Pritzker Calls For Violence Against GOP: ‘Republicans Cannot Know A Moment Of Peace’

The language is all too familiar and can only be described as assassination prep -- carefully cloaked in moral outrage -- designed to incite the most egregious acts of political violence.

Leftist Gov. Pritzker says 'Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,' wants 'mass protests,' 'mobilization,' 'disruption'



Illinois Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker declared Sunday that "Republicans cannot know a moment of peace" and called for "mass protests," "mobilization," and "disruption" against the administration of President Donald Trump, the Hill reported.

During his keynote address at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner, Pritzker added that "they have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have. We must castigate them on the soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box."

'We will never join so many Republicans in the special place in hell reserved for quislings and cowards. We will relegate their portraits to the museum halls reserved for tyrants and traitors.'

Pritzker's words seemed eerily reminiscent of other prominent leftists during Trump's first term in office. Who can forget when far-left U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) encouraged her supporters during a June 2018 speech to harass members of Trump's administration?

"Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up, and if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere!" Waters hollered.

Indeed, harassment followed, and attacks on conservatives got physical too. Remember, also, that Hillary Clinton piled on, saying "you cannot be civil" with Republicans. Former Attorney General Eric Holder said, "When they go low, we kick them!" and far-left U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) urged activists in Washington, D.C., to "go to the Hill" and "get up in the face of some congresspeople."

More recently, Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said — in reference to the Trump agenda — his party is "going to fight it in the streets."

A WBBM-TV video report about Pritzker's speech said the New Hampshire 100 Club Dinner is "usually reserved for those about to run for president" and that Pritzker was "sounding like a 2028 presidential candidate."

The keynote speaker at the state's 100 Club Dinner last year was Minnesota Democrat Gov. Tim Walz, who ran with Kamala Harris on the 2024 Democrat presidential ticket, the Hill said.

Pritzker also criticized members of his own party, saying "do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on our defense of black people, of trans kids, of immigrants, instead of their own lack of guts and gumption," the outlet reported.

Although Pritzker conceded that while Democrats “may need to fix our messaging and strategy, our values are exactly where they should be," The Hill said.

The Illinois governor added, “We will never join so many Republicans in the special place in hell reserved for quislings and cowards. We will relegate their portraits to the museum halls reserved for tyrants and traitors," the Hill also said, according to multiple national outlets.

When even Lancaster County flips, no district is safe



On the evening of March 25, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, experienced what many described as a political “stunner.” In a heavily Republican district — the 36th — Democrats pulled off an unexpected upset in a special state Senate election.

Josh Parsons, the Republican chairman of the Lancaster County Commission, lost by 482 votes to James Malone, the Democratic mayor of East Petersburg. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a reliably partisan Democrat, quickly congratulated Malone and praised the victory as a blow to “the extremism coming from D.C.” There’s little doubt Malone will vote in lockstep with Shapiro’s agenda.

The reality on the ground often looks very different from the national mood captured in polling data.

This result didn’t happen in a swing district. Lancaster County gave Donald Trump a 15-point margin in 2020 and has consistently voted Republican since before the Civil War. Since moving here more than 30 years ago, I’ve watched every state senator and nearly every county official win as a Republican. The same goes for our congressional representation.

Parsons’ predecessor, state Sen. Ryan Aument, regularly defeated Democrats by more than 2 to 1. In last week’s election, Libertarian candidate Zachary Moore claimed 480 votes — most of which likely would have gone to Parsons. But even with those votes, it’s unclear whether Parsons would have pulled off a win. And even if he had, a narrow victory would still fall far short of the GOP’s long-standing dominance in this district.

Democrats won in Lancaster County by mobilizing their strongest voting blocs — including a near-monopoly on college-educated white women and virtually all black women. Their state party also benefited from a flood of money provided by the usual group of culturally radical plutocrats.

Only 29% of registered voters in Lancaster County turned out last Tuesday. But Democrats ensured their supporters showed up.

I’ll be blunt: I find the happy talk on Fox News tiresome — the claims that Democrats are in decline and doomed to lose every major race outside deep-blue states until the end of time. If I were a betting man, I’d back the Democrats in any race where the parties are supposedly even.

Republicans may face another uphill battle in the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court race on April 1. That contest features Susan Crawford, a very progressive district judge from Dane County, against Brad Schimel, a conservative Milwaukee-area judge.

Despite Republican hopes, Crawford’s left-wing record draws major financial support from donors like Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, George Soros, and the usual crowd from Wall Street and Hollywood. So far, Democrats have raised more than double what Schimel has. Crawford has also built an army of volunteer campaigners from her left-wing base.

Many prominent GOP figures remain overly confident about their party’s electoral chances, but they often misread the data. They place too much stock in the Democratic Party’s low national poll numbers, failing to grasp that these figures don’t necessarily predict outcomes in specific races.

Democrats consistently energize their base by championing progressive cultural positions and railing against phony “fascism” and fictitious “Nazis.” This rhetoric motivates activists, who eagerly contribute time and money to causes they view as morally urgent. While outlets like the Washington Examiner lament “the toxicity” of Democratic rhetoric, voters on the left often find this language empowering. Just because conservatives recoil at inflammatory attacks from lawmakers like Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) and Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) doesn’t mean their base does.

The Democratic Party may hold just 29% approval nationally, but it maintains powerful institutional support, including public-sector unions and deep-pocketed donors. When government bureaucrats or teachers’ unions believe Donald Trump, Elon Musk, or other fiscal conservatives threaten their funding, they spring into action to protect their interests. These permanent-state allies don’t need high approval ratings — they need motivation, and they have it.

Low polling numbers alone won’t stop Democrats from flipping deeply red districts if they outspend Republicans by large margins and mobilize zealous volunteers. The reality on the ground often looks very different from the national mood captured in polling data.

In my own reliably Republican district, the national unpopularity of Democrats didn’t stop a surprise upset. What should have been a GOP lock turned into a “stunner” — and a warning.

Maxine Waters questions Melania Trump's legal status in bizarre attack



California Rep. Maxine Waters (D) suggested Saturday during an anti-Trump administration rally in Los Angeles that first lady Melania Trump is in the country illegally.

It appears that the 86-year-old Democrat's failed attempt at a mic-drop moment was the product not only of decrepitude and hypocrisy but of a gross misapprehension of key facts.

On his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens. Trump noted in the order that "the privilege of United States citizenship does not automatically extend to persons born in the United States" if those individuals' parents were illegally in the country or not lawful permanent residents at the time of their birth.

Multiple federal judges blocked the order, and multiple appeals courts have refused to overturn those injunctions. The matter will soon be settled by the U.S. Supreme Court.

In the meantime, leftists, both foreign and domestic, have complained about the distinct possibility that illegal aliens' anchor babies won't always be conferred citizenship.

During a protest over the weekend, Waters broached the issue, reportedly stating, "When [Trump] talks about birthright, and he's going to undo the fact that the Constitution allows those who are born here, even if the parents are undocumented, they have a right to stay in America."

"If he wants to start looking so closely to find those who were born here and their parents were undocumented, maybe he ought to first look at Melania," added Waters. "We don't know whether or not her parents were documented. And maybe we better just take a look."

'The 14th Amendment doesn't say that all persons born in the US are citizens.'

Contrary to Waters' insinuation, Melania Trump was not born in the United States, and neither Mrs. Trump nor her parents entered the country illegally.

Melania Trump, born in the former Yugoslavia, informed the Associated Press via an attorney in 2016 that she legally came to the United States from Slovenia on Aug. 27, 1996, on a B1/B2 visitor visa. Mrs. Trump subsequently obtained an H-1B work visa then an EB-1 "Einstein Visa."

The future first lady, who appeared on the cover of British GQ in 2000, received a green card in March 2001 and became an American citizen in 2006.

Viktor and Amalija Knavs, the first lady's parents, similarly took the legal path to American citizenship. After living on green cards sponsored by Mrs. Trump, the first lady's Slovenian parents became citizens in 2018.

Waters asserted as a fact that the Constitution grants illegal aliens' children a right to remain in America. The nation's top court will decide if the congresswoman is wrong on this matter, as well.

Hans von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation and former Department of Justice lawyer, previously noted that the claim anyone born in the U.S. has citizenship automatically, even if their parents are here illegally, "ignores the text and legislative history of the 14th Amendment, which was ratified in 1868 to extend citizenship to freed slaves and their children."

"The 14th Amendment doesn't say that all persons born in the U.S. are citizens," continued von Spakovsky. "It says that '[a]ll persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof' are citizens. That second, critical, conditional phrase is conveniently ignored or misinterpreted by advocates of 'birthright' citizenship."

"Critics erroneously believe that anyone present in the United States has 'subjected' himself 'to the jurisdiction' of the United States, which would extend citizenship to the children of tourists, diplomats, and illegal aliens alike," added the legal fellow. "But that is not what that qualifying phrase means. Its original meaning refers to the political allegiance of an individual and the jurisdiction that a foreign government has over that individual."

Maxine Waters Urges Democrats To 'Hit the Streets' and 'Fight Back' Against Trump

Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) is calling on fellow Democrats to "hit the streets" to "influence the courts" in the party's fight against President Donald Trump.

The REAL reason Democrats are TERRIFIED of Elon Musk and DOGE



Democrats are furious that President Trump is trusting Elon Musk with so much, repeatedly calling him an “unelected billionaire” — but Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” believes their criticism is less about Elon and more about themselves.

And Trump is only proving Glenn’s point.

“He’s not gaining anything,” Trump said in an interview with Bret Baier on Fox News. “In fact, I wonder how he can devote the time to it. He’s so into it. But I told him ‘do that,’ then I’m going to tell him very soon, like maybe in 24 hours, to go check the Department of Education.”

“He’s going to find the same thing. Then I’m going to go to the military. Let’s check the military. We’re going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse. And you know, the people elected me on that,” he added.


“He’s absolutely right about this,” Glenn says. “First of all, ‘He’s an unelected bureaucrat.’ Well, almost all bureaucrats are. I don’t know if you follow that, but you know, the treasury secretary is also somebody who wasn’t voted in.”

Meanwhile, the Democrats are still raging about Elon exposing USAID — which isn’t even an aid program.

“We have aid agencies; that’s not one of them. This is soft power, and quite honestly, it has from the beginning been a CIA operation,” Glenn says. “I’m not against aid; I’m against corruption, and I’m also against a lot of this soft power being done that nobody knows about.”

“Why are we just finding out about this stuff, and what are we going to find in the Pentagon?” he asks, adding, “We are going to find really bad stuff in the Pentagon.”

Pat Gray agrees, noting that regarding USAID, the entire idea of a government agency helping the less fortunate was insane in the first place.

“It’s not government agencies that should be doing this; it is individuals who are tasked with charity and helping others. We’re the ones,” Gray says. “Once you’re forced into it, it’s not charity.”

But the Democrats don’t see it the same way, as some of them, like Rep. Maxine Waters, have begun protesting at places like the Department of Education — and verbally accosting the security personnel.

“It’s quite amazing how these people are so freaked out. They’ve got to cover their tracks. I’m convinced that’s what it is,” Glenn says.

Trump won, but Dems still control the bureaucracy — for now



Have the Democrats dug a hole for themselves? The answer is an unequivocal yes.

Although Donald Trump won the presidential race by about two million votes and the GOP retook the Senate by a majority of three, the Democrats were hardly crushed in the November election. Three of their outspoken feminist candidates won senatorial races in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada, partly by outspending very solid Republican opponents. Thanks to coastal elites, the Democrats enjoyed a sizable ad advantage over Republicans by Election Day last year; and a less-than-impressive Democratic presidential candidate spent her way through more than $1 billion that Democratic donors showered on her.

Today’s woke Democrats belong to a party that directly serves their interests. The question is whether that party can build a broad enough coalition to reclaim a national majority.

The legacy media, most educational institutions, and a majority of government bureaucrats stand solidly behind the Democratic Party. Trump’s decision to slim down the size of our managerial state has caused panic among Democrats, precisely because public administration has been an inexhaustible source of employment and financial benefit for their loyalists. But the Democrats continue to occupy almost all of this empire.

Unfortunately, Democratic politicians have not been able to accept the loss of the presidency with equanimity. They’ve gone berserk and for understandable reasons. They’ve waged war on the current president for the last eight years and have thrown so much ammunition at him that it must have dawned on them that Trump would not leave his enemies in charge if he won.

Democrats have used every tool at their disposal to undermine the current president. They have engaged in lawfare, weaponized the FBI and the Department of Justice against him, tried to remove his name from ballots, attempted to imprison him, and even incited would-be assassins. After such relentless attacks, expecting Trump not to retaliate in some way would require near-saintly restraint.

To their detriment, Democrats continue waging old battles in ways that have damaged their own standing. They have obstructed efforts to deport criminal illegal immigrants, defended sex-change surgeries for minors, fought to preserve costly government bureaucracies that align with their ideological interests, and tacitly encouraged anti-Trump riots. None of these actions have won them new supporters. At this point, their public approval has shrunk to 31%.

Democrats have also resorted to clumsy, staged demonstrations, with their most prominent figures decrying Elon Musk’s influence over the Republican administration. They claim Trump is acting “unconstitutionally” by laying off overwhelmingly Democratic government workers while supposedly taking orders from Musk. Yet, it remains unclear why Trump must seek approval from Chuck Schumer and Maxine Waters before following the advice of his own people. And why is it acceptable for Democratic presidents — but not Republican ones — to rely on unelected advisers?

Let’s try to make sense of what the Democrats are doing. In blue states, voters consistently elect leftist governments. Governors such as J.B. Pritzker in Illinois, Gavin Newsom in California, Kathy Hochul in New York, Phil Murphy in New Jersey, Maura Healey in Massachusetts, Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan, and Tim Walz in Minnesota win with little difficulty, often while relying on anti-Trump rhetoric.

The Democrats’ base also includes wealthy donors who align with the party’s radical core. Meanwhile, legacy media eagerly amplifies the party’s anti-Trump messaging, adding its own attacks. Since 2016, mainstream outlets have built an audience around cultivating anti-Trump sentiment.

But this strategy does not seem to resonate with most Americans. Many are increasingly alarmed by the millions of illegal aliens the Democrats have welcomed into the country, now widely seen as both a safety risk and a financial burden. Pritzker, Healey, and other left-wing governors have further weakened their party’s standing by openly supporting illegal immigrants who have committed violent crimes.

Democrats and their media allies have also doubled down on unpopular policies like DEI mandates, “gender-affirming” surgeries for minors, and the costly Green New Deal. These stances have driven down the party’s appeal nationally, and even in deep-blue regions, support for these policies appears to be waning — though not yet enough to break the Democrats’ grip on those areas.

Perhaps most importantly, Democrats have reshaped themselves over the past generation into a culturally leftist party. Their core constituency now consists of racial minorities, college-educated women, government employees, and nonprofit organizations. Calls for the party to return to its working-class roots are unlikely to succeed.

Across the Western world, non-public-sector workers have aligned with the populist right, while the cultural left has gained support from global financial elites, government bureaucrats, Third World migrants, and activists opposed to traditional gender roles and the nuclear family.

Today’s woke Democrats belong to a party that directly serves their interests. The real question is whether that party can build a broad enough coalition to reclaim a national majority.
