The Democrat Embrace Of Islamo-Socialism Is Party Suicide

The Democrat party leadership—sensing its mortal danger from a very well-organized and radicalized Islamo-socialist movement—is trying to stay afloat, claiming that the Democrat Party is a “big tent” where the socialists can find a welcome home:

But ironically, as the “big tent” expands, the number of constituencies inside the tent shrinks.

The traditional power bases of the Democrat party, the working class and minorities, are not part of the Islamo-socialist movement. Instead, the “socialist” part is comprised almost uniformly of downwardly mobile, white college-credentialed losers.

All members of the Democrat leadership, without exception, can see the danger to them from the Islamo-socialist movement, as well as the danger to their traditional constituencies—and, for that matter, to our constitutional experiment now 250 years old. Most, as epitomized by Chuck Schumer, are willing to sacrifice the country and appease the Islamo-socialist crocodile, hoping it will eat them last.

Others, such as Julian Epstein, writing today at the NY Post, are sounding all the alarm bells, namely, that such appeasement is not merely “a recipe for moral decay,” but “for political suicide” as well:

Democrats aren’t coddling Scandinavian-style socialists; they’re getting into bed with a nihilistic, deconstructionist brand of third-worldism.

It’s an ideology that seeks the elimination of prisons, policing, borders, the Senate, the presidency, the Supreme Court and democratic free markets.

A worldview that aligns with genocidal jihadist movements like Hamas.

This is, Epstein says, fracturing the party “as working-class voters flee an increasingly toxic Democratic brand [and] the party’s newfound embrace of anti-American extremists is likely to produce big losses nationally…”

Moreover, as to the socialist dreams of Bernie Sanders, Epstein criticizes it as a “delusion that attaches no importance to generating wealth—and only cares about redistributing it.”

Epstein ultimately opines that the rise of the Islamo-socialist movement is part of a bigger problem for Democrats:

[T]hat post-modern liberalism is failing. The more we spend on the welfare state, it seems, the worse the outcomes.

It is a fascinating essay, well worth the read. And as Epstein concludes.

“Democrats can’t run from this lunacy in November.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shrugs off past ‘defund the police’ comments, joking ‘Woke 1 was crazy’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., dismissed her and other socialist politicians’ past extreme controversial comments on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday, joking that the “Woke 1” era was “crazy.”

Host Jon Karl asked Ocasio-Cortez to comment on Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong and her controversial comments, such as calling for Thanksgiving to be canceled or for prisons to be abolished. Hong has sought to backtrack on some of her past views as she seeks the Democratic nomination in her state.

“I have a local city councilman that has this saying, ‘Woke 1 was crazy,'” Ocasio-Cortez said laughing, adding, “And I think that what’s important is that we have to assess what a candidate is saying now.”

Senator Marsha Blackburn: “Interesting – Every Single Democrat Voted Against Voter ID, Even Though 83% of Voters Want It”

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.

“Tennesseans know I have a history of delivering for them, Maria, whether it is fighting crime and working in Memphis to make it a safer place, or working on technology, protecting kids, protecting parents, and protecting our families,” Blackburn continued.

“We should be the nuclear energy leader of the United States here in Tennessee, so, we are looking forward to putting that experience to work for Tennesseans in the Governor’s office,” Blackburn said.

“What is happening in the Senate? You’ve got to tell us what the pushback is for the SAVE America Act.” Bartiromo asked.

After the first week of August, the US Senate is on recess until mid September without passing the wildly popular SAVE America Act to save US elections.

Election Integrity Is Not Voter Suppression

The political left has developed a remarkably simple response to almost every proposed election safeguard: Call it voter suppression.

Require identification at the polls? Voter suppression. Verify citizenship during registration? Voter suppression. Correct inaccurate registration records? A voter “purge.” Adjust early-voting schedules? An assault on minority voters.

Different policies addressing different aspects of election administration are bundled together as parts of a national conspiracy to prevent minorities and Democrats from voting. Motive is assumed, discriminatory effect is declared, and accusation substitutes for evidence.

Citizenship is the foundation of our electoral system. Only American citizens may vote in federal elections. Investigators have identified serious anomalies in registration records nationwide. When government refuses reasonable verification or correction of demonstrably ineligible records, it leaves the basic qualification for voting inadequately enforced.

That principle is at the center of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, commonly called the SAVE America Act. The House-passed legislation would require documentary proof of citizenship when registering for federal elections and photo identification when voting.

Opponents often portray the bill as requiring every prospective voter to possess a passport. That is not what it says.

Acceptable documentation includes identification indicating citizenship; a valid U.S. passport; certain military records; photo identification showing a U.S. birthplace; or photo identification accompanied by a birth, naturalization or other recognized citizenship record.

An ordinary driver’s license establishes identity and lawful presence but not necessarily citizenship. Legally present noncitizens may obtain licenses, including REAL ID-compliant licenses. Those issued to people with temporary lawful status are limited-term, generally expiring with their authorized stay — or within one year when no expiration date is specified. The relevant question is whether citizenship is indicated or a government agency has otherwise verified it.

The act requires states to accept applications from married voters and others whose names differ from their citizenship documents when additional documentation or an affidavit establishes the previous name.

Billionaire heiress who backed Mamdani now shoveling cash to House Dems in hopes of party takeover

Billionaire heiress Elizabeth Simons is pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into the Democratic Party’s campaign to retake the House — even as she bankrolls the socialist causes and candidates that have Democrats’ establishment leaders increasingly on edge.

Simons, who previously cut a $250,000 check to a super PAC backing Mayor Zohran Mamdani, has donated $354,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee — the party’s chief House campaign arm — and thousands more to individual House candidates this election cycle.

The donations, ironically, put Simons behind the same Democratic leadership forces trying to prevent the party’s increasingly powerful progressive wing from taking over.

“I can see why a lot of the very woke left is lining up with Hakeem [Speaker Jeffries] because the goal is winning the House,” said one longtime Democratic fundraiser.

The DCCC is headed by Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.), a member of the party’s centrist New Democrat Coalition, which is the under guidance of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who is positioned to take power if Dems snatch back the House. Republicans rule by a narrow 218-212 majority.

Simons is hardly a conventional Democratic establishment donor — she has has poured millions into progressive education initiatives while backing candidates like Mamdani.

America First Legal Takes Fight to Fix Botched 2020 Census to Supreme Court – Statistical Tricks Favored Blue States and Robbed GOP States of Electoral Votes

America First Legal has taken its landmark challenge against the deeply flawed 2020 Census straight to the U.S. Supreme Court, demanding that the justices reverse a lower court’s dismissal and force accountability for a count that systematically undercounted red states while padding blue ones.

On August 7, AFL, co-founded by Trump senior advisor Stephen Miller, filed a jurisdictional statement with the Supreme Court. The group is asking the high court to hear its case and overturn the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida’s ruling that dismissed the lawsuit.

A divided three-judge panel had thrown out the case in July, claiming the plaintiffs lacked standing and that the challenge came too late. Judge Steven Merryday issued a blistering dissent, warning that “If the census and the vote are not right, nothing that follows from them is right.”

This is not some technical accounting dispute. The 2020 Census, conducted under the Biden-Harris administration’s early influence after Trump left office, abandoned the Constitution’s clear command of an “actual Enumeration.”

Instead, the Census Bureau leaned heavily on statistical imputation and other gimmicks, filling in missing people with made-up data and injecting “noise” under the guise of privacy.

The result? Florida was undercounted by approximately 3.48 percent, or roughly 760,000 people. Other red and purple states took similar hits, while several blue states were overcounted.

Those distortions directly translated into lost congressional seats and Electoral College votes for Republican-leaning states. Florida, already a powerhouse of growth and Trump support, was shortchanged representation it earned.

Dimwit Kamala Harris Warns that SAVE Act Will Force People to Prove Who They Are to Vote — How Are Democrats Supposed to Win?

How are dead Democrats supposed to produce an ID to vote?

Dimwit Kamala Harris, likely the densest candidate to ever run for president, a woman who struggled to complete full sentences without some nonsensical rambling diatribe, spoke out against the SAVE Act on Friday.

Unfortunately, she thought it was a good idea to post her thoughts on social media.
Big mistake.

She obviously is unaware of her limitations.

On Friday, Kamala Harris warned Americans that the SAVE America Act will force people to prove who they are to vote!
The horror!

Kamala Harris:  This president is trying to push this SAVE Act, which basically would require that for people to register to vote, you’re gonna have to have proof of who you are through a passport, which a lot of Americans don’t have, or a birth certificate. Same point, obstacles to make it difficult for you to register to vote.

And then you got the states. 19 states have already passed laws to make it more difficult to vote, and the ones that that haven’t passed a law are doing it in practice in many places around our country. Why? ‘Cause they’re scared of you. They are scared of your power, the power you have, the power of your voice through your vote.

So the work we have to do right now, let’s make sure everybody, one, check your voter registration status ’cause you know they’ve been purging the rolls. Make sure you register to vote. Even if you thought you are, just make sure. Next, let’s make sure that everybody we know is registered to vote if they’ve not registered before. And then let’s encourage everyone, vote early where they can, vote by mail where they can, and vote.

It’s gonna make a difference.

Talarico caught on tape giggling about his church housing illegal immigrants set for deportation

Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico bragged in a resurfaced interview that his church had stirred controversy by housing a family of illegal immigrants who were set to be deported by ICE, laughing as he said that “Christianity is just another word for causing trouble.”

Talarico, a Presbyterian seminarian who serves as a Democratic state representative, is running against Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for a Senate seat that is critical to both parties.

In a resurfaced clip of Talarico speaking on Texas Impact’s “Weekly Witness” show in June 2023, he credited his faith for “why I am in politics.” Asked how his faith influences his politics, Talarico pointed to examples of his church advancing progressive causes, saying, “Justice is just love out in public.”

“Our church was really active in LGBTQ rights in the ’90s. We caught some attention by letting an atheist join our church in the 2000s, and then in the 2010s, again stirred some controversy by housing an undocumented family, a mother and son, who were close to being deported by ICE,” he said. “That was the tradition that I was brought up in. It’s what led me to teach public school students on the west side of San Antonio, led me to run an education nonprofit and then led me to run for office.”

“And so, again,” he continued, “this idea that Christianity is just another word for causing trouble.”

During the same interview, Talarico decried what he referred to as “Christo-fascism” and the religious right, which he accused of seeking to subvert democracy by forcing a “certain type of Christianity.”

Asked for specific examples of Christo-fascism in Texas, he pointed to a law requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments, another allowing schools to replace guidance counselors with chaplains, and the state’s school voucher program. He also pointed to laws banning sex-change surgeries and treatments for children and Texas’ abortion ban.

“All these ideologies stem from this Christo-fascism movement, which, essentially, like I said, is just using faith to exercise raw political, social and economic power,” said Talarico. “I think it’s dangerous to all of us, but particularly to those who are marginalized and oppressed in our state.”

The Four Way Squeeze

The days might still be long, but this is a dark season in our country’s politics. Everybody’s nervous and many are furious, and yet all that emotion goes nowhere, just eats you up while you watch and wait for signs that help is on the way. What would that help even look like? Maybe a concerted effort to bum-rush a whole lot of bad ideas out of American life and replace them with better ideas that are worth building a life around.

Of the two political parties that used to vie between the interests of property and of labor, there is almost nothing left — nothing coherent, anyway. Mr. Trump & Co. still stand outside a feckless Republican establishment that can only say “no.” That is bad enough, when it comes to vital matters like election reform and sound fiscal policy. But the President is methodically wearing them down with tactical work-arounds such as this week’s use of State Department visa control to prevent foreign visitors coming here just to drop birthright citizens.

Things will get super-serious when the president has to manage the government’s functional bankruptcy, the bond market crack-up under our impossible debt-burden, and all its knock-ons. It’s coming for sure, and will require a stringent reorganization of American finance, probably even of our money itself. That will be a moment when the nation understands what leadership really means, not just endless deception and fakery.

Speaking of which, you have the other party, the Democrats. The Dems, unmoored from the interests of labor (whatever is left of it), are now strictly just the party of bad ideas and crime. The party is also, at this juncture of history, caught in a gruesome four-way squeeze that could easily drag it into extinction. Let’s count them.

First, is the basic basket of ideas that comprise the party’s platform, readily identifiable for some years now as the “Woke” catalog. Virtually all of them are ideas that a majority of the public rejects as insane. A wide-open border. We tried that for four years under the fake president “Joe Biden.” Didn’t work out so well. Added many millions to the free everything dole that actual citizens resentfully have to pay for. Took jobs away from said citizens. Got a lot of (mostly) women murdered and raped. Let in Gawd knows how many foreign terrorists.

“Woke” also includes the DEI products of manufactured race animus and gender confusion, especially as applied in school from K all the way to PhD. Apart from the sheer hatred and idiocy these things generated, they also led to the scrapping of merit and excellence as organizing principles for civilization. Americans increasingly reject all of that.

The second squeeze point is the Democratic Party’s criminal portfolio. The Covid-19 operation was basically theirs. It killed and injured millions, wrecked the integrity of medicine, and brought on the deliberate perversion of our election procedure. It gave us fake President “Biden” and the autopen gang that ran him. Along the way, the party weaponized the law and produced one hoax after another: RussiaGate, Impeachment, J-6, the 2024 Trump trials — treason, sedition, deprivation of rights under color of law, obstruction of justice and much more. These crimes are a huge burden for the party and they are in the process of being adjudicated, and a lot of the party’s heroes will end up in prison.

STUNNING NEW EVIDENCE Reveals 68 Cities Where Dem-Funded GBI Strategies Sent Over 104 Packages Filled With MI Voter Registrations…Muskegon Was Only Where They Were Caught

Top Michigan media outlets, like the Detroit News and Free Press have done a grave injustice to the country by enabling Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s efforts to bury one of the most thoroughly documented investigations into organized election fraud in recent American history. Not only did members of the media downplay the statewide probe into GBI Strategies—launched just one month before the November 2020 election in Michigan—but they made no serious effort to examine or expose the full scope of the scheme or the number of cities and municipalities whose elections may have been compromised by the injection of an unknown volume of fraudulent registrations onto Michigan’s voter rolls.

Prior to the 2020 election, Michigan clerks were furious with Jocelyn Benson for telling them to IGNORE signature matching on absentee envelopes, in violation of election law.  Not only was Jocelyn Benson breaking the law with her “guidance” to the clerks, but at the same time, she was hiding the largest investigation into voter registration fraud in the state’s history from the clerks tasked with ensuring the integrity of the election.

Although the report shows Ann Meisch contacted the Muskegon Police Department on October 16, 2020, we have evidence she appears to have known about the fraudulent voter registratons as early as October 5, when she shared an image on a private Michigan Clerk’s Facebook page we were given access to following our exclusive report on the GBI Strategies/Empower Michigan bombshell investigation.

How The Investigation Began

From the October 26, 2020, Michigan State Police report:

On 10/16/20 Muskegon City Clerk Ann Meisch and Deputy Clerk Kimberly Young contacted the Muskegon Police Department after noticing irregularities in voter registration applications received both in person and by mail.

Meisch received a small quantity and then larger quantities of voter registration applications by mail from a female later identified as [REDACTED]. It was found that [REDACTED] was working for a company called GBI Strategies who also went by the name Empower Michigan. [“EM”]

Meisch stated that in her opinion a quantity of the voter registration forms were highly suspicious and possibly fraudulent. Meisch’s opinion was based on the fact that numerous forms appeared to have been completed by the same writer and upon initial examination addresses on multiple forms were invalid or non-existent. Meisch investigated further and found that phone numbers on multiple forms were erroneous and signatures on multiple forms didn’t appear to match signatures on file with the Department of Secretary of State. Examples included an address in the 7000 block of Pine St and another in the 600 black of Maffett St. Those addresses do not exist in the Muskegon City house numbering system. Another form listed 80 W. Southern Ave which is the address for Muskegon High School and is clearly not a residence.

Meisch found that all the suspected fraudulent applications came from a mailing address “EM” at two locations (24225 W. 9 Mile Rd in Southfield, MI) and (917 N. Opdyke, Auburn Hills, MI). Meisch stated some of the initial forms were dropped off on 10/8/20 by a black female who identified herself as [REDACTED] stated she was employed by Empower Michigan / GBI Strategies. working to register voters and help registered voters obtain absentee ballots.

Meisch told Officers that [REDACTED] appeared reluctant to talk about specifics regarding the company and stated she would have to talk to her supervisor before answering any additional questions. Meisch estimated that “EM” had delivered between 8,000-10,000 voter registration forms to the Muskegon City Clerk’s office. Meisch turned over 42 suspected fraudulent applications to Officer Foster for examination.

On 10/20/20 (deadline day for in-person voter registration applications) returned to the Muskegon City Clerk’s office to deliver additional registration forms in person. Meisch estimated that brought an additional 2500 forms. Meisch contacted the Muskegon Police Department and Detective Logan Anderson and Captain Shawn Bride conducted a non-custodial interview with initially provided a fictitious date of birth. It was discovered that had a misdemeanor warrant issued by the Madison Heights Police Department that was beyond pickup range. [REDACTED] told Detectives she worked for GBI Strategies and is employed by owner Gary Bell. [REDACTED] said she was hired in Michigan in August of 2020 and is paid $1150 per week to find un-registered voters and provide them with a form so they can get registered to vote or obtain their absentee ballot. [REDACTED] stated she has worked in different areas of Michigan and is provided a rental car and lodged in local hotels.[REDACTED] initially told investigators that “canvassers” are paid for each form that is completed but later stated that they were paid hourly no matter how many forms were turned in.
