      FROM THE DNC ITSELF AND YET THEY’RE OBLIVIOUS TO ALL AMERICANS EXCEPT THE CRIMINALS WHO PREY ON EVERYONE.

      DNC’s 2024 Autopsy: ‘We Ignored Voters, Crashed Economy, Botched Border’ – CA Dems Double Down on the Corpse
      Assemblymember Jasmeet Bains and progressive challenger Randy Villegas are both advancing the same policies that contributed to the national rout

      By Megan Barth, May 21, 2026 1:39 pm

      The Democratic National Committee has published its long-awaited postmortem on the 2024 presidential election disaster, confirming what millions of Americans already knew: the party lost touch with everyday voters on the economy, immigration, and cultural issues.

      The report (see below), commissioned by the DNC and released amid internal pressure, explicitly cites “a persistent inability or unwillingness to listen to all voters” as a key factor in Kamala Harris’s defeat. It acknowledges that Democrats “have lost the confidence we once received from everyday Americans,” particularly on the economy, which the party now admits was in bad shape under Biden-Harris. The autopsy also highlights immigration failures, including Harris’s role as “border czar,” and notes the political damage from her past support for extreme positions.

      One flashpoint mentioned in related campaign analysis was Harris’s 2019 pledge supporting taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries, including for those in immigration detention. She stated she would ensure access to “comprehensive treatment associated with gender transition, including all necessary surgical care” for federal prisoners and detainees.

      Despite this clear repudiation of the Biden-Harris agenda, two Democratic candidates in California’s competitive 22nd Congressional District are showing no signs of learning from the defeat. Assemblymember Jasmeet Bains and progressive challenger Randy Villegas are both advancing the same policies that contributed to the national rout.

      Bains, a physician and establishment favorite, reportedly backed legislation providing taxpayer-funded gender transition procedures for illegal immigrants while in the state Assembly. Villegas, a community college professor running on a far-left platform, has championed Biden-era open border approaches, opposed deportations of criminal illegal immigrants, and is campaigning in part on policies critics say undermine law enforcement.

      Both candidates opposed the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, which delivered relief by cutting taxes on overtime pay, Social Security benefits, and tips for working Americans.

      RNC Spokesman Nick Poche sharply criticized the California Democrats’ refusal to adapt:

      “Democrats are refusing to learn the lessons of 2024 and are doubling down on every unpopular idea that led to rampant inflation, spiking energy costs, and dangerous criminals flooding the country. Jasmeet Bains and Randy Villegas are still all-in on amnesty for criminal illegal immigrants, taxpayer-funded transgender surgery, and defunding law enforcement because they are a vessel for the radical left, not Californians.”

      The DNC report underscores broader problems, including failure to connect with working-class voters, Latinos, men, and rural Americans who rejected the party’s priorities in 2024. Yet in California’s Central Valley, where cost of living, crime, and border security remain top concerns, local Democrats appear determined to ignore the warning signs.

      Voters in the June 2 primary for CA-22 will have a clear choice between continuing the failed status quo or demanding change. As the DNC’s own autopsy makes plain, the path Bains and Villegas are on has already been rejected at the ballot box once. Californians may deliver the same verdict again

          And yet under his leadership in less then his first year the FBI caught more of the top 10 on the FBI ‘s most wanted list then Biden’s administrations 4 years. I guess going after Biden’s political rivals and parents of school children took up all of their time.

    Sure wish the native Americans wouldn’t have melted the ice caps and raised the ocean over 400 feet, causing the massive climate issue we have today. They owe reparations and need to have all the land they stole from previous tribes confiscated.

      What does that have to do with trump’s war increasing gas prices?

      • Anonymous   May 21, 2026 1:36 pm - at 1:36 pm

        You’re right, gas prices havent been this high across our Nation since 2023 with Biden’s war on big oil. Remember how he drained our strategic oil supplies to gain 5 cents and then bragged how he lowered prices and blaming the owners of gas stations for the price increases? Only a democrat would believe that BS

    BREAKING NEWS THE LEGACY MEDIA WON’T REPORT

    Unbelievable, Biden and the Dumbascraps gave ONE BILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS FOR PALESTINE TERRORIST PAYMENTS TO KILL AMERICAN AND ISRAEL CITIZENS!!!
    Thats what dumbascraps call their style of democracy.

    American News May 21, 2026
    Trump State Department settles lawsuit over $1 BILLION sent to Palestinian Authority by Biden admin
    Trump State Department settles lawsuit over $1 BILLION sent to Palestinian Authority by Biden admin
    The Palestinian Authority’s “Pay to Slay” system distributes payments to terrorists and their families for committing attacks against Americans and Israelis.

    America First Legal and the US Department of State have settled a lawsuit alleging that the Biden administration unlawfully restored taxpayer-funded aid benefiting the Palestinian Authority despite federal restrictions tied to its controversial “Pay to Slay” terrorist reward payment program.

    The settlement, signed May 19 in Jackson et al. v. Trump et al., requires the State Department to comply with the Taylor Force Act for the next ten years and establishes new criteria officials must use before approving Economic Support Fund assistance for the West Bank and Gaza.

    Congress passed the Taylor Force Act after the 2016 murder of US Army veteran and West Point graduate Taylor Force, who was stabbed to death by Palestinian terrorist Bashar Masalha while visiting Israel. The Palestinian Authority later praised Masalha as a “heroic martyr” and paid his family through its terror stipend system, according to court documents.

    The law, signed by President Donald Trump in 2018, prohibits US economic assistance that directly benefits the Palestinian Authority unless the State Department certifies that the PA has ended its policy of paying terrorists and their families. During Trump’s first administration, the US halted funding covered by the law.

    According to the lawsuit, however, the Biden administration reinstated funding to the Palestinian Authority despite the PA continuing the “Pay to Slay” program. America First Legal alleged the administration transferred more than $1 billion in taxpayer funds to benefit the PA after Biden took office.

    The Palestinian Authority’s “Pay to Slay” system distributes payments to terrorists and their families for committing attacks against Americans and Israelis. The payments are funded through the PA’s so-called “Martyr Fund,” with monthly stipends increasing based on the severity of the attack and the number of casualties inflicted. Congress explicitly stated in the Taylor Force Act that the PA’s practice of paying salaries to imprisoned terrorists and to the families of deceased terrorists “is an incentive to commit acts of terror.”

    Court documents in the case noted that Congress passed the law after determining that even indirect US assistance to the Palestinian Authority could free up resources for the terror payment system.

    AFL filed the lawsuit in 2022 on behalf of Rep. Ronny Jackson, Stuart and Robbi Force, and Sarri Singer, a survivor of a 2003 Jerusalem bus bombing.

    The settlement requires State Department officials reviewing aid packages to consider whether the Palestinian Authority is the direct recipient of assistance, whether the aid pays PA creditors, whether the PA controls the beneficiary entity, and whether the assistance replaces services the PA would otherwise fund itself.

    The agreement also binds the federal government for the next decade and allows future court enforcement if the terms are violated.

    “This case has always been about one simple principle: terrorism should never be rewarded, and stopping economic support funds to the PA unless Pay to Slay has ended,” said Sarri Singer. “As a victim of terrorism and a survivor of a Hamas bus bombing, I have lived with the painful reality that the person who carried out the attack against me is not only honored, but that his family receives monthly payments because of that act of violence. That is not just policy; it is deeply personal, and no victim should ever have to live with it. This settlement brings a level of accountability and helps ensure that the U.S. is not contributing, even indirectly, to incentivizing terror.”

    “This settlement continues [President Trump’s] legacy,” AFL President Gene Hamilton said, calling it “an important victory for the rule of law, for victims of terrorism, and for the principle that America must never finance terror.”

    Rep. Jackson said the agreement helps “ensure no American family endures such a loss again,” while Stuart Force called the settlement “a good day” but noted it was bittersweet because his wife Robbi, who spent years advocating for the law after their son’s murder, had since died.

    The settlement also requires the government to preserve records related to support provided to the Palestinian Authority and related entities between January 20, 2021, and January 20, 2025, for seven years.

    Those who back, and vote Trump, are obviously intellectually deficient. They are easily manipulated. Are very gullible. Are subject to hyperbole. They easily accept being lied to. They are very compliant to being grifted. They do not recognize being lied to by a conman. They are stupid people.

    Almost 2 billion in a slush fund. One billion for a ballroom. That he said would not cost the taxpayers a dime. Money to insurrectionists that beat down capital police. And attempted to change the outcome of a presidential election. Throw in an order to never be able to hold the Trump crime family to one billion in tax liability. That spans the last ten years. Oh, we forgot Jeffrey EPSTEIN …
