It took a few months, but the people on the other side are finally looking at themselves in the mirror. And they don’t like what they see. So what do they see? How about a political party looking for votes in all the wrong places, to paraphrase that tune on the radio? Yes, not too much love, or too many votes, for telling fathers that men have a constitutional right to take their daughters’ trophies in the next track meet. That kind of talk won’t get you votes or love in the real world.
So what does this party do? Well, David Catron filed this report:
If you have had difficulty finding some reason to support the Democratic Party and its increasingly bizarre policy positions, you are not alone. Two national polls released on Sunday reveal that the party’s favorability ratings have plunged to catastrophic lows. According to a new NBC News survey, just 27 percent of registered voters hold a positive view of the Democratic Party — its lowest rating since 1990. Likewise, a new CNN poll indicates that only 29 percent of U.S. adults regard the party favorably — a low not seen since 1992. These two polls confirm an equally ominous Quinnipiac survey conducted last month.
Both surveys clearly illuminate why the public harbors such a low opinion of the Democrats, and why this is very unlikely to change. The NBC poll, for example, found the following: “Democratic voters say they want their party to hold the line on their positions even if it leads to gridlock, rather than focus on finding areas of compromise with the president.”
The CNN survey suggests that a similarly suicidal perspective pervades the party: “Democrats and Democratic-aligned independents say, 57 percent to 42 percent, that Democrats should mainly work to stop the Republican agenda, rather than working with the GOP majority.”
That’s bad news, to put it politely.
The party is consumed with President Trump. The best example of this, or Exhibit A, is Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett of Dallas, Texas. She said over the weekend that we may not have elections in 2028. Honestly, this congresswoman should spend more time in her district.
Coming in a close second in the battle of Trump Derangement Syndrome is Senator Chris Murphy. He wants his party to change tactics. No more “business as usual.” What does that mean? Your guess is as good as mine.
And last, but not least, Lady AOC is topping the list of presidential candidates for 2028.
Honestly, there are still serious men like Doug Schoen. He is telling his party to stand up for something that people can relate to, not just standing up to Trump. Good luck with that, Mr. Schoen.
So let’s see what happens. Can the Democrats come back from this hole? Time will tell. Of course, 2026 and 2028 will be a referendum on President Trump and the GOP majority. The pressure is to perform.
In the meantime, we will keep an eye on the Democrats and see if they keep looking for votes in all the wrong places.

We remember Chuck Berry (1926-2017)
We remember Chuck Berry died on this day in 2017.
Chuck Berry was a huge influence and the "author" of those rock guitar riffs that we grew up listening to!
His songs were covered by everyone, from Beatles to The Rolling Stones to every garage band from coast to coast.
We are delighted to remember a real American legend, the one and only Chuck Berry!

‘She’s my little Musk coupe’
‘She’s my little Musk coupe’: All of a sudden, I want to buy a Tesla. Not really. It’s a great car but my paid-for, practical Ford is doing everything that a car should do. In the meantime, it’s easy to see why so many people are fond of looking to buy a Musk Mobile. ...

The mighty Tesla, once the pride of the college professors invested in climate change and committed to saving us from fossil fuels, is now the latest exhibit of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Who saw that coming? Who sees anything coming anymore? It’s like The Twilight Zone and The…

Happy # 87 to Jimmie Hall from the 1965 AL champs Minnesota Twins
In my book "Cubanos in Wisconsin", I wrote about the Minnesota Twins, the 1965 AL champs. They were the first team that I followed after arriving in Wisconsin back in 1964.
We say happy birthday Jimmie Hall, one of my favorite players on those Minnesota teams. Hall was born in North Carolina on this day in 1938.
Hall had a quick start in the majors: 33 HR and 80 RBI in his rookie season of 1963.
In 1965, Hall hit .285, 20 HR and 88 RBI. He was part of a lineup that included Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew, AL batting champ Tony Oliva, AL MVP Zoilo Versalles and power hitter Bob Allison.
Hall played 4 seasons with the Twins: 98 HR and 288 RBI. He was traded to the Angels in 1967 and bounced around several teams until his retirement in 1970.
Happy birthday Jimmie Hall!

The Godfather: 53 and getting better all the time
The Godfather: 53 and getting better all the time: Nineteen seventy-two was a good year as I recall. Nixon was re-elected with 49 states, the A’s won the first of three consecutive World Series titles, and you got to practice your Italian at the movies.
Yes, we say Happy #53 to…..

Nineteen seventy-two was a good year as I recall. Nixon was re-elected with 49 states, the A’s won the first of three consecutive World Series titles, and you got to practice your Italian at the movies.
Yes, we say Happy #53 to The Godfather.
In my opinion, Gone with the Wind (1939), Casablanca (1941), and The Godfather from 1972 are the three greatest American movies ever. Some of you will agree or disagree or select different movies. However, it’s hard to argue that The Godfather took violence, revenge, and even brotherly love to a new level.
Furthermore, The Godfather, like Casablanca, is just as good today as it was many years ago. Our sons were born in the late 1980s, and they enjoy the movie as much as I did.
I know that there was a little “too much blood” in The Godfather, but the movie was well written, and the acting was superb. To be frank, how can you make a movie about eliminating your opponents without a little gunfire and blood?
My favorite scene is the one with the horse head. Who came up with the idea of putting that horse head on the bed? Brilliant! Who remembers the audience’s reaction to this? No one expected that.
My second is when Michael goes to the restaurant and kills the two guys after finding the gun in the bathroom. I love when they are speaking in Italian. Great stuff! The audience reaction to this shooting was unbelievable.
My third favorite scene is Mama Corleone singing in Italian at her daughter’s wedding.
What makes those scenes so wonderful is that you have no clue what’s coming. Great stuff!
Great movie. It’s also a great family story. So enjoy it when you need a break from all the Musk-bashing and nonsense from Democrats.

The Congress passed the CR and it’s time to move on to reconciliation. The big question is can the Democrats get it together? The party doesn’t have a leader or message. The Godfather 1972
