The election of Trump is a magnificent gift. It’s a victory for grass roots over the corporate socialist-fascist monstrosity our nation has become. It’s a tribute to our founders, who gave us not a “democracy” but a republic, where even a corrupt, connected elite cannot totally override the rights of individuals, at least not totally, not all the time.
Trump’s victory was in no way thanks to the established media, the rotten universities, the wokester corporations now changing their tune, nor the psychopaths running much of today’s Democrat Party. The election of Trump happened in spite of overwhelming odds against him. It happened because of reasonable people who may differ on a number of matters, but who were united in their love of liberty and some remaining shred of truth and rationality in a culture gone berserk.
The people who run and influence 90 percent of what happens in our society were rendered impotent and irrelevant by Trump’s impossible victory two months ago. Despite the Empire striking back from 2020 onward, they still did not prevail. The Empire struck back — and still lost. It’s a truly beautiful thing.

On Friday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow discussed Los Angeles’ leadership during the fires.
Marlow said, “Karen Bass won because of all the wokesters who thought it was really important to have an actual Communist. She’s a literal card-carrying Communist.”
He further stated the problem with her opponent, Rick Caruso, was that, despite his experience as a Water Commissioner, he wasn’t an “overweight BIPOC lesbian.”
Enjoy Communism, Los Angeles! You asked for it — and I am betting you will keep asking for it.

Los Angeles residents are demanding that Mayor Karen Bass (D) be immediately recalled as fires devastate their communities.
As of Saturday morning, their Change.org petition has 59,150 verified signatures.
“We, the undersigned residents of Los Angeles and concerned citizens, urgently call for the immediate recall of Mayor Karen Bass due to her gross mismanagement and failure to effectively respond to the devastating 2025 fires in and around the city of Los Angeles,” the petition reads.
Who will they replace her with? A real Republican, with views like Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump or J.D. Vance? Or Ronald Reagan? I don’t see it. Wokeism and rabid environmentalism are the ideas that put this recklessly inept twit in office to begin with. Change your IDEAS first, California. Then you will find better people.

Jeff Bezos’s Amazon is the latest mega company to claim it is scaling back some of its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives after such programs began garnering backlash for being ineffective and “woke.” [Breitbart]
It’s simple. When you elevate qualities like race and gender above competence, you kill competence. And, in the process, you convey the message to the people you claim you want to help: “You couldn’t achieve this without the favoritism.” It’s so hateful, destructive, anti-business, anti-American and anti-human, there are hardly words to convey how horrible DEI truly is.
