OPINION: The False Promises of Democratic Socialism

As an Albanian man, I am usually struck by the ease with which so-called “democratic socialists” in America dismiss any criticism of their beloved socio-economic system. When I point out the fact that “real socialism” has been tried, and it has failed miserably everywhere it has been tried, including in my country of origin, Albania, … Read more

ROPER: VT Dems Go Full Communist

Vermont Democrats nominated Amanda Janoo as their horse to take on Phil Scott in November’s gubernatorial election, rejecting by a slim margin the putatively more moderate alternative, Aly Richards, and in doing so decided to go – as many in their party have – full-on communist. Though Janoo doesn’t formally claim the Democratic Socialist party … Read more

MACDONALD: Political Murder-Suicide

If you have any doubts about whether a minority of radicals can consume a movement to the degree that it drives the bus, and drives it over its own moderates, you could look at history. Islam, the National Socialist (NAZI) Party in Germany, the Bolsheviks. Cuba right before Castro, China before Mao, and the American … Read more

PAYNE: Fabian’s Freeway to Tyranny

America is committing national suicide. Only an inside job could overcome the Founders’ placing the power in the people’s hands, per Article I of the Constitution. This power has been usurped by the Executive and Judicial branches. Even the eternal promise of the Bill of Rights, listing God-given, inherent rights to lock the door on … Read more

MACDONALD: The Problem With All Of It

Whether you like them or not, the hurricane season posts are a critical balance to the fearmongering agenda of the Climate Cult. More and stronger storms. That’s why we (or at least I) do these. Media bias is strong when the weather presents the opportunity, so we work to provide balance, but no one seems … Read more

ANDERSON: Democratic Socialists: One Vote, One Time?

Even a casual observer of America’s political scene can see that the Democratic Socialists of America have become a powerful force in electoral politics, as their candidates are winning one Democratic Party primary after another. This past week saw three more radical leftists winning congressional primaries in New York City, taking down two well-established members of Congress … Read more

MACDONALD: The Only Promise They Will Keep

How you feel is not science, but the proglodytes are masters of weaponizing feels. They can convince any number of folks to ignore reality in exchange for acting almost entirely on emotion. It’s brainwashing en masse. The PsyOp. Mass hypnosis. There is a science to understanding how and why people are consumed by their feelings, … Read more

MACDONALD: It’s Not Just about Wealth Taxes

I am responsible for a flurry of recent content on wealth taxes. Rich Democrats like to play class warfare games, using emotion, envy, not of them, but of the other rich people. It’s an easy move, though not typically as effective in America, but it has found more traction on the left thanks to years … Read more

Quick Takes – Hat Trick

Within I pick three topics upon which to discourse, but not worth a full-length examination as a standalone piece on their own.  But first, reprising an older cartoon (for shameless self-promotion!):
