MACDONALD: This Is Democrat Socialism

October 27, 2026October 26, 2026 Steve MacDonald

If you’re not sure what a Socialist America might look like, this is something of a giveaway. DSA darlings fly private jets and stay in luxury hotels so they can give speeches about affordability and all the “Free” stuff their government will give you. From where you stand today, that may not seem so awful … Read more

America’s Hidden Transformation:

July 9, 2025March 5, 2025 Matthew Rhodes

How a German Bureaucratic Model Replaced the Constitutional Republic For decades, Americans have debated whether their government has grown too large, too intrusive, or simply out of control. But what if this transformation was not an accident—but by design? What if the modern administrative state was built on an imported ideology—one that reshaped the very … Read more

Just In True Dough

November 21, 2024 Steve MacDonald

While the crazy Americans voted to break the stranglehold the elites have on their necks, Canadian elitist “elite” Justin Trudeau is proving those voters right. You should, at the next opportunity, and every one after that, keep these dangerous people as far from positions of power as possible. So ignorant are you? Feeding your kids. … Read more

What is the New World Order and what can be done about it?

July 27, 2024 Kensley Vitoria

According to the far left internet-based encycloedia Wikipedia, which is veritably controlled by a group of clearly leftist editors who vigilantly prevent specific narratives from display on its pages, the New World Order (NWO) is a conspiracy theory. This is in spite of the documented, factual reality that over the course of the past century, … Read more

Martha’s Vineyard Declared “Low Income” so It Can Save Money on EV Chargers

February 3, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Martha’s Vineyard is a remarkable place—a quaint little island of elites where the median home price is around 1.5 million. Barry Obama has a massive estate there, as do many well-heeled elites (despite the alleged risk of rising sea levels). And now they are eligible for subsidies (your money, not theirs) to add EV charging infrastructure.

US vs Them and the 2024 Presidential Primary

January 27, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Jeff Chidester, Mike Rogers, and I had our share of time to fill on radio row – with opinion, commentary, speculation, and observation. Events like the First in the Nation Primary are opportunities to leverage those debates, hopefully with people aspiring to run the country, but do they even know what the nation needs?

The Establishment Is Unmasking Itself

January 18, 2024 Op-Ed

Two weeks ago, I wrote an article laying out the political class’s struggle to preserve its legitimacy by fighting to regain control over the digital information space. The piece built on Martin Gurri’s thesis that the wide adoption of the internet has caused an information revolution that, similar to the adoption of the printing press, has allowed dissent to grow and spread beyond the control of the ruling classes.

Globalists Gather in Davos to Reset Their Deteriorating Image

January 14, 2024 Steve MacDonald

The annual Ruling Class Klan Bake is upon us with its jet-setting cadre of elites gathering in Davos, Switzerland, to decide what to do about the peasants. But this year’s theme will be a bit different. A growing number of peasants don’t trust them.

Nikki Haley Is the Billionaire-ocracy’s Desperate Attempt To Finish the Job Obama Started

January 14, 2024January 14, 2024 California Refugee

In 42 years of practicing law in California, I encountered firsthand what I labeled the BILLIONAIRE-OCRACY. Simply put, California was ruled by a very select and distinct group of very wealthy people who ran all the companies. The faces of the ruling class had names like Willie Brown (the man behind Kamala Harris), Nancy Pelosi, and Gavin Newsom.

A Free and Open Internet Is a Threat to the Establishment

December 29, 2023 Op-Ed

Last week, a video clip of Francis Fukuyama went viral. In the clip, the political scientist called freedom of speech and a marketplace of ideas “18th-century notions that really have been belied (or shown to be false) by a lot of what’s happened in recent decades.”

I Didn’t Think Jonah Goldberg Could Fall Any Further, but He Has

August 16, 2023 Steve MacDonald

We live in a world where elite capture by the Chinese Communist Party is a growing national security threat to America. One of their many tells is claiming something is a threat to The Demcoracy™. We hear it from The Left all the time, but how about from Jonah Goldberg?

Angelo Codevilla Nails the Entropy That Has Seeped Into the West

May 2, 2023 Skip

I grow more and more ashamed of my alma mater, Boston University, the more that the too-well-known airhead (otherwise known as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, AOC) lets loose with her Socialist mantras that bedevils her “degree” in economics and international relationship.

“It’s More a Ruling Class That Has Given Up on the Society It Rules.”

April 15, 2023 Skip

Traditionally, our “Ruling Class” understood that America came first before its ideological aims. They understood that this demanded a “Limited Government” that let the rest of us decide for ourselves what is best for us.

Billionaire Suggests Feds Seize Your Private Property to Achieve Climate Goals – So, You Go First!

April 11, 2023April 11, 2023 Steve MacDonald

JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon thinks the Feds and NGOs should make Eminent Domain claims to seize private property … to save the planet. Dimon is worth close to two billion, and wouldn’t this be a good time to lead by example?

A Reminder: Our “Ruling Class” Will Continue To Ignore Us Until WE Decide They Can’t

April 4, 2023 Skip

But when will that Preference Cascade, that tipping point, happen? From Angelo Codvilla, a Professor from my alma mater (BU) that DID make me feel grand to have matriculated from there (twice). Emphasis mine As over-leveraged investment houses began to fail in September 2008, the leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties, of major corporations, … Read more

Mistakes Were NOT Made – An Anthem for Justice

March 24, 2023 Steve MacDonald

I found this interesting enough to share, obviously. It’s called An Anthem for Justice. It is a way to frame the “calculated intentionality underlying the COVID tyranny.”

What it Means When Democrats Say They “Want to Reduce Gun Violence”

March 18, 2023 Steve MacDonald

If you do even a minimal amount of looking, you will discover that the political Left’s anti-gun violence laws result in more violence. That’s deliberate, but they’re not lying when they say they want to reduce gun violence.

Red Wave Math With Mark Levin (Why It Was Never Meant to Be)

November 15, 2022 Steve MacDonald

From Life, Liberty, and Levin, Mark takes a few minutes for post-election analysis to discuss the math behind the 2022 Midterms and the unlikelihood of a sweeping red wave. He also touches on who was predicting it, who they protected, who they threw under the bus, and why 2024 is the year to watch.

Worry Over Climate Change is Causing … Eating Disorders

May 5, 2022May 4, 2022 Steve MacDonald

The climate changes but the political movement that seeks to address climate change couldn’t care less. They can’t predict it and even if it were real could never do a thing about it. But they can and do scare the crap out of people which is the only true goal.

Howie Carr’s Excellent Adventure With Gov. Chris Sununu and the Trump Smear

April 8, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Mr. Sununu made a sacrifice to the DC Swamp gods last week at their annual Gridiron Dinner. He said Trump was [bleepin] crazy, among other things. Only it wasn’t a sacrifice, no matter what Sununu or “his people” tell you. It was easy, and he enjoyed it.
