You may have noticed that the Democrats have recently upped their game when it comes to hypocrisy. You could say that they’re here to drink kale smoothies and be hypocrites, and they’re all out of kale smoothies.
Let’s start in New York City, where the logic-challenged voting base of Manhattan masochists continues to rush headlong into the electoral nightmare of a Commie Mamdani administration. In addition to being a rabid Jew-hater, Mamdani is the kind of economic ignoramus who thinks that grocery stores – which have about the skinniest profit margins of any business – are “gouging” New Yorkers, and the solution is to have the city government run them.
Get ready for the grand opening of dozens of city-run outlets of the “Empty-Shelves-R-Us” franchise!
Like most high-profile, power-hungry socialists, Mamdani is a spoiled rich kid cosplaying as a working-class hero. Which is pretty tough to pull off when you’ve never had a real job in your life.
You probably heard about Zohran’s lavish wedding in a luxury compound in Ghana, where he was surrounded by extensive security, including devices to jam cell signals during the ceremony. I’m no expert on the Ghanian telecommunications system, but I’m pretty sure that Gha Bell (Ghana’s version of Ma Bell, duh!) consists mostly of hollowed-out coconut halves connected with strings.
So using high-tech cell-signal-jammers seems like over-kill, doesn’t it?
Though Zohran is totally lacking in real-world and governing experience, he’s already hit for a leftist hypocrisy hat trick:
1. After years of calling for defunding the police, he recently laid out $34K (of mommy and daddy’s money, I’m guessing) on AS&I. No, not “Arseholery, Smugness and Incompetence,” though that was a great guess, and a fine Democrat slogan for the ’26 mid-term elections. It’s “Advanced Security and Investigations,” a private security firm that will give him the kind of protection that New Yorkers will most definitely NOT be getting from the former NYPD cops who are now all down in Florida protecting Mar-A-Lago and CO’s equally lavish world HQ.
2. Despite his unearned wealth, Zohran lives in a rent-controlled apartment, an archetypal, chef’s-kiss-perfect betrayal of all the New Yorkers struggling to find affordable housing. Because if there’s one thing a trust-fund kid who’s about to decimate the NYC housing market needs, it’s a subsidy from the saps who vote for him.
3. When Zohran was applying to college, he had to identify his ethnicity on paperwork. His mom is Indian, and his dad is Indian. (Not F-Troop Indians like Grandma Squanto Warren – #mustweeverstopmockingher? #Ithinknot – but India Indian.) So the only sane and honest answer was “Indian.”
But the DEI religion looks down on Indians, because they are generally successful. And we can’t have that. So Zero/Zohran checked the box for “Black or African American.” Because he was born in an African country, and lived there for a few years as an infant.
You know, the same way that if you had been born in Australia, you’d check the box indicating that you identify as “koala or arboreal marsupial” on your Columbia application.
Boy, New York voters will have no excuse if they vote for this jerk in November. Because he is an open book.
And that book is a mash-up of “The Communist Manifesto” and “Mein Kampf.”
Speaking of the Albino Apache Liz Warren (#neverstop), she naturally endorsed Mamdani, giving him a tip of the headdress, from one phony to another. The NY Post had the perfect headline when Warren and Mamdani talked before the endorsement: “African American Meets Native American.”
Because I am basically a grown 8th grader, I also enjoyed when she was hanging around in the House chambers and leaned back on a desk, which then fell over, dumping her dishonest butt to the floor.
She tried to cover up the gaffe, but nobody believed her excuse that she was just putting her ear to the ground to see if she could detect any nearby buffalo herds that might be stampeding.
But my favorite example of Democrat hypocrisy lately has been their kabuki theatre outrage about the evils of gerrymandering.
A few weeks ago, Ron DeSantis (peace be upon him) won a three-year court battle when the state Supreme Court upheld his 2022 redistricting map that cemented the redness of this red state after years of GOP gains. Several other red states – Missouri and Indiana among them – are considering redistricting too, following in the footsteps of Texas, where Governor Gregg Abbott is pushing a new map that could give the GOP 5 more House seats.
In the past, the left made the term “gerrymandering” a feared accusation, at least among RINOs and other political invertebrates so spineless that they wouldn’t even take their own side in an argument. But one happy result of last November – among many – was that Trump’s victory gave many in the GOP a spine, and then instilled some steel in it. Hence Abbott’s plan.
Hilariously, the strategy of Texas elected Democrats was to take arms against a sea of troubles by…running away to Illinois, to deny a quorum that would allow the Texas legislature to pass their redrawn congressional map.
On the one hand, the decision by several dozen Texan Dems’ to flee to Illinois was a smart one. Because if the FBI came looking for them, they could all escape detection by hiding behind J.B. Pritzker (D-irigible).
On the other hand, it was incredibly stupid, since Illinois is arguably the most corruptly gerrymandered state in the union, and only highlighted their hypocrisy. In fact, many of the bluest states – IL, CA, NY, NJ, MA, etc. – have already been so heavily gerrymandered that even after Texas’ new map passes, it will STILL be less lopsided than the Dems’ current maps.
And that reality made national Dems even more of a laughingstock when they threatened to re-draw their own districts to cancel out Texas’ efforts. Because the briefest glance at their maps showed how much they’ve already used the tactic that they’re now pretending to be so offended by.
For example, Trump got 44% of the vote in Illinois, but the GOP only holds 18% of the House seats there. He got 40% in CA, where the GOP holds only 21% of House seats. And in MA, where Trump won 36% of the vote, the GOP holds zero House seats! Those numbers attest to how aggressively the Dems have worked to thwart democratically representative state maps, all the while stroking themselves over how they are righteous fighters to “save our democracy!”
And now the GOP is beginning to fight fire with fire. (And you know how much that terrifies Imhotep Pelosi, since her burial wrappings are so flammable that she’ll go up like a desiccated Roman candle. Or Egyptian candle, I guess.)
The irony and schadenfreude are delicious! The very fact that Republicans have played the game more “fairly” in the past is what gives them the chance to gain so many seats now. Ben Shapiro gave some raw numbers yesterday: there are 67 Democrat House representatives from red states, vs only 39 GOP reps from blue states. Those 39 GOP congressmen are likely the bare minimum number that can be produced given how many GOP voters there are in the country – what are MA Dems going to do, reduce their GOP members from zero to a negative number?! – while a decent amount of those 67 Democrat red-state congress-weasels can likely be gerrymandered right out of their seats.
Additionally, Trump’s idea of re-doing the 2020 census now is a great example of the way he’s been leaning forward, and winning battles that past GOP presidents have been too squeamish to fight. The Census Bureau has admitted that it under-counted many red state populations in the 2020 census, and the numbers show that red states would have at least 5 more electoral votes right now if that count had been accurate.
Knowing that, why should we have to wait 10 years – which would span 5 congressional and 2 presidential elections – to correct that error?
Yes, sure, the census is traditionally only done once per decade. But have I mentioned what hypocrites the Democrats are?
Because you know what else also used to be traditional? Just off the top of my head…
Requiring a filibuster-proof majority to approve federal judges…which Harry Reid and the Dems did away with in 2013.
And not jailing opposition party members when they defied a congressional subpoena…as the GOP declined to do when Eric “Steadman” Holder and Lois Lerner both defied legitimate subpoenas during Trump’s first term. The Dems returned the favor by jailing both Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro based on much less serious subpoenas just a few years later.
And not having their own partisan local judges launch a flurry of illegitimate rulings to thwart the opposition’s president.
And not using the legal system with some bogus lawfare attacks on your political opponent.
I could go on and on. But this taste of bile in my throat is quite unpleasant.
This just in: as I was writing this, I saw the headline that the Texas Dems have announced that they are returning to Texas. But they want us to know that their tails between their legs are not a sign that they lost. They are declaring victory, because “they accomplished their mission by raising national awareness about the mid-decade redistricting effort.”
Yes. You made fools of yourselves, thus raising awareness of how foolish you all are.
So what have we learned today? Only what we already knew: the Democrats have completed the FA portion of their national partisan gamesmanship, and they’ve now entered the FO phase.
The political landscape is littered with the Dems’ petards, and it’s time to start hoisting them.
Or, as Uncle Bob would say, “The barn is smoking and the tractor tires are on fire. Let’s go!”
Hamas delenda est!
