They are very shifty. Fund one organization not involved with Pro Palestine activities and put that one in the forefront. Then, fund another group closely linked to Hamas, but keep that on the down low.

Three Russia Hoax Bombshells Hidden In IG Report On DOJ Surveillance Of Congress
For context, when Trump won the 2016 presidential election, anonymous Democrat operatives in the federal government and Congress began leaking like sieves as part of a coordinated effort to paint Trump as a mastermind spy who had worked with Russian President Vladimir Putin for decades in order to steal the election.
Two Washington Post stories, a New York Times story, and a CNN story were all found to have included classified information. None of the four stories are specified in the report, but they all appeared in the first half of President Trump’s first year in office.
The first Washington Post story is likely the April 2017 story by Ellen Nakashima, Devlin Barrett, and Adam Entous revealing that DOJ had gotten a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on Carter Page, a Trump affiliate. The true story of that warrant would end up revealing the corruption of the DOJ, including how it falsified evidence in its application and relied on the laughable Steele dossier as the basis. But at the time of its publication, the FISA story suggested that an honorable DOJ had serious reason to suspect the Trump campaign of colluding with Russia to steal the election.
As outlandish and unhinged as the conspiracy theory was, it was fueled with daily drops of classified and deceptively packaged information designed to make it appear legitimate. The corporate media dutifully regurgitated, published, and aired the leaks as part of their campaign against the Republican president.
Nakashima, Barrett, and Entous were awarded a Pulitzer Prize for their perpetuation of the Russia collusion hoax in this and other stories. The leaks, which threatened national security and were intended to get Trump removed from office, threw the White House into chaos.
For years, polling has indicated that most Democrats continued to cling to the conspiracy theory as an explanation for Trump’s first presidential victory. The leakers have never been brought to justice.
Bombshell #1: A Democrat Whistleblower Identified Schiff, Swalwell As Leakers
Saw enough stories back in 2017,2018 that Schiff and Swalwell were the leakers, this is no surprise. Folks are acting like this is a big revelation..
Ruy Teixeira: Democrats Are in Denial
I've previously pointed out evidence that the Democrats' stance on gender ideology and immigration hurt the party at the polls. But of course the left has been in denial about all of this. Their solution after any loss is to move further left. And what Teixeira sees happening now is Democrats refusing to acknowledge they need to move back to the center.
They are doubling down on stupid, which is great news for Republicans. As Teixeira correctly points out, most people don't support mandatory DEI statements or the quasi-legal employment discrimination that comes with them. Most people don't support teaching the gender unicorn to 1st graders and they don't support putting biological men in women's prisons or letting them compete against women athletes. Most people don't support allowing schools to hide a child's social transition from parents. And most people don't support open borders or the gaming of the immigration system or spending billions of dollars housing migrants who will never be asked to leave the country no matter what an impotent immigration court ultimately decides about their legal right to be here.
Teixeira concludes that until they learn from their mistakes, Democrats are doomed to repeat them. As of now they don't seem to have learned much. And if past performance is any guide, they are likely to become more extreme and insistent about these fringe issues as Trump's 2nd term continues, not less so.
The Democrats Haven’t Learned
Democrats have engaged in many election post mortems, but they are either unable or unwilling to come go grips with the real reasons why they lost the 2024 election. One of many cases in point is this op-ed by Rahm Emanuel in The Washington Post. Emanuel’s theme is that the Democrats are too nice, and too joyful, for their own good. The Post’s subhed for the piece is “Campaigns of joy in an era of rage don’t win elections.” Which means that the Post can’t tell the difference between joy and gaslighting.
Emanuel writes:
Right: Donald Trump and Luigi Mangione, two peas in a pod. Memo to Rahm: Luigi is on your team, not ours. Just like every other assassin and would-be assassin of recent years.
Emanuel presents a weirdly off-kilter recitation of recent American history, beginning with the Iraq war, which was, per JD Vance–quoted for this limited purpose only–a “disaster.” He then skips to the banking crisis of 2008, which was an artifact of terrible government policy implemented by the Democratic Party, but which Emanuel blithely attributes to “unchecked greed” on the part of bankers who made the loans that the federal government pressured or required them to make.
Emanuel’s historical narrative ends before it gets to the Biden Administration, whose debacles led directly to President Trump’s victory (and Republican victories in the Senate and the House). Like nearly all losing politicians, he blames defeat not on bad policies, but on messaging, saying Democrats need “messengers and messages that meet the moment.” Only briefly and grudgingly does he acknowledge the substantive issues that led Democrats to defeat:
Larry the Cable Guy Rips ‘Grandma Purple Hair’ Rosa DeLauro After Dem's Nutty Rant About Elon Musk
I'm sure Ms. DeLauro, who represents the fine state of Connecticut, is just doing what any good Democrat foot soldier has been doing the past few days. They got the memo to try and taunt President-elect Trump by declaring Musk as the real leader, and they're going at it full bore.
She claimed GOP representatives "agreed on a bill," but "You know what? They got scared because President Musk told them, President Musk said don’t do it."
To recap, what you’re looking at above is a sitting congresswoman with purple hair ranting like some sort of coked-up violet-backed starling, suggesting her colleagues are too scared to pass a bill that there is a 0% chance she read.
Connecticut — specifically the 3rd District — this is the best you have to offer?
This is lunatic behavior. These are our best and brightest. Sheeesh. Why doesn’t Grandma purple hair and all the D’s and R’s draft stand alone bills. Hmm.. then they get pissed at Musk for providing a platform where taxpayers get to see the shenanigans in real time. I have a feeling punk rock retiree here is more upset they no longer have control of what Americans get to see. “ we gotta pass the bill to see what’s in it” Remember that. I don’t get how just bringing single bills is controversial.
Proof They Don't Get Us
If only they could find the right "bro" as an alternative to Joe Rogan, they could seduce young men back into the Democratic Party fold.
It's all about the messaging and the messenger. Line up all the right celebrities, throw a couple of million at Oprah, get Taylor Swift to make a half-hearted endorsement in between shots at NFL games, and the election would be in the bag. Only in 2024, they didn't have a good alternative to Joe Rogan--Call Her Daddy just didn't cut it with the men for some reason.
Dylan Mulvaney liked it, though. But the Democrats forgot to recruit enough bros. Harry Sisson wasn't enough, surprisingly.
Democrats' new savior, we are told, is an androgynous "bro" who looks less masculine than Ellen Page, and who styles himself the liberal Ben Shapiro.
If you think about it, the focus on cultivating a messenger instead of an appealing message is peak Democrat. They have infinite faith in promoting authority, experts, and celebrities, and once they establish a network of messengers, they believe they can sell any message they choose. That is why, if you follow the messaging from Democrats, it changes on a dime, has no logical consistency, but is spoken with great authority out of the mouths of experts and influencers who have been cultivated over time.
Apparently there is a vast swathe of the country who are lazy enough to accept this model of politics and communication. Anthony Fauci can one day say that masks are useless, and the next mandate that everybody wears them, and about 30% of the country will fight to the death defending him as if he is a god. Hillary Clinton can spend years claiming that the 2016 election was stolen and every Democrat can repeat that, but in 2021 "election denial" is considered treason.
But for the voters Democrats are looking for--the swing voters--the sour taste of 2020-2024 has left them without an appetite for authority or celebrity, as the 2024 election demonstrated. Finding the right "bro" won't help.
