A vote to condemn the “horrors of socialism” passed on a mostly party-line vote Friday, with 98 Democrats voting against it and 199 Republicans voting for it.
The bill passed 285-to-98. No Republicans voted against the bill, although 20 Republicans did not vote.
On the Democrat side, it was far from unanimous, with 86 members voting in favor, and 98 against. Two Democrats voted “present” and 27 did not vote.
The resolution, sponsored by Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., reads, “socialism has repeatedly led to famine and mass murders, and the killing of over 100,000,000 people worldwide,” and recognizes “many of the greatest crimes in history were committed by socialist ideologues.”
There’s a great, laughable irony about a group that claims to want to save the planet, and is willing to resort to thuggery when anyone questions their methods. But the climate-panic group Extinction Rebellion (ER) is one such group. At a recent meeting in Hampton, United Kingdom, an event called “Climate Reality – What’s causing climate change and what can we do about it,” one attendee stood up and questioned not the ER message, but their methods.
What happened then? They silenced him, threw him out, and beat him up.
After the usual cycle of ‘doom, death’ and despair’ followed by the standard ‘if we just spend a lot of money on renewable energy, we’ll save the planet’ narrative the floor was opened for questions.
A few questions in, a gentleman stood up and said that while he agreed with the urgency of the message, the tactics of Extinction Rebellion alienate people rather than persuading them. The panel began interrupting him, urging him to “ask his question or stop” in a rather patronising tone. He calmly continued, explaining how such tactics damage public support. This clearly irritated one of the speakers, a schoolteacher-turned-activist who had moments earlier described how “exciting and fun” activism could be.
Parents at a North Carolina high school are unhappy with school officials who allegedly gave them a questionnaire about their prejudices — with “right” and “wrong” answers.
Now, they’re blowing the whistle on Piedmont High School in North Carolina, which allegedly distributed the “quiz.”
According to a report from Libs of TikTok on social media, several screenshots purport to show the test from the Unionville school, with one student’s answers to them.
“A parent confirmed that their child was explicitly told there are ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ answers, and that the assignment will affect their grade,” the Thursday post stated.
The Zohran is meeting with President Donald Trump today. It’s not until 3:00 this afternoon, and I’ll be well into the bourbon by then, but I’m sure the content that comes from the meeting will be delightful if you ignore the fact that the incoming mayor of the most important city on the planet is a commie theater kid. My gut says he gets Zelenskyy’d as he attempts to lecture Trump on international law and how there will be no more deportations under The Zohran’s eye.
I hope they discuss economics, because The Zohran gave a clue on how he is going to get money for his free buses in New York City. All it will take is for them to raise taxes on everyone else in New York STATE so that he gets the cash.
REPORTER: How are you getting the $700M to make the buses free if the Governor is not for raising taxes?
THE ZOHRAN: Through the raising of the state’s corporate tax.”
REPORTER: But she said no…
THE ZOHRAN: The most important fact is that we fund it, not the question of how we do it.
Using those specific words doesn’t really leave much to the imagination does it?
The Times of Israel reports:
Cornell grad student union adds resistance ‘by any means’ to anti-Israel resolution
Cornell University’s graduate student union has added support for Palestinian armed resistance “by any means necessary” to a resolution calling for a boycott of Israel that the union will discuss on Thursday.
The union, Cornell Graduate Students United — UE Local 300, in October issued a draft of the resolution to members, titled “International solidarity with the Palestinian liberation struggle.”
The resolution said Cornell was rooted in “US settler-colonialism and an imperial project of white supremacy bent on profiting from the erasure of the Palestinian people.”
The construction industry’s use of illegal labor force has been revealed by the Trump administration’s “Operation Charlotte’s Web” in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Construction has reportedly come to a near halt in Charlotte as the Trump administration’s immigration campaign remains in full swing.
Reports of stymied construction projects have flooded social media during the first week of the immigration enforcement operation.
A man who claims to be a subcontractor in the construction industry in Charlotte posted a video blasting ICE for chasing off the workers he usually encounters every day.
In other social media posts, Mexican restaurants are closing up shop since so many illegals are no longer out and about in the town. In one, an ice cream shop owner said he has told his Hispanic employees to stay home.
Another man hyperbolically complained that “no one is safe,” despite that immigration agents are only seeking lawbreaking illegals.
One man working at a Charlotte barber shop told agents he became a naturalized U.S. citizen ten years ago, but can’t say it to the agents in English.
You just knew the moment President Trump posted remarks about a handful of Democrats engaging in sedition and treason on social media, along with the accompanying punishment for such acts, that the press was going to jump all over him for it.
From our watchtower here at the Media Research Center, we have identified a recent and nasty trend emerging from the Elitist Media. It’s called “Trumpwashing”: that phenomenon wherein the media withhold covering some Democrat scandal until President Donald Trump opines on it, with President Trump’s statement being covered as if it were the scandal, rather than the underlying and until now suppressed Democrat event.
The latest instance of a Trumpwashed scandal: the video, published by six Democrat members of Congress calling on members of the Armed Forces and Intelligence Agencies to disobey unspecified “illegal” orders. The media held their tongues on the video until Trump spoke up, and the rest is history.
As an evidentiary sample, we submit for your consideration the totality of the Trumpwashed report aired on NBC Nightly News (click “expand” to view full transcript):
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed Friday that he would not “betray” his country as he publicly pushed back against a U.S. plan that would end the war on terms widely seen as favorable to Russia, even at the risk, he said, of alienating Washington.
In an address, Zelensky said he would present “arguments” and “alternatives” to the 28-point proposal drafted by the Trump administration, which stunned Kyiv and its European partners when details leaked earlier this week.
That draft plan, seen by AFP, would reportedly require Ukraine to cede territory, drastically reduce the size of its military, pledge never to join NATO and hold snap elections. Russia, meanwhile, would not only be allowed to keep the land its forces have seized but also receive sanctions relief and rejoin the G8.
A woman was set on fire on the train in Chicago by a man with 22 prior arrests.
“She had severe burns all over her upper torso and half of her scalp was burnt off. She was lucid and conscious and talking.”
No worries that silver-spooned landfill Pritzker says the state is safer than ever and he doesn’t need the National Guard.
We shouldn’t have to live like this.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) has publicly beclowned herself for the second time in a week by falsely accusing several Republican politicians of taking money from “somebody named Jeffrey Epstein.”
“Folks who also took money from somebody named Jeffrey Epstein, as I had my team dig in very quickly—Mitt Romney, the NRCC, Lee Zeldin, George Bush, McCain-Palin,” Crocket declared on the House floor on Tuesday.
Federal campaign finance records show that Epstein donated primarily to Democrats, including two current sitting members of Congress, Delegate Stacy Plaskett (D-V.I) and Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), both of whom have retained the donations, despite scrutiny.
Even worse, newly released documents from Epstein’s estate include text messages between Plaskett and Epstein that show he advised her on what questions to ask President Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen during a 2019 congressional hearing.
France is pulling back diplomatic staff from Mali as the security situation in the country deteriorates under a jihadist-imposed fuel blockade. The move comes amid deepening concerns over the junta-led country’s shift toward Russian military support, which has done little to improve the security situation, according to French officials.

MOSCOW, November 21. /TASS/. Russia will react to the United States’ peace plan for Ukraine once it sees something concrete, refusing to comment on “conflicting” reports about it that have come out in the media, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
“I think that commenting on leaks that are contradictory and contain conflicting elements is pointless. When we have some official information, when we receive it via a relevant channel, naturally, we will always be open to work,” she told reporters.
“For several days now, Western media outlets have been releasing various leaks and drafts – whatever this could be called – with different details, in different sequences, under various labels,” she said, referring to the US plan. “We have official channels of communication with Washington. The Foreign Ministry has received no information, plans or drafts.”
In an astonishing victory, 34-year-old state legislator Zohran Mamdani won New York City’s mayoral election. Defeating former state Governor Andrew Cuomo, who enjoyed strong backing from US President Donald Trump and the political establishment, Mamdani became the city’s first Muslim immigrant mayor and its youngest in more than a century. The democratic socialist’s victory sent shock waves through national politics, emboldening progressives across the country to run and to win on agendas as unapologetically ambitious as the moment demands.
Campaigning across the city, Mamdani reached out to various social groups, including African Americans, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, East Africans and South Asians, and especially the youth, many of whom had grown politically disengaged after the Democratic Party’s demoralising performance in recent years. He brought people back into the political process, mobilising voters who otherwise might have stayed home.
A United States federal judge has said the Trump administration must pause its deployment of National Guard troops to Washington, DC, a setback for the president’s push to send the military into cities across the country.
US District Judge Jia Cobb temporarily suspended the deployment in a ruling on Thursday, responding to a lawsuit filed by city officials who said Trump had usurped policing powers and was using the military for domestic law enforcement.
Ukraine burns through small drones like belts of ammunition — fed, fired, and reloaded. Piloted from behind the front lines, drones hunt on the battlefield. This summer, Ukraine’s drone production increased 900 percent to 200,000 per month from 20,000 the previous year. Costs, too, are ammunition-like: reconnaissance and first-person view drones cost in the low thousands, akin to 120mm mortar rounds and far cheaper than a $200,000 Javelin anti-tank missile. Despite limits to drone performance, the United States will certainly need more drones than it has now. Acquiring, maintaining, accounting for, and delivering drones exceeds what the U.S. Army’s supply system can do.
Relentless rains and floods have killed at least 41 people in central Vietnam since the weekend, while a search continues for nine still missing, state media reports.
The deluge has submerged more than 52,000 homes and left half a million households and businesses without power, according to reports. Tens of thousands of residents have been evacuated from the flood-affected regions.
Rainfall has exceeded 1.5m (5ft) in several areas over the past three days, even rising beyond the 1993 flood peak of 5.2m in some parts.

- A JAMA Network Open paper calls for medical schools to adopt ‘alternative strategies’ to maintain racial diversity post the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling against affirmative action, suggesting race-neutral approaches like increased scholarship support.
- Researchers noted a 11% decline in Black and Hispanic medical student matriculation following the affirmative action decision, while Asian and white student admissions increased, highlighting threats to health equity.
- Dr. Natalie Florescu, lead author, advocates for initiatives like funding minority-serving institutions and targeted programs to create equitable medical education pathways, though these approaches may face legal scrutiny for potentially being race-based preferences.
Earth’s magnetic field acts like a protective cocoon, shielding the planet from harmful charged particles racing in from the Sun and deep space. But over the South Atlantic, that shield has developed an unusually weak patch known as the South Atlantic Anomaly. Recent observations show that this anomaly is not only expanding but also shifting, raising concerns for satellites, spacecraft and scientific instruments that pass through the region. While everyday life on the ground remains unaffected, the anomaly’s rapid evolution is prompting NASA researchers to issue stronger warnings and step up monitoring.
Humiliated Dems Forced to Delete Latest False Claim About Epstein and Trump – RedState– redstate.com
Democrats were left with a heaping helping of egg on their face after another attempt to link President Trump to Jeffrey Epstein failed, forcing them to scramble to delete the flimsy “evidence” involving their latest baseless claim.
The Democratic National Committee’s official X account on Thursday posted and then quickly deleted a claim alleging the President spent Thanksgiving 2017 with Jeffrey Epstein.
Using incredibly out-of-context emails, the DNC made it clear that they were offering evidence that “documents show Donald Trump spent Thanksgiving with Jeffrey Epstein in 2017.”
Whoever pushed out that message clearly struggles with reading comprehension and didn’t for a moment wonder about the plausibility of the leader of the free world sneaking out of Turkey Day celebrations to pal around with a convicted sex offender for a few hours … without anybody noticing.
Canada’s spiraling euthanasia system is once again under fire as heartbreaking new accounts reveal that a surging number of patients are being forced into “choosing” the government’s “assisted suicide” death program after being denied actual medical care under the nation’s collapsing socialized healthcare model.
An alarming number of Canadians are reporting that they have no other choice but to agree to be euthanized by the government, despite the supposed availability of treatments for their conditions.
As Slay News has previously reported, the government’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program is now saving tens of millions of dollars a year.
In 2024, the government saved over $136 million by euthanizing patients instead of treating them.

Gunmen reportedly attacked a church in Nigeria, killing at least two people and kidnapping the pastor and some worshippers, according to Reuters, which cited police and witnesses.
The attack occurred on Tuesday evening in Eruku, a town in central Nigeria’s Kwara State. Reuters said it reviewed and verified a video from a local news outlet showing gunfire interrupting a service at Christ Apostolic Church and forcing parishioners to take cover. The outlet noted that in the video, armed men are seen entering and taking worshippers’ belongings as gunshots ring out.
AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the governor of Kwara State, Nigeria, reportedly asked for the immediate deployment of security operatives after the attack, Reuters reported citing the governor’s spokesperson.
The Biden administration hid critical information about Thomas Matthew Crooks — the person who shot President Donald Trump and three others in Butler, Pennsylvania — throughout the 2024 election, according to a report from the New York Post.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) under Biden appears to have knowingly lied to Congress, misled the American people, and, at best, was negligent in its duty to track Crooks after he reportedly made numerous statements about committing political violence and assassinations.
The NYP received information from a source showing that Crooks did have a history of significant online activity, despite then-Biden FBI Director Christopher Wray testifying that Crooks had no “online history that pointed to motive or political ideology.” Wray also attempted to downplay Trump’s being shot by suggesting he may have been hit with a piece of shrapnel from his podium, despite no evidence of that whatsoever.
Paul Abbate, former FBI deputy director under Wray, seemed to muddy the water even more, telling Congress that some social media accounts connected to Crooks “appear to reflect antisemitic and anti-immigration themes to espouse political violence and are described as extreme in nature.”
That is true, but the posts Abbate was referring to — which appear to paint Crooks in some sort of right-wing extremism light — were quite a bit older than posts showing a left-wing, anti-Trump ideology Crooks seems to have adopted over time.
House Republicans were fuming Tuesday after their bid to censure Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) collapsed, with several members accusing GOP leaders of cutting a quiet deal with Democrats to shield Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) from facing the same punishment.
Republicans initially held the line and blocked a move to table the censure against Plaskett. But hours later, the effort fell apart, as three GOP lawmakers voted against it, three voted “present,” and four skipped the vote altogether.
Democrats were ready to hit back if the Plaskett measure passed. Their plan was to force a mirror censure vote on Mills, who has faced allegations of stolen valor, financial misconduct, and domestic abuse. He denies all the accusations.
Democrat Virgin Islands Del. Stacey Plaskett is attempting to explain away newly uncovered messages showing she exchanged real-time texts with Jeffrey Epstein during an anti-Trump 2019 congressional hearing.
During the hearing, Plaskett was even taking Epstein’s direction on how to question a witness attacking President Donald Trump, as Slay News first reported.
Her defense came the same day the House rejected a conservative push to censure her and remove her from the powerful House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Plaskett argued Tuesday that Epstein was simply a local constituent at the time and that she did not know he was under renewed federal investigation.
“I got a text from Jeffrey Epstein, who at the time was my constituent,” Plaskett said.

The same Department of Justice partisans who played key roles in the launch and cover of the FBI’s politically driven Arctic Frost investigation killed a criminal probe into the driver of the Russia collusion hoax, according to new emails released Thursday by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley.
The emails, dating back to 2019 at the height of the hoax, expose DOJ players freezing investigative efforts to look into campaign finance violations committed by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee. As became clear over time (no thanks to the accomplice media), the failed 2016 Democrat presidential candidate’s campaign and the DNC pushed opposition research to fuel a deep state soft coup aimed at toppling President Donald Trump’s first term in office.
In 2022, the Federal Election Commission fined the Clinton campaign and the DNC for “misreporting” (disguising) campaign funds paid to Fusion GPS to deliver the infamous Steele dossier that falsely and maliciously accused the Trump campaign of colluding with the Kremlin.
