Rashida Tlaib took an oath to support and defend the Constitution. It is unclear how she took “I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic” to mean “The political structures that I have to work in, that we are surrounded by, were built on slavery and genocide and oppression,” but I digress. The point, however, remains that if she believes this to be true, then she never intended to uphold her oath. That should be a bigger scandal than it is, so much so that she should be barred from ever holding elected office again. Yet, here we are, as she panders to the DSA over how she will, in fact, tear this country down.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) almost looks like a centrist now. That would have been a strange thing to say eight years ago, when she knocked off Rep. Joe Crowley, then the fourth-ranking Democrat in the House, and became the face of a new left flank that made party leaders nervous. She and the rest of the “Squad” were supposed to be the ceiling, the outer edge of what the activist base would tolerate, and Democratic leadership spent the next several years assuring anyone who would listen that the fever would break on its own, but it didn’t. If anything, the crop of candidates the party is nominating in 2026 makes Ocasio-Cortez, who still holds the same views that once alarmed her colleagues, look like someone who long ago made her peace with the establishment.
Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is pitching Medicare for All as a universal health insurance guarantee with no premiums, copays, deductibles, networks, or out-of-pocket costs, despite warnings that eliminating virtually all patient costs would leave taxpayers responsible for the bill.
In an exclusive clip from an interview on Intellectually Petty Radio provided to Breitbart News, El-Sayed said:
“I think you need to guarantee health care for everyone, cradle to grave, without premium, copay, deductible. Medicare for all. And I just want you to imagine, right, that that card that you get in your — via your private health insurer — that card sits in your back pocket. You pay a ton of money for it, and it goes away if you lose your job. Now, imagine you had one right there, but you got the day you were born that doesn’t expire until you expire, God willing, after a long, healthy life at 120 years old in your sleep. You don’t lose it if you turn 26. You don’t lose it if you turn 65. You don’t lose it if you get married, get divorced. Doesn’t matter. It’s there for you. There’s no network, and there’s no cost out of pocket. That’s the security people need and deserve.”
The remarks show El-Sayed doubling down on Medicare for All with no premiums, no copays, no deductibles, and no out-of-pocket expenses.
Medicare as it exists today does not operate that way. Seniors commonly pay Part B premiums, face deductibles, and remain responsible for coinsurance and other out-of-pocket expenses. The program is also heavily subsidized by federal taxpayers and contributes substantially to the national debt.
In the immediate hours following the unexpected death of long-time Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, ghoulish posts immediately began being posted by the usual suspects.
Lindsey Graham has moved on to the next step in his journey, trying to convince Hades to attack Zeus and Poseidon. He says it’ll only take a couple of weeks and won’t require any ground troops. And there’s no way Poseidon can close the Strait.
Communists don’t build; they destroy. This has been proven time and again for over one hundred years. Every time a prosperous nation claims to dismantle the system within, that inevitably ends up in millions of people dying. It is unclear if the DSA understands that and the organization is filled with a bunch of objective evil people, or they truly are that naive, so draw your own conclusions. Nonetheless, the DSA has proven what everyone already knows to be true: They plan to destroy this country from “within.”
LOL. It was unclear how many of those losers were trans, but I counted at least two.
According to DSA Los Angeles member Frances Gill, “The most important thing we can do is take that empire down from within.” By “empire,” she means America. And by destroy, she means just that. They may have some concept of an idea in their little heads that they will build everything as an equitable utopia, but that is never how reality works. These are some very dangerous people, and their threats should not be taken lightly.
A Somali flag ceremony in Columbus, Ohio, has sparked a widespread backlash as citizens questioned why city officials were honoring a foreign nation just days before America’s Independence Day.
The event was held for Somali Independence Day, which is celebrated on July 1.
The holiday marks the 1960 formation of the Republic of Somalia after liberation from colonial rule.
Columbus has one of the largest Somali populations in the United States.
California Democrats are advancing a new bill that would establish two Muslim holy days as state holidays while authorizing the state to develop a new model curriculum for students to “acknowledge and celebrate” these Islamic observances in the classroom.
Funny how the Democrats are militant about separation of church and state but mosque and state? Not so much.
The Islamization of California is happening!
The bill, AB 2017, passed the State Assembly with a 64-1 vote
Republicans are condemning as “lawfare” the efforts of Democrat New Orleans officials to arrest Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill amid a dispute about a new law’s interpretation.
“Targeting a sitting attorney general for carrying out her official duties is a dangerous attempt to weaponize the legal system against elected officials with whom they disagree,” Adam Piper, executive director of the Republican Attorneys General Association, told the Daily Signal. The Louisiana Supreme Court on Friday blocked the arrest warrant, which Piper called “liberal lawfare.”
“The idea that a grand jury would be used to investigate a sitting attorney general for issuing a legal opinion and warning public officials about the law is as outrageous as it is dangerous,” he said. “If this is allowed to stand, no attorney general will be free to provide candid legal guidance without fear of politically motivated retaliation.”
“This is nothing short of a political witch hunt against [Murrill] who was merely trying to uphold the law in accordance with the oath she took,” Gov. Jeff Landry, a Republican, posted on X Friday.
I would like to thank the Louisiana Supreme Court for halting this circus.
Leaking information to the press, arresting other members of the press, the disclosure of confidential information by the special prosecutor, ex parte communication to influence grand jury members, are…

Progressive California education activists are urging the state to recognize “black English” in preschool classrooms, claiming the approach would strengthen literacy development and affirm the language spoken by many black children.
Black Californians United for Early Care & Education (BlackECE), a nonprofit advocacy organization, is promoting what it describes as an effort to challenge “harmful language hierarchies and affirm black English as a legitimate, rule-governed language rooted in black history, culture, and community.”
The group also seeks to “address how language bias shows up in early learning spaces–and how it can be dismantled.”
Ashley Williams, a co-founder of BlackECE, said the initiative is intended to ensure children feel their voices are respected regardless of how they speak.
“I don’t want my son to walk into any room and feel like his voice is not valued or his perspective can’t be heard because he’s not saying it one way or the other,” Williams told PBS.
‘Everything is a struggle in this country,’ professor says Princeton University Professor Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor called the U.S. an “awful place,” condemned borders and patriotism, and called for the country to be dismantled at a Friday event titled “250 Years of Resistance.” The professor accused the U.S. of “bombing other countries” for “sport,” according to a video of the event…
There’s been a lot come to light about the extensive fraud perpetrated on the American taxpayers: Medicare and Medicaid fraud, COVID relief fraud, food aid fraud, and, not least of all, daycare fraud. All of these are funneling money, in the millions, likely billions, away from the people it was intended to help and into the pockets of fraudsters.
On the official establishment cable mouthpiece of the American left, the talking heads aren’t even hiding the fact that the Democrats live and die by the anti-Semitic crowd in 2026 — and will in 2028, too.
In a discussion late Tuesday on CNN, several pundits weighed in on whom the Democratic Party will pick as its presidential nominee next time around, especially in light of Democratic socialists taking several key House primary races.
All of the DSA-backed candidates have one thing in common, aside from having not a whit of economic common sense: They don’t like Israel or its supporters, for reasons one can reasonably guess at. Sure, like most Jew-haters, they hide behind a veneer of “anti-Zionism,” but the base these candidates count on certainly seems to excuse violence by thugs who take their rage out on innocent Jews, while excoriating Jewish Democrats, even those who are mostly pro-Palestinian in outlook.
During the discussion, according to a transcript of “The Story Is with Elex Michaelson,” host Elex Michaelson said that “some of the of the fringes of the DSA, not everybody in the DSA, are certainly pretty close to anti-Semitism, if not anti-Semitism.” It’s a development he called “a little scary.”
There has been a surge of anti-Jewish violence and intimidation throughout the United States, from street assaults to harassment to blockades of events to assassinations at Jewish events.
The NY Post recently reported on a survey showing that 38% of American Jews hide their Jewish identity in public:
A majority of American Jews experienced antisemitism over the past year, with many changing their behavior out of fear, according to a survey released on Friday by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) ahead of the United States’ 250th anniversary.
Slowly but surely, the DSA is taking over the Democratic Party one primary at a time. The problem with this is that most places are New York City. Sensible Americans don’t take kindly to their country being taken over by evil, naive fools. This is why Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger should have been more opposed to this takeover of her party, but she is welcoming all of it under the guise of being a so-called “big tent party.”
When Spanberger was asked if she was “concerned that the left is gaining power in your party,” she responded by stating, “I’m of the opinion that we are a big tent party; we’ve always been a big tent party.” It is unclear what this means, but we can assume she welcomes all diversity of thought, no matter how evil it is, so long as it does not benefit the other side. That will never be in the best interest of Americans, and there should be more outrage over this lack of outrage.
What is so astonishing is that so many leftist leaders are not objecting to newly elected officials working to undermine the integrity of this country. These are people who wish to turn this nation into the Third World, and the fact that this is condoned under the guise of a big tent will never be morally superior.
After Springer National chose to utilize the once-iconic Scientific American magazine as a progressive agit prop organ, the publication immediately began losing subscribers. Now, Springer National has sold the publication just as the staff had overwhelmingly voted to form a union.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat from Texas, said on Friday that the United States owes “everything” to black women.
Crockett said during Essence’s Festival of Culture that every American should celebrate Independence Day by thanking black women for their contributions, including inventions and for birthing American democracy.
“When it comes to answering the question of what America owes black women, the answer is everything,” Crockett said.
“When we think about the sacrifices that black women have made from the moment that we were stolen from our homelands and transported into this country, to the fact that black women continue to stand as the backbones, specifically of the Democratic Party, we know that black women are always the ones that are doing the labor, but we are also the ones that are always the first targets of any harm.”
“So, this Fourth of July, I say celebrate a black woman that you know, because whether it’s an invention that she made, or whether it’s the very democracy that still hangs by a thread right now. There is a black woman to thank for her contributions,” Crockett added.
One deep blue D.C. suburb will not be celebrating the Fourth of July with fireworks as its local government urges residents to turn in some of their patriotic neighbors.
In Alexandria, Virginia, the local government suggests reporting neighbors who are using fireworks, said an X post.
“Fireworks are illegal in Alexandria, including sparklers. Report illegal fireworks by calling 311. Our show is next weekend,” the post read.
“Any fireworks found inside the City can be taken away. If you are caught with fireworks, you could face a Class 1 misdemeanor charge. That means up to one year in jail, a $2,500 fine or both,” the Alexandria Fire Department reminded the community in a press release.
The recent wave of primary victories by Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidates has the media celebrating a web of grassroots populism and a supposed “working-class uprising.” But look past the revolutionary rhetoric, and you’ll find a much more sinister reality: Modern American socialism isn’t being driven by the proletariat; it is beingbankrolled by a cabal of deep-pocketed, ultra-wealthy leftists.
Historically, socialism has never been about uplifting the poor; it is an insider game designed to consolidate state control while shielding the wealth of the ruling class and ransacking the middle class along the way. To pave the way for this scam, these trust-fund radicals must first destroy the independent American family.
To do that, they have weaponized a nasty little phrase in our modern, grievance-obsessed culture. Whenever a person achieves success, buys a home, or launches a business, the bitter arbiters of online misery waste no time throwing an insult disguised as an observation: “You’re just doing well because your parents had money to help you.”
Turns out Walsh attended the funeral for Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei, the brutal Islamist dictator who killed tens of thousands of Iranian protesters and oppressed women for years. That doesn’t seem to matter to Leftists like Walsh, however, because her desire to destroy America outweighs all concerns.
… The Guardian found a way to arrive at America’s 250th birthday party and complain about the host, the music, the weather, the guest list, and the entire idea of celebrating.
Jason Stanley, left-wing professor and author of How Fascism Works, fled to Canada to escape President Trump, yet somehow feels compelled to appear on TV to bash his abandoned home. He made another appearance on PBS on Amanpour & Co just in time to mark America’s 250th anniversary, in order to declare his previous home is a Nazi state under Trump and Republican control.
Stanley is a frequent guest on the (formerly) tax-funded circuit of PBS and National Public Radio, and he brought his tired “fascist” gimmick to the program.
Host Christiane Amanpour: Now, controversy continues to swell around President Trump’s immigration agenda as he pushes through a series of sweeping changes from recent Supreme Court rulings terminating protected status for Haitians and Syrians to fast-tracking refugee status for white South Africans. Outrage has spread across the country….
Thursday on “The Alex Marlow Show,” Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow talked about John Hickenlooper.

Ocasio-Cortez’s backing of el Sayed comes after a swing of several midterm primaries showed momentum growing against the Democratic establishment, with voters in states such as New York and Colorado picking either socialist or anti-establishment challengers over mainstream Democrats. The move also bucks the primary goals of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), whose preferred candidate in the Michigan Senate race is the more centrist Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI).
“Despite our ideological differences and whatever disagreements there are in the party, every single one of us sees this moment as existential,” Ocasio-Cortez told the New York Times, who first reported the endorsement. “And I think many people are willing to put aside differences in order to give us the best chance at winning. And I think that Abdul gives us that right now.”
The partisan nature of the Elitist Media’s news coverage even trickles down to how pardons are covered. Any pardon issued by President Donald Trump will immediately raise the media’s hackles and draw significant coverage. Controversial pardons by Democrats? Not so much.
Minnesota officials, including Democrat Gov. Tim Walz, last month pardoned an illegal immigrant who was previously convicted of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl and who was slated to be deported.
With the recommendation of the Minnesota Clemency Review Commission (CRC), the Minnesota Board of Pardons — led by Walz, state Attorney General Keith Ellison and state Chief Justice Natalie Hudson — granted a pardon for Laos national Tou Lue Vang, 42, at its June 10 meeting, according to a letter informing Vang of the decision from Carli Stark, the executive director of the state CRC.
The pardon essentially gives Vang a clean slate.
“Being granted a pardon is a notable achievement and a reflection of the work you have done since your conviction,” Stark wrote in her letter to Vang.
We’re watching a modern-day French Revolutionary-like takeover of the Democratic Party. We could call it the Reign of Terror or the Democratic guillotine.
What I mean by that, in 1793 and ’94, when the French Revolution was well on its way to fruition, a group of radicals called Jacobins, led by the Robespierre brothers, hijacked that revolution and decided that they were going to go far, far to the left of the effort to abolish the monarchy and rename the days of the week, the months, start with a year zero concept, go out and attack private property, and execute people.
Now, I don’t think the democratic socialists are going to do that, but their takeover is similar to the Jacobin takeover. And what is their agenda? Their agenda is a radical Green New Deal, war on fossil fuels, open borders, no deportations, no deportations even for criminally convicted.
On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, as left-wing cable networks continued to be forced to cover the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) due to their continued wins in Democratic primaries, guest Anand Giridharadas, an online newsletter publisher, downplayed concerns of the DSA having radical ideologies. He asserted the DSA was like to “left, center-left ideology in most European countries,” and it was not “gulag socialism” or “Soviet Union Socialism.”
Co-host Willie Geist turned to Giridharadas in the aftermath of another DSA-candidate victory, this time in Colorado. Geist wondered: “But is this a bigger movement for the Democrats? Is it a problem for Democrats nationally because Republicans are going to use this – some believe extreme views of some of these candidates – against them nationally?”
Rama Duwaji, the wife of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, left the country ahead of America’s 250th birthday celebration to attend an Islamic “spiritual wellness” retreat on a Spanish resort island.
Duwaji, a 29-year-old Texas-raised, Dubai-educated Syrian-American artist, was spotted Monday at Newark International Airport before boarding an eight-hour flight to Palma on the island of Mallorca, according to the New York Post.
The trip came as New York City marked the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Mamdani remained in the city on July Fourth and attended the lighting of the Empire State Building in red, white, and blue for Independence Day.
But Duwaji’s decision to leave the country for the retreat drew immediate criticism, especially given her history of anti-American social media posts and Mamdani’s own attacks on America during the holiday week.
I started my career as a high school history teacher back in 1985. I taught my students about the Holocaust every year and was fortunate enough one summer to be selected for a special National Endowment for the Humanities seminar for teachers, led by Professor Lawrence Langer, a leading Holocaust scholar. Professor Langer came up with the term the “choiceless choice” to describe the no-win situations Jews were put in during the Holocaust, when there was simply no real choice to be made in the face of the genocidal Nazis. The idea has stuck with me for four decades.
It came to mind again when I read a recent Washington Post article following the Supreme Court’s adverse ruling in our case, BPJ v. West Virginia, on June 30, in which Julian Mark writes, “Critics, including some trans rights advocates, say the movement has rushed to tee up causes that the court’s 6-3 conservative majority is not ready to embrace.” While elements of the article were thoughtful, it is based on a flawed premise that warrants exploration.
First of all, the idea that “the [LGBTQ+] movement has rushed to tee up [trans] causes” is completely off the mark. There have been 2,446 bills designed to limit the rights of LGBTQ+ people introduced into state legislatures since 2022 — at least one in every single one of our 50 states — and 255 of them have become law in 27 states. The large majority of these laws are aimed at trans people. The LGBTQ+ movement didn’t “tee up” these laws: the opponents of the LGBTQ+ movement did, because they saw a political advantage to be won by picking on a small and relatively powerless minority and cynically exploited it. In other words, we didn’t pick this fight. We didn’t “tee up” trans issues. Our opponents did.
