Be Careful What You Wish For!

By Rich Kozlovich 

Editor's Note: This is an updated version of an article I published on June 20, 2023 which seems to be even more applicable now. RK

Going into the 2020 election the left, AKA, the Democrat party got what it wanted. Destroy the economy to get Trump.  Prior to this they came after the President with every lunatic claim they could muster to smear and destroy him, but his personal life was an open book, and a not such pretty one at that but everyone who voted for him knew it,  so that didn't work!  Then they tried impeachment, which some are still attempting to pull off, their impeachment claims fell like a ton of manure, and it fell right back on them, and as more information comes out, the manure is falling on a lot more people with the stench reaching very high levels of the Obama administration.

That left the economy.  Unfortunately for them, it was humming along so nicely they couldn't attack Trump on the economy without looking even more insane than before.   But then the nation faced one of the biggest political and scientific scams to hit the nation ever.  The coronavirus scam!  With this scientific fraud they managed to crush the economy and destroy a lot of lives, and waste trillions on their pet schemes, and create a system for voter fraud that would have never floated without the covid scam.  

But as the old saying goes - "be careful what you wish for!"  This all came back to haunt them, and Trump was elected again.

A Machiavellian principle.

Machiavelli's book "The Prince" made some amazingly simple, yet brilliant observations.  He showed the only thing the common people really want.  Security!  People want to be fed, housed, and furthermore, they want to feel secure in their ability to continue to be able to house and feed their families. Democrats have obviously worked hard to take that away from them, and the nation didn't feel secure at all, and that wasn't forgotten at election time.   How much more so will all this Democrat/leftist inspired, promoted, and funded violence impact both the 2026 midterm and the 2028 elections?

When the invertebrates in the Republican party ran McCain and Romney for the presidency, and conservatives stayed home in droves my conservative friends were aghast. I explained to them why.

It was clear these faux conservatives were taking the nation to exactly where the Democrat left was wanting to go, just a bit slower.  The difference between the Democrats and the Republicans was the Democrats wanted to take all your money, all your freedom, and control every aspect of you life, and do it right now.  The Republicans were willing to wait a week or two.  They were all undercover Rockefeller Republicans, just like Richard Nixon.

Conservatives had finally come to two conclusions.

  1. They were no longer going to support the Republicans who were not truly conservative.
  2. They felt the only way they could change the system was to allow the lunatic left to take over completely. That way the nation could see just how insane and corrupt they really are.

Now that’s happened, the Rockefeller Republicans, RINO's, Main Street Republicans, the Pravda media, and the those suffering from the Trump Derangement Syndrome are swirling the drain, and the alternative media along with MAGA base is in ascension.

There are some areas that will always have large segments of the population that will embrace leftist insanity, and there are states that are totally dominated by the left.  All these states are going to face the consequences of their own leftist dystopian policies.   They wasted trillions of dollars to offset this coronavirus fraud, and now they expect the federal government to bail them out of the unsustainable spending practices that have gone of for decades, like California's railway to nowhere where billions have been spent over these many years and not one mile of rail has been laid.  The federal government isn’t going to bail them out.  

Millions are migrating out of these states, along with many businesses, both small and large, in order to avoid total bankruptcy, all of which is destroying their tax base.  They had the right to do whatever they wanted regarding spending and taxation. The rest of the states have the right to expect them to face the consequences of their actions.

What's more, in five years the 2030 census will be conducted, they could potentially lose up to twenty five seats in the House of Representatives.  Which is why they're fighting so hard to prevent all these illegal migrants from being deported.  And that fight is being conducted through "spontaneous" acts of mass violence,  

It's Schadenfreude time, and in no way do I feel sorry for these people!

Year after year they looked down their noses at conservatives, constantly claiming conservatives were greedy, uncaring, selfish, racists and stupid. But they, the leftist, were pure of heart, righteous and brilliant. In short, they were far better morally and far smarter people with a clear understanding and vision as to how the world should function with all their virtue signaling.   Their problem isn't just their vision, it's the application of that vision, and while history has shown they're always sure, it's also shown they're rarely right. 

Now let them virtue signal themselves out of their mess.   Except for one thing. Those who've been in the forefront of all these leftist schemes are well off, and people with skills. They can afford to move to a state with conservative values and sound economic principles in place in order to avoid facing the consequences of their stupidity, leaving the least able to fend for themselves on their own.

Do I feel sorry for those left in these states who are unable to leave for various reasons? For the most part, No! When you talk to them about these issues they spout the same level of weirdness and low information ignorance as the rest, and they're just as arrogant in their ignorance as the rest.

Being ignorant is the norm, it just means we just don't know, and since there's just so much information about everything in the world, we're all in some state of ignorance. But that's fixable with learning. Stupid on the other hand is different. The stupid are the ignorant who refuse to learn.

Life is hard, but it’s really hard when your stupid, and stupid can’t be fixed. It can only be crushed.

The Upside to the L.A. Riots

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags: 

In days gone by the left would throw their hissy fits, burn down whole sections of the cities in which they live and the media would excuse their disgusting behavior, and these invertebrate  politicians, from both parties, would bow to their demands, instead of arresting them, and throwing them in jail... for long periods of time. 

One nitwit in Ferguson was setting fires with Molotov cocktails and decided to burn down the Seven Eleven right near where he lived, and then he discovered he didn't throw it in the Seven Eleven....he threw it into his house.  All upset the called the fire department, who was fighting fires set by dimwits just like him all over the city, and was told there was no one available, and they would get there when they could.

His response?  That was sure evidence of racism in the city fire department.  How can you reason with anyone that mentally retarded, emotionally unsound, philosophically corrupt, and blatantly stupid?  

This riotous insurrection, rebellion, revolution, etc., has done the nation a favor.  It's exposed just how vile the left is, and who is the real base for the Democrat party.  Here's what one writer calls the mascot for the Democrat party.   Does anyone besides me think that's just a bit......to put it as kindly as I can...... bizarre?  Does anyone besides me think she's not the exception among Democrat party members?  Does anyone besides me think this is going to be a huge negative for the Democrats during the 2026 midterms?  

Governor Newsome seems to think the founding fathers would have been thrilled at these rioters burning down the city, attacking the police and destroying property.  And they would have been outraged at the activation of the National Guard to stop it.  He must have missed history classes on those days when they discussed Shay's Rebellion and the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794

Democrats, Republicans, the Media, and The 2026/2028 Elections.

By Rich Kozlovich 

When push comes to shove the Democrats always march in lockstep, and assume ramming  speeds on their issues.   Historically the Republican’s would go all wiggly and then cave.  They don't fight, and one of the reasons why is getting a solid consensuses among Republican politicians is like herding cats. 

Normal Americans have been abandoned by the party and I really don't know what many of them, like Thom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Mitch McConnell, and others of that ilk actually stand for, all of whom I think can easily be classified as the McCain Cabal.  Whatever is the driving force behind their actions, conservatism isn't the foundational values they embrace.

For the most part Republican's haven't really been conservatives, they talk the talk to get elected, and once that happens the fail to walk the talk.  They've been invertebrates who gutlessly go along in order to avoid being attacked, and the reason why is they're clueless and unable to intellectually defend conservative positions, and would do almost anything to avoid being attacked by the media. ... until now.   Truth be told, the real honey badgers of the Republican party have been the women.  Now the men are finding out it's really cool to be tough, smart, challenging the left, including the media, who they feared like death itself in the past.  

But the times are a changing as the Pravda media has not been all that hot on history, facts, or truth, especially where it’s in conflict with their political prejudices, and now is circling down the drain, and some will be out of business soon.  The alternative media is ascendant!  Now the lies, corruption, and truth be told, the treason of the left is no longer being hidden behind the arrogant sneers and smirks of the Pravda media.  Transparency is ascendant, truth is ascendant, guts is ascendant, and glory follows guts. 

Here’s the way I see it now. In 1963 the Congressional Record published the 45 Communist Goals to Destroy America. Goal number 15 was, “Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States”.  They captured one party in it’s entirely, and the other among the leadership, but that leadership is changing. 

About 15 years ago or so…. probably closer to 20… they did a breakdown of the make up of the Republican party. Approximately 35 percent were Rockefeller Republicans, mostly the North Eastern leadership, 5 percent were Ron Paul Republicans and 60 percent were Reagan Republicans. But that’s changing as the leftist Rockefeller Republicans numbers have diminished dramatically, the Ron Paul Republicans are blending with the Reagan Republicans. 

So, let the Republicans fight it out among themselves until the Thom Tillis faction becomes extinct, and let the Democrats stay true to who they are, and watch them dwindle in numbers. The may vote in lockstep, but they have no leader, they have no agenda except for hidden agendas they dare not publish, and they have no solutions.  

Here's their agenda that's known by their actions.   Attacking Jews on American campuses, destroy Israel, uncontrolled immigration, promoting transgender athletes, promoting the murder of the innocent unborn, carving out special privileges for select groups, attacking Christians, and unrestrained spending and borrowing, their entire election strategy for 2026 and 2028 is to attack Trump, use a corrupt judiciary to thwart his efforts to save the nation economically, socially, domestically, and internationally, and be rude, crude, stupid, and violent.  With AOC and Jasmine Crockett being the current voices of the party, what could possibly go wrong? 

If You Think the GOP Is Screwed Up, Check Out the Democrats - You may feel terrible about being a member of the Republican Party because it’s the stupidest party in American politics until you remember that the Democrat Party exists – and no, the Libertarian Party is not actually a party; it’s the motley crew of pot-addled sophomores holding forth in the dorm suite common area at 2 a.m. of American politics.  

For all the failures, foibles, and follies of the inept GOP, the current Democrat Party is much, much worse off. I mean, just look at them. They’re treading water in a swamp of narcissistic mediocrity, abandoned by former allies like the working class, controlled by over-credentialed echo-chamber neurotics, and in thrall to a coalition of sexually confused neo-Marxist weirdos, losers, and mutations............

There Is Nothing Democrats Will Not Ruin - Is there a place in the country better off because Democrats have control over the local or state government? I mean, I guess if your hobby is getting pregnant so you can have an abortion, living in Chicago or Boston is a plus, but not if you’re a fan of things like not being robbed or shot. Otherwise, only slumlords and progressive “organizers” thrive in a world controlled by the left. And if you want to get your kid an education, forget about it. There is nothing Democrats can’t ruin, and there is nothing even potentially good they will not ruin.............

Anybody notice what's happened to San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf?-  It's well known that San Francisco is a urban disaster area, what with malls moving out, hotels shutting doors, conventions moving to other cities, thieves looting retailers with impunity, little shops fleeing, and entire districts full of homeless drug addicts looking like Dante's seventh circle of Hell.  But has anyone asked what's going on at Fisherman's Wharf, the city's most famous tourist destination? Sure, it's known as a tourist trap. But everyone likes to try its famous Italian and seafood restaurants at least once. Now it's a ghost town:..........

No sane person can believe those who are making noise to become the 2028 Democrat nominee: Cory Booker, AOC, Pete Buttigieg, Rahm Emanuel, Kamala Harris, Jasmine Crockett, Josh Shapiro, Andy Beshear, Gavin Newsom, J.B. Pritzker, and now it appears Beto O’Rourke is making noise for the nomination, can push their party back into control of the Congress or the White House. At least not without voter fraud on a massive scale, at which they’ve been expert.

My prediction for their 2028 nominee?  As of right now, I think Rahm Emanuel has the best shot.

Democrats in Disarray After Representative’s Impeachment Backfire

Didn’t think this one through, as they say.

By May 2, 2025 @ Liberty Nation News Tags: Articles, Opinion, Politics

When Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) posted a video on the social media platform X to announce his seven articles of impeachment for President Trump, he did so almost comically. It makes one wonder just what House Democrats were thinking. Thanedar was not exactly the best choice for what should be a grave and most serious course of action. But that question has now been answered. House Democratic leadership had not approved the congressman’s move, and the entire affair turned out to be an ill-timed miscalculation.

Additionally, it has exposed Thanedar as something of a grifter – if emerging reports about the immigrant pharma exec-turned-politician are accurate.

The impeachment adventure unraveled quickly. Top Democrats distanced themselves, with House Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar (D-CA) telling reporters, “[T]his is not an exercise that we’re willing to undertake.”

“We’re going to win elections,” Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) bluntly remarked to the Washington Examiner. “We’re not playing those stupid politics.”

A Rogue Impeachment

The day after Thanedar posted his video, three of the four Democrats who initially co-sponsored his resolution – Reps. Kweisi Mfume (MD), Jerry Nadler (NY), and Robin Kelly (IL) – requested that their names be withdrawn. Aides to Kelly and Mfume stated that both had abandoned the effort after learning it was unsanctioned. Rep. Kelly “was under the impression that the resolution was drafted and reviewed by both the House Judiciary Committee and Leadership when she originally signed on during a vote series on the floor,” said her office.

For Discerning News Hounds

Donavan McKinney, who plans to primary Thanedar, served up perhaps the most pragmatic response to the impeachment push. “We’ve done this. We’ve been through this circus already. How many times has Trump been impeached? He got reelected. He’s not going anywhere. We need to figure out another strategy to fight back.”

Beyond the lack of appetite among House Democrats to talk about impeachment – at least for the time being – Thanedar’s effort has backfired on him personally. Old media reports of his pharmaceutical company’s bankruptcy resurfaced. Insolvency wasn’t the big story, though. After a bank took ownership of the company, AniClin Preclinical Services, Thanedar shuttered his lab and, apparently, just walked away, leaving more than 170 research animals, mostly dogs and monkeys, inside without food and water. The animals were later rescued.

More bad news may be about to engulf the man who took it upon himself to launch an impeachment. Right-wing activist Laura Loomer claims Federal Election Commission records show that Shri for Congress, Thanedar’s re-election campaign, is currently $730,313.81 in debt. Loomer posted details on X:

“This financial hole stems from a staggering -$1,208,286.58 payment recorded on February 28, 2025. According to the FEC filing, the reason for this negative payment is ‘INVESTMENT INCOME LOSS’. Curiously, Shri Thanedar himself is listed as the recipient of this negative payment. Is ‘Getting Trump’ a game reserved for those who grift the hardest?”

Some possible motives have emerged for Thanedar’s unapproved decision to target the president with articles of impeachment. Having apparently used campaign funds to pay off a personal debt, the congressman perhaps hoped to use his impeachment efforts to raise some or all of the money needed to get his campaign back in the black. Or maybe this was about elevating himself above his primary contenders in the eyes of voters.

Liberty Nation depends on the support of our readers.

It turns out – or, at least, it now appears – that Rep. Thanedar was not all that serious about impeachment. Perhaps that explains why his big reveal on X just didn’t come across as genuine. Whatever the case, it is another victory for the president – albeit one of little consequence – and another wound for congressional Democrats to lick as they continue to search for ways to stop the Trump train.

My Gazette, Kamala Harris

By Rich Kozlovich Tags:

 Let's talk about Kamala.  Normally you would think anyone who performed as badly as she did in the 2024 election would be political burnt toast.  But, this is the Democrat party, a party of radicals who are the best weapon for the Republicans when they're talking.   And they have a ton of baggage to carry into the next election.  Why?  Because they claim they didn't lose because of their views and policies.  Nooooo, they lost because Americans are so stupid they didn't understand what they stood for.  Not to mention America is filled with a bunch of misogynist racists, Nazis, homophobes, and xenophobes.  So, they're doubling down on everything.

 America is not a sinful racist mess, but a great experiment as the only multiracial, self-reflecting, and self-critical democracy in history that did not—yet—descend into tribal chaos and violence. - Victor Davis Hanson

Kamala's campaign took in one billion dollars and ended up $20 million in debt, spending a million to get Oprah to appear with her, with LaBron only getting a piddling $50,000 for his sham endorsement.   Just who America needs to run the economy.  Right?  An incompetent political hack, who has been begging donors for cash.  

As for future funding for the whomever they Democrats pick, they have a massive corruption/legal problem with ActBlue.  How that plays out is yet unknown, but someone is going to jail over all this, who it will be and how far this investigation goes will be interesting to watch.

Let's start with her performance during the 2024 campaign, one where she was so unpopular in her own state she never lasted to the first primary.  Below are 36 reminders of who Kamala Harris was, who she is, it's who she will be in 2028.  And according to Joe Biden, she was a major player in all that went on during his administration.  Wow!  Now there's an endorsement for you.

No matter who the Democrats run in the midterms in 2026 and the Presidential election in 2028, they will have some very real baggage to overcome.  Especially since they don't see all they've done that's been an abject failure, and have decided they're going to double down on those policies, schemes, and machinations.   

Of course in California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington, just to mention a few states they're destroying, where the citizens seem to like the social disaster, high taxes, and no real law enforcement going on in their lives so they'll keep supporting their own destruction.

2026/2028 Elections, and ActBlue in Review

  • ActBlue smurfs its way to oblivion  - ActBlue quickly became a major source of campaign funding for Democrats/socialists/communists (D/s/cs), and prior to the 2024 presidential election, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability asked then Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen for all of ActBlue’s Suspicious Activity Reports (SARS).  SARS are reports federally required of banks of unusual, likely illegal, financial transactions. Yellen, of course, didn’t comply, apparently hoping Kamala Harris would win and the SARS would never be revealed. America was unburdened of Harris, so it didn’t turn out that way for ActBlue. Our current Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, is cooperating...........
  • Congress Demands Anew Treasury Provide Access to Suspicious Activity Reports Involving ActBlue - The Biden administration failed to fully comply with a demand to allow Congress to review Suspicious Activity Reports involving the massive Democrat online fundraising platform ActBlue, prompting a fresh request Monday to the Trump Treasury Department, according to correspondence obtained by Just the News. House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., and House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., made the joint request to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant seeking access to the SARs, which are required by federal law when banks suspect money laundering or other suspicious activity.
  • Rep. Andy Biggs Calls for FBI to Investigate Democrat Donor Platform Over ‘Suspicious Transactions’ - Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) called for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to investigate the Democrat National Committee’s donor platform, ActBlue, over “suspicious donations.” In a letter addressed to FBI
  • A creepy, crawly, ActBlue-fueled campaign of violence against Elon Musk's Tesla? - Are the crazed leftists of ActBlue trying to destroy Elon Musk's Tesla company? Sure seems like it, based on what Musk himself has uncovered:...........If true, sounds like someone needs to be in jail. .........
  • Democrat Donor Platform ActBlue Faces Investigation from House Republicans into ‘Potential Fraud’ -  The Democratic National Committee’s donor platform, ActBlue, is facing an investigation by Republicans on the House Oversight Committee regarding “potential fraud” linked to donations made to candidates’ campaigns............
  • Exclusive: Jim Jordan, Bryan Steil Demand Democrats ...House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI) demanded the Democrats’ major fundraising platform, ActBlue, and its third party to divulge whether or not it raised money from foreign nationals in the recent election cycle, Breitbart News learned exclusively.Raising money directly or indirectly from foreign nationals is illegal, according to federal election law.
  •  GOP Rep. Palmer: Multi-Millionaires, Maybe Billionaires .........During an appearance on Mobile, AL radio FM Talk 106.5 on Wednesday, Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL), chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, said he believed wealthy funders were using ActBlue to circumvent contribution limits and funnel money to Democratic candidates.  According to Palmer, who also serves on the House Oversight Committee, some of the $2.2 billion raised through ActBlue was made with small-dollar contributions that did not have to be reported to the Federal Election Commission by people who may not be aware they were making contributions.........
  • Virginia AG Raises Concerns to ActBlue over 'Suspicious' - Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares raised concerns to ActBlue, the Democratic National Committee’s donor platform, over “suspicious” donations made in “volumes” that seem “facially implausible.”

Maxine & Co. – Why the Shouting, Singing, and Swearing Is Not Working

Another day, another silly protest.

By Feb 16, 2025  @ Liberty Nation News, Tags: Articles, Opinion, Politics

Even James Carville is flummoxed. As President Donald Trump moves at a breakneck speed to change the course of America, prominent Democrats have taken to the streets in small numbers to express their displeasure. Protesting, of course, is their right as US citizens. But why the loyal opposition believes trotting out the elderly likes of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will be effective is anyone’s guess. More and more, their vitriol – replete with fussing and fuming – appears to be, in the words of Shakespeare, “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” As Trump rips through the bureaucratic maze of misused funds and the holy mess of an administrative state gone rogue, progressives find themselves standing out in the cold – literally – lamenting their opposition in song and words that would make a sailor blush.

Maxine: Unhinged Optics

Television is a deceptive and shrewd liar. Zoom into a tight shot, and it looks like there is a big crowd. However, the tell comes through the audio. Even with the best sound equipment, audio techs can’t make a couple of dozen people sound like the roar of a large crowd unless they sweeten the track, which is generally a no-no in the news business. As well, someone should tell Ms. Waters that shouting into a microphone overmodulates it, and the sound becomes distorted. There is, in fact, never a reason to scream into a microphone because its purpose is to amplify sound.

Simply put, if she stopped shouting, people might actually understand what she has to say. But perhaps that’s not the point. It may be that her words are meaningless, and the real message is her anger.

That brings one to question why Maxine & Co. are so exasperated. Is it because billions of taxpayer dollars are being saved? As Ruy Teixeira, writing for the Liberal Patriot, averred, “[O]ddly, Democrats seem to have decided that hitching their wagon to government bureaucracies is just the ticket they need to storm back against Trump and GOP.” Thus, they rail in favor of the profligate spending of USAID, but one must wonder if this is an effective rallying cry. Teixeira points out: “[U]nsurprisingly, anti-foreign aid sentiment runs highest among working-class voters, precisely the people who have been defecting from the Democrats to Trump, and without whose votes the Party cannot recover.”

In running for office for a third time, Donald Trump astutely claimed the mantle of the change candidate, and thus far, he’s more than kept that promise. In the run-up to Nov. 5, an article in The New York Times postulated:

“Running on change is often smart politics. Voters are perennially unhappy with the country’s trajectory, and the pandemic made it worse. According to Gallup, it has been two decades since a majority of Americans said they were satisfied with the direction of the nation. No wonder politicians cater to them with promises of new beginnings.”

Democratic strategist James Carville has made no bones about the fact that he believes his party has turned off the working-class voter with its far-left progressive policies on gender, etc. “And it’s like, there’s a, a plant somewhere in quote, progressive, unquote America, that just to seize how many jacka–, stupid things that they can embrace, it’s stunningly stupid.”
