(DCNF)—RealClearPolitics Co-Founder and President Tom Bevan joined SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly on Thursday, laughing at Democrats’ struggles to meme and saying the party seems left out of the “gag.”
Democrats have been fuming since President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated video of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries with a mustache and sombrero, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s voice was altered to say how much their party is hated. Since the video dropped Monday, Kelly said on “The Megyn Kelly Show” that it seems Democrats aren’t “getting their message across,” a point Bevan agreed with. “I think that’s right. One of the most interesting things about politics over the last few years is that Democrats don’t know how to meme. They can’t meme. And Republicans, and Trump in particular, and the MAGA folks have mastered the art, and they continue to do it,” Bevan said. “So they do this Sombrero thing. And then Hakeem Jeffries comes out with this indignant, ‘Say it to my face’ or whatever. Then they put a Sombrero on that.”
“It’s become a running gag now that everybody is in on, it seems like, except for the Democrats who are busy yelling that this is racist,” Bevan added. “There was just one where they put a Sombrero on JD Vance, and he was talking in sort of Spanglish about how he can’t compromise. He can’t negotiate with the Democrats because they’re, ‘retardo.’”
The video posted on Trump’s Truth Social came just before Senate Democrats, led by Schumer, shut down the government Tuesday by opposing a GOP spending bill. Despite Democrats, including Hakeem Jeffries, blasting the meme as “disgusting” and “racist,” Trump has continued posting versions of Jeffries with a sombrero, mustache, and mariachi music in the background.
Republicans hammered Democrats over the shutdown. Democrats tried to counter with a livestream that ran for more than 10 hours, according to Politico. But the stream was riddled with technical glitches and, at times, only drew a few dozen viewers, the outlet reported.
Bevan went on to call out the Democrats’ new age “telethon,” saying the party “really seem to be just sort of flailing about.”
“The question is, ‘OK, well how much is this going to hurt them politically?’ Or are we just living in two completely different information bubbles where the left thinks the Democrats, they’re with them, and the right is obviously with Republicans?” Bevan asked. “So there’s very little political damage that can come from this.”
“On the other hand, they’re definitely not helping themselves, I don’t think. And I think it’s clear to everyone that they are the obstacle to opening the government. So they will pay a political price, but it’s just a question of how much will they pay,” Bevan said.
In addition to the livestream, Democrats posted a video on their party’s Instagram Wednesday captioned, “Gov shutdown but it’s cats.” The clip showed kittens representing Republicans and Democrats, with the GOP blamed for the shutdown.
Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom also tried to mimic Trump’s viral sombrero meme, posting on X a video turning House Speaker Mike Johnson into a minion and captioning it, “Trump’s Minion Mike lies to the American people.”

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
To be funny a meme must contain some truth. Lefties have zero truth and not funny.
The Dems have succeeded in making their positions known. That’s why many have turned their backs on them.
