Self-professed democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani won the three-way race for New York City Mayor with more than 50% of the ballots cast. He called his victory "a clear mandate for my plan of reform. The majority of the people have endorsed increased taxes on the rich, freezing rents, establishing government-owned grocery stores, free and rapid bus service, and relentless opposition to the Trump tyranny." The mayor-elect mocked naysayers who predict his policies will wreck the city, saying that "these kinds of policies successfully transformed an agrarian Russia into a global colossus that won both the war against Hitler and the...

The U.S. Army is not in “terminal decline” but at a “classical crisis”—a decisive turning point. Critics see an “obsolete” force, but the author points to historical parallels (post-WWI, post-WWII, and the post-Vietnam “Hollow Army”) where the Army successfully renewed itself. Signs of this “metamorphosis,” like the SkyFoundry drone initiative (aiming for 10,000/month by 2026), show the Army is adapting, not collapsing, and will emerge smaller but more lethal.

Well, here's another tolerant lefty in elected office. This ranting and raving lib is now the mayor of Couer d'Alene.

The spread of Islam is not a new phenomenon. Ever since Muhammad's troops fanned out from Mecca in the 7th century, Islam has been spreading globally. But Islam's spread in Western democracies is a recent trend and one that is accelerating. Spread of IslamThis spread of Islam in Western democracies is led by the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic groups that endeavor to maximize the spread of Sharia law and Islam in the targeted societies while minimizing detection and push-back. This is achieved through the five phases of IRICI: Incubation, Recognition, Infiltration, Confrontation, Imposition. Phase 1: Incubation When the first...

Annual Ad-Free Subscription… Real conversations like this are getting harder to find. Go ad-free and keep common sense alive. What’s happening in New York right now has a lot of Americans on edge, and rightfully so. A massive group of Muslims gathered and publicly claimed the city for Islam. People who watched it unfold aren’t being “bigots” for feeling uneasy. They’re watching their country’s biggest city slip further from the culture that built it, just days after electing a Marxist mayor. As Scott Jennings says, good luck, New York… A mayor who believes criminals are the “real victims” and police...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, former First Lady Hillary Clinton, former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton, and CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert have called President Trump's $250 million privately funded construction of a White House ballroom a "desecration of a historic structure." Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif) has gone even further and is now telling prospective Democrat 2028 presidential candidates "don't even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE of your presidential term on January 20, 2029." It's...

Vice President J.D. Vance received overwhelming support for a potential 2028 presidential run during a live taping of The Megyn Kelly Show in Fort Worth, Texas, earlier this week. The event, part of Kelly’s national tour, featured several prominent conservative figures and drew a large audience to Dickies Arena. During the discussion, which was released Friday as a podcast episode, Kelly and her guests debated the political landscape looking ahead to the 2028 election. Panelists included media host Glenn Beck and political analyst Mark Halperin, among others. The conversation turned to Vice President Vance’s prospects as a future presidential candidate...

When Holocaust scholars accuse Jews of becoming Nazis, moral clarity collapses into performance guilt.Every few months, another academic or journalist decides that the best way to honor Holocaust memory is to accuse Israel of repeating it. The latest comes from The New York Times, where Professor Marianne Hirsch, interviewed by Masha Gessen, claims we need to “rethink how we think about the Holocaust.” It’s a long conversation—ostensibly about pedagogy and post-memory—but it eventually lands in the same familiar place: Holocaust memory, they say, has been “misused” to justify Israeli actions in Gaza, while Israel itself now stands accused of committing...

A hateful handwritten letter sent to Kelly Comperatore Meeder, the sister of fallen firefighter Corey Comperatore Kelly Comperatore Meeder, the sister of fallen firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was tragically killed during the assassination attempt on President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, revealed she received a handwritten hate letter mocking her brother’s death. In her Facebook post, Meeder described opening what she thought was a thank-you card from a grateful family, part of her work organizing events at a local hall, only to find a venom-filled rant from what she called “another deranged Democrat.” Meeder wrote: “I pour myself into every wedding...

Mike Benz has laid out a roadmap for Attorney General Pam Bondi to hold corrupt Obama-appointed Judge James Boasberg accountable. This comes amid the exploding Arctic Frost Scandal, where the Biden DOJ’s rogue Special Counsel Jack Smith orchestrated a massive spying operation on at least ten GOP senators and other conservatives. Senators Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz both confirmed this week that their official and campaign phone records were secretly subpoenaed by Special Counsel Jack Smith, with Judge Boasberg personally signing a gag order to conceal the unconstitutional seizure from them for over a year. Senator Graham revealed on X...

Ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee Rep. Jim Himes (Conn) took issue with the Trump Administration policy of having the US Navy blow up drug smugglers boats, saying "Sen Graham (SC) and other Republicans say it's okay to kill suspected drug smugglers, just so long as the American public supports it. What will they say when President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez orders a strike on a MAGA demonstration or suppresses the speech of individuals who disagree with her policies? Do they really want to establish a precedent that the president can do whatever he or she wants?" "What precedent is he...

The Shadow of Arab Supremacy: Racism and the (roughly) 5 Million Victims of Sudan's Endless ConflictsSudan, Africa's third-largest country, has been scarred by decades of violence rooted in deep-seated ethnic divisions, where Arab identity has been weaponized as a tool of supremacy and exclusion. Since the mid-20th century, conflicts pitting the Arab-dominated north against non-Arab populations in the south and west have claimed roughly 5 million lives, driven by policies of Arabization, racial hierarchies, and genocidal campaigns. This Arab racism—manifested in derogatory slurs like "abd" (slave) for Black Africans, favoritism toward Arab tribes, and state-sponsored militias targeting non-Arabs—has fueled mass...

Barack Obama is ready to throw his hat back into the political fray. According to CNN, the two-time former president is “not so sure” that the country will survive Donald Trump’s presidency and is preparing to step up his campaigning efforts in support of the Democratic Party. Their report states: After deliberately stepping back during the Biden years — while remaining the party’s biggest fundraiser even then — Obama and his aides are reworking his longstanding strategy of minimizing his public presence to allow the next generation of Democrats to emerge. Trump’s moves to block Democrats from power since his...

Making a series of wild comments, Rep Ilhan Omar (D-MN) slammed ICE and CBP agents for allegedly abducting people without identification, alongside military deployment on U.S. streets, disregarding states’ rights, and creating a constitutional crisis. In an even more objectionable comment, she stated that her home country, Somalia, was less tyrannical than the US. Additionally, she warned that America is devolving into an authoritarian state, betraying the founding fathers’ vision. Beginning her theatrical remarks, Omar whined about the “Masked, armed men who are in plain clothes that are snatching people off the streets, unwilling to identify themselves. You have the...

How much further left will the Democrats go? They’re increasingly aligning themselves with ideologies historically associated with violence and oppression: Islam and socialism or communism. Their incorporation of Marxist thought and accommodation of the influences of radical Islam threaten the American values of individual liberty, free enterprise, and national security. Communist leaders slaughtered over 100 million people in the 20th century through regimes like the Soviet Union, Maoist China, and North Vietnam. When Democrats advocate for socialism, wealth redistribution, and expanded government control, they echo the ideologies of those regimes. Figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez openly identify as...

@AndrewKolvet on X: Concerned parents just sent us this image of what’s believed to be teachers in @vailschools. in Tuscon, Arizona mocking Charlie’s murder with costumes that read “Problem Solved” and blood down the left side of their shirts. Teachers at Cienega High School in Arizona’s Vail School District have sparked national outrage after dressing up in Halloween costumes that appeared to mock the assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk. Photos circulating online show several teachers wearing white shirts splattered with red stains over the left side—the same area where Kirk was fatally shot in September—along with the phrase “Problem...

[ CYPHER CODE #137 ] Victims only matter when they’re useful. BRIEFING Jett here. There’s a video making the rounds out of the UK. It’s one of those clips that reminds you how broken everything’s become. Migrant men on one side, trans on the other, and in the middle is a society too polarized, confused, and afraid of the truth to say a word about it. Let’s get into it. If you missed...

President Donald Trump’s administration continues to redefine what American strength looks like on the world stage. Since his first major counterterrorism operation, 393 leading jihadists across the globe have been eliminated, and 76 American hostages who were wrongfully detained overseas have been brought home safely. These results underscore a level of national security success unmatched by any modern presidency. Under President Trump, America has reclaimed its role as the world’s leading force against terrorism. His administration rejected the indecisive strategies of past presidents and replaced them with clear, results-driven policy. Rather than tolerating endless discussions about how to handle global...
