"Tell me who Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was," Yura, a character in Vladimir Sorokin's short story "The Red Pyramid," asks a man who mysteriously appears at a train station. The stranger responds, "The man who called forth the pyramid of the red roar." The pyramid, the man continues, is the "source of the endless red roar." Visible to a select few, it "emits a different kind of sound wave" in order to "infect the world to destroy mankind's intrinsic structure." Sorokin, a modern Russian writer, who in this short story takes on the subject of communism and its legacy in modern...

It’s important to understand that this is a revolutionary moment in American history, and it isn’t a bad idea to act in ways that would fall under the traditional description of “accordingly.” But it’s also important to understand that the revolution taking place in America is not yet a “kinetic” one. That may come soon, or it may not. The battle taking place presently is a war of information — or disinformation, as the case may be. And the revolution is a Marxist revolution. You should make no mistake about that. The groups fomenting it, the intellectuals promoting it, and...

Seattle has long been a hotbed of crime under Democrat rule, but things have gotten so bad recently that business leaders are publicly demanding change. Seattle has long been a hotbed of crime, open-air drug use, and other antisocial behaviors thanks to the city’s left-wing governance. But things have gotten shockingly worse in recent months following the election of socialist Mayor Katie Wilson last year – so bad, in fact, that major businesses are now publicly pressuring the government to do something about the city’s descent into lawlessness and chaos. On September 10, more than 30 major Seattle companies, including...

Raymond Eugene Chandler III has been charged with Influencing, Impeding or Retaliating against a Federal Official by Threatening a Family Member and Influencing, Impeding or Retaliating against a Federal Official by Threat, according to an unsealed affidavit from May 1. One voicemail message Chandler allegedly sent to the unnamed member of Congress graphically depicts a scenario Chandler hoped the congressman would imagine where wealth protestors have surrounded his home before "they slit your throat and they slit your daughter’s throat and they slit everyone’s throat." Authorities say that Chandler left a second message to the congressman, saying: "You've probably getting...

A 21-year-old man barely survived after he was shot three times during an encounter with a ‘street takeover’ in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood last weekend. Matthew Lanske and his friends had just finished dinner in Belltown when they were confronted by a group of armed thugs participating in a ‘street takeover.’ Lanske was shot twice in the stomach and a third time in the pelvis during an attempted robbery as he heroically tried to protect his friend, who tragically died. After being shot three times, Lanske walked two blocks looking for help. Bystanders filmed him rather than calling 911 for help....

The Democratic nominee for Senate in Arkansas, Hallie Shoffner, raised money in the summer of 2020 for a "racial and social justice" bail fund founded by a left-wing activist who was later sentenced to 17 months in prison for her role in a series of firebombing attacks on police cars in Little Rock. Shoffner and the family farming company she ran at the time, SFR Seed, donated flowers to a jewelry store in Little Rock, Bella Vita Jewelry, that in turn sold bouquets to raise money for the Little Rock Freedom Fund. The store's owner posed with Shoffner as she...

You know him. He wears Jesus sandals, drinks Hennessy, still smokes menthol Kools, and has been saying “How ’bout them Cowboys?” since Jerry Jones had hair. The Cowboys aren’t just his favorite football team. They are part of his identity. And he is not alone. The Undefeated noted that the Cowboys’ iconic brand was “largely bolstered by their Black fans,” particularly through stars like Bob Hayes, Tony Dorsett and Emmitt Smith. But we need to have a family meeting. Because, Black folks, it is past time ya’ll break up with the Cowboys.

PHOENIX — Vandals have defaced the statue honoring Charlie Kirk. Red paint was sprayed across parts of the statue standing outside Turning Point headquarters in Phoenix. The piece of art was unveiled a year after the activist was assassinated while he was talking to college students in Utah. No information on when the statue was vandalized or who the possible suspects are.

The University of Tennessee-Knoxville is condemning messages that celebrate political violence after mysterious "Kirkaversery" [sic] flyers advertised a gathering apparently marking one year since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, declaring, "WE WILL CELEBRATE THE FIRST NEW YEAR AK (AFTER KIRK)." The flyers, images of which circulated widely on social media and by Libs of TikTok, advertise an 8 p.m. Sept. 10 gathering on the HSS Lawn at UT Knoxville. But the university told Fox News Digital that it is not sponsoring an event related to Kirk’s assassination and that no organization has registered to use the location for such a gathering. A...

Roy Cooper, the former Democrat governor of North Carolina now running for Senate, added an ex-member of the notorious Bloods gang to a Racial Equity in Criminal Justice task force in 2020. In the wake of George Floyd's 2020 death, Cooper created the task force via executive order, The Washington Free Beacon reported. Cooper, who tapped then-state attorney general turned current Gov. Josh Stein to lead the task force, stocked the panel with a mix of state officials and community activists, including Kerwin Pittman, who was convicted in 2007 of conspiracy to commit murder, serving 14 years in prison for...

The United Nations has decided that Britain has not grovelled enough. After years of toppled statues, boarded-up war memorials and official lectures about “colonialism,” a UN human-rights committee now wants the country that ended the Atlantic slave trade to fill its public squares with statues of “people of African descent,” The globalist body also suggests Britain should rewrite what children are taught, and treat historic slavery as a live brief for migration policy and hate-speech enforcement. This comes in the form of formal “reparatory justice” guidance from the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, published six months after...

The left-wing Guardian newspaper documented how “pro-choice militants” conducted terroristic attempts at intimidation from New York and North Carolina to Wisconsin, Texas and Washington state in recent years. “The methods have been extreme,” the report noted; “vandals have thrown Molotov cocktails, committed arson, damaged property and made threats.” Jane’s Revenge issued a statement demanding “anti-choice establishments” shut down in 30 days or face further violence. That was in 2022 — yet the group continued operating, until its website went dark just days ago thanks to President Donald Trump’s crackdown on terrorist infrastructure. Jane’s Revenge and various other radical organizations, including...

“On August 23, 2026, a video titled "Where to Kill Barron Trump" was posted by Tebyan.net (Iran) presenting operational guidance for assassinating Barron Trump, son of President Donald Trump, presumably as a result of "unprecedented infiltration, through a girl who had sat for a 58 minute private meeting with Barron Trump, bypassing Secret Service Protocols.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and the IRS could revoke the tax-free status of left-wing nonprofits such as George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations, three sources familiar with the matter have told The Post.It is part of a Trump-backed crackdown on “bogus” charities, *** Bessent’s inner circle is drafting a blueprint that could ultimately strip non-compliant organizations of their 501(c)(3) status, according to two of the people familiar with the plans. The reviews could result in massive back payments and civil penalties, the same sources said. The initiative leans in part...

On Monday, at a get out the vote event in Sun Prairie, a blue-leaning suburb of Madison, Hong was confronted over her past views. “You know, I was actually trying to become a sports journalist when I first went to college. So I learned then you have some hot takes, sometimes bad takes on Twitter, and I let my feelings out into the world,” Hot takes, huh? Like Stephen A. Smith spouting off about the Cowboys? Or your friend who likes Nickelback? The hot takes fired off by Hong earlier in her thirties — the ones she’s halfheartedly walked back...

MADISON, Wis. - The state Assembly passed a resolution Tuesday to honor prominent black Americans during Black History Month in February — but only after Republicans blocked it until black Democratic lawmakers agreed to remove the name of quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Democratic Rep. David Crowley of Milwaukee, who authored the resolution, called the episode "a textbook example of white privilege" and a "slap in the face." "Many of these people that you don’t agree with will still be in the history books that your children and grandchildren will be reading," Crowley said on the Assembly floor. Kaepernick, who was born...
