2025 is already shaping up to be a pretty good political year. In 14 days, Democrats will not be in control of any branch of government. They will only control regime media, which is decreasing in viewership and influence by the day. 

Up north, if the scuttlebutt is true, Canada's long national nightmare might end today with the resignation of Justin "Baby Castro" Trudeau. And Labour's reign in the United Kingdom may be measured in Scaramucci's rather than years, because Keir Starmer has lost 49 points in approval, and that was before it turns out that as prosecutor in Pakistani sex and groomer gang cases, his conduct is being covered up. The Labour government is blocking an inquiry into his performance.  

Joe Biden continues to demonstrate the slide into mental decline is a steep grade. If his decline were a highway, it would need a special truck lane. At the White House over the weekend, the addled President called up young Alicio, who was celebrating a birthday. Here's what came out.



On the Sunday shows, It was a mixture of a farewell tour of Democratic governance combined with newfound concern about deficit spending now that Republicans are going to be running things. But on Meet the Press with Kristen Welker, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was asked about his previous assurance of the President's mental acuity, and naturally weaseled his way around it.



Later in the program on their panel, former Biden staffer and MSNBC host, Symone Sanders, continues to maintain the illusion that what you see isn't who Joe Biden is. In truth, she maintains, he's just as sharp as ever. 



Speaking of delusional, Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi limped her way back to Washington, D.C. on her new bionic hip and naturally was booked to appear on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan. Of course, Pelosi no longer is in Democratic leadership, nor are the Democrats going to be controlling any levers of power for at least the next two years. But somehow, Brennan and CBS figured she was the perfect person from which people wanted to hear about the anniversary of January 6th.



Yeah, somehow, my thinking is the American people voted not to care too much about January 6th, despite what Pelosi says. She also had this little number to lay on you.



On the issue of ethics, I am not going to be cast as a sexist. I am happy to state that both men and women are equally capable of being corrupt windbags. In fact, in the history of mankind, there's only one person who's been supremely ethical, and that was Jesus, who happened to be a man. Everyone else, men and women alike, have fallen short. Pelosi is simply talking out of her unethical hindquarters here. In fact, her own ethical lapses are directly proportional to her stock portfolio gains. 

On foreign policy, outgoing Secretary of State Antony Blinken, easily the most anti-Israel secretary of State this country has produced, sat down with the New York Times' Lulu Garcia-Navarro, and said he's finally come down to faulting the entity most responsible for the fact that no hostage deal was reached. 



447 days after Hamas launched the attacks on Israel - murders, rapes, kidnappings, stabbings, and shootings, Antony Blinken is reluctantly having to admit that the barriers to peace are the same people who started it in the first place. Who'da thunk it? 

On This Week with George Stephanopoulos, sporting the sweater instead of the sportcoat, maybe because his post-settlement budget doesn't afford suits as much as it used to, brought on impeached and disgraced Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Alejandro's take? All this talk about terrorists coming over the border are overblown.



You know who that's news to? House Intel Chairman Mike Turner, who said something quite different on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.



On economics, Joe Biden oversaw $8 trillion in deficit spending during his four years. The national debt is now over $36 trillion dollars. 

In case you’re not convinced DOGE is necessary for the survival of our country and our economy, here are some facts about the US national debt:

- The current national debt of $36.2T is $104k per person, or $273k per household. If you’re an average family, your share of the… pic.twitter.com/AwX9251mIN

But on the Sunday shows, now that Republicans are going to be in charge, regime media hosts all of a sudden are now budget and deficit hawks. They're newly concerned about how much stuff costs. Here's Kristen Welker worried about the price tag of extending the Trump tax cuts with Senate Majority Leader John Thune.



Meanwhile, on Face the Nation, Margaret Brennan also took her whacks at Sen. Thune, and also is now concerned about how much things are going to cost. In this case, her concerns deal with the cost of deporting illegal aliens. 



Note that nowhere in here does Brennan do a cost analysis for what costs have already been incurred, and are continuing to be paid, to process, house, feed, deal with the criminal element and its repercussions, and absorb the legal proceeding costs of 15 million people already here without permission on Joe Biden's watch. Nope. Margaret's baseline is current day, with all of the existing new costs of illegals built in. She doesn't want to spend a dollar more to have to deport them. It's such a specious argument. 

Fortunately, help is on the way, especially on the immigration front. Here's Tom Homan taking on Brennan.



Your feel good clip from the weekend comes from Nikki Glaser, who hosted the ponderous Golden Globes from the Beverly Hilton hotel. Her entire 10-minute monologue was a tour de force, reminiscent of Ricky Gervais' 2020 opening that roasted everyone in the room. But this little clip was especially delicious. 

 

That's the best part of the 2024 Election, truth be told. $1.8 billion was spent by Democrats on a losing effort. Regime media, at least in the "news" divisions, sacrificed what little credibility they once had. No one will ever take George Stephanopoulos, Linsey Davis, David Muir, Margaret Brennan, Kristen Welker, Jonathan Karl, Jake Tapper, Dana Bash, or Norah O'Donnell seriously again. It's doubtful that in four years, one of the alphabet networks even gets to stage a debate. Celebrities from Robert De Niro to Taylor Swift, from J-Lo to Beyonce, Lebron James to Lady Gaga, did their level best to use whatever sway they had to swing the election in Kamala Harris' favor. They tried every way imaginable to make Kamala a likeable figure. But just like bad scripts make bad movies, bad candidates make bad campaigns. And nothing, including celebrity star power, can compensate for what ailed the Harris/Walz campaign. 

Donald Trump and the Republicans in Congress still need to produce results, and they need to do it relatively soon, which will be nothing short of miraculous if they hang together and make the progress that was promised. But if they can coalesce around the basics of the Trump agenda, the collapse of the left will be nearly complete. And it will be glorious.
