“Seditious Six” Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) is no longer in contrition mode after exposing herself to scrutiny for openly plotting a post-election coup against the duly elected president and his supporters. Rather, she is doubling down, and even offering a sneak preview of what’s to come by acknowledging her recent pow-wows in European countries that are likewise attempting to meddle in or overturn elections with help from oligarchs like the Soros family. As exposed by our colleagues at Townhall, Slotkin recently boasted about a visit to Budapest, which succeeded in ousting Trump-allied President Viktor Orbán in April, in an election...

A liberal journalist goes to Cuba expecting to document Trump’s damage. The Cubans have other ideas. Worth's questions about American policy produced another revealing exchange. During nine days of travel, he had not met a single person who blamed Donald Trump or the United States for their situation. He sometimes reminded people about the blockade and asked whether conditions had worsened. Retired engineer Guillermo Almeida told him he saw no change since January. Venezuelan oil, he explained, had not been reaching ordinary Cubans anyway. Another man offered a concise explanation: “It seems to us that the real embargo is inside...

On his Truth Social site, President Trump has been praising the quality of RSBN's coverage at his rallies. . So I searched for recent RSBN YouTubes. And found a terrific interview with a regular MAGA guy attending the Port Huron, MI event. He brought his own sign to the rally saying, "You got to be a Fool to Vote for Abdul." His 9 minutes of informal Q&A from the RSBN reporter cut to the chase. So well done! I simply reformatted the transcript a bit. But check out the YouTube at the link... 0:00 RSBN: Sir, can you tell us...

Thousands of Lula's supporters have spilled out onto the streets of São Paulo, celebrating his win - here are the latest pictures from the scene.Lula has been addressing his supporters in São Paulo and thanking them for their support, which he said made it possible for him to recover from his defeat in the first round of the election to go on to win in the run-off.

A friend and advisor to socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani met with the president of Cuba during a luxe trip to the communist nation — where they conspired to subvert US foreign policy, according to a since-deleted travel diary obtained by The Post. Danny Valdez, who hosted a fundraiser for Mamdani’s mayoral campaign in 2025, traveled to Cuba with a delegation from the DSA International Committee from Oct. 22 to Oct. 26, 2023, according to the Nov. 9, 2023 blog post, entitled “The Cuba Diaries.” The delegation met with President Miguel Diaz-Canel on the third day of the...

From Lenin and Stalin to today’s radical left, the history of communism reveals a recurring pattern of false promises, political repression, and revolutionary violence. Marxists have long used verbal and historical misrepresentations to convince non-communists to support them and their positions. As Vladimir Lenin reportedly said, “there are no morals in politics; there is only expedience.” An early master of disinformation was a young German, Willi Münzenberg, who led the Communist International’s (Comintern’s) propaganda effort in the West in the 1920s and early 1930s. Münzenberg called the deceptive organizations he created to advance Soviet interests “Innocents’ Clubs”—for the gullibility of...

Americans who were asked for their opinions of socialism by Fox News Digital offered sharply different interpretations of the ideology, with some embracing its promises of economic equality while others expressed strong reservations about government control over the means of production. Fox News Digital took to the streets of Maine's largest city, a progressive bastion, to talk to residents about their definitions of socialism and how far they would be willing to go to embrace its ideals. The topic of socialism has featured prominently in campaign coverage during this midterm election cycle, as candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of...

Jimmy Carter, who is in hospice care, has many virtues. He was an honorable man who held the country together during the post-Watergate period when many Americans had lost confidence in their national institutions. He was fiscally conservative, a prudent environmentalist, and a populist in his own right. But the notion that human rights were the defining aspect of his foreign policy is simply wrong. Carter was sincere about his ideals, but the mandates of the Cold War caused him to shelve human rights concerns for the sake of power politics.

Everybody with common sense should vote Republican in November! If you don't believe me, just listen to this.. No Socialist/Communist!! https://x.com/Jessie63335515/status/2107945260034785312?

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Friday the US is barring all transactions with the International Criminal Court and told America’s allies he expects their help in reining in the “rogue” body. Rubio declared in a statement the US was moving to cripple the court’s economic reach for threatening to bring cases against American troops, border agents and politicians. “For decades now, both Republicans and Democrats have rejected the idea that the International Criminal Court has any power to prosecute American citizens, to prosecute military servicemembers, or political leaders because America never joined the court,” Rubio said in a video...

U.S. — With unrest drawing attention around the globe and the November midterm elections coming up soon, Democrats made it a point to blame President Donald Trump's cuts to USAID for slowing the communist takeover of the West. Though the party's plan to overrun the western world with a deadly combination of leftist politics and Islamic conquest remained alive, Democrats stressed that it had been severely hampered by drastically reduced funding for USAID programs. "We're still trying, but it's making it much more difficult," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said. "Trump has gutted USAID funding for so many causes throughout...

"I will throw you in prison. I want Chinese style communism to happen inside of the democratic party right now. I want to do cultural revolution shit." —Hasan Piker, DSA Spox Translation: Chuck Schumer knows that the Democrats have already been thwarted from rigging the election, from flooding the polls with illegal immigrant voters, with dead voters, with voters who moved out of state but still got mail-in ballots sent to their old addresses, with voters registered as living in Walmart parking lots, and so on. Chuck Schumer knows that the Civil Rights Division of DOJ is sending hundreds of...

President Trump shouldn’t be putting recycled campaign ads on the air paid for by the taxpayers. The spot that aired this weekend is the same core video from a 2024 Trump campaign ad. That is the record. Morning Joe and CNN This Morning treated it with their usual paranoia as a border crossing into dictatorship. Joe Scarborough saw the tag and found Viktor Orbán and Vladimir Putin. “When I saw, at the end of that ad, paid for the U.S. government, that was such an Orban, Putin move.” Scarborough couldn't resist descending into his trademark hyperbole: “This is socialism! This...

In view of the brutal and hellish record of its failed communist messiahs, past and present, it is only right that the ideology and actions of the current government of Cuba be confronted and resisted by the U.S. istorian Paul Johnson, author of Modern Times, described the 1930s as “the age of the heroic lie.” “Saintly mendacity” became its most prized virtue. Stalin’s Soviet Union was built on sanctified fabrications that characterized communist ideology and practice. The creation of Stalin as a communist messianic figure was part of the “saintly mendacity.” Johnson wrote that views of Stalin written in the...

It’s Commie Week for President Trump. First it was New York’s unlovely Mayor Mamdani Trump did the great honor of visiting at Gracie Mansion on Monday. Then on Wednesday the president rolled out the literal red carpet for another Communist dictator, President Xi Jinping of China. Donald Trump and the first lady warmly greeted Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, when they alighted from their plane at Joint Base Andrews and strolled together companionably down the red carpet as a 21-gun salute sounded, followed by the national anthems of both nations. Trump could not resist sending a US Air Force...

At the conference, a CCP official urged America to drop the “enemy narrative” about China. DNC Chairman Emeritus Howard Dean delivered the American welcome address at a China dialogue involving the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, a think tank identified in congressional commission testimony as “run by Chinese intelligence.” The Chinese People’s Association for Peace and Disarmament, which co-organized the event⁠, has an equally explicit allegiance. Its charter⁠ says it: “upholds the comprehensive leadership of the Chinese Communist Party.” According to the American organizer’s account⁠, Dean delivered his welcome virtually on June 23, 2026. The meeting took place in...

Just weeks out from the November midterm elections, a socialist insurgency appears to be taking the Democrat Party by storm. But instead of honestly reporting on this shocking and newsworthy development, the liberal media is instead criticizing Republicans for noticing it. That was the upshot of a New York Times story earlier this month titled “Seeking Jolt, G.O.P. Turns to a New Red Scare.” (Perhaps because of backlash, the Times changed the headline on the online version of the article). The piece cites the warnings of numerous prominent Republicans, such as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and No. 2 House...

Cuba experienced a total power failure Friday, according to the U.S. Embassy in Havana. The embassy said the failure was due to the "collapse of Cuba’s electrical grid." According to Cuban regime media, the reason for the collapse is under investigation and the timeline to restore power is unknown." "All U.S. citizens in Cuba or planning to travel to Cuba should be aware and plan accordingly. There are reports of cellphone and internet outages," the embassy added, noting that Cuba’s electrical grid is "increasingly unstable," which has led to "multiple" nationwide power outages in the last few months.
