Culture War Makes For Strange Bedfellows

We, on the right, have become the political equivalent of baby mamas and baby daddies — barely engaged after casting our votes, as though the job’s done. Sure, we vote every four years, maybe every two if we’re feeling frisky, but we ignore local issues and elections. Why? We’ve got other stuff to do.This mindset has crippled our political strategy. We can’t keep treating civic duty as a part-time hobby, especially when the stakes are this high. Kamala Harris and her allies push relentlessly to abolish the filibuster in the Senate, aiming to re-federalize state-sanctioned baby murder. This single issue, along with their hatred for Trump, drives the Democrats’ entire campaign. Yet, they remain focused and never slow down.The 'I can’t be bothered' crowd has never beaten the 'kill them all' mob at any time in history. Yet, this is exactly where we find ourselves today.Meanwhile, in Nebraska, Republicans can’t even rally enough momentum to reform the state’s split Electoral College system. Keep in mind, Nebraska and Maine are the only two states that divide their electoral votes.What’s the big deal, Steve? It’s just one vote, right? Well, it matters in terms of recognizing the bigger picture. Look at what Harris is willing to do to secure every advantage. Compare that to what Nebraska Republicans won’t do for one single Electoral College vote. Whether Trump wins or not, if we don’t change how we approach Republican citizenship, Trump’s name will be synonymous with Pyrrhic victories for decades to come. This coalition isn’t sustainable under any conditions.That one electoral vote in Nebraska means Kamala wouldn’t need to win any Sun Belt states. She wouldn’t need to win Arizona, North Carolina, or Georgia. The moment Georgia polling dips, Democrats can pull resources and reinvest them in Pennsylvania, where Trump is already being outspent. That’s the value of one electoral vote. But Nebraska Republicans wouldn’t act — even when there was absolutely no political risk in a deeply red state.The “I can’t be bothered” crowd has never beaten the “kill them all” mob at any time in history. Yet, this is exactly where we find ourselves today. Our broken political system won’t fix itself, and just voting for Trump won’t magically allow us to ignore the problems again. At its core, this is a people problem — one where the people have become far too comfortable.I admire the Democrats’ strategy and have adopted much of it because the GOP’s mix of cowardice and incompetence feels traitorous in its outcomes, if not its intent. I don't struggle to hate the hosts of “The View.” My frustration lies with the Nebraska governor who refuses to call a special session to reallocate one electoral vote that could paint the entire Electoral College map red. We cannot win with this attitude. Meanwhile, we’re sending billions to Ukraine’s “reverse Wakanda” scam, only for Zelenskyy to use that money to campaign against us in Pennsylvania. We’ve become losers, consenting to this cuckoldry.Once this election is behind us, we need to reflect on what comes next. While we may not control the outcome at this point, we can still use our platforms to amplify the get-out-the-vote message. But when this is over, we need to have a serious conversation about where we go from here.“A moral and religious people and no other,” said John Adams about our destiny as a people. Well? What are you prepared to do?

Hollywood movie star Will Ferrell offered his psychological analysis on people who are opposed to the transgender agenda, and it was rather negative. Ferrell made the comments as a part of the publicity campaign for a documentary movie on Netflix during which he took a road trip across the U.S. with a friend who had recently transitioned from a male to a female. 'If the trans community is a threat to you, I think it stems from not being confident or safe with yourself.' “I think we fear what we don’t know,” said Ferrell to the Independent when asked why transphobia exists. “There is hatred out there. It’s very real, and it’s very unsafe for trans people in certain situations," he added. “But I don’t know why trans people are meant to be threatening to me as a cis male."The movie follows Ferrell's friendship of nearly 30 years with comedy writer Andrew Steele, who now identifies as Harper Steele, a woman. "Whether or not you can ultimately wrap your head around that, why would you care if somebody’s happy? Why is that threatening to you?" Ferrell continued. "If the trans community is a threat to you, I think it stems from not being confident or safe with yourself.”The pair claimed that the tone of the movie was apolitical and did not aim to present a partisan view of the transgender issue. Some on social media were unpersuaded by that claim. "Will Ferrell is not an incarcerated woman who has to bunk with a rapist. He’s not a 14 year old girl who has to share her school bathroom with boys. He’s not a female athlete. He’s a rich, out of touch man," responded one detractor. A trailer for the Netflix movie can be viewed on YouTube. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Mayor Eric Adams is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, but he’s historically become the first sitting mayor in the history of New York to be indicted for committing crimes. The indictment alleges that Mayor Adams took $10 million in illegal donations and bribes. The U.S. Attorney's Office claims that he sought and accepted gifts and contributions from wealthy foreign business people — including a Turkish government official. Adams is pushing back against the allegations and arguing that he’s being targeted for speaking out against the Biden administration. “It is now my belief that the federal government intends to charge me with crimes. If so, these charges would be entirely false, based on lies. But they would not be surprising. I always knew that if I stood my ground for all of you, that I would be a target, and a target I became,” Adams said in a statement following the allegations. “For months, leaks and rumors have been aimed at me in an attempt to undermine my credibility and paint me as guilty. Just this past week, they searched the home of our new police commissioner looking for documents from 20 years ago. Just one week after he joined my administration,” he continued. Jill Savage of “Blaze News Tonight” notes that what he’s referring to is likely when Adams “spoke out fiercely against the Biden-Harris border crisis” and said it was “destroying New York City.” Host of “The Josh Hammer Show” Josh Hammer tells Savage and Matthew Peterson that he believes Adams is in “deep doo-doo.” “He’s going to have to face a choice as to whether to try to slog this out or resign,” Hammer says, adding, “So far, it seems like he’s going to fight it.” Want more from 'Blaze News Tonight'?To enjoy more provocative opinions, expert analysis, and breaking stories you won’t see anywhere else, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

The Battle of Alesia, fought in 52 BC, was a defining moment in Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul. This clash pitted Caesar's Roman legions against the Gallic tribes united under the leadership of Vercingetorix. The battle took place near the fortified hilltop town of Alesia, where Caesar's strategic brilliance was put to the test. Using a combination of siege warfare and tactical maneuvers, Caesar managed to overcome a numerically superior enemy, leading to the eventual Roman domination of Gaul. The victory at Alesia not only cemented Caesar's military reputation but also significantly expanded the Roman Republic's territory.
