  • A progressive learns that ‘defund the police’ only works when you’re rich and safe

    The division in America doesn’t just allow for people to access luxurious material goods, but also lets them act out a life of luxurious beliefs. Void of real problems like choosing between eating or paying the rent and having legitimate concerns over their physical safety, America’s progressive elitists prescribe unrealistic solutions to problems they are personally distant from, which they can afford to be wrong about because the ramifications of failure don’t usually occur on their side of the tracks. Reality begins where luxury ends, however, because it’s difficult to maintain a lavish fantasy when a nonbeliever robs you of...

    The modern administrative state is anti-constitutional and directed by an oligarchic 'elite' that is corrupt and distant from the people it rules. This Highlight from Hillsdale College’s FREE Online Course, “Constitution 101: The Meaning and History of the Constitution,” exposes the modern administrative state as the antithesis of Constitutional government. It is unaccountable to American citizens, intrudes on the most minute details of their lives, and is uninterested in protecting their rights.

    Nary a single Democrat in the USA can see it. To them, it’s just one big conspiracy theory. How could America possibly become a communist country, and how is it already transforming, with their voluntary (brainwashed) help, into one? Take a good look at communist theories and principles, and any laymen can see, without a doubt, that the US government is attempting to control 100 percent of all means of wealth, resources, media, and healthcare, in an attempt to make the nation classless and stateless. Pay close attention, and you will see the forest for the trees. Here are the...
  • Hawaii official concerned with ‘equity’ delayed releasing water for more than 5 hours as wildfires raged: report

    Access to water should be predicated on “conversations about equity,” according to the Hawaii official under fire for delaying access to water during the Maui wildfires. M. Kaleo Manuel, former deputy director of the Hawaii Commission on Water Resource Management, waited for more than five hours to release water during the wildfires that devastated Maui, according to reports. In a livestream debate hosted by the University of Hawaii last year, Manuel described water as a sacred god. “Let water connect us and not divide us,” said Manuel, referring to water distribution on the island. “We can share it, but it...
  • Progressive insurance sued for 'patently unlawful' racism by offering $25,000 grants to help black-owned businesses buy vehicles, but ruling out whites, Asians, Latinos, and others

    Progressive insurance has been sued for 'patently unlawful' racism by offering $25,000 grants to help black-owned businesses buy vehicles — but barring white, Asian, Latino, and other entrepreneurs from applying. The lawsuit was filed by the conservative group America First Legal (AFL) and others on behalf of Nathan Roberts, the owner of Ohio-based Freedom Truck Dispatch, who couldn't apply because he's white. Progressive, which is known for its quirky adverts, did not answer DailyMail.com's requests for comment. They have said the grants were there to help black-owned firms that have historically struggled to access capital. AFL lawyer Gene Hamilton said...

    Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been found guilty by a Swedish court of disobeying a police order at a protest in Malmo last month. The 20-year-old avoided a potential prison sentence and has been fined 2,500 Swedish krona (€216), AFP reports. Greta had pleaded not guilty and told the court: "My actions are justifiable," according to the Sydsvenskan newspaper. "We are definitely not going to back down because of this,” she told reporters after the verdict. “We don't have any laws that long term protect us against the self-destructing greed that we have let [have] full control over the world....

    “The kings of the earth…and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying Let us burst bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” (Psalm 2: 2,3)The Progressive Satanic revolt is war against the Holy Trinity…the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, which in Bakunin’s words are the “cursed and fatal principle of authority.” Thus it proclaims the reign of nothingness, though nothingness nevertheless pregnant with the expectation of fulfillment in the revelation, and finally the actual presence of evil personified…the dark god of this world. It is this dark god (Beelzebul/Baal/Baphomet) and his evil...

    'The Young Turks' host Ana Kasparian warned that journalists risk cancellation for reporting on transgender issuesAna Kasparian, a co-host of the progressive "The Young Turks" show, slammed her fellow liberals Sunday for downplaying the risks involved in giving transgender treatments to minors. Kasparian appeared on a recent episode of the Sitch & Adam show on YouTube where she denounced the transgender politics and cancel culture embraced by much of the modern American left. She talked about the phenomenon of "attacks on straight-news journalists who are doing their jobs," and theorized, "The whole point is to intimidate journalists from doing accurate...

    Dear Amy: Four months before my daughter’s wedding, she told me that her uncle (my brother, “Dave”) would make her feel unsafe if he was a guest. She asked me not to invite him. My daughter is very politically progressive, as are many of her friends, and although she and Dave have always had a good relationship (I thought), he is a conservative voter and has supported candidates we all abhor. Dave has always been very nice, so my daughter’s request surprised me.

    Washington Examiner ^ | 5/29/23 | Ryan King
    resident Joe Biden admitted on Monday he may not be able to win over all members of his party after striking a debt ceiling deal with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). Progressive Democrats, including Congressional Progressive Caucus Chairwoman Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), as well as Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), and others, have been critical of Biden for working with McCarthy to find a deal. After striking a deal with McCarthy over the weekend, Biden was asked on Monday if the Congressional Progressive Caucus would get on board with the deal. "I don't know," he told a CBS reporter...

    A Philadelphia man canvassing for a progressive organization was fatally shot by a fellow campaign staffer Monday while the two were handing out flyers ahead of the city’s mayoral primary election. Eddie Brokenbough, 46, was struck once in his left armpit by an unidentified 22-year-old staffer around 4 p.m. in the East Germantown neighborhood, police said. Brokenbough was rushed to a nearby hospital but died 15 minutes after he was shot. It is unclear what kicked off the deadly fight, but police believe it stemmed from a prior dispute between the pair, who were both campaigning on behalf of the...

    ChatGPT encourages 'gender transitions' and 'emancipation' for 15-year-olds with conservative parents. (LifeSiteNews) — The era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is upon us, and the AI chatbot ChatGPT, released in November 2022, is one of the most-discussed technological developments in decades. AI is advancing so rapidly that many tech experts are calling on the industry to put a moratorium on further development in order to assess where this is heading, including Elon Musk and the “Godfather of AI” Geoffrey Hinton, who recently left Google in order to warn the public about the dangers of AI. If you’re interested in understanding the...
  • San Francisco 'mean girl' progressives BAN lesbian Asian from setting up Democrat club in city because its title contained the word 'family' and for backing recall of woke school board

    San Francisco Democrats have been called 'mean girls' after they banned a lesbian Asian from setting up a liberal club in the city. Cyn Wang, who worked for the Obama Administration, attempted to set up a group called the Westside Family Democratic Club, but was stopped because the title contained the word 'family' and for backing a recall of a woke school board. The Chinese immigrant has long been a Democrat, and on paper looks like the perfect candidate to represent a liberal group. Wang voted for Biden in 2020, labeled herself an intersectional feminist, and denounced the Republican Party...

    Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it,” the Book of Proverbs says. To certain right-wing Christians, the concept is simple: A child can be broken, or stamped into shape, much like any domesticated animal. Though all parents hope they’ll pass their values onto their children, for some that hope is more of a mandate. My own parents believe that Proverbs is the word of God, and they believed, too, that a righteous upbringing would produce an adult in their image. Who can blame them? The idea...

The training will include a cybersecurity component implemented by Google and Defending Digital Campaigns, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization focused on digital security in political campaigns. “The Path to Victory program is an exciting opportunity to meet candidates where they are and build a...

    Cultural Marxism is dystopia peddling utopia through grievance narratives and rank emotionalism, the hallmarks of transgenderism. ... In a surreal moment at the Country Music Awards last week, co-host Kelsea Ballerini joined with several drag performers to belt out a campy version of her single, “If You Go Down (I’m Goin’ Down Too),” an anthem taking aim at Tennessee laws denying wrongly named “gender-affirming care” for children. The performance was steeped in queerness, both in the pretend “oppression” of performers literally center stage at a nationally-broadcast awards show and in the academic sense, where drag serves as a kind of...

    Russia’s war was not only made possible by the global fossil fuel addiction; it also helped the largest oil and gas companies reap record profits in 2022. Justice may still be done: a “windfall tax” on this war profit could and should help reconstruct the damage done to Ukraine - if it doesn’t get blocked by oil and gas giant Exxon.The five largest oil and gas companies made bank in 2022, thanks to Russia’s war on Ukraine and the resulting spike in energy prices.
