Earlier this month, I think the MSM paid too much attention to the victories of the Democratic Party at the top of the ticket.
What happened in Virginia, Georgia and Mississippi meant a great deal more than they were willing to report on.
We’re toast!’ Sweeping losses spiral Virginia GOP into finger-pointing panic

The chair of the 5th Congressional District GOP Committee had arrived at the Donald W. Huffman Advance — the Republican Party of Virginia’s annual flagship gathering — at The Forum Hotel in Charlottesville on Dec. 6, 2024, hoping the event would offer a clear roadmap heading into a pivotal election year.
Instead, he said, he witnessed what felt like an early coronation of Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, who had launched her gubernatorial bid that September and, in his view, had already been handpicked by Gov. Glenn Youngkin as his successor.
“I sat there and watched it,” Buchanan said. “I had breakfast, and then went to the first real gathering of the troops, at lunch, and that’s when the coronation began. And I packed my stuff up and left, I didn’t want to hear any more.”
The program, he said, offered little for local organizers seeking help to compete in difficult districts. “There was nothing for us grassroots supporters,” he said. “You know what the program was about? Furthering Youngkin’s agenda.”
One year later, after Democrats swept all three statewide offices in November 2025 and picked up more than a dozen seats to solidify a 67-seat House of Delegates majority, Buchanan’s concerns have become the center of a widening debate inside a party struggling to process the magnitude of its losses — and to figure out what comes next.
A statewide collapse that mirrored a national trend
The scale of the GOP’s collapse stunned both parties.Democrat Abigail Spanberger defeated Winsome Earle-Sears by a commanding 15-point margin in the governor’s race, while Democrats flipped more House seats than most analysts predicted — a sweeping repudiation of Republican candidates and messaging.
Those elections in the Virginia Legislature were enormously important. You have a state with a high number of Government Employees. Employees who were not working due to the shutdown. Employees who were menaced by DOGE earlier this year, and the Republican Governor’s response was to tell them that they could get employment elsewhere. They didn’t see a Governor fighting for them.

On Trump’s orders, the National Center for Atmospheric Research will be shut down after more than 50 years as a leader in global research on climate science and monitoring. This is what authoritarian science looks like.

Nearly 40 years after his snub by FDR, President Gerald Ford invited legendary Olympian Jesse Owens to the White House in August 1976. To Owens’ shock, Ford proceeded to not only honor him, but present him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

But, the MSM tried to gaslight us during the 2024 Election Season, telling us that we were hysterical when we brought up Project 2025.

As the year draws to a close, a crowd-sourced effort, as well as trackers from advocacy organizations and labor unions, show that the Trump administration has implemented roughly half of the goals laid out in Project 2025. (From

A judge ruled that members of Congress can show up at ICE detention centers without warning. The goal is to see real conditions, not a cleaned-up version.

ICE forcefully detain Pastor on Christmas Eve—even though he showed ID.
Agents said they had to take him back to office and prove his legal status.
“He’s a pastor! You’re beating a pastor,” witness yells.
“He’s not a pastor in this country,” agent quips.
“God will judge you,” witness warns. “You’re taking people from their kids, and leaving them alone.”
The incident occurred near the Picker House Lofts apartment complex in Lewiston, Maine. #DemsUnited

“The law explicitly prohibits the board of trustees from making the center into a memorial to anyone else, and from putting another person’s name on the building’s exterior.”

Donald Trump had one of the worst days of his presidency today.
A big part of it is because he’s a lame duck president.
Hunter Biden sums up how his father, President Biden, avoided it. It’s worth watching.

One thing Hunter Biden does well is make the positive case for his father’s presidency. First half of Biden’s term exceeded legislative expectations. He left the economy in a better place than today. Data supports this claim. Pod Bro idiots should be helping Dems make this case.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family’s groceries.
3 agents divvy up his already bought food—taking what they want for themselves.
“Can I just get wife’s number to call and let her know?” woman asks.
“No, guess he should’ve complied,” agent says.
“That’s the same agent who arrested my husband… now he’s back in Mexico,” says woman filming.
Then agents then very nearly hit the witnesses and run them over with their truck—as they suddenly flee the scene at high speed.
The incident occurred outside the Walmart in Yakima, Washington. #DemsUnited

Maybe Democrats would do better electorally if 1) people didn’t accuse them of hysteria for accurately describing Republican plans & 2) people admitted “Democrats were right about that” when Democrats’ predictions prove to have been accurate.

American history runs on a loop: every surge in Black progress is met with a wave of white backlash—Reconstruction to Jim Crow, Brown v. Board to Massive Resistance, Civil Rights to the anti‑affirmative action era, 2020 protests to anti‑DEI laws. Progress, pushback, repeat.
