The Conservative Cave

It gets better: 8 of the 11 Democrats who didn't show up (including their House Whip) were at a fundraiser hosted by an organization called Elect Democratic Women, which is connected to AIPAC.

That's going to rankle many Democrats, especially the far-left variety.

Caught this tangentially related story today about "Top 8 Democrats to Watch for 2028". I'll add my editorial comment when necessary:

Mark Halperin’s 2028 Democratic Power Rankings Have One Big Problem

Veteran political journalist Mark Halperin has released his first “8 for ’28” rankings of potential Democratic presidential contenders since the midterm elections, but as with any early horse race, he acknowledges there’s a chance many of those on the list won’t even run for president. Also, the two men at the top share one enormous problem.

Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.) and Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) claim the top two spots, in that order, after convincingly winning reelection in battleground states.

The two men were the biggest winners of the midterms, and Halperin argues they are the only two Democrats most Republicans he talks to genuinely fear facing in a general election. Ossoff jumped from No. 8 on last month’s list, and Halperin says he easily could have ranked him No. 1 after talking with Democratic sources, who were most impressed by both men’s communication and fundraising abilities.

But the obvious problem is that both are Jewish, a big negative for the increasingly antisemitic Democratic Party. Halperin wonders whether two hypothetical developments might make that more palatable: Benjamin Netanyahu no longer being Israel’s prime minister and the Iran war receding from the headlines. He also notes that Ossoff is less culturally Jewish and observant than Shapiro, so “maybe he cheats the difference there.”

If you think the antisemites in the Democratic Party will be okay with a Jew who doesn’t observe the Sabbath and criticizes Netanyahu, watch this video of California state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-11th District), who is Jewish and as progressive as they come, being harassed at a trans march in San Francisco.

#3 : Sandy Cortez
#4 : Greasy Gavin
#5 : Chest Feeder from South Bend
#6 : Heels Up Cackala
#7 : That Goobernor from Kentucky who no one knows shit about but the media loves.
#8 : Seditious former bald astronaut

My humble opinion. In this current and likely future atmosphere, the Democrat/Socialist/Communist Party absolutely cannot run a Jew. Their rules not mine, as I have no issues with Judaism or any form of Christianity or peaceful religion. Noticed that the cherubic billionaire nepoboy Goobernor of Illinois isn't listed. He's also a a Jew. Rich and Jewish? Two strikes against you, fat boy.

I miss the barely one-year election run-up to a Presidential election. And when all ballots are counted within a day or so. I suppose the social media atmosphere creates this claptrap and hubbub constantly. But sadly don't think we can ever get back to that.

Oh, the backstabbing has only begun, DUrps. Your party just can't help itself.

Once they betray their country, betraying the DUmp'Rat proles who foolishly put them "in power" is ridiculously easy. 

Maybe you didn't storm the Capitol, but you sure as hell cheered rioters on as they destroyed civilian buildings, in response to lies about police shootings.

... Ron Filipkowski summarizes the stakes involved here nicely and why this is going to have "legs":

He writes "I realize I'm in a tiny minority here, but I consider Nvidia selling sensitive AI tech to a Chinese spy after Trimp approved the sale despite warnings from the US intelligence and Congress about security concerns to be a much bigger story than the Dana White foolish distraction."

When half-truthing is full-lying. From https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/trump-fbi-china/2026/11/10/id/1275740/ :

Huang has also helped persuade Trump to take a lighter touch on regulating AI, arguing that existing laws could cover any security issues stemming from the technology and that individual companies should behave responsibly with the products they develop and release.

Huang also has lobbied Washington to loosen limits on sales of Nvidia chips to China in recent years, winning Trump's approval for selling its H200 chips this year. It's unclear if Beijing would allow Chinese companies to buy those chips in large quantities. Nvidia said in a regulatory filing in August that it has sold only a small amount to China as such sales are restricted by the Chinese government.

The H200 chips are not Nvidia's most cutting-edge models, but they are still advanced. Previously, Huang also lobbied Trump to be allowed to sell Nvidia's less-advanced H20 chips, which were designed to comply with U.S. export restrictions on China.

My emphasis.

Seattle School Board Votes to Fight Trans Athlete Ban in Court

https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/11/10/seattle-school-board-votes-to-fight-trans-athlete-ban-in-court-n3820869

As we covered last week, ballot initiatives involving trans athletes did well on election night despite the success of Democrats at the polls. In fact, such initiatives even passed in two blue states that went blue across the board.
...
The fact that these initiatives passed by a clear majority of voters really ought to matter to elected officials but it clearly does not. In King County, Washington, which includes the city of Seattle, the school board held a special closed-door session to discuss it in private. The head of the school board spelled out the "reasoning" for fighting the voters in court.

Quote

Speaking before the vote during a special meeting to discuss the issue, school board director Joe Mizrahi laid out his concerns with the initiative: Washington has existing laws to protect student privacy and discrimination, and to guarantee equal protection and access to opportunities in education.

“And Initiative 638 did not repeal any of those laws, so all those laws still exist,” he said. “And right now, I don’t see how we can implement the requirements of Initiative 638 without violating those other laws and constitutional protections."

“Our responsibility is to ask the courts to help us understand how to meet our legal obligations, especially as the privacy and dignity of our students are at stake,” he added.

Before taking the vote, the board entered into a closed session to discuss the matter. The seven-member board then passed the resolution unanimously after brief discussion in open session, to a smattering of applause.

Democracy!!! Except when we disagree with the Demos ...
