The Democrats performed well in the elections, albeit thanks to the Republicans’ clumsy blunders. Now the internal battle to choose a presidential candidate truly begins. I assume the talk about Kamala Harris is a joke. My bet is undoubtedly on AOC. No one better represents the ruinous ideas that have dragged the Left into nowhere, into a hodgepodge of hallucinatory, deranged notions situated a hundred thousand light-years away from where things actually happen: reality.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is taking a direct swipe at Muslim extremist candidate Abdul El-Sayed ahead of a critical Michigan race that could decide control of the Senate.
The Democrat doyenne undercut El-Sayed and his Muslim-brotherhood-from-another-motherhood Zohran Mamdani on Donny Deutsch’s On Brand podcast.
I’ve been saying for years that a backlash of Black Americans, and a march off the Democrat plantation, might be the only thing that can save our country. An incident in Detroit in September might indicate such a change.
(Notice that I capitalize the terms “Black” and “White,” as I would out of respect for any ethnicity, although I do not use the term “African-American.”)
The incident in Detroit is reminiscent of one in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY, in 1991, but with a change-up in the casting.
A Monday Instagram post praising Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks sparked conflicting messages from a trio of New York City Democratic Socialists of America groups.
The three groups initially posted the statement jointly with other activist organizations to announce an Oct. 7 protest at New York City Hall, prompting criticism, according to news reports and screenshots posted online. New York City Young Democratic Socialists of America and the City College of New York’s YDSA chapter then removed themselves from the pro-Hamas post, while the third, New School YDSA, still featured it on its account as of Tuesday.
“We need your voice,” Abdul El-Sayed told a sex offender who had been sentenced to prison for sexually soliciting what he thought was a 14-year-old girl online and then for “distributing child sexually abusive material and multiple counts of accosting children for immoral purposes.”
Abdul El-Sayed has plenty to worry about in his Michigan Senate campaign.
First of all, he’s a radical socialist. Secondly, he’s an Islamist. Lastly, and maybe worst of all, he wears pink trash bags and looks like an “oompa loompa.”
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., thinks the problem Democrats had with immigration was not that they allowed millions of illegals to invade the country, but rather that Democrats’ simply failed to explain to Americans that they should be grateful for living with illegal aliens who apparently make communities safer.
During an interview with the CT Mirror, Murphy claimed that President Donald Trump was trying to solve a “fake problem” of mass migration being a threat to the American people.
His name is Ro Khanna, and he’s a Democratic congressman representing California’s 17th district in Silicon Valley. Khanna will likely run for president as a long shot for the party nomination, and as a result, he’s attempting to reach as many voters as possible.
It isn’t just Piker.
After casting his vote in South Carolina, a man who introduced himself as Chestnut was unwilling to give his full name. “You don’t have a need to know,” the air force veteran declared. He was, however, happy to share his views.
“I’m a true American. I believe in the USA,” said the man, outside Christ the Servant Lutheran church in Conway. “And I don’t believe in communism or socialism.”
Several hundred thousand South Carolinians took part in a Republican special runoff on Tuesday, selecting the party’s nominee for US Senate after the sudden death of the veteran lawmaker Lindsey Graham. Darline, his sister, prevailed – in a victory for Donald Trump.
Only at the Guardian.
Back in college, faced with peers who admitted they were communists, I simply laughed and then went about my day. It was among my bigger mistakes.
Those clowns went on to take over our K-12 schools and universities, our medical and law schools, the Smithsonian, the media, and other important institutions.
Each year, the Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA) elects new co-chairs, who also serve on the organization’s National Political Committee. During the first weekend of August, as the DSA held its Socialists Summit, YDSA delegates gathered for their National Convention, where they adopted new resolutions, elected a new National Political Committee, and chose James Hernández and Mae Bracelin as the organization’s new co-chairs.
Some socialists have discovered a convenient new defense for enjoying the spoils of capitalism while demanding its destruction.
Grace Ryan, a former organizer for Brad Lander’s congressional campaign and the daughter of the man behind a $10 million chocolate business, took to social media to defend herself, and fellow privileged Democratic Socialists of America members, for preaching redistribution from behind the comfort of family wealth. Her defense was to invoke the phrase “noblesse oblige,” a phrase rooted in the idea of voluntary generosity, as proof that she has an obligation to help usher in the golden age of socialism.
Two years ago, Zainab Bibi Ahmed thought she had turned her back on the Democrats for good. Now, she is volunteering for the party’s US Senate nominee in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed.
Ahmed was one of 100,000 people to vote uncommitted in the February 2024 Democratic Michigan primary, in a bid to send a message to then US president Joe Biden about his support for Israel, as people watched what Amnesty International later called a “live-streamed genocide” in Gaza on their screens.
That November, Ahmed – a resident of Troy, Michigan, and an academic staffer at Wayne State University – opted to vote for the Green party’s Jill Stein amid calls to punish Democrats over the administration’s support for Israel.
On Saturday’s episode of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the host said the quiet part out loud about his own party’s relationship with Judaism. The exchange came after CNN anchor Dana Bash raised the case of Texas Democrat James Talarico, whose outspoken “Christianity,” she noted, means he “wears his faith on his sleeve” in a way Talarico believes could help him politically. Maher wasn’t buying the idea that all faith gets an equally warm welcome in the Democrat Party.
FACT CHECKED: CNN’s Dana Bash looks uncomfortable as Bill Maher says the Democratic Party is fine with faith “as long as that faith isn’t Jewish.”
BASH: “James Talarico wears his faith on his sleeve in a way that he believes will help him.”
MAHER: “Well, in the Democratic… pic.twitter.com/OcpfF4DNHD

During a heated interview with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) co-chair Ashik Siddique over the party’s statement honoring Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, CNN’s Boris Sanchez suggested Siddique “have more conversations with folks who have fled that regime and what they think about these statements and the position of the DSA.”
It was an earnest ask, especially considering Sanchez’s own grandfather suffered political persecution under Castro. But it also underscored the one mistaken assumption that so many — on both the left and right — make, that is: if the DSA just knew a little bit more about Castro, or Karl Marx, or Marxism, or Maoism, so on and so forth then they’d become some variation of a capitalist, freedom-loving patriot.
