I don’t need to be convinced of the obvious, that the Marxists are staging a counter-revolution in our Republic. I say “counter-revolution” because the Marxist goal is to overthrow the successful revolution staged by our founders almost two and a half centuries ago. And the enemy is not just “at the gate”; they are, in fact, on the cusp of winning the ultimate prize: total domination of the United States of America.
“Progressive Paradise”
Red Sun Rising
There has been a chilling avatar in the sky here in Boston and all along the northern swath of the U.S.. The midday sun has been turned red and the sky filled with a foul haze due to the huge wild fires out west. They (you know who they are) try to blame it on climate change whereas the real cause is the ignorant, emotionally infantile management of forestry that has held sway as Progressives have assumed the arrogant position that they can control everything – including nature. They have put out and suppressed the small brush fires so long that there is now enough fuel built up to incinerate the trees and the soil itself. This is the perfect metaphor for what is happening to our politics. The whole January 6th inquisition and the destruction of civic order and republican balance of the last year are burning off the very soil in which the republic is rooted. There is indeed a red sun rising.
California’s License to shoplift: Two thieves brazenly stroll out of TJ Maxx with armfuls of clothes
Two men casually walked out of a Los Angeles area TJ Maxx with their arms full of what appears to be stolen goods as brazen shoplifters continue to rampage through California retail stores.
Viral video posted earlier this week shows two men carrying armfuls of jeans, jackets and other apparel as they casually saunter out of a TJ Maxx in the Granada Hills section of the San Fernando Valley north of Los Angeles.
‘That looks great,’ one man is heard saying in the video as the two men head toward the door with the stolen loot, making no haste as they leave.
Progressivism’s Collapse and Why it Matters
A couple of weeks ago, in a lengthy piece at the Weekly Dish, Andrew Sullivan lamented about the “radicalization of the American elite against liberalism.” While this appears so to Sullivan’s eyes, this radicalization doesn’t much involve conversions. It’s not as if card-carrying liberals suddenly became card-carrying leftists of varying stripes. Fellow travelers and quislings there are, but that’s always the case with movements.
These Americans Are So Fed Up With Portland And Sacramento They Want To Redraw State Borders
PORTLAND, Ore. — No state is more emblematic of deepening political and cultural divisions in America than Oregon, where a movement is underway in the state’s more conservative southern and eastern counties to break away from the radically leftist urban centers in the northwest and become part of an enlarged Idaho.
Chesa Boudin’s free pass for shoplifters drives San Francisco store owners to lock all goods behind glass cases
San Francisco is famous for its tech trend-setting, but here’s a different kind of trend-setting now that it’s got a leftist prosecutor who won’t do his job:
Shopping from behind locked glass-case barriers. Not just some goods, but now, all the goods.
Eight People Shot in Downtown Portland Mass Shooting as City Gets More Dangerous by the Day
Portland Police – what’s left of them – report that eight people were shot overnight in a mass shooting in downtown Portland. Portland Police reported that one of the victims had life-threatening injuries. No one died in the shooting. No arrests have been made.
The Cuban Revolution Won’t Be Televised
Because a functional communist state was always a figment of leftists’ imaginations.
Citizens charged their government with repression. The rebuttal came via a truncheon. Some people miss their own irony.
The Cuban government killed one protester, roughed up cameramen for the Associated Press, abducted citizens from their homes, and shut down the internet in response to demonstrations that erupted last weekend. “The order to fight has been given,” President Miguel Díaz-Canel announced. “Into the street, revolutionaries!”
Don’t Even Think About Calling the Cops
For New York City progressives, not even violent crime warrants police intervention.
It’s an article of faith among New York City’s progressive leadership that punishment does not deter crime and that putting criminals in jail is at least as evil as whatever they did to get there. From this perspective, sending someone to jail is the worst thing that society can do: it not only destroys the life of the perpetrator but also creates a false sense of accomplishment, while ignoring the socioeconomic “root causes” of crime.
Biden sends federal ‘strike force’ to Chicago to combat violent crime. It’s ok now because it’s not Trump?
President Joe Biden is sending a federal “strike force” to Chicago as well as major liberal strongholds such as New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., to combat violent crime and “illegal gun trafficking.”
The Department of Justice originally announced the strike force teams. They will be coordinating with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) and will share information with state and local law authorities over guns and related crime. Biden claims the teams will not infringe on Second Amendment rights.
America’s Far-Left Silent As Cubans Cry Out For Freedom From Communist Dictatorship
Top far-left figures in American politics were silent on Sunday as Cubans took to the streets crying out for freedom from the nation’s communist dictatorship.
Videos circulated on social media of Cubans marching in the streets, protesting the impoverished conditions of the island and their lack of freedom under the far-left communist regime. They did so while chanting “Liberty” and “Freedom” and waving an American flag. The communist dictatorship later started cracking down on the protests, allegedly inflicting violence on the unarmed protesters and cutting off internet access.
Gaslights all over: San Francisco D.A. Chesa Boudin smears his critics and defends his record as crime engulfs city
Now that Neiman-Marcus has been openly looted, Target has cut its hours to stave shoplifting losses, and Walgreens can’t take it anymore and has shut 17 stores, what does San Francisco’s pro-criminal far-left district attorney, Chesa Boudin have to say for himself?
Everyone else is at fault. Oh, and he’s got a good record, too.
No Shopping Carts Allowed Outside San Francisco Safeway Amid Theft Concerns
Hoping to stop theft, one San Francisco Safeway is no longer allowing shoppers to take their carts outside the store.
An employee at a Market Street Safeway told NBC Bay Area that dozens of shopping carts have been stolen recently. Published reports say as many as 160 have been taken in the past few weeks.

What’s happening in San Francisco goes far beyond ‘shoplifting’
We’re hearing a lot about the overwhelming number of murders and attempted murders in Chicago and New York. San Francisco has gone in a different direction. It seems to have become the “shoplifting” capital of America. This honor goes along with its long having been the capital of America for car break-ins. It’s so bad that I know suburbanites who refuse to drive in the city.
If you’re going to San Francisco…
