TYSON: The Dumbest Meme Ever

September 30, 2025 Kevin P. Tyson

There are very few memes that are as dumb and insulting as this one. It works because people conflate Antifa with being antifascist and therefore being pro-democracy, albeit while having a very hazy notion of what the term democracy means. An old friend, whom I have known for more than half a century, posted this … Read more

CARDELLO: The Democrat Tank is Officially Empty

September 26, 2025 Ray Cardello

The Democrats who should be leading this rudderless ship continue to tell us how deep their bench is, but reality shows they are blowing smoke into the wind. If the bench is so deep, why is a self-professed Socialist the Left’s candidate for Mayor of New York City and Minneapolis, Minnesota? If the bench is … Read more

MACDONALD: Socialism’s Promise of Imminent Failure

September 26, 2025September 26, 2025 Steve MacDonald

Democrat party leaders have stepped up to defend criminals, drug gangs, and to celebrate violence and murder; it is not just a matter of necessity, but worthy of praise. Their marketing arm, doing business as the Press and entertainment industry, elevates and amplifies their message to normalize crime and violence, even for its victims. And … Read more

MACDONALD: Majority of 40 and Unders Think Income Should be Capped

September 15, 2025September 14, 2025 Steve MacDonald

Numerous polls and studies and research and you know the deal, have come out over the past fifteen years, telling us “college students” oppose free speech. Many still do, and often believe violence is a suitable means for silencing opposing political speech. It’s not very American of them. The founding fathers would likely have them … Read more

From Leninism to Social Democracy: A Guide to Socialist Models

May 18, 2025 Richard W. Fulmer

Discussing socialism is difficult, not only because of the many different varieties that have been proposed, but also because its definition is highly malleable. In debates socialists often shift between different interpretations—sometimes emphasizing state control, other times focusing on worker cooperatives or social safety nets—depending on what best suits their argument at the time. Broadly, … Read more

First Things First

April 30, 2025 Jim Bowman

How the hell can we defeat this communist presence when most Americans don’t even know the form of government that they live under? Over the past fifty years, the bipartisan refrain that America is a democracy has increased in frequency and intensity. Given that truth can never be totally silenced, the more inquisitive among us … Read more

Green New Deal - Socialism wrapped up in Environmentalism

Whatever Happened to the Green New Deal?

Fresh off her 2018 upset New York Democratic congressional primary win, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (better known as AOC) and Massachusetts Sen. Edward Markey announced they were launching an ambitious legislative plan called the Green New Deal.

Debating a Liberal Is as Futile as Putting Talcum Powder on a Hog-but I Sometimes Still Do It

March 12, 2025March 11, 2025 Hal Shurtleff

While I agree with the late Tom Anderson, who said with a distinct Southern drawl, “Debating a liberal is as futile as putting talcum powder on a hog,” I occasionally do so. Not that I think that my reason and logic will change the mind of a liberal, but for others who may be reading or listening. … Read more

Boomers Are Clueless Because They Won’t Live Where He Tells Them To?

February 10, 2025 Skip

Monomaniacal socialist 15-minute-city kind of guy, Lloyd, has little empathy for conservative folks who just want to be left alone and make their own decisions in their own “pursuit of Happiness,” be it in suburbia or rural areas. To give his rant a bit more context (something he generally shrugs off as of no account), … Read more

December 16, 2024 Michael Bielawski

While it’s recently been announced that Vermont will have to pay the highest premiums in the nation for health insurance for 2025, much of the tab for those struggling to pay will be picked up by taxpayers. “This year, many Vermonters will be eligible for better coverage plans at lower premium costs due to increased … Read more

The “Fascist” Ad Hominem As an Act of Projection

October 10, 2024 Thomas J. DiLorenzo

A definition of “projection” is when one baselessly accuses others of doing something unsavory, immoral, or illegal that he is actually doing. For example, a thief who, without proof, accuses others of being thieves. This is what socialists do when they call their intellectual and political opponents “fascists” or compare them to Hitler. Fascism is socialism, as … Read more

Chicago Dems New Money Laundering Scam

September 4, 2024 Steve MacDonald

It has become impossible to do business in some parts of Chicago, where unprosecuted crime and rampant lawlessness have driven grocery and retail stores out of the city. We covered this last year. Unable to guarantee employee safety or economic viability, everyone from mom-and-pops to Wal-Mart has closed up shop. The result is “food deserts.” The Chicago … Read more

Woke is Maoism with American Characteristics”

July 9, 2024 Skip

What is Woke? What is Equity? I can tell you for certain that neither of those terms includes the traditional American ideals of meritocracy, equality before the Law, and equal opportunity—YOU get to decide how far in Life you can go and what you can achieve. Woke and Equity are Marxist foundational concepts that are antithetical to our norms.

Which ‘ism does today’s New Hampshire Democrat Party most resemble (‘ism meaning a manifestation of socialism or collectivism or communism or whatever appellation you prefer to describe a system of government where under the guise of serving “the common good,” or achieving “equity” or “social justice,” or some other pretext the citizenry is conned and … Read more

November 21, 2023 Aaron Warner

Part one of this article looked at the rise in mental illness in our culture, especially the youth. The question is, where does it come from and why? Looking at the overwhelming influencers, namely teachers and social media, it begs the question of what has changed and who started it.

November 20, 2023 Aaron Warner

After reviewing the town of Hartford D.E.I. training and discovering that it is a front for cultural Marxism propped up by lies and unproven social theory, I felt obligated to address the Select Board, which mandated it for town employees.

First, We Caught Public Schools Indoctrinating Our Children, And Now …

October 13, 2023 Skip

Public schools have been indoctrinating our children, and it is our tax dollars that are making this possible. Our own money is being used by those who hate us against us and our children. You know that. You know about the library problem. But did you know this?

What Losing Free Speech Looks Like

September 1, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Several readers have forwarded a story about a Canadian father jailed and fined for misgendering his daughter in public. But he wasn’t jailed for that, not exactly. He was fined and imprisoned for ignoring a gag order that prohibited him from publicly objecting to the forced hormone therapy to which he did not consent.
