An unholy alliance: Leftism and Islamism

May 9, 2024 Amil Imani

American colleges, known for fostering social movements, have witnessed a curious alliance in recent decades—the Leftist-Islamist coalition, an uneasy and yet significant force. This essay delves into this collaboration, raising questions about its ideological compatibility and financial transparency. The political leanings of American faculty have been a topic of discussion since the 1930s. Studies like those by the … Read more

James Comer R KY, chairman of House Oversight Comm., is getting cooperation from unnamed individuals as the committee is investigating Hunter Biden and the Biden family’s financial business connections to China.

Palate Cleanser – The Left Has Little Sense of Humor for Their Theology Being Confronted – Especially This One

December 26, 2022 Skip

I thought this is hilarious – but it also makes a great point: Yes, being a pre-teen and teenager is hard and can be VERY hard. Yet, more and more evidence is coming in that “going trans” isn’t from an internal mental illness that needs to be carefully taken into account but from those suffering … Read more

America’s Republic Is the Only Acceptable Form of Government

September 13, 2022 Steve Earle

It would be laughable if it wasn’t just so pathetic how the Left keeps trying to paint conservatives, Republicans or anyone else, who will not drop on their knees and worship their absurd evil god of Socialism. History, the real kind, not the revised make-believe versions the progressives push, tells us that Socialism does not … Read more

Another Trip Down the Left’s Hypocrisy Highway

July 1, 2022 Rick Notkin

It’s time for another trip down the Left’s Hypocrisy Highway. With so many topics, it’s difficult to stay current. In no particular order: Per Jen Psaki, President Joe Biden said that protesting outside Supreme Court justices’ homes is understandable because the protesters are “hurt, angry, and passionate”. Why didn’t the people who protested on Jan. … Read more

Skip’s Sauntering Snippets #11 – It’s Not the Gun but the Left’s Changing of the Culture That’s to Blame

July 15, 2024May 26, 2022 Skip

Yes, this is out of order, numerically speaking, with those Snippets “in the can” but not yet published. But, I felt it was right given the copycat tragedy that just occurred in Uvalde, Texas.

Seems to Be a Trend for Me Today – Debating to Protect the Innocence of Children. So, Maggie Hassan, Will You Help Me?

March 31, 2022March 31, 2022 Skip

Doubtful, very doubtful. Hopefully, though, once I invite her, she’ll come in for a Grok Gauntlet in which she’ll get questions from we Groksters. Wouldn’t THAT be a GRAND example of bipartisanship?

Crime

March 16, 2022 Steve Earle

An interesting item in the news on Monday: Amazon announced on Friday it is relocating its employees from downtown Seattle due to “rampant violence” (their words).

Kyle Rittenhouse (on th eground) Screen grab video care of NYP

Not Guilty!

November 22, 2021 Steve Earle

Well, after seeing the Kyle Rittenhouse trial on TV I feared leftist pressure would pervert our justice system. However, twelve people, good and true, pronounced him “not guilty” on all counts. Of course the Left is going nuts, many still sound like they spent their time watching Andy Griffin reruns and expecting a white man … Read more

Promoted from the Comments – “You Will Be Made to Care”

September 8, 2021 Skip

That line above is from my blogging friend, Erick Erickson, who created it a few years ago in response to the Left’s constant “you are either with us or you are our enemy” activism. There was no middle ground that could be chosen.

Here We Go Again – Taliban and Afghanistan

August 17, 2021 Steve Earle

The Taliban is taking over in Afghanistan, desperate people clinging to American planes taking off are falling to their deaths; how long will it be until the first wave of Islamic terrorist attacks start killing people here in the States?

Data Point – Why is it that the Left is ONLY increasing here in the US?

March 27, 2021March 26, 2021 Skip

And that curve has only drifted downward since about 2016. People have seen what the Left’s “intentions” have churned out for “results” over the years – they are tired of getting punched out by the Left who seemingly puts other issues and people not of their own country being treated better than the Citizens of … Read more

Action Civics: “Action civics is the application of Alinsky-style political organizing tactics to school children.”

December 29, 2020 Skip

I had never heard of the term “action civics” before I saw this post over at Powerline. Now, we see yet another word / idea being bastardized for use by the Left. I know what “direct action” is – the idea by Leftist groups that getting physical (e.g., Antifa, creating mobs, harassment, et al) is … Read more

Showing the hypocrisy of the Left in two tweets. Who said they believed that Black Lives Matter?

Only those black lives that believe like they do. (H/T: Instapundit)

The hijacking of Western Civilization – the Barbarians live amongst us and we trained them.

July 31, 2020 Skip

On Sunday’s episode of “The Candace Owens Show,” Candace sat down with author Dinesh D’Souza. They discussed how the left hijacked the education system and exploited George Floyd’s death to further racial division. In this clip, Candace began the conversation with a heartfelt explanation for why she believes the education system in America is a … Read more

This Latest Tantrum (Like Every one Before It) Is About Ideological Purity And Nothing Else

June 29, 2020June 29, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Everything the left does has one goal—ideological purity. BLM, race, gender, hate speech, diversity, and Human Rights councils, it is all a smokescreen. This latest tantrum is no exception. It has one purpose, and that is not police reform.

A definition of Socialism: “Moochers electing looters to steal from producers”

March 18, 2020March 17, 2020 Skip

The Left hates the words looters and producers in the same sentence in talking about politics – they KNOW the words are aimed at them. Of COURSE, they are – their words and actions (their legislation and their votes) out themselves.

Ah, the hypocrisy of the Left. But they’ll blame Trump for it!

January 15, 2020January 15, 2020 Skip

After drone striking Iranian Quds Force leader General Qasem Soleimani who has been killing Americans for years, either directly through Iranian forces/resources or via proxies in the Middle East when Iranian backed militias attacked an Iraqi based American embassy (and thereby crossing a red line that Trump had laid down).

Proving Once Again That Journalists Are Mouthpieces for Socialists

January 9, 2020 Skip

We Conservatives want the other side to keep talking and talking and talking – and the Left lives to silence their opponents. It is becoming clear that “journalists” are becoming the shock troops for the socialists Cancel Movement, where only the “approved” speech can be uttered.

What does it say about our Country when Hong Kong-ers are waving American flags while fighting to protect their Freedom…

November 28, 2019 Skip

…from the Chinese Communists while here in America, the Left waves flags for and advocates for adoption of the same oppressive Socialist and Communist political structures that is oppressing the young in Hong Kong.
