By Ray Cardello for July 31, 2026, Season 32 / Post 33

The Democrats continue to do and say things that you would not expect from one of our major political Parties. I still think of JFK, Bill Clinton (yes, he was a power), Tip O’Neill, and the forces they were in American politics and our history. The so-called leaders of today’s Democratic Party could not carry the coffee for the old guard. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries exhibit very low leadership abilities and even lower levels of forward thinking. They also are not wise enough to realize when their own Party is under assault. Hakeem thinks that the far-left DSA candidates are just an expansion and strengthening of the Democratic brand. He has claimed for months that the Democrats have a large tent and will accept all newcomers. Hakeem should check that the tent has a post-and-rail fence around it and a watering trough for the DSA candidates who are riding a Trojan Horse into town. These newcomers are not looking to join the Democratic Party, but to obliterate it while they use its money and infrastructure to replace both incumbents of the Right and Left. The Democrats are being used and manipulated, and they are totally unaware.

Chuck Schumer continues to embarrass himself by walking around D.C. shouting, “We will beat Donald Trump, and we will defeat Susan Collins.” He has no clue how weak and feckless he appears. Donald Trump is not running, and Susan Collins will defeat any far-Left candidate Maine can throw at her. Chuck Schumer has been around long enough (heck, his eyeglass prescription was written before bifocals were introduced) that there is no way this assault on his Party should blindside a seasoned veteran. But here it is. While aimless Democrats meander in the front, a Trojan Horse full of Socialists walks into the back.

Sadly, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are unapologetically campaigning anywhere in the country for men that Warren says are her kind of guy. You think she would have taken an injury time-out after being totally embarrassed by her association and support of Graham Platner. But not this Indian Princess. She just moves on to the next teepee and collects another check for a paid, disingenuous endorsement. Bernie is like a homeless man with a private jet. You never know what part of the country he will be in today, raising his hand in unison with the newest pinko addition to his team. These people are all tools being used by Soros and others to fulfill their dream of tearing down the country that has given them so much.

A few, like Van Jones, James Carville, Bill Maher, and Rahm Emanuel, who usually sing the Democratic tune regardless of the key, are warning of the Party’s impending doom. John Fetterman, the only Democrat in Washington with the cajones to tell the truth about what is happening, is being ostracized and pushed across the aisle. It is coming down to crunch time with less than 100 days until the midterm, which has now taken on a new meaning. The midterms are usually an adjustment of power, as the Party in charge is often punished by newcomers and the pendulum swings to the other side. But in 2026, both Parties, and the country, are about to feel the wrath of a movement of treasonous punks who have no intention of working within the system to make life better for Americans. They have come to destroy it and replace it with another Socialist model that will crash and burn quickly, like the fireworks over the Mall or Mount Rushmore. Both parties have a tremendous amount of work to do to educate an ignorant populace; the Right to maintain power and sanity, and the Left to maintain its existence. Forget about a Red or Blue wave this cycle, and beware of the Pink wave gaining momentum and about to take out the tent.

“The Trojan Horse doesn’t knock. It just rolls in while the welcoming committee is still congratulating itself on how inclusive the tent is.”

“Nothing says ‘seasoned leadership’ like yelling at an election that isn’t happening while the real threat walks in the back door.”

“Forget Red Wave vs. Blue Wave. The real danger this cycle is the Pink Wave that doesn’t care which tent it flattens.”
