If you follow international politics, you've probably heard that the anti-immigration the Alliance for Deutchland (AfD) won the most votes in Thuringia, Germany and very nearly won in Saxony. Commentators have been suggesting that the Christian Democrats will have to choose between aligning with AfD, or once again throwing power to the leftists. Given that the Christian Democrats are basically establishment Republicans, you can guess the choice they keep making. But the mainstream Left has given the Christian Democrats an interesting problem: they don't have the votes. You see, another socialist party has emerged, and taken enough votes to prevent...

This week, South Korea's intelligence services offered a glimpse of the upgraded alliance between Russia and North Korea in action. North Korea has been sending vast shipments of artillery ammunition to Russia, a lifeline in the invasion of Ukraine that has isolated it from much of the world.

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...

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) defended Vice President Harris’s newly unveiled economic agenda, saying it will help ensure the economy is working properly. “I do because I’ve been an attorney general, just like the Vice President, I pursued price gouging statutes and their violations when it comes to the price of gas in Kentucky, and we won and ultimately returned millions of dollars to our people. This isn’t about trying to price fix. It’s just making sure that the economy is operating the way it should, that this is really supply and demand, which we all respect,” he said on...

A man who says he joined Tim Walz on a trip to communist China is speaking out about his experience of traveling to the country with the future vice-presidential candidate. “It was almost a daily revelation of how much he adores the communist regime,” the former student told Alpha News.

CHICAGO — A number of businesses in the city’s business district have covered windows and doors with plywood to better protect the buildings should demonstrations during next week’s Democratic National Convention turn unruly. Crews with a business called Chicago Board Up Services say they’ve boarded up at least a dozen locations around the West Loop, downtown and Daley Plaza and have plans to work on additional businesses weekend. “If you feel you’re in any type of line where you feel there’s going to be a lot of commotion — we’re not pushing it — we’re hoping the city will be...

"I express firm belief that the strong and brave Russian people will firmly defend the sovereign right and security interests of the state and surely win victory in the sacred war for regional peace and international justice," Kim Jong Un said on Thursday, according state news agency KNCA.

The exact circumstances that led to President Joe Biden's dramatic withdrawal from the 2024 election race have been the topic of frenzied conversation for weeks. Ever since Biden tweeted his digitally signed letter announcing the decision on Sunday, June 21, the line from the White House has been clear: The president was not pushed. This was his choice alone. Sympathetic insiders described a weekend of 'reflection' for the president – who had recently tested postive for COVID and was holed up in isolation with his wife Jill and a handful of trusted aides at the Biden family home in Rehoboth...

[Catholic Caucus] Catholics Who Profess Communism are ApostatesOn July 13, 1949, Pope Pius XII issued a decree stating that Catholics who advocate Communism are excommunicated from the Catholic Church. This decree applies today. 1 The decree doesn’t explicitly condemn those who vote for Communists or who support the Communist Party, but excommunicates those who hold to the atheistic doctrines of Communism. The Church judges such persons to be apostates. The 1949 decree 2 was preceded by a previous Vatican decree published by L'Osservatore Romano on July 15, 1948, which excommunicated those who propagate "the materialistic and anti-Christian teachings of Communism."Moreover,...

The desperation of Ukrainian and NATO authorities is full blown and on display in the Kursk region and the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant. If you’re reading the legacy media, they cheering and celebrating the “smashing” Ukrainian victory and the utter embarrassment of Vladimir Putin. Only one teeny, tiny problem — it is bullshit.Yes, this portion of Russia’s border was lightly defended, but when the attack came Russia countered immediately and has killed more than 50% of the invaders. Along with a body count in excess of 1300 Ukrainian and foreign mercenaries, Russia destroyed most of the tanks and armored personnel...

California regulators have proposed a variety of government intrusions into the petroleum industry in order to combat future energy price surges, according to a report released Thursday by the California Energy Commission (CEC). As the Golden State continues to pursue its green agenda, the CEC expects some of California’s nine oil refineries to be shuttered due to falling demand, which would give the remaining refineries increased pricing power and raise the possibility of a surge in gas prices, the study concluded. To solve this problem, the commission proposed a variety of government interventions, including expanded regulation on private refineries, the...

President Donald Trump has warned that the White House is currently being run by a group of “fascists, communists,” and “Marxists.”“I’m the opposite of a threat to democracy — they’re a threat to democracy,” Trump said of Democrats during an interview with Laura Ingraham on her Fox News show.“I mean, look at what they just did.”Trump said on “The Ingraham Angle” that Democrats participated in a “coup” by replacing President Joe Biden at the top of the 2024 ticket.

THOMPSON FALLS — Rod Knutson is hardly the recluse dug up by John McCain’s campaign, as some bloggers and critics of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee contend. The former prisoner of war is a decorated war hero who earned two Silver Stars, served 32 years in the U.S. Navy, moved up the ranks at the Pentagon, lectured at the prestigious Top Gun flight school, wound up in the popular 1986 movie of the same name, lived in as many ports on the West Coast as on the East and after retirement, sailed with his family throughout the Caribbean for 4½...

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, you are watching a Communist battle taking place within a Marxist party. The Democrat party and the media have brought us to this point. 14 million Democrats cast their votes for Biden, millions of dollars were contributed to get Biden the nomination and now they are calling for a mini primary. A mini-primary in which there is no primary, in which the real primary voters are disenfranchised, and the man who was saving democracy and abortion-on-demand is kicked to the curb. Like other Marxist political parties, the civil war within the Democrat Party, between the...

The first grader was banned from recess and drawing pictures at Viejo Elementary in Orange County after she added the words 'any life' below Black Lives Matter on a picture she drew and and gave to a black friend. The picture showed the words 'Black Lives Matter' with four round shapes in various different tones of brown, beige and yellow, which was intended to 'represent her friends' who were 'racially-mixed'.
