Democracy is great, so long as Democrats win. When they don’t, democracy becomes a threat to Our Democracy. Handily, they have a solution, which is ultimately the leftist solution to everything: violence.

House Democrats told Axios they see a growing anger among their base that has, in some cases, morphed into a disregard for American institutions, political traditions and even the rule of law. …

Axios spoke to more than two dozen House Democrats for this story, with many requesting anonymity to offer candid insights about their interactions with constituents and activists.

Democrat officeholders have gotten themselves arrested in New Jersey and elsewhere by assaulting ICE agents for enforcing immigration law. Not good enough:

The grassroots wants more. “Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot” when visiting ICE facilities or federal agencies, a third House Democrat told Axios.

Calls for political violence have become explicit:

“Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough … [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public,” the lawmaker said.

A fourth House Democrat said constituents have told them “civility isn’t working” and to prepare for “violence … to fight to protect our democracy.”

The demographics of the most alarming maniacs won’t surprise anyone who has been watching Zohran Mamdani’s rise to power:

Many lawmakers said these voters tend to be white, well-educated and live in upscale suburban or urban neighborhoods.

Presenting the mindset of spoilt rotten liberal elite types having their first experience with not getting what they want:

“I actually said in a meeting, ‘When they light a fire, my thought is to grab an extinguisher,'” a ninth House Democrat told Axios.

“And someone at the table said, ‘Have you tried gasoline?'”

Reasoning with Democrats is not an option. No wonder these people want to deny us our right to self-defense.

It used to be that immigrants did not come to America to sponge, mooch, and loot — largely illegally — but to take advantage of American opportunity and to contribute. A case in point is Italians. The mark they made on New York is especially appreciated.

Italians are rightly proud of Christopher Columbus, one of history’s greatest heroes. He has been revered for centuries for spreading civilization to the formerly savage Western Hemisphere. But being a leftist, New York’s likely next mayor hates him for this:

Italian Americans were outraged at mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani Monday after a social media post resurfaced showing him flipping the bird at a statue of Christopher Columbus and calling for its removal.

The socialist Mamdani is seen in the tweet from June 2020 giving the middle finger to the back of the towering figure in Astoria, which is part of his state Assembly district.

When Zohran Mamdani barks “Take it down,” he doesn’t mean just the statue. He means what the statue represents.

The Hyde Amendment makes it illegal to spend federal tax dollars to execute inconvenient unborn babies. The Big Beautiful Spending Bonanza honors this by suspending federal payouts to the highly profitable abortion mill Planned Parenthood — if only for a single year. But then District Judge Indira Talwani stepped in:

A federal judge on Monday granted Planned Parenthood’s request to temporarily halt Medicaid funding cuts to the group’s health centers under a provision of Republicans’ new tax and spending package. …

Indira Talwani’s ruling … came just hours after Planned Parenthood sued over a provision that imposes a one-year ban on state Medicaid payments to health care nonprofits that also offer abortions and received more than $800,000 in federal funding in 2023.

The Founding Fathers planned for Congress to control the purse strings. But they have been overruled by Indira Talwani on behalf of the abortion industry.

The Supreme Court just issued a ruling on judicial overreach. Looks like it will need to issue another.

Talwani is an appointee of former President Obama.

It had to be either Obama or Biden. The damage they have wreaked by seeding the judiciary with ultraleft apparatchiks will last a generation.

Imagine if these people take over the Supreme Court, which Democrats have expressed a willingness to pack. The legislative and executive branches will be just for show; the arbitrary decrees of unelected judges will be the law of the land.

Regular Americans flew Old Glory and enjoyed backyard barbeque over the past holiday weekend. Among the Trantifa freaks infesting Portland, Independence Day was celebrated… differently:

The five feet ten inches tall, 260-pound suspect was booked into jail by Portland Police as an unidentified “Jane Doe” “female” after the suspect was released from hospital on July 5.

The “female” in question is named Trever Eugene Osterhout; however,

The 42-year-old satanist and LGBTQ+ activist uses the name “Trish Elizabeth Osterhout.”

Trevor/Trish looks serious about the satanism.

Here’s how he managed to find his way into jail — which isn’t easy in Portland:

Police took someone into custody Friday night who they said threatened people with a stick, cut someone with a knife, punched another person and “was so violent they had to be sedated” before being taken to a hospital.

Osterhout announced to an acquaintance, “I’m going to go to prison for killing somebody.” Then he started attacking people evidently at random, including a minor, shouting obscenities, and taunting police. Stun guns were used; then the police had to dogpile him to get him under control.

His personal background:

Osterhout previously served as a secretary of the LGBTQ+ Alliance in Merced, Calif. He was quoted in a local paper in 2019, repeating false claims about an epidemic of trans people being murdered in the United States. Osterhout lived as a heterosexual man and fathered several children in California. In one of his family photos, his young son is wearing makeup with him. He was accused of severe domestic violence previously in Stanislaus County, Calif.

It’s almost as if classic movies like Psycho and The Silence of the Lambs were on to something when they linked transsexualism to psychotic violence.

Please welcome Mr. Osterhout to the Transsexual Violence Hall of Horrors.

Media moonbats’ laser-like focus on finding fault with Trump makes them all the more cluelessly humorless. AP even fact-checked a joke Trump made about Alligator Alcatraz:

“Don’t run in a straight line. Run like this,” Trump said, as he moved his hand in a zigzag motion. “And you know what? Your chances go up about 1%.” Alligator experts suggest it is better to dash in one direction in the rare situation when the reptile gives chase, according to a website run by the University of Florida.

AP propagandists aren’t the only ones who missed the humor:

This was amplified by leftist websites like RawStory. They headlined it: “Trump’s guide to outrunning alligator gets fact-check — he wouldn’t make it far.”

Once again, the joke is on the liberal media.

“Broken arrow” is code for a military commander calling in an airstrike on his own overrun position. Globalist leftists have issued a broken arrow order against the USA.

From Jonathan Turley:

The most recent such call came from commentator Elie Mystal on “The Joy Reid Show” [last] week.

“Our country needs to be sanctioned,” he said. “We are the bad guys on the world stage. We are a menace to not only free people everywhere, but we are a menace to peaceful people everywhere at this point, and I’m not even going to say that we’ve only been a menace for the past three or four months.”

As the Human Q-Tip makes clear, it isn’t just that like spoilt children moonbats hate America for not voting the way the media told them to in 2024. They have always hated it. That’s why they have been working so hard for generations to destroy it from within.

A regular commentator on MSNBC, [Mystal] previously called the Constitution “trash” and urged not just the abolition of the U.S. Senate but also of “all voter registration laws.”

Democracy is a threat to Our Democracy because leftists don’t always get the results they want. That’s why they call in figurative airstrikes on their own country.

After Elon Musk bought Twitter with a pledge to dismantle its censorship system, former Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called upon Europe to use its infamous Digital Services Act to force him to censor fellow Americans.

Nina Jankowicz, the former head of Biden’s infamous Disinformation Governance Board, appeared recently before the European Parliament. She called upon the 27 EU countries to fight against the U.S., which she described as a global threat.

Democrat hatred of America is especially conspicuous this time of the year:

Others denounced America as the world’s villain with boycotts and protests during Fourth of July celebrations. …

In 2022, the Pima County, Arizona Democratic Party tweeted “F–k the Fourth” after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

This year, Fourth of July celebrations were canceled in Los Angeles under the claim that officials feared a mass arrest by ICE — rather implausible, considering that protests against ICE will be held as planned.

Nothing could be more anti-American than protesting against ICE for defending the country from foreign invasion. This is another example of the Left’s broken arrow tactic.

As they say, good fences make good neighbors. Americans are finally fed up with Mexicans unlawfully invading the country and then rioting when attempts are made to remove them. South of the border, Mexicans feel the same way about Americans who go down there to spend dollars:

In a role reversal that underscores a universal resentment of economic and social impacts caused by a major influx of foreigners, demonstrators marched in Mexico City on Friday to protest against the city’s status as a hot new residential destination for American ex-pats and remote workers. …

Angered by soaring rents they rationally blame on foreigners, hundreds of protesters marched through Condesa and Roma — two neighborhoods that are particularly popular with Americans living in or visiting Mexico City…

Some of the demonstrators started attacking businesses in Condesa and Roma, smashing windows, spray-painting graffiti, tearing down awnings, vandalizing cars, completely destroying a restaurant patio, and looting.

The signs on display are hilarious, in light of the unlawful colonization of the USA by Mexicans. Examples:

• Mexico For Mexicans
• Death To The Neo-Colonizer
• Gentrification = Neo-Colonization
• We Shouldn’t Feel Like Foreigners In Our Own Land

Others might define “neo-colonization” as the Third Worlder practice of surging into wealthier countries in such massive numbers as to alter the demographics.

Americans are accused of “gentrification” for coming in with money to spend — in contrast to Mexican illegal aliens in the USA, who tend to arrive penniless and often become dependent on the government. Another big difference is that the Americans are there legally.

A secure border should make everyone happy — except Democrats counting on Mexican votes.

Violent rhetoric and corresponding action against ICE agents attempting to defend the country have steadily escalated. This was only a matter of time:

A Texas police officer was shot in the neck late Thursday night during an apparent coordinated attack outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility, according to authorities.

Just before 11 p.m., officers from the Alvarado Police Department responded to reports of a suspicious person near the Prairieland ICE Detention Facility in Alvarado, Texas, CBS News reported. Upon arrival, officers encountered what appeared to be an armed individual, and when one officer attempted to engage, several suspects allegedly opened fire and struck the officer in the neck, police said.

This time, the officer was treated and released.

Early reporting suggests more than a dozen masked individuals dressed in black arrived at the ICE facility, vandalized vehicles and surveillance equipment, and launched fireworks — allegedly to draw law enforcement into a trap, CBS reported. Local officers, alongside the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, responded and helped apprehend the suspects.

Liberal activists attacking ICE agents and other law enforcement in the name of open borders are terrorists acting on behalf of a foreign invasion. They need to be treated that way as they are subjected to the full force of the law.

The floodwaters in Texas came at people fast:

Guess who the liberal media blames? That’s right — Trump:

[The National Weather Service] was among the government agencies targeted by the Trump administration in its effort to gut the federal bureaucracy, losing approximately 600 staffers.

Readers are led to believe that the weather forecast was off due to Trump trimming some of the fat that characterizes government agencies:

“The original forecast that we received Wednesday from the National Weather Service predicted 3-6 inches of rain in the Concho Valley and 4-8 inches in the Hill Country,” said Texas Emergency Management Chief W. Nim Kidd at a press conference Friday. “The amount of rain that fell at this specific location was never in any of those forecasts.”

Sudden thunderstorms dumped more than 10 inches of rain on the area, causing heavy flooding from the Guadalupe River.

Finger-pointing is inevitable after a tragedy, but the focus now should be on finding the missing girls from Camp Mystic, not assigning governmental blame for a weather forecast.

But for the liberal media, the story is never the story; the story is always that it’s Trump’s fault.

Hearts go out to the girls missing or killed by the catastrophic flooding at Camp Mystic…

Officials on Saturday confirmed at least 43 people are dead and more than 27 young girls remain missing after a devastating flood swept through Kerr County, Texas.

Five young girls who were staying at Camp Mystic, an all-girls private Christian retreat in Hunt, Texas, have been confirmed dead.

…but not hearts blackened by moonbattery. Here we hear that before donating or helping to find the girls, you should first consider that too many of them are Caucasian:

A sick ideology attracts sick people and eggs them on to be sicker still. That’s how we get moonbats.

On a tip from Wiggins.

Among the most conspicuous characteristics of moonbats is malice:

A mentally unstable individual is sharing videos of herself on TikTok making complex dolls of President Trump and Vice President JD Vance just so she can then stab them with needles.

G.K. Chesterton said that “when men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything.” But do moonbats really believe in voodoo?

This clearly unhinged woman has managed to amass over 70,000 followers and says she does it for “stress relief.”

Maybe they just believe in self-indulgence and narcissistic theatrics:

Apparently Ron DeSantis and Marjorie Taylor Greene were also honored with voodoo dolls.

As the dolls suggest, mental illness is endemic among young liberal women. According to Pew Research Center, over half of them have psychiatric disorders.
