2025/11/21

Six Democratic veterans released a video urging troops to “refuse illegal orders” — despite the fact that no such orders are being issued. At the same time, each of them obeyed every order during the Iraq War, a conflict they now describe as unjust, mistaken, or “built on lies.” This breakdown examines that contradiction and why the message doesn’t line up with their own record in uniform.

Senator John Fetterman and Bill Maher just said what most politicians won’t: the far-left’s politics of division are creating resentment, hostility, and tribalism. In this quick breakdown, Elliot Omanson explains why group-based politics inevitably backfires — and why Fetterman’s comments are less “courage” and more basic human psychology.

Zohran Mamdani was just elected mayor of New York City — and we think it marks the culmination of everything wrong with the Democrat Party.

According to the CME FedWatch Tool, markets are currently pricing in a 72.4%
