The mask is off, the revolution inside the Democrat Party complete: the red fascists have won and they now have two of their people as the candidates for the party. In the 1920s, a term was coined that is very appropriate for what is taking place in America today: red fascism. It was a term that likely originated with an Italian anarchist, Luigi Fabbri, who wrote in 1922 that “‘red fascists’ is the name that has recently been given to those Bolshevik communists who are most inclined to espouse fascism’s methods for use against their adversaries.” This description and behavior...

After decades in public life as a prosecutor, senator and vice president, Kamala Harris has a long track that could provide fodder for opponents. The Trump campaign could focus on her reputation as a liberal senator, her support for the chaos of Black Lives Matter protests, or a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. But the issue that could hurt her most is her support for a bail fund blamed for freeing a man who went on to commit murder, according to our exclusive poll of likely voters.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump was “often engaged in racial arson.” Host Jake Tapper said, “I wanted to get your reaction to something President Trump said recently about vice president harris and her race at an event for black journalists take a listen.” At a NAJB event in July, Trump said, “I didn’t know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black. So I don’t know.”

The figure is an 143 percent leap from the 8,353 in the same period last year. Almost 90 percent of those for sale are in buildings more than 30 years old. Under the new guidelines, condos older than 30 years or more than three stories will require increased inspections from December 31.

Special Dispatch to the New-York Times. WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Aug. 17. The operations of the force on the north bank of the James River continue to develop in the most suspicious manner. The manoeuvres of Monday resulted in turning the rebel fortifications; and, yesterday morning, when our forces advanced, they found that the enemy had fallen back during the night, and had thrown up defences in a position naturally stronger than the one they had been driven from. The day has opened with a brilliant prospect of success. GREGG's cavalry rested their right on the Charles City Road, to protect the...

Focus will be split when the Democratic National Convention arrives in Chicago. Inside the United Center, attendees and TV viewers will be glued to the Harris-Walz ticket. But when cameras pan outside, eyes will shift to protesters. Protest groups have been gearing up for months to take advantage of the attention coming to Chicago. They have planned at least seven large demonstrations, with more rallies unsanctioned by the city likely to come. ...

The socialists funneling ideas to Harris have put together an economic plan redolent of Venezuela or, indeed, the Soviet Union. Don’t cry for me, Argentina. Cry for Kamala the Kamunist. It took them a while, it’s true, but at least Argentina has someone with a rudimentary knowledge of economics in charge. Indeed, Javier Milei, one of my favorite leaders on the world stage today (along with Viktor Orbán, Benjamin Netanyahu, Georgia Meloni, and Nayib Bukele) is a Trump-like dynamo. If I had a more developed entrepreneurial bent, I would try marketing a line of Milei chainsaws in the United States....

When Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the US Congress at the end of July, he named four Israeli soldiers who he said had been heroes since Hamas’s October 7 massacre. The first of the troops was young Israel Defense Forces officer 2nd Lt. Avichail Reuven, who ran 12 kilometers (8 miles) to the Gaza border on that Saturday to help fight off the terrorists. Reuven was at his parents’ home in the southern city of Kiryat Malachi on October 7 when he was awakened by sirens. He was still in the midst of officer training at the time, but after...

Ramsey County District Court Judge John Guthmann in 2022 admonished Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) for making “inaccurate” and “false” statements in claiming he forced the governor to continue making payments to the scandal-ridden Feeding Our Future nonprofit, which is at the center of a scheme to steal $250 million from a coronavirus-era welfare program. Breitbart News reported about how Gov. Walz’s lax oversight of a federal food aid program led to dozens of Somali migrants stealing $250 million for a program meant for children in need. In September 2022, the Justice Department charged 47 Somali immigrants in Minnesota with stealing...

Getting tens of thousands of dollars in student debt canceled isn’t guaranteeing an immediately better financial life for Americans. So far, about 943,000 people have had their loans eliminated through the federal government’s Public Service Loan Forgiveness plan, with balances averaging $72,000 when they are cleared. Nearly two million more had their student debt erased through programs for disabled borrowers or under income-driven repayment plans. An additional 1.3 million borrowers with $20 billion in loans have been approved for discharge through a program aimed at students who were misled by their colleges about things like job prospects. Many more are...

Rebellion takes many forms. Counterculture movements tend to try to go against social norms and household values that teens especially might see as restrictive. But in China, a new type of rebellion is taking place. People are simply giving up and embracing a low-pressure lifestyle. This is part of the “lie flat” movement, where young people are refusing to compete, refusing to push themselves, and oftentimes refusing to work or study. And for the Chinese Communist Party, this represents a type of quiet rebellion against the high-pressure system that is nearly impossible to quell. We’ll discuss in this episode of...

The ascension of Kamala Harris to the top of the Democratic ticket has bolstered the party’s chances of keeping control of the White House for another four years, but the effect on House races is much less clear. Since replacing President Biden as the Democrats’ likely nominee, the vice president has delivered a bolt of energy to a deflated base, sparking a boost in grassroots enthusiasm, a spike in campaign fundraising and fresh hopes that Democrats can keep former President Trump from a second term. But if the roster change has shifted the electoral college and other state-level races towards...

A New York Times reporter in Australia leaked the names of Jews in Australia on a WhatsApp group that was then leaked to pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel activists who “doxxed” and targeted them for harassment and vandalism. The Wall Street Journal reported: Early this year, the contents of a WhatsApp group for Jewish creative professionals and academics, set up in Australia after the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel, leaked and fell into the hands of pro-Palestinian activists. The activists posted snippets on social media, along with the names, photos and social-media page links of many of the group’s 600-odd members. Before long,...

Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia have issued a chilling warning: they're prepared to send troops into Ukraine without NATO approval. Fearing Russia's growing aggression, these Baltic nations see themselves as next in line. With historical ties to the Soviet Union and recent Russian threats, they're taking matters into their own hands. Will NATO step in? Or will the Baltics become the first domino to fall?

When is a mishap not really a mishap?NASA has continued to twist itself into a pretzel over whether Boeing's CST-100 Starliner – now two months past its original return date – can be used to bring back its crew to Earth and whether a failure to do so would be classed as a mishap. The briefing, which did not feature any Boeing personnel, hinted at the turmoil behind the scenes at the US space agency as staffers grapple with the problem of Starliner's problematic thrusters amid the knowledge that a proven and operational spacecraft, in the form of the Crew...

Hamas politburo member Osama Hamdan abruptly ended a CNN interview Saturday after correspondent Jim Sciutto asked him if the terror group accepts responsibility for the deaths of Palestinian civilians due to its use of civilian infrastructure in the war sparked by its October 7 onslaught. Before Hamdan shut down the conversation, Sciutto tried, unsuccessfully, to get the Doha-based representative to respond to quotes from Palestinians in Gaza blaming Hamas for the destruction there. Hamdan accused Sciutto, who was reporting from Tel Aviv, of toeing Israel’s line on the war. “Does Hamas today regret the October 7 terror attacks?” Sciutto asked....

Don Lemon was in for a rude awakening when he decided to interview people in New Jersey about who they would be voting for in the 2024 election.

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday repeatedly swerved from a message focused on the economy into non-sequiturs and personal attacks, including declaring several times that he was better looking than Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump wound back and forth between hitting his points on economic policy and delivering a smattering of insults and impressions of President Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron as he held a rally in northeastern Pennsylvania. The former president has seemed to struggle to adjust to his new opponent after Democrats replaced their nominee. Over the past week, he has diverged during campaign appearances away from...

The Chicago DNC Convention is on. Comparisons to the last Chicago DNC Convention back in 1968 make Democrats nervous. Convention-goers are being told not to use their real names when checking in for fear of being targeted. Law enforcement assures Chicagoans and the country that they have everything under control. They don’t. Ferguson, Minneapolis, New York City, San Francisco, and almost every Democrat-controlled city are tinderboxes waiting for the match. Whether the issue was BLM, organized theft, Hamas, or just plain wilding in the streets tangentially connected to Use of Force incidents by the police, the purveyors of violence know...
