Look to the moral foundations formed from the beginning.“They are programmed…,” Soviet defector and ex-KGB man Yuri Bezmenov warned decades ago about the ideologues we call “leftists.” “You cannot change their mind…. You are stuck with them.” It’s common for people to say today when contrasting our two major ideological groups, “Conservatives think leftists are misguided; leftists think conservatives are evil.” I, though, am different. I know leftists are evil. That is, practically speaking. Theologically speaking, I’m not judging their souls or inborn nature. Putting it plainly, however, and alluding to the reality that leftists have embraced evil, I will...

In an age of rage, it is often difficult to stand out in the mob as so many pander to the perpetually irate. However, New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie has found a way to win the race to the bottom. In a posting on Bluesky, Bouie mocked the account of the addiction of the mother of Vice President J.D. Vance, saying that she should have sold her son for drugs. Bouie used Bluesky (the digital safe zone for the viewpoint intolerant on the left) to post one of the most reprehensible attacks on Vance. Bouie wrote that “this is...

New York City hasn’t had a trash pickup for 1/3rd of Mamdani’s term. New York City would smell worse than it does if it weren’t so cold. And if it weren’t so cold.&br>

Few things better exemplify the inability of the left to tolerate contrary viewpoints than the recent struggle session framed as an "Internal Town Hall" when CNN CEO Mark Thompson was confronted by leftist staffers who claimed they were offended by the existence on their network of conservative commentator Scott Jennings.It seems they agreed with recent NewsNight guest Cameron Kasky, who arrogantly declared to Jennings that he was somehow not permitted to use the term "illegal alien" despite the fact it is a legal term written into immigration law.

[Catholic Caucus] Dutch Bishop Mutsaerts condemns liberal theology as ‘danger from within’ the ChurchReferencing Hilaire Belloc, Bishop Mutsaerts warns the Church is being undermined by theologians who no longer believe in conversion or sin.Dutch Bishop Robert Mutsaerts has criticized liberal theology as a great “danger that comes from within” to the Catholic Church.In an article on his blog published in early January, the auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of ‘s-Hertogenbosch cited Catholic author Hilaire Belloc, who wrote that he did not fear “’the barbarians at the gates,’ but rather the danger that comes from within.”“I would now like to address...

[Catholic Caucus] Cardinals’ letter against Trump’s foreign policy is a blatant political attackCardinals Cupich, McElroy, and Tobin speak of their concern for ‘religious liberty’ and ‘the right to life’ after years of silence under the Biden administration, even when it spied on Catholics and locked up pro-lifers.By now it shouldn’t be surprising when Catholic clergy counter-signal President Trump. It happened first when Pope Francis attacked him for wanting to build a border wall in 2016. It happened in December of last year when Leo indirectly rebuked him for his peace plan in Ukraine, which he said would “break apart” the...

As usual the local Kommunists in our sainted "town" are promulgating this nonsense "protest".

Some celebrities donned anti-ICE pins at the Golden Globes on Sunday in tribute to Renee Good, who was shot and killed in her car by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer this week in Minneapolis. The black-and-white pins displayed slogans like “BE GOOD” and “ICE OUT,” introducing a political angle into the awards show after last year’s relatively apolitical ceremony. Mark Ruffalo wore one such pin on the red carpet, and other celebrities were expected to have them on display as well.

Finland's prime minister apologised on Wednesday to citizens of Japan, China and South Korea after MPs sparked outrage by posting pictures of themselves making derogatory squinting gestures. The parliamentarians from the populist Finns Party, which is part of the right-wing coalition government, posted images on social media where they pulled back the corners of their eyes -- widely seen as a racist gesture targeting East Asian people. They claimed to have shared the pictures in support of the 2025 Miss Finland, Sarah Dzafce, who was stripped of her title last week for posting a similar picture on social media in...

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been heckled and booed on his return to Bondi Beach for a vigil, the first time he has visited since a brief visit on Monday morning. A National Day of Reflection is being held today to honor the victims of the terrorist attack at Bondi Beach, on a night that should have been the final night of Hanukkah.

Canada’s governing Liberals were one seat short of a simple majority in Parliament after a Conservative lawmaker defected and joined Prime Minister Mark Carney’s party Thursday. Michael Ma was the second Canadian Conservative opposition lawmaker to join the Liberals in just over a month. Ma, who represents Markham–Unionville, said he entered politics “to focus on solutions, not division.” “I have concluded that Prime Minister Mark Carney is offering the steady, practical approach we need to deliver on the priorities I hear every day while door knocking in Markham–Unionville,” Ma said in his statement. His move puts the Liberals one seat...

VIDEOThe reactions of liberals to the White House meeting between President Donald Trump and Zohran Mamdani are HILARIOUS. Apparently they are completely unaware of two books: "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu or "The Art of the Deal" by You-Know-Who. As a result, as you can see, they believe that Mamdani has the supernatural power to bewitch Trump into completely flipping a supposedly weak minded Trump into believing that Socialism as proposed by Mamdani is a great thing. As the cameo commentary by Michael Corleone in this video reveals, the poor shmoes were laughably unable to see what was...

In the grand theater of American decline, there are few characters so destructive as the Affluent White Female Liberal (AWFL), a suburban archetype with a Prius, a “Coexist” bumper sticker, and an unquenchable thirst for moral superiority. From the San Francisco Bay Area to the halls of Democrat power, these women, often secular, privileged, are kicking out the pillars upholding our society. Their hyper-liberal zeal promotes family breakdown, political alienation, cultural Marxism, and racial division, all while patting themselves on the back for “saving” the world. It would be funny if it weren’t so dangerous — the irony that the...

A Kennebunk, Maine, town official has stepped down from her liaison role with the local school board after facing backlash for suggesting that critics of a transgender athlete policy have "pedophilic tendencies." Vice Chair Leslie Trentalange, who serves on the Kennebunk Select Board, made the comments during an Oct. 20 Regional School Unit (RSU) 21 meeting that focused on the district’s transgender-student athlete policy. The policy, consistent with state law, allows students to join sports teams and use facilities matching their gender identity. Parents and community members across Maine have protested similar policies, arguing they violate Title IX protections Trentalange,...

Would Sydney Sweeney care to explain herself to the lunatic scolds? No, she would not — and thank goodness for that. The starlet, who is promoting her new movie, “Christy,” sat down with GQ for a new interview in which she was shamed for — possibly, maybe — holding conservative views. The writer tried to coax some sort of mea culpa from Sweeney for starring in a punny American Eagle ad in which she invoked her “great jeans” and showed off her famous cleavage. The summer campaign was based on an iconic 1980s Calvin Klein ad in which Brooke Shields...

Nova Scotia MP Chris d'Entremont resigned from the Conservative caucus Tuesday — and he's joining the Liberals. In a statement disseminated by the Liberal Party, d'Entremont said he decided to leave the Conservatives after "serious consideration and thoughtful conversations with constituents." "I came to a clear conclusion: there is a better path forward for our country — and a better path forward for Acadie-Annapolis," he said. D'Entremont won that rural Nova Scotia riding by about one percentage point over his Liberal opponent in the spring federal election.

A group of liberals calling themselves no fascism.org has put out a call for 1,000,000 people to surround the white house on November 5 to protest against President Trump and demand his immediate removal from the presidency. I'm pretty sure that I know why they chose November 5... "Remember remember the 5th of November The Gunpowder Treason and Plot I know of no reason the Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot...."

The left has completed its masturbatory "No Kings" day exercise, once again failing to recognize that Kings would not allow such a spectacle. They used violence as a means to confront alleged violence. In a display of tolerance, they chased and harassed anyone from the right just trying to cover the event. They outright called for violence And murder Another protester assured that given the chance he'd kill Stephen Miller And the ultimatum was remove Trump...or else And just in case Trump is not "removed" they're teaching their kids to kill him instead. A schoolteacher mocked Charlie Kirk's death They...

Sorry, Facebook friend says "fact-check", "it's a thing", and I don't have time for that. What do you think of these claims about how "cruel" and "horrible" Trump's raids are? I'll include another ass who posted her claims too. Of course they cry "racism" and of course, are very non-self-aware regarding "DISGUSTING, DESPICABLE" and "classy" when it comes to supporting endless riots!

Some of Christianne Amanpour echo chamber and her own sick propaganda since genocidal "Palestinian" Islamic-terror regime Hamas Oct 7 atrocities.Christiane Amanpour's coverage since the barbaric October 7, 2023, [beginning as it was happening], "Palestine" Hamas atrocities—where the genocidal Islamist terror regime slaughtered 1,200 innocent Israelis, including babies and Holocaust survivors, and took 251 hostages, and the declared aim to murder as many as possible —has devolved into a toxic echo chamber of her own twisted, anti-Israel propaganda. Far from objective journalism, her program has become a platform for laundering Hamas's blood libels, moral equivocation, and outright distortions that shield the...
