Trump goes No. 1 in US Politician Draft, vows 4 titles



With the NFL Draft set for Thursday, it’s the perfect time to ask: What if we drafted politicians instead of players? Let’s go!

Welcome to the 2025 U.S. Politician Draft, where Republicans and Democrats roll into the arena hoping to rebuild for seasons to come.

Some are calling this the most lopsided deal since the Colts traded John Elway for a bag of footballs and a guy named Bob.

A big thank you to tonight’s sponsors: Tunnels to Towers, Balance of Nature, and My Pillow — three great companies that, unlike Congress, deliver results.

The Republicans are on the clock

With the first overall pick, the GOP selects Donald J. Trump.

After a few seasons off the field — and away from Twitter — Trump returns to the draft in miraculous shape. His personal physician called him “the healthiest player in the history of modern sport.” No drug test necessary.

Trump remains the only player in the league who audibles before the snap, calls a completely different play mid-huddle, and still somehow scores — while the defense tears itself apart yelling at each other on MSNBC.

Financial upside? Huge. If the team goes bankrupt, Trump just buys it. He’s also promised to play for free, though some say the locker room minibar may take a hit.

Critics say he’s not coachable. Trump disagrees: “I know the playbook better than the coaches. Frankly, I wrote the playbook. I am the playbook.”

He guarantees four straight championships — plus a fifth if the league lets him contest the fourth.

Democrats are up next

With pick number two, they select Gavin Newsom.

He looks the part. Photogenic, polished, and press-conference-ready — even when his team loses by 40, he convinces fans that the scoreboard was hacked.

Newsom’s draft stock rose after he pledged to donate his signing bonus so fans could get free concessions and merch. But analysts warn he’s a high-risk pick. Late-game drives? He panics. Crisis management? He disappears. His turf demands? “I’ll only play on artificial grass — I don’t like getting dirty.”

Originally drafted as a quarterback, Newsom has struggled. Scouts note he throws everything to the far left — often out of bounds. If he can’t adjust, the team will switch him to punter, where he already excels at kicking responsibility downfield.

The mid-draft sentimental pick

With pick 199, the GOP selects JD Vance, hoping for a Tom Brady-style miracle.

Vance enters the league late. He didn’t even start playing until recently. But he brings grit, a lunch pail, and a dramatic pivot to the Trump playbook that showed elite flexibility. He once tackled Trump in print — now he blocks for him in prime time. And he didn’t even pull a hamstring during the flip.

Republicans say he’ll back up Trump for four years, unless he gets traded to Fox News first.

Now for the blockbuster trade

In a shocking move, the GOP trades aging locker-room distractions Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney to the Democrats in exchange for Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard. Some are calling it the most lopsided deal since the Colts traded John Elway for a bag of footballs and a guy named Bob.

As a bonus, the Democrats throw in RFK Jr.’s free-agent rights, though insiders suspect that was more of a liability dump.

The final pick: Mr. Irrelevant

With the last selection, the Democrats take Tim Walz — a high school assistant football coach turned political long shot. Walz hyped himself as the toughest guy in the draft, but fell hard after investigators revealed he exaggerated his college stats and padded his practice reps.

He claims he's ready to lead, but even his huddle thinks he’s more clipboard than quarterback.

One name, however, never gets called.

Pete Buttigieg, who expected his middle-school junior varsity experience to carry him through the draft, watched the board in disbelief. His old coach didn’t help, saying, “Pete took off half the season — and no one noticed.”

As it turns out, “transportation” isn’t a position.

Harvard Law Publishes Fond Reminiscence From Student Facing Criminal Charges for Assaulting Jewish Classmate

Harvard Law School published a blog post from one of the students facing criminal charges for assaulting an Israeli classmate. The post, from former Harvard Law Review editor Ibrahim Bharmal, features Bharmal’s praise for something called the "Crimmigration Clinic," a law school course in which students work on federal immigration cases. He does not mention that he is facing criminal charges connected to the assault, which was captured on video.

Trump’s Border Success Proves Republicans Never Had To Negotiate Our Sovereignty

One year ago, a handful of so-called Republicans, led by Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford, backed a border bill that would have sold out American sovereignty. But as it would turn out, Lankford and his accomplices never needed to compromise our borders to secure them — as evidenced by the plummeting illegal crossings seen during President […]

Like a dog to vomit, weak Republicans sabotage their own party



We are not a nation of laws, and we never have been. We are a nation of political will, and we always will be. Take Florida for example.

What is happening in the Sunshine State is a reminder that the Bible is always correct. The dog returns to its own vomit. Which is another way of saying no one rises above his own worldview. No one. If you’re a junkie, you’ll continue to be one until your worldview has changed. If you’re an abuser, you’ll continue to be one until your worldview has changed. If you’re a simp, you’ll continue to be one until your worldview has changed. If you’re a resident of Covidstan, you will continue to hate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. until your worldview has changed.

The opposition to RFK Jr., Trump, or DeSantis isn’t really about principles — it’s about the fragile male egos of the 'nicer than God' Christian-GOP establishment.

If there were ever a place where people instinctively did the right thing because it benefited them — without necessarily believing in the underlying principles — it would be Ron DeSantis’ Florida.

He rejected every GOP consultant’s playbook to transform Florida from a place that narrowly gave him a victory over a guy who once snorted cocaine off a gay hooker’s behind to a place that awarded him a decisive 20-point landslide four years later. And incidentally, his victory contributed to the near-total collapse of the Florida Democratic Party. So obviously, a lot of GOP consultants should never work again, right?

Nope! Oh, look! Vomit!

The Florida Republican legislature is eating it up in the name of protecting illegal immigration in Florida by trying to give the state agriculture commissioner more power to police the matter than the governor possesses, thus trying to turn DeSantis into a lame duck as we speak.

Take notes, my friends, because I promise you this: If the GOP loses the 2026 midterms by pulling its punches and channeling the spirit of Mitt Romney, the same type of Republicans in Washington will try to undermine Donald Trump’s presidency. They resent that both Trump and DeSantis forced them to take actions they had long avoided.

If they can’t accept victory in Florida, seize the momentum, and ride the wave to success elsewhere, they won’t do it anywhere. There is no real conservative movement — only men wielding power.

Which brings us back to RFK Jr. and the opposition to his nomination as secretary of health and human services, led by evangelical figures like Mike Pence.

The GOP’s problems stem largely from the same issues that plague the church. In this case, Republicans with weak pro-life records use RFK Jr.’s stance on baby-killing as a smokescreen to excuse their broader failures. Take Francis Collins, for example — a so-called pious Christian who rubber-stamped Anthony Fauci’s disastrous policies that upended American life and pushed the poisonous jab. Collins has never expressed a shred of remorse.

Meanwhile, within two weeks of retaking office, Trump reinstated 8,000 service members to full rank and back pay after they were purged from the military, cracked down on transgender ideology in hospitals and women’s sports, and ramped up deportations of rapists and drug traffickers who prey on children.

That looks pretty pro-life to me, far more pro-life than anything Mike Pence has done. The opposition to RFK Jr., Trump, or DeSantis isn’t really about principles — it’s about the fragile male egos of the “nicer than God” Christian-GOP establishment, whose only true conviction is maintaining a grifty hold on power.

I’m absolutely done with that vomit. And you should be, too. Be honest with yourself and realize that there is more pro-life action being taken by the Trump administration than in all other GOP administrations combined. Take “yes” for an answer and let RFK Jr. go to work in the battle of wills before us.

ROOKE: Senate GOP Absent While Dems Force Through Another Biden Win

'It's not that hard to vote no against incompetence and tyranny'

Flashback: CNN operatives help certain Democrats in debates



At 9 p.m. ET on Thursday, CNN will host the first interparty presidential debate of the 2024 election, a debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, who have not yet even been officially certified as their respective partyies' nominees.

Their debates in 2020 were contentious, and Thursday promises to be no different. The network hosting the debate, CNN, will likely play a significant role as well, and if past presidential debates hosted by CNN are any indication, the network will likely run interference for Biden.

Here are three notable moments in which CNN operatives apparently assisted certain Democrat candidates:

Candy Crowley saves Obama from himself

On October 16, 2012, then-President Barack Obama joined current Republican Utah Sen. Mitt Romney for their second of three debates before the 2012 presidential election. CNN hosted the debate, and then-anchor Candy Crowley served as moderator.

A month prior to the debate, on the 11th anniversary of the September 11 attacks of 2001, Islamic terrorists stormed an American diplomatic compound and a nearby annex in Benghazi, Libya, and murdered four Americans: Ambassador Christopher Stevens, U.S. Foreign Service officer Sean Smith, and two CIA contractors, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.

Obama even then cheered on his teammate: 'Can you say that a little louder, Candy?'

In the days and weeks following, Obama, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, and others blamed the attack on a YouTube video, created by an American, that criticized Muslims. "Based on the best information we have to date," Rice said at the time on "Face the Nation," "... [the attack] began spontaneously in Benghazi as a reaction to what had transpired some hours earlier in Cairo, where ... there was a violent protest outside our embassy sparked by this hateful video."

But the video had nothing to do with what turned out to have been another coordinated terrorist attack on Americans on September 11.

During the 2012 presidential debate, Crowley asked Obama about these events, and Obama insisted that within 24 hours, he called them "an act of terror." Romney then jumped in and asked Obama whether he had understood him correctly: "You said in the Rose Garden the day after the attack, it was an act of terror, it was not a spontaneous demonstration, is that what you’re saying?"

"I want to make sure we get that for the record," Romney continued, "because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror."

Crowley then stepped out of her role as moderator and openly sided with Obama, claiming that Obama "did, in fact," call the Benghazi attacks an act of terror. Obama even then cheered on his teammate: "Can you say that a little louder, Candy?"

A few weeks later, Obama routed Romney and coasted to re-election, 332 electoral votes to Romney's 206.

Donna Brazile feeds Hillary Clinton debate questions

Donna Brazile, who has bounced back and forth between Democrat campaign work and newsroom punditry for decades, was a powerful figure in the 2016 political landscape. By that point, Brazile had been making regular appearances on CNN as a Democrat strategist for years.

She had also spent years in DNC leadership roles. So when DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz abruptly resigned her DNC position in July 2016 following the explosive news from Julian Assange's WikiLeaks that the DNC had rigged the Democrat primary for Hillary Clinton against Sen. Bernie Sanders, Brazile immediately stepped in as interim DNC chair, even as she continued her contributor position at CNN.

'My job was to make all our Democratic candidates look good.'

However, the WikiLeaks scandal became much more personal for Brazile in October 2016 when leaked emails revealed that earlier that year, Brazile had shared with the Clinton campaign at least two questions Hillary Clinton would likely receive during an upcoming primary debate co-hosted by CNN.

One question related to fallout from the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. Another related to the death penalty:

Here's one that worries me about HRC.

DEATH PENALTY

19 states and the District of Columbia have banned the death penalty. 31 states, including Ohio, still have the death penalty. According to the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, since 1973, 156 people have been on death row and later set free. Since 1976, 1,414 people have been executed in the U.S. That’s 11% of Americans who were sentenced to die, but later exonerated and freed. Should Ohio and the 30 other states join the current list and abolish the death penalty?

That year, Brazile also apparently promised in an email to a Clinton surrogate that she would "send a few more" questions along as well.

Brazile vehemently denied feeding the Clinton campaign any CNN questions, even waxing indignant and claiming that she was a victim of Christian persecution during a particularly heated exchange with then-Fox News host Megyn Kelly, who pressed Brazile about the accusations. Despite her caterwauling, Brazile resigned from CNN just a few days later.

Donald Trump ultimately prevailed in the 2016 presidential election, and by March 2017, Brazile publicly admitted that she had, in fact, given Clinton's team the debate questions.

"In October, a subsequent release of emails revealed that among the many things I did in my role as a Democratic operative and D.N.C. Vice Chair prior to assuming the interim D.N.C. Chair position was to share potential town hall topics with the Clinton campaign," she wrote in an article published by Time.

"My job was to make all our Democratic candidates look good, and I worked closely with both campaigns to make that happen," she continued. "But sending those emails was a mistake I will forever regret."

Chris Wallace blocks Trump from asking Biden about son Hunter

Chris Wallace has spent the past two years of his storied journalistic career floundering about at CNN. He joined the network in early 2022 and was supposed to be the star host of CNN+, the network's streaming service that was launched and canceled within just a month.

But in fall 2020, Wallace was still with Fox News, the network that had been his home for more than 15 years. In late September that year, Wallace moderated a debate between then-President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden. Trump was bombastic, repeatedly attempting to put Biden on the defensive about his son Hunter's involvement with Burisma and Ukraine.

'Mr. Vice President, you get the final word.'

Biden repeatedly stammered that his son had done nothing wrong and all the accusations against him had been "discredited," assertions that have since been proven false. The federal government even introduced Hunter Biden's infamous "laptop from hell" into evidence against him in his recent trial, noting that it had been authenticated as previously belonging to Hunter Biden.

Yet back in 2020, Joe Biden insisted that his son had been unfairly maligned, and Wallace seemed to help shield Biden from Trump's relentless attacks. "The mayor of Moscow's wife gave your son three and a half million dollars. What did he do to deserve it?" Trump asked Biden.

"It's not true. None of that is true," Biden stammered.

As Trump continued hammering Biden about the accusations about Hunter, Wallace repeatedly ordered Trump to back off. "Let him answer," Wallace interjected, though the cross-talk continued.

After another minute or so, Wallace told Biden: "Mr. Vice President, you get the final word." Biden then immediately replied, "Well, it's hard to get any word in with this clown."

Biden then pivoted, throwing out unspecified accusations about Trump's family members and attempting to talk about the American people, but Trump tried to steer the conversation back toward Hunter and Ukraine. At that point, Wallace ended the discussion.

When Trump asked rhetorically whether he could continue his line of questioning, Wallace raised his voice and replied, "The answer to the question is no." Wallace then demanded that the debate move on to another segment. Though he haphazardly requested that both participants stop interrupting one another, Wallace took particular aim at Trump. "I'm appealing to you, sir, to do that."

When Trump asked about Biden's behavior, Wallace retorted: "Well, frankly, you've been doing more interrupting."

Now, nearly four years later, Wallace views that debate as having sealed the election for Biden. "I actually think Donald Trump lost the presidency in that debate by his performance," Wallace said on an appearance on CNN's "The Source with Kaitlan Collins." "He dropped about four or five points. He never regained it."

Wallace also asserted that Trump "interrupted Joe Biden or me 145 times in 90 minutes," a statement that seems to situate himself with Biden and in opposition to Trump.

Wallace will not be hosting the debate on Thursday. Instead, the network has tapped for the role Wallace's colleague, Jake Tapper, who has repeatedly compared Trump to Adolf Hitler and characterized his presidency as a "nightmare."

Paul Ryan Reflects On Vice Presidential Debate With ‘Different’ Joe Biden

7 GOP senators join Democrats in confirming Biden judicial nominee



Seven Republican senators joined with Democrats and independents on Tuesday in voting to confirm President Joe Biden's nomination of Judge Tanya Monique Jones Bosier to serve as an associate judge on the Superior Court of D.C.

Lawmakers voted 57-41 in favor of confirmation, with all 41 of the opposing votes coming from Republicans.

'In DC it's business as usual.'

The seven GOP senators who voted to confirm included Susan Collins of Maine, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, James Lankford of Oklahoma, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, and Thom Tillis of North Carolina.

"The GOP nominee was convicted in a kangaroo court Thursday. Just 5 days later AT THEIR FIRST CHANCE Sens. @LindseyGrahamSC @SenatorRounds @SenatorLankford @SenThomTillis voted yes on ANOTHER Biden judicial nominee. They won't stop Democrat Lawfare. In DC it's business as usual," Blaze Media's Christopher Bedford tweeted.

"Democrats didn't need these Republicans to confirm their judge. They didn't need @lisamurkowski @MittRomney @SenatorCollins either. These senators are simply adding their seals of approval. Even a controlled opposition at least pretends to oppose. There are no excuses," he added.

Last week, a jury found former President Donald Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, guilty on all counts in a New York criminal trial.

Some GOP senators signed onto a pledge that declares, in part, that they will not vote to confirm any Biden administration political and judicial nominees.

"The White House has made a mockery of the rule of law and fundamentally altered our politics in un-American ways. As a Senate Republican conference, we are unwilling to aid and abet this White House in its project to tear this country apart. To that end, we will not 1) allow any increase to non-security related funding for this administration, or any appropriations bill which funds partisan lawfare; 2) vote to confirm this administration's political and judicial appointees; and 3) allow expedited consideration and passage of Democrat legislation or authorities that are not directly relevant to the safety of the American people," the pledge declares.
