The Democrats continue to just flail around.
It is truly amazing and amusing to watch them flail.
Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, wrote a book about anti-Semitism. I usually don’t do “as a Jew,” but, as a Jew myself, the answer is no, Chuck.
You do not get to speak as a Jew about how you’re fighting anti-Semitism while you green-lit the Iran nuclear deal, made room for every anti-Israel, anti-Semitic person in your party, and refused to condemn the worst excesses of your own party.
The answer is no. Absolutely not.
Schumer had to postpone his book tour. Hilariously enough, the reason wasn’t that he has no moral leg on which to stand speaking about anti-Semitism. The reason he had to postpone his book tour is that so many Democrats are ticked off at him over green-lighting the continuing resolution.
That shows where violence is on the American spectrum these days, when even the Senate minority leader, a Democrat leftist, can’t face his own constituents in New York. Politico reported, “Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is postponing scheduled book tour events this week for ‘security reasons,’ as he faces intense backlash from the party base in the wake of last week’s government funding vote.”
That’s pretty incredible. When Right-wingers cancel events these days, they are doing so because of the violent Left. When Schumer cancels an event, it’s because of the — wait for it — violent Left.
I wonder, who is violent? I was told only the Right was violent, that the Right has a violence problem.

Schumer had planned several event stops to promote his new book, “Anti-Semitism in America: How I Did It.”
Just kidding.
His book is actually titled, “Anti-Semitism in America: A Warning.”
But none of this stopped Schumer from appearing on “The View.”
I have to admit: I am jealous that Schumer appeared on “The View.” It has been a lifelong dream for me.
I have a wonderful life. I’ve gotten so many things I want out of life, and I hope to get many more. And it’s a great life. But one of my unfulfilled aspirations as a human being is to be on “The View.”
It would make some of the best TV ever. Granted, it would be like intellectually clubbing a baby seal, but amazing TV.
Yet it was Schumer who was invited. Not because he’s a woman — I mean, I don’t know the answer to that, as only he can identify — but he was invited to talk about all of this.
He explained why he had not signed on to the filibuster of the continuing resolution: “There’s no exit strategy. How do you get out of a shutdown? Guess who determines it? Trump. Musk. DOGE. They’re the only ones, and one of the Republican senators told one of the Democratic senators, ‘You get us, you get us in this? We’re staying in for six months, nine months, a year till we decimate the entire federal government.’”
That’s not a horrible explanation as to why he voted in favor of the continuing resolution; if the government shut down, Trump would have the ability to decide who the essential workers are, and then fire a bunch of people. So that’s actually a pretty good explanation.
But host Sunny Hostin was having none of it. She ripped into Schumer. She was really irate because, as she sees it, what if Trump says “black”? You have to say “white.” If Trump says “day,” you have to say “night.” That’s how it works.
“Governor Pritzker’s chief of staff Anne Caprara has said the following,” Hostin stated. “The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, right, and moderate, it’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave and it gives me no pleasure to say this to you because we are friends, but I think you caved. I think you and nine other Democrats caved. I don’t think you showed the fight this party needs right now because you’re playing by a rule book where the other party has thrown that rule book away.”
“True,” Schumer replied.
“So in my view what you did in supporting that GOP partisan bill that Democrats had no input in, you cleared the way for Donald Trump and Elon Musk to gut Social Security, to gut Medicare,” she continued. “Why did you lead democratic senators to play by that book that the Republicans are not playing by?
So, that’s the battle inside the Democratic Party.
Get out the popcorn.
But if you thought that Schumer was on the reasonable side of the Democratic Party, I beg to differ. He mocked Americans who want to keep their money, saying, “And you know what their attitude is? ‘I made my money all by myself. How dare your government take my money from me? I don’t want to pay taxes.’ Or, ‘I built my company with my bare hands. How dare your government tell me how I should treat my customers, the land and water that I own, or my employees.’ They hate government. Government’s a barrier to people, a barrier to stop them from doing things. They want to destroy it.”
He raised his fists, saying, “We are not letting them do it, and we’re united.”
The fists of uniting. Go, go, Power Rangers.
I would like to point out that I agree with everything he accused Americans. Our team built our entire company. The government did not help us. The government provided the basic law and order necessary to the preservation of private property in the United States, and the protection of free speech. That’s everything the government provided.
We built it, not Chuck Schumer. He’s not entitled to our money. Schumer is not entitled to money I have earned on behalf of my family.
He is not entitled. I don’t think many Americans believe that Schumer is entitled to that money, or that he’s likely to use it in good ways.
The Democrats cannot help themselves.
And watching Schumer flail about and castigate Americans while his party is lost in space is pretty darn amusing.
