New in PJ Media:
You’d think the Democrats would have learned a lesson. They lost the presidency to a man whom they and their media propagandists relentlessly demonized for eight years. They lost both houses of congress. The number of people who say they’re Democrats is in steep decline. The election results should been an occasion for soul-searching, with party top dogs reconsidering their embrace of every leftist cultural fad that comes down the pike, no matter how destructive it is to individuals and the nation. But the party mascot isn’t a donkey for nothing. On Saturday, the Dems elected a new leader, and in the process, showed that the 2024 election results haven’t taught them a single solitary thing.
Fox News reported Saturday that at the annual winter meeting of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), which must have been a grim and angry gathering even in the years when the Democrats were running the table and winning at all levels, the assembled leftists, lunatics and lilliputians elected Minnesota party chief Ken Martin as their new national chair.
Fox observed that “the election of Martin is the party’s first formal step to try and rebound from the November elections, in which President Donald Trump recaptured the White House, and Republicans flipped the Senate, held on to their fragile majority in the House and made major gains with working-class, minority and younger voters.” Apparently the Democrats have decided to “try and rebound” by doing exactly the same things they did before, for the choice of Martin doesn’t represent even the smallest break with the principles and approaches of the party of Barack Obama, Old Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris.
Indeed, Martin is a made guy, a pillar of the Democrat old guard. Fox notes that “over the past eight years,” Martin “has served as a DNC vice chair and has led the association of state Democratic Party chairs.” And now that he is DNC chair, he is ready with a fresh new message that isn’t anything like what Democrats have said before.
“We have one team, one team, the Democratic Party,” Martin, flush with victory, told his DNC accomplices. “The fight is for our values. The fight is for working people. The fight right now is against Donald Trump and the billionaires who bought this country.”
That’s right: in the teeth of clear evidence that the Democrat Party has become the party of the political and cultural elites, who are increasingly out of touch with what the actual working people of this country have had to endure because of years of Democrat misrule, the new DNC chair has doubled down. All he had to offer was the same old tired rhetoric about how the party of men who think they’re women and socialist internationalist traitors who never saw an America-hater they didn’t like is fighting for ordinary folks against the top-hatted plutocrats.
There is more. Read the rest here.

I voted for Trump, but I used to be a Democrat. I’m sure there are plenty of other people like me. Yet, never once have the Democrats done anything to try to bring me back to the party. They always vilify anyone who leaves, as though that will help matters.

I think the US should follow a political course like Israel. In Israel, Labour was once the prime leftist opposition party, but after several bad experiments w/ making concessions to the Palis, they finally went extinct, and in their place is the Blue & White Party. Similarly, the Libertarians should replace the Dems as the main non-GOP party. Those who are budget hawks, want to minimize foreign adventures, et al can switch from (R) to (L), while Democrats who aren’t race-conscious, sex-crazed communists can switch from (D) to (R)
Those Dems who are race-conscious, sex-crazed communists can switch to the Green Party. They can merge w/ the Democrat Socialist Party of America

Interesting idea, Infidel.

The insane policy of forever TDS of the democratic party will cost both federal elective spots and local elections both in cities and possibly governor spot in states. The lack of any policies that address common things the average American voter is concern about ,or wants to change in government beside orange man is bad lets go after orange man is unbelievable .Who are they going to run against Trumps replacement do they not see that Trump will be out in 4 years .What policy change besides unlimited immigration ,the green new scheme that lowest our standard of living while inside trading by both members of the Senate and house representatives fatting their pockets. While many cities on the left coast of California are soon to be ankle deep in human waste in the streets plus homeless taking over the streets or burn to the ground for lack of planning on water resources. Hundreds of thousands of American’s die from cheap fentanyl .imported from Mexico with supplies of chemicals brought from China to Mexico. What is the plan for the democrats to stop this madness get orange man Orange Man bad we are good because the democrats love violent criminals ,homeless encampments ,race grifters ,jihadists and the average American racing to the bottom of the economic ladder. That America last has work real well for them in the last 10 years I tell you.AS shades of world war three on the horizon with forever wars ,and jihads take over most of western Europe and blue cities start to look like third world hell holes the democrats go into a kamikaze dive at the ship SS Trump administration to try to say he was treasons in his actions ?Talk about projection on steroids’ ,talk
about gas lighting the MSM is dying because they backed these clowns for the last 3 decades .Yes more of the same spend billions on endless unlimited immigration ,spend billions on homeless encampments that grow every day ,spend and send billions to third world governments who hate us, spend billions on forever wars all over the world .While you are at it sponsor drag queen story hour for preschoolers , have porn comic books for grade school children as homework assignments. Lobby and pimp for big pharma to get the average American hook on as many drugs as you can pump into them at the earliest possible age. A blind man can see these policies will cause the democratic party to crash into the sea and miss the target they are aiming at.

The nation is getting divided by blue cities ,and red areas. Most people including some life long time democrats voted for Trump in 2024 or he would not have won the popular vote .I believe register democrats out number register republicans. The democrats plan to “import” a vast number of unvetted people many of them will never or do not want to integrate to our society and or cultural is a failing plan now that Trump has been elected. Most of us” normal” people want kitchen table issues addressed ,the economy ,general stability of society ,jobs ,education policy for our children that addresses reading ,math ,science ,leaving woke nonsense and general politics out of the class room. We believe as Martin Luther King Jr. believed we should have a merit system where people are judge by their merit and not skin color ,religion , or anything else. The democratic plan or not changing their failed policies is a plan for failure .DEI, the importation of millions of unvetted immigrates ,unstable society ,Trans fringe groups demands ,have been rejected by the majority of society by this election. This is the most important election in my life time and I am over 60 years old. This election can effect condition in Europe ,Asia ,the Middle East ,Africa ,this a push back to the ruling elite .It is the first time I have felt positive in four years that maybe we can avoid a world war, maybe we can have a government that puts America first.. Maybe other countries in western Europe ,North America South America <central America ,Africa and Asia can address their own problems ,not export their problems to the first world or expect America to keep their failed governments in office with billions of dollars of aid ,no strings attached .Tariffs are a tool ,foreign aid comes with conditions ,we have to address our own problems before we address foreign leaders failures in their own countries.

Yes, agreed, the cities are lost

Trump just shut down the officers in Washington DC that are responsible for foreign aid .The statement from his administration was that the federal officials where refusing to hand over records that his administration was asking for! They are lock out of their computer sign on accounts and their officers (the so call civil servants in charge of handing out foreign aid) we will see who breaks who ! My money is on Trump is not fing around anymore ,maybe the rest of the not my president on the government payroll will get the message .If your boss makes a reasonable request for information on what you are working on you should give him a reasonable answer and comply with the request.
WPM says
USAID head staffers who handle billions of dollars in aid world wide .Musk call them” a criminal organization” they have been all put on leave as of today Feb. 3 ,2025! I am sure the democrats are going to be very upset ask them how much aid, money, funding, mucho dino, highway funds ,education funds ,water project funds ,pet project funds ,funds to nonprofits to their own districts would they be will to divert to “foreign aid ” anywhere in the world outside of their districts?
James Lincoln says
I remember, just after the 2024 US Presidential Election, that many America First Republicans stated that the current crop of Democrats will have “learned nothing”. At the time, I thought maybe they would learn “a little something”, but I was wrong:
They have learned NOTHING!
Even crazy James Carville said that they had a problem with getting “their message out” prior to the election.
The truth is that the vast majority of the American people just DID NOT LIKE their message! And the Democrats absolutely FAIL to acknowledge this fact.
Fox News just posted an article about how totally crazy the current Democrats are:
