The Democrats' Anti-Electoral College Scheme May Be Imploding by Matt Margolis The liberal dream of circumventing the Electoral College might be crumbling faster than anyone expected. Maine, one of the 17 states that joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, is now poised to become the first state to exit the agreement—and it's sending shockwaves through the left-wing coalition that thought they'd found a clever workaround to the Constitution. Just last year, Maine opted to join the compact, which would award all participating states' electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote. But now the state is having serious second thoughts. The Maine House passed a bipartisan bill on Tuesday to withdraw from the compact, and it's headed to the state Senate. Let’s be honest—this reversal is no coincidence. The National Popular Vote compact has always had a partisan flavor, pushed hardest by Democrats who’ve long been frustrated by Electoral College outcomes they don’t like. The 2000 election was clearly a factor, and Trump’s 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton only supercharged the movement. Liberal states such as California and New York signed on, bringing the total to 209 electoral votes—still 61 short of the 270 needed to activate the compact. Heading into 2024, there were growing whispers that Trump might once again win the presidency without the popular vote, and it’s easy to imagine how that would have reignited the left’s push to ditch the Electoral College altogether. But thankfully, we’ll never have to find out—because Trump crushed Kamala Harris in both the Electoral College and the national popular vote. But Maine's experience perfectly illustrates why the compact was always a bad idea. The state joined when Democrats figured Trump could never win the popular vote again. But Trump's decisive popular vote victory in 2024 changed everything. Had the compact been in effect with current members, Trump would have carried a whopping 520 electoral votes, instead of the 312 he actually won. The irony is delicious. Democrats pushed this compact because they thought it would permanently benefit their party’s candidates. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/05/24/is-this-the-beginning-of-the-end-of-the-national-popular-vote-compact-n4940119

DOGE Has Found $14 Billion in Medicaid Fraud, Waste, and Abuse, Dr. Mehmet Oz Says by Jack Phillips Dr. Mehmet Oz, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) administrator, said his agency and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have identified at least $14 billion in fraud, waste, and abuse. “There’s about $14 billion we’ve identified with DOGE, of folks who are duly enrolled wrongly in multiple states for Medicaid,” Oz told Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” As an example, Oz said: “You live in New Jersey, but you move to Pennsylvania, and which state gets your Medicaid? Turns out both states collect money from the federal government. https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/doge-has-found-14-billion-in-medicaid-fraud-waste-and-abuse-dr-mehmet-oz-says-5863586?

Trump’s Poll Numbers Rise, Resistance 2.0 Flops Democrats and the corporate media continue to attack the President and his party, but no one is listening. by David Catron May 25, 2025 or a sense of how desperate the opponents of President Trump have become, consider the rallying cry issued by Hillary Clinton to her fellow travelers last Friday: “I want you to talk to two people — friends, neighbors, cookout attendees — about why Trump’s proposed budget would be a disaster for American kids.” Now, imagine yourself sitting down to enjoy a hotdog and a beer in the warm spring weather only to be accosted by your progressive brother-in-law who insists on boring the bejabbers out of you with a rote recitation of talking points thoughtfully provided by HRC. It’s difficult to imagine a better strategy for chasing more “normies” away from the Democratic Party, which is already hemorrhaging voters by the millions. That Clinton actually thinks sending pushy progressives out to harass their friends and neighbors is a useful tactic for killing the “Big Beautiful Bill Act” is indicative of how clueless she and the rest of the Democrats are about how dramatically the political landscape has changed during the last decade. {snip} And that trend will very likely continue as long as the Democrats keep picking the wrong side of 80-20 issues. As long as they support crazy stuff such as biological males competing in women’s sports, their support among working class voters of all races will shrink. That means they will continue to lose. Intelligent Democrats, an ever shrinking minority, understand that working class voters outnumber “highly educated” voters 2 to 1. The fabled diploma divide has been wildly exaggerated by the corporate media and many degrees handed out by “good schools” are participation trophies. The people who actually produce things know the Democrats have abandoned them. And the resistance? Working class voters know it is an exercise in pseudo-intellectual onanism, though most would use different words to describe it, especially when applied to that loudmouthed brother-in-law. https://spectator.org/trumps-poll-numbers-rise-resistance-2-0-flops/

As Democrats Fearmonger Over Medicaid, Dr. Oz Reveals the Staggering Amount of Waste and Fraud in the Program By Bob Hoge Democrats are busy fearmongering and predicting widespread tragedy that would emanate from the “Big Beautiful Bill” if it passes, but they should maybe think about taking a deep breath and listening to what Dr. Mehmet Oz has to say. They claim that the evil GOP wants to take away healthcare for the elderly and the disadvantaged with the measure, but Republicans counter that what they are really trying to do is get rid of the eye-opening waste and fraud that programs like Medicaid and Medicare are victims of. And there’s a whole lot of grift going on, according to Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in the Trump administration.
