Electing Communists

I’m so old, I can remember when it would have been unthinkable to run for office as a Communist or a socialist. Were those the good old days, or what?

Once upon a time, stealing from others was considered wrong. Punto, finis, basta. Most elementary school kids were able to master it.
Today, petty theft is not only rampant, owing to the reign of Soros district attorneys who don't prosecute crime, it's being celebrated by the rich, radical chic elites.
The New York Post presents this charmer from the breed:
A longtime staff writer for the New Yorker known for bashing capitalism bragged that she has stolen from her local Whole Foods “on several occasions” in a New York Times podcast. Jia Tolentino, 37, made the shocking admission while joining left-wing streamer Hasan Piker and Times’ opinion culture editor Nadja Spiegelman
Looks to be a race on to see whose assets shrink fastest: Ilhan Omar from “better accounting,” or the Southern Poverty Law Center from criminal prosecution, fines, and more lawsuits to come. (By the way, why hasn’t Omar or someone ever launched the Northern Poverty Law Center? Is there something extra special about southern poverty?) Move over turtles: It’s frauds all the way down. (Plus, did you know that pickleball is now one of the leading problems in America? See the headline section.)

Shocking, I know.
It turns out that the Southern Poverty Law Center was funded by USAID. More specifically, USAID funded the "Vote Your Voice" program at the SPLC through the Tides Center (a left-wing NGO-funding organization).
And you just thought your USAID dollars were funding poor kids in Africa or something. (X) The NGO funding machine is getting harder to ignore.
USAID funneled $27 million through the Tides Center, with some of it going directly into the Southern Poverty Law Center.
For years, the liberal left inside the federal government hijacked nonprofits as pass-through vehicles; a legal loophole to launder taxpayer dollars into partisan left-wing networks like SPLC.
Old and busted: If at first you don't succeed, try try again. New hotness: If at twice you have succeeded and you're still stuck with your bete noire ... maybe it's time to examine your strategy.
Don't expect "resistance-minded House Democrats, as Axios calls them, to learn anything from history. As the odds of a Democrat midterm victory in the lower chamber increase, the progressives in the caucus have begun agitating for – what else? – the impeachment of Donald Trump. For the third time. After voters emphatically returned him to office.
What could go wrong? We'll apparently find out on Day One of the next session of Congress if the lunatics
Leftists Are Destroying Social Trust

Any sane person, meaning anybody to the right of the median Democrat, knows that Liberalism and prosperity depend on free markets, the rule of law, and basic civil liberties.
Without a high degree of social trust, none of those things is possible.
Robert Putnam's 1993 book, Making Democracy Work, explored this very topic by examining Italy's regions and asking, "Why are Northern and Central Italy prosperous, but Southern Italy and Sicily not?"
It's simple enough: Northern Italy has a long history of civic engagement and social trust developed over time, and Southern Italy is tribal, run by extended gangs called families.

Why Do Democrats Hate America?
13 replies
Democrats and their ideological allies really do hate America.
Earlier this week, Democrat Senator Chris Murphy highlighted a disputed news story claiming that a shadow fleet of several dozen Iranian vessels had successfully eluded the U.S. Navy’s blockade near the Strait of Hormuz. Above what appears to have been Iranian propaganda, Murphy wrote one word: “Awesome.” How much does a Democrat senator have to hate the country he putatively represents to root for a foreign enemy presently engaged in battle with the United States?
Murphy’s choice to side with Iran’s Islamic terrorists over American servicemembers should surprise no-one.
Greg Gutfeld absolutely destroyed Jessica Tarlov on The Five on Thursday, and boy did things get crazy. It was the kind of television that makes you put down your phone and actually pay attention. The two went back and forth, screaming at each other over the question of whether the American right-wing threat narrative has always been overblown, ginned up, or an outright fabrication.
And boy did Gutfeld come in swinging… and he never really stopped, either.
It started when Tarlov pushed back on Gutfeld's characterization of hate crime hoaxes, demanding examples. Gutfeld was ready.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has awarded itself far more grace than it deserves by having the word “poverty” in its name, which conjures up images of bootstrap liberal attorneys who live and work like the fictional Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird. The founders of the organization, in 1971, integrated a myth that became a legend in the very naming of the organization. From a branding standpoint, this is an amazing feat. But author Harper Lee took a shot at her own iconic character with a sequel to that story that, in light of this week's news, strikes an interesting parallel.
Now it seems that this fictional archetype
The Invention of White Supremacy

The Southern Poverty Law Center scandal is reverberating everywhere today. We always knew the SPLC was a fraud perpetrated for the benefit of the Democratic Party, but I, for one, never imagined that it was actually funding the organizations that it excoriated. But with hindsight, it makes sense: the SPLC needed to keep alive absurd groups like the Ku Klux Klan to keep the money coming in, so that it could smear completely innocent organizations like Turning Point USA, Coral Ridge Ministries, the David Horowitz Freedom Center and the Family Research Council, which was its true purpose.
This is what makes the claim of SPLC’s defenders that
I was on active duty in the Navy in 1979 when the mullahs replaced the Shah and started their special Islamic revolution. I never served in Vietnam but was stationed with a number of veterans of that war, and was surprised when so many of them started repeating what became almost a chant in our unit: “Nuke them, nuke them. Nuke them ‘til the sands turn to glass.” I was working in a big hospital, and the chanters were mainly doctors and corpsmen. They were, as we might say nowadays, kidding, not kidding.
I knew they were bitter about the outcome of the war in Southeast Asia, but I wondered
Virginia used to be a model of fair redistricting. That reputation is now gone.
On Tuesday, Virginia Democrats passed a redistricting plan that transforms one of the most fairly apportioned states in the country into one of the most blatantly gerrymandered.
Keep in mind that Virginia only narrowly backed Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in 2024 by roughly five points. Virginia is, in every way, a battleground state. Yet under the new map, nearly half the state’s voters effectively lose their voice. The new lines snake from densely packed, heavily Democratic suburbs deep into rural territory. There is nothing democratic about it.

This forecast does not look good. Archaeologists might need to locate Noah’s lost ark sooner than we think. By 2085, over a third of all land animals’ habitats could be adversely impacted by extreme weather events such as fires and floods, should temperatures continue to surge worldwide, per an alarming study in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution. If we don’t reverse course, this “Day After Tomorrow”-esque confluence of events could potentially expedite extinctions.

A Virginia state senator told colleagues he understands rural America because he grew up watching “The Dukes of Hazzard.”
Democratic state Sen. Lamont Bagby made the claim during a floor debate on the state’s gerrymandering amendment, according to video posted by WJLA reporter Nick Minock. Bagby pushed back on Republicans who argued Democrats have no grasp of rural life.
“I grew up watching the Waltons. I grew up with Opie. I even watched the Dukes of Hazzard. I think I know a little bit about rural America,” Bagby said, apparently referencing “The Waltons” and “The Andy Griffith Show” alongside the hit CBS series. He then rattled off characters from
The Department of Justice on Friday directed the Bureau of Prisons to expand death penalty protocols to include pentobarbital injections and firing squads as part of broader actions to strengthen the federal death penalty. "Today, the Department of Justice acted to restore its solemn duty to seek, obtain, and implement lawful capital sentences — clearing the way for the Department to carry out executions once death-sentenced inmates have exhausted their appeals," the DOJ memo obtained by Fox News read.
"Among the actions taken are readopting the lethal injection protocol utilized during the first Trump Administration, expanding the protocol to include additional manners of execution such as the firing squad, and streamlining
Following direct remarks from both Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, a triggered Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says the U.S. will not be permitted to dictate terms of the USMCA renegotiation, now scheduled for formal talks with Mexico only beginning May 25th.According to the Canadian leadership they do not need the United States in order to maintain their economy. The unfortunate people of Canada are very close to finding out exactly what that level of arrogance delivers.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Millions more Americans might qualify for dual Canadian citizenship under a recent change to Canada’s requirements that has led to a surge in applications from its southern neighbor.
For people like Zack Loud of Farmington, Minnesota, it was a surprise to learn that under a new law, Canada already considered him and his siblings citizens because their grandmother is Canadian.
“My wife and I were already talking about potentially looking at jobs outside the country, but citizenship pushed Canada way up on our list,” he said. Since the new law took effect on Dec. 15, immigration lawyers in the United States and Canada say they have been overwhelmed

Now that the Southern Poverty Law Center is being exposed, it is important to look back at some of the outrageous claims made by this group in the past.
It is absolutely amazing to think that in 2015, they put Dr. Ben Carson on an ‘extremist’ list. Is ‘extremist’ one of the words that comes into your mind when you think of Carson?
Perhaps when they targeted one of the most renowned and highly respected pediatric brain surgeons in the entire country in this way, it was a clue that they were not operating in good faith.
They were eventually forced to take Carson off the list and then apologized…
Big-name donors to the Southern Poverty Law Center, including George Clooney and George Soros, have stayed silent amid allegations that the nonprofit funneled more than $3 million to the hate groups it claimed to fight.
The SPLC was charged with wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering on Wednesday for allegedly bankrolling at least eight leaders and members of extremist groups — all behind the backs of their deep-pocketed benefactors.
The foundations of Clooney and Soros, along with MGM Resorts and other high-profile backers, haven’t spoken up about the Justice Department indictment.

to put more officers on streets amid crime surge 12 replies
Cincinnati police chief Teresa Theetge was fired Thursday for ineffective leadership and failing to put more police officers on the street amid a crime surge despite the city manager begging her to do so.
Theetge, who has been in the role since 2022 but was a police officer for 35 years, was placed on administrative leave in October over her failure to bring down the city's violent crime rate.
"I recognize Chief Theetge’s more than 35 years of service to the Cincinnati Police Department and to this City." Cincinnati City Manager Sheryl Long told Fox News. "At the same time, after completing this review, it’s become
Iran Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei hasn’t released an audio or video message since assuming power because his face was badly burned in Israeli airstrikes on Feb, 28, according to a report — as President Trump says peace talks are inhibited by a lack of clear leadership in Tehran.
Khamenei, 56, “does not want to appear vulnerable or sound weak,” four Iranian officials told the New York Times, adding that one of the ayatollah’s legs has been “operated on three times, and he is awaiting a prosthetic,” while he also has had surgery on one of his hands.
“His face and lips have been burned severely,
Billionaire Ken Griffin is appalled after Mayor Zohran Mamdani spotlighted his Manhattan penthouse in a viral video announcing a new pied-à-terre tax – and the hedge fund titan signaled he might even yank a $6 billion development project in the city.
In a video last week, Mamdani beamed as he stood in front of the Citadel founder’s 24,000-square-foot property at 220 Central Park South – which he scooped up for $238 million in 2019, the most expensive home sale in the country.
“We’ve secured a pied-à-terre tax,” the 34-year-old Democratic socialist rejoiced in the April 15 video.

An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Friday that the upcoming talks between their government and the United States will be facilitated by Pakistan and therefore, they will not have direct peace negotiations with the Trump administration.
President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff are expected to head to Islamabad, Pakistan, this weekend for the next round of peace talks at Iran's request.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will meet with Pakistani officials as part of its efforts to end the "American imposed war of aggression and the restitution of peace in our region."
