Evan Barker believed she was a lifelong Democrat. Born into a Kansas City union family, she campaigned for Barack Obama while still in high school and was a community organizer for Hillary Clinton in 2015. Working for the consultancy Left Rising, she writes, “I built my name as a ruthless fundraiser … I was a live player who helped progressive insurgents” — including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Cori Bush and Jasmine Crockett — “infiltrate from within.” But her new book, “Nothing Left” (Threshold Editions), out today, gives a look at how Barker lost faith in her party — and, in 2024, voted for Donald Trump. In this exclusive excerpt, she reveals one of the moments that showed her how Democrats shamelessly left heartland voters in the dust.

Lt. Gov. Sylvia Luke, a Democrat, was indicted by an Oahu grand jury on Friday on charges of criminal conspiracy to commit bribery, bribery, and falsifying candidate committee reports. The charges stem from an alleged 2022 scheme, dating to her time as a powerful state lawmaker, to steer state money toward COVID-19 testing contracts during the pandemic. Hawaii News Now reported that legal experts are calling it the biggest bribery scandal in state history.

Luke was one of five people named in the 12-count indictment. The others: Ryan Yamane, a former state representative and ex-director of the Department of Human Services; Tobi Solidum, a businessman and lobbyist; Ford Fuchigami, a Transportation Department official; and Leo Asuncion, a former chair of the state Public Utilities Commission. Luke turned herself in Friday afternoon; her bail was set at $80,000.

Gov. Josh Green did not wait for the case to develop. “The Lieutenant Governor needs to consider formally resigning to address this matter and so that the state of Hawai?i can move forward,” Green said in a statement Friday.

Get ready for the Kamala comeback, followed, in all likelihood, by a replay of her crushing defeat by the Republican nominee.

Lifelong New Yorker and real estate investor Charles Kushner is fleeing NYC for Florida because of, he says, Mayor Zohran Mamdani and First Lady Rama Duwaji’s antisemitism.

“I don’t want to pay taxes and live in a city with a blatantly antisemitic mayor and his antisemitic wife, period,” Kushner told The Post. “I also don’t want to live in the city with the people who voted for him.”

Kushner said his decision was driven less by Mamdani’s socialist policies than by what he described as the mayor’s hostility toward Jews and Israel — pointing to Mamdani’s refusal to march in the Israel Day Parade, his call to have Benjamin Netanyahu arrested as a war criminal, his outreach to Columbia University protesters who celebrated Hamas and Duwaji seeming to celebrate the horrific attacks on October 7.

The Pacific Research Institute released a study this week breaking down how taxpayers are paying for “a program that has grown beyond the state’s ability to effectively manage it.”

The findings come as the Trump administration announced on July 21 that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is pausing over $860 million in funding to California after federal officials discovered in-home supportive services claims that significantly exceeded national trends.

Sally Pipes, the institute’s president, told the Daily Signal that rooting out fraud should be lawmakers’ top priority.

“If lawmakers could make only one thing happen this year, it should be eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse from Medi-Cal, which now covers 15 million Californians at a cost of $220 billion. The entire state budget for fiscal 2026-27 is $351.7 billion,” she said.

Congress doesn’t. Democrats in Congress do. The existence of tax-sheltered retirement accounts has been a running sore with the Democrat looters from day one.

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass., rolled out the Retirement Fairness for Working Americans Act this week, and the name alone tells you how Washington sells a bad idea. There is nothing fair about capping retirement accounts and forcing selloffs on people who did exactly what the tax code told them to do for 30 years. Fairness does not shrink the pot. This bill does.

I have spent three decades building investment strategies for single-family offices, running a hedge fund, and structuring private credit deals, and I serve as a designated expert witness on fiduciary duty in federal and state courts. I know the difference between closing a genuine loophole and moving the goalposts on savers who followed the rules Congress wrote. This bill is the second thing dressed up as the first.

The legislation, in both its House and Senate versions, targets anyone with more than $10 million combined across IRAs and defined contribution plans, barring further contributions and forcing a 50% annual drawdown on the excess, once income tops $400,000 for individuals or $450,000 for couples.

To justify this, Wyden and Neal point to Peter Thiel, whose Roth IRA grew into a multi-billion-dollar account after he placed early PayPal founder shares into it decades ago.

Democrats are in the midst of a fun and terrifying transformation. Hating Trump is no longer sufficient to win elections in blue states. Democratic primary voters—specifically the party’s core constituency of college-educated white professionals—are demanding candidates who also hate Israel and capitalism. The 2028 presidential race is going to be an absolute clown show.

The least surprising aspect of the Democratic Party’s lurch toward left-wing radicalism is the pampered, privileged backgrounds of the politicians, donors, and operatives leading the charge.

Cohen’s remarks come after the Democratic Party has begun to drift apart over its members’ stances on Israel, where some members have recently taken the side of America’s Islamic enemies, such as Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah.

A 2026 Pew Research Center survey found that 44% of American Muslims support Hamas, Iran’s funded terror proxy responsible for the mass rape, kidnapping, and slaughter of Israeli civilians.

Pew Research noted that around 66% of American Muslims vote Democrat.

City Journal.

Just days after Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a major U.S. policy to “dismantle” the International Criminal Court because it threatened American sovereignty, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani mused about the possibility of arresting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the basis of an ICC warrant.

This has become an ongoing theme for Mamdani—making vague claims about international law as an excuse to ignore domestic laws. When protesters gathered outside Park East Synagogue in New York in May, he condemned the Jews inside, not the violent mob outside. The synagogue was hosting a real-estate fair for properties in Israel.

“Mayor Mamdani is deeply opposed to the real estate expo this evening that includes the promotion of the sale of land in settlements in the Occupied West Bank,” his office said. “These settlements are illegal under international law.”

That made the second time in a week that the mayor had opined on a public international law issue. On social media, he had denounced as “a brazen violation of international law” Israel’s boarding of a flotilla of vessels seeking to run a blockade to resupply Hamas-controlled Gaza.

…

Foreign policy is an exclusively federal domain, but Mamdani regularly invoked international law even when he was only an assemblyman. As a mayoral candidate, he expressed support for boycotts and sanctions against Israel as a way of “creating compliance in international law.” As mayor-elect, he made his first threats to arrest Netanyahu because of ICC warrants against him. This was needed, he said, to make New York a “city of international law.” Of course, the United States is not a member of the ICC, having refused to join under both Republican and Democratic administrations because of the institution’s clear bias. ICC warrants are thus meaningless in America, and arresting Netanyahu would be a naked violation of a foreign head of state’s immunity. In short, Mamdani’s threats would be breaking international law, not enforcing it.

Oh, the cleats Trump will be wearing when he jumps in Mamdani’s shit if the socialist tries to pull something.

I kinda hope he does….

Despite multiple losses at the U.S. Supreme Court, Colorado continues to try to force an LGBTQ agenda on residents, and it costs taxpayers a great deal.

“There’s just double down after double down after double down,” Jonathan Scruggs, senior counsel and vice president of litigation strategy at Alliance Defending Freedom, told the Daily Signal in an interview Wednesday. “Even if that means losing in court, even if that means paying large amounts of attorney’s fees, that seems to be a lesser priority than targeting certain people, targeting certain beliefs.”

Sources within the Democratic Party admitted that they have completely lost count of Jim Crow, with fierce disagreement over which iteration is which.

“No way. This is at least Jim Crow 8.0,” said Senator Chuck Schumer. “First, the original Jim Crow was black Americans being violently segregated from whites-only places and denied voting rights. Then, there was that Georgia law that allowed more early voting. That was Jim Crow 2.0, which was so much worse than the original. Jim Crow 3.0 was when the court said Harvard had to let Asians in, and 4.0 was…. oh shoot, what was Jim Crow 4.0? Was that what Hakeem called my 4th of July cookout? I can’t remember.”

Democrats were hoping to work out the answer as they sharpen their attacks on the despicable racism of the SAVE Act, which would require citizens to show photo identification to vote. “Asking for photo ID is far worse than the lynchings of the original Jim Crow,” explained Senator Amy Klobuchar. “It’s at least seven or eight times worse. We’re not exactly sure, but we must stop this law or every black American will die.”

It’s a head-scratcher and no mistake.

Democrat Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar is seeking to amend the National Defense Authorization Act to potentially block the Trump administration from using military force against congressionally designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations, such as foreign drug cartels.

A press release from Omar’s office claims her amendment, Amendment #1273, “expresses the sense of Congress that designation of a foreign terrorist organization does not constitute an authorization for the use of military force.”

While Omar’s office did not respond to the Daily Signal’s request for comment and offered no public explanation of why she introduced the amendment, Matt O’Brien, Federation of American Immigration Reform deputy executive director and former immigration judge, told the Daily Signal that he believes the representative “is clearly seeking to curtail any legal authorities that permit the president to control the borders and prohibit foreign national security and public safety threats from entering the United States.”

There are over 70 congressionally designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations. This differs from terrorist organizations designated by the executive branch through an executive order because Congress has to introduce and pass a resolution to reaffirm the executive branch’s designation.

The marriage of Islam and Our Democracy™ was on display in the recent demise of the Platner Senate campaign. Abuse of infidel (non-socialist) women was OK because they have no standing to complain. Similarly, anti-semitism and even a Nazi tattoo were OK with the bulk of Islamo-Communist voters in the party. But rape of one of their own women without proper ownership papers turned out to be haram. The party’s religious/ideological authorities will now appoint a new candidate.

The delightful comedy Tropic Thunder (2998) was accused of non-PC insensitivity for a funny exchange in which one actor tells another that it is OK to play a mentally challenged character so long as the character has some residual or special abilities but “you never go full retard.” Attempting to mix the world’s two least successful economic systems (Islam and Marxism) into a governing strategy is going full retard.

Islam is not an economic success story. Even without a review of history, the tens of millions of Muslims currently seeking refuge in successful, superior countries versus the complete absence of American, Canadian, Latin American, European, Australian or Japanese people clamoring to cross the borders into Islamic countries is irrefutable evidence of that economic reality.

Robert Spencer has observed that the Islamic model of economics has always been heavily dependent on the exploitation of non-Muslims and when the expansion by conquests ceased, stagnation was inevitable. The once near-invincible and opulent Ottoman Empire became a comparatively poor, empty shell (and not because of European aggression as Islamic apologists claim). Qatar has been called a modern slave state funded by infidel petrodollars, a virtual substitute for jiziya. Saudi Arabia is owned and run by maybe 5,000 families. Investment in the growth of an innovative, egalitarian Muslim middle class is not a cultural priority.

Californians will have to pay for two new taxes next year after Gov. Gavin Newsom approved the state budget in June in what the California Taxpayers Association described as “the largest tax increase in state history.”

Newsom and Democratic lawmakers agreed on proposals that would raise health insurance premiums and slap a new charge on software downloads in an effort to make up federal revenue loss from an antagonistic Trump administration, Democrats said.

Because, as we all know, California has an inalienable right to get money from the Federal government—and the Federal taxpayers.

One measure would extend a tax on health care providers to potentially generate roughly $2 billion a year to help fund Medi-Cal.

How can we pay for better health care? I know—we’ll raise taxes on health care providers! What could possibly go wrong? Well, health care providers will (a) raise their prices and (b) join the billionaires fleeing the state. That estimated $2 billion a year, as will all government estimates of future tax revenue, assumes that people will just stand there waiting to be fleeced and take no action to avoid and mitigate the tax. As with all government estimates of future tax revenue, it will turn out to have been grossly inflated.

There is a real American man named Jackson Hinkle who visited Iran this week to tell American patriots to “pay their respects” to the deceased Islamic theocrat who ruled Iran with an iron fist.

Born in 1999 in San Clemente, California, Hinkle got involved with the “Bernie Bros” out of high school and went full-bore into politics. He was endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America during his 2019 bid for city council in San Clemente (which failed).

He launched a YouTube show in 2020 that reached 300,000 subscribers. A self-described “American conservative Marxist-Leninist,” he pivoted from climate activism to pro-Russia, anti-Israel propaganda, with more or less success than peers like Greta Thunberg.

In 2024, Hinkle co-founded the American Communist Party, breaking with the century-old Communist Party USA, which he saw as too weak.

In 2025, he went and lived in Russia (he’s a commie, so duh).

There has never been any doubt in my mind that if Graham Platner starts looking like a loser, the Democrats will dump their “working class” nominee. His standing in polls has been steadily sinking – and who knows what’s going on in the internal polls, but it’s probably not good. They have until July 13th to replace him if he drops out, and if things are looking grim they’ll make sure he drops out by that time.

Now there is a new allegation about sexual assault in 2021, from a woman he used to date. In a way, I wish they’d held it back until after the 13th, but I think it came out now due to pressure from Democrats rather than Republicans. For the moment, Platner seems to be mulling it over. Maybe it’s a case of finding out what the Democrat powers-that-be will be offering him to leave the race.

Early in my career, I managed money for a federal judge. She couldn’t hold a single stock. No individual securities, no sector bets, no company-specific exposure of any kind. Any ruling touching a publicly traded company had to be beyond reproach. The appearance of a conflict was enough. She accepted that as a condition of public service.

Members of Congress don’t.

They write laws governing entire industries, receive classified briefings about policy decisions before they’re public, and sit on committees with direct oversight authority over the sectors they’re trading. Most of them keep trading. This is a structural feature of an ethics framework designed by the people it was supposed to constrain.

California’s richest residents are opening their checkbooks to kill a wealth tax before voters can weigh in, with Google co-founder Sergey Brin alone pouring $82 million into the opposition and a small circle of tech billionaires driving the total anti-tax haul past $118 million ahead of the Nov. 3 ballot.

The measure, a one-time tax of up to 5% on the net worth of California residents worth more than $1 billion, became eligible for the November ballot on June 17 after Secretary of State Shirley Weber announced its signature count had cleared the state’s random-sample threshold.

A last-minute offer from sponsor SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West to drop the initiative in exchange for a legislative 2% version was rejected by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, and negotiations collapsed before the June 25 withdrawal deadline.

Under the initiative, 90% of revenue would flow to Medi-Cal and other healthcare programs, with 10% split between food assistance and public education. The tax would apply to anyone who was a California resident as of Jan. 1.
