California professor and Black Lives Matter activist Milena Abdullah — announced Wednesday as independent presidential candidate Cornel West’s VP pick — has regularly pushed defunding police departments and is on record claiming “virtually everything is racist” — even being a Taylor Swift fan. Abdullah, 51, is the co-founder of the Los Angeles BLM chapter and the former chair of the department of Pan-African Studies at California State University. She, like West, has been outspoken about racial relations in the US. In February, Abdullah said she felt like it was “slightly racist to be a Taylor Swift fan” as the music...

According to West, the new “Justice for All” Party will begin its focus in three states. “In an effort to directly confront the suppression of voter choice and participation by legacy political parties, Independent candidate for President of the United States, Dr. Cornel West, announced the establishment of the Justice For All Party (JFA). The party will primarily be utilized as a grassroots, people-powered vehicle to secure ballot access in specific states. Additionally, JFA will grow into a...

Cliff Kincaid wrote an article for Renew America, titled. 'The communist plot against Trump.' In it, he goes into the special counsel, Jack Smith’s wife, Katie Chevigny. Chevigny is a Biden donor who put together a sympathetic documentary on Michelle Obama. The real story he says, is not Katie Chevigny, but her parents. Kincaid wrote a 12-page special report on them, "The Communists, Globalists, Terrorists, and Fellow Travelers Trying to Jail President Trump". Chevigny’s parents were well-connected to the communist and terrorist movements that backed Barack Hussein Obama. Kincaid says they’re trying to destroy Trump. Her father was a leftist...

Presidential candidates Cornel West and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared differing statements on the attacks on Israel this weekend. Both West, who is running as an independent, and Kennedy Jr., who is seeking the Democratic nomination, uploaded statements after the deadly attacks on Saturday, October 7. In a Saturday post shared on X, formerly Twitter, West said: "The escalation of the barbaric violence in the Middle East must stop. The vicious Israeli occupation and the ugly Palestinian retaliation results in the killing of precious innocent people on both sides. We must have a lasting peace based on justice! #TruthJusticeLove."

Vocal about his opposition to the COVID-19 vaccine, adamant about physical fitness and bearing a historic namesake — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. first posed as an interesting shake-up to the 2024 presidential race after announcing his candidacy in April. But as Kennedy is expected to announce his switch from the Democratic Party to an independent ticket, strategists on both the right and the left are downplaying his impact on the race. Instead, they’re more concerned with a different third-party candidate: Cornel West. West, a prominent left-wing academic and philosophical writer, announced his run for president June 5. The Green Party...

ONCE AGAIN, the rioters are looting and pillaging Ferguson, Missouri. Ferguson However, we don’t believe the protests and riots that ensued were ever about Michael Brown. The entire movement represents a threat to our Republic. Yes, you read that correctly… Those supporting, funding, supplying and organizing the recent race riots are a clear and present danger to the Republic of the United States. If you were watching the news broadcasts about the protests in New York City, you undoubtedly saw many people carrying signs reflecting their beliefs. But wait. The people holding those signs don’t look even barely capable of...

Sometimes, when traveling through the internet, you read something that makes so much sense you think, “Yes, that’s it! That explains so much.” That’s the case for DC Draino’s theory about how the violence on January 6 originated. According to him, we’ve all been missing something right before our eyes. Beginning in the 1960s, leftist protests involved violence. Thus, leftists violently and theatrically protested the Vietnam War: [Numerous video links at source] Even during the Obama administration, violence was always present, as was the case when BLM was ascendent during the George Zimmerman, Michael Brown, and Freddie Gray protests: With...

In the RealClearPolitics (RCP) poll of polls, former President Donald Trump is in a much better position than Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) to beat President Joe Biden.This fact annihilates one of the key arguments against Trump: the idea he has no chance of winning the 2024 general presidential election.In the RCP poll of polls, Biden tops Trump nationally by less than a single percentage point. Currently, His Fraudulency earns 44.6 percent support compared to Trump’s 43.8 percent.What’s more —and this is important — Trump is in better shape against Biden than he ever was during the 2020 election. Throughout that...

A group of communist revolutionaries burned multiple American flags outside a Jason Aldean concert in Chicago on Saturday night, according to videos of the incident. The protesters were raising awareness of RevCom (Revolutionary Communist Party), which believes in creating a Marxist revolution in America, calling the USA "the belly of the beast." The RevCom activists burned American flags before police "declared an unlawful assembly and said their activism ‘alarmed and disturbed others,'" according to News2Share, who captured the videos. "The Revolutionary Communist Party… has taken on the responsibility to lead a revolution in the U.S., the belly of the imperialist...

Violence erupted between a parental rights group and LGBTQ+ supporters over transgender notification policies at Los Angeles public schools on Tuesday. The two groups clashed outside the L.A. Unified School District headquarters downtown during a demonstration. As the gathering turned violent, police officers were called to the scene. Each group consisted of about 50 or so members. Skirmish lines were set up between the dueling groups and multiple people were taken into custody for “becoming violent, pushing officers, and throwing items,” LAPD said. A dispersal order was issued around 12 p.m., but the groups refused to leave, LAPD said. Three...

Based on recent polling, RealClearPolitics projects Republicans will win the hotly contested gubernatorial races in four states that were once seen as Democrat strongholds: Wisconsin, Oregon, Nevada, and, yes, Michigan. One wonders how the latest polling out of Minnesota — polling that shows Republican Dr. Scott Jensen leading his Democrat opponent Tim Walz, 46.3 to 45.8 percent — will affect that RealClear projection.

Trump ally Mehmet Oz is on course to win his Pennsylvania Senate battle against Democratic rival John Fetterman, according to new analysis.The Republicans are hoping to take both chambers of Congress at next month's election, allowing them to dramatically restrict the power of President Joe Biden. An analysis by Real Clear Politics (RCP), based on opinion polling adjusted to take account of past inaccuracies, projects Oz will win Pennsylvania by 1.9 percent of the vote.The calculation is drawn from an RCP produced average of recent polls, which puts Fetterman ahead by 3.2 points. However, the RCP calculated polling averages for...

Democrats took the lead in FiveThirtyEight’s generic ballot average a few days ago but RealClearPolitics remained a stalwart holdout — barely. After months of the GOP leading comfortably in their average, once by nearly five points in April, the gap between the parties shrank suddenly over the last few weeks. As recently as July 24, Republicans led by 2.5 points. But falling gas prices and the deus ex machina of Build Back Better passing against all odds caused Democratic support to surge, shrinking the Republican lead to a tenth of a point earlier this week.Today Dems finally took the lead....

Do you remember Trump’s inauguration in 2017? Rioters set fires, harassed and assaulted people, threw bricks, and worse. None of the rioters were ever really held accountable, and now they’re getting a big cash settlement over their arrests. The city of Washington has reached a $1.6 million settlement in two lawsuits that included allegations of arrests without cause and excessive force on protestors during the inauguration of former President Donald Trump in January 2017.

Approval of President Biden's performance in the White House continues to weaken as the administration works to deal with the Ukraine border conflict, rising inflation, the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and chaos at the Mexican border. For the first time since taking office, Biden's approval rating — based on an accumulation of polling data — fell below 40%. A Real Clear Politics average of all the most recent national surveys measuring Biden’s standing put the president’s approval at 39% and his disapproval at 54%. Biden has also found himself at the center of a Russia-Ukraine border conflict in Europe. Last month,...

Dec 6, 2021 Left wing organizations are uniting to “Shut Down the Capitol” on December 7, 2021, when Congress returns to session. Broadly organized by “Shut Down DC,” the groups are attempting to force horrific socialist policies before the 2022 elections. Using the highly sophisticated progressive tool Action Network, “Shut Down DC” is openly organizing leftist lunatics to engage in “street blockades surrounding the Capitol”. “Most of us don’t identify as Dems but we ARE angry – and we’re shutting down the Capitol on 12/7,” Shut Down DC tweeted. According to a mass email sent to supporters on Wednesday, the...

CHICAGO — More than 1,000 people demonstrated Saturday to protest the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, rallying in Federal Plaza before marching throughout Downtown. azmine Salas, an organizer with Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, said the protest was about showing demonstrators would not give in “to the racism and fear.” “I think we’re in this moment where vigilantes are feeling very empowered. Their poster child Kyle just got off,” Salas said. “But I think as Chicagoans, as a majority Black and Brown city, we are extremely powerful. … Today it’s about really showing our power, not...

Why We Must Take the Revcoms’ Call for Violent Revolt Seriously After Rittenhouse AcquittalAs revolutionary Antifa-spinoff groups go, the Revcoms should be at the top of everyone’s watch-list. Why? Because they are NOT just an Antifa spinoff, though some are characterizing them as such. In fact, they’ve been around accumulating resources and recruiting comrades for longer than most Antifa members have been alive. They are preparing to do something big and they have been mobilizing Neo-Marxists around the country to burn Kenosha and other cities to the ground. The Revolutionary Communist Party, led by Maoist Bob Avakian since 1975, seeks...
