The Democrats' long plod to November features a new wave of unimaginably detestable idiot candidates mixed with some old-guard cameos

Over at InstapunditStephen Green asks What in the Actual Hell Is a Democrat These Days? 

Allow Damian Bennett to provide an answer:

With must-win competitive campaigns to control at least one chamber of Congress to thwart Mean Mr. Mustard, the Ds have raided central casting for unelectable crazies and Schweinehunde.

If any evidence is needed, t'is provided by our old pal from Virginny. After reviewing Damian's four exhibits, be sure to read his Coda in the final couple of paragraphs…


Big Fatties Enter DNC 2026 Thunderdome
Democrat Party: 
"Pay Attention. THIS is who we are."

The Democrats' long plod to November features a new wave of unimaginably detestable idiot candidates mixed with some old-guard cameos. With must-win competitive campaigns to control at least one chamber of Congress to thwart Mean Mr. Mustard, the Ds have raided central casting for unelectable crazies and Schweinehunde.* Let's take a look at some of the headliners.
* This makes the mid-terms the Republicans' to lose. [Hard sigh.] Hold your bets.

Exhibit A: Eric Swalwell (xCA-D)
Given enough rope, a Democrat hangs him/herself. Swalwell, a go-to media cudgel for beating on the Trump WH, had been fed so much rope he hung himself from the high gallows of frontpage headlines, page six tattle, and 'breaking' chiron crawls. When the trap opened, it was his mentor groomer, Nancy Pelosi, pulled the lever and left him to twist in the wind. Where he dangles to this very day.
Exhibit B: The Clingy Bidens
Will the nation never be free of the Bidens? The Bidens aspire to American royalty of sorts, part Borgia Court, part Lady MacBeth, part Ubu Roi.
You know, ON SECOND THOUGHT...
On to the next grift.
Democrat Jew-hate is now out in the open -- and what a relief! No more pretending it's a beef with Israel. No more threatening just Zionists. Nope, it's back to basics with straight up Nat-ZEE guy.   
Exhibit D: James Talarico
James Talarico is the DNC's idea of a Christian Democrat, that is to say a full-bore Democrat with a Sunday side hustle -- who is not an Episcopalian (he's Presbyterian). They are running him in TX as Beto lifted from the grave.
Talarico is a 'Christian' much the same as Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden are 'Catholic', which is to say they are neither Christian nor Catholic. What they are are hardcore cutthroat Democrats. It is NOT Christianity that informs Talarico policy, it's the DNC
It's endless crazy[Thoughtful pause.] Talarico does know he's running for statewide office in TX, yes? 
CODA
Here's a Q, how does a national party on the 20% side of every 20/80 issue manage competitive near parity with an opposition on the 80% side? One would think the 20 percenters would poll closer to their standing on the issues. [A terrible obvious insight occurs!] Could gerrymandering and ballot fuckery be the political 'miracle' that keeps the 20 percenters competitive? Or is it the dark powers and deep state hiding behind an illusionary democracy?

Be sure to register. Be sure to vote.

 

What are we gonna make of this British insanity? Asks VDH; Once a person is identified as a victim or the oppressed, that serves as a get out of jail card

 
Over at the Daily Signal, Victor Davis Hanson explains Britain’s ‘Sickly Reversed’ George Floyd Moment

 … when police arrived, [Henry Nowak] was on the ground bleeding out, clearly bleeding out and muttering, “I’m dying.”

What was the reaction of the police? Did they render immediate first aid and restrain [Vickrum Digwa]? No. No. What they did was they—Mr. Digwa then made up a lie, … that he had been a victim of racism, that Mr. Nowak had exchanged words that were racial in nature to him that prompted the stabbing.

So, what did the police do? They put handcuffs on the dying young Mr. Nowak. And of course, he died with the handcuffs without any medical attention at all.

 … at some point, the police finally caught on after Mr. Nowak died, or they had surveillance, or they had witnesses, that there had been no racial taunts, that that was a complete lie.

And they had watched and, in some ways, abetted the death of Mr. Nowak, who was a white male and was on the wrong side of the oppressor-oppressed binary, apparently.

What are we gonna make of this British insanity?

 … What can we learn from all this? We’ve talked about the problems with DEI. DEI not only destroys meritocracy and promotes people who did not earn that admission or that hiring based on widely accepted criteria that everybody accepts.

We’re an equal opportunity Western civilization. We are not a mandated equality of result, at least we weren’t until recently.

But there’s another wrinkle to DEI. Once a person is informally or formally, identified as a victim or the oppressed, that serves as a get out of jail card. That is the end of deterrence.

 … It’s also kind of tragic that the Sikh community has been one of the most hardworking, law-abiding communities of immigrants in America and in Europe.

And they’ve had a tendency to look at themselves as individuals, not as collectives. But it would be a shame if the Sikh community did not condemn members of their own community if they’re going to talk in collective terms.

They’re under no obligation to single out Mr. Digwa in Britain. But if they talk about the Sikh community, then they are, and they had.

One of the Sikh leaders in Great Britain said that now the Sikhs were subject to hate crimes. And so, he was trying to take the onus away from the murderer to now his community is victimized.

Wouldn’t it have been better for the Sikh leader to come out and say, “Mr. Digwa is not representative of our community.["?]

RARE COLOR FILM OF D-DAY JUNE 1944 AND THE BATTLE OF NORMANDY

 
Update: Rebecca Mansour brings Breitbart's readers D-Day in Photos: ‘The Free Men of the World Are Marching Together to Victory’.

Over at the All That's Interesting website, the site's crew proposes an archival newsreel from the summer of 1944 (bottom), along with a color film of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy until the liberation of Paris (above). It is part of an article focusing on the easternmost point of the five attacks, Sword Beach.  

(Samuel Warde's article seems a bit hastily-written, without clear-cut editing, as he twice mentions "the city of Caen/ The city of Caen" while he shows a photo of British paratroopers with a Pegasus mascot but fails to point out that Lord Lovat's men who "were given the task of moving swiftly off the beach and joining up with the paratroopers … inland" did so at the captured crossing point code-named… Pegasus Bridge, one of the most eventful events during D-Day.)

Units of the British 2nd Army along with French commandos first landed on Sword Beach at 7:25 a.m. led by Lt. Gen. Miles Dempsey. Additionally, they were supported by paratroopers who landed in zones located a short distance inland from the beach.

German defenses were much lighter at Sword Beach than at other landing sectors such as Omaha Beach and by 8:00 a.m., most of the fighting on the beach was concluded. At about 9:30 a.m., two squadrons of Royal Engineers had cleared seven of the eight intended exit lanes from Sword Beach.


A more disheartening story is something that remained hidden for three decades, as in Top Secret, a dress rehearsal for D-Day six weeks prior, which turned out to be disastrous, Exercise Tiger.  Marco Margaritoff has the whole story and all the details over at the All That's Interesting website.

The Battle of Normandy during World War II remains one of the most hallowed military efforts of the 20th century. Tens of thousands of Allied troops valiantly stormed five beaches in France as part of the effort to liberate western Europe from the Nazis and create a second front to defeat the Axis Powers. But D-Day was almost canceled after a training operation known as Exercise Tiger went awry. 

Six weeks before the invasion of Normandy, American troops gathered at Slapton Sands in Devon, England, to rehearse for the upcoming battle. From the beginning of the exercise, things went terribly wrong. First, communication issues led to casualties when thousands of men were dropped into a practice bombardment. Then, the Germans attacked.

Patrol ships were meant to be guarding the bay from enemy vessels, but several German E-boats managed to slip by. In the early morning hours of April 28, 1944, they fired torpedoes at the tank landing ships that were part of the operation, sinking two of them and killing hundreds of men.

By the time Exercise Tiger was over, an estimated 749 American troops had perished.

“Liberalize, debureaucratize, de-administer”: Without Freedom, There Is No Salvation for Europe


Without liberalism (in the original sense of the word), writes Sébastien Laye in his prognosis for France's next presidential election, there is no salvation.

What is necessary is for the next (or, true to tell, for the current!) administration in Paris to “Liberalize, debureaucratize, de-administer”, according to Sébastien Laye in Valeurs Actuelles: indeed, the 2027 presidential election will hinge on the economy (merci à Sarah pour l'Instalien).

Doxxing & Double Standards: In Case You Are Wondering, Here Is the Real Reason Why ICE Officers Are Masked


So you don't understand why federal agents are masked as they carry out their duties and you even think it is indicative of the Trump administration's alleged authoritarianism or even fascism?

Allow  to provide the explanation on Fox News

On Thursday evening outside of Newark’s Delaney Hall detention center, protesters were accused of biting, kicking and punching agents

Protesters? Or hysterical members of a mob? One of the drama queens can be heard bellowing at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer: 

"I will kill your whole f-cking family. Your whole f-cking family is dead. Your children and wife — all dead. I have your face motherf-cker! You're dead! Dead!" 

"That’s a federal crime," Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche said on "The Will Cain Show". "Not only threatening the ICE officer — but think about how disgusting this individual is by threatening his wife and his children with death." 

The extremist who was eventually arrested turns out to be one Nicolas Scelfo, a brave and fearless revolutionary who was "previously charged with sexual abuse of children related to the dissemination and possession of child pornography."

This is not an outlier — far from it. Back in December 2025, reported,

Two New Jersey brothers were arrested … on charges tied to terroristic threats against DHS chief Kristi Noem’s top public-facing deputy, including alleged vows to "shoot ICE agents on sight." 

Besides posting medieval torture threats, the twins Antonio Roman-Flores and Emilio Roman-Flores added that

"We Americans should find you, tar you, feather you, and hang you as we did to anyone serving tyrants before the Revolutionary War." 

(Historically, FYI, either you tar and feather someone, or you hang them. Rarely — if ever — do you do both. I.e., either the alleged offense warrants tarring and feathering as a punishment or it is so egregious that it warrants nothing less than execution.)  

Useful Reminder: From child pornographers to women killers via reckless drivers, here are a handful of examples of the type of illegal alien who has been targeted by ICE.


No wonder there is so much hostility towards ICE agents (and their families) when they are constantly being described as fascists and Nazis. And it's not just random thugs in the street, either. From town halls (Boston's Mayor Michelle Wu) to the hallowed halls of Congress (New York Representative Jerry Nadler) comes a steady stream of hysterical invective against Donald Trump and the people serving in his government.

Related: No Wonder There Is So Much Hostility to Trump and the Republicans When They Are Constantly Being Called Racists, Nazis, and a Threat to Democracy

As Stephen Green writes, it is correct that ideally,

Federal agents shouldn’t be masked — but there’s really no alternative when the Left has turned to doxxing and violence.  

With Mike LaChance adding a point or two about the Left's double standards: 

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and other Democratic figures are calling for the exposure of ICE agents, demanding that their masks be removed so they can be identified. Members of ICE wear masks because they are facing death threats against them and their families. Democrats are putting their lives at risk over this.

Of course, Democrats have never called for members of Antifa or the anti-Israel campus radicals to be unmasked. Curious, isn’t it?

 … Go back and look at [Legal Insurrection's] extensive coverage of anti-Israel protesters on college campuses over the last two years. You know what you’ll find they all have in common? All of the protesters are wearing masks.

Democrats have never called for them to be unmasked. That tells you everything you need to know.

They want and need anarchy, adds JEFFREY CARTER

My old liberal acquaintances are very upset with Trump. They are posting all over LinkedIn about the “rule of law”. Pretty clear they have no understanding of the law. They wonder why ICE agents are wearing masks. Maybe it’s a fear of Covid, but I’m joking. Masks never worked for Covid. They are wearing masks because terrorist organizations like ANTIFA are threatening them and their families with violence.

It’s pretty clear the Democrats have chosen violence as the next level of escalation. Charlie Kirk was murdered in cold blood. A Virginia Attorney General candidate threatens to put bullets in the heads of the Virginia Speaker of the House and his children. There are no calls from any Virginia Democrat for him to step down, let alone any Democrat.

As it happens, it turns out that the Antifa Thugs in Portland and Newark Laying Siege to ICE detention facilities are PAID. Could the same be said of, say (oh, I dunno), the January 6 protesters?

Incidentally (not): ever wonder why most congress policemen were not wearing masks on January 6? Could it be they knew that they, not to mention their families, had nothing to fear from the J6 protesters (real protesters, not mob agitators)? Glenn Reynolds lays it out bare: 

This is much more violent than January 6. January 6 was American citizens acting like Americans. This is enemies of America acting like enemies.

Do You Remember the Politicians that Johnny Carson Hosted on His Show? I Didn't Think So…


Remember Johnny Carson? Can you imagine one of the candidates for the governor of one of America's 50 states (winner or loser) appearing on Johnny's Tonight Show? Well, a couple of decades after King of Late Night TV's retirement, Stacey Abrams appeared on one of his successors' evening shows: and the (repeatedly failed) Georgia candidate did so no less than four times! 

Do you remember any politician who turned up as a guest on the shows of Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, or David Letterman? I didn't think so. There were a few, I'm sure, and I learned later (only thanks to YouTube) that governor Reagan did show up on Carson — back in the 1970s — while I remember Barack Obama making an appearance as president chez David Letterman. (Thanks for the Instalink, Sarah Hoyt, a wise woman who points out that ALL OUR CURRENT POLITICIANS ARE THEATER KIDDIES or, if you prefer, Cosplayers.)

But besides a small handful, not many come to mind… By contrast, politicians are just about the only people that do come to mind with regards to Stephen Colbert, with the possible exception of Jon Stewart who famously went head-on — to Colbert's utter bemusement — against the left's narrative on the Covid virus. 

Instapundit's bloggers, not least among them Ed Driscoll, have been the ones to follow on this story, showing off a dozen Democrats, one politician after another, giving support to the embattled Colbert, many if not all of whom were guests (along with… the husband of Kamala Harris) of the latter over the years. 

In fact, the statistics given were truly mind-boggling — some 180 politicians appeared on Colbert, all of them Democrats, with the single solitary Republican among them turning out to be a RINO as well as a fellow TDS sufferer, to wit Dick Cheney's daughter Liz.

No wonder that when he finally went off the air, Instapundit's Sarah Hoyt linked to a story saying, tongue-in-cheek (no, not really), that the Democratic Party Gives Stephen Colbert Heartfelt Thanks for His Service.

Spain's Zapatero: Another Compassionate Leftist's Welfare Heroics Prove to Hide a World of Scamming, One of Hardly Believable Magnitude

It turns out that another one of Europe's patented humanists, a compassionate leftist who doubled as a valiant foe of ths United States, proves to be little more than a scammer, one of hardly believable (i.e., of criminal) magnitude (gracias a la Señora Sarah Hoyt de Instapundit). Washington Examiner's Jose Lev Alvarez breaks the story:
Spain’s National Court made history last week by placing former Socialist Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero under investigation for allegedly leading a criminal network engaged in influence peddling, money laundering, document forgery, and related offenses. 
(Filed in the Rules for thee, but not for me department.) Do you remember how Zapatero won his (dubious) victory as prime minister in the first place? Besides a horrific terrorist action that killed or injured 2600 people, anti-Americanism — and betrayal of the White House (in time of war) — was central to the socialist's victory (details below).
 … Investigators are also examining alleged links to Venezuelan regime money tied to PDVSA oil schemes and the CLAP food program, whose corruption devastated ordinary Venezuelans. … This scandal reveals Zapatero as one of former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro’s most valuable international assets. 
 
 … Zapatero’s alleged ownership [of the Orinoco Mining Arc gold mine] implicates him in [an] ecological and humanitarian catastrophe. 
 
 … As prime minister, Zapatero supplied Iran with dual-use technology and authorized Spain’s largest-ever arms export 
 
 … The scandal indicts Spain’s Socialist establishment. As Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s government faces its own corruption controversies, Zapatero’s exposure underscores how “dialogue” and “progressive” internationalism [not to mention heroic anti-Americanism] can conceal both personal enrichment and willful blindness to dictatorship. 
I often say that the dream of the world's leftists is to make a world where all citizens are de facto welfare recipients (an update from the serfs and the peasants that they used to be during feudalism and in prior eras). 
 
This, far from incidentally, in turn explains why there is so much anti-Americanism in the world, since statists in the United States as well as in the rest of the world are enraged that Americans (i.e., common citizens) made a rich and successful country with the minimal involvement of politicians and bureaucrats — and not only that but indeed made it the richest and the most successful country on the planet.
 
Spain — and "the mafia that governs" the country  — provides one heck of a perfect example of that. Recall how Zapatero became Spain's prime minister in the first place. In August 2004 (most 2004 hyperlinks now broken), the International Herald Tribune's John Vinocur went back over his (dubious) victory while characterizing the mindset of the European press perfectly: "its logic running that since intelligent Europe hates [George W Bush] so, how could any decent, non-fascistic American contemplate voting Republican?"

José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, Spain's prime minister, says he does not want to talk about Islamic terrorism. … "I never talk about Islamic terrorism, but international terrorism," Zapatero told Le Monde in an interview marking his first 100 days in office.

A couple of background details enter here. Zapatero's Socialists got elected in March after a murderous Madrid railway station bombing that was undoubtedly planned by Islamic terrorists to affect the election's outcome. An extreme long shot before the attack, the Socialists had campaigned on the theme that Spain would pay for José María Aznar's backing of the United States in Iraq. …

A bit like newspapers that avoid the word "cancer" in obituaries with the explanation that they are sparing sensitive readers, [the secularist] Zapatero is keeping Islamic fundamentalists out of the discussion of terrorism because, he says, Islam is a religion with hundreds of millions of followers "which, like all the religions in the history of humanity, involves an element of religious fanaticism."

The IHT's John Vinocur went on to describe Zapatero's first actions when the new PM reached La Moncloa, Spain's government house.
The detoxed Spain of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, it was pledged, was going to rush back into the family-like warmth of the European Union, and rush home its troops from Iraq. In a whoosh, it would rejoin the community of the just, and end what the new Socialist government called the country's miscast role as superpower-adjunct of the Americans.

Promise keepers, the new guys did what they said they would in their first full week on the job. For which they got something short of an international standing ovation.
Four years after his defeat, the incumbent José Maria Aznar, a vibrant supporter of Bush, had the following to say about the 2004 elections:
Frankly, the left exploited this tragedy. … All the polls were clear: without these attacks, which the left capitalized on, we would have won the elections. What's terrible is that instead of blaming the terrorists, they blamed the government! 
 
 … every day, it becomes clearer that the terrorists achieved their objective: to manipulate the electoral process. This is a crucial point for all democracies to consider—insofar as this phenomenon risks recurring. The decision to withdraw Spanish troops from Iraq, which was made in violation of Spain's international commitments and the promises Mr. Zapatero himself had made during the election campaign, was considered by the terrorists to be a significant victory. And when terrorists achieve a victory, they become stronger… 
 
If you ask me if Chamberlain resembles Zapatero, I would answer… that Chamberlain had more depth and even more courage than Zapatero! Indeed, after having collaborated with the Nazis, Chamberlain, at least, had the courage to leave with dignity. 
By standing up to the accursed Republican in the White House, Zapo, also known as Bambi and (on this blog) as El Zap and el caniche de Chiraque, was described as a totemic figure for the Spanish left, who, like his successor Pedro Sánchez, was/is hailed as a humanist champion, another paladin in Europe's pantheon of heroes giving lessons on civility and compassion and peace-making and humanity to America's neanderthals.
 
But also to Europe's neanderthals, it turns out: Likewise blinded to any problematics associated with Islam, Pedro Sánchez (following in the footsteps of Tony Blair and duly lionized in the New York Times for being "Trump's nemesis") has allowed half a million illegal aliens in Spain, many of them Muslims, to become regularized. At a Podemos party rally in Zaragoza, to "chilling" applause, a drama queen like Irene Montero bellowed at the top of her lungs: 
“We have obtained papers and regularization. And now we are going to go for citizenship or change the law so that they can vote, of course. Hopefully, replacement theory, hopefully we can rid this country of fascists and racists with migrants, with working people.”  
Cross the Atlantic: As California and other states seem to be heading in the direction of fraud-soaked Minnesota (the home for many Scandinavian immigrants in the 19th century), it appears that the various welfare systems throughout the American nation might be little more than a scam.

But for the statists, American and foreign alike — whether they turn out to be true believers or hypocritical conspirators — the international situation is far worse than that.

In view of the fact that the global left's major talking point — that leftists like the Democrats and all the Socialist-leaning Europeans — are far more tolerant and compassionate than the egotistical brutes in the capitalistic United States (or, at least, then the neanderthals of America's Republican Party), it would be highly problematic if the welfare systems throughout the rest of the West — and the rest of the world — proved to be a scam as well.

That is what might be happening in the region — Scandinavia — whose countries are often lauded as the very top model of a healthy government and a healthy nation. Certainly, Norway's reputation for honesty and humility, for good governance, and for “least corrupt in the world” rankings has been taking broadside after broadside in the wake of the Epstein Scandal.

And if Norway turns out to be so filled with (for want of a better word) corruption, can Sweden and Denmark be far behind?
 
At this point, a final question that comes to mind is: What is the international left (not excluding America's Democratic Party) if not a cult of irresponsibility filled with drama queens, Sophomoric Teens, Intrepid Cosplayers, and Would-Be Heroes?

French TV: Is Trump Chickening Out? Has the Strait of Hormuz Turned into a "Groundhog Day" Loop? Will Netanyahu Still Be Israel's PM a Few Months from Now?

A true friend of America, Philippe Karsenty seems to have become a feature on BFMTV, appearing no less than half a dozen times in the space of about one week, which in turn seems to be bringing him a measure of celebrity (or, in the eyes of the left, of infamy), earning him the mockery of French humorists in the vein of Colbert and Kimmel. 

When the many guests, most of them left-leaning, asked whether the Strait of Hormuz is on a "Groundhog Day" loop (videos at all the links), the spokesman for the Comité Trump France strikes back at the TDS sufferers, who claim that Donald Trump has made no headway in the Iran war, with outright incredulity (3:43-5:55, 9:51-10:55, 11:40-12:33, 13:41-14:58).

The following day, Philippe Karsenty appeared on BFMTV's 60 Minutes (Soixante Minutes in French) to answer questions whether POTUS47, (falsely) nicknamed TACO, chickened out in the face of Iran (2:17, 12:26-15:38, 23:52-25:00, 29:52-30:55), saying Trump is the only American president who has "shown courage" against what is nothing less than "the Iranian devils."

A week later, the spokesman for the Comité Trump France was back on BFMTV (4:24-7:17, 18:50-19:13, 20:20-21:05, 22:00-23:23, 29:06-30:10, 33:45-34:07), telling his fellow guests that it is time to stop allowing the ayatollahs' terrorist régime to blackmail the rest of the world. He also reveals the bombshell news item that the Trump administration is counting on the fact that, within a matter of months, Netanyahu will be out of a job, with some other person in the seat of Israel's PM… Surprisingly,  let Philippe have the last word…

That same evening, Philippe warns of a catastrophe should Tehran's "apocapytic power" be allowed to survive and continue its racket (5:10, 6:06-8:14, 9:50-10:40, 13:26-14:00), stating that "I do not understand — and I tell that very objectively — why there is not an international coalition to force Iran to back down" with the ultimate aim of bringing an end to the Ayatollahs' government once and for all.

Finally, Philippe Karsenty provocative statement that "Free Palestine" is the modern era's "Heil Hitler" (it means nothing less than the eradication of the Jews) was brought to the attention of France's humorists, the country's equivalents of Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel. It has led the spokesman for the Comité Trump France (the name of the organization brought instant laughter) to be ridiculed on Radio Nova by the likes of Guillaume Meurice, a man who was fired from France-Inter for anti-semitism. Philippe wasn't too upset, though, and seemed to bear no grudges as this "beacon of thought piercing the darkness" did not deny the skit was passably amusing:
