Of Elephants & Donkeys

Dems don’t give a damn about children. They just want to score points on the political football field. And that’s my problem with the Epstein saga. People are using innocent children to score points against a political opponent they don’t like. What happened to sacred honor? What happened to fighting battles mano-a-mano? Man to man. Leave the children out of it.

While we reflect on Jesse Jackson’s life and influence, we should remember that his mantra was incomplete. “Keep Hope Alive,” he would say. Hope in what? Hope in policy? Hope in influence? Hope in power? Hope in money? That kind of hope burns hot...like Hell.

The world really is a stage now, and everyone is method acting. The audience is global. The spotlight is always on because the stage is digital. Call it whatever you want—social media, the Metaverse, the Matrix. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that millions of Americans are no longer living their lives. They’re performing their lives.

The law is in favor of the Trump Administration: ICE has the right to be in Minneapolis, the officer had the right to shoot Renee Good after being struck with her vehicle, while activists and agitators do not have the right to impede law enforcement. But for the general public, none of that matters. It’s all about how things look and how they feel. It’s a shame, but it is the political reality in 2026.

If the GOP wants to stay effective after Trump, it needs to remember an inconvenient truth about revolutions, reforms, and lasting political coalitions. These movements are rarely led by the poorest. They are led by the bourgeois.

Nicki Minaj has officially had her invitation to "the cookout" revoked. She has to join the rest of the "coons" in Massa's House. And all for expressing a little gratitude.

Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better. Because that's how politics and life work—it swings like a pendulum. From one extreme to the other. Sometimes it swings right, sometimes it swings left. When people have tolerated failure for long enough, they long for something different.

The troubling part of this ordeal is that these people are not against kings. They just want their king in charge. That's why the protests are just political theater. The real genesis of the outrage is spiritual.

Both Malcolm X (NOI version) and Nick Fuentes, in this imagined scenario, are racial dope dealers. They offer the cheap high of collective grievance based on surface-level attributes.

The sad state of affairs is that our culture doesn't give a damn about children. We treat our children like political props to pass legislation, like meal tickets to get more welfare money from the government, like a "clump of cells," or racehorses hoping they make it big.

If France wants the statue back, and they're willing to pay to take it back, they can have it. I won't lose a minute of sleep if the Statue of Liberty no longer overlooks the New York Harbor. But giving Lady Liberty back to France should be Option B.

Then what is Option A?

The primary focus should be on maintaining the integrity of American ethics rather than simply accommodating an ally. If Florida's investigation determines that Andrew and Tristan were involved in any wrongdoing, it is in our best interest that they be held accountable.

Bill Burr is correct about one thing—we should stop using outdated terms like liberal and conservative to divide us. But let's be honest here. Division is inevitable. The question should be, what's dividing us?

Illinois is no stranger to political drama. The latest soap opera features the ongoing rift between Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who is eyeing a run for The White House. But just like the streets on Wacker Drive, Pritzker's road to becoming the Democrat nominee in 2028 is filled with potholes that Johnson won't fix.

What many Dolton residents now turned Tiffany Henyard critics don't realize is she is a Frankenstein of the liberal political machine they enabled for decades.

As Donald Trump reenters The White House for his second term, many factions will fall from power and influence. One of them will be the manosphere. The return of Donald Trump means the rise of tradcons and the inevitable fall of the manosphere.

Donald Trump and the MAGA movement are a threat to upend the corporate bureaucratic status quo in America. The corrupted powers that be tried to smear Trump's name and reputation, drain his wealth via frivolous lawsuits, put him in jail, and put a bullet in his head. They might leverage diversity to tear MAGA apart from the inside out.

It's a pattern as old as time. Progressives figure out what they hate and try to tear it down, marching forward aimlessly in the name of "progress," trampling traditional norms. It is the opposite of conservatism. Conservatives know how to build beautiful things that can weather the test of time. We figure out what we love and conserve its beauty and prestige. That is my concern with Turning Point USA's AmericaFest and the overall future of the MAGA movement.

Thirty years ago, we had a better understanding of what justice is. Justice requires retribution. Criminals must pay for their actions. Murderers must pay for the blood they spill.

The longer conservative commentators remain silent on Israel's Law of Return loophole, the more credibility they will lose, the more scrutiny Jews will face, and the louder the anti-Israel sentiments will become.

Chicago has become the poster child of the Democrat platform. Every major Democrat party stance and policy is being implemented in Chicago. Look at the results.

In today's entertainment-obsessed culture, Taylor Swift has better security than Trump because she is more important—more important than the sick, the elderly, policymakers, schoolchildren, and children in the womb. Far more important than the American working class.

Nevertheless, it got me thinking: where did the black person/monkey/ape stereotype come from? I've seen and heard plenty of white people get called "mayo monkeys". George W. Bush was portrayed as a monkey by the media, including in the animated series Family Guy. So why does the stereotype stick to black people?

Victoria Spartz (R-IN) appears to have a functioning backbone. I admit I had never heard of Spartz until a few days ago. Now, her name is everywhere. She is making the rounds on the conservative media circuit. After conducting my research on Spartz, three things jump off the page.

I worry about the growing idolization of Candace Owens. It might drive her to seek revenge rather than revelation.

Transgender Day of Visibility should be a lesson for all Christians or anyone who opposes the left's anti-religious nonsense that apathy is the enemy of God. The politics are always on.

Popular culture and society at large encourage us to deny the reality of getting older. And there is a long list of music executives, corporations, politicians, and scientists to capitalize from a childish liberal culture.

The Daily Wire separating from Candace Owens is a microcosm of the old liberal regime's repudiation of the conservative populist movement. The pristine narrative of "classical" liberalism has been fractured, much like the Republican narrative was destroyed in the 19th century.

For all the things Liberalism gets wrong and how often liberals are wrong about a variety of issues, sometimes they get it right. Contrary to popular conservative memes, all liberal women are not overweight, purple-haired, nose-ring-wearing, screaming lunatic libtards.

Pritzker knows he's lying. His supporters in the media know he's lying. Most Illinoisans know he's lying. But as I mentioned earlier, spotting the lie is only half of the battle. Why is he lying? How does he benefit from the lie?
