I waffle back and forth.
I know that's probably something you wouldn't normally associate with me, but it's true.
What I can't settle on is if we're being royally played, like a supersized joke or something.
Or if this current crop of Democratic Party luminaries, across the length and breadth of the entire miserable organization, is truly as divorced from reality, incompetent, narcissistic, vacuous, mendacious, and of such uniformly overweening intellectual mediocrity that it's as if God himself herded them all together in one place so that we could easily avoid them.
Oh, don't you know I am leaning so heavily toward divine intervention at this point.
How else to explain 'serious' contenders to lead major states who look and act like this?

And now supposedly panicked by the thought of being left behind by former Fox News show host and British import Steve Hilton.
I honestly don't think the math in this equation is that hard.
The ones making the rounds with presidential aspirations are similarly uninspiring, and in many cases, downright alarming when they're not being flat-out anti-American. Take, for instance, that same slickster from California when he was at Davos.
You know, yukking it up with the Germans about Nazis...
Gavin Newsom compares American law enforcement to Nazis while he was speaking in Germany.

That, on its own, should disqualify him from ever being president. pic.twitter.com/xDzq3SQnv5

Billionaire J.B. Pritzker, who, like vile toad Katie Porter, is finding out GLP-1 assisted less of you doesn't equate to anyone wanting more of you, is busy telling everyone in his state of Illinois that Trump owes them two grand a piece for his 'illegal' tariffs.
Gover Pritzker of Illinois has sent President Donald Trump an invoice of $8.6 billion, per Reuters.

The porculent executive is hoping no one remembers the $2.5 BILLION (and counting) he's spent keeping illegal aliens comfy on Illinois taxpayer dimes.
No word on that refund.
Pritzker says Trump owes us $2K per household.
— Jen (@IlliniJen) February 21, 2026
Illinoisans are out $2.5B+ on spending for illegal aliens.
Where’s our refund? https://t.co/nlGbUifVOW pic.twitter.com/fThgdtDROT
He's also in some serious hot water, not only for taxes, onerous regulations, and criminals running the streets thanks to his sentencing reforms, but for probably the most unforgivable sin of all - allowing DA Bears to decamp to Indiana.
Illinois governor JB Pritzker said today, “There is a limit to what the Illinois taxpayers are willing to spend”, referring to the Chicago Bears, leaving Illinois for Hammond, Indiana.

Illinois is projected to have spent over $2.5 billion on migrant care from 2021 - 2025.
There… pic.twitter.com/6KXgyA3TJ9
Yeah. About that refund...
Pritzker didn't hitch his bulky wagon to the parade of potential presidential candidates that floated over to the Munich Security Conference last week, though.
Kind of funny how all the ones who did are so worried about carbon and greenhouse gases, but couldn't wait to hop a plane to show off their hard earned foreign policy chops.
The Michigan lady with the Dorito cheese-covered iron fist and plastic forehead took her shot.
She flubbed it.
Her expression was as frozen as the skin from temple to temple on her face.

Randall Flagg-Lite was there, earnestly working his oozy charm to convince everyone that California was a 'stable' place to do business, and the rock-solid Trump team, also speaking in Munich to such international acclaim, was a 'temporary' aberration.
Newsom implied he was the future, and California's fine shape was the proof.
🚨 Why is Gavin Newsom in Munich yet again?

While Californians struggle with soaring crime, rampant homelessness, and collapsing public trust, he’s overseas on taxpayer-funded trips lecturing about national politics and dismissing the current president as “temporary.”… pic.twitter.com/IKTSZA6tn0
But the hat tips for crème de la crème of the lackluster, mediocre Democrat debutantes to make their world debuts on the serious foreign policy Munich stage had to be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's monumental implosion during a simple question-and-answer session.
No one expected William Buckley, or even Maxine Waters.
What they got was an excruciating dope on a rope as she hung herself out to dry.
A landed largemouth bass has more to say than AOC's interminable 27 seconds of agonizing mouth contortions.
Kind of like Father Cornelius with 'It's a...it's a...' the digital timer on the door. Only Cornelius knew it was a bomb.Watch AOC's awkward word salad as she struggles to answer question on US defending Taiwan https://t.co/CNiPHuMsEW pic.twitter.com/nVMbcEmz9x

AOC isn't smart enough to know she'd bombed. And she kept rolling.
Getting an education in the history of wealth taxes and their effect...
AOC in Munich giggles excitedly when asked if she will impose a wealth tax as president. Moments later, her ignorance is exposed by Argentinian politician Daiana Fernández Molero, who has actually seen the destruction caused by a wealth tax. pic.twitter.com/FQn6iEtxTC

...and showing the world why Puerto Rico isn't known for its cowboys.
When asked how she'd fare up against J.D. Vance, the ever-confident AOC declared, she would 'stomp him.'
“Do you think you could beat JD Vance in a head to head race for President?”
— Heatherheather007 (@LibertyValkyrie) February 20, 2026
AOC: “I would stomp him…I would stomp him!”
The woman just gaffed almost as hard as Joe Biden in Munich…and gave a bigger word salad than Kamala.
What dysfunctional reality do they live in?! pic.twitter.com/mC5cyQ9qPX
I'm not sure what happened or who talked to her that she listened to, but a defensive AOC has emerged online, near tears, and offering an explanation for her dismal performance.
In keeping with the entire cadre of malodorous Democratic wannabes who made the pilgrimage and failed so miserably on a world stage, you can imagine what she had to say.
TRUMP AND YOU
Doesn't that give the game away?
I, well, feel sort of bad...now...that's she's REALLY that...stupid. https://t.co/NQNQDZ488W

Can you imagine?
In the comments, we all laughed the other day at the thought of AOC as president being confused at the fight over using the British bases for any action against Iran. At the time, I said I thought she probably already thought Diego Garcia was a Latin singer.
I may have underestimated the depth of her denseness.
With a cartel war exploding in Puerto Vallarta right now, too, she'd probably be calling for Diego Garcia's head.
Cartel leaders are bad.
