Yes, the weekend is finally here. Does it feel like a century since the Super Bowl and Bad Bunny’s carnival of crotch-grabbing and “dry-humping”? Muy malo.
Speaking of very bad, the week in politics was filled with a parade of awful. From Chuck Schumer’s race-baiting false equivalencies to Lisa Murkowski being, well, Lisa Murkowski, it was a great week for bad people.
Here are the Worst of the Worst from the week that was.
Chuck ‘Jim Crow 2.0’ Schumer
Did you know that asking people to present identification before they vote is like making some voters drink out of separate water fountains and attend segregated schools? Well, at least it is to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and his band of insane Democrats who went about this week painting the SAVE America Act as “Jim Crow 2.0.” Yes, the people who have accused anyone who doesn’t agree with them of being a racist — or a Nazi — are comparing a bill that requires proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote to a “modern-day poll tax.”
Bad news for the Chuckster. The vast majority of Americans don’t agree with him and his election-integrity deniers. Polls routinely show voter ID is an 80/20 issue in America, including a robust majority of Democrats who back it. Must be racists. Well, it was the Democrat Party that gave America Jim Crow laws.
The unhinged left has some pretty powerful allies among the RINO right. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, of course, is already on record opposing the SAVE America Act and its predecessor voter verification bill. Murkowski believes her own press releases, that she’s being a “principled” member of the U.S. Senate. She’s just another congressional Democrat in “moderate” clothing. Alaska is our biggest state, led by perhaps the worst Republican Senator in the country.
‘Money and Power’ Mitch
But Murkowski has some stiff competition. Sen. Mitch McConnell, driven by his loathing of President Donald Trump and his love of the military-industrial complex, seems to be doing all he can to kill the election-integrity bill. As Federalist CEO Sean Davis put it, the Kentucky Republican’s “heel turn on election security is worse than spite. It’s about money and power.”

It’s about money and power.Trump blew up the system, and especially the foreign policy, that allowed McConnell and his idiot staffers and all their lobbyist friends to get rich.

Andy Beshear’s Trans Gospel
McConnell’s fellow Kentuckian Andy Beshear likes to ask himself, what Jesus do? Jesus, according to the far-left Kentucky governor, would be down with so-called “sex changes” for children. In 2023, Beshear vetoed a bill that “protected women’s restrooms and shielded kids from ideology-driven medical procedures,” as The Federalist’s Joshua Monnington noted this week.
The governor likes to invoke the New Testament when he’s attempting to kill such protections, particularly “that parable of the Good Samaritan that says everyone is our neighbor.” He takes that parable to mean that our neighbors who want to mutilate the genitals of children should be celebrated, not sanctioned. “Suffer the little children” takes on a whole different meaning in Beshear’s gospel.
Our neighbor from India, Rep. Shri Thanedar, wouldn’t be so neighborly to Trump administration officials should Democrats seize power. At a committee meeting this week, the India-born congressman from Michigan threatened to prosecute Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott when President Donald Trump is out of office.
“You better hope you get pardoned because you will be held accountable for the absolute disregard of the law your agencies have shown over the past year,” Thanedar declared, clearly showing that English is indeed his second language.
As The Federalist’s Brianna Lyman wrote, the irony of a congressman accusing federal immigration agents of “disregarding” the law because they arrest people who have disregarded the law is rich. It also underscores that Democrats are quite fond of politically weaponizing justice against their political enemies, and they will enthusiastically do so again once they’re back in power.
Eric Swalwell’s Lie-Ridden Anti-ICE Lecture
Now comes Rep. Eric Swalwell. The California Democrat stayed faithful to his hypocritical oath this week when he imperiously lectured Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons on immigration enforcement. Swalwell parroted the false narrative that officers “grabbed” a 5-year-old boy and used him as “bait, forcing him to knock on his own door so they could arrest his father.” Some lackey stood behind Swalwell with a blown-up photo of the boy as the bloviator repeated the lie and smugly asked Lyons if he would resign.
“No, sir, I won’t,” Lyons said.
“Why not?” Swalwell queried.
“Because that child that you’re showing right there, the men and women of ICE took care of him when his father abandoned him and ran from law enforcement,” Lyons said.
It’s not clear whether the congressman’s Communist China overlords were pleased with his performance.
AOC on Foreign Policy (Yes, I Laughed, Too)
On the insufferable front, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wanted everyone to know that she gets to go to the U.S.-European security conference in Munich, and she’s going to, like, crush it, girl boss-style. The bobblehead representing one of the most leftist stretches in blue state New York actually spoke (unfortunately) on two panels at the event — again proving to the world in real time that U.S. academic achievement has plummeted over the last few generations.
In advance of her conference appearance AOC’s “foreign policy adviser” told NBC News she would use the platform to offer a “’working class perspective” on the intersection of domestic and foreign policy.” Unsurprisingly, she ended up taking shots at Trump, fumbling through Kamala-style word salads, railing against the “scourges of authoritarianism,” and cackling about taxing the rich. The Westchester County girl (notwithstanding AOC’s “Bronx Girl” facade) and Green New Deal warrior also dropped a huge carbon footprint on her jet ride to Germany.
Maybe AOC will bump into U.S. Olympic skier Breezy Johnson while hobnobbing with the European jet set. Pardon me, “Bisexual” Olympic skier Breezy Johnson. Those are apparently Breezy’s preferred pronouns. While competing in the Winter Games, she felt it necessary to tell the world which ways she swings. What do sexual proclivities have to do with the Olympics? Nothing. But politics doesn’t either, yet that hasn’t stopped curlers and freestyle skiers from sharing their political opinions. Sometimes unsolicited.
As a freshly minted “bi-person,” “bisexual” Breezy says it’s important everyone gets the 411 on her sexual identity because “they deserve to know that the world of champions is not just comprised of straight white people.” None of us deserves that. No one asked for that. But “bi-person” Breezy had to use her world platform to brag about her “bisexuality.”
