**Written by Doug Powers Uh oh, there's some intra-party bickering going on amongst California Dems because of disagreement over the party's election probably caused by climate change and lack of single-payer health care system: Longtime party operative Eric Bauman won the chairmanship of the California Democratic Party over the weekend — but his victory was marred by complaints of ballot-stuffing and floor protests. Backers of the Kimberly Ellis, a favorite of the “Berniecrat,” activist wing of...

Here's an update… The wind-up, from earlier this month: And the pitch, from yesterday: The Resistance™ is adding to their bylaws a disclaimer saying exceptions will be made to any Resistance™ is the Resister in question is in need of federal dollars.

**Written by Doug Powers Another Sunday is upon us, so here we go with the weekly open thread… Anthony Weiner, the perverted Democrat former congressman and soon-to-be ex-husband of Hillary Clinton's top aid Huma Abedin, turned himself in to the FBI and issued a guilty plea to sending obscene material to a minor, and will also have to register as a sex offender. CNN Political Reporter Chris Cillizza (formerly of WaPo) would appreciate it if everybody would now drop it: Those are the facts. Now, ...

**Written by Doug Powers Hillary Clinton now knows another reason why she wasn't 50 points ahead: Damn you, Twitter! Twitter co-founder Evan Williams apologized for the role Twitter may have played in electing President Trump. In an interview published Saturday in The New York Times, Williams discussed the president's March claim to Fox News that “I think that maybe I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Twitter.” “It's a very bad thing, Twitter's role in that,” Williams told the Times. “If it's t...

**Written by Doug Powers Rep. Maxine Waters has been among the Dems who are furiously shoveling coal into the furnace that keeps the Trump Impeachment Train chugging along the tracks. Here's Waters recently laying out the “collusion” case against President Trump, followed by the massive amount of evidence she's gathered so far (via Jim Geraghty at NRO): Sam Stein, Huffington Post: “But just to be clear, there has been no actual evidence yet.” REP.

**Written by Doug Powers Planned Parenthood obviously starts each morning with one goal in mind: To completely eclipse the previous day's levels of shamelessness and self-unawareness. They succeeded wildly on Thursday. This is on a web page at the Planned Parenthood Action Fund website — I kid you not: Now this is how to invite a lightning strike: If there's anything we've learned from Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, The Avengers) over the years, it's this — every single one of...

**Written by Doug Powers DNC talking points memos and MSM anonymous sources now pass as enough “journalism” to give us this kind of thing in 2017: I can recall no such cover after Obama's “more flexibility after my re-election” hot mic comment to Medvedev or Hillary's giddiness while handing Russia a relationship “reset” button, and those things actually happened. Reuters summed up where this all stands with the so-called “media.” Here's the opening of an article published this morning: Michae...

**Written by Doug Powers How to win the hearts and minds of “regular” people who are taxpayers, progressive-style: In response to criticism over a new $52 billion tax hike for the already heavily-taxed state, Gov. Jerry Brown (D-Calif.) called upset taxpayers “freeloaders.” “The freeloaders — I've had enough of them,” Brown said at an event in Orange Country last week. Yes, law-abiding Californians who work and pay taxes are “freeloaders” according to his liberal logic, just because they don't s...

Who has Absolute Health Care Moral Authority? by Michelle MalkinCreators Syndicate Copyright 2017 Here is what happens if you try to tell health care stories that defy big government orthodoxy: When GOP Congressman Rodney Davis of Illinois tried to recount how his wife, a nurse and colon cancer survivor, struggled in the nationalized Canadian health care system, liberal protesters responded by uttering “Ugh!” and catcalling him.

**Written by Doug Powers The DNC is hoping “twice as much of the same” will help save the Democratic Party from a generation or more of languishing in the minority across the board. Prepare for “Resistance Summer”: The Democratic National Committee reportedly is planning to pump $1 million into everything from rallies, town halls and neighborhood meetings in hopes of growing voter opposition to President Trump.

**Written by Doug Powers The Washington Post has joined the rest of the mainstream media's return to the hardcore journalism business rested and ready after a semi-vacation for the last few years, and they're really proud of their latest “scoop”: According to Glenn Kessler, the paper's “fact checker,” their scoop Monday that President Trump revealed classified intelligence to Russian diplomats broke the Post's record for readers per second clicking on the article. Kessler said the newsroom brok...

**Written by Doug Powers Echoing what I'm guessing were the reactions in many newsrooms across the country, a recent interview confirms that Saturday Night Live cast members, who had all but already anointed Hillary Clinton as the next president, were incredibly depressed just after seeing their hopes, dreams and assumptions scrubbed so fast that BleachBit must have been used: The cast members of the long-running NBC sketch show told the Hollywood Reporter they sobbed and did not know what to wr...

The kid was wearing a MAGA hat so Comey's not going to actually eat them. It's true because one of the many “anonymous sources” that are now available in such great abundance told me. If at future congressional hearings Comey doesn't say anything helpful to the Dems' election narrative they'll be back to hating him again. Have a good Sunday all! **Written by Doug Powers Twitter **Written by Doug Powers First off, happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! Sunday open thread, Mother's Day ed...

**Written by Doug Powers The looming end of Obama-era school lunch regs that were championed by Michelle Obama has displeased the former First Lady, and for the first time in years, she's not proud of her country's school lunch direction: Without mentioning President Donald Trump by name, she urged parents to think about the government's decision and “look at motives.” “You have to stop and think, ‘Why don't you want our kids to have good food at school? What is wrong with you and why is that a ...

**Written by Doug Powers How many times in the past few months have Democrats used the term “hacked the election” to describe Russia's meddling in order to imply the vote tallies were altered? I don't know the exact answer, but it's a lot: Fast forward to today, when Trump launched a voter fraud panel. Dems are apoplectic: President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday forming a commission on voter fraud and elections, an action many Democrats say is aimed at justifying his unfound...

**Written by Doug Powers 2017 isn't even half over but it's unlikely we'll eclipse the kind of journalism we've seen so far this year. Via @KassyDillon, bask in this CNN screen shot: Rumor has it Woodward and Bernstein have optioned the story from CNN for a sequel titled “All the President's Mint Chocolate Chip.” Now I know what Dems mean when they sound the alarm about a “constitutional crisis”: President Donald Trump is living every child's dream: More ice cream. According to an extensive in...

**Written by Doug Powers Bernie Sanders has a hope when it comes to confirming the next FBI director: Sorry, Bernie, but… The landmines Harry Reid just keep getting stepped on. This, from 2013, is on the website of the senator who wants 60 votes to get something done: “This country faces major crises in terms of the economy and unemployment, the deficit, global warming, health care, campaign finance reform, education and a crumbling infrastructure – to name a few.

**Written by Doug Powers And the Shameless Trump-triggered Public Servant of the Week award goes to… US Ambassador to Qatar Dana Shell Smith appeared to criticize President Trump in a tweet on Wednesday, expressing frustration at the news coming out of the United States. “Increasingly difficult to wake up overseas to news from home, knowing I will spend today explaining our democracy and institutions,” Smith said in her tweet.

**Written by Doug Powers Just watch the first minute or so, because it's a lesson in how to herd a confused audience that's been exposed to Dems slamming the FBI director for quite some and now doesn't quite know what to think at this point. Colbert started off by breaking the news of President Trump's firing of James Comey — The audience roared in approval. A surprised Colbert then said the crowd must be loaded with “HUGE Donald Trump fans.” After that, Colbert mentioned Jeff Sessions (who rec...
