Gingrich: Democrats abandon centrism for big government socialism

By Newt Gingrich | Commentary, Substack The big government socialist wing has become the dominant force in what used to be a much more centrist Democratic Party. This week Sen. Elizabeth Warren aggressively endorsed Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York and attacked former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Eric Adams. It’s clear where the energy and drive in the Democratic Party is. Of course, Mamdani’s win in the New York City mayoral Democratic primary was heralded by an astounding number of Democrats comfortable voting for explicit socialist Senator Bernie Sanders in his 2016 presidential campaign. Running against establishment favorite Hillary Clinton, the Vermont socialist received 43 percent of the vote. When 12 million Americans were willing to turn the White House over to an avow...

DEVINE: Democrats Brace as Russiagate Cover-Up Unravels in Public View

By Miranda Devine | Commentary, New York Post Despite the best efforts of Russiagate-complicit media to dismiss as “Russian disinformation” the latest revelations in this escalating scandal implicating President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in the treasonous “years-long coup” against President Trump, the public is paying attention and wants heads to roll. According to a Rasmussen poll released Monday, nearly two-thirds of voters (65%) are following declassified releases over the past month by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) “very closely” (32%) or “somewhat closely” (33%), repudiating the calculated media silence about the Obama administration’s fake narratives and manipulation of intelligence to frame Trump as a Kremlin ...

New poll: Republicans seen as having the clearer plan for the country

By Victoria Balara | Fox News Yet the Republican Party loses ground to the Democrats on handling key issues With the 2026 midterm elections more than a year away, a new Fox News survey finds that while the Republican Party has lost some ground to the Democratic Party on handling key issues, voters are more likely to think the GOP has a clear plan for dealing with the country’s problems.  The survey, released Thursday, finds that by a 10-point margin, more voters think the Republicans have a clear plan for the U.S. than the Democrats: 43% vs. 33%.  Still, majorities feel neither the GOP (54%) or the Democrats (64%) have a plan. This is about where sentiment was three years ago, the last time the question was asked.  Far more Republicans (79%) than D...

Jerkovich: Latest poll confirms Democrats are losing the middle

By Katie Jerkovich | RedState Democrats have been something to watch since President Donald Trump's victory in November, and a new poll shows their antics attempting to resist everything about President Trump's second term, from anti-ICE protests to blocking the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill, have backfired. A new I&I/TIPP Insights poll found that most voters see the Democrat Party as "too radical." And with the likes of Rep. Alexandria-Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) parading radical Muslim socialist Zohran Mamdani around Washington, D.C, after his victory in New York City's Democrat mayoral primary race, is it really any wonder why they feel that way? As RedState reported, people like veteran Democratic strategist James Carville have tried to sound the alarm...

Dem Insider Carville Admits He’s ‘Praying’ for Economic Collapse for a Chance to Beat Trump

 By Gabriel Hays | Fox News Some Democratic strategists are so desperate for the party to start performing better, that they’re hoping for the economy to tank. A report from The Hill on Tuesday quoted several Democratic strategists reflecting on what they see as the dismal state of the Democratic Party. One said the party should be "praying" for a depression as a lifeline for their declining popularity following President Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory. "This is a nightmare scenario for the Dems right now," an anonymous strategist told the outlet. "We better pray long and hard that the country is going to be in a f‑‑‑--- depression, because I don’t know how else we find ourselves out of this mess." The Hill report prefaced that sobering impression of the Democratic Party ...

Democrat Lawmakers Warn: Our Own Base Is Demanding Violence

By Byron York | The Washington Examiner DISTURBING GLIMPSES OF DEMOCRATIC ANGER. We know many Democrats were stunned when Donald Trump won a second term as president. We know many are still angry about it. But we’re just now learning how angry some of them are. It’s not just grandstanding Democratic lawmakers like Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX). Axios reports that “at town halls in their districts and in one-on-one meetings with constituents and activists,” Crockett’s more centrist Democratic House colleagues are “facing a growing thrum of demands to break the rules, fight dirty — and not be afraid to get hurt.” “Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough,” said one Democratic lawmaker (out of nine) quoted in the Axios article. “Some of them have suggested …...

No Cash, No Confidence–Dems May Borrow Just to Stay Afloat

By Kendall White, Ryan King and Steven Nelson | New York Post Democrats’ main fundraising committee is losing big donors and so cash-strapped that its officials have discussed borrowing money just to keep the lights on, with one source spilling to The Post that if things don’t turn around before the 2026 midterms, the party is “f–ked.” “We are six months in and we’re drowning,” a source close to the Democratic National Committee told The Post about the current rate of contributions. “The RNC was so cash-heavy and hitting us day after day after day when Biden was president.” “We have no clear path or plan,” they added. “The midterms are going to come before we know it, and then we’re going to be really f–ked.” The DNC’s struggle to message against the Trump administration and ra...

Van Jones: Conversation needed in Democratic Party over ‘anti-Jewish bigots’ following Walz pick

By Yash Roy | The Hill CNN commentator Van Jones called for conversations about antisemitism in the Democratic party after Vice President Harris announced Tuesday that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) would be her running mate on the November ballot. “You can be for the Palestinians without being an anti-Jewish bigot, but there are some anti-Jewish bigots out there,” Jones said Tuesday on CNN, following the announcement. “And there has to be conversations about how much of what just happened is caving into some of these darker parts in the party. So that’s going to have to get worked out. It’s going to have to get talked through.”  “So here’s the challenge you’ve got in this party, and people don’t want to talk about it,” Jones continued. “We got to talk about ...

Hammer: The bloodless coup of Joe Biden will not work out well for Democrats

By Josh Hammer  | Commentary, The Daily Signal The Democratic Party ruling class’ bloodless coup of their own democratically elected presidential nominee, who also happens to be the nominal sitting president of the United States, is one of the most astonishing political developments of my lifetime. Joe Biden, though clearly physically and mentally impaired, has sought the presidency for quite literally longer than I have been alive. Biden had been defiant ever since the June 27 presidential debate debacle that he was not going anywhere, despite overwhelming pressure from party elites and sycophantic media lap dogs demanding he do precisely that. He has a Lady Macbeth-like wife who craves power and he has a felonious son in desperate need of a presidential pardon. Yet the...

Ready or not, DNC gives would-be Harris rivals three days to declare, could push for VP pick in a week

By ELENA SCHNEIDER | Politico If anyone is going to challenge Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic presidential nomination, they have only until this weekend to do it. Delegates to the Democratic National Convention rules committee approved the virtual roll call on Wednesday, moving ahead with a July 30 deadline for candidates seeking to collect delegate signatures to appear on the virtual roll call. The virtual roll call, which must be completed by Aug. 7 to comply with Ohio ballot access deadlines, could start as early as next Thursday. The compressed timeline — nominating Harris less than two weeks after President Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race — nearly guarantees the vice president’s path to the nomination, given the wide swath of support she’s picked...
