Check Out the Hilarious Whiplash As Dems Flip-Flop on Bodycams When They Realize There's a Problem

Remember how it was only about a week ago that the Democrats were losing their minds over the DHS part of the funding bill? 

One of the things they wanted was to have bodycams on ICE agents. It was the only one of the ideas that made any sense and wasn't ridiculous. So the DHS immediately went along with it. 

Listen to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) saying how important those bodycams are, while attacking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

But once the DHS said they were going to immediately start using them, then that's when suddenly the Democrats realized there was a problem. That was too much transparency, according to Politico.

A push to put body cameras on all ICE agents has Democrats running headlong into a new problem: fear that the technology will provide another avenue for mass surveillance of protesters.

Congressional Democratic leaders have made universal use of body cameras one of their prime demands for imposing accountability on Immigration and Customs Enforcement, especially after federal agents fatally shot two American citizens in Minneapolis. But after an outcry from privacy advocates that surveillance tools will allow ICE agents to identify and track protesters, Democrats are also calling for restrictions on how the body cameras can be used.

Lawmakers and legal observers have accused ICE of leveraging a variety of cameras to surveil protesters, feeding pictures into license plate readers and facial recognition systems. Democrats now worry that the body cameras they’re demanding could be used for similar purposes.

Well, you were just demanding them, now you're complaining that it's "mass surveillance." 

Translation? The body cams aren't going to help their narrative of the "mostly peaceful protesters." They're going to show just how much these folks have been harassing and attacking ICE and other federal agents. 

It's because we have the ICE agent's video in the Renee Good case that we can see from his point of view what he had to deal with. Even with that, the Left is still trying to spin it. If we hadn't had that, though, they would have had much more ability to shape the narrative how they wanted. 

Yes, Democrats, the cameras are going to result in more arrests of folks on the Left because it's going to capture what they do, and video should be used to help identify them for arrest. If they're just protesting, they have nothing to worry about; it will show that too. It's funny, it sounds like Democrats are trying to argue that it should only be used for what they think it should be used for, not for real transparency that will show what happened, warts and all. They don't want it to be used to investigate these people.

But Democrats don't really want transparency.

John Kasich Called Bad Bunny's Show a Celebration of Latino Culture. Did He Read Some of the Lyrics?

Former Ohio Governor John Kasich was one of the many people who praised Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show yesterday. There's no way Kasich had any idea who Bad Bunny is until a staffer told him.

If Kasich wants to "celebrate the wonderful Latino culture," he probably should have checked out the lyrics of what Bad Bunny was singing first.

Here's some of them, and we'll warn you, they are most definitely not safe for work:

Yikes.

It's really bad.

There is no way Kasich knew those lyrics, either.

If he sang them in English, the FCC would have had a field day.

He also doesn't understand football, either.

Right up there with the hat trick and free throw.

Kasich is literally a meme.

This is true. And this is how you know Bad Bunny's show was, well, bad. All the people who are seal-clapping about how incredible it was don't really mean it. Including Kasich.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Admits to 30% Reduction in Homicides After Trump Intervention

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson

Far-left Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) became a contortionist when asked about violence in his city, wiggling every way he could to deflect from the positive impact of President Trump’s actions to lower crime.

But try as he might, the mayor reluctantly admitted that there has been a 30% reduction in homicides.

Johnson appeared on MSNow’s ‘The Weekend’ and was asked, “That has been replicated in other big cities. Is the President right to say that it was his actions in Chicago, bringing federal agents to Chicago that made Chicago safer?”

He replied, “He is not. I mean, this President continues to exacerbate instability across our country. In fact, where ICE and federal agents were present, we actually saw an increase in violence. In other words, the tension and the chaos that federal agents bring to cities in America, it actually is counterproductive.”

“So yes, we saw a 30% reduction in homicides, shootings, shooting victims all down.  In fact, the city of Chicago doubled the amount of the national average in terms of violence reduction.”

“Because in my role as mayor, it’s about showing up for working people. We’ve revamped the Detective’s Bureau to bring closure and accountability in the city of Chicago, 71% clearance rate. We’re solving crime.”

Johnson then tried to pretend other things are stopping crime, “We’re building more affordable homes. I’ve reopened mental health clinics, expanded mental health care, investing in our young people. Over 31,000 young people had summer jobs because we know that policing alone is not going to save.”

So, housing and summer jobs reduced crime, but removing violent criminal aliens is “chaos?”

Watch:

Last week, President Trump spoke with Dan Bongino about how much easier it is to work with red states vs. blue states and noted that crime overall is down in Chicago by 25%.

In December, Trump announced the withdrawal of the National Guard from crime-ridden cities, for now.

“We are removing the National Guard from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland, despite the fact that CRIME has been greatly reduced by having these great Patriots in those cities, and ONLY by that fact. Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago were GONE if it weren’t for the Federal Government stepping in.”

“We will come back, perhaps in a much different and stronger form, when crime begins to soar again – Only a question of time! It is hard to believe that these Democrat Mayors and Governors, all of whom are greatly incompetent, would want us to leave, especially considering the great progress that has been made??? President DJT”

Monday 2026-02-09--Monday Executive News Summary

Team Trump’s Obama faux pas, Benghazi conspirator extradited, more WaPo upheaval, global warming stops global warming, and more.

• Team Trump’s Obama faux pas: Someone on Team Trump posted a video on Donald Trump’s official Truth Social account that contained a brief AI-generated portrayal of Barack and Michelle Obama as apes. The clip was immediately condemned as racist by both Democrat and Republican lawmakers. South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott said he was “praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.” The main video in question detailed a voting-machine report on the 2020 election. Near the end, a two-second clip of the Obamas as apes suddenly appears, then the content returns to the original topic. Trump insisted that he did not see the whole video: “I didn’t see it. I looked at the first part. … I guess somebody didn’t, and they posted and we took it down.”

• Benghazi conspirator extradited: Nearly 14 years after a terrorist attack on a U.S. consulate in Libya left four Americans dead, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, one of the conspirators has been apprehended. Zubayr Al-Bakoush’s arrest was announced by FBI Director Kash Patel and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro on Friday. Al-Bakoush will stand trial in Washington, DC, and says he has “complete trust in the court and jury.” Attorney General Pam Bondi said that this apprehension demonstrates the long arm of the U.S. justice system: “It might not happen overnight, but it will happen. You can run, but you cannot hide.” Al-Bakoush faces counts of terrorism, murder, and arson. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.

• More WaPo upheaval: It seems Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos, who announced major changes to the paper in 2025, was not satisfied with the pace of change. Last week, 300 WaPo employees, almost a third of its total staff, were cut. The cuts eliminated the sports and international reporting departments entirely, with some aspects being folded into other departments. CEO Will Lewis was notably absent from coverage of the cuts last week, apparently because he too was being offboarded. Lewis announced his resignation on Saturday. Lewis was brought on two years ago, and at his first all-staff meeting in 2024, he announced that WaPo’s annual losses had reached $100 million. Perhaps he hoped to turn those numbers around, but if so, he ran out of time. The paper’s chief financial officer, Jeff D'Onofrio, will serve as the acting CEO for the time being.

• Virginia’s 10-1 Dem map: Virginia Democrats, who have been pushing a gerrymandered redistricting map for the commonwealth in response to redistricting in several Republican-led states, released their map last week. The new map effectively turns the state’s current 11 congressional districts, which currently favor Democrats 6-5, into a 10-1 Democrat advantage. Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L. Louise Lucas ridiculously asserted that the new map fulfills “a promise to level the playing field.” Far from ensuring a level playing field in Virginia, a state with roughly a 50% split between Republican and Democrat voters, this action is an effort to turn it into a single-party state. Thankfully, a Virginia judge has blocked the Democrats’ efforts to realize their gerrymandering dream.

• Trump admin gets immigration win in Fifth Circuit: The U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Friday that the Trump administration is correct to regard illegal immigrants as “applicants for admission” even if they crossed the border years before. As a result, the Trump administration may continue with mandatory detention for apprehended illegals. The 2-1 decision came from Reagan-appointed Judge Edith Jones and Trump-appointed Judge Kyle Duncan. Biden-appointed Judge Dana Douglas argued that her colleagues were twisting the law by suggesting “that ‘seeking admission’ is like being an ‘applicant for admission.’” Douglas further argued that the majority decision is based on a conviction that “Congress must have wanted these noncitizens detained.” This issue is likely to be escalated to the Supreme Court.

• Massie calls for Lutnick’s resignation over Epstein revelations: More revelations from the recently released Epstein documents have generated a call from Rep. Thomas Massie for Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s resignation. Massie took issue with Lutnick’s claim that he had cut off all contact with Jeffrey Epstein back in 2005, years before the financier was convicted as a sex offender. However, the documents indicate that Lutnick continued to have correspondence with Epstein through 2018. A spokesman for the Commerce Department responded, “Secretary Lutnick had limited interactions with Mr. Epstein in the presence of his wife and has never been accused of wrongdoing.” Meanwhile, Massie argued, “Howard Lutnick clearly went to the Island if we believe what’s in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein, and this was many years after Jeffrey Epstein was convicted for sexual crimes.”

• Mamdani’s warmth of collectivism: It turns out that being a nepo-baby communist activist raised in a compound in Uganda does not properly equip someone to run The Big Apple. In January, a record 80,000 calls to 311 reporting heat and hot water outages were made. Some residents report going nine or more days without hot water. Others say the heat regularly goes out in the middle of the night, leaving residents no choice but to bundle up and wait out the freezing temperatures. Mayor Zohran Mamdani can’t take all the blame, although residents do say he has failed to act. Since October 1, 2025, some 215,045 heat complaints have been made, far outstripping the 187,775 in the previous year. Former Mayor Eric Adams argued in 2023 that a flood of immigrants had already overwhelmed his city, saying, “We are past our breaking point.”

• Global warming stops global warming: A recently released report out of the University of California, Irvine, has found that climate change is breaking down nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas, faster than was previously believed. Using satellite observations, the scientists found that N₂O “is decreasing at a rate of 1.4 percent per decade,” a marked decline. These researchers have determined that climate change itself is what’s behind the significant drop in human-produced N₂O emissions. They noted that this new revelation must now be factored into climate projections. As one expert noted, this “highlights a gap in current Earth system models.” It appears that the science on climate change is far from settled.

• Trump ends Obama’s commercial fishing restriction off New England coast: President Trump strengthened the U.S. fishing industry by signing an executive order on Friday to reopen a large protected area of the Atlantic to commercial fishing. Barack Obama established the 5,000-square-mile Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument off the coast of Cape Cod to protect undersea corals and ecosystems. These heavy federal regulations burdened the fishing industry and are something commercial fishing groups have long sought to reverse. Bob Vanasse, executive director of Washington, DC-based Saving Seafood, commented, “By reopening the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts to commercial fishing, fairness, transparency, and science-based governance has been restored to the affected fisheries.” Of course, environmental groups vow to challenge the EO in court. Trump called the monument an “unfair penalty on commercial fishermen,” adding that “appropriately managed commercial fishing” would not endanger what the monument sought to protect.

So You Wanna Be a Democrat?

As a public service, then, let me educate potential Democrats on what will be necessary for them to fit in with their fellow donkeys

A firm believer in individual rights and free choice, I’ve got no problem with young people who think they might like to become card-carrying Democrats.

As a public service, then, let me educate potential Democrats on what will be necessary for them to fit in with their fellow donkeys.  The following are things you must believe in and loudly advocate for, lest your fellow Dems suddenly turn on you and visit, bearing torches and pitchforks:

Killing People

Dems just love to kill people, especially unborn babies.  Doesn’t matter how far along in gestation an unborn human is; Democrats are always ready to off him or her.  Or zem.  Whatever...

Dems are also fond of killing the elderly, as long as there’s some sort of half-assed justification: terminal disease, oppressive mental illness, or merely attending a rowdy rally on January 6.

If Democrats somehow regain power in my lifetime, I fully expect them to institute government health care and the same kind of active “assistance in dying” so popular in Canada.

Hating Whitey

These days, Democrats reduce everyone to white and non-white, a characteristic that, except for Michael Jackson, is unalterable.  And they’ve decided that in every sordid tale, the “person of color” is the victim, and whitey’s the perp.

George Floyd was a vicious career criminal, chock-full of fentanyl and violently resisting arrest, when he died while being restrained by a Caucasian cop in a Democrat-run city.

Who went to jail?  The cop doing his duty.

Who was ordained an American hero?  The black felon.

Hating Masculinity

These days, Democrats are the party that openly discriminates against men, putting absolute dumbbells like Kamala Harris, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Karen Bass in positions of power regardless of their inability to speak or write coherently, much less do their jobs.  They have ovaries and XX chromosomes, and to Dems, that’s all that matters — although it helps if they possess a certain level of skin pigmentation (see Whitey, Hating).

Allowing Men to Play Women’s Sports

If a man truly wants to appeal to Democrats, it greatly helps if he slips on a dress, shaves his chest hair, and applies makeup and mascara.  Then it’s quite acceptable for him to set NCAA women’s swimming records, stand on the podium as a ladies’ cycling champion, or beat the snot out of a female boxer in the Olympics.  Although donkeys find big, masculine men toxic, paradoxically, when it comes to athletic competition, they clearly believe that folks born with penises and testicles make better women.

Loving Criminals

I’ve circled the sun almost seventy-three times, and all while living and working in the belly of the Democrat beast: New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

And during that time, I’ve read — and become enraged by — countless stories of innocents murdered by criminals with rap sheets almost as long as the alphabet.  Democrat politicians, police chiefs, and judges are always shedding tears for the animals they refuse to properly punish, and never for their helpless victims.

Unless, of course, the donkey in charge himself becomes a crime victim, at which time, as the old joke goes, he becomes a Republican.

Hating America

Who hates America more than Democrats?  Nobody.  China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea can’t hold a candle to what Dems are doing to destroy our historically great country.  The party of donkeys teaches kids in school to judge and resent our founders, they try to kill our energy sector with Green New Deal nonsense, and they undermine our thrice — yes, thrice — elected president, calling him Hitler and his federal law enforcement heads Gestapo.

During the recent reign of pudding-brained puppet president Joe Biden, Dems purposely opened the floodgates for millions of unvetted criminals, drug-dealers, child-traffickers, mental patients, and welfare queens from all over the world.  If you were trying to rapidly take down our country, what would you do differently?

Electoral Cheating

Let’s face it: If Democrats don’t lie about what they truly believe and plan to do, why, they’d never win another election.  So, while pretending to care about the citizenry, they come up with every cockamamie scheme in the world to cheat during elections: early voting, late voting, absentee voting, cured voting, harvested voting, and my personal favorite: no-ID-required voting.

If the spineless GOP-majority Congress that President Trump is desperately trying to herd like a bunch of truculent cats in suits ever passed a law requiring photo ID to vote, the Democrat party would implode in a cloud of smoke.

When it comes to elections, donkeys just gotta cheat.

Lie, Lie, Lie

If a Democrat thought leader’s lips are moving, he’s lying.  Run for office on affordability, get elected, and immediately raise taxes.  Tell the public the vegetable Biden’s sharp as a tack, watch him totally phase out during the presidential debate, and then claim you somehow didn’t notice his abject senility.  Tell the world Trump’s a Russian stooge, accept Pulitzer Prizes for your blatant falsehoods, and cry crocodile tears when you most deservedly get laid off.

How ’bout Tampon Tim (D-Mini-Somalia)?  Telling us he’s a gun-toting soldier, an avid hunter, an accomplished football coach, and simply a man’s man, who had no idea that all the illegal aliens he warmly welcomed here were ripping off America to the tune of billions of dollars?

In order of appearance, no, nope, nein, not even close, and r-i-g-h-t!

In conclusion, if you’re young and anxious to join the political fray as a Democrat, you must be ready to

• kill people, especially unborn babies and the elderly;
• hate all white people;
• hate men, especially masculine men;
• let males dominate women in sports;
• love criminals, perverts, and evildoers generally;
• despise your country and its founding;
• cheat like hell electorally; and above all,
• lie, lie, lie!

If all that’s too much of a stretch for you, consider supporting President Trump and joining the MAGA movement.

On the other hand, if you’re fine with all the dastardly Democrat doings listed above, register as a Democrat, or, alternatively, seek intensive psychotherapy while there’s still time to save yourself.
