Vice President Harris expressed her exasperation with former President Donald Trump during a recent podcast interview, and agreed that 2024 "genuinely could be" the last democratic election in America’s history. Harris made the claims on an episode of the "I’ve Had It" podcast that aired on Tuesday. During the show, Harris spoke to co-hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie "Pumps" Sullivan about politics, notably the Biden-Harris ticket’s rematch with Trump. In keeping with the show’s theme, Welch and Sullivan played several rounds of "had it or hit it" with the vice president, asking if she’s been a fan of, or has...

RED LION, Pa. — Signs and flags emblazoned with the phrase “Let’s Go Brandon” and the stronger-language phrase it substitutes for aren’t an uncommon sight in Central Pennsylvania yards and on cars. Flying a flag with the “F” word on it offends some, while others, like Melissa Low of Mount Wolf, are concerned about its impact on kids. “No matter your political opinion, I don’t think it needs to be that vulgar,” she said. One can debate whether the phrase is in bad taste, but there’s likely no legal basis to remove them. Free speech does have some limits;...

Saul Alinsky was a brilliant man. Evil, but brilliant. Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, everyone on the Left from the President on down is playing by his rules in the political arena. Not all liberals have read his book or know his name, but his tactics have become universal. Sadly for conservatives, when two evenly matched forces go head-to-head outside of a fairy tale, the side that tries to play nice usually ends up with its head in a box. So, don't lie or become an evil person like Alinsky, but learn from what he wrote and give...

Stages of Genocide The Ten Stages of Genocide By Dr. Gregory H. Stanton[1] © 2016 Gregory H. Stanton Genocide is a process that develops in ten stages that are predictable but not inexorable. At each stage, preventive measures can stop it. The process is not linear. Stages may occur simultaneously. Logically, later stages must be preceded by earlier stages. But all stages continue to operate throughout the process. ➔ 1. CLASSIFICATION: All cultures have categories to distinguish people into “us and them” by ethnicity, race, religion, or nationality: German and Jew, Hutu and Tutsi. Bipolar societies that lack mixed categories,...

“Progressive” ideology always rests on a conviction that the current “regressive” system is comprehensively unjust and must be destroyed by exploiting its weaknesses. The most famous proponent of such tactics in recent years has been the late Saul Alinksy, the intellectual godfather of the modern Democrat Party, but former Soviet journalist and KGB informant Yuri Bezmenov laid out an even more concise strategy for subversion in a 1984 interview.Alinksy’s seminal book specified 13 Rules for Radicals, but Bezmenov had only four “stages of ideological subversion,” and they will sound very familiar to anyone following the current wave of left-wing riots,...

The intent of this article is to reveal the heart of today’s LEFT, and how they truly consider “Rules for Radicals” to be their bible. .....the most famous (infamous) of Alinsky’s quotes with commentary inserted. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)” Think “Brett Kavanaugh” “Control healthcare and you control the people” ~ Saul Alinsky Obama comes to mind, doesn’t he? Bernie Sanders...

Democrats are so corrupt, and such vile liars and cheaters, they will do anything to win Sen. Dianne Feinstein has much to be ashamed about in her lengthy political career… but first comes to mind is her reprehensible attempt to prevent Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the United States Supreme Court… a tactic right out of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. No doubt, on behalf of the entire radical Democratic National Committee, Feinstein (D-CA) advanced the 36-year old naked allegation of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, brought by Christine Blasey Ford. Yet DiFi sat on Ford’s letter for...

Do you remember Kurt Schlichter’s column from February 2017? The one where he noted that “…finally, the Right has taken Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals and shoved it up where #TheResistance don’t shine”? [ed. - MOTUS has been at it for nearly 10 years.] It’s the one where he points out that of all the people who might have become Andrew Breitbart’s standard bearer, the one person who took it up was the the least likely candidate: Bizarrely, the guy who picked up the standard and carried it forward when our beloved commander was felled by fate was a New...

A radical group linked to rogue billionaire George Soros has been providing scripts containing anti-Trump talking points for constituents to read aloud during congressional town hall meetings. One of the scripts distributed by the Revolutionary Love Project encourages town hall participants meeting with their member of Congress to accuse the Trump administration of – wait for it – “xenophobia, racism, and Islamophobia.” Constituents are urged to use those precise words to “forcefully condemn” President Trump’s immigration and border security initiatives, Aaron Klein reports at Breitbart News. Information about the scripts came as leaked audio from anti-Trump activists associated with the...

Pastor J.D. talks about the Islamic terrorist attack in Barcelona and addresses one of the most serious threats facing the church today.

It is a sad truth of our current societal situation that those on the left wing of the political spectrum no longer possess the ability to argue political issues based on anything resembling facts or logic. I used to say that they no longer desire to do so, but it has become abundantly clear over the last decade that progressives simply no longer have the ability. The left abandoned any effort to really debate issues at the outset of the Bill Clinton presidency, as the Clintons brought their Saul Alinsky rules for radicals tactics to the White House. Those rules...

Subtitle: Alinsky Lives. Don’t look for fundamental principles in Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. You won’t find them. In her 1969 college thesis, Hillary admitted frustration in trying to make sense of his inconsistencies. So, as the title implies, Alinsky doesn’t expound on philosophical nostrums, but rather delivers tactics with which to tear down institutions. The danger of adherence to principles of any sort is that they typically harden into the straightjacket of dogma, and dogma is counter-productive to change. Dogmatic ideology locks its adherents into an unchanging course of thought in a rapidly changing world. Ideology stifles free thought and...

The Left is getting massively out-Alinskyed, and the hilarious thing is that this band of withered hippies, unemployable millennial safe-space cases, and unlovable + unshaven libfeminists don’t even know it. Oh, their masters sure know it. Soros is bitterly having to ramp up his infusions of blood money to keep his community-organized “grassroots” movements afloat. The less dumb ones among the lying dinosaur media are panicking as their influence fades, and Chuck Schumer is enduring such a non-stop parade of serial humiliations that if the Senate were a penitentiary, he’d be McConnell’s prison Mitch. The Leftist mafia godmaleidentifyingparents pulling...

Trump has turned the enemy’s tactics against itself Can we say anything more about Donald Trump and his election campaign that has not already been said? Let’s look again at Saul Alinsky’s book RULES FOR RADICALS. Could it be that Trump used some of Alinsky’s ideas to win the election? RULES FOR RADICALS was first published in 1971. That’s almost 50 years ago.

It’s no wonder they hate him…h/t Ed DriscollHe’s a very quick learner. (Although he may have gotten the idea from MOTUS’s banner)I’ve got a busy day so your job, should you accept it, is to illustrate how The Donald has used every one of Alinsky’s Rules thus far. Ed Driscoll gets you started: Rule #4: Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. In late August, a Trump video similarly pushed back against his own charges by noting that “Hillary Clinton needs to address the racist undertones of her 2008 campaign.” Posted from: Michelle Obama’s Mirror

Free public college, Cancellation of all student debt, A $15 minimum wage Who, you ask, is Saul Alinsky? He was a self-proclaimed radical who supported guerilla tactics and civil disobedience to get what he wanted. In 1971 he wrote about his book “Rules for Radicals, “The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power,” “Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away.” Another notable quote from Alinsky,

That photo is me about ten years ago, standing in the ruins of a land where people rejected the rule of law in favor of the rule of force. I think a lot about my year-long deployment to Kosovo these days. I think a lot about people today who, for short term political points, cavalierly disregard the rules, laws and norms that made America what it is. I think a lot about how liberals, especially those who boo God, should pray to Him that those rules, laws and norms are restored. I am most certainly not smiling – I am...

WASHINGTON – There’s no love lost between the Clintons and the Obamas. But they have much in common. As previously mentioned in this series, Hillary Rodham Clinton is a disciple of Saul Alinsky, the ruthless, guileful, Marxist genius who explained how hard work, deceit and trickery can be used to impose unpopular restrictions on liberty, faith, family and free enterprise – empowering government as the ultimate authority over people. Likewise, so is Barack Hussein Obama. It’s no bulletin to anyone at this point, but, under the circumstances, it’s worth noting again that Alinksy dedicated his famous “Rules for Radicals” to...
