CNN contributor and smug progressive propagandist Van Jones claimed to know the secret of how Democrats achieved their strong (but absurdly hyped) showing last Tuesday. “Now it can be told,” Jones said, as if he were about to reveal who the second shooter was on the grassy knoll.
“How did we win the narrative on affordability? Was it just these nice little Democrats out there running for office and going to — No. The Republicans never figured out what we were doing. There’s something called the American Accountability Network. Tens of thousands of online humans — not bots — coordinated to make the affordability message a winning message online.32.5 million people hit on Instagram every day, 88.8 million hit on Twitter, X every single day. And 185 million hits on Facebook every single day. And they never figured it out. The Republicans could not understand. It wasn’t bots, it was actual human beings. The most effective online organizing campaign … flew under the radar screen. Driving the kitchen table affordability message and tying that to Democrats on a positive and Republicans on a negative…So, it’s not just all the door knocking that was done which was amazing. It’s not just our amazing candidate quality. We had something called the American Accountability Network. Don’t get mad at me, I was given permission to reveal this.”
[“Amazing candidate quality…” Ugh. What a hack.]
Does this really come as a surprise to anyone? My Facebook friends and my progressive zombie acquaintances began chanting about high gas and grocery prices long ago, even though it didn’t make any sense, since the inflated prices were the hangover from Biden’s incompetent Presidency. To listen to them, it was all “tariffs,” because that was another repetitious talking point, though so far it looks like Trump’s tariffs were more successful than critics predicted. Let me translate what Jones was saying:
Democratic Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens finally had enough of the anti-Semitic communist who narrowly defeated her in the Democratic Senate primary, Abdul El-Sayed, and endorsed his GOP opponent Mike Rogers over the weekend. That bold act of principle, triggered because Abdul El-Sayed refused to disavow an anti-Semitic campaign ad by an extreme progressive PAC, is causing the now almost completely corrupted Democratic party (and its brainwashed supporters) to expose its ethics rot.
El-Sayed has refused to disavow his previous statements against Israel. He has evaded questions about his support of the Muslim Brotherhood. He tried to bury social media posts about 9/11 suggesting that the U.S. deserved the attacks, and he has a long record of sucking up to open fascist Hasan Piker. Then the Rebellion released its ad that was roundly condemned by Republicans and the endangered species of decent Democrats. When the candidate adamantly resisted, Haley Stevens’ fiancee, announced that he cast his would his vote for Mike Rogers. Even then, Stevens gave El-Sayed a chance to disavow the ad, and his response was to tell her to stay away from a so-called “unity event” featuring, among others, Ethics Villain Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), who was substantially responsible for inflicting Joe Biden’s Presidency on the nation.
So she endorsed Rogers, which was the ethical, responsible, courageous and right thing to do.
Now she’s under attack by her own party. Chuck Schumer called her endorsement of Rogers “a despicable betrayal.” Nancy Pelosi called it a betrayal and a “horrific endorsement.” Mayor Mamdani called it a betrayal since he also is in favor of wiping out Israel. Pramila Jayapal called the endorsement “a despicable betrayal,” and “unforgivable.” James Carville, classy as ever, called Haley Stevens “a used condom.” Most of Stevens’s staff resigned in protest, with a public statement essentially saying that if the US needs to put anti-Semites in the Senate to stop Trump, it was worth it. The Michigan Democrat Party has kicked her out.
Integrity is not “in.” This is your Democratic Party in 2026.
One doesn’t expect much in terms of intelligence, judgment and taste from a reality TV star, but McCall DePron, who is also an “influencer” so that’s two strikes against her before this conduct (Strike three!), is special. Her whole family is tasteless and clueless or being trained to be. That’s the photo above she posted on Instagram of her clan’s so clever Halloween costumes, evoking, celebrating, mocking, giggling at—I don’t know what to call it—one of the most shattering days in U.S. history
McCall is dressed as Jackie Kennedy the day her husband was murdered while sitting by her side. Her himbo hubby is supposed to be JFK before the front of his head was shot off, and her kids are supposed to be John-John, Caroline, and two Secret Service agents. Caroline Kennedy is still alive and surely thinks this trivializing of the day her world fell apart was a wonderful splash of Halloween fun. And, frankly, I’m alive too. November 22, 1963 was a generational trauma for members of my generation; 9-11 doesn’t come close. The fact that a social media “influencer” is so ethically and historically retarded is yet another cultural canary dying in the mine of U.S. society.
DePron took down her “Happy Halloween!” post that included the disgusting photo. Too late, moron. Attaching “happy” to anything related to that day is signature significance proving a porous brain and rotting soul.
The big story yesterday was the revelation of the Democratic Party’s plot to steal an Alaska U.S. Senate seat by confusing voters.…well, that, and the fact that the New York Times reported damning conduct by the party it pimps for most of the year. Stephen Green, usually an astute political analyst from the Right, thinks that the scandal may have national impact, that the GOP should use it nationally as it makes the final pitch to voters. He says, “[I]f the Republicans play their cards right, they can make the fallout go national. Because it DESERVES to go national. In fact, this ought to be one of the defining issues of the 2026 midterms.” Got it. Since it ought to be, it will be. Welcome to Fantasy Land. Green adds, [O]nce again, the same people screaming about “saving democracy” and “democracy is on the ballot” have been caught trying to rig an election.”
Also, trees have leaves! Why would any indoctrinated, progressive, Trump Deranged voter anywhere but Alaska—heck, even in Alaska!—suddenly think “THIS is the final straw!”? The Democratic Party had its puppet President call Republicans Nazis and threat to democracy…
…as it knowingly inflicted a demented POTUS on the nation, let a former President pull the strings, had its captive media lie that the shuffling geezer was “sharp as a tack,” and then replaced him as the 2024 candidate with a far left dim bulb who never faced a single primary opponent or a competitive convention vote. Its favorite Communism-loving Senator, Bernie Sanders, assured radical voters that what she was saying on the campaign trail were just lies to placate moderates until she was elected. The party has been trying to inflame its wackos to kill Donald Trump for years, and came within inches of succeeding—then tried to claim the assassination attempt was a MAGA hoax. It has repeatedly tried to defy election results by concocting one scheme after another (and the Big Lies to support them) to remove an opposing party’s President, including an audacious, Obama White House-engineered investigation of “collusion” with Russia.
It flooded the nation with illegal aliens, all the better to get census results that give Democratic states more electoral votes and representatives. Democrats in Virginia tried to sneak an illegal and unconstitutional redistricting scheme into law by lying about it on a referendum. In Maine, Democratic leadership kept insisting that a fake oyster fisherman who abuses women was a legitimate Senate candidate while he lied about the Nazi tattoo he had on his chest. In Minnesota, a Democratic rep almost certainly engaged in fraud to become a U.S. citizen and has been lying about it ever since, while stating that her first loyalty is to a foreign, Muslim nation. House Democrats let one of their Reps break the law to delay a House vote and lie about it. The party has successfully blocked efforts to ensure election integrity on multiple fronts, but the late revelation of another Democratic cheat in Alaska is going to finally make Americans figure out where the real danger to democracy comes from?
Cheating in elections isn’t just a traditional part of democracy, it is anti-democracy, totalitarian in fact. It is how bad people—yes, they are bad people— seek to gain power they don’t deserve (the fact that they will cheat proves that all by itself). Any candidate who tries to cheat is by definition untrustworthy, and any edition of a political party that supports such a candidate is untrustworthy as well. Both parties have unforgivable records of cheating behind them; perhaps the worst was Richard Nixon secretly sabotaging the Vietnam peace talks to improve his chances of willing the Presidency in 1968, but then he might have won the Presidency legitimately had not the Kennedy mob cheated so effectively in 1960.
Since 2015, the Democratic Party has raised cheating in elections to a core value, adopting the Radical Left’s traditional “by any means necessary” commandment. There hasn’t been a party so corrupt in this respect since the Republican Party of the Reconstruction Era. Long-time readers here may recall that when I realized how much cheating Democrats had engaged in to elect Hillary Clinton, I changed my stated intention to hold my nose, wear a gas mask and keep my gorge from rising as I voted for her over the GOP candidate, whom I had declared unfit for the Presidency in every respect. (I wrote in a name on the 2016 ballot: the man the Democrats had cheated out the White House in 2012.)
The New York Times yesterday exposed their usual heartthrobs with a full report on the brazen Democratic plot to steal a U.S. Senate seat in Alaska. It was so flagrant and outrageous that the Times decided they couldn’t spin or bury the incident without looking like the print version of MSNOW. They deserve no credit for this, and anyone who claims this proves the Times isn’t an “enemy of the people” should get a pie in the face. The Times knows it has to periodically pretend to be an objective and independent news source or it wouldn’t be able to fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time. The paper’s staff is unethical, but it ain’t stupid.
The whole article is here (all Times links now get past the pay wall), but a few highlights are in order:
ON UCHICAGO CAMPUS: U.S. Senator from Michigan Elissa Slotkin hopes planned political prosecutions of republican leaders will scare young conservatives from getting involved in politics.@ElissaSlotkinpic.twitter.com/p7NBJpDcQW
The most frightening thing is that they are so open about it, as if there is nothing wrong with a party saying, “When we get in power, we’ll make sure no one feels safe opposing us.”
The Cornell Rape Ethics Train Wreck just made a nasty stop.
The captain of the Piner High School football team posted the phrase “Free the Cornell Seven” on Instagram.
So what? That post is entirely, completely, protected free speech, and any semi-informed American dolt over the age of 18 should know it. That message does not involve the school or its students in any way. It is pure opinion.
Not punished, however, were the approximately 200 students—nobody bothered to take names or count them— who walked out of class to protest the fact that their school hadn’t sufficiently punished a fellow student for making a statement of opinion that could not be legally, ethically or constitutionally punished. This is bonkers. The conduct of those students must be punished. Not only that, the teachers and administrators responsible for them not comprehending the essentials of free speech, the First Amendment and the Constitution at such an advanced age should be sacked.
The protesters demanded “accountability” for the football team captain. So did many parents, who complained to the school district that the message “makes light of sexual assault and should not be tolerated.” Not be tolerated? The school’s principal’s answer to the parents should have been,
“Mind your own damn business and get out of my face. You need to go back to high school yourself. You don’t know what you are talking about. First, anyone, including a student here, is free to post any opinion on a controversy in New York on his or her personal social media accounts any time they choose. We have to “tolerate it.” Second, there is no evidence that a sexual assault occurred, despite your fellow travelers on the Left seeking to wreck the lives of young men as a show of solidarity with the worst of American feminists.”
Funny, when Democrats ran in 2024 on the assertion that electing Donald Trump would turn the U.S. into Nazi Germany, I didn’t realize that the Left’s response to Trump’s election would be to embrace the most universally acknowledged evil of Hitler’s regime.
In case you haven’t noticed (and why haven’t you, if not?), the evidence of metastasizing anti-Semitism world-wide and in the U.S. as we approach the mid-terms it is alarming, or should be. Yesterday we learned that there was a nearly successful 9-11 style attack on Tel Aviv, foilded by the passengers. Anti-white racist director Spike Lee (everybody loves Spike Lee!) got in a confrontation at Yankee Stadium with a fan who told him “Fuck Palestine!” The acclaimed director of “Do the Right Thing” has revealed himself as a big booster of Hamas, along with a lot of prominent Hollywood progressives like Mark Ruffalo, Susan Saranden, Emma Stone and Tilda Swinton. In a sane America, such anti-Semites would fear that expressing vile views would kill their careers, but, NPR tells us, the nation is “divided.” You know: let Israel be wiped off the map vs. let Jews live.
Huh. Tough choice; let me think.
The international community is substantially anti-Semitic as the United Nations has been demonstrating for a long time, but that condition has worsened substantially since Europe allowed its nations to be overrun with Muslims. And, of course, progressives perpetually argue that the U.S. needs to be more like the rest of the world. The U.N. has consistently condemned Israel as it has fought for its existence in Gaza and Iran. Here is the list of nations whose delegates walked out on Netanyahu’s speech to the General Assembly

“…and everything was so much better when it was only at 32.67 trillion!”
Watching my Red Sox TV broadcasts from Boston(as the team I have lived and died for …metaphorically of course…most of my life inconveniently rose from the dead last month and forced me to take two and a half hours I don’t have time for out of every day to follow their adventures), it has been mordantly amusing to hear all of the Democrats running ads following a script that says they will “stand up to Trump” and “deal with the National Debt.” When anyone, including President Trump, promises to take any serious action regarding the National Debt, they are proving they are stupid, naive or lying. There is no fourth alternative.
Nevertheless, the Axis media (and others) have now decided that the newly minted $40 trillion National Debt is exponentially more alarming than the $39 trillion debt, or the $37 trillion debt, and far, far more disastrous than in 1992, when Ross Perot ran for President primarily on the platform that a debt that was then “only” $4.06 trillion and about 46% the gross domestic product was dangerous and irresponsible and Democrats mocked him mercilessly. So “National Debt reaches $40 million!” is being headlined everywhere, blathered about on CNN, MSNow and the rest because Republicans have control of the Presidency and Congress, and mid-term elections are fast approaching.
I wrote about this hypocrisy and deliberate dishonesty by the Left just four months ago. Any Democratic candidate who cites the current explosion of the National Debt as a reason to vote for him, her or Democrats (and especially Democratic-Socialists) are untrustworthy liars: the claim is signature significance. No ethical, competent, believable candidate would make such a promise even once. It is proof of organic mendacity.
I was temped to repost the last EA essay on the topic, Ethics Observations on the National Debt…, but you can read the whole thing if you want; the tag for the topic and all of the EA posts on it is here. I’ll just leave with this quote—as with the rest of the post, it is as accurate today as it was then:
Abdul El-Sayed speaks during a news conference at the Spirit of Detroit shortly after winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Michigan, Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2026, in Detroit. (AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson)
Democraic-Socialist, also anti-Semite, Abdul El-Sayed defeated Rep. Haley Stevens in the Democrat Senate primary last week. This is remarkable for many reasons, few of them good. I have waited this long to post about it because I have been trying to keep my gorge down.
1. Not too long ago, it would be impossible to imagine a serious candidate for the U.S. Senate named Abdul El-Sayed. Americans just didn’t elect people who had non American-sounding names. It was a silly bias, but a comforting one. When I wrote my thesis hypothesizing an American Presidential type, I noted that no American President had been elected who didn’t have an American-sounding name. (No, nobody thought of Dwight Eisenhower as German, for obvious reasons.) Not only that, every American President from Washington to Bush except Richard Nixon has had blue eyes. Barack Obama blew that template to bits, both in name and in eye-color.
[Notice of Correction:Somehow, I left out “except Richard Nixon.” I don’t know how that happened: I thought I had written that. Well, it was too late I guess: I finished the post at one in the morning. But I certainly knew about Nixon’s eyes: there is a controversy over their color: he is stated in some sources as having black eyes, and others have them as dark brown. But he and Obama are the only brown-eyed boys: Trump restored the Presidency to its blue-eyed tradition.I apologize for the error, but a commenter who should know better accused me of being “racist” for #1 above. To be blunt, that pisses me off. The Name Game has a chapter in my honors thesis, which was,indeed a controversial one: three chair-holding professors in the Harvard Government Department reviewed it, and couldn’t agree on the grade; eventually they compromised on magna cum laude. The observation about Presidents’ names was not original, and I had it thoroughly footnoted to a historian who specialized in the narrow field of Presidential character. Perhaps today’s DEI, bias-over-reality, conservative thought-suppressing Harvard College would have slapped me down for that section, but then it no longer is a top tier, trustworthy institution. Fact: the template for the American Presidency in the minds of Americans is powerfully influenced another fact. Every President before Barack Obama was white, male, born on the mainland and raised by Christians. He changed that mold, and if he had been a good President and better human being, he would have changed it more.
I have reached the end of my patience with progressives and Democrats, yes, even Trump-Deranged friends, stooping to race-baiting when they have neither the information, the integrity nor the wit to counter opinions (and facts) they find inconvenient, as they appeal to emotion or worse. I wrote in the reply to an old and cherished friend’s accusation of racism in the comments to this post, “Shame on you.” Shame on all of them.]
In retrospect, I have concluded that Obama was not (and is not) a cultural American. Abdul El-Sayed being the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senator in Michigan would be impossible without Obama’s toxic influence.
2. Abdul El-Sayed is by far the most radical and repellent candidate to emerge from the primaries yet. He makes Graham Platner look like Hans Christian Anderson. Hassan Piker ‘s pal** pledged support for the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in a 2011 article on HuffPo titled “Why the U.S. Should Support the Protesters in Egypt” in which El-Sayed argued for allowing the terrorist organization to grab control of Egypt. He campaigned with Amir Makled, who praised the terrorist group Hezbollah and Iran. He wants to end U.S. military aid to Israel, which he says is committing genocide in Gaza.
As far as state matters go, the aspiring Senator supports raising taxes on working-class Michiganders including waitresses, delivery drivers, and senior citizens receiving Social Security to pay for his “Medicare for All” agenda item. He supports defunding the police, saying on social media that “The police have become standing armies we deploy against our own people” and that police funding is influenced by “systemic racism.” Naturally he advocates abolishing I.C.E., aka. “open borders.”
He has never held elective office.
3. So how did this guy win a primary in rock-ribbed American Michigan? Thank higher education indoctrination. The vote was close, just 1% separating the candidates with the margin of victory coming from college towns and Gen Z. El-Sayed didn’t win a single district dominated by voters without college degrees, supposedly the “working class” that crypto-Commies like El-Sayed claim to be standing up for.
4. About that margin of victory: pre-vote polls had El-Sayed crushing the incumbent. Lesson: our pollsters are still biased, incompetent, and untrustworthy, and most are loyal members of the Axis of Unethical Conduct.
