This is from the 1985 album by the German "Producer's Band" Propaganda; it is one of at least three singles (along with Duel and Dream within a Dream). Most FM radio airplay in North America was via college & university campus stations. Their work stayed in rotation in the nightclub scene well into the 1990s.

We know that antisemitism is out of control on college campuses, and we just had three university presidents testify that calling for genocide isn't a violation of the code of conduct … it depends on the context, like if a student were to actually start killing Jews. That might be taking it a bit too far. But if you misgender someone on campus, that's "abuse." We've often asked where these college-age kids developed such a deep antisemitism. We doubt it was from their parents. Is it all indoctrination by university professors? Or is it because they get their news from...

LONDON — Conservative MPs fear another season of their Nigel Farage nightmare is looming. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is trying — and failing — to calm their nerves. Farage — once dubbed Mr. Brexit — is back in the British headlines as the star of primetime reality TV show “I’m a Celebrity Get me Out of Here.” But as the former MEP gallivants in the Australian jungle, dodging snakes and drinking blended goat testicles, the latest upstart political party he founded is fast gaining support. A recent BMG Research poll put Reform UK in third place behind Labour and the...

At first, the ads seemed like a pandemic-era curiosity, a niche political pitch playing on the red state, blue state divide. “Escape liberal hell,” counseled one sales video from a Boise, Idaho, real estate agent. “Here are seven reasons conservatives flock to Idaho.” “Time is not on your side, flee the city NOW before the coming collapse!” read another ad for 5 acres in Moyie Springs, Idaho, listed for $259,000 by a Sandpoint, Idaho, company called Black Rifle Real Estate. (Motto: “Ready. Aim. Move.”) The idea that people would pick up and move solely for politics has seemed like a...

[Catholic Caucus] What Are Francis’s Most Dangerous Heresies?Most faithful Catholics can now name at least a few heretical ideas from Francis’s ten-year occupation of the papacy, including those related to Communion for Catholics who are not in the state of grace and blessings of intrinsically evil relationships. Among these multifarious heresies, though, one category of heretical ideas stands apart because one cannot accept it without simultaneously undermining the entire basis for the Catholic Faith. Each of the following statements contributes to an idea of universal salvation — meaning all men are saved regardless of their religious professions — which would...

Kevin, don't hold your breath. So, remember back in October (and also in a NY Times interview more recently), when former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said, to a crowd in Oxford, UK. ...... "When you look at the Democrats, they actually look like America. When I look at my party, we look like the most restrictive country club in America."? Me, too, and it was identity politics at its worst — from a Republican, no less.Kevin McCarthy: “When you look at the Democrats, they actually look like America. When I look at my party, we look like the most restrictive...

The deterioration of our major cities has been a matter of concern for some time now. While we write a lot at RedState about the left-coast cities of Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles as examples, and those are pretty compelling examples, now we turn our attention to the East. If you own or have an interest in a historic building in downtown Baltimore... Urine trouble.Many of downtown Baltimore’s buildings are slowly being washed away. The problem is less flooding and rain, more golden showers.That’s right, pee is eroding thousands of historic buildings downtown, the exterior bases corroding with every...

We should've known. Wait. Some of us did — or at least predicted it — from the beginning, with "it" being the nefarious powers that be in the federal government would do their damnedest to shield Joe and Hunter Biden from the justice they likely deserve for the crimes they likely committed. As I reported on Friday night, legal scholar and Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley called Hunter's Thursday indictment on nine tax counts — including four counts of failure to pay taxes, two counts of filing false tax documents, two counts of failure to file taxes, and one...

We have good and bad news to report. First, the good news for the people of Houston, Texas.Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) was running to become mayor of Houston. But she found herself in a difficult race with the powerful state Sen. John Whitmire, also a Democrat. She got the endorsement of Hillary Clinton, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). But even with those heavy hitters coming out for her, she still lost. Badly. Houston held the run-off election on Saturday, and Whitmire just completely trounced Jackson Lee by almost 30 points. Houston, we dodged a problem!...

Matthew 9:35, 10:1, 5a, 6-8 Friends, today Jesus instructs us to pray for laborers for the harvest, for disciples to do the work of evangelization. We need to organize our lives around evangelization. Everything we do ought to be related somehow to it. This doesn’t mean that we all have to become professional evangelizers. Remember, you can evangelize by the moral quality of your life. But it does mean that nothing in our lives ought to be more important than announcing the victory of Jesus.We should think of others not as objects to be used, or annoying people in the...

New medical research suggests that owning a cat could double the risk of developing schizophrenia. To reach that conclusion, scientists in Australia analyzed 17 studies published over the last 44 years from 11 different countries, including the US and the UK. “Our findings support an association between cat exposure and an increased risk of broadly defined schizophrenia-related disorders,” the authors wrote in their analysis, published in the journal Schizophrenia Bulletin. “We found that individuals exposed to cats had approximately twice the odds of developing schizophrenia,” wrote the research team from the Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research. Schizophrenia is a...
