Democrat "autopsy": what the doctor saw!


Warning to RINOs, liberals, independents, et alii, it's contagious!

Ed. here. Walt has not yet returned from gardening leave. Our British readers will know what I mean.

VIDEO: Victor Davis Hanson: What the DNC "autopsy" should have said

A week ago the Democratic National Committee released the post-election "autopsy" on the disastrous (for them) 2024 presidential campaign. DNC Chair Ken Martin published the 192-page report after facing intense internal pressure to release the previously-shelved document.

Before you watch the video, if you're a sucker for punishment, you might read through the full report, here: "DNC releases 2024 autopsy, with chair apologizing for 'creating an even bigger distraction’", NBC News, 21/5/26. See if you can figure out, without Victor Davis Hanson's help, what's missing.

No? You don't want to wade through 192 pages of the veriest bullshit? Well then... Mr Hanson says what's missing is any mention of the "New" Democratic Party agenda. Why? Because the Jacobin wing of the party refuses to believe that agenda is the reason why the Dimocrats lost so decisively in 2024.

They believed that a war on fossil fuels, open-border policies that let in over 10 million illegal aliens, allowing men to compete in women's sports, and the nature of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan were all great policies worth recognition. Listen up.
.
 

"In conclusion," says Mr Hanson, "if the autopsy wanted to be accurate, it would have done this. We lost the 2024 campaign because we had a radical agenda that reflects the Jacobin neo-socialism of the new party. For us to get elected on a national basis, we have to hide that agenda."

VIDEO: Disaffected Michael Matt asks: Did you REALLY vote for this?

I am one of the many 1000s who are (to put it mildly) disappointed that President Trump has not yet succeeded in Making America Great Again. I think POPTUS made a hyuge (mildly, again) mistake in attacking Iran, after having promised to keep us from getting entangled in any more Mid-East wars, and putting the treasure spent on Iraq and Afghanistan to better use at home. And yet, here we are, wondering how in hell he's going to get America out of this hot mess. See "WINNING! "The war is over!" POTUS orders 5000 troops back to USA", WWW 2/5/26.

I know Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper, agrees with me [or vice versa. Ed.] Here's an excerpt from the latest edition of the Remnant Underground, in which Mr Matt asks: What's going on with Trump's America? Is this what we voted for?!


ICYMI, Mr Matt said it seems to him that there's not much to choose from between the Trump Republicans and "the other guys", that neither party seems prepared to do what is necessary to truly fix a broken America. He might agree with my argument in "Uniparty politics FAILS in UK... still working in Canada though", WWW 10/5/26, that we (the AABC countries) are headed in the wrong direction, no matter which half of the Uniparty is in power.

Because it's Monday, that's why

Babylon Bee's extended Gavin Newsom pandering joke + VIDEO

This morning we told you we were awaiting the first meme referencing Gavin Newsom's cringeworthy pandering to black Americans while speaking at the Rialto Center for the Arts as part of his book tour... not forgetting his early pitch for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028.

We expected we might have something to show you tomorrow, but the Internet is already awash in jokes, memes and satire. The best one we've seen so far was this, from the great folks at the Babylon Bee.

Democratic Wows Black Audience By Putting Some Hot Sauce In His Purple Drank

ATLANTA, GA — While speaking at the Rialto Center for the Arts as part of promotion for his new memoir, Young Man in a Hurry: A Memoir of Discovery, California Governor Gavin Newsom wowed a black audience by putting some hot sauce into his purple drank. 

"See? I'm exactly like you," Newsom said. "It doesn't get more delicious than some hot sauce in your purple drank, am I right? This isn't pandering. Back home, we call this drink a 'Newsom.'" 

The audience was surprised by the governor's choice of drink and unsure whether or not he was being genuine. Newsom quickly moved to allay their fears. 

"I am not just trying to score points here," he insisted. "We're alike in so many ways. Just like you, I've fathered children I've never met. I've never once changed the batteries in my smoke alarms, no matter how many times they chirp at me. I yell at the screen when I'm at the movies. And, like you, I also perpetrate a disproportionate amount of the crime in my home state. I have a lot in common with you, which is why I'm the perfect political candidate to represent you people."

At the end of his on-stage interview with Atlanta Mayor Andrew Dickens, Newsom then sat down to a plate of fried chicken as he interacted with the crowd directly during a Q&A segment. "Boy, I wish I had some watermelon, am I right, my brothers?" he said. 

At publishing time, Newsom was still polling at 90% among black voters.

We trust the folks at BB will forgive us for reposting the entire article. It was just too delicious to be excerpted. If you want to read more excellent satire (with a Christian point of view), click on this link to go to the Babylon Bee home page. If you decide to subscribe, tell `em Walt sent ya!

But wait (as Vince Offer used to say), there's more! In this episode of "Ed Henry The Big Take", Ed takes a big gulp of vitriol and gives us his take on Governor Newsom's pandering, how his potential replacements for governor are filled with TDS, and more.

As Mr Henry says, Mr Newsom is already back-pedaling as fast as he can, claiming today that he was talking only about his lifelong struggle with dyslexia. We expect expressions of outrage from the lickspittle meeja tomorrow. Hilarity will doubtless ensue.

VIDEO: America: always ready for war and golf (George Carlin)

It's been seven months and a day since President Trump signed an executive order changing the Defense Department's name to the Department of War as a "secondary title". Walt is not sure exactly what that means, but it does give some insight into the current administration's priorities... I guess.

The order — the 200th signed by POTUS since taking office — authorizes Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and DOD subordinate officials to use secondary titles like "Department of War," "Secretary of War" and "Deputy Secretary of War" in public communications, official correspondence, ceremonial contexts and non-statutory documents within the executive branch. 

Additionally, the order directs all executive agencies and departments to "recognize and accommodate these secondary titles in internal and external communications," as well as instructing Secretary Hegseth to recommend actions — including executive and legislative actions — that would be required to permanently rename the department. 

"The name 'Department of War' conveys a stronger message of readiness and resolve compared to 'Department of Defense,' which emphasizes only defensive capabilities," says the fact sheet issued by the White House last September 5th. "Restoring the name 'Department of War' will sharpen the focus of this department on our national interests and signal to adversaries America's readiness to wage war to secure its interests."

The usual suspects were quick to blame President Trump for suddenly making America warlike, as if this were not a pre-existing condition. That's George Carlin's point in the first minute or so of this video.


Well yeah, most of the video wasn't about America's unslakeable thirst for war. Most of it (as you'll find out by watching it if you haven't already done so) is about the crisis of homelessness, something else that the left blames on POTUS but which was growing exponentially as early as 1992, when this video was made.

I was struck, listening to this, by Mr Carlin's prescience. One of his recommendations was to change the name of the condition, because of the stigma attached to the word "homeless". The people sleeping in our streets (he says) are not "homeless". They don't have is not homes but houses

So the first thing to do (he says) is change the descriptor. And lo and behold, 33 years later, there are no homeless people. Listen to the lickspittle media. Those people defecating and otherwise befouling your neighbourhood parkette aren't "homeless". They are "unhoused"! Something should be done! Definitely!

VIDEO: Sen. John Kennedy reveals government "spending porn"

If you think President Trump is wrong to insist that federal spending be reduced by a mere 1/10th of 1 percent, check out this video, in which Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) gives some examples of how your tax dollars are being misspent!

Mamdani takes off the mask

Walt's pithy comment on yesterday's elections

To borrow a phrase from Pulp Fiction, before the Dimocrats start sucking each other's dicks (or whatever their wimmin have down there), they should take into account the following:

The polls in the Rotten Apple had the "Democratic Socialist" (as in "People's Democratic Socialist Republic") so far ahead that any other result was beyond wishful thinking. As Walt predicted yesterday, real estate agents in Westchester, New Rochelle, and western CT are starting minor conflagrations in their shirt cuffs, rubbing their hands together in glee at the anticipated influx of Jewish buyers.

One of the Jews who is likely packing his bags is Robert Tucker, NYC's Fire Department Commissioner, who, according to the New York Post, handed in his letter of resignation hours after Comrade Mamdani's election.

I checked the map and see that New Jersey and Virginia are both still located on the Eastern Seaboard, a region so blue that Republican candidates rarely stand more than a Chinaman's chance. [That's an old British trope -- nothing racist about it. Ed.] 

Northern Virginia is inhabited almost exclusively by Washington DC snivel servants who are smart enoujgh (just barely) to not vote for a candidate who promises to reduce government bloat by firing their sorry asses. "You're fired!" are fightin' words there. And southern Virginia is still southern. Did anybody really think "those people" were going to vote for a black woman who tried to play the race card and the anti-woke card at the same time?  

And then there's California, whose people... the ones who haven't fled to Colorado or Idaho... seem to have some sort of collective death wish. Nuff said.

VIDEO: The Canadian ad featuring President Reagan that President Trump doesn't want Americans to believe

Dear American readers, How do you feel about all the tariffs which President Trump has slapped on America's trade partners, particularly Canada? Are they making America stronger? More prosperous? Great again? Is the price which you personally are paying for protectionism worth it? 

President Trump is in a snit because the government of Ontario put together a TV spot, using clips from a speech televised in 1987, in which the last conservative president to occupy the White House says that tariffs are not helpful but hurtful to the American people. Check this out.


Yesterday, while en route to gabfests with assorted Asian leaders in Malaysia and South Korea, POTUS said that, because of the ad, which he called "fake", he's ending all talks with Canada over the ad. But wait (as Vince Offer used to say), there's more. "Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act," he told the meeja on Air Force One, "I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now."

What did you see in the ad that could have triggered the Donald's ire? To me, it sounds as if President Reagan is in favour of free trade, and against tariffs, which he called "an outdated notion." Did I not hear correctly?

What's the point of getting even tougher on America's biggest trading partner? With Canada already under a US base tariff rate of 35%, the impact of President Trump’s latest gut-punch isn't immediately clear. 

The 35% rate doesn't apply to most Canadian goods because of an exemption for products and shipments made within the rules of the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Steel and aluminum products aren't covered by that waiver, and Canadian-made cars and trucks are only partially eligible for exemption from the 25% tariffs on most foreign autos. 

Marx Carnage, the prime minister of Canuckistan, has been engaged in protracted talks with the US of A to lower the levies and has already lowered his elbow to knee-level. [I assume Canuck readers will get that one. Ed.] After speaking to Mr Carnage, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said the province will pause its ad campaign tomorrow, now that the ads have been seen by millions of Americans, including President Trump, when they interrupted the World Series.

But the damage has been done. The clash has reignited uncertainty between two partners that exchanged $900 billion in goods and services last year and have closely interwoven supply chains for major industries. IMHO, the ongoing trade war benefits no-one, no-one. Let the man who authored The Art of the Deal get on with some sesrious deal-making.

VIDEO: Victor Davis Hanson talks with Walt's favorite senator

Why would you be surprised? Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) is the most insightful, acerbic and entertaining members of the chamber of sober second thought. 

A lot of people, when they first hear him speak, think, oh, there's another cracker, a relic from the ante-bellum South. In fact he has earned two degrees in law (the second one from Oxford, no less!) and clearly knows his stuff when it comes to how laws are made, how courts work, and the consequences of not following the law. 

In this video, our old friend Victor Davis Hanson interviews Senator Kennedy about his new book How to Test Negative for Stupid: And Why Washington Never Will. They discuss early Biden cognitive trouble, scared and tone-deaf Democrats, federal and state juridication and more. Worth listening to!

"Trump is not my President!" -- a rational analysis


Even if you're one of the 1000s of non-citizen illegal aliens who were ineligible to vote in the 2024 election, but voted anyway, Donald J. Trump is still your President!

VIDEO: Victor Davis Hanson on hot topics of the day

Yes, again. Regular readers of WWW know Walt has a handful of favourite vloggers, but we do try not to repost too many videos by the same commentator all at once. But today's episode of the Victor Davis Hanson Show is a must-watch!

Mr Hanson and host Jack Fowler discuss the raid on John Bolton's house, the Cracker Barrel logo change, male cheerleaders in the NFL, the hot water James Comey finds himself in, and -- the best part IMHO -- how the Dimocrats got where they are. Blame it on all those Karens!

And there's a bonus! At about 1 hour 04 Mr Hanson goes off on the way certain truck drivers -- graduates of the infamous Singh School of Truck Driving -- make America's roads unsafe. 


Key takeaway: "California is a dangerous place to live!"

Coming soon to your city? The Hock Ptui victory tour!

In what country does the loser of an election get to do a victory lap? Why, in the Excited States of America, of course. Better believe it folks. Yesterday on "X", Kamela Harris (aka Worst. Candidate. Ever.) announced that she was going to visit herself on 106 US cities (and one in the 51st state) to promote her new book, 107 Days

In the announcement, the fragrant Ms Harris (aka Hock Ptui) said,
"107 Days is my candid and personal account of the shortest presidential campaign in modern history. Over the next few months, I will travel our country to share behind-the-scenes moments, lessons learned, and how we keep moving forward together. I'll see you out there."


This is a case of doubling down on a history of failure. Readers may recall that the previous Dimocratic female candidate did a similar tour, which bombed at the box office. Ms Harris' announcement has received the social media scorn which it richly deserves.

One person comment called it "a book full of word salad. A must read, I’m sure." Another said, "You spent over one billion dollars in 107 days and you still lost." Another said simply, "It's over. Get over it."

It's not just simple "confusion"


It's not that they're confused. It's just that they've adopted (and expect all of so adopt) "Newspeak".

For those readers unfamiliar with the term, George Orwell coined that word for his dystopian novel 1984.  "Newspeak" is the fictional language of Oceania, a totalitarian superstate. To meet the ideological requirements of Ingsoc (English Socialism) in Oceania, the Party created Newspeak, which is a controlled language of simplified grammar and limited vocabulary designed to limit a person's ability for critical thinking. 

Newspeak thus limits the person's ability to articulate and communicate abstract concepts, such as personal identity, self-expression, and free will, which are "thoughtcrimes" (a Newspeak word), acts of personal independence that contradict the ideological orthodoxy of the Party. 

Mr Orwell wrote 1984 in 1943. By the real1984, Newspeak was well established as the language of liberal "democracy". The use of the phrase "mostly peaceful demonstrations" by the liberal commentariat to characterize race (and other) riots is a classic example of how the lickspittle media substitute their "truth" for reality to make the masses believe that "black" is "white", and truly white.
