Billionaire California Dem Gubernatorial Candidate Gets DRAGGED Online After Sharing Footage of Himself Posing in a VERY IRONIC T-Shirt With Marxist Protesters

A billionaire California Democrat gubernatorial candidate is getting blown up online after posing in a very ironic t-shirt with his fellow socialists.

On Saturday, Tom Steyer uploaded a video on his X page showing him at a “May Day” protest where he attempts to portray himself as a traitor to his class and a ‘champion’ of ordinary Californians. He even poses in a “Workers Over Billionaires” shirt.

Does he not realize that these people want to see folks like him eliminated?

“Today is May Day…Today is the day where we celebrate the working people of California, the people who make California run,” Steyer says in the video. “And their rights are being trampled on!”

A woman then asks if he’s planning on redistributing his wealth, to which Steyer replies, “Yes, I am!”

Steyer goes on to say that his campaign is about standing up for working Californians against “corporate special interests,” before cutting to him taking photo-ops with Marxist protesters while still wearing the stupid shirt.

The Left’s War on Comedy Is No Laughing Matter

If pure-hearted laughter is divine, the suppression of it is demonic. This could come to mind with our Left’s war on comedy, which really is happening. It also really is a campaign common to leftists.

Just ask USSR-born comedian Yakov Smirnoff, a man popular during the late Cold War period (the 1980s). As he quipped in an old Miller beer commercial, smiling, “In America, there’s plenty of lite beer and you can always find a party!”

“In Russia, the Party always finds you!”

He was joking, but not kidding. The Soviet Union practiced authoritarian censorship, and jokes had to be approved by a de facto “Department of Humor.” That was a colloquial name for a unit within the USSR’s Ministry of Culture. The latter’s job was to ensure the culture was communist.

And with socialism and communism gaining favor in the United States, so is their its penchant for suppressing good comedy. Writing about this Tuesday, commentator Armando Simon laments left-wing humorlessness. Citing Cuban dissident blogger Yoani Sánchez, he writes that she

stated that one of the things that first helped her to break through the indoctrination received at school of the cult of personality of Fidel Castro was her observation that Castro never joked, highly unusual for a Cuban.

Simon then continues:

We are in the midst of a Marxist upheaval going full throttle towards turning America into a Communist utopia. The symptoms are all there: self-censorship, censorship (aka “cancel culture”), political indoctrination of the military, indoctrination in the schools, network news deliberately becoming propaganda outlets, Balkanizing the population, etc.

Another symptom is the slow strangulation of comics and comedy.

Comedians are complaining of the toxic air that is stifling comedy. “Cancel culture” is being waged by insufferable, self-righteous fanatics always lurking in the background, ready to pounce on the slightest transgression. Cancel culture has gone after comics because of the hypersensibility of the chronically offended — in other words, the leftists. It is a type of censorship. Some of the people who partake of the cancel culture also do so for the sheer exercise of power at ruining other people’s lives and livelihood, amazed that it is so easy to do nowadays. The range of punishment varies. Just ask Andrew Dice Clay and Dave Chapelle.

Leftists Excited to Begin Cannibalizing the Elderly

Did you live a self-reliant, constructive life? Did you play by the rules, work hard, raise your kids to be productive members of society, save up, and arrive in seniority well-provisioned for your well-earned golden years?

Sucker!

If you simply reverse the direction of each of the Ten Commandments, you arrive at the leftist version. Among these is the Marxist tenet of weaponized envy — Thou shalt covet — and its corollary, Thou shalt steal.

Socialist-communists are always on the lookout for ways to play the many against the few so they can pillage the minority, enriching themselves while throwing crumbs to their useful-idiot foot soldiers. And right now, they are taking aim at senior citizens who saved their pennies so they might enjoy their retirements.

An opinion-setting column appeared in the New York Times on Tuesday. Entitled “Older Americans Are Hoarding America’s Potential,” it was penned by Samuel Moyn, a professor of law and history at Yale who has a book coming out called Gerontocracy in America: How the Old Are Hoarding Power and Wealth — and What to Do About It (emphasis added, because that’s the scary part).

In his column, Moyn makes perfunctory efforts to calm readers’ fears about his intentions. “‘Ageism’ identifies an enduring phenomenon: the mistreatment of older people for no reason other than being older,” he soothes. “Americans in middle age and beyond are routinely passed over for opportunities because of the irrelevant fact of a number on paper or how they act and look after getting older.”

And yet, “In today’s world, the unfair discrimination they cite coexists with a different kind of unfairness: a gerontocratic society in which the old control ever more power and wealth, leading to overrepresentation in political life and unequal power in social life.”

That’s right: It’s unfair to keep what you earned and to exercise your civic duty to vote and be engaged.

Naturally, that leads Moyn to conclude: “It is not ageist to ask whether older people should be required to give more to younger Americans and national priorities — it is critical to the future of our democracy and society. America needs to confront gerontocracy before the system collapses under the weight of its inequality and injustice.”

No, it’s not “ageist” to ask that — it’s Marxist.

“Older Americans deserve a say over the future even when they might not live to see it,” Moyn placates, before ratcheting up his rhetoric: “But they do not deserve the stranglehold over it they currently enjoy through overrepresentation in elections, which produces too many regressive policies and too many seniors in the highest offices.”

A second column, in the May 2026 issue of The Atlantic, is an even more direct attack. It’s titled “An Oligarchy of Old People.” Recall that socialist stars AOC and Bernie Sanders just completed their so-called Fighting Oligarchy Tour, and author Idrees Kahloon could not make it much clearer that “Old People” are the enemy. The opening salvo is an ugly comparison of elderly people who lived successful lives to dictators: “Gerontocracy has always thrived in undemocratic places—Communist people’s republics, Gulf monarchies—where only death could pry power from the ruling elders.” Well, then, I guess we know where Kahloon stands on the subject.

Kahloon points out that high-level politicians and the most engaged voters tend to be over 50. This seems only natural to me, and generally desirable, as leaders ought to have some life experience and wisdom.

But Moyn gives away the game when he complains that these powerful old people have the wrong political preferences:

Some of the excessive power that the aging have amassed harms society, as they enjoy advantages to the detriment of others. That power hurts a large number of elderly Americans themselves. Crucial priorities for the future, like creativity and dynamism, environmental remediation, immigration policies and tax fairness also suffer under gerontocracy. Older Americans favor restrictions on immigration most, even when they need immigrant caregivers most. Likewise, there is a correlation between age and resistance to policies to halt the overheating of the planet or raise funds for education and other civic purposes.

Both authors lay on the envy-mongering. Here’s Kahloon:

Although political gerontocracy has operated overtly, the rising economic power of the elderly has escaped much notice. Over the past 40 or so years, American wealth has grown ever more concentrated among the oldest generations. In 1989, Americans over age 55 held 56 percent of it; today they hold 74 percent. During that same period, the share of wealth held by Americans under 40 has shrunk by nearly half, from 12 to 6.6 percent. The color of money is now gray.

Both authors bemoan the fact that 55-and-up-year-olds own the most expensive real estate and hold the most powerful jobs. Except for the ones who don’t, who are thus also harmed by the greedy successful elderly hoarding their “accumulated housing, jobs and wealth,” as Moyn describes it. So much for passing down one’s legacy to one’s children or favorite charities, I suppose. Whatever — the elderly have-nots are simply more bodies to add to the push to loot the elderly haves.

U.S., U.K. Lawmakers Finally Scrutinize China’s Use Of ‘Cultural Associations’ As Communist Fronts 

The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) United Front Work Department has long conducted intelligence-gathering and influence operations abroad by embedding itself in seemingly benign overseas organizations. These groups often operate in plain sight — shaping public opinion, supporting pro-Beijing policies, and sometimes interfering in election processes — while enjoying the legal protections and tax benefits afforded to nonprofit organizations in open societies.

For too long, Western governments largely ignored these activities. That may finally be changing. In recent days, bipartisan lawmakers in the United States and United Kingdom have taken concrete steps to demand greater accountability from organizations suspected of advancing Beijing’s agenda.

Hometown Associations and Marxist Groups in America

On April 8, 2026, House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party Chairman John Moolenaar, R-Mich., and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and IRS CEO Frank Bisignano. They urged a thorough review of U.S. tax-exempt organizations linked to the CCP’s United Front that may be violating rules against political campaign intervention.

The letter builds on a February 2026 Ways and Means hearing that exposed how foreign actors exploit America’s nonprofit sector to sow division and distort political discourse. A key figure highlighted was Neville Roy Singham, an American tech entrepreneur now based in Shanghai and married to Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans. Fox Digital investigations show Singham has funneled more than $278 million into Marxist and far-left groups in the U.S., including The People’s Forum, to incite anti-American protests and create chaos in American cities, all while promoting pro-China propaganda.

The letter also spotlights the troubling transformation of Chinese “hometown associations.” Originally created to help immigrants from the same provinces or towns adapt to life in America, many have been co-opted by the United Front. A 2025 New York Times investigation identified more than 50 such groups in New York City alone that actively promote Beijing’s agenda — meeting regularly with Chinese consular officials, fundraising for and openly endorsing pro-Beijing candidates, and even mobilizing to unseat a New York state senator who attended a banquet with Taiwan’s president.

Many of these hometown groups operate as 501(c)(3) nonprofits, which are legally barred from significant political activity. Some leaders of hometown groups have gone even further, collaborating with Beijing’s law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

In 2023, the FBI arrested two officials from the America Changle Association in New York City for allegedly operating an illegal Chinese “police station” out of their offices to harass dissidents. Separately, former New York gubernatorial aide Linda Sun was arrested and charged with acting as an unregistered foreign agent; evidence presented in her case showed close coordination with leaders of major hometown associations in New York City, including the United Chinese Associations of the Eastern United States, which declared itself a foreign agent of China.

Highlighting these examples, Moolenaar and Smith urge both U.S. Treasury and the IRS to conduct “a thorough review of how tax-exempt organizations in the United States, which are influenced by foreign adversaries like the People’s Republic of China, are violating our laws and engaging in prohibited political campaign interventions that undermine our democracy and the integrity of the tax-exempt status for other organizations that are engaging in legitimate charitable purposes.”

The Foreign Communist and Leftist Organizations Behind Pro-Cuba Regime Propaganda in the U.S.

The Nuestra América Convoy, composed of American and international leftists that recently delivered aid to the Cuban regime, was a network of at least 23 Marxist, socialist, and anti-American organizations, many with foreign ties and funding, including connections to the Chinese Communist Party.

Several have a documented history of organizing or participating in anti-American protests in the United States, including pro-Hamas demonstrations in Times Square within hours of the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks, the July 2024 mass-vandalism protest at Washington’s Union Station, “Hands Off Iran” rallies, anti-ICE protests, pro-Maduro demonstrations, and other pro-communist causes.

The convoy’s primary organizing body was Progressive International, a self-described worldwide anti-capitalist organization formally founded in 2020, growing out of a 2018 call by Bernie Sanders’s institute and the Democracy in Europe Movement.

Its manifesto asserts that “capitalism is the virus” that must be eradicated, supports “revolution” to “transform society and reclaim the state,” and warns that “winning elections is not enough.”

The organization dismisses concerns about Chinese military aggression as an “invented narrative” and “anti-China hysteria.”

Its advisory council includes British Member of Parliament Jeremy Corbyn, a self-identified socialist who participated in the convoy, and Yanis Varoufakis, a former Greek finance minister who describes himself as an “erratic Marxist” or “libertarian Marxist.”

Progressive International co-organized the convoy alongside the International Association of Democratic Lawyers, which a 1978 CIA study prepared for the House Intelligence Committee described as “one of the most useful Communist front organizations at the service of the Soviet Communist Party,” noting its consistent alignment with Moscow’s foreign policy.

National Lawyers Guild president Suzanne Adely participated in a joint Progressive International and IADL delegation to the Palestinian Territories in 2024.

A central organizing and fiscal node for the convoy was the People’s Forum, a New York-based 501(c)(3) whose executive director, Manolo de los Santos, spoke at press conferences in Havana.

De los Santos has spent years in Cuba and built a career organizing protests in New York City. In April 2024, hours before anti-Israel protesters occupied Hamilton Hall at Columbia University, he addressed roughly 100 activists at the People’s Forum’s Manhattan offices, urging them to recreate the “summer of 2020,” a reference to the BLM riots that resulted in $400 million in damage across the country, and to “give Joe Biden a hot summer.”

Isra Hirsi, daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar, traveled to Cuba as part of a People’s Forum delegation. She had previously been suspended from Barnard College for participating in a siege of parts of neighboring Columbia University during pro-Hamas protests.

The House Ways and Means Committee stated in a formal letter that the People’s Forum received over $20 million from Neville Roy Singham and his wife, Jodie Evans, between 2017 and 2022 through shell companies and donor-advised funds, and that it has “acted as a foreign agent of the Chinese Communist Party” while maintaining tax-exempt status. Singham, a U.S.-born tech mogul who sold his company for $785 million in 2017, moved to Shanghai and in July 2023 attended a Communist Party workshop on “promoting the party internationally.”

He shares premises with a Chinese propaganda firm whose goal is to “educate foreigners about the miracles that China has created.”

The People’s Forum hosted courses in late 2024 glorifying the Chinese revolution and events with diaspora groups defending the CCP. A George Washington University Program on Extremism report identified the People’s Forum as a key node funding activist groups with anti-U.S. and anti-Israel agendas aligned with China’s global messaging.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley urged an investigation into whether the People’s Forum should register as foreign agents under FARA.

Code Pink, founded in 2002 by Jodie Evans and Medea Benjamin, is a 501(c)(3) with a 23-year record of opposing U.S. foreign policy, actively opposing sanctions on Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, and Cuba, and disrupting congressional hearings including those of Henry Kissinger and Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Code Pink chartered a plane for 100 convoy participants, delivered 6,300 pounds of medical supplies valued at $433,000, and charged each participant $1,600 for the trip.

Since 2017, roughly 25 percent of Code Pink’s funding has come from groups connected to Singham, who married co-founder Evans in 2019.

Since that marriage, Evans and Code Pink have, according to Senate Judiciary Committee documents, “stridently supported China,” with Evans publicly describing the Uyghurs as “terrorists” and defending their mass detention.

Cuban protesters ransack Communist office as energy crisis deepens

Protesters in Cuba have ransacked a Communist Party building following a rally over steep food prices and persistent power cuts, in a rare show of public dissent.

Five people were arrested after a small group vandalised the offices in the central city of Moron overnight into Saturday, Cuba’s Interior Ministry (Minint) said.

Discontent among Cubans has been mounting as the island is buffeted by rolling blackouts and shortages of food, fuel and medicine, exacerbated by a prolonged US oil blockade.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said that, while the protesters’ complaints and demands were “legitimate”, “violence and vandalism that threatens citizen tranquility” would not be tolerated.

He wrote on X that the prolonged blackouts had understandably caused “distress”, blaming them on the US blockade that he characterised as having “cruelly intensified in recent months”.

The protest came hours after the government in Havana confirmed that talks with the US to “seek solutions through dialogue” to the two countries’ differences were under way.

Díaz-Canel said in a national broadcast on Friday that no fuel had entered the country in three months as a result of the US oil blockade.

US President Donald Trump has made no secret of his desire for a change in Cuba’s leadership. He said on Monday that Cuba was in “deep trouble” as he threatened a “friendly takeover”.

Trump previously said the one-party state would be “next” following the capture of its ally, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, in January.

Since then, the US has blocked Venezuelan oil shipments – which provided for about half of Cuba’s energy needs – and threatened to impose tariffs on any country that sold oil to the island nation. This is on top of a six-decade US trade embargo.

Havana relies heavily on imported fuel for electricity generation, and the oil blockade has brought Cuba’s beleaguered economy close to collapse.

The crisis has affected rubbish collection, emergency hospital wards, public transport and education.

Friday’s demonstration “initially began peacefully” before escalating into “acts of vandalism”, state-run newspaper Invasor said.

“A smaller group of people stoned the entrance to the building and started a fire in the street with furniture from the reception area.”

Other state-run facilities, including a pharmacy and a government-operated market were also targeted, it added.

Leftists Unleash Fury on Pop Star Camila Cabello for Speaking Out Against Communist Atrocities in Cuba

Cuban American pop sensation Camila Cabello is being met with vicious attacks from leftists for using her social media to shine a light on the devastating humanitarian crisis gripping Cuba under its long-standing communist regime.

Cabello, who was born in Havana and immigrated to the United States with her family when she was seven, shared a series of photos from her childhood, including images of her in the communist “young pioneer” uniform, a symbol of the regime’s indoctrination efforts.

The singer also posted images of collapsed buildings and desperate Cubans rummaging through dumpsters for food.

In her caption, Cabello didn’t mince words about the “67 years of a failing dictatorship and an oppressive regime.”

“The Cuban people are suffering in an echo chamber where no one can hear them because to speak is to risk your life,” she wrote.

Cabello continued, “Many people are starving, looking for food in trash heaps, and the only way to survive is having relatives ship you boxes of medicine because not even the hospitals have medicine. The power is gone for so long that food spoils and water becomes scarce… The Cuban people have lived without dignity and without hope for too long. It’s no wonder so many Cubans have thrown themselves into shark-infested waters, making boats out of tires and sticks and risking their lives for freedom.”

The star encouraged her followers to support Caritas Cuba, a humanitarian organization providing aid to those in need.

Rep. Ilhan Omar steps up to defend Cuba’s communist military dictatorship

rdinarily, I don’t care too much what leftist pinheads in the celebrity and political communities say.

But this defense of Cuba, from none other than wokester Rep. Ilhan Omar of Fraudisota seemed a little more disgusting than most.

Every part of this statement is a despicable lie. 

The Castroite communist island hellhole is very much a national security threat given its role in sheltering terrorists — from FARC to Hezb’allah, no terrorist is too terrible for them — to pioneering the U.S.-South America drug trade. Anybody ask Pablo Escobar how he managed to ship cocaine into the U.S. during the Miami Vice era in his then-novel drug submarines? Castro was the one who moved it along. Cuba has conducted espionage on an industrial scale in the U.S. with every snippet of information dishonestly and illicitly obtained, some at the highest levels of the national security establishment, going to America’s enemies in China, Russia, and Iran. Just ask Ana Montes.

Cuba’s communist regime has also terrorized virtually every nation of Latin America and many even in Africa with its threats of insurgency and leftwing unrest, not to mention, guerrilla activity. It has been found at the center of every insurgency of the 20th century. Just ask Chile or El Salvador or Nicaragua what that was like, not to mention, Venezuela both in the 1960s and later on. Colombia, in fact, was Castro’s first target — in 1948. When Americans were held as POWs in Hanoi, Cuban Castroites were their torturers. Their latest scheme has been ‘medical mercenaries’ who are, as the late great Cuban writer Carlos Alberto Montaner are ‘slaves of the white coat’ working on starvation wages as the regime collects the profits, some of them serving as spies. Cuba’s regime has been at the heart of every threat and thug action for nearly a century and still is. 

As for America, their main adversary, they’ve trained guerrilla groups through their Venceremos Brigade, of which Karen Bass remains a proud member, in subversion — the garbage going on with antifa around the country, from Portland to Minneapolis — most certainly has Cuban roots. In the early 1960s, they tried to blow up the New York City subways under big retailers such as Bloomingdales and Macy’s on Black Friday, all to ensure maximum civilian casualties before J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI thwarted their evil plot. In the 1980s, they pioneered ‘migrant bombs’ emptying thir prisons and insane asylums to set sail for America, all in a bid to weaken America and strengthen their own grip on power as potential troublemakers were sent to ‘the enemy.’ They set the tone for leftist extremism the world over. They are the godfather of the left.

But this is just to address the national security threat of Cuba, there is more, much more, in Omar’s hideous statement.

State Department Says Far Left Group ‘Code Pink’ is Linked to the Chinese Communist Party

The State Department has just reported to Congress that the far left group ‘Code Pink’ is linked to the Chinese Communist Party. This should come as a surprise to no one.

Code Pink began making a nuisance of themselves during the presidency of George W. Bush. They portrayed themselves as an anti-war group. Of course, once Obama became president and continued most of Bush’s foreign policy and the wars, they became curiously silent. Some of them were even guests at Obama’s inauguration.

Now that Trump, a Republican, is president again, they are back to their old tactics of showing up in places where they were not invited and being generally annoying.

This move by the State Department has the potential to change the game.

The New York Post reports:

State Department identifies Code Pink and other far-left groups as vectors of Chinese influence operations

The State Department transmitted a report to Congress Tuesday linking lefty nonprofits Code Pink and the People’s Forum to Chinese influence operations.

“Partisan hacks spent years peddling the phony Russia collusion hoax while turning a blind eye to the sprawling web of far-left activist organizations who push the agendas of the Chinese Communist Party,” Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy Sarah Rogers said in a statement provided to The Post.

“Organizations like Code Pink and the People’s Forum denigrate the United States, whitewash the violence of Marxist regimes, and run cover for China while enjoying an influx of cash from a donor network with connections to the Chinese Communist Party,” Rogers added.

“The State Department will pursue complete transparency for the donor and NGO networks that lobby for our adversaries and seek to weaken the resolve of the United States.”

The report on “Countering Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference” alleges that China “spreads propaganda through influence campaigns run by nonprofit organizations like Code Pink, the People’s Forum and groups linked with the notorious Singham network.”

This has been a long time coming.

New York Teacher Has a Very Communist Solution for Keeping Businesses in the Big Apple

Let’s see how things are going in the communist utopia of New York, a month after Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as mayor. Nearly two weeks after a massive winter storm hit the Big Apple, mountains of garbage line the still snow-covered streets (but not around Gracie Mansion, of course), and at least a dozen homeless people have frozen to death after Mamdani refused to force them into warming shelters despite the bitter cold. There were also blackouts, which is great when it’s freezing outside.

Oh, and the number of antisemitic incidents in the city has skyrocketed, and Mamdani is siding with criminals who try to kill cops. 

Add to that his advisors, who are racist and oppose private home ownership, plus a progressive tax plan that will seize wealth from New Yorkers, and it’s a recipe for a mass exodus from the city.

But for one commie New York teacher, the solution to stopping businesses and wealthy New Yorkers from leaving the city is just to…seize the business and make it illegal to leave (some of us would call that “imprisonment”).
