Watching leftists endlessly promote the same catastrophic policies is tiresome. Some quotations come to mind: - "“It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.” -- Ronald Reagan - “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” -- Soren Kierkegaard Since so many of the worst cities in America are run by Democrats, one would think that their voters would eventually catch on. Those who do and are able, move away. Some take their...

Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary and is poised to become the next mayor of the Big Apple. He’s young, personable, has amazing charisma, and is being touted by some as the new face of the party. Others are suggesting that Mamdani, with all his attributes, is offering a path forward for Democrats to win in both the midterms and in 2028. These people are just as stupid as Mamdani himself. Mamdani is an avowed socialist who advocates for socialist policies, which are always going to resonate with people who are idiotic, jealous of other people’s wealth, or too lazy...

Federal agency reminds Bass of her controversial Ghana trip while Los Angeles wildfires raged.. Immigration and Customs Enforcement clapped back at Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass after she suggested that federal immigration authorities "go home." .... "I don’t know if there’s a deal to be made. Like I told you, the deal that needs to be made is for them to go home," the Democrat said. ICE directly responded, noting that they will continue their operations in the city and in the region. "ICE isn't going anywhere and will continue to do what Mayor Bass has utterly failed to do...

In an embarrassing moment, woke Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass admitted that her city was in such bad shape following the anti-ICE riots that it might not be ready to host the World Cup, pointing to how much graffiti had been left behind by rioters acting out in opposition to President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration. For background, on June 10, 2025, LA Mayor Karen Bass reflected on the impact of the anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protests that broke out on June 6 and culminated in the dispatching of the National Guard and the Marines by President Trump. During...

As frustrating as many of the Supreme Court’s decisions have been of late, in the past week or two, they seem to have come to their senses. That they finally put a stop to the unconstitutional intervention, intrusion into the purview of the executive branch’s powers, and stopped those far-left activist judges from kneecapping the president (Trump vs. Casa). They also ruled that no state can allow the genital mutilation of minor children (US v. Skrmetti). That this issue got this far is a sad commentary on the state of our nation. And in a third victory, the Court ruled...

This absolutely insane individual attempts to stop this ice truck after it detained multiple individuals that have committed crimes.

In Los Angeles, marchers rallied against Trump in themed ‘No Kings’ marchers in places where people were forbidden to go by the Newsom regime 5 years ago. There are no kings in California, just government bureaucrats who were able to rule more ruthlessly than most kings and forbid even the most ordinary average everyday activities like going to the beach or meeting up with family members or going to school. A king would have been far less onerous than California’s actual rulers. And less corrupt and abusive. The marchers pretending they were protesting against some phantom tyranny and for some...

Capitol Police said about 60 demonstrators were arrested on Friday during a veterans’ protest on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, after the group breached a law enforcement line of bike racks. The arrests were made outside the U.S. Capitol building near the steps of the rotunda, Fox News reported on Saturday. The outlet said a group of veterans and military family members planned a sit-in to show their disagreement with President Donald Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles, California, where violent protests erupted recently over illegal immigration sweeps by Immigration and Customs Enforcement...

Thousands of people took to San Francisco’s streets on Saturday as part of the “No Kings” protests taking place across the country. The crowd in San Francisco swelled to many thousands as it stretched from Dolores Park to Civic Center, possibly even 100,000, according to an estimate by SFGATE photographer and online photo editor Douglas Zimmerman, though an official tally was not immediately available. The nationwide “No Kings” mobilizations are protesting the Trump administration and coincide with both the president’s birthday and his $45 million military parade taking place in Washington, D.C. The demonstrations come on the heels of weeks...

Dozens of women dressed as handmaidens from the show The Handmaid s Tale walk silently through downtown as part of a March of Dissent before a No Kings protest against policies of the Trump administration on Saturday, June 14, 2025, in Fort Worth.

An estimated 50,000 people marched across New York City as part of nationwide protests against the Trump administration, according to early estimates from the NYPD. The demonstrations took place on city streets largely without incident. NBC New York’s Chris Jose report What to Know Protests against the Trump administration's immigration enforcement policies have been ongoing in New York City and across the country since last weekend, when unrest erupted in Los Angeles and the president ordered in the National Guard. Demonstrations are taking place nationwide on Saturday for what organizers are calling 'No Kings Day' with the goal of protest...

They should have put this protest on ice. A massive raid on a suspected cartel member found in Arizona with a huge stockpile of drugs and guns was interrupted by “idiots” who thought it was “an ICE raid,” according to a sheriff. Investigators had spent around six months investigating the unidentified cartel member, who had crept back into the country despite previously being deported, according to Pinal County Sheriff Ross Teeple [snip] “Even when it was explained to them [protesters] that this was a criminal case, where we were taking a criminal drug smuggler, a known felon off the street...

Walmart heiress Christy Walton is facing backlash, and Walmart is facing some calls for a boycott from Trump supporters after placing a full-page ad in The New York Times urging Americans to attend town halls and engage in civic discourse. While the "No Kings Day" ad did not mention President Donald Trump by name, its emphasis on values like honoring commitments to allies, defending against dictators, and respecting trading partners was widely interpreted as a critique of Trump's foreign policy and "America First" agenda. A spokesperson for Walmart told Newsweek: "The advertisements from Christy Walton are in no way connected...

Ms. Bass struggled amid criticism of her initial response to the Los Angeles fires in January. The opposition over President Trump’s immigration raids have offered her an opportunity. For the past three days, Mayor Karen Bass has been a high-profile figure across Los Angeles. She turned up at parking lots where federal officials had conducted immigration sweeps. She posted updates on social media seeking to reassure embattled immigrants that the city would fight for them. She held a news conference at City Hall to rally her constituents and assail President Trump for deploying the National Guard. “It’s the last thing...

The 26-year-old twin daughters of a top Los Angeles official were arrested Sunday during anti-ICE protests that have wreaked havoc on the city. Los Angeles Chief Deputy Comptroller Rick Cole said his daughters, Lucia Aguilar and Antonia, were arrested, the New York Post reported Tuesday. The arrests happened after protests erupted on Friday as anti-ICE protesters tried to thwart illegal-immigration sweeps in the city, per Breitbart News. The Post said the two women were accused of assaulting a police officer with a deadly weapon. KATV noted: It’s unclear which was the deadly weapon they allegedly used but they were arrested...

According to Israel's Foreign Ministry, the Madleen was redirected to the Israeli port of Ashdod, and the passengers would be returned to their countries of origin. The ministry released a video showing the activists wearing life vests and receiving food and water. In a statement posted online, it described the ship as a "selfie yacht" and said the aid would be transferred to Gaza through established procedures. The civilian vessel, named Madleen and operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), was stopped in international waters. The Israeli military stated that the interception was part of enforcement measures related to its...

Have Soros dollars now seeped into the judiciary? Either leftists are working for the Communist Chinese Party (CCP), or they have certainly read their playbooks. The playbooks of the CCP are “The Art of Warfare” and “Unrestricted Warfare”—both of which speak to exploiting the weakness of an enemy and argue that the United States does not consider the wider picture of military strategy, including “legal tools” (lawfare and economic factors) to leverage one’s opponent and circumvent the need for direct military action resulting in the same, if not even greater, destructive force. Three unelected New York federal judges of the...

There’s little debate that modern-day American universities, public education, mainstream media, Hollywood, and political advocacy groups are dominated by leftists. This is no accident, but part of a deliberate strategy to pave the way for communist revolution developed more than eight decades ago by an Italian political theorist named Antonio Gramsci. Described as one of the world’s most important and influential Marxist theorists since Marx himself, if you are not familiar with Gramsci, you should be. Gramsci wrote in the 1930s of a “war of position” for socialists and communists to subvert Western culture from the inside. facebook sharing button...

"The White House and some Republicans in Congress have accused NPR of promoting a liberal bias. How do you respond?" NPR CEO Katherine Maher: "We're a nonpartisan news organization. We do not seek to favor any political party at all." Does anyone actually believe this???

In a rare moment of honesty from the left, retiring Democrat Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado is sounding the alarm — not about Republicans, but about the crumbling state of his own party. During a CNN interview on Sunday, Bennet torched the Democratic brand, admitting what millions of Americans already know: today’s Democratic Party is out of touch, unpopular, and fundamentally failing. . . . Bennet, who is positioning himself for a gubernatorial run in Colorado in 2026, didn’t hold back. He expressed “fury” at his party’s inability to defeat Trump, even after years of media smears, endless investigations, and...
