The only demographic that believes black people are too stupid or lazy to register to vote or obtain photo ID are white democrats, and most of them are female.
I grew up during Jim Crow. It’s amazing that since the 1960s, the Democratic Party still refuses to accept a simple fact about Black Americans: that, like every other race in this country, we are smart enough to register to vote. There is nothing more demeaning than this racist view of my race. THIS is why I left the Democratic Party 40 years ago and will never, ever go back.

This part of The Neverending Story is more devastating as a metaphor for 2025 then it ever was when I was a kid. Atreyu tries to tell his horse Artax how the swamps are. That the sadness isn't real. That he's letting it get to him. Atreyu begs Artax to get out of it, if not for himself then his friend — to no avail.
Time passes. Finally Atreyu looks up and Artax is gone. He gave in to the illusion. Atreyu did everything he could think of, he begged, he cried, he screamed, but in the end he couldn't save his friend because he refused to save himself.
This is one of the hardest lessons to learn in life. Ever.
Fox News is wall to wall with dead-eyed politicians telling you that Iran is a dangerous “sponsor of terror.” Softening up the base for a war. But what exactly does that phrase mean, and how does it apply to the United States? Here’s one measure: over the past twenty years, how many Americans have been killed by Iran on American soil? Try to find that number, and then compare it to the number of Americans killed by drug ODs. Or suicide. Or illegal aliens. Or carjackings, diabetes and the Covid vax. Still think Iran is the greatest threat? How about we focus on our own country for a minute.
Joe Rogan made it clear during his interview with Elon Musk: If you oppose DOGE, you fell for the propaganda
“That’s the problem that I see with all this DOGE stuff, right. Because everybody should be celebrating that we've found a way to cut out fraud and waste. If you pay taxes and you don't like that you have to pay so much in taxes, and then you find out that there's significant fraud and waste that's been exposed, you should be celebrating it. This shouldn't be, oh no, the wrong people found this, fact and now it's a bad thing.”
“There's the f*cking propaganda, the mind f*ck of calling it USAID.
Instead of the United States Agency for International Development. It sounds like it's feeding hungry people — and then you find out, actually it's like $250 million for transgender animal studies. Like
Literally mutilating animals. Mutilating animals in demented studies. That are like the, like the worst thing you could possibly imagine from a horror show.
The Beagle one. The Beagle puppy one. Horrific. Where they covered their head in a basket and put fleas on their heads. They'd eat them alive. And then they studied these beagles and then killed them. Like, what are you gonna learn from that? That's good for anybody?”
“DOGE is a threat to the bureaucracy. It's the first threat to the bureaucracy. Normally the bureaucracy eats revolutions for breakfast. This is the first time that they're not, that the revolution might actually succeed”
“We could restore power to the people instead of power to the bureaucracy”
