Saturday politics
Well, let’s start with the low hanging rotten fruit – after all, she got beat. I refer, of course, to Dallas’ own Jasmine Crockett, soon to be ex-Congresscritter Crockett, and hopefully never Senator Crockett.
As could have been predicted, one of the Democrats who always used to excoriate Republicans over their claims of rigged/interfered with/fraudulent elections, is bleating about what? You got it, her election loss was rigged. Those damn white Republicans, of course. Seems basic math is not her forte – she lost by almost SEVEN percentage points. Not quite a landslide, but then, not a fraudulent “let’s tip the election our way” point or two. Even “her” supporters and people are talking about it – and not in a good way for her.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, faced criticism from members of her own party on Wednesday following her loss in the Senate primary, including one who said the progressive firebrand ran an “f—ing terrible” campaign.
“People who don’t understand politics will be upset because Jasmine was their hero,” said Democratic Texas state Rep. Jolanda Jones. “But for people who understand politics, [Crockett] literally had no ground game.”
Her campaign manager, Karrol Rimal, is still cheering:
“This was the most expensive Democratic primary ever in Texas with the overwhelming majority of those dollars being spent on attacks against the congresswoman,” Rimal told Politico. “Despite being outspent, she held our own and excited an untapped base of support for Democrats with record numbers of first-time primary voters. There was also the intentional voter suppression of voters in Dallas and Williamson counties. That can not be ignored.” Fox News
I like that ” an untapped base of support for Democrats” – does that mean the recently deceased? (Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice ! Beemphmph! (apologies to Tim Burton. Besides, that should have been directed at Lauren Boebert.)
A similar view came from the Dem’s own James Carville, who had this to say about Ilhan Omar:
“Lady, why don’t you just get out of the Democratic Party,” Carville said about Omar in the May 2025 video from his Politics War Room podcast. “Honestly, start your own movement.”
Lawmakers like Omar, he added, are “more trouble than they’re worth.”
I met her one time and first of off, she’s a very, attractive, soft-spoken lady. I have a lot of friends in in Minneapolis and people think, a lot of people think well of her, but she started attacking white males and I’m gonna say, wait a minute, let’s stop. Alright. In 2024, 72% of the people that voted were white. All right? That’s just a fact. Of that 72, probably 48% or 48 and a half, were male. So it’s somewhere around, I did the math on the thing, about 33% of the people that are gonna vote are gonna be white males. Well, it’s stupid to attack 33% of the voters.You don’t wanna start there.
Getting noted for all the wrong reasons, ladies.
Another in the news for the wrong reasons: Pam Bondi. (Hey, gotta be evenhanded.) The House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena Bondi over the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein investigation. Five Republicans voted with the Democrats to subpoena her.
This is the same committee controlled by Republicans (emphasis added – ed.), led by Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, that forced Bill and Hillary Clinton to testify behind closed doors last week.
It was a different one, the House Judiciary Committee, that took Bondi’s testimony last month in a four-hour-long televised session that was supposed to have satisfied calls, at least among Republicans, for greater transparency from President Donald Trump’s administration on the Epstein investigation. It did not. Instead, Bondi’s testimony inspired mockery on the left and even more questions from Mace and other Republicans on the right.
The consensus among lawmakers from both parties was that Bondi had been defiant, evasive and disrespectful toward the victims of Epstein’s abuse.
The vote means that Comer is required to issue the subpoena for closed-door testimony from Bondi, where she will be under oath and subject to perjury laws. Tampa Bay Times
Drag out the popcorn, maybe we’ll get to see some of the show.

Hey, what happened to Crockett’s ghetto hoodrat persona? She’s suddenly sounding like she’s the product of expensive private schools.
I heard that she was the product of expensive schools back in the day and was from a family that had a lot of “moola shmoola” as NY Guardian Angel founder Curtis Sliwa used to say on his radio program…How about karmello harris that had a different talking speach to match the neighborhood talking speach that she was making a speach in…
The attack ads against crocket were many and virulent, claiming she had republican support. Her own ads, showing a comic book style of graphics (early comic books too) was nothing but Trump bad so vote for her. I was forced to watch one or two of them since I live in TX. She had no other platform other than race and Trump evil.
Jazzy Cricket is an annoying noise.
The spice must flow.
The Epstein Window is now CLOSED. Congress voted overwhelming to protect the predators that walk the hallowed halls of The People’s House, they were silent for the 4 years of Auto-pen Regime, and all the victims cashed their checks, so lets move on. The calorie burn for something that will never be anything more than a distraction has taken enough time and resources.
I’m not inclined to countenance monsters breathing the same air as regular people. Or breathing air at all as a matter of fact.
That being said, they don’t necessarily have to go through a public humiliation process, if such a spectacle would cripple us politically. Why not a single-fatality car accident? Or drug overdose? Followed by a non-committal footnote in his obituary about “rumors about the epstein files”
It will be nice not hearing as much from that idiot croket, but telorico is probably worse than she was. And a little smarter. At least he knows when to lie!
For Texans it was a no-win election – Talerico is much more electable, which is bad. Crockett would have been a guaranteed loser, but we would had to listen to her another 7 months…
Despite Crockett’s semi ghetto persona, she attended probably the most elite girl’s school in St. Louis *Mary Institute) before switching and graduating from a prestigious Catholic school.
Jasmine Crockett is about as genuine as a Civil War uniform made of polyester!
And like her, we could spot them at 25 yards.
Crockett and the fire exit guy down, Omar, Tlaib, Schiff and Swallowswell to go.
And of course Jasmine Crockett is going to throw her ACME®️ Victim Card™️, that’s SOP for people like her, becoming “professional Victims” at will.
Dan Crenshaw was defeated. Can’t say I am really sad to see him go.
A bit too much pissing and moaning about things festered a bloating ego.
“War Hero” will only get a person so far.
I’m certain he’ll do well in the stock market. He’s got mad Pelosi trading skills.
Welp, w/ his fate SEALed and before he walks the plank, Eye Patch McCain still has defense & tech stocks to ponder over. His nemesis, Shawn Ryan, hasn’t piped up on his YouTube channel. Don’t worry for, LCDR Crenshaw, though, he’ll get on his knees for a nice payday. He’ll be fine.
I really liked him at first! Then I saw that was a swamp rat too! Sad!! Very sad!!!!
I don’t even think Johnny The wad Holmes could fill that mouth enough to shut her up.
RINO Ernie “Tony” Gonzalez, the representative who had an affair with a married woman who then committed suicide by self-immolation, has “decided” to end his run for reelection. Republican leadership was too slow to apply the pressure they finally did, IMO, but, hey…one less Democrat in the House.
(I am aware he is a “Republican,” but as Brandon Herrera has pointed out, with receipts, on both of his efforts to unseat Tony, Tony’s voting record sides with the Democrats almost entirely.)
This also means Brandon “The AK Guy” Herrera is all but guaranteed to be Trxas District 23’s new rep, which is a straight win for gun owners across the country, and excellent for anyone living on the border.
