirk murder was to blame the President, for instance, not his own depraved party.

  1. JD VANCE – JD Vance spun the loss as the consequence of elections being held in blue states. He also seemingly associated economic factors with the loss, as many others have, though this writer disagrees with that assessment (mostly).

Vance said, “I think it’s idiotic to overreact to a couple of elections in blue states, but a few thoughts. We need to focus on the home front. The president has done a lot that has already paid off in lower interest rates and lower inflation, but we inherited a disaster from Joe Biden and Rome wasn’t built in a day. We’re going to keep on working to make a decent life affordable in this country, and that’s the metric by which we’ll ultimately be judged in 2026 and beyond.”

SUMMARY

The 2025 Election highlights what might turn out to be the fatal flaw of our short-lived American experiment. That fatal flaw is this: How do we prevent people who do not share our American values from becoming part of our American government?

While I do not support an official Christian nation, I WOULD support an official American nation, one in which political parties cannot exist that do not agree with our values.

Since we have no such mechanism, anti-Americanists were free to walk right into our sacred lands and gently nudge us away from Americanism and into progressivism. They seek to return us to the regressive ancient form of government that presumed the state had all power to make of your life what it wills according to its own interpretation of what’s good and bad for your life.

Young adults growing up were led to believe that this already mixed economy (socialism and capitalism) is a reflection of capitalism alone. So, they vote for the part of our economy that makes it dystopian, the socialist part. With no gatekeepers to assure anti-Americanists couldn’t run for office, or be employed by state institutions, the progressives were free to walk right through our open gates.

Now, after 100 plus years of parasitical existence, the virus within America, progressivism, is ready to kill the hijacked American cell and make it a fully progressive one. People who don’t know the history of moral supremacist regimes have no understanding of the bloodshed they are voting for whenever they support a Democrat in current year.

Unfortunately, voting for a Republican hasn’t stopped the progressives so far, even when Republicans win, so one has to doubt, at this point, if the GOP is a total failed project (as this writer supports that it is).

The Progmerican problem is that while they ARE a full nation within our own (with more major institutions than our own at this point), they still have a full nation, America, existentially opposed to them (though that nation, America, has not quite yet recognized itself fully, though it is very close to happening even as I write).

Fortunately, their efforts to disarm Americans have been most effective in lands populated by treasonous progressives themselves (AMERICAN lands we MUST reclaim).

We Americans are still well-armed and filled with Veterans and retired police officers who understand how to fight guerilla wars. This is a blessing, but also a curse, as it makes it more likely a social civil war with occasional shooting becomes a fully hot civil war (which is NOT something this writer supports).

Tens of millions of human beings that we interact with every day, our neighbors, for one reason or another, have been captured by this anti-American host. There is no solution that involves plainly speaking truth to most of these people, for they are emotionally tied to a narrative that’s not easy to break.

If you say “America,” they will call it a dog whistle for white supremacism, a lie told to them by information terrorists and child abusers (the DNC media, public-school teachers and college professors).

Next to the DNC media, this group has the most reckoning it needs to face, for it has been brutalizing children for decades on our dimes, training them to hate their parents, their country, and, for white children, their own skins.

School shootings aren’t a gun problem, they’re a schoolteacher terrorizing children and school districts medicating children problem.

They are fighting the evil in the world, America, the white race, and they truly believe we are evil, for information terrorists in the media and the classrooms have been traumatizing our children with these lies.

This leads our children to believe that when they murder, they execute murderers; when they cheat, they tactically outsmart you; when they unperson you for your beliefs, they’re fighting the oppression they are SURE your words will cause.

THEY BELIEVE THIS, IT’S NOT A DELUSION TO THEM!

They are fighting the evil of the world, us. The information terrorists have made all our effective language counters to their lies “dog whistles” of Nazism. When you speak truth, they hear Nazi dog whistles. Speak of integrity, it’s white supremacism, speak of empiric facts, it’s white supremacism.

In the last part of our series, Detaining the Donkey, I will offer you my solutions to our woes as well as my predictive analysis of what’s about to happen over the next few months. Those that can should shore up what they can, build mutual support networks of friends and family, and prepare for a life where you have to provide for yourselves for a little while.

There are two nations within, and neither can afford to let the other continue to exist now that we clearly know of our mutual, existentially opposed, existences.

After this election, there is no doubt in my mind that what I suspected long ago is true, and now processing that reality is difficult. But I exist in a story larger than America, I exist in the gospel story. Yet even in that gospel story I can find reason to be a good steward of my people, Americans, and, like the exiles after the fall of Samaria and Judah, I will serve whatever country God puts me in, including this one.

We shall stand or fall together, my fellow Americans. The time to face the reality of two nations with one land is here and so far, it appears no one in charge (including Trump and the GOP) either understands where we’re headed or wants to stop it.

The voters in these blue states made it clear, they want war. I am afraid, war might be coming very soon.

If the progressives win, I will be a good steward of their nation until they compel me to defy God’s law (assuming I survive their inevitable purge of “evil” such regimes always carry out, from Pol Pot to Stalin).

Daniel, Jospeh both show this stewardship. But Esther, perhaps, shows it best in our context.

Esther learned of a plot to have her people, the Jews, murdered. While she was Queen, she had no right to come to the King unless he sent for her. Her Uncle, Mordeci, didn’t plot an overthrow of the King, rather he sought to have his niece plead his case.

Esther faced death to enter the King’s court unsolicited, but fortunately for her the King, Ahasuerus, welcomed her, leading to her turning the tables on the man who plotted to kill her people, Haman (who hung on the gallows he had built for her Uncle).

So here we are, ready to be good stewards of whatever nation God calls us into, through exile or liberation, whichever it might be. Do all we can, without violence, to stop the progressive nation from conquering us from within but accept their role as an instrument of God’s judgment should they be victorious.

And yes, risk death, but don’t take it, like Esther did, until they had civic authority to do so (which she did through the King’s edicts he declared for her).

The U.S. has announced that anti-white DEI policies from nations such as the UK are an infringement of human rights, setting up a potential for sanctions down the road against “DEI countries” like Canada, Australia, and the UK. Reuters’ “straight” news claims such anti-white practices are the “centerpiece of traditional U.S. promotion of democratic values.” It’s afraid.

New US rules say countries with DEI policies are infringing human rights  Reuters

 U.S. officials will consider enforcement of affirmative action policies and state subsidies for abortion as infringements when compiling the State Department’s annual human rights report, as President Donald Trump’s administration seeks to reshape foreign policy in line with “America First” principles.
Under the Trump administration, the human rights issue has been repurposed to fit his priorities in favor of economic dealmaking and an agenda he sees as appealing to his MAGA base. That has included a complete overhaul of the State Department’s human rights apparatus, which had long been the centerpiece of traditional U.S. promotion of democratic values.

What will never be fully comprehensible is why there are so many people who hate everything about America yet still wish to live here. Not only that, but they seem determined to turn it into the countries they ran away from. Something does not add up.

Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud claims he “disavows the term melting pot” because his city is not a “soup where everything looks the same.” They are a “salad bowl,” if you will, where “the lettuce is lettuce, the tomatoes are tomatoes, and the cucumbers are cucumbers, and they all complement each other.”

A bipartisan coalition of pro-Ukraine lawmakers will seek to force a House vote to impose crippling sanctions on Russia, even as President Donald Trump is moving to swiftly clinch a peace deal between the two warring nations.

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) said in an X post Friday that he and his allies have “officially notified both the Clerk of the House and House leadership of our discharge petition to force a vote on crushing Russian sanctions immediately upon our return” from the Thanksgiving holiday recess.

Fitzpatrick was responding to news that Trump wants the Ukrainian government to approve the draft peace deal assembled by his envoy Steve Witkoff no later than Thursday. The plan would cede vast portions of eastern Ukraine to Russia in exchange for a security guarantee from western nations.

Earlier this week, the American people were “reliably” informed by the left-wing press that the full grand jury that indicted disgraced former FBI Director James Comey did not see the final indictment.

“Judge grills government over apparent lapses in Comey indictment,” ABC News’ Peter Charalambous, Alexander Mallin, Katherine Faulders, and Nicholas Kerr wrote on November 19. According to the quartet, U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan “told a judge … that the full grand jury that indicted Comey did not see the final indictment — only the foreperson and another grand juror did.”

It was the same claim made by The Guardian’s Sam Levine, who headlined his piece: “Full grand jury didn’t see final Comey indictment, prosecutors admit.”

From our watchtower here at the Media Research Center, we have identified a recent and nasty trend emerging from the Elitist Media. It’s called “Trumpwashing”: that phenomenon wherein the media withhold covering some Democrat scandal until President Donald Trump opines on it, with President Trump’s statement being covered as if it were the scandal, rather than the underlying and until now suppressed Democrat event.

The latest instance of a Trumpwashed scandal: the video, published by six Democrat members of Congress calling on members of the Armed Forces and Intelligence Agencies to disobey unspecified “illegal” orders. The media held their tongues on the video until Trump spoke up, and the rest is history.

As an evidentiary sample, we submit for your consideration the totality of the Trumpwashed report aired on NBC Nightly News (click “expand” to view full transcript):

In an astonishing victory, 34-year-old state legislator Zohran Mamdani won New York City’s mayoral election. Defeating former state Governor Andrew Cuomo, who enjoyed strong backing from US President Donald Trump and the political establishment, Mamdani became the city’s first Muslim immigrant mayor and its youngest in more than a century. The democratic socialist’s victory sent shock waves through national politics, emboldening progressives across the country to run and to win on agendas as unapologetically ambitious as the moment demands.

Campaigning across the city, Mamdani reached out to various social groups, including African Americans, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, East Africans and South Asians, and especially the youth, many of whom had grown politically disengaged after the Democratic Party’s demoralising performance in recent years. He brought people back into the political process, mobilising voters who otherwise might have stayed home.

The justice department is investigating how two Trump allies handled the investigation into whether California senator, Adam Schiff, committed mortgage fraud, according to a copy of a subpoena obtained by the Guardian and a person familiar with the matter.

The office of the deputy attorney general Todd Blanche is overseeing the inquiry, which appears to have developed as an offshoot of the main case into Schiff – a notable development since the justice department is essentially investigating activities of two close allies of the president.

A federal grand jury in Maryland, where prosecutors are investigating the mortgage allegations against Schiff, issued the subpoena to Christine Bish, an associate of federal housing finance agency (FHFA) chief Bill Pulte and a Republican congressional candidate in California.
