Across the political left, from orthodox Democrats to Antifa in the streets, the opposition to President Trump has lost its collective mind.

A selection of examples:

* The House minority leader and now-self-styled tough guy, New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, poses with a baseball bat to show how dangerous he is in opposing Trump’s budget bill.

* Jeffries harangued Congress for eight hours; New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker went on for 25 — both to no effect.

* Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) hit the rally trail in private jets to rail about oligarchs, omitting that the ultra-rich are not only mostly leftists but also the funders of the Democratic Party.

* Democrats in Congress make bizarre videos, featuring profanity like f*** or s***. On other occasions, they scream and interrupt Congress.

Hooray! President Donald Trump’s decision to send “billions of dollars” worth of weapons to Ukraine via NATO could prove a game-changer in Kyiv’s 40-month-old war against Russian aggression.

POTUS  on Monday (7/14) also announced 100% “secondary tariffs” targeting Moscow if it fails to agree to a cease-fire within 50 days.

It’s a terrific combination.

Russia’s been stepping up its attacks civilian areas, while the sanctions could break Russia’s economy.

In addition to defensive systems,  Ukraine will also get offensive weapons, including long-range missiles that can reach far into Russia territory, Axios reports. The Russian public, and Putin himself, will feel the consequences.

Best of all, NATO countries will be paying the bill — with proceeds going to US manufacturers for weapons they produce. Sweet.

US President Donald Trump’s very public volte face in his attitude towards Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin is aimed at forcing the Kremlin to end the war in Ukraine.

Another consequence, though, of the package of measures Trump announced this week is that it could end the toxic alliance of despotic regimes that has formed with the specific goal of targeting the West.

Trump’s mounting frustration with Putin’s refusal to take Washington’s ceasefire plan seriously has led the American leader to authorize a new arms package for Ukraine – including Patriot air defense systems. He is also threatening to impose punitive tariffs on any country that continues to do business with Putin’s repressive regime if no agreement to end the war is reached within 50 days.

And it is the latter measure, with talk in Washington of tariffs ranging from 100-500 per cent, that will send alarm bells ringing in Beijing, Pyongyang and Tehran about the wisdom of maintaining ties with Putin.

Much has been written about the enormous scandal involving the Biden administration’s cover-up of Joe Biden’s dementia.

His senility was obvious when he ran for president in 2020, but was covered up by the manufactured COVID pandemic. He was even then an easily manipulated fool/tool of the far left from the moment he took control of the presidency.

Now we know that he was never an acting president.   He was the radical left’s frontman.

What is pathetic is that his handlers ever thought for even one moment that putting him before the public was wise.  The man was a disaster of monumental proportions.  Consider that satanic, scarlet speech he spewed in Philadelphia as if he were the devil incarnate.  He sort of was.

Back to the autopen.

House Democrats are getting torched by their own base - and some of their constituents are literally suggesting they light a match. Shocker, we know - from the party that held nationwide riots over George Floyd (though 'mostly peaceful' of course), tried to assassinate Donald Trump and Steve Scalise, and put Rand Paul in the hospital.

Liberal activists are confronting Democrat lawmakers in town halls, office meetings, and online, demanding they ditch political niceties and start “fighting dirty” — even if it means getting hurt, arrested, or worse.

“There is fear and despair and anger among our voters that puts us in a different position where  we can't keep following norms of decorum anymore,” one House Democrat admitted to Axios, as Dems face a mounting tidal wave of frustration from within their own ranks.

In candid interviews with over two dozen House Democrats, Axios found a theme of rage  and a dangerous appetite for violence.

Has Elon Musk gone off the deep end yet again?

Until a few days ago, we thought he had established a cautious truce with President Trump, having apologized for all the awful things he said about the man who had given him a major role in government, estranging their relationship significantly.

Ostensibly, it was all supposedly over the passage in Congress of Trump's budget, known as the Big Beautiful Bill.

It's true that federal spending did increase with its passage and should not have, but it wasn't a massive expansion. It contained critical tax cuts, money for immigration enforcement, money for defense and other important spending.

Nevertheless, Musk was incensed, as if this was the first time he ever heard of it, his ego wounded because it seemingly negated his DOGE work (it didn't so long as DOGE remains in place as it does), and now he says he wants to start a third party, presumably to challenge Trump's party as well as the leftists.

A quick visit to my Wikipedia page will confirm, “Jack Cashill is an American author, blogger and conspiracy theorist.”

Yet, as I wrote here two months ago, I turned down a serious offer to co-author a book on Jeffrey Epstein, and this after a month of research and several proposal drafts.

I have no doubt that Jeffrey Epstein was an evil pervert. Where I lacked confidence is that I could prove Epstein kept a client list or that he used his videos to blackmail prominent individuals, let alone that one of those individuals orchestrated Epstein’s murder.

I do have confidence, however, in the integrity of FBI Director Kash Patel and Assistant Director Dan Bongino.
