Toughest Stretches Of Golden Knights’ 2025-26 Schedule

Speaking of tough stretches, the DeM party is in a severe rut right now. Scrambling for any connection to Americans, common sense, decency, or reasonable talking point.

Like a ventriloquist who suddenly loses control of his dummy, the Democratic Party is discovering that their carefully crafted public image can shatter in an instant. For years, party leaders have mastered the art of speaking in coded language, using euphemisms to disguise their more radical ambitions. But what happens when one of their own decides to say the quiet parts out loud?

The answer is panic—and trust me, I’ve watched this playbook before. Nowhere is that more evident than in the frantic efforts by Democratic leadership to distance themselves from a rising star who represents everything they actually believe but would never dare admit publicly. The problem isn’t that this figure is an outlier; the problem is that he’s exactly what the modern Democratic Party has become.

Enter Zohran Mamdani, the New York City mayoral candidate whose unapologetically radical positions have sent his own party into damage control mode. Here’s someone who openly advocates for abolishing private property, refuses to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, and won’t condemn “globalize the intifada.” In other words, he’s speaking the language that progressive activists use behind closed doors—just without the usual political sugar-coating.

The Democratic establishment’s response? Swift and telling. Rep. Adam Smith of Washington took to Fox News Sunday in what can only be described as desperate damage control:

From Breitbart:

“Look, the mayor of New York has never, never, ever been the leader of the Democratic Party,” Smith said when asked about Mamdani. “Mamdani isn’t speaking for our party, any more than I’m speaking for our party. It’s a big tent. It’s a big coalition.”

Notice the frantic repetition of “never” and the immediate pivot to that tired “big tent” excuse? This isn’t confidence—this is panic. Smith knows exactly what Mamdani represents, and he’s terrified that the mask has finally been ripped clean off.

But Smith isn’t alone in running scared. Jewish Democrats have sounded alarms with unusual urgency. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz didn’t mince words about Mamdani’s refusal to condemn antisemitic rhetoric, calling it “callous disregard for antisemitism, terrorist activity.” Rep. Jared Moskowitz was equally direct: if Mamdani “can’t say that that’s antisemitic, then obviously he’s going to continue to add to the problem.”

Here’s what makes this moment so deliciously revealing: these aren’t Republicans attacking a Democrat. These are Democrats desperately trying to distance themselves from someone who won their own primary. They’re essentially admitting their party elevated someone whose views are so extreme that even they can’t stomach the political liability.

The truth? Mamdani isn’t an aberration—he’s the logical endpoint of where Democrats have been heading for years. The same party that embraces AOC’s redistributionist fantasies and increasingly tolerates anti-Israel rhetoric is now shocked someone took these positions to their natural conclusion. They created this ideological monster; they just didn’t expect him to speak so plainly about their shared beliefs.

What we’re witnessing isn’t a party rejecting extremism—it’s a party panicking because their extremism got exposed. They don’t object to the underlying communist, redistributionist ideology; they object to saying it out loud. The “big tent” Smith references? It’s always had room for radicals, as long as they knew the code words.

This Democratic civil war should terrify anyone who still believes the party represents mainstream American values. When your own elected officials are warning about the “dangerous” nature of your mayoral candidate, maybe it’s time to admit the party has lost its way entirely. The mask didn’t slip—it was torn off, and what’s underneath is exactly what conservatives have been warning about all along.

The Brennan Forgery
Obama’s CIA director falsify evidence showing Russiagate was a hoax, aka crossfire hurricane.

Last week, CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred former CIA Director John Brennan to the FBI for a criminal investigation. Some reports claim the referral relates to Brennan potentially having perjured himself before Congress. But on Wednesday, President Donald Trump may have pointed to another direction the FBI probe may take. In an interview with reporter John Solomon, Trump said he would declassify an annex to the May 2023 report filed by John Durham, the special counsel appointed during Trump’s first term to investigate Russiagate.

The annex, according to Solomon, deals with the “Clinton Plan intelligence”—and, says Solomon, “lawmakers and Durham have suggested it would provide damning evidence to any prosecutor.” Trump told Solomon, “I will absolutely declassify it.”

The “Clinton Plan Intelligence” refers to intelligence the CIA received in late July 2016 from a Dutch spy agency. The Dutch had penetrated a Russian intelligence agency that appears to have hacked the emails of Clinton allies and Democratic officials. And it was from these communications that the Russians learned the Clinton campaign had devised a plan to smear Trump as a Russian agent to deflect attention from her use of a private email server.

According to Durham’s final report in May 2023, the U.S. intelligence official “who initially received the information immediately recognized its importance—including its relevance to the U.S. presidential election—and acted quickly to make CIA leadership aware of it.” Brennan himself, the report shows, “personally received a copy of the intelligence.”

Investigators may be pursuing relates to Brennan’s notes about his Aug. 3 briefing at the White House.

According to Brennan’s handwritten notes, in an Aug. 3, 2016, meeting at the White House, he briefed Barack Obama and other U.S. officials, including then Attorney General Loretta Lynch and then FBI Director James Comey, about the Clinton Plan intelligence. The notes claim that he alerted them to the “alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on July 26 of a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security services.”

Ratcliffe declassified Brennan’s notes in late September 2020, when Ratcliffe was Trump’s director of national intelligence. He also declassified a second Clinton Plan intelligence document that Durham found during his investigation. This was a CIA memo dated Sept. 7, 2016, addressed to Comey and FBI agent Peter Strzok, that referred the Clinton Plan intelligence for further investigative action.
