DSA Members Can’t Bring Themselves to Admit Cuba is a Dictatorship – Immediately Try to BUT TRUMP!

During a recent conversation with Latino journalist Jorge Ramos, high ranking members of the DSA turned into a stuttering mess when they were asked a simple question about whether or not Cuba is a dictatorship. HINT – It is.

They immediately try to make the issue about Trump and the blockade on Cuba, because they cannot answer this question honestly.

Ramos keeps trying to give them an opportunity to answer the question, pointing out that Cuba has not had real elections in decades, engages in all forms of censorship and has political prisoners, but they just won’t embrace the truth.

From Stu Smith:

DSA Co-Chairs Squirm When Pressed on Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua

This is a longer clip, but it captures the best parts of a broader discussion DSA national co-chairs Ashik Siddique and Megan Romer had with The Moment hosts Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos.

Jorge repeatedly presses them on whether Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua are dictatorships. They repeatedly avoid giving him a direct answer.

Romer eventually responds that “Cubans have access to their democracy in a way that we do not,” pointing to Cuba’s 2022 Family Code referendum as evidence. That referendum was only four years ago, making it an especially curious answer to Jorge Ramos repeatedly pressing her on decades without multiparty elections.

Ashik Siddique fares little better. Asked whether Cuba is a dictatorship, he pivots to the U.S. embargo and the state of American politics, responding that “it’s hard for us to judge other countries being dictatorships when we have Donald Trump as president.”…

When it comes to international politics, DSA is often at its most revealing. Siddique and Romer are not even among the organization’s most die-hard internationalists. This is really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how radical DSA’s international politics can get.

‘Shadow government’ strikes again: FBI secretly branded journalists, Trump officials as Russian mouthpieces

The FBI secretly labeled journalists, senior Trump administration officials and members of Congress as conduits of Russian disinformation, newly declassified documents show.

An FBI operation codenamed “Round River” worked to paint derogatory information about former President Joe Biden, corruption and Ukraine supplied by confidential human sources as Russian disinformation. The so-called “Ukraine narrative” included information about the Biden family, Burisma, Hunter Biden and Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election.

A White House Transparency Task Force helmed by journalist John Solomon declassified two document sets on Wednesday night: A slide deck describing the Round River operation from Trump’s Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and a spreadsheet of persons of interest in the operation.

The FBI’s distinction between “conduits” of Russian disinformation and “targets” of Russian disinformation is clear. The bureau classified Republicans as the perpetrators and Democrats as the victims.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Rep. Jim Jordan, former Rep. Devin Nunes, One America News Network correspondent Chanel Rion and Solomon were among the individuals the FBI smeared as instruments of a Russian psyop.

DISGUSTING! Hillary Clinton Melts Down Over Trump Beautifying America — Vows to Tear Down His Arch and “Make a List” of Monuments to Destroy, Then Compares Oval Office to Saddam Hussein’s Palaces

Failed 2016 candidate and perennial sore loser Hillary Clinton is at it again. This time, Hillary Clinton is openly fantasizing about ripping down the very monuments and improvements President Donald Trump has brought to Washington, D.C., to restore beauty, pride, and American greatness.

During an appearance on Kara Swisher’s Pivot podcast, Clinton declared that Democrats will have to undo Trump’s work the moment they get the chance.

“We will have to take down the Arch. We will have to worry about the Reflecting Pool. I’m making a list,” she said, referring to the President’s ambitious Independence Arch project near Arlington and the ongoing efforts to restore the iconic Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

After Swisher remarked that the gold ornamentation felt like Saddam Hussein, Clinton eagerly embraced the comparison.

Recalling meetings she attended in Baghdad as a senator following Hussein’s fall, Clinton said his palaces were “quite reminiscent of what we are seeing in our own White House. It’s just insane.”

Clinton went on to criticize the gold trim and interior detailing added to the White House, calling the aesthetic “tacky” and labeling the President “narcissistic.”

She also complained about plans for a new White House ballroom, questioning what future administrations would do with the space.

At Least 22 Dem AGs Agreed to Coordinate Takedown of Trump, Keep Public in Dark Going Into 2024 Election

At least 22 Democratic attorneys general signed an ominous “common interest agreement” document before President Donald Trump’s 2024 election, vowing to pursue lawfare against Trump’s future administration.

The document outlined a lawfare campaign that would become known as the “Project for Federal Accountability,” according to The Center Square.

The document was reportedly signed three months before former President Joe Biden exited the 2024 presidential race to make room for then-Vice President Kamala Harris.

The “Project for Federal Accountability” was later referenced in then-New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy’s budget in early 2025, according to Zach Blackburn of the National Journal Hotline. Murphy is a Democrat. So was his attorney general, Matt Platkin.

Communism Breaches America’s Shores: Democrats to Punish “Trump-Aligned” Businesses if They Retake the House in November

Make no mistake about it, communism has breached the shores of America.

You thought it was bad when Democrats raided President Trump’s home for no reason.
You thought it was bad when Democrats rounded up over 1,500 Americans following the fed-surrection on January 6, 2021, and destroyed their lives, resulting in numerous suicides.
You thought it was bad when Democrats punished the alternative electors who broke no laws but were ready to vote Trump into office in January 2021 if they were called to do so.
You thought it was bad when Democrats and their intel services went after devout Catholics in America.
You thought it was bad when Democrats sent armed SWAT teams to arrest Christian pro-life fathers who objected to killing the unborn.
You thought it was bad when Democrats and their intel lackies went after ALL of President Trump’s family and even raided Melania Trump’s underwear drawer.
You thought it was bad when Democrats punished Trump’s greatest American supporters.
You thought it was bad when Democrats, using the government, went after Pro-Trump voices like The Gateway Pundit to cripple us financially and with their lies.

You haven’t seen anything yet.

Now We Have Proof the Democrats’ Anti-Trump Lawfare Was Never About the Law

Long before Donald Trump took the oath of office for his second term — heck, before he was even reelected — Democrat state attorneys general were already building the machine designed to stop him.

Records show that at least 22 Democrat attorneys general joined a coalition called the Project for Federal Accountability starting in April 2024, roughly seven months before Trump defeated Kamala Harris. Seven attorneys general signed the agreement on April 28, 2024. Thirteen more joined in May and June.

The pact was called “Privileged & Confidential Common Interest Agreement.” It was built to do exactly what it sounds like: Keep the states’ coordination hidden from the public and from anyone who might dare oppose them in court. The signers said they wanted to pursue their shared legal interests “while avoiding any waiver of the confidentiality of those privileged materials.” Translation: Total secrecy while colluding against a sitting president who hadn’t even taken office yet.

To me, the most significant part of this pact is that Biden was still in the race when the first signatures went on that agreement in April 2024. He wouldn’t drop out for nearly three months. The sitting Democrat president was telling the country he intended to serve another term, the party was acting like he was going to win, all while Democrat attorneys general were already plotting to stop Trump upon his inevitable return to office.

The coalition had already divided up legal research by topic, built a shared “brief bank” of pre-drafted briefs, and pored over the Project 2025 policy blueprint hunting for lawsuit targets. Trump hadn’t signed a bill. He hadn’t issued an executive order. He hadn’t taken any official action as president, because he wasn’t president yet. None of that mattered. The lawsuits were already being written.

Since Trump’s second term began, Democrat attorneys general have sued his administration close to 100 times. California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D-Calif.) has taken part in 82 of those lawsuits. Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser (D-Colo.) has joined at least 75. Washington Attorney General Nick Brown (D-Wash.) has joined 70.

Bonta insists the coalition’s work is “apolitical.” Seriously? He also said, “If (Trump) doesn’t want to get sued, all he has to do is follow the law,” adding, “I don’t think our cases are likely to be dismissed… Trump shows no sign of slowing down, so we will continue to sue him.”

Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown (D-Md.) claims the early coordination was reasonable preparation once Trump’s nomination looked inevitable, but this confirms that the strategy was always about resistance, not the rule of law.

Even people outside the conservative media world find this strange. Retired Connecticut judge Thomas Moukawsher mocked the coalition’s chosen name: “‘Federal Accountability?’ That’s just a little strange.” 

Former Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, a Republican who now often votes for Democrats, called the secrecy “not normal at all.”

Dog-Abusing, Trump-Hating Rep. Shri Thanedar LOSES His Primary to Radical Socialist as Democrat Establishment Gets Humiliated in Michigan

Democratic Socialists/Communists have scored another massive win in Michigan, and this one is actually quite satisfying.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Islamo-Marxist Abdul El-Sayed narrowly defeated the faux moderate Democrat Haley Stevens in the Michigan Democratic Primary for Senator. Stevens was backed by Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Senator Chuck Schumer.

El-Sayed will now face former Rep. Mike Rogers, who ran unopposed in the GOP primary, in the November general election.

Polling showed that El-Sayed would cruise to a massive landslide win, but he will only end up winning by less than one percentage point.

Now, another establishment Democrat, Rep. Shri Thanedar, has just lost his primary to Donavan McKinney, a 34-year-old Democratic socialist state rep.

Like El-Sayed, McKinney was backed by several big-name socialists across America, including Bernie Sanders.

From NBC:

Rep. Shri Thanedar has lost his Democratic primary in Michigan to state Rep. Donavan McKinney, NBC News projects, in a victory for the party’s progressive wing.

The 34-year-old McKinney won the backing of a number of prominent progressives across the state and country and secured the latest victory for the faction mounting an intraparty insurgency against the Democratic establishment.

McKinney, a 34-year-old state lawmaker and democratic socialist, is running on a progressive platform including “Medicare for All” and putting new restrictions on military aid to Israel, while pushing massive investments in sectors like clean energy and housing.

Despite McKinney’s obviously dangerous politics, this is a victory all should celebrate.

First, Thanedar’s own policies are not that different from the far left. He was even aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America before reportedly being expelled by a local chapter in 2023.

Thanedar has also become a sad joke in Democrat circles with his pathetic attempts to impeach President Trump and endless humiliating TV appearances.

But there is a quite sinister side to Thanedar as well: several years ago, this monster allegedly tested drugs on innocent beagles and left them to die.

Thanedar formally owned a pharmaceutical testing lab facility in New Jersey called AniClin Preclinical Services before it was shuttered in 2010. Several reports confirm that 118 lab-tested beagles were rescued from the facility along with dozens of monkeys.

The animals were left behind in horrific conditions.

Here is how USA Today described the scene before the heroic rescue:

Day after day, month after month, year after year, they were confined to plexiglass crates, fed and watered on precise schedules, kept clean. But with no opportunity to leave their solitary little boxes and spend time with others like themselves, with nothing but the most antiseptic contact with humans and no time outside the gleaming, climate-controlled facility, the 118 beagles — lab dogs used to test drugs and chemicals—displayed nothing of the much-acclaimed breed characteristics: joyful, noisy, and curious.

But that’s not all: USDA inspection reports from 2009 showed multiple previous federal violations by Thanedar’s company. Even worse, Thanedar’s legal team also sought to sell the innocent animals to recover corporate debt.

Thanedar got a much-delayed version of karma from a political standpoint. It’s just too bad he won’t be seeing the inside of a cell.

FBI Follies: Bureau secretly probed Trump as a Russian asset for firing Comey: declassified memos

he FBI opened a criminal probe specifically targeting Donald Trump in May 2017, alleging the newly elected president may have been acting as a Russian asset when he fired then-Director James Comey even though the bureau’s own evidence overwhelmingly showed at the time there was no collusion with the Kremlin.

Internal memos newly declassified by the White House show the investigation – codenamed “Oxferd Comma” – was launched in the immediate aftermath of Comey’s May 9, 2017, firing and was predicated on an allegation that previously released memos show the bureau’s own agents had mostly dismissed.

“The FBI is opening a full investigation based on an articulable factual basis that reasonably indicates that President Donald J. Trump may be or has been, wittingly or unwittingly, involved in activities for or on behalf of the Government of the Russian Federation which may constitute violations of federal criminal law or threats to the national security of the United States,” the electronic communication opening the probe on May 16, 2017, stated.

Goal of the investigation was to determine if Trump was directed by or controlled by the Russian Federation 

“The goal of the investigation is to determine if President Trump is or was directed by, controlled by, and/or coordinated activities with, the Russian Federation in a manner constituting a threat to the national security of the United States and/or a violation of federal criminal statutes,” it added. “In addition, this investigation will also seek to determine whether President Trump and others yet to be named obstructed and/or conspiracy to obstruct any associated FBI investigation.”

OXFERD COMMA – Opening EC – redacted and declassified by FBI 7.30.26 (2).pdf

The memo, written by the FBI’s counterintelligence division and approved by then-FBI General Counsel James Baker and then-Assistant Director for Counterintelligence William Priestap, made clear the concerns about Russian influence and obstruction included Comey’s firing, in part because of the public explanations Trump gave for the termination.

“This alternative explanation can be reasonably read to imply that the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation was a factor in President Trump’s decision to terminate Comey,” the memo stated.

Both the Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein were advised that the probe had been launched, the memos show.

OXFERD COMMA – FBI Informs DOJ – redacted and declassified by FBI 7.30.26.pdf

The FBI marked the investigation as a “sensitive investigative matter” and declared it was “the least intrusive method to address the serious national security risk posed by the activities alleged.”

But that decision proved anything but nonintrusive: it prompted the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller by Rosenstein and a nearly two-year probe that hampered the start of the Trump presidency even though Mueller’s team, like the FBI before it, was unable to substantiate any collusion between Russia and Trump’s campaign during the 2016 election.

A subsequent investigation by Special Counsel John Durham – released by the Biden Justice Department in 2023 – concluded there was no basis for the FBI to even open the original Crossfire Hurricane investigation into alleged Trump-Russia collusion.

durhamreport (1).pdf

The newly declassified Oxferd Comma memos show the case was closed on April 9, 2019, a few weeks after Mueller’s probe was sunset with a final report and no charges against Trump.

“The Special Counsel provided the Attorney General with a confidential report explaining his prosecution and declination decisions,” the closing memo noted.

Capital One Admits It Closed Over 300 Trump Organization Accounts After Internal AML Review — Bank Calls Political Debanking Claims ‘Misguided’

Capital One Financial disclosed in a late-Friday court filing that it closed more than 300 Trump Organization-affiliated bank accounts in 2021 — not because of politics, the bank insists, but following a “months-long” internal anti-money laundering review. The disclosure, reported by Reuters and confirmed by CNBC, marks the first time any financial institution has formally cited AML concerns in connection with the Trump family’s business empire.

The filing, submitted to federal court in Miami on August 1, 2026, is Capital One’s latest attempt to dismiss a lawsuit brought by the Trump Organization and Eric Trump in March 2025. The suit alleges that Capital One acted on “woke” political ideology and sought to capitalize on the anti-Trump sentiment that surged after the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Capital One’s lawyers called those allegations “misguided” and insisted that “the closures were the result of months of analysis and a careful review by Capital One’s AML team in accordance with bank policies and regulatory guidance.”

The bank was careful to add a crucial qualifier: it “never accused the Trump Organization of illegal money laundering.” Instead, Capital One argues its compliance team identified “transaction patterns” that fit the types of activity flagged under federal Bank Secrecy Act guidance — a distinction that may satisfy regulators but does little to quiet the political firestorm the case has ignited.

Conservative critics have long argued that the post-January 6 wave of corporate debanking — in which major financial institutions quietly closed accounts tied to figures on the political right — amounts to ideological discrimination dressed up in regulatory language. Capital One is hardly alone in the dock. In January 2026, the Trump Organization filed a separate $5 billion suit against JPMorgan Chase on identical grounds. Trump signed an executive order in August 2025 specifically banning discriminatory debanking, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has launched a review of nine major banks over the practice.

The Miami federal court has now dismissed two prior versions of the Trump-Capital One complaint, each time allowing an amended filing. The latest amended complaint, submitted in July 2026, claims the bank’s AML rationale is a post-hoc cover story, pointing to “cherry-picked” internal documents that the bank says, when read in full context, vindicate its compliance process. U.S. District Judge Roy Altman will now decide whether the Trump team has finally built a case strong enough to survive.

Jasmine Crockett Criticizes Black People Who Voted for Trump: ‘Like, Really?’

Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas was recently giving remarks at an event for the National Urban League, where she told a story about a young black woman whose father may have voted for Trump.

It seems inconceivable to Crockett. Democrats always act mystified when black people vote Republican.

It’s also worth noting that this is a typical Crockett moment. She is just overflowing with undeserved self-confidence.

Townhall reports:

Jasmine Crockett Bashes Black Trump Supporters

Soon-to-be former Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) has a huge problem with black people who don’t vote for her party.

During a recent panel discussion, Crockett recounted hearing from a young black woman who told her that her dad did not want to vote for former Vice President Kamala Harris. “He was like, ‘if I go vote, it’s going to be for Trump.’”

“And she asked him, and I asked, I said, ‘did he vote?’ She was like, ‘I don’t know. I don’t want to ask.’ But nevertheless, One of the things that she said was, ‘my dad said he could trust Trump.’ And I was like, ‘really?’ And so the reality is that that’s not the first time I’ve had that conversation,” Crockett continued.
