Philippe Reines, a longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, lamented how the Democratic Party is being held hostage by the radicals within it, costing the party in elections.Reines claimed that many Democrats actually are concerned about the Biden-Harris border crisis and oppose men playing in women's sports.“I think Democrats believe in commonsense stuff more than you realize. I mean, it’s not like we sit at home and don‘t talk to anyone. Most Democrats I know think there is a huge problem at the border. Most Democrats I know think, frankly, that males at birth should not play women’s sports and vice versa," Reines told CNN on Friday.'If you are going to ignore the political consequences of these kinds of things, then you're asking to lose these elections in the manner that we did.'"Either way, here‘s the problem: I am not concerned about what the right thinks about the Democratic Party. I am concerned about what I think about the Democratic Party. ... I don‘t like the fact that a small portion of our party is pretty much dictating where we are. Pretty much, we are being branded as the most extreme of us," he continued.“Again, I’m afraid to say something wrong. The woke stuff, the PC-police stuff. You’ll see Republicans who say they're afraid to say X. I’m afraid to say X. These congressmen are afraid to say X. Why?" Reines said. — (@) As if to prove Reines' point, the Boston Globe reported Rep. Seth Moulton's (D-Mass.) campaign manager and PAC director resigned after Moulton said he is against having men playing in women's sports because he has concerns for his daughters.The long-serving chairman of the Democratic Party in Texas also resigned this week in part because he said the Democrats' embrace of transgenderism at the expense of women made them lose badly in the 2024 election.“You could, for example, you can support transgender rights up and down all the categories where the issue comes up, or you can understand that there's certain things that we just go too far on, that a big bulk of our population does not support," Gilberto Hinojosa remarked. "If you are going to ignore the political consequences of these kinds of things, then you're asking to lose these elections in the manner that we did."Moulton's and Hinojosa's comments about transgenderism created a fierce backlash from progressives.One of the reasons why President-elect Donald Trump won the election is because his campaign was able to successfully highlight the extreme positions Vice President Kamala Harris took on social issues, like wanting to provide taxpayer-funded surgeries to prison inmates and illegal immigrants in U.S. custody.

Michael Jordan's racing team was dealt a painful blow by a United States district judge who denied his team's request for an injunction just before the culmination of the 2024 NASCAR season.Jordan, who co-owns 23XI Racing with three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin, was joined by Front Row Motorsports in a suit against NASCAR and its chairman. The lawsuit claimed NASCAR gave all Cup Series teams a last-minute offer in September; but both teams refused to sign the offer on antitrust grounds.Judge Whitney summarized much of the claims by the racing teams as being speculative and not definitive.As reported by the New York Post, the racing team owners claimed NASCAR's charter system limits competition by binding teams to the series, its tracks, and suppliers in an unfair manner.The lawsuit said Chairman Jim France and NASCAR are "monopolistic bullies."The teams wanted the court to grant an injunction that would release them from a clause in the NASCAR charter that prevents them from suing its sanctioning body. However, U.S. District Judge Frank D. Whitney ruled mid-day Friday that the two racing teams did not meet the burden required to be granted the injunction.The injunction would have allowed the teams to compete as usual (as chartered teams) while still suing NASCAR. Instead, they may now have to compete as "open" teams, which does not guarantee them a spot in NASCAR races and limits their revenue. This could cause drivers and sponsors to leave the teams because they are not privy to those guarantees.As reported by NBC Sports, the judge decided that the plaintiffs did prove they would suffer "irreparable harm if the injunction is not granted."Judge Whitney summarized much of the claims by the racing teams as being speculative and not definitive."Although Plaintiffs have alleged that they will face a risk of irreparable harm, they have not sufficiently alleged present, immediate, urgent irreparable harm, but rather only speculative, possible harm," the judge wrote.The judge also noted that the teams "alleged a possibility" that they will lose sponsorship agreements, citing that this wording is "too speculative."The judge further wrote that the teams only "allege that their drivers may leave if Plaintiffs compete as open teams.""Presently, this harm is too speculative to merit a preliminary injunction."The judge went on, "Plaintiffs have not alleged that their business cannot survive without a preliminary injunction. Instead, they allege that their businesses may not survive without a preliminary injunction."The ruling went on similarly about "potential" losses and future business losses being "merely speculative.""As such, this speculative harm does not warrant the extraordinary relief of a preliminary injunction," he concluded. The ruling comes just two days before the NASCAR Cup Series Championship in Phoenix on Sunday.Four drivers are headed into the final race in a tie for first place in the Cup Series standings; one of whom is the No. 45 car driven by Tyler Reddick for Jordan's 23XI team.23XI's other driver, No. 23 Bubba Wallace, is in 18th place. Both drive Toyotas.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Since Donald Trump clinched the 2024 presidential race on Tuesday, the panel on “The View” has struggled to come to terms with the Democratic Party’s stinging defeat.On Friday, an unlikely host, Sara Haines, attempted to provide the panel with an explanation of how Trump secured his sweeping victory. However, her insights were met with resistance from her fellow co-hosts.'They voted for him because they needed help in their everyday lives.'Haines is certainly no fan of Trump herself, having previously accused the president-elect of believing “facts are optional” and stroking “fear and hate every single time he opens his mouth.”Earlier this week, Haines called for regulations on social media sites to combat what she considers misinformation, Blaze News previously reported.However, on Friday, Haines shared a different message, encouraging her co-hosts to engage in some introspection regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’ loss.She criticized the Democratic Party’s messaging, calling it “condescending.”“It’s condescending, the way that the left speaks to its voters. It really is,” she said. “The message of not being educated, being dumb and what’s wrong with America.”Co-host Sunny Hostin retorted, “What is wrong with America?”“My point is, I don’t blame Joe Biden. I don’t blame Kamala Harris. Go back as far as you want. I blame a messaging within the Democratic Party,” Haines said.“You don’t blame the Republican Party at all?” Hostin snapped. — (@) “Can I just finish my point, please?” Haines continued, adding that she "obviously" has a problem with the GOP and Trump. “The bigger question should be, yes, Sunny, why did they vote for him?”Hostin argued that it was Trump's supporters who needed introspection.“No, we need to be in introspective!” Haines replied. “If we voted for Kamala Harris, we need to say, ‘What didn’t resonate with the voters?’ You know what didn’t resonate with the voters? When they were saying we don’t feel safe, and the left focused on defund the police and bail reform.”“When they were focused on renaming schools, there were people saying, ‘Hey, students are destroying colleges. I paid for that. I sent them there. They can’t learn,’ and everyone apologized for it and didn’t want to attend to it,” Haines continued. “They also denied the border was a crisis and kept saying, ‘No, no, no, it’s fine.’”Joy Behar interrupted to mention that the Democrats supported a so-called border bill.“My point is they [the voters] screamed and screamed and screamed. They didn’t vote for him because he’s a racist or a misogynist. They voted for him because they needed help in their everyday lives,” Haines concluded.Throughout her speech, Haines faced multiple interruptions from Hostin and Behar. Hostin claimed that the Democratic Party’s message to voters was not condescending but rather “one of joy and inclusiveness.”Behar dismissed Trump supporters as racists and misogynists. Haines replied, “Every racist and misogynist voted for Donald Trump; not everyone who voted for Donald Trump is a racist and a misogynist.”Behar agreed with Haines. She earlier suggested that the Democratic Party has always supported the working class, attributing the loss to voters failing to pay attention.Hostin, who on Thursday blamed “uneducated white women” and “Latino men” for Trump's victory, claimed that the incoming administration would allow for increased gun violence in schools and worker exploitation.

Kamala Harris’ campaign never gave up on the messaging that Donald Trump was an evil racist only rivaled by the likes of Adolf Hitler — but unfortunately for them, very few Americans actually believed it. “To me it’s more simple than we have heard in the mainstream media,” executive producer for Voz Karina Yapor tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson of “Blaze News Tonight.” “They are saying crazy stuff out there. I was listening to ‘The View’ hosts saying that Latino voters didn’t vote for Kamala Harris because we are racist and Latino males are misogynist.” “It’s very racist for her to say that about us. It’s more simple than that. We care about economy first. I think that’s one of the reasons and the main reasons Latinos voted for Donald Trump,” she continues. Not only do Latinos value the health of the economy like any other hard-working Americans, they also value the mental health of their children. “They are realizing the woke agenda, they are realizing that they don’t want their children to be indoctrinated at school, they don’t want their children to be transitioned at school, and they are waking up and they are making their voices heard through their vote for sure,” Yapor explains. Immigration was also a major issue on the ballot for Latinos, and Democrats mistakenly believed that would be the issue to sway them. “The border counties in Texas, 50% of Hispanics voted for Donald Trump. So, what does that tell you? That tells you that Hispanics are being impacted as well by illegal immigration. The fact that we are Hispanics doesn’t mean that we support illegal immigration,” she continues. “I am an immigrant myself. I support immigration. I think it’s a good thing when you have control of it,” she says, adding, “So, most Hispanics are in favor of immigration, but legal immigration.” 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.
