New Leaders Ruin Democrats

The Republicans have no fear of The Squad — the young, radical politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Presley who are taking control of the Democratic Party. But those Squad members represent the kiss of death for the Old Guard Democrats themselves.

Dick Durbin, the Democratic Senator from Illinois, has already announced his retirement. Chuck Schumer is barely holding onto his power, refusing to relinquish it.

Victor Davis Hanson lays out the prospects. It’s difficult to see a path for survival when you carve out a party designed to only appeal to 20 or 30 percent of the population. Here’s more from Diane Gonçalves.

Rats Fleeing The Sinking Ship

The rats are really beginning to scurry. One after the other, key Democrats are announcing they will not seek re-election in 2026. The latest casualty: Dick Durbin, the second ranking Democrat in the U.S. Senate. He just announced he’s calling it quits, after having served from the state of Illinois since 1996.

Now, the leftists are bringing out their daggers, taking aim at the party’s No. 1  political leader in the Senate: Chuck Schumer in New York. Things are definitely going sour for the party since they elected the “progressive” gun control activist David Hogg as vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

Durbin is the fourth Democrats preparing to leave the Senate, along with Jeanne Shaheen from New Hampshire, Tina Smith from Minnesota and Gary Peters from Michigan. Only one Republican Senator is retiring: Mitch McConnell, and that’s really a gain for the GOP. Here’s more from Steve Turley.

Kash Patel Riles The Lefties

Designated FBI Director Kash Patel endured a long and grueling confirmation hearing Thursday in the U.S. Senate. Patel reaffirmed that he will seek the full release of documents pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein and his rich pedophile friends. Horrified Democrats, like Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin,  fret he will expose so many of their colleagues — and donors — who patronized Epstein’s Caribbean getaway island. Here’s more from Benny Johnson.

For those of you who want the full picture, Robert Gouveia with Watching The Watchers devotes seven hours to covering the full Kash Patel hearing, as well as the Senate’s Tulsi Gabbard hearing for Director of National Intelligence and a second confirmation hearing for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Democrats will keep trying to prolong the agony, but fortunately, the GOP has a majority in the Senate, so we ought to win most if not all of these battles.

Leftists Miffed By Alito Flags

Chief Supreme Court Justice John Roberts and Justice Sam Alito joined forces to slap down Democratic attempts to interfere in the Judiciary, saying meeting with legislators would undermine hundreds of years of historical precedent. The Democrats were miffed over American flags flying at Alito’s residence!

You have to wonder: Which nation do these turkeys supposedly represent? Here’s more from Robert Gouveia on Watching The Watchers.

Dick Durbin Is A Dick!

Here’s how we’re protecting the guilty and destroying America! Topics discussed include Dick Durbin protecting the pedophiles on Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs and his proposal to place illegal aliens into the U.S. military. Here’s more from We Lie To You News from Awaken with JP.

Durbin: Pedophile Protector

We don’t watch Fox News anymore, not since they fired Tucker Carlson. But every once in a while, Fox News still apparently does something right. Usually it’s Greg Gutfeld that strikes an honest chord, but Jesse Watters also does on occasion.

Here, Watters sends a reporter to approach the U.S. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Illinois,  to ask him why he blocked Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, on her request asking the FBI to release the Jeffrey Epstein flight logs. The FBI should have released these logs years ago. After all, it’s supposed to be a law enforcement agency. Protecting a bunch of rich pedophiles isn’t exactly part of the agency’s mission.

So Durbin, you’re a douchebag. Your party doesn’t stand for justice or equality. You’re simply operating a pedophile-protection racket.

Balloon To Stay Afloat For Days

The U.S. Department of Defense reveals new details about the Chinese surveillance balloon. Brigadier General Patrick Ryder explains the Chinese craft will float over the United States for days and is maneuverable. CIA Director William J. Burns explains the future landscape. Joe Biden refuses to answer questions.

Republicans Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz join Democrat Senator Dick Durbin in demanding to know more about Ex-FBI Agent Charles McGonigal’s involvement with the Russians. We review letters from Congress to the FBI and the Department of Justice. More from Robert Gouveia in another edition of Watching The Watchers.

Late Friday, there were reports of some sort of explosion over Montana, possibly involving the spy balloon. Also, U.S. military confirmed the existence of a second spy balloon over Latin America.

Joe Biden didn’t comment, nor could he, seeing as how China owns his sorry ass! Here’s more from Fox News.

 

in times like this, there’s little to do, except recall Nena and her 99 Luftballons.

 

The White House Reshuffles

We learned over the weekend that Joe Biden had even more classified documents at his personal home in Wilmington Delaware. We review the official statements from Biden’s lawyers, the White House and Karine Jean-Pierre.

New reports reveal the President’s Chief-of-Staff Ron Klain is stepping down, to be replaced by Jeff Zients. Who is he and what was his position during the pandemic?

Is Karine Jean-Pierre the next to go? Fox News wonders how long she can last dancing around tough questions. Is Ian Sams, the President’s spokesperson, auditioning to replace him?

Democrats backpedal on the Biden Documents Scandal. We listen to Speaker Pelosi, Sens. Christopher Coons, Joe Manchin and Dick Durbin and their varying takes on their President. More from Robert Gouveia, Esquire, on Watching The Watchers.

Senate Dems Slinging Nonsense

There really weren’t any surprises during the first day of the Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barrett. As suspected, Democrats were, well, Democrats. Once the gavel dropped, the Democrat vitriol began to flow.

The gist of the attacks from these unrelenting Leftists was nothing new, says Newsmax anchor Greg Kelly. They called Judge Barrett a threat, Ruth Bader Ginsburg a saint and President Trump the devil. And, of course, all this rubbish came from the likely suspects–Kamala Harris, Mazie Hirono, Dick Durbin, Cory Booker–the very same Senators who torched Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation debacle.

It’s nothing more than an extension of the Left’s Presidential-year campaign, with their outlandish charges, fake polls, pre-planned civil unrest in major cities and overall doom and gloom. As Kelly put is so succinctly, “Who are they to judge?” Here’s more from Newsmax.

Philippines Bans Two Senators

Two Leftist US Senators have been banned from entering the Philippines. Forbidden to go to the Asian nation are Democrats Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Dick Durbin of Illinois.

The senators attached a provision to the massive new US budget bill that criticizes the jailing of Philippines Sen. Leila de Lima, a prominent opponent of Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte and his war against drugs.

What a couple of phonies! If Durbin and Leahy are such valiant civil rights spokesmen, why aren’t they attacking the powerful forces behind the Democrats who push child trafficking and engage in cannibalizing children for their adrenochrome? We’d start by hanging George Soros as high as possible from the nearest public square. The same applies to the venomous Hillary Clinton and her campaign manager John Podesta.  As long as these stalwarts represent the Democratic Party, its loudmouthed Liberals should all be shamed, and barred everywhere, not only the Philippines.
