So Democrats, What Would You Say You Do Here?

Who knew asking government employees to tell us what they’ve done over the last week would be so triggering? 

Poor MT Snyder, National Labor Relations Board staffer and federal union organizer. She told CNN that she felt “absolutely infuriated” after she and her fellow federal workers received an email from the Office of Personnel Management asking them to provide five examples of what they accomplished on the job last week? How dare the agency and Elon Musk and DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) ask such an unfair question of federal workers with premium club member job security. 

“I felt absolutely infuriated getting an email with a demand within 48 hours to provide a response on what I did within the last week or face termination,” Ms. Snyder indignantly said. 

While two days to jot down five things seems like a burdensome ask to longtime tax dollar feeders like Snyder, plenty of fed-up Americans in the private sector have gotten a kick out of the Bobs from “Office Space” treatment of entitled public-sector employees — now showing their government privilege. 

Sorry, Snyder. The days of safe spaces from long overdue questions such as, “What would you say you do here?” are over. 

So, in the spirit of accountability, let’s take a look at five things the left accomplished last week. 

Saluting Zelensky 

Democrats gave themselves a bad case of carpal tunnel waving their blue and yellow flags for their favorite autocrat, the insufferable Volodymyr Zelensky. After President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance gave the ungrateful grifter a reality check Friday in a heated Oval Office meeting, liberal war mongers rushed to comfort the Ukrainian president, renew their vows to Ukraine’s forever war, and show their disdain for peace through their raging hatred for Trump. 

Corrupt Ukraine and its comedian president have canceled elections, opposition parties, religious freedom, and news organizations not approved by the state in the name of saving “democracy” in the Ukraine. No wonder U.S. Dems are so simpatico. They’ve been trying to cancel, jail, and kill their No. 1 political enemy for the better part of a decade — in the name of saving democracy. And like Zelensky, they’ve charged the American taxpayer to do it. 

Being Their Best Hypocrite 

The same people who have marketed the Marxist concept of “white privilege” wept and whined about potentially losing their White House privileges. The White House Correspondents’ Association declared that a new policy giving the White House final say on which reporters have limited space access to President Trump is an assault on democracy.

The editors of The Associated Press, Bloomberg News and Reuters, the “three permanent wires in the White House press pool,” issued a haughty statement declaring that it is “essential in a democracy for the public to have access to news about their government from an independent, free press.” 

“An independent, free press?” What a joke. As my Federalist colleague Elle Purnell detailed in a column last week, “The corporate press and their representatives who run the WHCA haven’t actually been concerned about the integrity of the fourth estate for some time.” From the Russia collusion hoax to their breathless defense of Covid authoritarianism and their appalling cover for the previous Democrat dementia patient in the Oval Office, the accomplice media have proved dutiful mouthpieces for the left. But as they say in the legal system, the WHCA has no standing on the subject of “independent” journalism. 

Marginalizing Mom

Gov. Tony Evers, D-Wis., is pushing a budget item that would replace “mother” with the term “inseminated person” in Wisconsin law. The far-left executive wants to do away with “father,” too, in the section on in vitro fertilization.

Evers got all huffy about the heat he’s been taking for his latest political identity war on words, defending his jettisoning of mom for the “inseminated” as a needed legal clarification. 

“What the Republicans say is a lie, so of course, I’m pretty [pissed off] about that,” he said. Evers, the arguably whitest and wimpiest man in America, blustered a couple days after the story broke. “It gives people using IVF legal certainty. That’s it … moms are moms. Dads are dads. What we want is legal certainty.”

Wisconsinites weren’t buying what Evers was selling. The virtue-signaling Democrat has wrapped himself in the Pride flag and done the bidding of the DEI cult every day of his painfully long six years in office. Evers’ latest gender neutral language proposal redefining mothers as “inseminated persons” reads like the pages of The Handmaid’s Tale.

What if Michael Moore had been Deported or Aborted? 

Michael Moore has never met a buffet or a liberal binge he didn’t like. The roly-poly, right-hating documentarian wrote a lengthy blog post insisting that the Trump administration making good on the president’s campaign pledge to deport illegal aliens could cost America the next Steve Jobs or the astrophysicist that figures out how to keep an asteroid from annihilating the earth. 

“Who’s really being removed by ICE tonight?” Moore asked. “The child who would’ve discovered the cure for cancer in 2046? The 9th grade nerd who would’ve stopped that asteroid (sic) that’s gonna hit us in 2032? Do we care?”

Of course, Marxist Moore failed to note the tens of millions of pre-born human beings aborted over the run of Roe v. Wade — and beyond. How many exceptional minds from those ranks could have discovered the cure for cancer, saved us from a devastating pandemic manufactured in a lab in China, stopped Hunter Biden from picking up that first crack pipe or pardonable offense, or convinced abortion-on-demand liberals that the wholesale slaughter of the unborn is an immorally bad idea?

Save the Date 

Congressional Dems capped off the week by sending out invitations to some of the aforementioned disgruntled federal workers cut loose under the government right-sizing plan. Acting on their maxim to never let a political stunt go to waste, the liberal lawmakers want to take sympathetic bureaucrats like MT Snyder as their dates to Trump’s address Tuesday to a joint session of Congress.  

Look for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. to interrupt the president’s speech and demand Trump say the names of the entitled federal workers he’s shown the door.
