#TrumpDerangementSyndrome I can understand not liking the way the Iranian government was struck, but it boggles my mind than any sane person can be sad about it.

As I have previously noted, I was not in favor of the United States launching the attack on Iran; I most certainly wanted the clerical government to fall, and freedom to come to that country, but I wanted the people of Iran to do the job, not have is do so. That said, it is very heartening that so many of the Iranian leadership have been sent to Jahannam and their 72 bacha bazi boys. It’s far too early to know what kind of government will arise from the attack, and leading people like the New Republic’s Michael Tomasky, who admits to proceeding from a position that he “consider(s) Trump a walking malignancy in virtually every imaginable way, a cruel charlatan and sociopath who has done untold damage to the nation and world over the years,” to write that it’s improbable that things will eventually turn out decently.

But at some point you have to wonder about the Westerners demonstrating in support of the now late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the oppressive Iranian government. Under the mad clerics, Iran was sponsoring anti-Western and especially anti-Jewish terrorism anywhere they could. The October 7th massacre was launched by Hamas, but they could only do so due to the monetary and war materiel support they received from Iran. Iran wanted the war to hold up the movement of Saudi Arabia to sign on to the Abraham Accords, because the last thing the mullahs wanted was peace between Israel and the Arab nations. Are American liberals so consumed with #TrumpDerangementSyndrome that they’d rather see girls executed for being raped, women slain for not wearing the hijab properly, and homosexuals publicly hanged by construction cranes than President Trump get a major foreign policy win?

Yes, of course that’s a rhetorical question; that’s exactly how some of our leftists feel. If Mr Trump cured cancer, they’d combitch that he was putting doctors and nurses out of work. Our left have become so stupid that they are going to support people who would happily kill them as long as those people are opposed to Western civilization. They use their freedom of speech and of the press to disseminate views in support of people and governments which would deny them freedom of speech and of the press.

The left try to tell us that they are just so much smarter than we evil, reich-wing conservatives, so much more educated, yet it seems that, today at least, when Mr Trump is in office at least, that they are a dumb as a box of rocks. I can understand not liking the way the Iranian government was struck, but it boggles my mind than any sane person can be sad about it.

The absolute insanity of “sanctuary” policies It seems that none of the credentialed media wanted to report on this

You know, I get it: some of our good friends on the left really, really think that the people who came to the United States seeking a better life are, at heart, good people, who should be allowed to stay in the United States and contribute to our culture, society, and economy. But even if that is the way you feel, does it make sense to try to shield this man from Immigration and Customs Enforcement?

The Enforcement and Removal Operations Philadelphia office tweeted:

On Feb. 11, @EROPhiladelphia arrested Ibrahim George Kallon, an illegal alien from Sierra Leone in C/O (Corrections Officer — DRP) training at DelCo (Delaware County, Pennsylvania — DRP) Prison. In 2025, Kallon was charged w/ rape, IDSI, sexual assault and false imprisonment. @DelCoPa released him without alerting ICE! Now in our custody!

One of my Philadelphia friends, who goes by the nom de guerre Stinky Feat, responded to ERO Philadelphia’s tweet with this information:

🚨 I’m told that this illegal alien and accused rapist so graciously had their bail decreased to ONE DOLLAR immediately after ICE agents attempted to take him into federal custody and were denied 🚨 This is what @delcotimes should be reporting on if true

According to court documents, the image of which my good friend provided, Mr Kallon was arrested on June 21, 2025, with bail set at $250,000, a hardly excessive amount for someone charged with Forcible Rape, Title 18 §3121(a)(1), a first-degree felony in the Keystone State, which carries a sentence of greater than ten and up to twenty years in prison.

Mr Kallon was unable to make that bail, and, as an early Christmas present, on December 4, 2025, his bail was reduced to $100,000, with a required 10% to be posted to get him out of the hoosegow. He apparently could not make that, either, but then, on February 5th, his bail was reduced to $1.00, one stinking dollar, and he was released, released without notifying ICE that an illegal immigrant charged with false imprisonment and forcible rape was set free.

Fortunately, ERO was able to apprehend this alleged rapist.

Site searches of both the Delaware County Daily Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer returned nothing on the case. A google search returned nothing more than has been documented here. It seems that none of the credentialed media chose to report on this.

But really, who in their right mind, even someone who doesn’t support President Trump’s immigration policies, would set someone like Mr Kallon loose like that? This isn’t a case of a hard-working construction worker who got busted because he had a headlight burned out and no driver’s license, but a man accused of forcible rape!

I could understand a policy which attempted to shield the decent people, but policies to not report an illegal immigrant who is a real criminal to ICE? How does that make sense, other than the left hating President Trump more than they care about American citizens.

Will Bunch and due process of law

This site’s favorite whipping boy, The Philadelphia Inquirer’s far, far, far left columnist Will Bunch, who’s even crazier than Amanda Marcotte if such a thing is possible, has told us how important it is to enforce the law. We have previously noted how The Philadelphia Inquirer’s radical left columnist Will Bunch was adamant in his support for legality, railing against President Trump’s pardon of the January 6th Capitol kerfufflers, even though the vast majority of them had already been punished, already served their sentences, his indignation over the United States sinking drug trafficking boats rather than arresting the drug traffickers, and, as we reported last June, his support for illegal immigrant and accused wife beater Kilmar Abrego Garcia, insisting that this illegal immigrant be given the full protection of the laws. He was all about the law when President Trump was eliminating drug trafficking boats coming from Venezuela, an action that Philadelphians should at least somewhat understand given the Hellhole that the Kensington neighborhood has become with strung out junkies sleeping on the sidewalks, in alleys and the Allegheny Avenue SEPTA station.

Mr Bunch even said that he did not “like” President Biden’s final flurry of pardons “at all,” though he claimed that “they were understandable” to protect critics of then-incoming President Trump. Clearly, Mr Bunch believed the Democrats mantra of “no one is above the law,” used when they were trying to throw Mr Trump in prison.

But, when it comes to our immigration laws, all of a sudden he doesn’t want those enforced. Apprehending and deporting illegals he told us is indistinguishable from the Geheime Staatspolizei rounding up Jews to send them to the concentration camps and their deaths.

Now we have this:

Europe is holding its Epstein creeps accountable. Why can’t we?

Europeans are pushing to hold Jeffrey Epstein’s creepy pals, including billionaires like Elon Musk, accountable. The U.S.? Not so much.

by Will Bunch | Sunday, February 8, 2026 |12:56 PM EST

The slow drip of the U.S. government’s still grossly incomplete release of its files on late financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has nonetheless become a who’s who of Planet Earth’s rich and famous — from billionaires like Bill Gates and Elon Musk to cultural icons like filmmaker Woody Allen and, of course, two presidents.

You can see what the distinguished Mr Bunch did. He wants us to associate Messrs Gates, Allen, Musk, Bill Clinton, and, of course Donald Trump with Mr Epstein’s sex trafficking, because that’s for which the late financier is spectacularly infamous.

The average American paying any attention to this global bonfire of the vanities probably barely noticed this name: longtime British politico Peter Mandelson, who most recently served as the U.K.’s ambassador to the United States.

Across the pond, it was another story. The Fleet Street tabloid press went wild over revelations that Mandelson — a key insider in the ruling Labor Party, long known to have been one of Epstein’s globetrotting pals — maintained his close ties even after the American’s 2008 child-prostitution conviction, writing Epstein in 2009 to hail his release from jail as “liberation day.”

But unlike the fallout in the United States, Mandelson’s Epstein problem didn’t end with some embarrassing headlines. Back in September, when an initial batch of Epstein’s emails went public, Prime Minister Keir Starmer — Mandelson’s longtime ally — immediately fired his friend from his ambassador’s post in D.C., and the scandal has only intensified.

Mr Bunch wants Americans named in the Epstein files ‘held .  .  . accountable,’ as he sees Mr Mandelson so being. But how was the now former Ambassador held accountable? He was fired from his appointed post by the man who appointed him, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, after the British tabloids had a field day going “wild” over the revelations.

Yet, through several subsequent paragraphs, Mr Bunch mentions only resignations by prominent people mentioned in the Epstein files. Oddly enough, the columnist who so vociferously wanted due process of law and a presumption of evidence for Mr Abrego Garcia seems totally uninterested in such for the Americans he hates, which means, of course, President Trump and Mr Musk.

The time-lapsed released of the Epstein files hasn’t yet produced a smoking gun concerning his close friendship with Trump, but the fact that lurid tips to federal authorities about the two-time president don’t seem to have been really investigated speaks volumes about the utter lack of elite accountability on this side of the Atlantic.

“(D)on’t seem to have been really investigated”, huh? The Epstein files have been under the control of President Trump and his subordinates for one year and 19 days so far, but they were under the control of then-President Joe Biden and his Attorney General, Merrick Garland, who absolutely hates Republicans for denying him a seat on the Supreme Court for four full years. It could reasonably be argued that the Biden Administration could not do much with them until the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell was concluded, but she was convicted on December 29, 2021, leaving the previous administration, an administration determined to do all it could to put Mr Trump in prison and prevent him from ever becoming President again, all of 2022, 2023, and 2024 to pore through those files. The Democrats would like us to believe that yes, there really is incriminating evidence against Mr Trump in those files, but somehow, some way, they never went through the files.

How stupid would you have to believe something like that?

Even Mr Bunch described Mr Epstein as a “late financier and sex trafficker,” which means that at least some of his contacts were about finance rather than young girls; contact with Mr Epstein simply proves contact with him, not sexual offenses. Mr Bunch, like the rest of the #TrumpDerangementSyndrome-afflicted, want to assume that contact must mean knowledge of and cooperation with Mr Epstein’s sex trafficking operation, but that’s not the case. More, for Mr Bunch, who was so very concerned that Mr Abrego Garcia receive due process of law, wants to see punished anyone who spoke with Mr Epstein, even if such contact had nothing to do with trafficking young girls.

The internet has not made the left smarter; it has really made them stupid

Remember how people used to say that a lack of information was responsible for people doing or saying some not bright things? Remember how our good friends on the left have been claiming that it was only stupid and ignorant people who voted for Donald Trump? Paula on Bluesky told me that President Trump “was elected by uneducated, ignorant people,” and that “His core voters are not educable. They are the worst among us who feel unrestrained in their racism and sexism and other ugly beliefs. The ones who were just taken in by his lies have already turned against him.”

And so we come to Lexie Lawler:

Boca Raton nurse fired after viral video wishing birth complications on Trump press secretary

By Joel Lopez | Friday, January 23, 2026 | 7:17 PM EST

A nurse at Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital has been fired after posting a viral social media video wishing health complications on President Donald Trump’s press secretary during childbirth.

A woman identified as Lexie Lawler, who said she was a labor and delivery nurse in the 14-second video, recorded herself wishing Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt would suffer a fourth-degree tear during childbirth with long-term complications.

Lawler also used a derogatory term to describe Leavitt in the video. Leavitt announced her pregnancy on Instagram in December, saying she’s expecting a baby girl in May. A LinkedIn profile under the same name indicates Lawler worked at Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital.

There’s more at the original.

The lovely Miss Lawler, who apparently did have access to all of the information she could ever want, given that she has a internet connection which enabled her to post on Tik Tok, went on a rant which Chaya Raichik, who started and operates the Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — site Libs of TikTok found, and tweeted it out, and made it viral.

Miss Lawler was fired by her now-former employer, saying “While we respect the right to personal opinions, there is no place in healthcare for language or behavior that calls into question a caregiver’s ability to provide compassionate, unbiased care.”

Then we saw the story of how security guards and emergency room personnel at NYU Langone Health in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn delayed and tried to deny treatment for a minor injury to a New York Police Department detective following a scuffle with a suspect because they mistook them for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, agents. Emergency room personnel are doctors and nurses, who are all college educated, yet some of them were stupid enough to break the long-standing medical ethic of not denying emergency treatment.

The famously childless Amanda Marcotte, who declared that if her birth control ever failed — something unlikely now, since she is 48 years old — she’d get an abortion, is all in on hating pregnancy even for other women:

Everyone’s heard of someone having a baby in a doomed bid to save a marriage. But to save a fascist ideological project is a new one. OK, OK — no one can prove that Second Lady Usha Vance, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and Katie Miller, the wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, all got pregnant as a concurrent MAGA propaganda project. No more, anyway, than we can say that it’s anything but a wild coincidence that nearly all the women vying for Donald Trump‘s favor seem to have undergone the same intensive cosmetic surgery regimen to achieve “Mar-a-Lago face.” But it sure is lucky timing that all these women got pregnant, right when the MAGA coalition is starting to feel forlorn, torn asunder by infighting and the growing sense that the president’s declining health does not bode well for their future.

Also see: Darleen Click, “AWFL Marcotte Throws Tantrum ‘Babies are White Supremacy’“

Jokes aside, all these pregnancies would likely be unremarkable except for the fact that the MAGA movement is obsessed with making babies. Vice President JD Vance famously spent years denouncing childless women as “miserable,” “sociopaths” and claiming they “must be stopped” from having a role in public life. Billionaire Elon Musk frequently rails about the supposed dangers to humanity from slightly lower birth rates. Kevin Roberts, the architect of Project 2025 who heads the Heritage Foundation, even ranted in his book about the evils of dog parks on the unpersuasive grounds that well-to-do urban women were substituting pet ownership for their duty to have more children. The late Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, frequently scolded women to give up their careers to have “more kids than they can afford.” There’s even Natal Con, an annual right-wing conference attended mostly by men, who get together and hype the idea that American wombs are being under-utilized by the women who still have control over them.

Miss Marcotte referred to it as “the GOP’s mini-baby boom,” but perhaps it’s not so mini after all:

(T)hese authors looked at young adults ages 25 to 35 who self-identify as liberal or conservative. They found that young liberal women today are much less likely to have children than young conservative women, with a gap of more than 30 percentage points.

USA Today columnist Ingrid Jacques reported:

Families have also been moving to red states that better reflect their values. In states where Trump won the popular vote, the aggregate child population increased by 7.3% since 2000. The opposite was true in states where Harris won the popular vote – the child population decreased by 7.1%.

No wonder Miss Marcotte is slamming pregnancies among Trump Administration families! She hates everything about President Trump, and his supporters reproducing? Heaven forfend! She concluded:

If readers are skeptical that the Millers will convince anyone that Mr. Miller is besting Ocasio-Cortez in the attractiveness category — well, let’s just say equally unpersuasive is the entire effort to sell the MAGA mini-baby boom as a meaningful shift in the broader American culture toward having bigger families. Despite all the right-wing media hype around these pregnancies, the response of the general public has cut against their hopes that this would lead to a Great Fertility Awakening among young women, who suddenly realize they need to quit their jobs to spend the next 20 years of their life staying constantly pregnant. Usha Vance’s pregnancy was mostly met with jokes about how she’s trying to steal her husband back from Erika Kirk. The Millers were greeted with speculation that the real father of the their child is Elon Musk. Leavitt’s announcement inspired cracks about how pregnant women aren’t supposed to use fillers, along with jokes about the 32-year age gap that exists between her and her 60-year-old husband: “Closer in age to the baby than her husband btw,” one Instagram user noted.

Apparently the writer hasn’t heard about the real surge in pregnancies among conservative women, or, perhaps it’s simply a dearth of them among her ideological fellow travelers. With plenty of access to that internet thingy Al Gore invented, she still does not seem to have heard about it. Perhaps, just perhaps, it isn’t the “uneducated” and “ignorant” who are the conservatives, but our oh-so-haughty friends on the left.

#TrumpDerangementSyndrome: the left are wholly upset, but the Venezuelan people are overjoyed. Who can actually be angry that Nicolas Maduro is out of power, except the leftist sympathizers?

I will admit to not having liked the fact that the United States armed forces were used to capture Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, because the last thing I want is the US involved in yet another war, but it’s very easy to appreciate that the tinhorn dictator has been removed. I do worry that there is enough #TrumpDerangementSyndrome in the United States that it may be impossible to find a jury which will convict the now former dictator, because the American left hate President Donald Trump so much that they’d be mad if he cured cancer or walked across the reflecting pool. New York City’s new socialist Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, was particularly upset, though, as one commenter to his tweet said, “‘Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law’ – sorry I thought this was a statement from October 8th 2023, but I think you had phrased that one differently…”

The Louisville Courier-Journal had this interesting report:

Report: Delta Force practiced Maduro extraction in Kentucky

by Leo Bertucci | Sunday, January 4, 2026 | 11:47 AM EST

Commandos in the elite U.S. Army unit tasked with extracting Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro and his wife early Jan. 3 trained for their mission using a full-scale model of the Maduro compound built in Kentucky, The New York Times reported.

Leading up to “Operation Absolute Resolve” in Venezuela, Delta Force commandos “practiced blowing through steel doors at ever-faster paces” inside the model compound constructed by the Joint Special Operations Command, The Times reported.

Alas! What my best friend used to refer to as the Curious Journal is hidden behind a paywall, and I do not subscribe to it; I’m paying out enough for the newspapers to which I do subscribe, one of which is The New York Times, so, even though I’m always willing to give a Kentucky source its props, I have to go to the Times for more.

In August, a clandestine team of C.I.A. officers slipped into Venezuela with a plan to collect information on Nicolás Maduro, the country’s president, whom the Trump administration had labeled a narco-terrorist.

The C.I.A. team moved about Caracas, remaining undetected for months while it was in the country. The intelligence gathered about the Venezuelan leader’s daily movements — combined with a human source close to Mr. Maduro and a fleet of stealth drones flying secretly above — enabled the agency to map out minute details about his routines.

That’s the kind of mission which put agents at serious risk, because the United States does not have an open embassy in Caracas, meaning that none of the agents had diplomatic immunity.

It was a highly dangerous mission. With the U.S. embassy closed, the C.I.A. officers could not operate under the cloak of diplomatic cover. But it was highly successful. Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at a news conference that because of the intelligence gathered by the team, the United States knew where Mr. Maduro moved, what he ate and even what pets he kept.

El Presidenté moved around a lot, and the mission required certain knowledge of where he would be.

In contrast to messy U.S. interventions of the past — by the military in Panama or the C.I.A. in Cuba — the operation to grab Mr. Maduro was virtually flawless, according to multiple officials familiar with the details, some of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the plans.

In the run-up, Delta Force commandos rehearsed the extraction inside a full-scale model of Mr. Maduro’s compound that the Joint Special Operations Command had built in Kentucky. They practiced blowing through steel doors at ever-faster paces.

The military had been readying for days to execute the mission, waiting for good weather conditions and a time when the risk of civilian casualties would be minimized.

Translation: this mission had been laid on for months. The model of Mr Maduro’s compound had to be constructed, the plan and the team put together, and practice time organized. Yet, with all of that, the secrecy of the mission was kept.

Let me be clear about this: while the Democrats in Congress have been whining that President Trump didn’t notify them in advance, if they weren’t notified it’s because some of them would have immediately gotten the message to Venezuela to sabotage the mission! Can you picture what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the rest of her squadristi, or Bernie Sanders, or Eric Swalwell would have done if they had learned of the mission in advance?

That the United States was forced to take this move is unfortunate, and we should absolutely not try to occupy Venezuela, but only the truly deranged haters of President Trump, such as Will Bunch, linked below, can actually be sorry that Mr Maduro is now in prison. There’s no guarantee that this will Make Venezuela Great Again, but it’s certainly a step in that direction.

#TrumpDerangementSyndrome: the left and the media go nuts over bruising on President Trump’s hands

Searching Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — for Trump bruised hand brings up scads of tweets, mostly from our good friends on the left, searching for something, anything! to somehow trash our 47th President. Shredder Girl wrote, “CNN ignored every concern about Joe Biden’s health but they’re all over Trump’s bruised hand”.

Bruising on Trump’s left hand sparks renewed questions about his health

By Adam Cancryn | New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2025

New bruising on Donald Trump’s left hand is reviving questions about his health nearly one year after he became the oldest president to take the oath of office.

Across a series of events last week, the 79-year-old Trump appeared with discoloration or light bruising on the back of his left hand, in addition to the more persistent bruise on his right hand that has been visible for months.

The new bruise appears to complicate the White House’s explanation that the right-handed Trump developed the bruising through constant handshaking along with a regular regimen of aspirin that can make such discoloration more common.

And while medical experts told CNN there is no fresh cause for concern, calling it a likely benign condition common in older people, they warned that Trump’s reluctance to be more transparent about his health only threatens to intensify the scrutiny that he’s struggled all year to escape.

“They’re just feeding the curiosity cycle,” said Dr. Jeffrey Linder, chief of general internal medicine at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine. “He’s in the public eye, he has a certain image he wants to portray, and even these minor things detract from that image.”

Donald Trump is President of the United States, and the President’s health is always something of a public concern, but somehow, some way, our credentialed media managed to ignore every concern about the health of our 46th President, even as he was tripping on stairs, losing his train of thought, and just plain zoning out in public, right up until they couldn’t hide things any more.

Didn’t President Joe Biden look handsome and strong and healthy there? That’s the image the Democrats and the Biden campaign tried to project, and you were supposed to believe it. The tweet screen captured to the right is time-stamped at 10:53 PM, after the debate.

Jennifer Rubin is the former ‘neoconservative’ columnist and warmonger for The Washington Post, always agitating for more money and weapons to keep the Russo-Ukrainian War going, and completely infected by #TrumpDerangementSyndrome. On May 19, 2024, she wrote:

President Biden took the media and political world by surprise in challenging Donald Trump to two debates — and then swiftly accepting offers from CNN and ABC. Trump accepted the debates, on June 27 and Sept. 10, but whether he will show up is another matter.

Yup, Mr Trump showed up! Oops! Then the whole nation saw what the credentialed media, the ones who tell us All the News That’s Fit to Print, the ones who say that Democracy Dies in Darkness, didn’t previously print, didn’t want to life the darkness.

It’s hardly the first time that the credentialed media stifled any criticisms of a presidential candidate’s health: they covered up for Hillary Clinton as well, her several falls and then her brief lapse into catatonia, minimizing what they couldn’t completely hide.

But, alas! it seems that the media being reticent only applies to Democratic candidates.

Is Mr Trump’s health in question? He is, after all, 79 years old, he’s obese, and he loves his junk food. He has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition among older adults, something which can explain his frequently swollen ankles. But somehow, some way, I don’t see that stuff as being disqualifying for Mr Trump to continue as President. Franklin Roosevelt managed to lead us through World War II when he was mostly dependent upon a wheelchair, and could only walk with heavy metal braces on his legs.

The Democrats thought that Joe Biden could run again, even though he was clearly sinking into dementia, all because they hate Republicans in general, and Mr Trump very, very specifically.

But now the left are fixated on our current President’s ankles and bruised hands.

Nevertheless, at his advanced age, it’s always possible that Mr Trump could fall too ill to do his job, or even die. But that’s where we are fortunate, in that the insipid Mike Pence is not Vice President, and J D Vance is. I suppose it would then be his turn to be ‘literally Hitler.’

Reality bites San Fran Nan!

When Representative Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House of Representatives, she delighted in trying to impeach President Donald Trump, and forced through Articles of Impeachment not once, but twice, including one after he had been defeated for re-election in 2020 and was leaving office, hoping to attaint him from being eligible to run for President again in 2024.

Pelosi suggests Trump has no ‘reason’ to be impeached third time if Democrats retake House

The former House speaker presided over both previous Trump impeachments during his first term

By Lindsay Kornick, Fox News | Tuesday, December 16, 2025 | 6:30 AM EST

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., suggested that there was currently not enough cause to impeach President Donald Trump for a third time.

During an interview with USA Today’s Susan Page released on Saturday, Pelosi was asked whether the Democratic Party should consider impeaching Trump again if they retake the House in 2026.

“The person most responsible for impeaching President Trump when I was speaker was President Trump,” Pelosi began. “He gave us no choice. He crossed the line in his telephone call with President Zelenskyy as one manifestation of his disrespect for the Constitution, his jeopardizing the sanctity of our own elections in our country, and the rest.”

LOL! A telephone call with Volodymyr Zelenskyy?

The two impeachments showed how much the lovely Mrs Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats were infected with #TrumpDerangementSyndrome, because they knew the math was against them. And the math is against them now.

There are 33 Senate seats up for election in 2026, 20 of which are held by Republicans; the Democrats currently control 47 seats, including two held by (ostensibly) independents who caucus with the Democrats. An impeachment requires 67 votes to convict and remove from office, meaning that the Democrats would have to win every single Senate race in 2026 to have the votes to remove President Trump. And, even if they did, J D Vance, who they’ll hate just as much, becomes President.

San Fran Nan, who we all thank for becoming a private citizen at the end of this year, called Mr Trump a “rogue President,” and blamed the failed impeachments on a “rogue Senate”. It did not, and never would, occur to her that the impeachments were just the Democrats being stupid.

This time? The left could try to impeach over the President ordering the sinking of Venezuelan drug smugglers boats, but maybe she has figured out that championing drug cartels and smugglers isn’t a winning move. The Democrats could try to impeach based on the President’s aggressive enforcement of our immigration laws, but it wasn’t that long ago that they were telling us that “no one is above the law,” and “no one” would include illegal immigrants. The left could try to impeach him for sending the National Guard to try to reduce crime in some of our waste-case cities, but perhaps she has realized that trying to unseat the President to defend street criminals might not be the look the Democrats want.

But the real reason? For all of the Democrats efforts to trash and take down President Trump, efforts which have extended for nine years now, the American people still chose him to become President again in 2024, in an election in which he carried every seriously contested state, and in which he defeated the Democratic candidate in the popular vote as well as the electoral college. Perhaps, just perhaps, Mrs Pelosi is realizing that President Trump is just stronger than the Democrats!

Democrisy: There’s nothing the Democrats hate more than President Trump actually enforcing the laws

On Wednesday, The Philadelphia Inquirer published a decent article on a wound care clinic in Kensington, the center of the drug trade in the City of Brotherly Love, and how they’ve been struggling with injuries caused by “tranq,” the veterinary tranquilizer xylazine, which was never approved for use in humans, which dealers have been using to ‘cut’ opioids, to give them a longer effect.

Inside a Kensington wound care clinic

Xylazine, which was never approved for human use, has wreaked havoc in Kensington. Amputations among opioid users have more than doubled.

by Aubrey Whelan | Wednesday, November 26, 2025 | 5:00 AM EST

In a small clinic room at Mother of Mercy House on Allegheny Avenue in Kensington, Emma Anderson unwrapped a bandage from a man’s swollen hand.

“It hurts really bad in the cold,” the man said, wincing at the inflamed wound that covered most of a right-hand finger.

Cleaning it with saline solution proved so painful that Anderson, an EMT and St. Joseph’s University student, let the patient take the lead, wiping carefully at the yellowish-white tissue at the center of the wound.

It was his second time attending the wound care clinic at Mother of Mercy, the Catholic nonprofit that twice a week opens its doors to people with addiction dealing with the serious skin lesions, caused by the animal tranquilizer xylazine, that can develop into wounds so severe the only treatment is amputation.

There follows a long section telling readers about the work the Mother of Mercy House does, which is not necessary for this article, but I recommend readers to follow the embedded link to read it.

Much further down:

This year, medetomidine, another animal tranquilizer that causes severe withdrawal, has supplanted xylazine’s dominance in the Philadelphia area drug supply. Fewer patients addicted to opioids are visiting emergency rooms with soft-tissue damage, according to city data.

But it’s unknown how medetomidine affects those wounds, and there are still enough people suffering from them in Kensington, the epicenter of the city’s opioid crisis, that the clinic felt it necessary to increase its hours.

One doubts that the move away from xylazine by the drug dealers was meant for altruistic reasons. If medetomidine causes severe drug withdrawals, it would seem to be something to ‘encourage’ junkies to keep buying the junk.

But then there was Friday morning’s lead editorial:

It’s Trump — not service members — who could benefit from a reminder about following the law | Editorial

There’s nothing seditious about Democrats reminding military members not to follow unlawful orders.

by The Editorial Board | Friday, November 28, 2025 | 5:00 AM EST

Six lawmakers, including two from Pennsylvania, had good reason to remind military members not to follow unlawful orders, given Donald Trump’s illicit history and recent actions, such as sending federal troops into cities and boat strikes that violate international law.

The six Democrats, who either served in the military or the intelligence community, posted a short video telling their former counterparts that “no one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.”

As William Teach noted, Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), one of the six Democrats who made that short video, admitted:

To my knowledge, I am not aware of things that are illegal — but certainly there are some legal gymnastics that are going on with these Caribbean strikes, and everything related to Venezuela.

And even the Editorial Board backtracked somewhat:

For example, the legality of Trump’s boat strikes — which have killed more than 80 people — is dubious.

A secret U.S. Department of Justice memo reportedly blessed the strikes by claiming the U.S. is in an armed conflict with drug cartels. But members of Congress from both parties argue it is illegal to target civilians — even suspected criminals — who do not pose an imminent threat. The United Nations’ human rights chief said the strikes violated international law.

It isn’t sedition for the six Democrats to make a video stating that American servicemen do not have to obey illegal orders, but their intent is clear: they wanted to cause some servicemembers to question orders that Senator Slotkin herself were not illegal. The Editorial Board certainly want you to believe that the strikes are illegal.

So, here we have the very same editors, who have read or should have read the previously cited article about the tremendous damage to which drug smuggling from Venezuela has done to our country. Those editors absolutely know about the devastation in Kensington, yet they are appalled, aghast, and outraged that President Trump is actually trying to do something to halt drug trafficking, just as they have waxed wroth about his efforts to reduce crime and stop illegal immigration and deport the illegals already here.

That President Trump sure is an evil genius! He’s managed to get the left to defend previously deported and returned again illegal immigrants accused of domestic violence, crime in our major cities, illegal immigration, and drug traffickers, all by the same people who told us that “No one is above the law” when the Democrats were trying to throw Mr Trump in jail.

These fine people were demonstrating in support of a government which forced them to flee their home country!

That Donald Trump sure is a malevolent, four-dimensional chess master evil genius. Who would ever have thought that he could get the American left out on the streets, protesting in favor of street crime, of criminal illegal immigrants, and drug dealers? But here we are. From The Philadelphia Inquirer:

‘Hands Off Venezuela’ protesters in Philly call for a stop to U.S. aggression amid attacks on alleged drug-smuggling boats

The U.S. has been conducting military strikes against boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean since September.

More than 60 people gathered on the north side of Philadelphia City Hall Saturday afternoon and then marched through city streets to protest what they called the U.S. war on Venezuela.

“Long live Venezuela, long live the Venezuelan people, enough Yankees, enough, Venezuela will live on,” the protesters chanted.

Well, of course they did!

In response to the newspaper’s advertising of the article on Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — George Tausell commented, “Philadelphia doesn’t want any disruption of drugs coming into their city.” The good people of the city, having just re-elected the George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, it seems to me that Mr Tausell’s comment is right on target. We previously reported on Mr Krasner’s displeasure with Mayor Cherelle Parker Mullins’ plans to try to clean up Kensington, the infamous Philly neighborhood that’s been destroyed with homeless junkies sleeping in the streets and SEPTA’s Allegheny Station.

The “Hands off Venezuela” demonstration comes two days after Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth put a name to the military strikes against suspected drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean that the U.S. has been conducting since September: Operation Southern Spear.

“This mission defends our Homeland, removes narco-terrorists from our Hemisphere, and secures our Homeland from the drugs that are killing our people,” Hegseth announced on X. “The Western Hemisphere is America’s neighborhood — and we will protect it.”

So, the protesters are appalled that the Trump Administration is trying to reduce the flow of narcotics into our country. Skipping down a couple of paragraphs:

Calling for a diplomatic solution and the respect of Venezuela’s right to self-determination, a coalition of local peace organizations marched in Center City Saturday afternoon to protest the Trump administration’s escalation of military aggression.

“CodePink Greater Philadelphia proudly adds our voice to the call to end the U.S. government’s attempt to meddle in the affairs of yet another sovereign nation, militarily or otherwise,” CodePink Philadelphia organizer Steve Malloy said in a statement.

What “self-determination” by Venezuela does Mr Malloy support? What “affairs of yet another sovereign nation” does he want left alone? The ‘right’ of Venezuelan gangs to ship illegal narcotics to the United States?

A few decades ago, Venezuela was the most prosperous country in South America. Then the ‘Bolivarian Socialist’ Hugo Chavez was elected President, and started destroying everything. Who knows? Perhaps Señor Chavez really believed that socialist bovine feces he spewed, but he, and later his successor — President Chavez died in 2013 following a years-long battle with cancer — Nicolas Maduro have transformed Venezuela from a prosperous, capitalist nation into a militarily-backed authoritarian dictatorship, wracked with poverty. The United States should stay out of Venezuelan affairs to the extent possible, but we do need to defend ourselves from drug shipments, and I have yet to figure out why anyone enjoying the fruits of American freedom and society would be defending the authoritarian dictatorship that Venezuela has become, unless it’s just a reflexive response generated by #TrumpDerangementSyndrome.

Even the Inquirer couldn’t ignore it:

Some of the protesters expressed support for the Venezuelan militia, the very forces that have prompted many Venezuelans to flee the country over the years, and were critical of U.S. capitalism.

These idiots fine people were supporting a regime that forced them to flee their own country! Can someone make sense of that?

Well, fine! ICE should arrest any of the demonstrators who are here illegally, and ship them right back to Venezuela, since they love it so much. Venezuela would doubtlessly refuse to take any of them back, so the US should simply put them on a boat, beach it, and just push them ashore.
