Based on recent news reports it’s obviously true – as the title of Mark Levin’s bestselling New York Times book proclaims – that “The Democrat Party Hates America” ?
His next book title should be “Democrats Are Dumb Too.” The Biden administration’s wide-open border and rampant crime by illegal aliens proves it. They’re either dumb or malicious, or both.
Even the far left-wing “Lizard” – Democrat strategist James Carville – blasted his party and former President Joe Biden on the border issue. He didn’t hold back.
News outlets reported that Carville zeroed in on Biden’s decision to listen to the “idiot left” when it came to border security, resulting in immigration being one of the most important issues voters considered in the 2024 election.
Some elected Democrat Congressmen are finally seeing the writing on the wall and realizing that the public is fed up with their idiotic and dangerous antics.
For example, Democrat Washington State Representative Adam Smith said this week, “We need more border security. We need a secure border, and we need to admit on my side, the Joe Biden administration didn’t do that. At least not until the last six to eight months. We failed and we failed because we followed the far left’s policies on don’t deport anybody, open up the borders for many more asylum seekers without being concerned about the volume. I think we need to be honest with the American people.” WOW! A Democrat with common sense.
However, Senate Minority leader Chuck ‘The schmuck” Schumer is leading his Democrat chorus of dim haters saying on the Senate floor: “People are aroused. I haven’t seen people so aroused in a very, very long time in terms of trying to get this done,” he added.
His bizarre word choice left many X users surprised. It triggered reminders about the 74-year-old Senate Minority mumbler’s slip of the tongue back in 2021 when he accused Trump of having “incited the erection” at the US Capitol on January 6.
Why would elected Democrats and their mindless followers condemn the new leaders of the Department of Homeland Security for deporting illegal aliens that are murderers, rapists, child molesters, etc. to their home countries? Their thought processes, such as they are, reveal a deadly combination of stupidity and negligence and hate and repugnance toward the folks they are elected to represent.
Democrats go on TV screaming, crying, waving their arms, and calling President Trump and his staff vile names while weeping and wailing for mercy for the heinous illegal alien criminals roaming their districts. They do this despite their neighbors and constituents (many of them immigrants) in Queens, Chicago, Los Angeles, etc. are pouring onto the streets thanking the ICE law enforcement agents for getting the scumbags, thieves, killers, drug dealers, etc. out of their neighborhoods.
Why would Democrat elected officials declare their constituents’ cities and states “sanctuaries” or safe havens for these illegals thugs and killers to avoid arrest, prosecution, and deportation? Why would they force their local police and sheriff’s departments to release them back into the communities of their innocent victims when ICE comes to arrest and prosecute them? Can anyone explain this?
If these empty-minded nitwits don’t hate America or aren’t as dumb as a barrel of hair then what the hell are they up to? They certainly aren’t endearing themselves to the average American citizen or enforcing the law. They’re not even close to being average citizens, more like subversives or a fifth column. They’re proving the truth in the old adage: “The difference between Intelligence and stupidity is that intelligence has its limits,”

Speaking Of Illegals: The online news parody “Babylon Bee” suggests one of the best ways for illegals to avoid capture and deportation is to shelter in one of Selena Gomez’s mansions as she’s got several and has a soft spot for illegal aliens.
These illegals are NOT picking cotton, apples, grapes or blueberries in Atlanta, New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles like CNN (Jake Tapper) and his ilk claim. They are preying on Americans and living on American taxpayer money from welfare, Section 8 housing, food stamps, and more.

Meanwhile Back at the Ranch: Fernandina Beach’s Jerry Hester, a retired FBI agent, is one of more than 50 former agents nationwide that sent a letter to Senate leadership in support of Trump FBI nominee Kash Patel making the case that the bureau is “broken” and in desperate need of a new direction.
Hester, who last served in the agency’s Miami bureau along with his FBI agent wife Daisy, is the author of the recently released book, “Miami Mafia,” a true account of how he and the team he led infiltrated and busted a violent Miami-based criminal organization.
The letter he signed says in part: “As a group of retired FBI Special Agents and former Intelligence Analysts from across the country dedicated to restoring public trust in the FBI and returning the FBI to its original mission, we support President Trump’s nomination of Kash Patel as the FBI’s next Director,” the letter, signed by over 50 former and retired FBI agents from Reform The Bureau, said.
The letter was sent to Republican Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Dick Durbin, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. It was reported.
“Many Americans have lost faith in the FBI, and for good reason,” the letter explains. “The FBI is broken. And with this loss of trust has come a rise in threats at home and abroad. Drug cartels and Mexican gangs have taken control of the border and have infiltrated cities across the country bringing violent crime and drugs with them. At the same time, China has grown more brazen, engaging in espionage that robs U.S. businesses of their intellectual property and undermines our national security.”
“Terrorist groups are on the rise again in the Middle East, with unknown numbers having flooded into our country over the past four years through a wide-open border. Just as these many, varied threats have increased, the FBI has been used as a tool in the weaponization of the Department of Justice to go after its political enemies. Lives have been shattered, and the targets of these weaponized investigations have been forced to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars of their own personal funds to defend themselves and their reputations. This needs to stop.”
Hester and his former colleagues wrote that the bureau is in “desperate need of a highly capable, non-partisan, and legally compliant FBI it can trust” right now “more than ever” and made the case that Patel is the person to make that a reality.
The letter explained that as both a public defender and prosecutor, Patel has “operated on both sides of the justice system,” which gives him a “unique perspective” to understand the need to both enforce the law and respect the rights of the accused.
Respected historian, author and lecturer Victor Davis Hanson sums it up nicely saying: “So, in all of these aspects, he seems like the perfect FBI director. But there’s two reasons why people are very angry about him, of course.
“One is he was the point man for Devin Nunes’ House Select Intelligence Committee investigation of the FBI. And he helped draft the Nunes’ memo, which detailed, quite accurately, all of the FBI’s machinations to collude with their paid informant, Christopher Steele, to fabricate a false dossier that incorrectly alleged that Donald Trump was a Russian asset. So, in all of these aspects, he seems like the perfect FBI director.”
I predict he’ll be conformed quickly and will even have a nervous Democrat or two voting “Yes.”

The News Leader Propagandist: The local print Fernandina News Leader newspaper continues its rapid and uninterrupted decline toward the bottom despite the addition of a new publisher and increased competition. In fact it’s going downhill faster than disgruntled and panicky Democrats can flee California and New York.
Earlier this week it printed a slobbering story profiling Dr. Chip Ross, the town’s crankiest and most controversial elected curmudgeon since the pirate invasion in the 1800’s.
It wasted a half page slavering all over former ornery commissioner, who served for seven controversial but “entertaining” years.
It mentioned Ross’s clash with his former neighbors in Solomon Islands, Maryland, saying that Ross and a local bar had a “dispute,” but failed to mention that the incident became so controversial and raucous that it made the front page of the Washington Post’s Metro Section among other area papers, at one time reporting that Ross was told to leave the joint by police for being “drunk and disorderly.”
The article also failed to mention a single one of the many controversial incidents Ross was involved in hereabouts, instead painting him as a paragon of the community. The paper has become nothing more than a PR outlet for leftist extremists and the city.
An alleged News Leader “reporter” with the fortunate name of Julia Roberts wrote the publicity release on behalf of Ross. Does she collect a check for flacking for the city too?
This Lois Lane wannabe’s article is eye-opening for what it doesn’t say. For example, nowhere in it does she mention what Maryland area media reported about Ross’s activities in his former residence.
For example, one in the Washington Post by J. Freedom du Lac, the Post’s general assignment news editor, headlined “At the famed Tiki Bar in Southern Maryland, it’s the doctor vs. the drinkers.” Sean Rice of The BayNet.com authored another one about Ross on September 22, 2006, headlined “Prominent Tiki Bar Foe Charged with Intoxicated Endangerment.”
According to these Maryland and Washington D.C. news reports Ross tried to strip a local bar in his former residence of its liquor license and had legal charges brought against him. The entire, very bizarre report of Ross’s activities can be found by going to: http://www.thebaynet.com/articles/0906/prominent-tiki-bar-foe-charged-with-intoxicated-endangerment.html. The Washington Post article can be read in the May 28, 2011 Washington Post (At the famed Tiki Bar in Southern Maryland, it’s the … – Washington Post ).
If you’re think of subscribing to the News Leader for news, you need to read these articles and then alternative news sources like The Yulee News, Callahan News, Hilliard News, and the online Citizens Journal Florida. Forget the online Observer, its observation capabilities were blindfolded when former city commissioner, commission collaborator, and make-believe “reporter” Mike Lednovich joined that sad outfit.
