As they experience newfound success across the United States in Democratic primaries, the Democratic Socialists of America have gone on a media blitz to share their vision for America. That vision includes radical changes to the American political system, like abolishing the senate, heavily restricting private markets, and abolishing police and prisons. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) rode a wave of dissatisfaction with the status quo to unprecedented electoral success this year. DSA affiliated candidates and fellow travelers lead New York City and are poised to dominate its congressional delegation. In other areas of the country, DSA candidates are campaigning on a radical platform once unthinkable.

DiJonai Carrington denied that her flagrant foul on Sophie Cunningham was intentional, while remaining coy about her “WHITE PRIVILEGE” post that she wrote on social media over the weekend when she spoke with reporters in Seattle on Monday. Carrington called it “unfortunate” that her attempt to deny a layup by Cunningham — during the Sky’s loss to the Fever on Saturday — occurred the way it did, while noting that it has always been her style of play. “It was unfortunate that I made contact with her in the way that I did, but it was never intentional,” she said,

Senator Marsha Blackburn was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to talk about her campaign to be the next Governor of Tennessee. Blackburn is the Republican nominee and is running against Democrat Jerri Green after she won her primary race last week. “Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn, welcome to you. Congratulations, Senator,” Bartiromo said. “Thank you. It is such an honor and, I really am humbled and grateful to have that Republican nomination for Governor, and look forward to winning in November,” Blackburn said.

Mexican criminal illegal alien who smuggled over 90 firearms into the United States has pleaded guilty to federal weapons charges following an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). Samuel Rodrigo Melo Santos brought the weapons into the country for the purpose of re-selling them to anyone who could buy them, including people who couldn’t legally buy them, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesman told American Greatness, Monday. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon announced that Melo Santos pleaded guilty on August 6 to being an alien in possession of a firearm and making false statements in acquisition of a firearm.

Michigan Democrat Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed hit the Sunday talk shows, including Meet the Press (MTP), to promote his campaign. He's facing difficulties because of his far-left positions and his associations with extremists like Twitch streamer Hasan Piker. He's having difficulties with Democrats who supported Rep. Haley Stevens (MI-11) as well as the working class. MTP anchor Kristen Welker asked him about his closeness to the socialists and how he differed, for example. This was not a great response. I think he thinks he said he was defending capitalism, but it came out like he was attacking corporations anyway. What a jumble. Sure,

Maine has a long history of being pro-gun, at least up until recent years. Sure, it's been a blue state for a very long time, but the outdoor heritage coupled with low crime helped stave off the anti-gun push for generations. It wasn't until Lewiston that everything changed there, which is a shame. But not everyone is thrilled with gun control, and in the race for the Second Congressional District, candidates from both parties are claiming to be the champion for gun rights. There are reasons to doubt one of them, though. LePage, who signed permitless carry into law when he was Maine's governor,

Israeli PM also vows no Palestinian state in Gaza or West Bank while he is in office Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday firmly rejected a 15-point plan for Gaza put forward by President Donald Trump's Board of Peace, declaring that the Israeli military will not make “any withdrawal” from Palestinian territory until Hamas is completely and genuinely disarmed. Speaking at a cabinet meeting, Netanyahu made Israel's position crystal clear: "Israel rejects the 15-point Gaza document proposed by the Board of Peace. The IDF will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed."

With all the trillions of dollars that America’s government wastes on welfare recipients, illegal aliens, Muslim dictatorships, endless litigation with woke judges, aid to hostile nations, and more, the idea that we’re broke over the money and equipment we send to Israel in exchange for invaluable military assistance is laughable. We should cut off Ukraine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Gaza, and many other nations, but not Israel, which is our best ally. Indeed, antisemitism is the only possible explanation for wanting to gut our money to Israel. Joe Biden alone lavished $14 billion of American taxpayers’ money on Islamist groups and governments,

This week six London councils united to protest against new rules on single-sex spaces. These were Lambeth, Waltham Forest, Southwark, Hackney, Haringey and Lewisham, which are apparently “boroughs with some of the highest trans and non-binary communities in the country”. “Trans men are men, trans women are women”, chant the councillors in a video posted on social media, in which they individually deliver dramatic lines (full script below): Councillor Paul Perkins, Leader, Waltham Forest Council (Green): “We serve 1.7 million Londoners and pledge to be boroughs of sanctuary for our trans, non-binary and intersex communities.” Councillor Martin Abrams, Leader of Lambeth Council (Green):

“Politically correct.” I was introduced to that fatuous phrase about 35 years ago while watching an episode of the television series Thirtysomething. The following day, I mentioned it in a casual conversation with a colleague. Confessing that I had never before heard the expression, I told her I found an astounding clumsiness in its construction. “(The character) said it without a hint of irony,” I complained. “Isn’t ‘politically (long pause) correct,’ a contradiction in terms?” “Not at all,” she educated me. “We used it all the time at Occidental,” explaining everything I needed to know. “Some things simply cannot be said,” she continued, “or even thought.”

The Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies have... been targeting their neighbors' civilian infrastructure. Perhaps to these countries, a "deal," even a bad one, sounds as if it might free them of Iranian threats without any cost. Their security calculations have to be quite different from ours: Why not just sit back and let America and Israel do all the heavy lifting? The problem, of course, as the US has seen again and again, like Charlie Brown's football, is that any deal signed with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) would only postpone its threats to the oil and gas infrastructure of neighboring countries.

President Donald Trump got handed an ugly jobs headline Friday. The economy lost 23,000 payroll jobs in July, and revisions erased another 103,000 jobs from May and June. That can't be dressed up; a weak jobs report is a weak jobs report. But buried one line deeper is a number worth noticing. Private employers added 30,000 jobs in July while government payrolls fell by 53,000. If government employment had simply remained flat, the headline number would've been a gain of 30,000 jobs. Statistics can tell very different stories depending on where somebody stops reading. The easiest headline is "23,000 jobs lost." It's accurate, but so is "private employers added 30,000 jobs."
