The second trend is an obvious part of Democrats’ evolving anti-Trump strategy: to gin up a class war — the Marxists’ comfortable original neighborhood and their narrative castle of last retreat. Despite being cozier with many more billionaires than are conservatives, liberals are currently on an all-out campaign to make the “b-“ word bad again.For example, note how this BlueSky user calls billionaires “the worst people”:
What should we do to “the worst people?”
If you want evidence for this evolving narrative strategy, simply search for “billionaire” in X or BlueSky. The class war narrative is already seeping into corporate media headlines:
The Mangione-Thompson assassination was a perfect setup for the Democrats’ emerging class war narrative. Mangione’s weird, three-page handwritten manifesto wasn’t whining about healthcare. He aimed his 3-D printed pistol not at a particular person but at corporate greed and profits. Now, useful nitwits like Taylor Lorenz have taken the narrative ball and are running down the field with it.
Finally, have lots of questions. Mangione’s arrest did not resolve the most bizarre facts in his case. For example, how did Mangione know where Brian Thompson would be standing, without security, on the morning of December 4th? Who did Mangione talk to on his burner phone? Who helped Mangione?
Related: did the CIA ever try to recruit the young Valedictorian from boarding school or while he was at Penn?
I’m just asking.

DC Restaurant Server States She'll Refuse to Serve Trump Officials - and Gets an Appropriate Comeuppance
The libertarian in me insists that a private business should be able to refuse business to anyone. Back in the days before all the pettifoggery about "places of public accommodation" became accepted, it wasn't uncommon to see signs in bars, restaurants, and the like stating, "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone."
These same private businesses, though, also have the right to expect their employees to accept management's rules about who and who won't be served. So when a District of Columbia restaurant server announced her refusal to wait on Trump officials, her employer took swift action that would probably bring a grin to the president-elect's face.
Suzannah Van Rooy is entitled to her opinion but not on her employer's dime. Her employer acted decisively. And correctly.
This is the correct response.
Stuck On Stupid Democrats Plan Boycott of Inauguration
Many Democrats justified their boycott by invoking the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, despite the fact that Trump had nothing to do with it and had called on his supporters to protest peacefully. Representative Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the chairman of the J6 committee, referenced Trump’s “rhetoric” against him as his rationale.
Whatever, he won’t be missed.
Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) claimed her decision stemmed from “concerns” about her “safety” as a Latina—weird she didn’t use Latinx—citing Trump supporters’ presence at the event. Gimme a break.
This fearmongering doesn’t just insult millions of peaceful Trump voters; it reinforces the Democratic strategy of smearing political opponents as inherently racist.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) conveniently chose Martin Luther King Jr. Day events as her reason to avoid the inauguration. Something tells me that if Kamala Harris had won (God forbid), Omar would have found the time to attend the inauguration.
Again, she won’t be missed. Frankly, I’d rather she and her brother not attend.
According to Axios’s count, of the Democrats they contacted who responded, 13 are boycotting the 2025 inauguration, 20 are undecided, and 44 are attending. At least 55 Democrats boycotted Trump’s 2017 inauguration.
You’re probably thinking that after Democrats made such a big deal about the peaceful transfer of power, respecting democracy, and all that stuff, they should be making a point to attend the inauguration. Some actually are. According to Axios, Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), sees attending as a chance to restore faith in institutions. But it’s clear the party’s loudest voices have no interest in reconciliation or unity, only in deepening divides. When figures such as Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) claim they’re skipping due to “lingering trauma” from Jan. 6, it’s hard not to see this as yet another excuse to perpetuate the left’s victimhood narrative.
Far-right influencer Nick Fuentes claims home was among those targeted by homicide suspect
According to Illinois State Police, three people were killed in the 1100 block of Riverside Drive in Mahomet, located just outside of Champaign. All three were shot, with one pronounced dead at the scene and two others dying at area hospitals.
The man suspected in those killings was then spotted roughly two hours later, as authorities said Berwyn police responded to the 1800 block of Home Avenue for reports of a man armed with a gun.
Berwyn is located just over 144 miles from Mahomet.
Upon arrival, police said the man fled on foot and successfully escaped the two responding police officers before forcing his way into a home on a nearby street, where he fatally shot two dogs. Officials said the man then fled into a yard, once again on Home Avenue.
Police said the man, identified as 24-year-old John Lyons, was shot and killed by police after he fired several rounds towards responding officers.
