Full panic has set in amongst the Democrats as they realize they can’t stop the evil orange man from exposing their many shady dealings of the past several years, as all of the fraud, waste and corruption is being exposed to daylight.

The crooks are now attempting to hide their crimes as DC searches for BleachBit are surging this week.

Internet search trends in the Washington, DC, metro area have been stunning in recent weeks, reflecting what appears to be growing panic within the federal bureaucracy as President Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) root out corruption in non-governmental organizations (NGO) and federal agencies.

Earlier this week, internet search trends for “Criminal Defense Lawyer” and “RICO Laws” went viral on X, fueling speculation that Washington’s political elites were in panic mode. The searches coincided with DOGE’s efforts to neuter USAID’s funding of NGOs that propped up a shadow government, as well as begin cutting tens of thousands of workers from various federal agencies.

Another facet of this realization is the sudden glut of homes for sale in the DC area. With over 11k homes available in the area, it is sure to impact prices and that will give them something new to blame on Trump.

And then, we have the journalists. Whether it was because they thought Americans would reject him or that they believed the propaganda showing that Kamala Harris would win – some in the liberal media cannot tolerate enduring another four years of Donald J. Trump in the White House. One or two leaving for supposed greener pastures is one thing, but this?

Similarly, I’ve read of others who cannot deal with reality and are used to being able to silence others who may have a differing opinion. With those days very decidedly now over, they are now dropping their long standing social media accounts, where that reality is confronting them each and every day.

Their remedy? To return to the echo chambers (like Bluesky) that warped their perception of reality in the first place. Now in their safe spaces, they’ll need to plug their ears and cover their eyes (they’ll never shut their mouths), when they digest these numbers:

NEW Harvard-Harris Poll:

• Trump approval: 52% (+9)
• Trump disapproval: 43%
• 58% say he is doing better than Biden
• 81% support deporting criminal aliens
• 76% support eliminating fraud, waste
• 76% support closing the U.S. border
• 70% support merit-based hiring
• 61% support reciprocal tariffs
• 60% think DOGE is helping

Instead, they’ll continue to wail about Hitler and further their projections about shredding the constitution – without any proof whatsoever. This is classic leftism in action. The left has perfected a strategy of making outrageous claims to stoke fear and outrage, counting on its audience’s emotional reaction to override critical thinking. It doesn’t need evidence – just apocalyptic rhetoric and a compliant media ecosystem to repeatedly amplify it.

That is no longer working as the polling reveals. Even though the left stammers about norms and highlights those impacted by the decisions being made, there is never any mention of the waste, fraud, abuse and corruption being brought into daylight, for all to see.

As Victor Davis Hanson recently wrote:

It will be a long hard struggle for them to return to reality but I’ll wish them well and continue to pray for their awakening.

The ‘flipped over in the ditch, wheels spinning in the air resistance car’ is having a tough time of it right now. Jamming the accelerator pedal to the floor is having no effect no matter how hard they try as their leg cramps up.

After getting too content with the ineffective, contradictory, comatose, and downright damaging policies of the past administration – all moving at a snails pace, while they funnel off billions of our tax dollars and spend half the week on the beach, they are now alarmed to see what true leadership actually looks like.

To put it simply for those still riding the short bus, this is EXACTLY what he campaigned on and was elected to do. And everyone outside of their ever-shrinking echo chamber, (the ones labelled “MAGA Extremists“), are ecstatic seeing he’s doing what he said he would do, at a stunning pace that is astounding to nearly everyone.

Maybe reading the responses to the post above will clear that up. But probably not so we’ll try a common-themed meme to get that critical point across.

With their power to pillage the treasury now stripped away, and finding there is very little they can do to resist the purge, they fall back on their tried and true virtue signal for more resistance by calling for a “General Strike”.

A far better alternative is to hit them where it hurts them personally—their income—which is why I think that those who are interested in protecting democracy should seriously consider participating in a GENERAL STRIKE. More ==> 

I would welcome their attempts to implement such an action. Just to see it flame out, or better yet, to backfire spectacularly as the (many more) supporters of the new administration more than make up their absence, like they always have. Unfortunately, this effort, which began in 2022 has a goal of 11 million signing on before they strike and have only accumulated a little over 200k (.019%) to date.

Since it has taken 3 years to acquire that .019%, even if you pad it generously by estimating 100k/year, they’d only need a little over 100 years to pull it off. For any relevancy to hit their goal in the next 4 years they NEED about 2.7 million per year or about 225k per month.

Its looking like it’s yet another great idea from within their echo chamber that will wilt and die long before it ever sees the light of day.

It is totally unfathomable at this point that they STILL believe that they have any credibility and support, other than the constant shrieking and wailing seen in their video testimonials – that only draw more ridicule now that the covers are being removed, exposing the corruption that has become so embedded.

Their current hysteria:

• They don’t care if trans people feel persecuted.
  “Persecuted” because they can no longer prey on children, beat up women and deny their rights to fair competition, or invade women’s spaces and privacy in dressing and locker rooms?
  • 75 percent, of parents oppose teachers, counselors, school nurses, classroom aides, coaches or administration withholding information about a child’s gender identity from parents.
  • 80 percent of those surveyed said they oppose biological males, who identify as females, being allowed to participate on women’s/girls’ sports teams.
  • Many other significant and similar results of this polling (available here), illustrates this goes far beyond the MAGA Extremist cult that they claim.
• They don’t care if immigrants are scared.
  • Recent polling has shown that as many as 64% support the mass deportation of undocumented illegal immigrants. Of course, that won’t stop the detractors from always inferring that ALL immigrants are in danger, but polling on immigration, as stated, overwhelmingly supports these actions so frankly, we don’t care.
• The MAGA supporters are going so far as to distort Christianity in order to justify their Christian Nationalist agenda.
  • Like this new Lord’s Prayer distortion?
    ^{Our mother and our father, our beloved parent in who we move and breathe and have our being. The glorious hallowing of your name shines forth in the diversity of your children. May your peace and love, justice and equality, inclusion and belonging reign here on earth as in heaven. Build your kingdom in the hearts of all. Help us meet our daily needs. Be with those who suffer as a result of living as the fullest truth of your divine child. Grant that our transgender loved ones might have their daily needs met, That they might find employment without discrimination, That they may have access to medical care without fear, That they might have their rights and lives protected, That they might find a loving, safe community to belong to and call their own. Forgive us for the ways that we have fallen short and failed your beloved transgender children, as well as our many trespasses. Forgive us of the times we turned away or did not care, For the times we laughed or judged their unique expression of your image, Just as we forgive those who might have failed to see, hear, and understand us. Lead us away from the temptation to be complacent in the face of injustice But instead, give us the courage to stand up for and with your beloved children. Open our minds and our hearts to those who think, act, and experience life differently. Help us do our part to make your love and justice reign in our diverse, beautiful world, now and always.
    Amen}

I don’t know what Christianity they were brought up in but that’s why there’s a doctrine of the sufficiency of scripture. It’s heresy to add to the timeless truths of scripture, especially to justify decadent lifestyles that ignore biblical teachings.

Then, we have another example that makes me ashamed I was once a member of the denomination. https://www.herchurch.org/, an ELCA congregation in the Sierra Pacific Synod practicing pagan rituals, where the pastor describes herself as a “Pastor & Priestess of Ritual” and claims that her “malestream theological education opened the door for her to build a Goddess-inclusive congregation and ministry. But wait, there’s more.

Meet Christine Konkol, the church’s “Resident Witch.” Her bio states:

“As Priestess Witch for herchurch, Christine offers magical gifts to share and enhance the support and development of herchurch. The monthly astrological reading provides guidance from the stars and is a favorite among many. Together we honor the natural cycles of the year, the Solstices and Equinoxes, and thank the Earth for her bounty. Small group gatherings provide inspiration and direct our attention to instinct and intuition helping us to discover ways to connect to the divinity of nature and thereby the Divine”.

You may find a Bible or 2 there but they likely have already been burned on their sacrificial altar. And lastly, we’ll share the clearly undistorted views of this Dallas bastion of biblical purity.

Nothing to see here folks, just good ‘ol Christianity shining brightly.

Finding that their recent shaming ultimatum to friends and family has failed spectacularly (to either bend the knee to their craziness or be excommunicated), they cannot dare to consider that they might have been wrong about what they’ve been spewing for years.

This should be no surprise to any sane person. The warning signs are everywhere and is something to consider when trying to reason with the unreasonable.

“The doctor raised alarm over what he describes as a “real crisis” within the Democratic Party following Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election. According to the physician, the party is grappling with a deep identity and leadership crisis exacerbated by Trump’s triumph, leading to internal struggles and a loss of direction”.

Well, that’s been plainly obvious and highlights the challenges Democrats face as they navigate a changing political landscape, with their strategies and messaging increasingly under scrutiny with each new revelation. 

“According to Glenn Burnett, an internal doctor from Wyoming, Democrats are suffering from significant mental health concerns over Trump’s win. He said his patients are dealing with a wide range of issues, including insomnia, depression, grief, and genuine fear and panic.” 

Burnett told political analyst Mark Halperin that many of his left-wing patients are facing serious mental health struggles following Trump’s monumental win.” 

“We are dealing with depression, anxiety, all kinds of medical problems that are related to that,  like insomnia, chest pain, chest pressure,” he told Halprin. “And then people are that there’s some genuine fear, panic. When Biden was the president, I had some of this stuff from the other side, but it has been extremely intense now… after the election.”

“He recommends that his patients disconnect from politics and the news cycle by turning off their computers and televisions. “The next thing I tell them to do is, if you have had an issue with your family and a lot of them have that, that is so much more important than Kamala Harris or Donald Trump,” he said, “and you need to begin to make amends,” Burnett said”.

Sorry to say, I can’t see those, who remain embedded in the swamp (as it’s rapidly being drained around them), having that capability or we would’ve seen signs of it months ago, as these revelations started flowing out into the open sunlight.

The doctor said he’d never seen such fractious behavior like this among families. That’s all on those who cannot accept, nor have the maturity to understand that they’re not entitled to win every election just because they feel they’re right, especially when history overwhelmingly has proven otherwise.

They seem unable to grasp what is happening. Sen John Fetterman knows that reconciliation might not be possible, given how his party has become hijacked by the loudmouth activist class, a cadre of wealthy, overly educated whites who take everything to eleven when it’s not necessary. It’s become so loud, so exclusionism, so illiberal, and insane that white and non-white workers are drifting away in droves. Everyone seems to realize this except TDS-induced diehard Democrats, who think they can continue to ignore the recent polling data showing the epic collapse across the board for Democrats.

From Democrat commentator and author Joe Klein:

Yes, friends, still crazy after all these years…and the encroaching dementia is not benign. Can this party be saved? I have my doubts. The intellectual corrosion is comprehensive; it is only matched by the self-righteous arrogance. But what’s the alternative? I’ve been through Dems in Disarray syndrome multiple times in the past: in 1972, in 1980, in 1988, in 2016…but, gotta say, this is the worst I’ve ever seen it. There is a vast cluelessness abroad in the party. Its prevailing vision of an America based on identity now resides in the outhouse.

Again, this goes far, far, FAR beyond the
MAGA Extremist cult that they claim.

Instead of learning from their failures and the unpopularity of their positions, the Democrats are now doubling down and claiming that the American people do not want they’ve said they want.

• Americans want a clean slate on the budget.
• They want those who stole or misdirected monies held accountable.
• They want safe streets.
• They want controlled borders, north and south.
• They want less drugs in their neighborhoods.
• They want energy that is reliable and inexpensive.
• They want their schools to teach students to succeed and not to be lefty drones.
• They want their kids to come home the same gender they were when they left in the morning.
• They want their daughters to win their races and not have to compete against the guy with the goatee and jockstrap.
• They want their wives and daughters to feel safe in restrooms and locker rooms.
• Americans know that the system used to work, and they want to go back to that winning formula.

YES, there were warts that needed to be worked out. But, as a nation, we’ve overcome much of those, before the always exploitive democratic machine started leveraging those communities to expand their agendas that had absolutely nothing to with their struggle. Instead, they implemented a host of DEI or Climate Change initiatives that only negated all of the gains they’ve achieved over the past decades. Well done!

The bottom line? Democrats have a knack for taking the most radical positions imaginable. And thanks to their virtual monopoly as the gatekeepers of popular culture, they’ve managed to brainwash a lot of people into aligning with their whacked-out world view. What is transpiring now is that realization sinking in to them and they are feeling trapped by their previous statements/actions and the revelations of reality that is flooding over them like a tsunami.

With so many of the pillars of their temple already toppled, it doesn’t look very promising for them going forward. About their only remaining option is to try to
emulate the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), Earth Liberation Front, Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), United Freedom Front (UFF),  Weather Underground Organization or best of all, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), where they could likely find their old robes and hoods somewhere in their basement storage spaces.

And, it’s already began:

However, the only results all those groups above realized, resulting from their violence, was long prison sentences so perhaps it would be easier to just take him out (again) – as sad and alarming as that realization is.

And now, today we learn that beginning in 2021 (what happened then?) there was over 8 million paid to Politico, NYT got 10s of millions of dollars, Thomson Reuters got 9 million, and that’s just the outer layers of USAID peeled back so far. It now seems quite apparent, those valuable institutions of “factual” information were all on the take – while censoring and silencing those who were truthful.

And their plan now?

“initial plans by the Democrats is to have their people at USAID hide the partisan funding under ‘unimpeachable initiatives.’ They will push back really hard on certain line items that on their face look like reasonable USAID expenditures and hide their political spending under these programs.”

That, and more calling for protests. I’ll let Ohio Democrat and former presidential candidate Tim Ryan tell it like it is:

Like clockwork, the response has been it is all misinformation – just more of the same BS we’ve had jammed down our throats for years. Only now, it emboldens those digging to dig deeper. And what they found was the government (the Biden administration) was purchasing bogus subscriptions to these media outlets at rates hundreds of times greater than the typical sale price.

What do you suppose they were getting for their investments?

The cutoff of those funds has already resulted in Politico missing their last payroll.

This will only get better!

This development is especially interesting, considering the discussion here about a year ago on this site, when I raised similar flags about media culpability.

We are now wading deep into the swamp and heads will soon be rolling. So much corruption that it’s hard to know where to begin, but this HAS to be addressed (beyond shutting it down) and folks need to be convicted and imprisoned!

I imagine that any day now, one of the “settlements” or rulings from the numerous lawsuits now being applied to the fraudsters in the MSM will be forcing them to read on the air:

“I am a proven liar who has lost any credibility I may have had. I lack integrity and am wholly responsible for my lack of journalistic ethics. My viewers need to be aware that this is not the first time I have acted this way, and it’s unlikely to be my last. Please understand that I WILL lie to you in future, and that nothing I state on the air can be accepted as being factual in any way. I seek to shape the opinions of you, the weak-minded and woefully uninformed that make up the overwhelming majority of my audience. Yes. I mean you, personally”.

I truly wonder how those weak-minded and woefully uninformed are feeling these days. It can’t be good.

There is SO much happening these days, but this one (now resolved) is another promise made, voted in and promise kept. And I couldn’t be happier for them.

Many, many years (decades) ago, a bunch of us cocky high school jocks challenged the HS girls volleyball team to a match – thinking we’d easily show them who is superior.

Who were we kidding? The skill and determination of those girls shown through and we were soon humiliated by those skills and soundly trashed.

It’s sad to think that now, nearly 50 years later, that effort and determination can be negated by a dude, who couldn’t make it on HIS side of the gender divide, so decided he’d cross over to beating up and denying opportunities for those who have worked so hard for what they’ve achieved.

In what world, was that ever OK?
