"There are very, very few people in the West who seriously believe that".. The Associated Press complains that President Trump is calling their political allies “Communists”. For years, President Donald Trump blamed “communists” for his legal and political troubles. Now, the second Trump administration is deploying that same historically loaded label to cast his opponents — from judges to educators — as threats to American identity, culture and values. In 2025, communism wields big influence in countries such as China, Vietnam, North Korea and Cuba. But not the United States. “The core of communism is the belief that governments can...

For years, President Donald Trump blamed “communists” for his legal and political troubles. Now, the second Trump administration is deploying that same historically loaded label to cast his opponents — from judges to educators — as threats to American identity, culture and values.Why? Trump himself explained the strategy last year when he described how he planned to defeat his Democratic opponent, then-Vice President Kamala Harris, in the White House election.“All we have to do is define our opponent as being a communist or a socialist or somebody who is going to destroy our country,” he told reporters at his New...

Friday, during Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) discussed the difficulty of working with people on the other side of the aisle when their political beliefs and ambitions are not compatible with reality. The Oklahoma Republican said the hurdles included Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) beliefs in socialism and Sen. Chris Murphy’s (D-CT) presidential ambitions. “Now, the delusion among the leading Democratic Party is almost hard to believe,” host Sean Hannity said. “Why can’t they just be honest with the American people? I don’t know. That would be refreshing. Here to help answer that...

A leading conservative international policy think tank is castigating Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum for trying to replicate in the West a CCP-style, high-tech, totalitarian system in which "a small group of elites bark orders and ordinary citizens dutifully obey." Gatestone Institute writer J.B. Shurk states in an essay published Friday that it is "bizarre ... to see so many international institutions today looking to China for global guidance." Shurk singles out WEF chair and founder Schwab of "Great Reset" notoriety, who "routinely applauds China's surveillance State for its capacity to 'nudge' citizens toward compliance." "It is deeply...

"We have a son named Jesus Ernesto. The first name is for Jesus Christ and the second for Ernesto Che Guevara…an exemplary revolutionary who gave his life for his ideals.” (Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador, May 17, 2017.) “For the Chicano Movement …the Cuban Revolution of 1959 stood as a Latino revolutionary influence that told Chicanos that they could also struggle against their own internal colonized status within the U.S. and to achieve their own self-determination. Images of Fidel Castro and especially those of Che Guevara became standard for the Chicano Movement.” “Mexicans are mostly a rabble of illiterate Indians”...

There's a socialist wave in Latin America. Mexico, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil recently elected leftists. These politicians at least distance themselves from thugs like Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, but all propose socialism-lite policies giving government more control over more people. Why don't people in Latin America learn from the mistakes of the past? Gloria Alvarez, a social media star from Guatemala, is running for president of her country to try to educate people about the damage socialism does. People do need educating. "It's like Stockholm syndrome," says Alvarez in my new video. "When you ask people, 'Who should...

Who really cared about Jeffrey Epstein? He was, above all, a bipartisan pedophilic blackmailer, and his client lists are, and shall remain, buried in the deepest vaults of the Uniparty. Among the powerful elite of both parties, Epstein's awkward passing was clucked about all around D.C., with great indignation, loudly, as to drown out a communal sigh of relief. A finding of suicide, no matter how absurdly improbable, was broadly proclaimed to be a certainty. But, while the brand of bipartisanship found among established Republicans in Washington (defined as we-pretend-to-compromise-while-you-win) cannot embrace Donald Trump any more than the Democrats can,...

There were supposed dramatics and import with the delivery of the news, and for those who are headline readers, this might have appeared to carry all of the expected melodrama. The Florida Democratic Chairperson was arrested late on April 3, but that jarring announcement and any political import attached to it were all dissipated once the details came to light and we learned what actually transpired. Just the fact that the name Nikki Fried was involved should have been the reason for any proper-thinking person to pause, but we live in an era ruled by emotions and political hysteria. Fried...

If there is some good news out there, count on some leftists to come along and take a huge dump on it. It’s what they do – they are the nail in the tire of your homecoming float, the rock you twist your ankle on while taking the field for the Super Bowl, the open-mouth belch during a moment of silence. Only miserable human beings could be such a destructive force every single time there is something that could actually unite Americans, because unity is kryptonite to the progressive movement. Honestly, if 9/11 happened today it would take about 5...

The country’s eyes are trained on high-profile massacres in Texas and Buffalo, but most mass shootings bear little resemblance to those. Of 267 incidents this year classified as mass shootings by the Gun Violence Archive, nearly all can be tied to gang beefs, neighborhood arguments, robberies or domestic incidents that spiraled out of control. Indiscriminate slaughter by a lone gunman blasting away at a store, school or some other public place is rare, according to a Washington Times analysis of the archive’s data, accounting for less than 4% of the total. The lower-profile shootings involve significant carnage, and all have...

“As told by (Che Guevara biographer Oesterheld) in the graphic biography “Life of Che,” Guevara’s story is about values far deeper than communism — the same values that, in fact, have inspired people around the world to express support for Ukraine,” writes Etelka Lehoczky in The New York Times this week. “Oesterheld’s Guevara calls for economic and political fairness, self-determination for little countries and the need to keep big countries in check,” continues the glowing review of a recently unearthed biography of dead communist terrorist Che Guevara by dead communist terrorist Héctor Germán Oesterheld, who was presumably “disappeared” during Argentina’s...

Democrats in Congress have proposed a plan that would declare an unconditional "war" on "racism," and fund it with $70 billion for a new, Cabinet-level "Department of Reconciliation." The National Pulse has posted online an image of the proposed resolution that is being supported by a couple dozen Democrats already. A summary explains the plan is to be "declaring unconditional war on racism and invidious discrimination and providing for the establish of a Cabinet-level Department of Reconciliation charged with eliminating racism and invidious discrimination." The plan likens itself to President Lyndon Johnson's "war on poverty," a move that over the...

The following article is Sponsored by The Centennial Institute at Colorado Christian University and written by Jeff Hunt. The American West has always exuded a spirit of rugged individualism, united by the common bonds of hard work and dedication to faith, family, and freedom. However, that spirit is quickly disappearing as political ideologies shift to the left, threatening the very essence of what makes the West great. The change began on the coast, with California, Oregon, and Washington – once the very definition of the great American West – falling to leftist ideologies. At first it seemed like a joke;...

“China & Russia are laughing their asses off watching CIA go full woke.”Cisgender." "Intersectional." It's like the Babylon Bee is handling CIA's commercials. If you think about it, wokeness is the kind of twisted PSYOP a spy agency would invent to destroy a country from the inside out.” -- Donald Trump Jr. tweet. About China and Russia’s current intelligence agents laughing at the CIA’s Babylon Bee-like imbecilities we can guess. But about Russia and Cuba’s we can actually watch, and perhaps laugh ourselves, to keep from crying. To wit: Nikolai Leonev was the KGB’s top agent in Latin America during...

Buoyed by a large budget surplus and swimming in federal pandemic recovery money, California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday proposed $12 billion to get more people experiencing homelessness off the streets and into homes of their own. Newsom’s proposal includes $8.75 billion over two years to create an estimated 46,000 housing units, expanding on a program he launched last year to convert motels and other properties into housing. Nearly half the money would go toward housing in places where people with mental health and other behavioral issues can get services onsite. Newsom also proposed spending $3.5 billion on rental subsidies,...

What ultimately ended the nihilist Soviet system? Was it not that Russians finally tired of the Kremlin’s lies and hypocrisies that permeated every facet of their falsified lives? Here are 10 symptoms of Sovietism. Ask yourself whether we are headed down this same road to perdition. (List below)

Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a domestic terrorist group, that has done more to factually harm and promote the regressive rejection of modernity than the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) did in an 86-year period, and that includes being responsible for the deaths of black people. From 1882 to 1968, there were 3,446 blacks lynched in America by the Democrat-controlled terrorist group. BLM exists to extort massive sums of money and blackmail corporate America into doing the bidding of the rabid, demonic hordes holding elected office and the satanic demigods existing in the political shadow world, who fund and dictate the...

Now that the über-left are in control of this nation, Americans – including leftists – are beginning to see what's in store for us. The result is massive voter remorse for many people who voted for Biden for no other reason than to stick it to Trump. The radical left has openly declared war on America. It is ruthlessly attacking our history, culture, faith, populace, books, games, language, race relations, schools and freedoms. They are not even pretending to be guided by the Constitution and Bill of Rights anymore. Yet ironically, it also means their greedy power-mad totalitarian strategies are...

(No search results) People hate America's big disparities in wealth. It's a reason why, among young people, socialism is as popular as capitalism. The Democratic Socialists of America want a country based on "freedom, equality and solidarity." That sure sounds good. But does socialism bring that? My new video debunks several myths about socialism. One reason for socialism's continued appeal is linguist Noam Chomsky. For generations, his work has taught students that capitalism is "a grotesque catastrophe." I assumed the fall of the Soviet Union would put an end to such misinformation. It did -- for about a month. But...

President-elect Joe Biden said Americans will get $2,000 stimulus checks if Democrats win both Georgia runoffs. During a Monday rally in Atlanta, Biden said the payments would “go out the door immediately” if Jon Ossoff and the Rev. Raphael Warnock win the state’s U.S. Senate seats, saying their victories would “put an end to the block in Washington” on approving the $2,000 payments.
