New York City, home to about one million Jews, voted in the Democratic mayoral primary for a Shia Muslim deeply critical of Israel.
Zohran Mamdani wants to “globalize the intifada” – a slogan used by pro-Palestinian activists that calls for worldwide support for Palestinian resistance against Israel and Jews involving violence. Mamdani does this with the handwashing tact of standing up for Palestinian human rights.
The hook for NYC’s wealthy champagne socialists who need to virtue signal eyes away from their wealth and for the young and restless urbanites who can’t afford rent in NYC: Mamdani is a 33-year-old member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
Andrew Cuomo dominated the voting among those making under $50K, but Mamdani beat Cuomo by 20 points among voters earning more than $100,000 a year.
Americans were stunned last week when foreign-born, self-proclaimed socialist Zohran Mamdani used CNN as a platform to denounce capitalism—the very system that transformed this country from frontier towns into a global superpower. Capitalism has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty, built a middle class, and fueled rapid technological innovation—outcomes impossible under socialist regimes, as evidenced by an imploding Europe adopting welfare-state models or failed communist states like Cuba.
Like all communist organizers (cf. Obama), the 33-year-old progressive democratic socialist promises an anticapitalism world (with no rising seas or costs) if you just give up all common sense and any understanding of free-market economics (I, Pencil provides understanding) and vote (and pay dearly later) for the revolution. (It’s no secret that capitalism’s profits pay for socialism’s follies.)
Mandani, in order to control costs (read seize the means of production and central planning), says that he wants to freeze rents and provide free transportation and universal childcare, create city-owned grocery stores and construct 200,00 affordable housing units.
He also wants to raise New York City’s minimum wage to $30 by 2030, thereby pricing people out of jobs.
“Shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods.” – Zohran for New York City policy memo.
Mamdani, using the narrative of the left, wants to defund the NYPD and abolish prisons.
He promises to work against U.S. laws to continue Welcoming the Stranger/Fellow Traveler from other failed socialist countries. He will double down on sanctuary city protections for illegals and end cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Welcome to the revolution.
Like fellow travelers Tim Waltz and Kamala Harris, Mamdani defended the Black Lives Matter riots in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 2020. He described the violence (read intifada struggle) as necessary and grounded in racial justice solidarity.
Did NYC Democrats not see the destruction of the palisades and LA by the incompetent leadership of California’s Governor Gavin Newsom and inclusion’s DEI hire Mayor Karen Bass? With this recent vote, do NYC Democrats also approve of the wholesale destruction of their blue city?
Do Democrats in NYC not remember Gavin Newsom eating without mask or social distancing at the French Laundry during the COVID lockdowns? With this recent vote, do NYC Democrats also approve of the hypocrisy of a society that claims to promote equality while allowing a ruling class to dominate?
Mamdani was born in Uganda and briefly lived in South Africa. He became a U.S. citizen in 2018. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Africana studies from Bowdoin College.
No doubt the 33-year-old has been steeped in the anti-American anti-Capitalism rhetoric and Islamic Jihad teaching. It appears that he knows nothing of American history or of Communism’s deadly and destructive track record.
“Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” -George Santayana
From Welcoming Jihad in NYC to Globalized Intifada – The Holy War Against Christians in Nigeria
I’m sure you’ve heard the following reported in the main stream media.
But then again, the reactionary MSM is busy defending the globalist Jihad of the “Welcoming the Stranger” open borders narrative and dissing the law-and-order activity of the Trump administration done to secure the integrity of the United States and the wellbeing of its citizens.
(No doubt some, including some Christians, believe that the morally relativistic “social justice” is a permissive that allows them moral authority to break laws created by representatives of our Republic’s Democracy to maintain order and the common good.)
What’s happening and been happening in Nigeria is Jihad. But it’s not the ghetto-uprising kind of a NYC socialist Jihadist. Here are five articles describing the horrors of Islamist Jihad:
Beneath the silence of the Western press, a genocide is unfolding — one that has claimed the lives of over 3,100 Christians in Nigeria this year alone. And yet, for all the blood spilled, for all the churches burned and children slain, one would be hard-pressed to find even a whisper of coverage from CNN, the BBC, or The New York Times. The slaughter of Christians, it seems, is not newsworthy in today’s media economy. (Emphasis mine.)
In a horrifying escalation of violence, between 100 and 200 Christians were murdered by Fulani jihadist herdsmen in Nigeria’s Benue State, according to multiple sources. (Emphasis mine.)
Jihadist violence continues to escalate in Nigeria, and Christians are particularly at risk from targeted attacks by Islamist militants, including Fulani fighters, Boko Haram and ISWAP (Islamic State West Africa Province). These increased under the rule of former president Muhammadu Buhari, putting Nigeria at the epicentre of targeted violence against the church. The government’s failure to protect Christians and punish perpetrators has only strengthened the militants’ influence. (Emphasis mine.)
Nigeria, the most populated country in Africa, faces a harsh reality for its Christian population. Since the early 2000s, over 62,000 Christians have lost their lives to violence driven by extremist groups like Boko Haram, Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), and Fulani militias. (Emphasis mine.)
[Bishop Wilfred Anagbe] added that for his people, their experience today “can be summed up as that of a Church under Islamist extermination.” (Emphasis mine.)
Nigerian martyrs cry out in a loud voice, “Holy and true Master! How much longer are you going to put off giving judgement, and avenging our blood on the earth-dwellers?” -Revelation 6:10
~~~
No more word games. How are we to understand intifada and jihad? As merely a personal struggle against, say, cigarette smoking? As a struggle against an oppressor? As a non-violent ghetto uprising involving work stoppages, boycotts and demonstrations that might involve small weapons such as rocks or Molotov cocktails, and on some occasions firearms or grenades?
Are we to understand intifada as the October 7th attack on Israel when Gaza militants fired thousands of rockets towards Israeli towns killing more than 1,400 people, including civilians and soldiers, and took up to 150 hostages.
Some, like Daniel Lefkowitz, consider “intifada and genocide” in the same sentence to be “an unreasonable stretch.” But looking at what happened on October 7th and at what has been happening in Nigeria, is it a stretch?
“Globalize the intifada” is a call for a Muslim holy war or spiritual struggle for the propagation or defense of Islam that involves genocide and now wants to employ the unholy terror of Communism.
The New York mayoral Democratic primary candidate defends “Globalize the intifada.”
(I don’t hear pro-Israel war hawk “Tel Aviv Levin” decrying the violence done to Christians in Nigeria by Jihadists.)

We have been given another look at Kamala’s Joy and New Way Forward: First, Do No Help.
How do Never Trumpers and Evangelicals for Harris justify their allegiance to Kamala Harris and Tim Walz? This dreadful duo is OK with chaos and destruction and simply ignoring the needs of others for the sake of their Leftist political notions. All of the destruction of the last three-and-a–half years, here and abroad, has been made possible by Biden-Harris (Who say, along with fellow communists of the New Way Forward, “Why build up when you can overwhelm, tear down, burn down and start over from scratch.”)
As Border Czar, Kamala Harris continues to leave the border wide open. She has allowed in all kinds of destructive elements: criminals, terrorists, diseases, and deadly fentanyl. Harris was VP during the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Thirteen American soldiers died in the process.
Harris passed the Inflation Reduction Act which added to the highest inflation in 80 years. Harris called out the amount of money spent on police departments who keep law and order in the increasing crime-ridden communities flooded with illegals. Harris spoke well of the 2020 rioting and helped bail out rioters.
Biden-Harris released money for Iran. Iran and Hezbollah then went about attacking Israel.
I have no doubt that the heinous Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Susan Rice and others are behind the destructive policies of Harris. Harris is just a DEI hire along for the ride.
Harris is OK with censorship and the destruction of free speech.

Axelrod said Hurricane Helene victims in North Carolina are mainly Trump voters who will find it hard to vote in the 2024 election.
David Axelrod said affected Democrats from Asheville are “upscale liberal voters, and they’re probably going to figure out a way to vote. I’m not sure a bunch of these folks who had their homes and lives destroyed elsewhere, in western North Carolina, in the mountains, there are going to be as easy to wrangle for the Trump campaign.”

“Reality cannot be ignored except at a price; and the longer the ignorance is persisted in, the higher and more terrible becomes the price that must be paid.” -Aldous Huxley
Just when you hear that the phoniest candidate ever, a media astroturf job without a single vote in primaries, is now running for president, we find out that the running mate is the pro-riot Maoist Tim Walz.
It was bad enough when the media would have us ignore reality one moment – “Biden was never better” (MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough) – and in the next breath say that Biden was incompetent and had to go. Now we find the media again wanting us to ignore reality – the record of the radical Leftist Tim Walz – and working to invert that reality.
The Pravda-like media would have us warm to and even fawn over the alternate reality the man presents to the public. We are to believe that Tim Walz is just a folksy Minnesotan, normal and neighborly, a populist ‘everyman’, a military and football wonder, and even a Bernie Sanders of the Prairie in hunting gear. But we can’t ignore reality like this Walter Mitty of this election.
Unlike many of us including Trump, Tim Walz “never ran a business or worked long in the private sector. His entire career has been spent working for the government, either as a teacher or as a politician. His politics, despite a pivot to the middle while in Congress, are rooted in the far left.”
One Christian website that apparently has sold its soul to Progressivism gaslights with Walz’s faith bona fides. These include being a Lutheran dad. These include being a great unifier, as he “rallied” with faith leaders after the death of George Floyd and advocated for the Minnesota Muslim population. And, these include having to feel sorry for Walz, as he faced blowback from religious communities during the pandemic — including conservative Lutherans —for closing churches.
What the article does not say about Walz’s faith bona fides:
Democratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz attends a church that preaches beliefs related to gender, race and sexuality that many Christian denominations strongly oppose.
Walz, who is the governor of Minnesota, identified Pilgrim Lutheran Church in St. Paul as his parish during a 2020 briefing on the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials published by Pilgrim Lutheran Church instruct parishioners not to refer to God using male pronouns, push congregants to support reparation funds, encourage them to celebrate Ramadan and include a modified gender-neutral version of the Lord’s Prayer, among other liberal practices.
(Walz’s faith bona fides remind me of Barack Obama’s faith bona fides: 20 years at the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago’s south side, under the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and “God damn America.”)
Walz has feminist bona fides, too.J. Robert Smith writes at American Thinker that “Walz is attractive to feminized progressives because he’s a feminized progressive.”
Smith asks . . .
What can we say about a man who protects those who mutilate children’s bodies in the name of “gender-affirming health care?” How about promoting the savagery of no-limits abortion? How about banning counseling for gender dysphoria sufferers? How about safeguarding graphic LGBTQ themed pornography in public libraries and schools?
Walz signed a bill last year that makes Minnesota a “sanctuary state” for so-called “trans kids” (there is no such thing as a transgender child because there is no such thing as a transgender person). What this means is that a parent who wants to mutilate her child can take him to Minnesota, and the state will not obey an extradition or arrest orders from the originating state—even if the family is in a custody battle and the father does not want his child surgically abused.
So this won’t be any surprise, either. LibsofTikTok highlighted a story about how Walz used taxpayer money to hire a “Satanic” drag queen to perform at a show open to children.
Quite the faith bona fides!!
Who is Tim Walz? He was not the obvious, logical, or straightforward choice to be Kamala’s VP. He’s the in-your-face radical choice and what the puppet Kamala needs as her ventriloquist.
Don’t ignore reality! Tim Walz . . .
1. Fueled BLM Riots in 2020, stalled on deploying the National Guard for an entire day
2. Let rioters loot and wreck Minneapolis “Those who don’t build must burn. It’s as old as history and juvenile delinquents” (Fahrenheit 451).
3. Changed MN state flag to resemble Somalia’s
4. Was a COVID-19 tyrant; sent sick, elderly patients back to nursing homes where the infection often spread to other vulnerable people, causing a disproportionate number of coronavirus deaths
5. Pushed youth trans surgery, ‘hormone therapy’ agenda
6. Put tampons in boy’s bathrooms
7. Embellished and selectively omitted facts about his military career
During his first term as governor, Walz faced two major challenges: The riots following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and COVID-19. He fumbled both.
As the Twin Cities burned for three days in May 2020, Walz froze, terrified of upsetting his party’s activist base which sympathized with the rioters, for whom Kamala Harris raised money. Walz hesitated to commit the National Guard – whom he dismissed as “19-year-old cooks” – but when they finally were deployed, the violence ceased immediately. . .
In response to the second challenge, COVID-19, in defiance of the science, Walz shut down schools, churches and businesses and instituted draconian mask mandates and shelter in place orders. . .
On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) responded to a question on what he will do to make sure there are penalties for disinformation about elections by claiming that “There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.” (Emphasis mine.
Governor Tim Walz backed an Orwellian hate speech registry.
His original budget proposal for the human rights department included a 7% increase in funding for 2024 and a 4.5% increase after that to monitor Minnesotans speech.
The Harris-Walz Burn-it-down Open Borders ticket is the most radical ticket this country has ever seen. If you ignore the reality of what they have said and done – the inversion of the good for the inflation of evil – then whoever you are, wherever you are, you will not be isolated from the price. Be careful what you vote for. This is election is about our survival.

From Bad to Walz – Politicians with Policies that Plunder
These short videos provide more perspective on Tim Walz:
In the Friday news roundup, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Sami Winc discuss Jamie Raskin’s call for invoking the 14th Amendment to take down Trump, the Harris choices, the Squad losing re-election bids, how the Left deals with debt, Biden’s absence from the scene, and California as Kamala’s offering to the country.
In short, Walz has never seen a California energy policy he didn’t try to implement in Minnesota. His standard tactic has been the bait-and-switch, first proposing a seemingly moderate policy during election season and then lurching to the extreme end of the spectrum at his first opportunity.
Nearly 13,500 people moved from Minnesota to other parts of the United States from April 2020 through July 1, 2021, making it the eighth highest state for population loss through domestic migration, according to Dec. 21, 2021, data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, on at least five occasions as governor of Minnesota, hosted a Muslim cleric who celebrated Hamas‘s Oct. 7 attack last year on Israel and promoted a film popular among Neo-Nazis that glorifies Adolf Hitler, the Washington Examiner found.
No more of Politicians with Policies that Plunder:
🚨BREAKING: California Democrat State Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil has announced that she is switching to the Republican Party, criticizing the leadership and policies of her former party.
“I’ve been a lifelong Democrat, and the Democratic Party of today in California—I do not… pic.twitter.com/wauPA10wcu
Tim’s (and Kamala’s) disastrous policies have plunged this country into a black hole of despair. How do they counter that? Well, if you’re a liberal, you treat Americans like they’re clueless and pretend everything that’s tearing us apart is actually “great.” They better cook up a better strategy, because real Americans are just getting started on this ticket that is straight from the pit of hell. Things are about to turn very ugly, very fast.
Just when you think it can’t get any worse for the Dastardly Duo, more dirt surfaces. Now we can add “wide open borders” to the list of radical issues Harris and Walz are pushing, thanks to some old info that’s made its way back to the surface.
Who can forget when Kamala Harris likened the hardworking men and women of ICE to the KKK? That old video has resurfaced, perfectly timed to undermine Kamala and Tampon Tim.
Another video from the Kamala Harris memory hole. You guys remember when she compared ICE to the KKK?
This is the woman who, if elected, will have all the power of the executive branch and will decide our immigration policy.
After all, you have to admit that likening ICE to the “KKK” and showing up at an ABOLISH ICE march reveals a deep commitment to keeping our borders wide open and fully vulnerable. Maybe that’s why Kamala, the so-called “border czar,” hardly shows up at the border or does anything to curb the Biden/Harris invasion. With their support for Abolish ICE and Defund the Police, it’s clear that Kamala and Tampon Tim are pushing for a lawless country overrun by foreign illegals and ruthless criminals. Is that the kind of country you want? Vote wisely. (Emphasis mine.)
“The old man nodded. “Those who don’t build must burn. It’s as old as history and juvenile delinquents.””
-Faber to Guy Montag, in Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451
Despite our country needing to be unburdened by what has been the last three-and-a half years, the Democratic party, caretaker of decline, is foisting Kamala Harris upon the nation. Burning it all down needed a smiley facelift.
Put another way: to show its continued disdain and hatred of all things American, including you, me, and democracy, the Democratic party – the party of “preachy women”, of soy boys and the apron-string attached, of suborned reality, of thrusting men into women’s spaces, of censorship, show trials, cheating and “Democracy!”, of celebrity hype, and wealth transfer by any means necessary including war and green policies, of record inflation, of smash and grab, of masks and mandates, of open borders, fentanyl deaths and favoring criminals over victims – has, in furtive fashion, nominated the failed border and broadband czar and socialist to be their Maduro for president.
This is the same party that allowed sinister Hillary Clinton to rob presidential candidate socialist Bernie Sanders of the Democratic nomination that now anoints zero-votes socialist Kamala Harris, once the most liberal senator in Congress, to be their DEI hire in the White House.
The same party that told us that the 2020 election wasn’t stolen just stole the 2024 nomination from their own party member.
Victor Davis Hanson writes on X: Democracy Really Is Dying in Darkness—But by Whom?
Never in modern presidential history has a political party staged a veritable inside coup to remove their current president from his ongoing candidacy for his party’s nomination and reelection.
Stranger still, the very elites and grandees, who now are using every imaginable means of deposing Biden as their nominee, are the very public voices that just weeks ago insisted that candidate Biden was “sharp as a tack” and “fit as a fiddle.” And they damned any who thought otherwise! . . .
So, to make sense of what these self-appointed and sanctimonious protectors of democracy are trying to pull off demands an Orwellian vocabulary—memory hole, newspeak, unperson, and groupthink.
Kamala Harris: “Unburdened by what has been” – an Indian-American past
Kamala ‘Chameleon‘ Harris has become opportunistically black to suit her political purposes.
Paul Gottfried writes, in What ‘Black’ Really Means to the Left, that “Part of what now defines blackness is holding leftist political views.” And, . . .
The larger point made by [Miranda] Devine and by Matt Boose on at Chronicles is of course correct. Kamala Harris has no fixed identity other than her career as a leftist minority celebrity-victim, the details of which she’s been free to change with media assistance. In this respect, she’s like Al Sharpton, the Obamas, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and other media darlings, who have been able to change their stands or obliterate no longer useful aspects of their past, with lots of outside help.
No DEI here:
Vivek on Kamala's Heritage:
"Many Indian-Americans in the US are indeed somewhat offended by the way Kamala has suddenly cast aside the Indian-American side of identity… She wore that when it was convenient. She's wearing a different identity now." pic.twitter.com/Si7Pzk7zRJ
Now, with the border as a top election issue, the media is scrambling to change the narrative. They’re pushing the claim that Kamala was never officially appointed ‘border czar.’ Unfortunately for them, the internet remembers everything.
Kamala Harris: “Unburdened by what has been” – a Broadband Czar Position
Kamala was put in charge of the broadband distribution and she opted to do nothing, apparently to protect her image. She must have known she would fail.
Joe Biden tapped Kamala Harris to serve as the rural broadband czar in 2021. Part of her task was overseeing the implementation of a $42 billion program to connect Americans in rural and remote parts of the country to the Internet. According to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) member Brendan Carr, however, after almost 1,000 days, not a single person has actually been connected to the web. (Emphasis mine.)
As polls show America’s young men are lurching rightward at a rapid pace, the Democratic brand has finally evolved into the party of scolding shrews, nagging Karens and “preachy females,” as Dem dinosaur James Carville calls them.
Its image is tied to a type of unserious, self-involved, neurotic, dogmatic Dem-fem who insists on telling you her pronouns and whose highest goal is abortion on demand right up until the moment of birth.
And there’s more Kringe . . .
The Kamala Harris rally in Atlanta yesterday couldn’t have been more ghetto.
Black people, the democrats have had a choke hold on us for too long. They’ve done nothing for the black community other than pander.
Team Kamala is showing its desperate true colors. Kamala in such bad shape that she’s now begging for white votes. Recently, they launched a cringeworthy “White Dudes for Harris” campaign featuring out-of-touch elites and effeminate poofs gushing over Kamala. It went about as well as you’d expect and spawned a plethora of hilarious online memes. . .
This time, it’s “White Women for Harris,” and they’ve got a real doozy heading up this cringe fest. Enter Arielle Fodor, arguably the most insufferable human being on the planet, who is, of course, the voice of the “White Women for Harris” campaign.
“As white women we need to use our privilege to make positive changes.”
Former teacher turned “influencer” infantilizes the “white women for Kamala Harris” and suggests that white women should never “correct” black women. pic.twitter.com/uj00SfwZb9
Columnist Camilla Long, despite being unfriendly to former President Donald J. Trump, bemoans the way “All [Harris’s] faults, flaws, back story are now also being hastily tidied away, as [Joe] Biden’s were; the snafus, word salads, ‘border tsar’ errors drowned out.”
“This is the first true AI election: synthetic candidates are magicked up almost out of nowhere, suddenly given huge projection, campaigns, ready-made armies of Twitter followers. They’re mere products,” Long argues.
Less than 300 people are in attendance to see Kamala and Gov. Shapiro. The capacity of the Wissahickon H.S. auditorium is 3,500 people.
Data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the Biden-Harris government is continuing to replace native-born American workers with immigrant labor entering the country both legally and illegally. Over the last year, native-born Americans have seen total job losses hit 1.2 million. Meanwhile, foreign-born employment has risen by 1.3 million jobs. (Emphasis mine.)
The Joe Biden–Kamala Harris government has halted a controversial program allowing up to 30,000 migrants per month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the U.S. legally through so-called parole powers. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed the suspension after an internal report uncovered significant fraud in sponsor applications.
While [Biden-Harris] policies have resulted in a steep rise in the price of energy over the past few years, they absolutely pale in comparison to what Kamala Harris would have in store should she become the next president of the United States.
Like most of her Democrat colleagues, Kamala Harris clearly believes that climate change is an “existential threat.” However, her policy agenda to combat climate change makes her far more radical than President Biden, and most other Democrats.
Pay no attention to the sky-high interest ratesmaking home ownership unaffordable or the sky-high inflation that has doubled the cost of basic necessities. So what if the average person’s paycheck barely covers monthly gas and grocery bills?Presidential hopeful Kamala Harris identifies as a female “person of color.” She is a shiny object that should help everyone forget about personal financial troubles. (Emphasis mine.)
Kamala Harris once said a "70% to 80% tax rate" and saying "every car should be eliminated in the next 11 years" are "bold ideas that should be discussed" 🥴 pic.twitter.com/ATHOuLLk78
To overwhelm the system, law and order must be destroyed and replaced with government handouts to pacify the masses. To wit:
Harris said in the June radio interview the movement “rightly” called out the amount of money spent on police departments instead of community services such as education, housing, and healthcare, emphasizing that more police did not equate to more public safety.
Vice President Kamala Harris toured a Planned Parenthood clinic in Minnesota on Thursday, becoming what is believed to be the first president or vice president ever to visit a clinic that provides abortion services in U.S. history.
It’s easy to mock word-salad Kamala Harris. Her mind on Marxist, Maoist and Green isms has become mush, her talk, spoonsful of regurgitated pablum. But with such an otherworldly aura she maintains the charisma of a feisty radical in the minds of suburban women who take in MSNBC, CNN, the NYT and WaPo for their daily groupthink.
Let’s not forget: Kamala was put in charge of the border and she did what the basically lazy Marxists of a Cloward-Piven mindset do: She sat back and let things collapse into crisis to overwhelm the system and aggregate power to the state and to herself thereby leading to the complete control of citizens through Socialism/Communism and control of outcomes. She’s a proud communist.
Kamala Harris explains to voters why she's a proud Communist.

Despite our country needing to be unburdened by what has been the last three-and-a half years, the Democratic party, caretakers of America’s decline, is not only foisting Kamala Harris upon the nation, it is also fostering division and hate.

This from the party that pushes DEI, the run-amok spawn of racist affirmative action, but now views it like a “scarlet letter” that Kamala shouldn’t be forced to wear. Yet, she, and justice Ketanji Jackson Brown, don’t seem to mind being a “DEI hire” for Joe Biden and the Dems.
This from the party Miranda Devine describes: Its [Mean Girl] image is tied to a type of unserious, self-involved, neurotic, dogmatic Dem-fem who insists on telling you her pronouns and whose highest goal is abortion on demand right up until the moment of birth.
This from the party that wants Kamala Harris to be geo-strategist leader of the free world
KAMALA — UNSCRIPTED FOR THE FIRST TIME:
"This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy."
This is the most crucial time in our country’s history. Should the ship of state be piloted by someone whose only competence is that she plays to perfection her role as prom queen placeholder for radical Leftist policies?
It’s time for America to grow up and to stop playing with DEI Barbie.

‘Shepherds for Sale’ by Megan Basham | National Review
A vicious, conniving, immoral, unpopular, third-rate politician with extreme radical views has come to within an inch of the presidency. Kamala Harris could be sitting in the Oval Office as soon as next week. She is far from the best America has to offer. “In a functioning meritocracy,” said Tucker Carlson, “Kamala Harris would be a C-list massage therapist working out of a strip mall. Yet somehow she became our vice president. How’d that happen?”
Just the other day I received email from a local Democrat representative, one of our Build Back Betters:
Dear Friend,
Every day, I hear from constituents about the financial stress and anxiety they experience as a result of rising prices of necessities like groceries and gas. I understand the worry this creates. That is why I put together an update on how I’m fighting inflation with resources to help lower costs for you and your families.
But let’s be clear: Big oil needs to be held accountable for their role in the sky-high prices we are experiencing. Last year, the five largest oil companies made over $75 billion in profits, the highest increase in seven years. This gouging along with Russia’s unwarranted aggression in Ukraine has led to supply chain issues and higher prices for American families. That is why I introduced the Stop Price Gouging Tax and Rebate Act to hold big oil companies accountable while providing families a $100 monthly tax credit to offer immediate relief. (Emphasis mine.)
From her website:
How is it that under Trump we didn’t have “rising prices of necessities like groceries and gas.” How is it that under Trump there was no energy crisis? And no Putin-Ukraine conflict? Do you think the 40-year high inflation has to do with the current Democrat regime policies and not with corporations and oil and gas companies, the Dems favorite scapegoats?
First, he declared open war on domestic American energy, from pipelines to drilling, prioritizing a radical eco agenda over dependable and affordable American domestic energy. Then, he and Chuck and Nancy embarked on a truly exorbitant borrowing and spending spree that sent interest rates and prices for nearly every conceivable physical asset soaring. Finally, he issued draconian and unscientific workplace vaccine mandates – many of which still remain in place – that prevented full staffing in key industries like trucking and logistics for supply lines. -Steve Cortes
Supposedly, the Stop Gas Price Gouging Tax and Rebate Act would lower energy costs for Americans with a tax rebate. Households will receive a monthly, advanced, and refundable tax credit that will be phased out for single filers earning more than $75,000 and joint filers earning more than $150,000 per year.
You see, Democrats create a problem, blame someone else (e.g., corporate greed) and then offer for us to keep our money (e.g., I’m fighting inflation with resources) as a panacea.
Not only have Joe Biden and the Democrats created horrible economic conditions with uncompromising Green energy policies, they are intent on harming people with uncompromising mandates and vaccines. Whatever is good, Democrats do the opposite.
You won’t get reality from the effete and greedy corporate media – CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News, NYT, WaPo, etc. No. Instead, you get their social-emotional learning narratives. Democrats, like the rep above, parrot media narratives.
I have questions that the media won’t delve into:
Why is the U. S. involved in a proxy war to uphold a corrupt socialist oligarchy and jeopardizing our national security and readiness?
Why is Joe Biden trying to escalate conflict?
"For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power," Biden says of Vladimir Putin. pic.twitter.com/9QY9QidUZS
Macron is criticizing Biden for calling Putin “a butcher”. The French president says it’s not constructive.
“I would not use that kind of language. If a ceasefire is to be brokered, we must not escalate — neither through words nor actions.” pic.twitter.com/REzBTzJWc5
The U.S. is sending $33 billion in aid to Ukraine. Meanwhile, this is Los Angeles.
You can be sure that media coverage of the Ukraine-Russia conflict is a distraction. It is meant to have you look away at what is happening here at home – the invasion on our southern border (2 million+ in 2021 and soon, 2022 also) and the devastating Green economic policies that destroy life as we know it to save the planet, save face and pad bank accounts.
Why is the media focused on Ukraine’s border when our southern border is being overrun by all kinds of opportunistic moochers?
Why is the Biden regime promoting illegal immigration? Foreigners wanting a better situation than the one they fostered in their own country is not sufficient legal ground for their immigration to take place.
Why are NGOs like Catholic Charities aiding and abetting the takeover of our country?
Why? “Corporations and liberal non-profits are currently organizing a mass invasion of the United States, endangering our national security and the safety of our communities.” – Rep. Lance Gooden
Why are Obama/Biden and Democrats afraid of truth (i.e., losing control of the narrative that hides their evil ways), hence the creation of the “Disinformation Governance Board” akin to Orwell’s 1984 Ministry of Truth)?
What is the Biden crime family hiding? Nina Jankowicz formerly worked as an advisor to the Ukrainian government under a Fulbright-Clinton Fellowship.

The Left loves ESG. The Left hates humans. Climate change is just another scheme to hate on humans. And, another litigious way to transfer money and control:
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink believes in “forcing behaviors.” “Behaviors are going to have to change and this is one thing we are asking companies, you have to force behaviors and at Blackrock, we are forcing behaviors”
The Securities and Exchange Commission voted 3-1 to advance a proposed rule requiring public companies to disclose climate risks. . .
The main intent of the rule is to make it easier for left-leaning asset managers like BlackRock, public pension funds and trial lawyers to bully companies. Public companies will be liable for climate disclosures the SEC deems inaccurate or incomplete.
Across the country, we’re in the midst of an unprecedented explosion in homeschooling and alternative education. The main triggers were Covid-19 shutdowns and masking policies.

24 years post 9/11, New York City welcomes Jihad
New York City, home to about one million Jews, voted in the Democratic mayoral primary for a Shia Muslim deeply critical of Israel.
Zohran Mamdani wants to “globalize the intifada” – a slogan used by pro-Palestinian activists that calls for worldwide support for Palestinian resistance against Israel and Jews involving violence. Mamdani does this with the handwashing tact of standing up for Palestinian human rights.
Mamdani supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.
The hook for NYC’s wealthy champagne socialists who need to virtue signal eyes away from their wealth and for the young and restless urbanites who can’t afford rent in NYC: Mamdani is a 33-year-old member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
Andrew Cuomo dominated the voting among those making under $50K, but Mamdani beat Cuomo by 20 points among voters earning more than $100,000 a year.
Why did New Yorkers vote this way? Sean Ring at https://www.rudeawakening.info/ had this to say:
Mamdani’s campaign was a symbolic war against the status quo. Today’s left doesn’t organize labor. It organizes narratives.
And that’s why wealthy, well-fed urbanites feel perfectly comfortable voting for a candidate whose policies might, in theory, hurt their pocketbooks.
Because in 2025, feeling good beats doing good. . .
Welcome to the revolution, brought to you by people who can afford it

Zohran Mamdani Admits He Hates Capitalism… Allied With Socialist Operative Linked To Marxist Terror Group:
Americans were stunned last week when foreign-born, self-proclaimed socialist Zohran Mamdani used CNN as a platform to denounce capitalism—the very system that transformed this country from frontier towns into a global superpower. Capitalism has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty, built a middle class, and fueled rapid technological innovation—outcomes impossible under socialist regimes, as evidenced by an imploding Europe adopting welfare-state models or failed communist states like Cuba.
Like all communist organizers (cf. Obama), the 33-year-old progressive democratic socialist promises an anticapitalism world (with no rising seas or costs) if you just give up all common sense and any understanding of free-market economics (I, Pencil provides understanding) and vote (and pay dearly later) for the revolution. (It’s no secret that capitalism’s profits pay for socialism’s follies.)
Mandani, in order to control costs (read seize the means of production and central planning), says that he wants to freeze rents and provide free transportation and universal childcare, create city-owned grocery stores and construct 200,00 affordable housing units.
He also wants to raise New York City’s minimum wage to $30 by 2030, thereby pricing people out of jobs.
How will Mandani fill the coffers of socialism? With racism: NYC’s Mamdani Wants Higher Taxes for ‘Whiter Neighborhoods.’
“Shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods.” – Zohran for New York City policy memo.
Mamdani, using the narrative of the left, wants to defund the NYPD and abolish prisons.
NYC’s new Marxist messiah wants to empty the jails and crown criminals as victims…
He promises to work against U.S. laws to continue Welcoming the Stranger/Fellow Traveler from other failed socialist countries. He will double down on sanctuary city protections for illegals and end cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Welcome to the revolution.
Like fellow travelers Tim Waltz and Kamala Harris, Mamdani defended the Black Lives Matter riots in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 2020. He described the violence (read intifada struggle) as necessary and grounded in racial justice solidarity.
Not only will Mamdani work against U.S. laws, he will also work against nature itself. He’s Pledging $65 Million for Trans Health Care.
Did NYC Democrats not see the destruction of the palisades and LA by the incompetent leadership of California’s Governor Gavin Newsom and inclusion’s DEI hire Mayor Karen Bass? With this recent vote, do NYC Democrats also approve of the wholesale destruction of their blue city?
Do Democrats in NYC not remember Gavin Newsom eating without mask or social distancing at the French Laundry during the COVID lockdowns? With this recent vote, do NYC Democrats also approve of the hypocrisy of a society that claims to promote equality while allowing a ruling class to dominate?
Mamdani was born in Uganda and briefly lived in South Africa. He became a U.S. citizen in 2018. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Africana studies from Bowdoin College.
No doubt the 33-year-old has been steeped in the anti-American anti-Capitalism rhetoric and Islamic Jihad teaching. It appears that he knows nothing of American history or of Communism’s deadly and destructive track record.
“Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” -George Santayana
Welcome to the revolution. Welcome To Crazy Town – New York Commits Political Suicide
Welcome to Jihad.
From Welcoming Jihad in NYC to Globalized Intifada – The Holy War Against Christians in Nigeria
I’m sure you’ve heard the following reported in the main stream media.
But then again, the reactionary MSM is busy defending the globalist Jihad of the “Welcoming the Stranger” open borders narrative and dissing the law-and-order activity of the Trump administration done to secure the integrity of the United States and the wellbeing of its citizens.
(No doubt some, including some Christians, believe that the morally relativistic “social justice” is a permissive that allows them moral authority to break laws created by representatives of our Republic’s Democracy to maintain order and the common good.)
What’s happening and been happening in Nigeria is Jihad. But it’s not the ghetto-uprising kind of a NYC socialist Jihadist. Here are five articles describing the horrors of Islamist Jihad:
Beneath the silence of the Western press, a genocide is unfolding — one that has claimed the lives of over 3,100 Christians in Nigeria this year alone. And yet, for all the blood spilled, for all the churches burned and children slain, one would be hard-pressed to find even a whisper of coverage from CNN, the BBC, or The New York Times. The slaughter of Christians, it seems, is not newsworthy in today’s media economy. (Emphasis mine.)
Western Media Silent As Slaughter of Christians Intensifies in Nigeria
In a horrifying escalation of violence, between 100 and 200 Christians were murdered by Fulani jihadist herdsmen in Nigeria’s Benue State, according to multiple sources. (Emphasis mine.)
Jihadis butcher 200 Nigerian Christians in fresh massacre
Jihadist violence continues to escalate in Nigeria, and Christians are particularly at risk from targeted attacks by Islamist militants, including Fulani fighters, Boko Haram and ISWAP (Islamic State West Africa Province). These increased under the rule of former president Muhammadu Buhari, putting Nigeria at the epicentre of targeted violence against the church. The government’s failure to protect Christians and punish perpetrators has only strengthened the militants’ influence. (Emphasis mine.)
Nigeria · Serving Persecuted Christians Worldwide
Nigeria, the most populated country in Africa, faces a harsh reality for its Christian population. Since the early 2000s, over 62,000 Christians have lost their lives to violence driven by extremist groups like Boko Haram, Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), and Fulani militias. (Emphasis mine.)
The Silent Slaughter: Christian Persecution in Nigeria and Central Africa
[Bishop Wilfred Anagbe] added that for his people, their experience today “can be summed up as that of a Church under Islamist extermination.” (Emphasis mine.)
‘This is genocide,’ charity says as ‘barbaric massacres’ target Christians in Nigeria
Nigerian martyrs cry out in a loud voice, “Holy and true Master! How much longer are you going to put off giving judgement, and avenging our blood on the earth-dwellers?” -Revelation 6:10
~~~
No more word games. How are we to understand intifada and jihad? As merely a personal struggle against, say, cigarette smoking? As a struggle against an oppressor? As a non-violent ghetto uprising involving work stoppages, boycotts and demonstrations that might involve small weapons such as rocks or Molotov cocktails, and on some occasions firearms or grenades?
Are we to understand intifada as the October 7th attack on Israel when Gaza militants fired thousands of rockets towards Israeli towns killing more than 1,400 people, including civilians and soldiers, and took up to 150 hostages.
Some, like Daniel Lefkowitz, consider “intifada and genocide” in the same sentence to be “an unreasonable stretch.” But looking at what happened on October 7th and at what has been happening in Nigeria, is it a stretch?
“Globalize the intifada” is a call for a Muslim holy war or spiritual struggle for the propagation or defense of Islam that involves genocide and now wants to employ the unholy terror of Communism.
The New York mayoral Democratic primary candidate defends “Globalize the intifada.”
(I don’t hear pro-Israel war hawk “Tel Aviv Levin” decrying the violence done to Christians in Nigeria by Jihadists.)
