  • Old Left slams Ukraine democrats

    WARSAW, Poland -- Do unarmed protestors who risk their lives to replace murderous and corrupt regimes with law-based, liberal democracies deserve our support or not? For simple folk like you and me, this is not one of life's more demanding ethical conundrums. But then again, you and I are no match for some of the great brains at Britain's Guardian newspaper, who -- along with like minded members of the international left -- are currently mounting something approaching a hate campaign against the brave men and women fighting for democracy in Ukraine, and indeed against their predecessors across eastern Europe...
  • Ilhan Omar’s Superpower Against Elon Musk: The Constitution

    That’s a basic premise of American democracy, as US Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minnesota, pointed out Monday during a press conference with fellow Democratic members of Congress, where Musk’s assault on USAID—the federal government agency that is responsible for administering civilian foreign aid and development assistance—was decried as “a constitutional crisis.” Musk may say that he is going to feed the agency into “the wood chipper,” but Congress has a bigger say, explained Omar. “We get to decide, we have the power of the purse. We get to decide where money is allocated, and it’s the executive’s power to make...
  • The Left Didn’t Sink Kamala Harris. Here’s What Did.

    n the aftermath of Kamala Harris’s loss, many pundits and politicians are turning to a familiar scapegoat. Critics like Adam Jentleson, a former aide to senators Harry Reid and John Fetterman, claim that “woke” advocacy groups made Democrats adopt extreme policies and drove voters away from the Democratic Party, sealing Donald Trump’s victory. But the truth is simpler—and more uncomfortable for the Democratic establishment. Despite the noise, voters didn’t reject Harris because of leftist rhetoric or activist slogans.

    Within just a few hours of President Joe Biden’s welcoming President-elect Donald Trump to a cozy two-hour Oval Office meeting (which honestly made me queasy), Trump made any right-thinking American queasy, too. He quickly nominated former Democrat-turned-quisling Tulsi Gabbard his director of national intelligence, accused pedophile Matt Gaetz as attorney general, and womanizing, serial liar, dead-baby-bear-defiling, whale-head-removing, worm-in-his-head anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of Health and Human Services. That was just after he nominated Christian nationalist Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel. What to do? Well, if Republicans decide to hold on to their power to confirm the...

    Elie Mystal is a man who writes for 'The Nation'. He is very mad at white women right now. Even white women who voted for Kamala. They did not do enough. He can't tolerate even an 'ally' right now. His latest meltdown should be used as the greatest example of why people are fleeing the cult of Leftism. No matter how much you fall at their feet and wrap yourself in sackcloth and roll around in ashes, they won't be happy.
  • JUST-IN: Is Trump’s Would be Assassin Ryan Routh an Associate of MSNBC Terrorism Analyst Malcolm Nance With Ukrainian Ties Mentioned in NY Times Article?

    A New York Times report was discovered on Sunday mentioning Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, who was caught targeting Trump, armed with a scoped AK-47 rifle in West Palm Beach before shots were fired by the Secret Service. The New York Times was actually in contact with and interviewed Routh for their article. In an oddly coincidental Truth Social post, just hours before the attempted shooting, Trump said, “THE FAILING NEW YORK TIMES IS A TRUE THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!” https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/113142180434016846 The article from the Times ties the would-be shooter to nutbag MSNBC terrorism analyst Malcolm Nance, who once called for ISIS...

    The Democratic convention’s giddy vibe shift is shadowed by ongoing war and a failure to hear Palestinian voices. his year’s Democratic National Convention is more likely to be remembered for its giddy mood than for any memorable turns of phrase or innovative policy ideas. Democrats have been on an emotional high ever since Joe Biden withdrew his presidential bid and Kamala Harris was elevated as the party’s presumptive nominee. Suddenly, all the anxiety of the last year—much of it based on a realistic fear that Biden was not up to the job of defeating Donald Trump—evaporated, practically overnight.

    ---SNIP--- The strongest argument against picking Shapiro is rooted in his hardline stance against both the Gaza protests on Pennsylvania university campuses—some of which he compared to white supremacist encampments—and the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement seeking to reverse Israel’s brutal human-rights record in the Occupied Territories. In The New Republic, writer David Klion made the case that Shapiro’s elevation to the ticket would kill off much of the movement energy now marshaled behind Harris’s run.

    …But as the 2024 Republican National Convention in the garrison state of downtown Milwaukee winds down, a more definitive transformation of the Trumpist creed is under way, chiefly in the selection of Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as Trump’s running mate. Trump’s own listless, meandering, and astoundingly long acceptance speech on the convention’s last night only made it all the more clear that the MAGA torch is being passed to a more focused and clear-eyed generation of ideologues, with Vance as their de facto leader. But the party’s fulsome embrace of a blood-and-soil brand of economic nationalism, as epitomized by Vance’s...

    The Wednesday essay, titled "The March for Israel Was a Hate Rally," and penned by The Nation's sports editor Dave Zirin, begins by calling the roughly 290,000 strong rally's crowd likely "inflated," despite the author having seen a "massive turnout."Organizers claimed 290,000 people attended the rally, with an additional 250,000 watching via live stream​​, making it the largest pro-Israel gathering in American history.Describing it as a "political event like nothing I've seen in two decades of covering rallies in this town," Zirin claims the "incessant calls to keep bombing Gaza" made the event a "celebration not just of war but...

    VIDEOBy far, the two most prominent of the J6 people were Ray Epps and the "Scaffold Commander" who was urging people via bullhorn to go forward into the Capitol from atop a scaffold on January 6, 2021. Ray Epps we already know. Despite his prominent role on J6 captured on multiple videos the FBI did not seem at all interested in him despite going out their way to track down and arrest peaceful grandmothers who who were invited into the Capitol by the Capitol police. In addition, of all the protestors from that day Epps is the ONLY one who...

    Far-Left justice correspondent for The Nation and frequent MSNBC pundit Elie Mystal suggested a "rich White person" take Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito to "see the Titanic" amid reports of a missing tourist submersible. Mystal was criticized for "wishing death" on Alito and later claimed it was just a "joke." Responding to a tweet from New York Times columnist David French calling his comments "vile," Mystal said it was a "joke" and included a link to the Supreme Court's Dobbs opinion that overturned Roe v. Wade last year, arguing, "This is vile." Several on Twitter accused Mystal of "wishing death"...

    In the grand-scale of ‘what the heck did we just read’, The Nation takes the cake with this piece blaming everything and everyone (including women themselves) except climate change for women’s desire to compete against other women: Women’s swimming is, in some ways, uniquely anti-trans. It’s a sport whose culture created the perfect conditions for trans-exclusionary beliefs to take over.https://t.co/m9PXus07Tr — The Nation (@thenation) May 13, 2023 We’re not kidding, they really do check almost all of the boxes when it comes to the blame game.

    While much of the focus for January 6 “insurrection” skeptics has been on Ray Epps, there’s another mystery man who is arguably more interesting. The “Scaffold Commander” has clear images of him. There are videos of him coordinating mostly peaceful protesters to enter the Capitol Building. Yet he has never been identified nor has he been arrested, prompting many to assume he was part of the con from the beginning. Here he is: VIDEOS AT LINK................ A tip came across the desk at The Liberty Daily Tuesday night that showed an image of John Nichols and the Scaffold Commander. They...

    The Nation’s Elie Mystal was at it once again Saturday during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Cross Connection.” Mystal reacted to an interview that former President Donald Trump had with radio host Hugh Hewitt earlier in the week, warning of the reaction if he were to be indicted. However, Mystal said that was how “white people” reacted when they didn’t get their way in America.

    The Nation justice correspondent Elie Mystal said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that mainstream Republicans were “violent” people. When asked about reports that several Republican lawmakers were ready to impeach former President Donald Trump after the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, Mystal said, “These men are cowards. We know they were cowards. We know they are craven and would debase themselves for Donald Trump.”

    Herschel Walker, the football star turned Georgia Senate candidate, is an animated caricature of a Black person drawn by white conservatives. Walker is what they think of us, and they think we’re big, ignorant, and easily manipulated. They think we’re shady or criminal. They think we’re tools to be used. The Walker campaign exists as a political minstrel show: a splashy rendition of what white Republicans think Black people look and sound like.

    The Nation’s justice correspondent Elie Mystal said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that Republicans who call Ketanji Brown Jackson pro-pedophile were intentionally putting her life in danger. They were discussing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) tweet claiming that Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Susan Collins (R-ME) and Mitt Romney (R-UT) were “pro-pedophile,” anchor Joy Reid said, “These terms, indoctrination, grooming, predator, accusing innocent people of being pedophiles to or being soft on pedophiles, it’s all a very specific trigger for a group that is sinking its teeth into our political discourse. Folks like Marjorie Taylor Greene know that. There’s a reason...

    On Tuesday night's The ReidOut on MSNBC, frequent guest and justice correspondent for The Nation, Elie Mystal doubled down on his claims that the criticism Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson received from Republicans was designed to get her killed. He even suggested Republicans oppose her nomination because she's black. "These attacks are designed to attack Ketanji Brown Jackson, not her record, but her personal character, and that we know that these attacks can put her life and the life of her family and children in danger. And we know they know that," Mystal said hysterically making the obviously...
