DEMOCRATS OPPOSED OTC BIRTH CONTROL PILLS BECAUSE THEY CUT INTO PLANNED PARENTHOOD’S REVENUE Study shows rising popularity of over-the-counter birth control pill. https://www.upi.com/Health_News/2025/08/19/Study-shows-rising-popularity-of-over-the-counter-birth-control-pill/2561755614851/ .

I wonder if mocking an assassination attempt will be what the Dems need to finally increase their approval ratings?

MEANWHILE: "The Democratic Party Faces a Voter Registration Crisis/The party is bleeding support beyond the ballot box, a new analysis shows." That's the headline in the lead article at the NYT this morning. Excerpt: There are still more Democrats registered nationwide than Republicans, partly because of big blue states like California allow people to register by party, while red states like Texas do not. But the trajectory is troublesome for Democrats, and there are growing tensions over what to do about it. Democrats went from nearly an 11-percentage-point edge over Republicans on Election Day 2020 in those places with partisan registration, to just over a 6-percentage-point edge in 2024.... It must be quite a crisis or I don't think the NYT would openly call it a crisis. They even used my favorite word, "flummox": "... Democrats are divided and flummoxed over what to do."

Team Trump Keeps Winning Case after Case in Federal Court by Daniel R. Street I wrote previously about the out of control federal judiciary and the measures Congress and higher federal courts could take to rein in the activist judges. One of those remedies was for the United States Supreme Court to disallow the use of Nationwide Injunctions. SCOTUS ruled against the use of Nationwide Injunctions under the Judiciary Act of 1789, as I wrote about here (though, the High Court left the door open to the abuse of the Nationwide Injunction under other authorities, such as “class action” relief). In the meantime, the Trump Administration just keeps winning one case after another. https://danielrstreet.substack.com/p/team-trump-keeps-winning-case-after?r=pax9d&utm_medium=ios&triedRedirect=true .

Wow. . . . . . . . . . . . . . these democrats. Texas Democrats Are Holding a Sleepover Now John Sexton As expected, Texas Democrats returned home Monday, setting up the state to pass a redistricting plan that could result in several more GOP controlled seats after next year's election. Republicans promised to impose $7,000 in fines on each Democrat who fled ($500 per day) and also to bill them for the money spent trying to track them down. But Republicans also put in place one additional penalty. No Democrat would be allowed to leave the State House unless accompanied by a member of the Texas Department of Public Safety. The idea was to keep them from running away again. Most of the Democrats agreed and left with their assigned member of DPS but one Democrat decided it was time for another headline-grabbing stunt. State Rep. Nicole Collier of Fort Worth said in an interview Tuesday she would sleep on the House floor until Labor Day if she had to. Since Monday, Collier has entered a new existence, eating, sleeping and working from the locked chamber after refusing to acquiesce to Republican demands that Democrats agree to around-the-clock security escorts in order to be released from the building...

Alaska Meeting Was a Start, But Putin Still Up to His Old Tricks — and Trump Knows It Douglas Murray As the people of Ukraine know, neighborliness is not among Putin’s great qualities. Still, it was with a reference to the US and Russia being neighbors that Putin kicked off his conversation with President Trump in Alaska yesterday. On the red carpet at the airport he apparently said to Trump: “Good afternoon, dear neighbor. Very good to see you in good health and to see you alive.”' When relaying this at the joint press conference later on, the Russian president commented about his own earlier remarks: “I think that is very neighborly.” Of course the two leaders were only meeting because of Putin’s lack of neighborly qualities. https://nypost.com/2025/08/15/opinion/alaska-was-a-start-but-putin-is-still-up-to-his-old-tricks-and-trump-knows-it/

No mas, no mas By Bill Glahn On of the stories I’ve been following is the rise of right-wing (conservative, free-market, whatever you prefer) parties and governments across the world. From the U.K. Guardian, Bolivia’s presidential election will go to a runoff for the first time, with two rightwing candidates competing for the presidency – marking the end of nearly 20 years of dominance by the leftist Movimiento al Socialismo (Mas). The New York Times describes the leading candidate, Sen. Rodrigo Paz Pereira, 57, as a centrist. In any event, neither finalist is a leftist. Also contested in this election was the Bolivian legislature, both lower house and Senate, and the same anti-leftist trend held. The runoff election for president will be held on October 19. How big a deal was this? The Guardian reports, Luis Arce, the deeply unpopular Mas president, chose not to seek re-election and instead put forward his interior minister, 36-year-old Eduardo del Castillo, who won just 3.16% of the vote. Adding, Some analysts described the shift to the right as being part of a broader “rightward turn” across South America, after the victories of Javier Milei in Argentina and Daniel Noboa in Ecuador. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/08/no-mas-no-mas.php

OBAMA’S ‘OBSCENE MONUMENT TO HIS EGO’ DRAMATICALLY BACKFIRES AS $850M VANITY PROJECT SPARKS OUTRAGE: President Barack Obama’s promise to build and revitalize blighted neighborhoods was a centerpiece of his first term in the White House. But now, nearly nine years after he left the Oval Office, he might be destroying one critical area in the city he called home, the Daily Mail can reveal. His $850 million presidential center in Chicago – due to open in April – has come under fire from residents, community leaders and even onetime supporters who now warn that the massive 19.3-acre facility in Jackson Park is gentrifying the neighborhood, increasing rent and forcing families out. Alderwoman Jeanette Taylor, who represents much of the area where the center is being built, told the Daily Mail she is a fan of Obama and believes in the project but has fought aspects of it to protect her constituents. Her efforts have had mixed results. ‘We’re going to see rents go higher and we’re going to see families displaced,’ she told the Daily Mail. ‘Every time large development comes to communities, they displace the very people they say they want to improve it for,’ the Democrat added. ‘This was no different, and we’re living what is actually happening. The city of Chicago should have done a Community Benefits Agreement before the first shovel went into the ground, but they didn’t.’ A CBA is a legally binding document that outlines what a developer will provide for a project such as affordable housing, local hiring and environmental protections. C’mon — it’s a moment to a guy who said that merely winning the Democrats’ nomination to be president was “the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.” Surely you can trust his environmental intentions! In 2019, Jon Gabriel described the library as looking like “A discarded Chinese take-out box. The backside of a Star Wars sand crawler. The Washington Monument with the interesting bits lopped off. That’s what sprung to mind when confronted with the initial design of the Obama Presidential Center.” Over the past century, it’s a truism that the vast majority of modern architecture never looks as good when built as it does in model format. And the Obama Presidential Center was looking stillborn while still only styrene: https://archive.is/0fRUW
