WIN BY LOSING: Trump can fire anybody he wants, thanks to Sean Spicer. “Thanks in part to a court fight former Trump White House spokesman Sean Spicer lost over his firing by Biden from a three-year term to the Board of Visitors to the United States Naval Academy, the incoming president will have the legal backing to dump any of Biden’s over 4,000 appointments who try to stick around. . . . Spicer said that is exactly what he hoped the courts would do because he wanted to help a future Trump presidency fire Biden’s picks without having its hands tied.”

ANALYSIS: TRUE. Lefty Logic Lures Loonies. It’s meant to. Leftism is weaponized neurosis. “Reading all of these pieces I’m seeing a story that goes something like this: Depressed, neurotic people (especially single women) are more likely to support Democrats. Democrats support policies and messaging that produce more depressed, neurotic people, especially single women. Now maybe this is an accident, but maybe it isn’t.”

RACISM, STRAIGHT UP: Black Harris staffers say they were mistreated on the campaign, blame leadership for taking base for granted.
Black Harris staffers are accusing the campaign leadership of mistreatment and “outright racial discrimination” in a damning new article outlining numerous allegations against the now defunct campaign.
The New York Times published a story Sunday titled “How Alarmed Harris Staffers Went Rogue to Reach Black and Latino Voters.” The story details a clandestine operation by some campaign staffers who ignored directives from the top and took matters into their own hands after feeling frustrated by the campaign’s lack of sufficient effort to reach voters of color in Philadelphia.
“Many staff members felt that Philadelphia’s racially diverse neighborhoods were ignored,” the Times story reads, adding that “Black campaign staff members and political operatives said campaign leadership dismissed concerns that Democrats were taking their base for granted.”
As the election drew closer, the frustration with campaign leadership on the issue reached a boiling point, according to more than 30 staffers interviewed by The Times.
…
“Some complained of outright racial discrimination. The campaign’s leadership was made aware of the survey’s results,” the article says.
So long as Democrats are blaming Harris, Biden, or each other, they aren’t doing anything to course-correct their party.
Which seems fine and fun to watch — until they do manage to put another radical in the White House.

MSNBC HAS REVEALED A SINISTER NEW DIMENSION TO PROGRESSIVE MEDIA BIAS:
And then there is MSNBC’s Joy Reid. On Tuesday, the TV host criticised Trump for “spending his time sitting in his golden palace, Mar-a-Lago, muscling other countries like he’s Tony Soprano with a social media site”. But one of the examples she gave was highly revealing. She cited his demand that Hamas – memo to the MSNBC faithful, that’s not a country – “release all hostages being held in Gaza before his inauguration, or there will be, quote, ‘all hell to pay in the Middle East’”.
That damned Don Soprano, making demands on Hamas! Who does he think he is?
MSNBC host Joy Reid is enraged President Trump has given Hamas a deadline to return the American hostages they kidnapped on 10/7.

The host is so out of touch with reality, and any coherent moral compass, that she apparently thinks it is legitimate to attack Trump for threatening savages who kidnap, rape, and murder Jews as punishment for being Jewish, and Americans for the crime of being American.
Unexpectedly – considering that we are talking about Al Sharpton’s cable TV network here, after all.
HEH: An Open Letter to Everyone Who Will Have Their Rights Taken Away on Jan. 20, 2025. “According to the erudite leftist voices at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and all throughout social media, President-elect Literally Hitler But Also Plus Sometimes Stalin (long, I know, but I don’t make the rules) is going to quickly take away the rights of the LGBTQ++ Rainbow Coalition as soon as he’s sworn in on Inauguration Day.”

ANOTHER GREAT TRUMP APPOINTMENT:
I'm extremely honored by President Trump's nomination to assist with our nation's civil rights agenda. It has been my dream to be able to serve our great country, and I am so excited to be part of an incredible team of lawyers led by @PamBondi. I cannot wait to get to work!
