The more and more I look around today, the more I’ve seen how evil has infiltrated our society, which seems to be counterintuitive because I thought with our post-enlightenment understanding and consciousness that we would be moving further and further away from evil, but in reality, we seem to be embracing it more and more. The case in point is what happened in Massachusetts yesterday. The governor of Massachusetts, Maura Healey, surrounded by a room full of liberal women signed a bill into law, allowing abortion up until birth. As she signed the bill, the room full of women broke into giddy applause. And to me, that was the most-evil part of this whole scenario.

We can argue whether abortion is ever medically necessary in the third trimester. I’ve read and heard several obstetricians claim that there is no medical condition that threatens the life of the mother where a late term abortion is preferable to save her life than actually delivering the baby alive or performing a C-section. I am sure that there will be some obstetricians who will argue that a late term abortion is medically necessary in order to save the life of the mother in certain circumstances. But we cannot argue that the baby in the third trimester is not a living baby. Babies are born in their 8^th month and 7^th month all the time, and live perfectly healthy and happy lives. I personally know of two people who were born at 25 weeks, in their 6^th month of gestation, weighing less than 2 pounds, who are now thriving and happy adults.

If, for the sake of argument, they are right, and they needed to legalize late term abortion to save the life of the mother – then every late term abortion is a tragedy. I am not claiming that the mother’s life should not be saved, I am merely pointing out that if anyone must make that binary choice between the life of the mother and the life of the baby, it is a tragic decision. If there is a 37-week gestational baby who weighs 6 pounds and every organ in the baby’s body has become fully functional, and the mother develops a life-threatening medical condition in which an obstetrician decides the best course of action to save the mother’s life is to kill the baby, that is nothing short of a tragedy. Being forced to kill an innocent baby under any circumstance is the definition of a tragedy.

So, my question is why were all of those women standing behind governor Healey smiling and applauding when she signed that bill? Why were they so giddy with excitement? If this governor actually believed that this legislation is a medical necessity, the bill should have been signed in an empty room with an extremely heavy heart. There should have been tears in her eyes and her hand should have been trembling as she signed her name onto that piece of paper, knowing that by doing so 37-week, 38-week, 39-week healthy babies will be killed. Regardless of where you fall on this issue, aborting a third trimester baby is a tragedy because it is killing a baby who could have easily survived outside the womb, and lived a fully healthy and happy life. So why were all of those women cheering and applauding? Why?

Those women are evil. I don’t care how well they’re dressed; I don’t care how nice they look; I don’t care how pretty their smiles are, they are evil. There’s no two ways around it. In no sane universe, do non-evil people applaud the potential killing of a baby at 38 weeks gestation. It’s disturbing that these women seemed so happy to display to the world how evil they are. That’s absolutely insane.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of where the left is in our society today. The left has fully embraced the evil in the world. They always side with evil over the good. They sainted multiple felon George Floyd who pressed a loaded gun into the belly of a pregnant woman as he was robbing her. They gave him three funerals. Mahatma Gandhi didn’t have three funerals. They have canonized Dr. Anthony Fauci who used taxpayer money to fund the gain of function research which created the Covid-19 virus which killed millions of people, and he lied about its origin, and then he lied about the lack of effectiveness of the therapeutics, so he could make millions off of the dangerous vaccine that was forced on us that he claimed protected us from the deadly virus he helped create.

They side with murderers and rapists over law enforcement and law-abiding citizens. They protect criminals aliens over ICE agents. They call ICE agents evil because they are apprehending and deporting criminal aliens from our country. The left wants the criminal aliens to stay and continue to rape and murder and sell drugs throughout our communities. The left has glorified people like Renee Goode and Alex Pretti, two leftists who were killed in the process of attacking and attempting to murder ICE agents who were trying to remove the rapists and murderers from our country.

250 thousand young girls have been raped in Great Britain over the past 10 years by Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs, and no one on the left in that country stands up for those young women because doing so would justify the deportation of foreigners who have come to the West to rape and pillage but the left relies on to win elections. So, now we have a large segment of the left siding with the Pakistani rape gangs over the young women who are being raped. That is evil.

The left has fully embraced murderous ideologies such as communism and Islamism without a thought or trepidation of their bloody history. No one on the left stands up and denounces far left communist Muslim podcaster Hassan Piker who has said that the United States deserved 9/11 and that his goal is to destroy and impoverished the white middle class in this country. No one on the left has denounced him. Donald Trump was asked at least fifteen times to denounce David Duke – a former Klansman who has not been relevant in this country for 30 years – yet no politician on the left has been forced to denounce Hassan Piker, why? We have allowed so much evil into our country that an evil person like Hassan Piker has gained millions of followers, and the politicians on the left need those votes. So, they will never denounce the hate and evil that he spews.

It is absolutely mindboggling to me how anyone could be cheering a bill that was signed which allows doctors to rip the limbs off of fully developed babies in the womb, to crush their skulls and rip out their beating hearts. But there was a room full of people cheering that on a day ago in Massachusetts. They were not Nazi prison guards or fanatical Islamic terrorists, they were white women who looked like they could be suburban mothers, yet they are as evil and cold-hearted and destructive as any Nazi or Islamic terrorist, and those are the people running the Democrat party who want to run our country and control the world.

When asked about the possibility of including trans-identifying males in girls’ and women’s sports, Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham recently said, “I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men. … I think that I am here to extend love. But I also think with that love is truth, being honest.” After receiving an onslaught of criticism on social media for that answer, she asked if she still stood by her statements, Cunningham replied, “I said what I said.”

When her Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White was asked a similar question, she evaded the question by responding, “I don’t know that I would say that I am not educated enough from a scientific standpoint. I don’t ever believe that exclusion is the answer.”

In the Fever’s next game against the Minnesota Lynx, the Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeves wore a “Trans Kids Belong” t-shirt during their game. Afterwards, Reeves said, “exclusion is never the answer. Separate isn’t equal.” If exclusion is never the answer, then why are biological males excluded from women’s sports in the first place? If separate isn’t equal, then why are women’s sports separate from men’s sports?

Reeves went onto say that she wants to “educate” Sophie Cunningham which is the height of arrogance. What she means by “educate” is, ‘I am smarter than Sophie Cunningham, so it is my job to indoctrinate her into thinking like me, and adopting my opinions.’ At the same time that Reeves wants males competing in female sports, taking gold medals and roster spots from women, she is complaining that there are too many men coaching in women’s sports. I guess exclusion is an answer if it means preserving your job.

WNBA Golden State Valkyries head coach Natalie Nakase chimed in on the controversy by stating that “sports is about belonging. Its about inclusivity… that includes transwomen.” She went onto say that she is “all about” transwomen playing in the WNBA. “Sports is about belonging... I’m big on that just because I have been criticized for my height, for my ethnicity.”

It is ironic that these two professional basketball coaches speak about the importance of “belonging” in sports as they coach in one of the most exclusive leagues in the world, where hundreds of women are cut each year. Those women are handed their walking papers and told that they do not belong. They are excluded from participating. And these coaches are the ones who are doing the excluding. Professional sports is not about inclusion and belonging. It is highly competitive. It is cut throat. Success and inclusion is based solely on merit, and not by rigging the system to your advantage.

Trans-identifying people should be allowed to compete in sports, but they should only compete with those who share their same biological sex at birth. No one is saying that transwomen should be excluded from competing all together, they should just compete in the men’s division because they were born with a male body and they should not compete in the women’s division. So, theses coaches are wrong by making this issue about inclusion when it is really an issue of proper placement. The transwomen will not want to compete in the men’s division because they will argue that it would be unfair because due to their transition, the men have a physical advantage over them which ironically is the same argument that women are using against transwomen.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson could not help but to jump in the fray when she claimed that banning trans-athletes from women sports is “discrimination”. She is right. Banning trans people from women’s sports is discrimination. It absolutely is. That’s the point of having women’s sports. It’s to discriminate – separate male bodies from female bodies. Not everyone is or should be included in female sports, just as Little League baseball discriminates against anyone over the age of 12. It’s discrimination, but it is discrimination that makes sense and keeps the competition fair. We do not want 18-year-olds playing against 12-year-olds, even if the 18-year-old identifies as a 12-year-old.

In 2001, Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defined the word discriminate as; to see special features or note a difference between things (to differentiate); To mark or distinguish by discerning differences, especially to separate an object from another; and to distinguish and select what is true or appropriate or excellent. Its synonym was discernment.

25 years later, the definition has magically morphed into; to unfairly treat a person or group differently from other people or groups on a class or categorical basis (such as race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation). So, now if you discriminate at all, you are lumped in with racists, sexists and homophobes. The woke leftists are rewriting dictionaries, now. As proof, the sentence the dictionary used the word in was: “the court ruled the ID law was intended to discriminate against voters of color.” Actually, voter ID laws are intended to discriminate, but only between those who can vote legally and those who were trying to vote illegally. But because they have baked a negative connotation into the word discriminate, anytime that we discriminate, we are accused of being bigoted or prejudicial.

It is okay and even necessary to discriminate. We can discriminate between good people and bad people, law abiding citizens and criminals, those who love America and those who don’t, citizens and non-citizens, legal voters and those trying to commit voter fraud. Simply because we discriminate does not mean we are racist or bigoted or prejudiced. For example, a disproportionate percentage of the prison population is black, and the leftists claim that’s discrimination. It is. We discriminate between who we throw into jail, based solely on who commits crime. The police are not arresting random innocent black people; they are arresting people based on who breaks the law, and it just so happens that a disproportionate number of black people break the law.

Theres a disproportionate number of black people in the NBA, is that also a sign of racial discrimination? It is a sign of discrimination but not racial discrimination. The NBA teams discriminate based on who can play basketball on an NBA level and who can’t, and after they discriminate on that basis, they look up and they see that there’s a disproportion number of players who are black in the NBA just as the cops discriminate based on who commits crimes and who doesn’t, and in the end, they see there’s a disproportion number of black people in prison.

It is wrong to discriminate based on sex, except when it comes to sports. The purpose of having women sports is specifically to discriminate between men and women. Men have a distinct physical advantage over women when it comes to athletics. According to the CDC Body Measurements, in the United States, adult men are on average about 5.4 inches taller and 28 pounds heavier than adult women. On average, adult men are physically stronger than adult women, with female muscle strength typically between 40% to 70% of male strength. Males have larger skeletal size, higher bone density, greater total lean body mass, and a greater proportion of fast-twitch muscle fibers. Males have larger lung capacity which produces larger oxygen and blood flow through their bodies. The results of these physical advantages are evident. Up until now, transwomen have “won” 1,941 gold metals over biological women. The most ironic part of this whole issue is that these trans athletes hate their male bodies so much that they want to radically change them, yet they have no problem, using their male bodies to unfairly take medals away people who were born with female bodies.

So, it is right to discriminate between males and females in sports. If we didn’t, if women were forced to compete with men athletically, we would never have heard of female icons such as Serena Williams, Simone Biles, Alex Morgan, Naomi Osaka, Katie Ledecky, Billie Jean King, Florence Griffith Joyner, Mia Hamm, Caitlin Clark, and thousands of other elite female athletes. Those names would mean nothing to us if we did not discriminate between men and women when it came to sports. Serena Williams even admitted that “ a woman should not compete with a man… men’s tennis and women’s tennis are completely almost two separate sports. If I [Serena Williams] were to play Andy Murray, I would lose 6-0, 6-0… the men are a lot faster, and they serve harder.” That’s why trans-identifying males like A.B. Hernandez is dominating women high school sports in California and shattering state records in track and field.

In 2017, an Academy team of 15-year-old boys from Dallas played the US Women’s Soccer National Team, and beat them handily. They could all claim that they are in fact girls, and replace every single member of the US Women’s National Team. So, the entire purpose of having women’s sports is to discriminate between the male body and the female body. The more society allows male bodies to compete in female sports, the less female, female sports becomes, until one day female sports will not be distinguishable from male sports.

On Thursday, tens of thousands of Moroccans stormed the border of the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta after the top Spanish court banned the deportation of illegal immigrants from Spain. Masses of illegals flooded across the border into Spain with the full intent of taking advantage of all the benefits of Spain without having contributed anything to the country. Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez claimed that “the immigrants coming to Ceuta are women and children, many of them malnourished”. But the videos of the invasion show that 99% of those who came into Ceuta were adult males of military age.

Think about the utter audacity it takes to do what those Moroccans are doing to Spain. They’re just crossing the border illegally, violating Spain’s boundaries, sovereignty and laws, fulling intending to live there, and fully expecting that the country whose borders, laws and sovereignty that they just violated, will support them to live their country, and if anyone objects, they will call them evil and racist. Are we sick of this yet? Are we tired of people claiming that they have the God-given right to steal from you simply because they will call you a racist if you do not allow them to do so? No citizen of one country has the right to enter another country without the express permission of the host country, and they do not have the right to any of the benefits, resources, social services or voting rights of that country, and it is the height of privilege for them to think that they do.

It’s one thing to steal from people and violate their country’s laws, it’s a whole level of evil, to paint the people you’re stealing from and the countries whose laws you’re violating as being evil because they object to you stealing from them and violating their laws. The thieves and the criminals want to present themselves as the victims, and accuse the people in the country they are victimizing as the villains. It is absolutely disgusting. What kind of immoral immature mentality must you have to think this way, to believe that you have the right to steal from others, to think that you have the right to violate other country’s boundaries, sovereignty and laws. What gives you that right?

Make no mistake, those people aren’t invading Spain to get a job and support themselves through hard work and diligence. If they were hardworking and diligent, the they would have already built Morrocco into a prosperous country. These people are invading Spain to get all the free benefits that Spain will offer them. It’s truly disgusting. It’s not just happening in Europe. It’s happening here in the United States of America. Think about the Somali communities that live in the United States. They came from one of the worst countries on the planet – a country that is filled with corruption, violence and poverty. And they were allowed to come into one of the greatest, if not the greatest country on the planet, and how did they repay the country that allowed them to come here and benefit from the greatness, prosperity and the wonderfully generous people of America? Were they so grateful and thankful that they went to extremes to obey the laws and customs of their host country? No, they chose to set up elaborate schemes to steal $9 billion from the state of Minnesota, and billions of dollars from other states. And it wasn’t just one or two bad actors. It was pervasive throughout the entire Somali community.

They always compare present day illegal immigrants to the European immigrants who came to this country 100 to 150 years ago. What’s the difference between those two? They will ask. And the answer is very simple. When the European immigrants came here, there was no welfare state; there was no public assistance; every immigrant who came here had to work to support themselves; they had to contribute to the country in order to survive. And the European immigrants who came here were exceedingly grateful to the United States of America for giving them the opportunity where they could actually work and support themselves. There was no entitlement.

89% of Somali households with children in Minnesota rely on welfare. Of the 50 million Muslims living in Europe over 40 million are on welfare and social services. The illegal immigrants, and even many of the legal immigrants that come here have an extreme entitlement. They believe that the wealth and the prosperity of the United States that others created is owed to them for just existing. And when they don’t get what they want or as much as they want from our country, they decide to steal from our country. And beyond all that, at the same time, many of them have decided to start attacking the people and the country.

Immigrant Mohamed Ali Kan was caught trying to rape a 14-year-old girl. When caught, he said: “I’ve only just arrived, I didn’t know raping kids was illegal here.” Dissect the mentality of the people we are allowing into this country. They do not believe that raping a 14-year-old is inherently wrong regardless of the legal consequences. The only reason why he would not rape a 14-year-old, is if it were illegal. That is the glimpse of the internal moral compass of these people. But it is not simply a misaligned moral code that is so dangerous with those who are coming here, there is also an utter contempt and hatred for the country that has so generously welcomed them.

In Dearborn, Michigan, the Muslims there have banned Jews and Christians in their community, and there have been thousands of Muslims in the streets chanting “death to America!” In New York City, Islamists are ripping down American flags and replacing them with Muslims flags. That is how they repay the generosity and welcoming of the United States. They are not here to integrate. They are here to conquer America into a Sharia Islamic state. This is an invasion. Islam does not assimilate. It demands supremacy and wants to replace our culture.

But what about the good ones? The so-called “good ones” are standing by allowing all this to happen. They’re not speaking out against it. They are not pushing back against these people in their communities that are doing all this. They’re not telling the bad actors, what you were doing is harming our immigrant community or we should respect the country that has been so generous to us. No, they do not do that. Never. They just let it happen. They’re complicit with all the illegal and violently aggressive behavior because they believe that when the Muslims do take over and implement Sharia law in America, they will benefit from it. So, they remain silent.

We, in the West, are expected to be welcoming of foreigners, but there is no respect given back from those who we are welcoming; there is no decorum that is expected from them. There is absolutely no respect given to us. Can we all agree at this point that illegal immigrants and many legal immigrants are completely horrible people. And maybe if they were better people, more moral people, smarter people, hard working people, then their home countries would actually be places that they would want to live, but instead they drove their home countries into complete hell-holes just as they will do to our country. But until Americans wake up and see what is going on, these immigrants will continue to come here and turn our prosperous thriving country into the hell-hole from which they came, that they created and are creating here. The problem is, once we reach critical mass, there will be no turning back. In the end, it is the people who make the country great, it is not the country that makes the people great, and the more selfish, lazy, immoral people who we bring here, the more awful our country will become until it is totally unrecognizable.

Dr. Anthony Fauci was on Capitol Hill yesterday not answering questions from Senators about his role in misleading the public during the Covid pandemic. He pleaded the 5^th Amendment 111 times during the Senate’s Covid oversight hearings, even though he had been given blanket immunity by Joe Biden on his way out of the White House. Fauci did not need Fifth Amendment protection because he could not “be a witness against himself”; he could not self-incriminate. Joe Biden gave that protection to him, yet he still refused to answer questions. Even though, he cannot be convicted criminally, he knows if he answered those questions yesterday, he would have been convicted in the court of public opinion. The more Fauci declined to answer questions and the less transparent he was, the more obvious it became that almost everything that we were told about Covid by our government, by the doctors who were leading the CDC, were lies.

We were told that the virus originated from a pangolin in a wet market in Wuhan, China and not leak from the Wuhan lab that was doing gain-of-function research on bat viruses. We were told that the government didn’t fund gain-of-function research when it has been proven that it did. We are told that locking the country down and preventing kids from going to school and playing sports would stop the spread of the virus, which it didn’t. We were told that masks prevented the spread of the virus which they didn’t. We were told that we had to remain 6 feet apart, which was a completely arbitrary made-up restriction. We were prevented from seeing our loved ones over holidays or as they were dying in nursing homes. We were told that Ivermectin and Hydroxy-chloroquine were dangerous and ineffective drugs when research has shown that they were not only safe but effective against Covid. We were told that the vaccines were safe and effective when they were really experimental drugs rushed to the market in order to make the pharmaceutical companies hundreds of billions of dollars. Dr. Fauci took the Fifth on every single one of these lies that came from him or the department that he ran.

Many of us eventually figured out that we were being lied to when they started telling us nonsensical things such as, the vaccine isn’t meant to protect you, it’s meant to protect your neighbors. Or when we saw our friends and neighbors fired from their jobs because they refused to take the experimental vaccines, but at the same time, our government allowed 15 million unvaccinated foreigners to walk through our open borders into our country. Or when we were locked down in our homes, watching on TV freedom loving Americans being arrested for protesting the lockdowns, while the BLM protesters and rioters were allowed to protest and riot by the thousands whenever and wherever they wanted.

When people started figuring out that they were being lied to by their government, and that their lives had been unnecessarily turned upside down, they started speaking out, exposing the lies, and the liars and those who helped perpetuate their lies, started calling those who told the truth names such as, “conspiracy theorists”, “right wing wackos”, “science deniers”, “anti-science”. They tried to silence them. They tried to cancel them. They tried to get them fired from their jobs. They de-platformed them on social media. They tried to make them societal pariahs as punishment for going against the official government narrative.

We must recognize this pattern. Whether we’re talking about Covid, election fraud, the effects of unfettered mass immigration, the infiltration of communism into our government, the infiltration of Muslims across all aspects of our society in order to take over the country, whatever the issue may be, we can determine who is telling the truth and who is lying, by seeing which side is being called names, is being silenced, de-platformed, canceled. If they don’t let you speak, if they try to bully you into silence, you are telling the truth, you are on the right side of the issue.

Share

When you are over the target of truth, the name calling begins, the attempts to silence being, the cancelling and de-platforming begin. If you speak out against election fraud, they will call you an “election denier” or “anti-democracy”. If you speak out against transing minors or drag queens in kindergarten classrooms, they will call you “trans-phobic” or “homo-phobic”. If you speak out against Somalis stealing $9 billion of taxpayer’s money in Minnesota, they will call you a “racist”. If you post stories about criminal aliens raping and murdering American citizens, they will call you “anti-immigrant”. If you warn against the dangers of Islamists implementing Sharia law in America, they will call you “Islamophobic”. If you have been called any of these names, you are on the right side of these issues.

The only way to cut through the lies is to continue to tell the truth. When WNBA star, Sophie Cunningham spoke out against males being allowed to play in female sports, she was attacked and called “transphobic” and “hateful”, but when she was asked about her comments on that issue, she simply replied, “I said what I said.” She spoke the truth and did not back down from the truth. She refused to be bullied into telling lies. Seattle Storm owner Celeste Keaton confronted and bullied two young girls who were wearing t-shirts and holding signs supporting Cunningham, calling the two minors, “f-cking insane”. Another example of liars trying to silence the truth.

It’s telling, when Senate Democrats question Republicans like Secretary of State Marco Rubio or Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Capitol Hill, Rubio and Bessent fight hard to answer their questions but the Democrats cut them off and shut them down, only allowing their loaded biased question to be put into the Senate record. Meanwhile, the Republican Senators gave Fauci complete latitude to answer all of their questions, and he refused to speak. The truth always comes out in the end. That’s what was most revealing in Dr. Fauci’s hearings in the Senate yesterday. His silence allowed the truth to be revealed for all to see. His silence exposed his lies. And all those people who were called all those names, who were silenced, de-platformed, cancelled, and fired, have been vindicated, and the liars were exposed. The liars will always try to silence the truth tellers, but the liars will always plead the Fifth when they have to tell the truth.

Christopher Nolan‘s new epic film, The Odyssey, comes out today, and it has received some major backlash from people on the right because of the way Nolan decided to cast the movie. Helen of Troy and Athena are being played by black women – Lupita Nyong’o and Zendaya, the rapper Travis Scott is the narrator of this Greek epic, and 5’ 1” 115 pound, transgender man, Elliot (nee Ellen) Page is playing Sinon, a fierce warrior. It makes no sense. Most of the critics assumed that Nolan has gone woke, and the movie would become something akin to the new iterations of the Star Wars franchise – ‘go woke, go broke’.

For years, white artists have been lectured and screamed at by the woke left about “cultural appropriation”. White musicians are not allowed to cover songs that were originally performed by artists of color. Elvis Presley has been greatly criticized because several of his early recordings are covers of black artists, and there is a strong R&B influence throughout his music. Justin Timberlake was criticized heavily for recording hip-hop songs, even though he performed them much better than many the hip hop artists.

In movies, we’ve been told again and again and again that it is completely wrong for a white actor or actress to portray a character of color. If you happen to like the original movie, West Side Story, you’re a racist because Natalie Wood, a white actress, portrayed a Hispanic character. It didn’t matter how good of an actress she was and how good the movie is, you’re a racist if you like it because the movie is the prime example of cultural appropriation.

The left has been very clear that white people are not allowed to perform any art that is somehow connected to people or cultures of color. And if they do, they are immediately labeled a racist. This is what we’ve been told for the past two decades. You can’t do that. Art must be racially and ethnically pure. They have made their point very clear. Every character that is portrayed in a movie or on a TV show, must be racially authentic to who the character is. Black characters can only be portrayed by black actors. Hispanic characters can only be portrayed by Hispanic actors.

The star of the movie, Matt Damon speaks about how difficult The Odessey shoot was. He said every location and every set in the entire movie was more difficult than any one location or set in any of the other movies he has been in because that is how rigorous Christopher Nolan was with the details. After they digitally edited the movie on a computer, Nolan went back to the original analog IMAX film and had that re-cut exactly the same way it had been cut on the computer, because analog film has “infinite gradations of color” compared to the digital, and he used analog in the distribution of the film because he wanted the viewers to see the more precise color. That is how exacting he is with details, getting it right and being authentic in the film, and yet he made these completely inauthentic casting decisions anyway.

So, why would Christopher Nolan do this. It appears to be an unforced error. Or was it? If you have not noticed, Western culture is under attack. The Odyssey is a foundational piece of Western literature. It is an ancient Greek epic poem that was written by Homer around the 8th century B.C. It set the blueprint for the classic “hero’s journey” that underpins much of Western literature. It remains one of the oldest stories still read today.

The left and the woke are actively trying to eliminate Western civilization and Western culture from our society. That is one of the reasons why they are flooding Western countries with millions of migrants from the Middle East, Africa and Asia. They are using mass migration to erase Western culture. High Schools throughout the United States no longer require the teaching of Western civilization – not only the greatest civilization and culture in human history, but also the culture and civilization that are at our country’s roots. It should be the first subject that is taught, not something that has been phased out and replaced by courses in Middle Eastern or Asian studies. Ivy League colleges and Stanford University have greatly reduced their teaching of Western civilization and have dramatically cut their Classics departments.

The modern left views Western civilization as greatly problematic. They focus solely on its darker historical realities like colonialism, slavery, and systemic inequality, and ignore all the greatness that Western civilization has brought to the world. So, if Christopher Nolan made an epic movie based on one of the most foundational pieces of Western literature and cast the movie entirely with white actors and actresses, he would be immediately cancelled by the left. The left-wing media and movie critics would absolutely destroy the movie regardless of how good it was. There would be boycotts in front of the movie theatres. It would be panned as another movie about a white male protagonist hero.

The very successful Broadway musical, Hamilton, which is about the founding fathers of our country who were 100% white and of European descent, were all portrayed by black performers, and the critics gushed over it. That musical would never have been able to be made with white actors. It could only have been made with black actors. The left hates the founding fathers. They view the founding fathers as patriarchal, racist, slave owners who colonized this land and stole it from the indigenous people, yet, the play about the founding fathers became one of the most successful and critically acclaimed musicals in Broadway history, grossing over $1 billion worldwide, winning 11 Tony Awards, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and a Grammy. And it achieved all that because it only cast black actors. It never would have gotten off the ground if they cast white performers. The backlash from the left would have been too great.

Nolan knew exactly what he was doing. He made these apparently “woke” casting decisions to shut up the critics on the left who hate Western culture and have been indoctrinated to knee-jerk hate this movie. Nolan cast black actresses in white roles and a frail transman as a fierce warrior to throw a bone to the far left to keep them quiet. And it has worked. Most of the critics on the left have been praising the movie that their politics informs them to hate. Nolan put them in a no-win situation. To steal a metaphor from The Odessey, they are caught between Scylla and Charybdis. If they attack the movie then they are the same side as the critics on the right who they hate; but if they praise the movie, then they are praising a classic of Western culture which they hate.

It’s easy to call Christopher Nolan a coward for not standing up to the left, but it’s much safer and easier to draw the ire of people on the right. They simply decide not to go to your movie, and move on. The people on the left, if they don’t like what you’re doing, they assassinate you. Charlie Kirk was teaching about Christianity and the founding principles of the United States, when he took a bullet to the neck from some far-left loon, because of it. Christopher Nolan is making a movie based on a work that is the foundation of Western culture, I wouldn’t put it past a wacko on the left to try to take him out because they thought he is promoting the evil Western civilization.

Ultimately, I don’t know how this movie’s going to do. It could be a complete flop; it could become an all-time classic, despite the miscasting of certain characters. What I do know is that the far-left critics have already written their reviews and they will give it five stars simply because of the way it was cast, and many people on the right won’t go to the movie or they will pan it because of the way it was cast. Ultimately, that’s the problem with so many things these days, especially in the arts. Once you politicize art, you destroy art. And this movie was politicized long before they began shooting. In the end, the left destroys everything it touches because it politicizes everything it touches.

250 years ago, on July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia, severing the political ties of thirteen American colonies from Great Britain. This historic vote established the United States of America as an independent nation. It was truly an experiment. It was the first nation to establish a constitutional federal republic based on principles of popular sovereignty and the consent of the governed.

Even though, the signing of the Declaration of Independence was when our country began, it took another 7 years and 2 months of war with the British army to actually become a truly independent nation. This was no easy task or foregone conclusion. Of the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence, nine were killed in the war; five were captured, tortured, and executed; Twelve had their houses burned to the ground; and seventeen lost everything that they owned.

Approximately 25,000 soldiers laid down their lives fighting in the war for our independence from British rule. 80 years later, 360,000 Union soldiers died in the Civil War liberating the slaves from bondage. 80 years after that, 400,000 American soldiers died liberating Europe and Asia from totalitarian rule. From its beginning, America and Americans have been fight for freedom. But now, another 80 years later, we are back in the fight for our independence. Those brave men and women fought and died for the very freedom and self-determination that the people on the left who are voting for socialism are so willing to give away because they think working five days a week is too hard and someone having more money than them is too unfair.

Sadly, there are too many people who want to go back to the time where the state has authoritarian control over the people. We are electing socialists to public office at alarming rates. Whether these politicians are called socialists, communists, autocrats, oligarchs, kings, monarchs, despots, tyrants, totalitarians, fascists, dictators. They are all the same. They want total dominion over all the people. Zohran Mamdani is no different than King George III. They are driven by the same power-hungry arrogance. These new penny-ante autocrats believe that they know how to run your life better than you do; they know how to spend your money better than you do. Hasn’t this question been answered a thousand times? They don’t. The colonists went to war over a 3 pence tax on a pound of tea, and now we are voting in politicians who are vowing to raise taxes and seize property.

Mamdani is the newly elected socialist mayor of New York City – the financial epi-center of the wealthiest and most prosperous nation that the world has ever seen. The United States is the economic envy of the entire world. And that prosperity was built on 250 years of free-market capitalism, and Mamdani comes in as says, ‘no, I have a better way – socialism.’ Not one person can name one country that was ever improved by adopting socialism or communism – not one. While the United States is the glowing example of the results of free market capitalism. Visitors who came here to watch the World Cup are stunned at how great America is. But no, Mamdani is going to implement socialism because socialism sounds great in an antiseptic lecture hall at Columbia University, but it has never worked in real life – never.

People on the left vote for candidates like Mamdani because they hate America. Somali-Muslim Representative Ilhan Omar believes that America is “becoming one of the worst countries in the world.” Hank Johnson, Democrat congressman from Georgia called the United States, “the world’s number one bully… and the Great Satan.” Democratic socialist congressional candidate Melat Kiros claimed that America had 9/11 coming. Democrat congressman from Pennsylvania, Chris Rabb said, “this is a nation born on stolen land & stolen labor.” Nikole Hannah-Jones, of the New York Times said that “the entire existence of the United States” is a crime.

They believe that it is not right to love America because of the sins of our past. To them I would ask, do you love anyone? There is no person on this planet who is sinless. If we can only love someone who has never committed a sin, then we would love no one, and we ourselves would not be worthy of love. But we love other people, knowing very well that they have committed sins. Likewise, there is not a country that has not committed every single one of the sins that America has committed in its past. Every country has been forged through conquest; every country, every race of people have both enslaved others and have been slaves. Every country and every race has been bigoted and racist, many still are. The United States is the least racist country in the world, but the left believes that we must continually apologize for past racism.

The people of other countries are not forced to make land acknowledgements. The ancestors of the Hispanic people living in Central and South America were Europeans who came from Spain – that’s what Hispanic means – from Hispania, or Spain. They took that land from the indigenous people, yet they never make land acknowledgements. The entire Middle East was stolen from Christians and Jews, and not one Middle Eastern Muslim has ever made a land acknowledgement. Not one.

White people in America have to continually apologize for slavery, but it is the predominantly White countries – the United States, Canada, Europe – that first ended slavery and where slavery no longer exists. There are 25 million people still living in slavery throughout all of Asia; 3.6 million people live in slavery across the Middle East and North Africa; 2 million people are enslaved in South America. How many slaves are there in the United States, Canada, Europe combined? Zero. Zilch. None. But the left demands that only America and only white people must apologize and make reparations for slavery, and no one else – not even the people or countries who are currently holding others as slaves today. They never criticize these other countries. They only focus on the past sins of America and white people because they want to tear down both.

Instead of dwelling on the sins of our past, why don’t we spend more time on the good that we do? United States of America is the greatest imperfect country on the planet, and it is continually working to become a more perfect union.

The book of Proverbs says, “For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity.” (Proverbs 24:16)

The difference between the righteous and the wicked is not that the righteous never sin, it is that when the righteous falls into sin, they get up, repent, and try not to sin again, whereas the wicked when they fall into sin, they stay in the sin. We should not denigrate the United States and the other Western countries for the sins of their past, but glorify them for their willingness to acknowledge their sins, repent and reform. There has never been a country in the history of the world that has had more wealth and military power that has used it more selflessly and shown more restraint in using it for their own self-interests, as the United States of America. The United States gives 175 countries a total of $85 billion every year in foreign aid while we are $39 trillion in debt, but we give it anyway. We have used our military might for the last hundred years to fight for the causes off freedom of other countries throughout the world.

The United States of America is a great country – the greatest country that has ever existed, but it is not a perfect country. It never has been and never will be. You can be great without being perfect. And those Americans who can only see the imperfections of America but cannot see the greatness, do not understand how absolutely spoiled American greatness has made them. We hear so much about privilege these days. The greatest privilege that anyone can have is to be an American, to call the United States your home. And the people who have that privilege but do not appreciate it, do not deserve to be an American. The truest testament to American greatness is the fact that the people who hate America the most refuse to leave American because deep down, they know how great America is.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court dealt Donald Trump, his administration and the United States a huge blow when they upheld the concept of birthright citizenship – ruling that anybody who is born on US soil, even if it’s to an illegal alien, is automatically a US citizen. This ruling stems from the 14th amendment which was designed only to ensure that children of former slaves were citizens. Yet, the Supreme Court expanded the 14^th Amendment to grant citizenship to babies who are born in the United States to mothers who are foreigners and aliens, even though, on May 30, 1866, Senator Jacob Howard, who introduced the 14^th Amendment stated clearly on the Senate floor that, “this will not, of course, include persons born in the United States to foreigners, aliens…” So, they did not care what the original intent of the amendment was. They legislated from the bench.

In response to this ruling, we must deport every person here illegally. If citizenship is important as this decision indicates, then lack of citizenship should be equally important. If you are not a citizen and you are here illegally, you must be deported immediately, no questions asked. If being born in this country means you are a citizen, and being a citizen means you get to stay, then not being born in this country means you’re not a citizen, then you must go. There is no more, he has been here for 20 years, has a job and pays taxes, so he gets amnesty and can stay. No. He is not a citizen, he’s gone. Likewise, when it comes to voting, if you are a citizen, you get to vote. If you’re not a citizen, you don’t get to vote. That’s it.

This also applies to the parents and the siblings of the baby born here. Were they born in this country? No. They’re not citizens. They must go. There’s nothing in the 14th amendment that says the parents or the siblings of the baby born in this country get to be citizens. There is nothing in the 14^th Amendment that says that there is such thing as an anchor baby or chain migration. So, the illegal immigrant mother who has a baby on US soil, has one of two choices, take the baby with her to her country of origin and keep the family together or leave the baby here and we’ll put the baby in an orphanage or allow social services to raise the baby. The mother and the rest of the family does not get to stay.

The 14th amendment doesn’t say, ‘if you’re born in this country, your mother, father, brother, sister, aunt, uncle and grandparents who weren’t born in this country automatically gets citizenship.’ It doesn’t say that. Because what’s even more illogical than birthright citizenship, is anchor babies and chain migration. If the Supreme Court just declared that if where you are born determines citizenship, then if you were not born here, you are not a citizen. Get out. There are at least 30 million people who were not born in the United States, who are not naturalized citizens of the United States, who came into the United States in violation of our immigration laws, every single one of them are not citizens, and every single one of them must be deported.

The people who voted for this absolutely hate America and absolutely hate the citizenry who have made up the United States of America for the last 250 years. They despise that demographic group. And they want to erase that demographic group not only from this country but from the world. This is a generational genocide. The demographic group that built this country, and grew it into the greatest country on the planet, is targeted for erasure by people like those on the Supreme Court who voted for this. There’s no two ways around it.

The great Alexander Hamilton, the guy the leftist were all gaga over a few years ago because of the musical that people of color made of him, once said, “The influx of foreigners must, therefore, tend to change and corrupt the national spirit. To admit foreigners indiscriminately is to invite a Trojan horse into the citadel of our liberty and sovereignty.” We have been admitting foreigners indiscriminately into this country for decades, and with this ruling will continue to do so.

China does not allow this; Muslim countries do not allow this; there is not mass migration into China or the Middle East. They don’t worry about diversity. You can say that makes us better and more moral. Maybe. But when China or the Muslims take over this country, diversity will end. Just like it doesn’t exist in their countries, it will no longer exist in this country when they are running the show. So, allowing this absurdity in the name of diversity in America, will end diversity in America.

But this is not about diversity, it is about erasing the white race from this country and this planet. That is what they always mean by diversity – eliminate the white race. And when the white race is eliminated, the world will be a much worse place. How do I know? Where are all the best countries in the world? Europe and North America – the predominantly white countries. Don’t take my word for it, ask the refugees. When there are refugees from any country, where do they go? Europe, the United States or Canada. Refugees don’t go to the Middle East, they don’t go to Africa, they don’t go to China. They come to the predominantly white countries because the predominantly white countries are the best. And when there are no more white people, the world will be filled with dysfunctional countries or totalitarian countries, or both.

The left loves to tell us that black people built the United States, or Muslims are an integral part of the United States, or Central and South American immigrants are vital to the American economy. If all the illegal immigrants and refugees who are coming into this country are going to be so beneficial to this country, and they’re going to add so much to this country, the question is why aren’t they adding all that great value and benefit to their country of origin? Why haven’t they built their country of origin into anything worthwhile? Why are the countries of color so dysfunctional that people of color must come to white countries? Haiti is a hellhole. When Donald Trump said that, everybody on the left called him a racist. But now, when Trump is sending Haitian immigrants back to Haiti, the same people who called Trump a racist for saying that Haiti is a hell hole are claiming that Trump is punishing Haitians by sending them back to the great country of Haiti. Haiti is a hellhole country, but the United States does not benefit from bringing in dysfunctional people from a dysfunctional country.

This ruling is a threat to our country on multiple levels because ultimately, it comes down to loyalty to this country. Do we really want to grant citizenship to people whose loyalty are with another country? Democrat Congresswoman, Delia Ramirez who is an “anchor baby” has stated very clearly, “I am a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” That is what birthright citizenship produces. United States politicians who have more loyalty to another country over the United States.

One million Chinese communists will soon be voters because of birthright citizenship. The Chinese government pays surrogates to birth their babies in the United States, take them back to China where they are indoctrinated into Chinese communism, and when they are 18 years old, they return to the United States and vote for the most radical leftists. 1 million Chinese communists voting in our elections will determine Governor races, Senatorial races and the Presidency. So, President Xi of China will now have more power to determine who our President is, and therefore what our foreign and domestic policies are, than the average American taxpayer.

But the biggest problem we’re facing as a country is not necessarily birthright citizenship, or a liberal immigration policy, or the massive influx of refugees from Third World countries, it’s not even open borders and illegal immigration, the problem is our welfare state. If we would eliminate our welfare state, most of these problems that were arguing about would go away.

These people who come here illegally, or come as refugees, or are born here to illegal immigrant parents, immediately go on the public dole. They get welfare; they get housing subsidies; they get SNAP; they get a free education; they get free healthcare. 81% of Somalis who are living in Minnesota are on public assistance. They could not survive in this country if they weren’t being subsidized by the government to stay here. That’s the issue. Many of these problems would go away if we did away with the welfare state. If all of these people who have come to the United States in the last 20 years were ineligible for welfare and public assistance, the overwhelming majority would go back to their home countries. They’re not smart enough, talented enough, skilled enough, hard-working enough to survive in the US economy. Most of them can only stay here with massive government assistance. Why is Mamdani freezing rent in New York City? 40% of New Yorkers were not born in the United States. These new immigrants don’t have the ability to earn the money necessary to live in New York, so we must blow up the real estate market in New York City to accommodate them.

We wonder why we are $39 trillion in debt as a country. It is driven by two things, fraud and the welfare state, and most of the fraud is being run through the welfare state as we saw in Minnesota. And who picks up the tab for the $39 trillion of debt and all of the welfare state expenditures? The United States citizens who have been here and whose families have been here for generations. They’re the ones who are paying for the newcomers to stay here because they’re the ones with jobs, they’re the ones who are paying taxes, they’re the ones who have never been on public assistance. They’re footing the bill.

Back in the 1970s, Milton Friedman the great economist once said, “It’s just obvious you can’t have free immigration and a welfare state.” But that is exactly what we are doing. The primary objection to all of these laissez-faire immigration policies, is that these people come here and they start draining the system. They don’t add to the system. The statistics are clear, immigrants from Third World countries have a negative impact on the United States. Immigrants from first world countries are a positive addition to the United States. The reason why the European immigration from the late 19^th century and early 20^th century was so successful was because there was no welfare state. You came here and you had to work and earn your way to survive. That is why those immigrants have been so successful and why their progeny continue to be, and our current massive welfare state is the reason why so many current immigrants and their offspring have been a negative drain on the country. The United States is the only country in the world with birthright citizenship, no voter ID and a massive welfare state. And that is the perfect storm which will absolutely destroy this once great country.

Sometimes sports imitates real life, and sometimes real life imitates sports, but when it comes to Caitlin Clark and current world events, the two seem to be identical twins. What’s happening to Caitlin Clark in the WNBA is what’s happening to Western Society. In the same month in which we have seen the WNBA’s most popular player, be assaulted on a nightly basis, in front of our eyes, and the officials doing absolutely nothing to stop it, a report was dropped in the United Kingdom, which states that 250,000 young white Christian girls have been brutally raped by Middle Eastern Muslims, right before our eyes, and no one has done anything to stop it.

I am not claiming that the abuse that Caitlin Clark is experiencing on the basketball court is on the same level as the abuse that those young women have experienced in Great Britain, but it stems from the same hatred. In Great Britain, Middle Eastern Muslims are targeting white Christian girls for rape and abuse, because they are white Christian girls, and in the WNBA Caitlin Clark is being targeted for abuse because she is a straight white Christian woman. And nothing is being done to stop the abuse because the perpetrators are people of color and it would appear racist if the perpetrators of color were held accountable, so we must go on pretending that the abuse is not happening.

I thought we had come to a point in human societal evolution, where we know that it is wrong to hate someone based on their color, to hate someone based on their religion, to hate somebody based on their sexual orientation, but in the WNBA, as in Great Britain, those prohibitions have been put on hold, and now, in those venues, not only is it okay but it’s preferred to hate someone because they’re white, because they’re straight, because they’re Christian. Those are the people who are being targeted, and no one seems to care to stop it. The most ironic part of both situations is that the people who are doing the abusing are benefiting from the people they are abusing.

The rising popularity of the WNBA, the escalating value of the franchises, the dramatic increase in salaries, can all be attributed to the woman who the rest of the league hates, and abuses. All three increases in those metrics can be directly attributed to Caitlin Clark coming into the WNBA. Everybody associated with the WNBA has more money in their bank accounts because Caitlin Clark is playing in the league, and how do these people thank her? They target her for abuse. They call her names. They mock her. They body check her. They slam her to the ground. They poke her in her eyes. They commit intentional flagrant fouls that are not called. There’s been no thank you to Caitlyn Clark. There’s been no gratitude. All there has been is abuse.

Likewise, when you go to Europe, the lives of the Middle Eastern migrants who have come there have been infinitely improved simply by living in a European country. They’ve been pulled out of the hell hole that they were living in, and are allowed to live in some of the greatest countries to ever exist, some of the most modern and prosperous countries in the world. Most of that migration has been facilitated by white Christian liberal women who voted for the leftist politicians who brought this mass migration to their countries. And how do these Middle Eastern immigrants, whose lives have been infinitely improved by living in Europe thank the people who voted in the politicians who brought them there? They target them for abuse. There’s no thank you to European Christian women. There’s no gratitude to European Christian women. All there has been is abuse. They rape them. They beat them. They sex-traffic them. They mock and abuse them.

What the WNBA is going to learn is when Caitlin Clark goes away, when she’s forced into an early retirement because her body has been beaten up so badly that she can no longer play, people are going to stop watching; people are going to lose interest. And their league is going to turn into the hell hole that it had been for the 27 years before Caitlin Clark step foot in one of their arenas. The money is going to dry up. And then they’re going to have to go back on their hands and knees begging for more subsidies from the NBA just to stay afloat. Those WNBA players could not build the league to what it is without Caitlin Clark because no one wants to tune into a league with that type of culture. The most telling part is that their hatred and jealousy of straight white Christian women is so profound that they will not care that they lost so much money because their league went back to being unwatchable without her.

And the Middle Eastern migrants are going to learn when they get rid of all of the white people in the West, and turn Western countries into Middle Eastern countries, they’re suddenly going to be living in the hell holes from which they fled. The Middle Eastern migrants could not build their Middle Eastern countries into thriving prosperous nations on their own, so they will not be able to maintain the thriving, prosperous stable countries that they took over in the West. It is not the land that makes a country great; it is not the natural resources that make a country prosperous; it is the people and the culture which determines the success and failure of a country. Great countries are not built on rape culture. They are not built on jihad and universal hatred of every other religion. Muslims and Muslim culture will do to Western countries what they have done to fifty-five Middle Eastern and North African countries they invaded and conquered – destroy them, make them unlivable. But their hatred for White European Christians is so great, that they will not care that they are back to living in a hell hole country. The problem is that there will be no where else to go when the West is destroyed.

Caitlin Clark reminds me of Israel. The Muslims control 99% of the Middle East, and Israel has less than 1%, and the Muslims will not even let Israel have their small sliver of the Middle East, and they will destroy the Middle East in the process of destroying Israel, and they do not care. Caitlin Clark and the other white straight Christian women have a very small sliver of the WNBA, and the non-white, non-straight, part of the WNBA refuses to allow them to have their little piece, and they will destroy the WNBA in the process of destroying Caitlin Clark and the few other women like her, and they do not care.

Texas Democratic Senatorial candidate James Talarico admitted in a recent podcast that “I always think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity.” You couldn’t find a better statement that sums up where the left in our country is than that. How can you call yourself a Christian and hate Christianity? He only wants the good about Christianity, but he doesn’t want what’s hard about Christianity, he doesn’t want what’s unpopular to popular culture. He wants to pick and choose which aspects of Christianity he approves, and which ones he doesn’t, which means he’s not a Christian. He wants to create God in his own image as opposed the other way around. He is elevating himself above all other Christians and above Christianity itself. He has the unmitigated arrogance to take it upon himself to correct Jesus, believing that he knows better than the bible, he knows better than two thousand years of Church doctrine.

Talarico said earlier this year in a New Yorker profile that Christianity is the “most violent” religion and has done “more damage” to Islam than it has done to any other religion. How brainwashed or braindead do you have to be to make a statement like that? We all know which religion is the most violent by far, and it is not Christianity. We have witnessed it with our own two eyes. Muslims have committed over 90% of all terrorist attacks in the last 50 years, but people like Talarico will ignore the evidence so he can continue to trash his own religion. He has said he had met Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jews, Muslims, atheists, and agnostics who were “more Christ-like” than some Christians he serves with in the Texas legislature which basically means that if you do not agree with him politically, then you are not Christ-like because he is the most Christ-like.

This type of self-loathing arrogance is not exclusive to Christianity. It’s prevalent throughout the American left right now. Democrats are Americans who hate America. In a 2001 Gallup Poll – 90% of Republicans and 85% of Democrats said they were proud to be Americans. In a 2026 poll, 90% of Republicans continue to be proud to be Americans while only 29% of Democrats are still proud to be Americans. The United States of America is arguably the greatest country that’s ever existed, and we have young people on the left who have inherited the ultimate privilege to have been born in this country, but have the audacity to criticize our system of government because it doesn’t always serve them exactly the way they want to be served. Those are the people who voted Zohran Mamdani into office. The spoiled, self-righteous, entitled people on the left.

Mamdani wants to bring communism to this country and he wants to Islamize it. Every Islamic country in the world is a hell hole, every Communist country has ended in a complete failure, but a 34-year-old Islamic communist knows better than the people who created the freest, the most prosperous country on the planet, one that protects human rights the best, that has moved every metric of human civilization forward dramatically more than any other country that ever exist existed. Mamdani, like most of those on the left, wants to dismantle that America.

The Democrats in New York’s 13 District, just nominated Daraliza Avila Chevalier for Congress. On October 8^th, 2023, she shouted, “Who is the terrorist? The United States of America! We feel the Palestinian blood. We feel the Palestinian blood. And we stand in solidarity with Palestine. We have the historic responsibility of defeating Israel colonialism and U.S. imperialism!” She is a member of CUAD – Columbia University Apartheid Divest, an organization that has as it goal a “the total collapse of the university structure and American empire itself” and aims “to undermine and eradicate America as we know it” by extending “Palestinian resistance” into “unrest and violence in America.” This is who the America left wants to represent them.

A DC District judge, Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, who is a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago, recently overruled the President of the United States Executive Order which would have prevented illegal immigrants from voting in American elections. So, a judge who is a citizen of another country has just overruled our President to allow citizens from other countries to decide elections in our country. That makes sense. No other country does this, and the same people who are advocating for this in America would be apoplectic if American citizens tried to vote and determine the results of other countries’ elections. This is all about hatred of America.

The results of illegal immigrants voting in American elections are predictable. They will turn America into the hell-holes from which the illegal immigrants came, not because that is right or just or beneficial, but because they are jealous. Americans spent 250 years creating a great, prosperous, free country, and these other people failed to do so in their own countries, so their solution is not to follow America’s lead and make their country great using America’s founding principles, its constitution and economic system, rather, they want to tear America down to their hell-hole country level. It is the same jealous, spiteful mentality of the communists. They are not smart enough or talented enough or hard working enough to become rich, so instead of improving themselves to better their lives, they want to tear down people like Elon Musk who is everything they are not, because he has achieved what they are not capable of achieving.

They have decided that they are going to dismantle the greatest system of government that has ever existed, and replace with an ideology that has failed every country where it has ever been tried, that is made every country poorer, more dictatorial, less free, more dangerous, more crime ridden. Why don’t the socialist go and live in socialist countries? Why don’t Islamists go and live in Islamic countries? They want all the good things that come from capitalists countries while being a socialist. To paraphrase Margaret Thatcher, their socialism works until they run out of the capitalists’ money. Likewise, the Islamists want all the good things from living in a Christian country while planning on Islamizing that Christian country.

We have Christians who hates Christianity. We have Americans who hate America. We have Westerners who hate the West. Muslims don’t hate Islam. The immigrants that come here from other countries don’t hate the countries that they just fled. Immigrants from failed desolate countries wave the flags of their home countries in America with more vigor and pride than Americans wave the American flag, yet both have chosen to live in America as opposed to the failing country from which the immigrants fled.

I was watching the World Cup game between Mexico and Czechia, when they were playing their respective national anthems before the game, all the athletes were standing arm-in-arm and singing their national anthem at the top of their lungs. Why is it only the athletes who represent the United States of America who refused to respect their country’s flag, who refuse to sing their national anthem? We had United States athletes during this past years’ winter Olympics telling reporters that they were embarrassed of America because they disagreed with some of the policies of the current administration. Mexico is a corrupt narco state with unfathomable crime levels, and the Mexican athletes do not feel the need to apologize for their home country.

The ironic thing is that there are citizens from other countries who have come to America to cheer on their countries team in the World Cup, who cannot believe how good we have it here in America, while too many Americans want to continually tear America down.

Oliver Henry, a World Cup fan from England, said in a recent TikTok post, “We owe America a huge apology, because America is nothing like the media tells us. Everyone is so friendly, everyone is so accommodating, and I’ve honestly had the best time.”

Josh — a British man who is living in the U.S. — echoed these sentiments. “America, you deserve and are owed an apology. And I’m going to say sorry on behalf of all the countries outside America and their media, and the narrative they paint about America. Hundreds of thousands of fans for the World Cup are now seeing America through their own eyes, realizing the narrative they’ve been fed is false. And they’re now realizing America is not the place that they thought it was. America is rich in culture, scenery, the people are amazing. And the media in the countries outside of America paint this weird narrative that it’s a place that you shouldn’t go, but now, the tides are changing.”

The only thing bad about America is the self-loathing Americans who are so spoiled living here that they hate America and want to change it. We have to start looking at America through new eyes, stop taking it for granted. Deep down, we all know how great America is. We don’t leave. We don’t long to go live in other countries the way citizens of other countries long to come to America, and have for hundreds of years. Any American citizen who does not appreciate what America is, is spoiled and entitled, and does not deserve to live in this great country.

British Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe, the leader of Restore Britain Party, has released an independent rape gang report which states that at least 250,000 young girls have been subjected to rape, gang rape, sex trafficking, torture, forced pregnancy, forced abortions, forced Islamic conversion in the UK. 95% of the perpetrators were Pakistani Muslim gang members. The victims were targeted based on race and religion. The young girls were often called “white trash” and “pig dogs”. The Muslim gangs used glass bottles and baseball bats in the acts of raping these girls. Girls were branded with an “M” for Muhammad. They were forced to have makeshift abortions using knitting needles.

The demographic that these gangs targeted were white working-class girls, and most of those Pakistanis who were committing these rapes were on social services, so the British working-class families were paying the taxes to support the gang members to live in their country so they could rape their daughters. The police, social services, the NHS, schools and courts have turned a blind eye to what’s going on because they’re more concerned with not appearing to be racist than they are about protecting young girls from being brutalized and raped.

A father in the UK discovered that his daughter had been kidnapped and was being abused by a Pakistani grooming gang. He went to the residence where she was being held to save his daughter, but instead of helping him rescue his daughter from the grooming gang, the British police came to the residence, and arrested the father.

A few short years ago during the #metoo movement, the left was screaming “silence is violence”. They are not screaming anymore because the silence of the people in charge in the UK is allowing this type violence to be inflicted on these young girls. The best way to silence people these days, is to call them racists because we have come to a point where being called a racist has become the evilest crime, eviler than rape, eviler than murder. If you point out that over 90% of the rapes that occur in the UK are perpetrated by Muslims, that is considered a worse crime than actually raping a child. That is how Henry Nowak died. The police were more concerned about arresting Mr. Nowak for allegedly saying a racial slur, than they were for treating the stab wounds he received from an immigrant making the false allegation.

The British Parliament just voted 111 to 364, against investigating these Pakistani rape gangs in light of the report and evidence. Think about that. A report comes out that 250,000 British young girls have been raped by Pakistani and Muslim grooming gangs, and British Parliament just voted not to investigate these Muslim gangs, not to look into it at all, completely ignore it, essentially stating that it is okay for Muslim gangs to target and rape young white British girls. Talk about the sheep willingly going off to slaughter. 50 years from now when the Muslims are chopping off the heads of British people, the same parliament will vote not to investigate those crimes, and England will become a Muslim majority country. And all of the great British history will be destroyed.

When questioned on whether his administration will act on the grooming gangs terrorizing the UK. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer responded, “forgive me if I do not take suggestions from the honorable member who said, ‘people legally and settled here, should go home to ensure that the UK is culturally coherent.’ That is a grotesque way to talk about our friends and neighbors.” To him and the people on the left, it is far worse to talk call your neighbor a rapist than it is for your neighbor to rape young girls.

Make no mistake Mr. Starmer. The UK will have a coherent culture; the question is which culture will that be? Will it be the culture that has existed in the UK for over 1000 years, rich in literature, the arts, and science, or will be the culture of rape and violence that the Third World Muslim immigrants you are importing into your country en mass? When the Muslims become the majority, British culture will be destroyed; Christianity will be outlawed; every religion except for Islam will be outlawed. And once they do that, they will start systematically slaughtering the British people because that’s what Muslims do, that’s what Muslims have done to 55 other countries around the world for the last 1,400 years. Every country in which Islam dominates, was taken over either by bloody conquest, or by infiltrating the country, becoming the majority, and eliminating every other group of people through violence. Non-Muslims do not live in peace in Muslim majority countries. That does not exist. Muslims live in peace in non-Muslim majority countries all over the world. In fact, the Muslims are the ones that are usually disrupting the peace the most.

If there is a perception that third world Muslim immigrants are coming to European countries and raping young girls at disturbingly high rates, it is because third world Muslim immigrants are coming to European countries and raping young girls at disturbingly high rates. Pointing out a reality is not racism. In fact, if you do not point out that young girls are being raped because the rapist is of a certain ethnicity or a certain religion, that is racist.

They said that one of the most disturbing parts about the pedophile scandal in the Catholic Church was that the leaders of the Church knew it was going on and they let it continue anyway. The same can be said for the #metoo scandal that plagued Hollywood. The powerful people in the know in Tinsel Town knew what was going on and did nothing to stop it. Everyone is obsessed with the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. This report is 100 times worse than anything that Jeffrey Epstein has ever been accused of, anything that happened during the #metoo movement, anything that went on in the Catholic Church. 100 times worse.

This rape culture is part of the Islamic plan to conquer and subjugate other countries. Their medieval minds believe that raping young women in another country is an act of conquering. London elects a Muslim mayor, Sadiq Khan, and ten years later there are Muslim no go zones and Muslim rape gangs all over London that no one in power is doing anything about. Khan, like Obama and Mamdani are Muslims plants designed to help orchestrate the Islamization of a country. And just like communism, wherever Muslims take over, the country becomes infinitely worse and more violent.

It is fair to conclude that the left does not care about the things they claim to care about. There was so much outrage about the sexual abuse that came to light with the #metoo movement, and the scandal in the Catholic Church, and Jeffrey Epstein, but no outrage from the left about 250,000 young British girls being raped by Muslim immigrants in the UK, and the government and police covering it up. ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and MSNOW have devoted a grand total of 0 seconds to this horrific story. Imagine if gangs of white Christians were running around non-White, Muslims countries raping 250,000 young Muslim girls. Those same networks would not have to come up with a lead story for a year. That would be all we would hear about 24/7. We have heard zero outrage from the people who normally stand up to protect women from this type of abuse. #metoo wasn’t about protecting women, it was about destroying powerful white men. Jeffrey Epstein scandal is not about exposing those who raped young girls, it is a political football used to go after American politicians. The sex scandal in the Catholic Church was about attacking the Church and Christianity. None of it was about protecting vulnerable people from abuse.

The reason why they turn a blind eye to the Muslims raping women at astronomical rates in European countries is because that is what the Muslim culture is, that is what they are taught to do from their holy book. If you want to know why the countries that these people come from are third world countries, mired in poverty, you do not have to look any further than their culture. If you live in a country where raping young girls is acceptable, you will always remain a third world country. Look at the Somalis, their culture is one of corruption and theft. Over 50% of the piracy is committed by Somali pirates. And that is the reason why they are third world countries. If you want your country to become a third world country, import third world immigrants with a third world culture. Look what has happened to Minnesota.

Prosecuting Pakistani rape gangs for gang raping young girls is not racist, it is not culturalist, it is judging people based on their actions of breaking the law in the most horrific way possible. Not prosecuting someone because of their race is just as bad as prosecuting someone because of their race. They are both equally racist. So, in their attempt to not appear racist, the politicians and the police in the UK are acting racist. And the problem is, they’re too dumb to realize how racist they’re actually being.

The most revealing part of the Pakistani Muslim culture is that we don’t hear Pakistani people and Muslim people standing up and denouncing what has been happening in the UK, and rebuking their fellow Muslims and Pakistanis for disgracing their race and their religion because they do not see raping young white Christian girls as a disgrace. That is part of their culture. They believe that that is their right to rape Young non-Muslims. That is the most disturbing part of this whole thing. That these people actually feel like they are entitled to commit some of the most horrific acts imaginable against a very vulnerable segment of society.

They should deport every single one of them. Everyone in those communities either participated in it, enabled it or turned a blind eye to it. Everyone in those communities are guilty. Everyone. The so-called “peaceful Muslims” are the sheep clothing that the violent Muslims, the terrorists, the rape gangs hide behind.

The New York Knicks led by NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, defeated the San Antonio Spurs in 5 games to win the NBA Championship on Saturday. It was the Knicks first championship in 53 years and the city of New York’s first championship since the Giants won the Super Bowl in 2011. Everyone related to New York City in some way, has reveled in this victory. Spike Lee, Donald Trump, Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, Taylor Swift, Timothee Chalamet have shown themselves to be avid Knicks fans. The new socialist mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, has attempted to ride the wave of the Knick’s historic victory to bolster his political standing in the city. Some of Mamdani’s supporters tried to give him credit for the Knicks victory. “This is your city on socialism,” the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America wrote on X. “Welcome to Mamdanistan,” wrote City Councilwoman Shahana Hanif. “This never would have happened if Cuomo was mayor,” wrote Zara Rahim, the mayor’s campaign adviser.

Thos statements are comical because Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks represent the complete opposite of the values that inform Zohran Mamdani’s politics. Brunson was an undersized underdog overachiever coming out of college. They said he was too small, too slow, not athletic enough. He was a second-round draft pick, passed over by every NBA team. The Dallas Mavericks gave up on him. But he has used elite work ethic and elite competitiveness to raise himself above his physical limitations to become one of the best basketball players in the NBA – an NBA champion and a Finals MVP. He took it upon himself to overcome everything that worked against him in order to achieve his dreams. He didn’t expect that someone else would do it for him. He didn’t wait around for other people to do the hard work that he needed to do. The rest of the Knicks team followed Brunson’s lead. They were the first team in NBA history to be down by double digits in every game, and still win the series. There was no quit in that team. They never gave up even when the scoreboard told them to.

The NBA and all of professional sports, are the truest form of meritocracy. You either produce or you don’t. Your shots either go in or they don’t. There is no welfare in the NBA. There is no redistribution of wealth or success in the NBA. A player’s success is dependent on the player’s God-given ability plus their work ethic plus their competitiveness plus their personal grit. In game 4 of the final series, the Knicks were down by 29 points in the third quarter and came all the way back to win the game in the last seconds by 1 point. In that game, at his team’s lowest point, Jalen Brunson never blinked. He didn’t look for someone to blame; he didn’t point fingers at his teammates or the refs or some conspiracy theory as to why they were losing by so much. He merely played and played with a steely eyed focus. He could have quit. He could have allowed the game to be a blowout loss, and saved his energy for game 5. But that is not how he is built. He competed at the highest level even in the most dire circumstances because that’s is what greatest does. There is no entitlement. He does not expect success to be handed to him; he went out and earned it. He competed at the highest level regardless of the circumstances. He was at his best when things were the worst.

Imagine if everyone who lives in New York City or anywhere, took the same approach to their life that Brunson takes to his basketball career. Don’t expect anyone to give anything to you. Work at the highest level regardless of the circumstances, regardless of the expected outcome. Earn everything. Compete for everything. Work harder than everyone else. Stop complaining. Stop pointing fingers. Stop blaming others for your failures. Place 100% accountability on yourself. Do you think there would be a need for welfare? Do you think there would be a need for redistribution of wealth? Do you think we would have the poverty problem, the crime problem, the homeless problem that are suffocating cities like New York and the rest of the country? Imagine if everyone approached their lives like Jalen Brunson approaches his career. He does not look like LeBron James. He is not 6’ 8”, 250 pounds with a 44-inch vertical leap. Brunson is below average physically for the NBA. He was not destined for NBA greatness, but he is here, not because of what he was given, but because of what he earned. He never said it was unfair that others were given more ability than he was given. He never wallowed in self-pity or self-righteous envy. He just went to work.

Mamdani preaches the exact opposite of what we witnessed in the NBA finals this year. He is a socialist who has written extensively against the concept of meritocracy, believing that it only serves to mask underlying systemic inequities and justifies unequal power dynamics. Winston Churchill once said, “Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” Everything that Mamdani preaches strips the inherent Jalen Brunson out of people. His socialist message tells people not to take accountability and responsibility in your life, nothing is earned, wealth is stolen, success is pre-determined, blame others for your failures, look to the government for the things that you should do for yourself. If you make a mistake or fail, it is someone else’s fault. If the New York Knicks were run on socialists values, they would have finished in last place, and if Jalen Brunson embraced those same values in his life, he would be wallowing on welfare. Socialism gives people an excuse to fail, an excuse not to live up to their abilities. To Jalen Brunson and the Knicks, failure was never an option, even when they were down by 29 points, and that’s is why they were victorious.

Jalen Brunson showed the world how to approach life. There is only one way to play, the right way. Play hard, compete, do the right things. Don’t let your circumstances dictate your effort and your actions. All he has done his entire career, and all the Knicks did the entire series was overcome near impossible circumstances to come out victorious. New York City and the rest of the United States should be embracing the message of success from Jalen Brunson and the Knicks, and not the messages of failure from people like Mamdani.

Yesterday, convicted murderer Karmelo Anthony broke down in tears when his guilty verdict was read, and he was taken into police custody. Another life lost. I am not claiming that he is not guilty, and I’m also not claiming that he should receive a lighter sentence, I’m nearly pointing out that this is another young life lost. He’ll spend the next 35 years in prison. We can pass it off as just another thug who’s getting what he deserves, but I think that may be the wrong thinking. This is a troubled teen who became influenced by the worst elements of our culture. Over the last 40 years, there has been a steady vilification of white people in our society and our media. The white race, white males, straight white people have been systematically maligned and denigrated by segments of our society. If you go onto certain left-wing media outlets, or if you’ve delved into the bowels of the dark web, you’ll come away thinking that all white people are evil, and that all white people deserve to die.

Karmelo Anthony is a victim of this culture of hate, the same way that Luigi Mangione is a victim of that culture, the same way that Thomas Crooks was a victim, and Tyler Robinson. Anthony, Mangione, Crooks, Robinson are all pawns in this game of hate that’s being played on our society. They had been indoctrinated to hate certain people. Donald Trump has been called a Nazi and the next Adolf Hitler almost on a daily basis for the last ten years, and there have been three assassination attempts on his life. Health insurance CEOs have been made out to be evil capitalists who don’t care if people live or die, that’s why Brian Thompson was shot and killed in cold blood. Charlie Kirk – one of the godliest people I have ever seen – was portrayed as a hateful white supremacist, misogynist, and that’s why Tyler Robison is facing life imprisonment for his murder. Luigi Mangione and Tyler Robinson are being hailed as cult heroes as they sit in the prison cells for murder. That’s is how depraved the people on the left are.

White people are continually painted as evil by the left. Terms, such as white privilege, white supremacy, white colonialism, white slave owners, have been tossed around so easily with zero regard for their impact. We are told that all white people are irredeemably racist. White people are pressured into making land acknowledgments because “we” viciously stole the land from the peace-loving Native Americans. We have to continually apologize for our whiteness. College dorms and certain spaces on campuses are segregated to keep white people out. They’re flooding predominantly white countries with Third World people of color in an attempt to eventually eliminate the white race altogether, and all of this is portrayed as a good. This is what’s happening in our country and around the world. And that is what young adults like Karmelo Anthony are seeing and hearing on the daily basis, and taking actions into their own hands.

If you’re a black teen in America, who only watches left-wing media, it is not surprising if you end up hating all white people and thinking that all white people are evil and deserve to die because that’s what they have been told 24 hours a day, seven days a week by the people on the left. At least once a week, there is a new video on social media of a person of color walking up to a white person on the street and randomly assaulting them for no reason, like it is their right to do it. Iryna Zarutska is dead because Decarlos Brown wanted to kill a “white girl”. Why did he want to kill a white girl? Maybe because all he saw his whole life was white equals evil.

We’re not allowed to see depictions of a good white person. They took classic literature like, To Kill a Mockingbird, off the shelves of public schools because it was infected with “white savior syndrome”. We are not allowed to see a portrayal of an honest white man who actually does good for a black man. That’s not allowed. That is somehow racist. When To Kill a Mockingbird was performed on Broadway, they changed the character of Atticus Finch – one of the great characters in American literature – into a stereotypical southern white racist because that’s the only way white people are allowed be depicted – as evil racists.

Karmelo Anthony went to the track meet that day carrying a deadly weapon and looking to provoke a white kid so he could stab and kill him because he’s been told from the time, he was born that all white people are evil. So, when he saw Austin Metcalf, he didn’t see a fellow high school student like himself, he saw evil. He saw evil incarnate. That’s why he provoked Metcalf, and that’s why he killed him. When Karmelo Anthony was being transported to prison last night, he most likely did not even know what he did wrong. He probably drove by protesters holding up signs that said “justice for Karmelo”, like he is the victim of white supremacy.

We continue to vilify our fellow man; we continue to teach our children to hate, but is Karmelo Anthony‘s life any better that he was taught to hate white people? Did the way that hatred manifest itself improve his life? Of course not. He’s going to spend the next 35 years in a jail cell. And the purveyors of anti-white hate do not care what happens to Anthony, they are just glad that another white kid was killed.

Thomas Crooks is dead because he listened to the hate; Luigi Mangione and Tyler Robinson will spend the majority of their lives in prison because they listened to the hate. Renee Goode and Alex Pretti are dead because they listened to the hate. Their lives are not better. They are infinitely worse. The people on the left do not care about these people. They were their minions, their pawns. Over 30 people were killed in the BLM riots of 2020 that were fomented by the lies and demagoguery of the left. We don’t even know their names because no one cares.

It is easy to fall into the trap of hate these days with the proliferation of social media. Hate is the most powerfully destructive emotions we have. That is why Jesus said, “love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who persecute you.” We must reject the hate inside of us because going down the rabbit hole of hate will only lead to our own demise.

There’s been a dust up on the New York Giants between two first round draft picks for the team from 2025, quarterback Jaxson Dart and linebacker Abdul Carter. Abdul Carter objected to the fact that Jackson Dart introduced the President of the United States, Donald Trump, and an event last week. Carter initially tweeted, “thought this sh!t was AI, what we doing man?” His tweet was suggesting that there was something inherently wrong with one of his teammates choosing to introduce the President of the United States. When Carter further explained himself, he made it clear that he believes that Jaxson Dart has aligned himself with hate.

In a press conference days later, Carter explained his tweet by saying, “First, I want to say that some things are bigger than football, and this is one of those things. Jaxson is one of our leaders, he is the face of our franchise. He not only represents himself in what he does, but he represents all of us, and that goes for anybody who wears a Giant uniform. But… if he chooses to align himself with a man like President Trump, it is my responsibility based on what I believe and what I stand on, to not only show my teammates that I am against that, but to show the world, that doesn’t mean that… we have to spread hate.” Abdul Carter is trying to present himself as someone who stands up against hate, bigotry, divisiveness.

Abdul Carter is a Muslim. Islam is the most hateful and violent religion on the face of the Earth and it has been ever since its founding 1400 years ago. The record of history is crystal clear. Islam is a religion of violence, and Islam is a religion of hate. 123 times in the Quran, the followers of Islam are commanded to kill, to rape, to conquer, and to enslave non-Muslims. It’s unequivocal what Muslims are expected to do to non-Muslims. Islam does not teach peaceful coexistence with people who have different opinions and beliefs than they do. They believe in violent conquest over those people. And that has played itself out over the last 1400 years.

Every single country in the Middle East that is now majority Muslim, at one point was Byzantine Christianity or Jewish lands, that was conquered by the sword, by violent bloodshed, by force conversion by Muslims. Over the last 40 years, 99% of the terrorist attacks that have been committed have been committed by Muslims in the name of Islam. Every other religion combined account for less than 1% of the terrorist attacks. There is nothing about the Islamic faith that is peaceful, that believes in coexistence. And that is the religion that Abdul Carter aligns himself with at the same time condemning Jackson Dart because he happened to introduce the President of United States who he believes represents hate and bigotry.

Whether you believe Donald Trump is hateful or a racist or a bigot, is irrelevant to this issue because Abdul Carter has no grounds to stand on to call out hate because he is aligned with the most hateful, violent and bigoted religion on the face of the Earth. He cannot align himself with Islam and then call out someone else for being hateful or bigoted. Anyone who tries to tell you that Islam is the religion of peace and coexistence, is gaslighting you. Abdul Carter’s entire world and world view is made of glass and he is firing stones at everybody else. He would do better to just shut up.

Just so we clear, Mohammed, who is the founder of the religion Abdul Carter follows, was a warlord who murdered thousands of people, he owned hundreds of slaves, he married a six-year-old and consummated the wedding when she was nine. But Donald Trump is the bad guy. Worship Mohammad but Donald Trump’s the bad guy. You may rightfully think that Donald Trump is a bad guy, but if Trump is your criteria of what bad is, Mohammed would still be 100 times worse than if all of the worst false accusations against Donald Trump were true. And the religion that Mohammed spawned has a 1400-year history of violence, hatred, bigotry and death.

Christians believe in coexistence. Jews believe in coexistence. Hindus believe in coexistence. Buddhists believe in coexistence. Atheists believe in coexistence. There’s only one religion that doesn’t believe in coexistence, and it’s the Muslim religion. That’s the facts. Are the Christians at war with the Jews? No. Are the Jews a war with the Hindus? No. Are the Christians at war with the Buddhist? No. But the Christians are at war with the Muslims; the Jews are at war with the Muslims; the Buddhists are at war with the Muslims. Every religion around the world wants to coexist, but they all are at war. They’re all at war with the Muslims because the Muslims are at war with all of them because the Muslims have been commanded in their holy books to make war with non-Muslims, to kill non-Muslims, to commit acts of violence, acts of rape and enslave non-Muslims. That’s why when you look around the world the Muslims are at war with everybody.

There are no peaceful Muslims. None. The so-called peaceful Muslims are the sheep’s clothing that the violent Muslims wear in order for them to perpetuate their violence. It makes complete sense that after attacking Israel on October 7, all of the Muslim terrorists went back into Gaza and hid behind the so-called civilian, peaceful Muslims. The violent terrorist Muslims were wearing the clothes of the peaceful Muslims. Abdul Carter pretends to be standing up for peace and against hatred, but is sheep’s clothing. Has Abdul Carter ever spoken out against Islamic terrorist attacks? Has he ever condemned the violence and hatred committed by his fellow Muslims, not a thousand years ago, this year?

In response to this social media storm, President Trump who is never shy to weigh in on a controversial issue, posted on social media, “Thank you Jaxson! It was great being with you. I know you’re taking some heat from the Radical Left Lunatics who are jealous of you, me, and everyone who surrounds us but, I also know that your Jersey also went to Number One, and you’re making Millions of Dollars so, YOU ARE A WINNER — THEY ARE ALL LOSERS. I’ll see you in the White House!”

Some people in the press have suggested that President Trump has the social media presence of an 8-year-old because he responded like this. Yes, our President can get a little petty on social media at times, but let’s rehash. Ever since he descended the golden escalators at Trump Tower and announced that he was running for President, Donald Trump has been mocked and ridiculed. He has been lied about and slandered. He’s been called a racist, sexist, homophobic, a Nazi, Hitler. His 2016 campaign was spied on by the FBI. His transition team was spied on by the FBI. He was framed as colluding with the Russians to rig the 2016 election. They impeached him twice. They threw members of his inner circle into prison. They unleashed a worldwide pandemic to derail his first term and rig his next election. They stole the 2020 election from him. They arrested him 4 times and charged him with 91 crimes. They tried to put him in jail for the rest of his life on trumped up charges that no one gets arrested for. They raided his home. They banned him on social media. They tried to block him from ever running for President again. They called for him to be murdered. They even tried to assassinate him three times. They accused him of every crime that they have committed against him. And they call Trump divisive and a threat to Democracy.

The Democrats and the left want Trump to remain silent, above the fray the way George W Bush did, and John McCain and Mitt Romney did, because they want to be able to continue to attack and pummel him into submission the way Bush, McCain and Romney were beat down. But Trump fights back. Trump defends himself. He does not cede any ground to the left, and that’s what they hate so much about him. They are so used to doing whatever they want without push back. Their politics of personal destruction do not work on Trump. They cannot control Trump, they cannot manipulate Trump, and that is what makes people on the left so deranged when it comes to our sitting President.

Has anyone else noticed that climate change is no longer an issue? We have been told for years that climate change was an existential threat to humanity, that the world was coming to an end because of it, and we needed to spend trillions of dollars on green energy or human life on this planet would cease to exist. For years, I argued against this. I argued that the globalists, the powerful elite, the authoritarians were using climate change to scare us in order to control us. If they controlled energy, they would control the means of production, and if they controlled the means of production, they would control the people. It’s pretty straightforward. That was their plan.

Nobody is scaring us about global warming and the dangers of fossil fuels anymore. In fact, climate activist Greta Thunberg has chosen to protest about Gaza and the Palestinians, instead of lecturing us about climate change. The UN has walked back its doomsday climate change models. Why? Did we fix the problem? No. Climate change suddenly is no longer an issue. In fact, the people who used to scream at us about fossil fuels are the ones complaining the loudest about the rise of gas prices. Climate change was a hoax, and everybody knows it. It was never about saving the planet; it was always about controlling the people.

The reason why they no longer harp on climate change is that they have discovered a new and more efficient way of controlling us – AI. It is not just mining data and spying on us where AI controls the people; it is also through algorithms dictating content, psychological manipulation, and cognitive dependency. The problem is that AI data centers consume more energy than any other entity on Earth. They are the reason why coal fire power plants are being built all around the world in record numbers. These centers will be producing more greenhouse gases than the rest of the world combined. So, everyone has stopped caring about climate change because with the rise of AI, they no longer need it to control the population.

The joke is that now Al Gore who won the Nobel Prize and an Academy Award, and made hundreds of millions of dollars by scaring us that the world was getting too hot, is warning us that the world is getting too cold, because it has to be getting colder for the globalists’ agenda to move forward. If we were still scared of climate change, not one AI data center would be allowed to be built. Because they need to burn fossil fuels at record levels for AI to maintain its control over the people, now the climate lie must go in the opposite direction.

These centers are popping up everywhere. In Coweta Country, Georgia, the government is using eminent domain to seize people’s land and their homes to make room for an AI data center. In Saline, Michigan, the government has seized 250 acres of farmland in order to build a massive AI data center, after the residents voted against building it in their community. Mark Zuckerberg’s data center in New Mexico has drained parts of the Rio Grande river. The facility drinks up 75 million gallons of water every year.

It’s all about control. It was never about saving the planet. AI has the power to control everyone’s life, so it doesn’t matter to the global elite that we have to double our carbon output to support it. We must reject this. But we never will because humans always take the easy way out. Let AI write our papers, do our research, perform our jobs because we are lazy. Turn our thinking over to AI and soon enough we will turn our autonomy over to AI. When they build self-driving cars that are safer than human drivers, we will all vote to ban human drivers. Think about that. We will voluntarily give up our autonomy, our control, for safety. Yet, these companies continue to build AI knowing that not only will it eventually throw most of us into poverty, AI might very well kill us all.

At a recent AI conference, Andrew Yang came away frightened. He said, “what we will see in the next six months, outstrips what we have seen in the last ten years because the rate of change is on a hockey stick and heading up… And if that continues, it is going to eat a lot of the tech budgets from corporations that used to go to humans. And so, you are seeing that the employment of recent computer science graduates fall off the cliff… we are going to automate away about 50% of white-collar jobs.” It is projected that eventually AI and robotics will take the jobs of 90% of the work force.

In response to this massive future unemployment, tech oligarchs like Elon Musk are proposing UBI - universal basic income. But UBI will not be replacing your current income. UBI will be strictly for the necessities of life. Essentially, AI will be throwing 300 million people in this country onto welfare. And since UBI comes from the government, it will also be used to control people. Do what the government tells you, say only what the government approves of, or your UBI will be cut.

What many of these tech oligarchs who are engaged in this AI arms race fail to realize is that the reason why many of their companies are so wealthy and bring in so much revenue is not their product, it is the consumer. America is a consumer society. Joe Rogan makes $100 million per year, why? Because he’s brilliant? No. Because 50 million people listen to his podcast. That’s 50 million potential consumers. 50 million customers who companies around the world want to get access to in order to sell their products. Rogan gets paid millions for that access. Data mining on social media platforms is all about selling product to consumers.

Here’s a question, if you were selling a product, that is not a necessity, would you want your product advertised to 50 million Americans or 50 million people living in Africa? Americans. Not because Americans are inherently better but because Americans have more money and more disposable income. So, Americans will spend $30 on some gadget that looks cool but is unnecessary, while the Africans can’t and won’t. So, if in your pursuit to increase your profit margin, you eliminate all of your human workers and dump them on welfare, you are also eliminating your consumer because the employee who used to make $90,000 per year and buy useless consumer goods, will now be receiving $25,000 in UBI per year from the government and can no longer afford those products. No one will have money to purchase anything other than necessities.

Henry Ford did not give his workers the weekends off and a livable wage because he was a good guy, he did that because he knew that rested workers were more productive and that giving his workers a better wage made them better customers to purchase goods and stimulate the economy. A company creating a product which will throw 90% of the work force into poverty, will only serve to destroy the company in the end.

For a group of people who pride themselves as being such forward thinkers, these big tech oligarchs have not thought this new and changing business model through. They are only seeing one inch in front of their noses which is the bottom-line benefit of replacing human workers with machines right now. They say that robots and AI don’t get sick, don’t take a salary, don’t need benefits, and can work 24/7, but they also don’t buy useless garbage off of Amazon, nor will they be spending hundreds of dollars every month on streaming services and mindless apps. So, much of that big tech revenue will disappear when the ability of the human consumers to purchase products en masse disappears.

The entire economy will collapse. Most of the things that are purchased in the American economy are impulse buys, comfort buys, pleasure buys, they are not necessities. What will happen to Starbucks when there is no more disposable income to spend $7.00 on a cup of coffee that can be made at home for $0.50? The airline industry, entertainment industry, streaming, travel, vacations – any industry that produces anything but the necessities, will implode. Any industry whose products are purchased with disposable income will disappear when disposable income disappears. And the advertising dollar which is driving the explosion of wealth in the tech industries will also disappear.

Has Elon Musk asked the question that since most of the funding for Space X comes from massive government contracts, what will happen when 90% of the workforce is thrown out of their job and they are no longer taxpayers, and they become tax recipients? Where will all the tax dollars come from for the government to pay the tens of billions of dollars in Space X’s contract? Has he asked how many welfare recipients other than the Somalis in Minnesota, drive luxury cars like a Tesla? When these tech oligarchs destroy the American worker, they are destroying the American consumer and destroying the American economy which made them hundreds of billions of dollars in the first place.

What will happen when the majority of the United States GDP comes from AI and data centers, and not from people? Will the government still have the incentive to invest the tax dollars into the educating people and developing human resources when they are no longer getting a GDP return on that investment, or will the government put the lion’s share of tax dollars into data centers?

The problem is that most of these people who are making AI and robots, are so smart that they think more like a computer than a human. They are more machine than human and that’s where their blind spot lies. They do not understand humanity. They think that humans are going to respond to their prompts like their AI systems. They think we will simply do as we are told – ‘thank you sir, may I have another’. But that’s not humanity. And one day, these big tech oligarchs are going to peer out of a window in their sprawling mansions, and there will be tens of thousands of people in the street in front of their homes with torches and knives and guns preparing to storm their mansions because an AI system or a robot that the tech oligarch created took their jobs. And these oligarchs will not be able to hit the delete button to make them stop.

Billionaire CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman has said, “we see a future where intelligence is a utility, like energy or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.” He also said, “people talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model … But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.” And their it is. People like Sam Altman do not see the inherent value of human life. He values people based solely on what they can do and produce. This is a devaluing of humans, a devaluing of humanity. When Elon Musk warned Sam Altman of the dangers of AI replacing humans, Altman called Musk a speciesist – someone who values humans above non-humans. Altman has no problem with eliminating the human race if they cannot perform and produce at the levels of AI and robots. These people value intelligence so much, that they are willing to sacrifice humanity as a whole to achieve this ultimate intelligence. But what will be gained, if all is destroyed in the process?

In Douglas Adams brilliant and hilarious novel, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, pan-dimensional beings create a gigantic super computer named Deep Thought, designed to find the answer to “the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything”. A quest that people like Sam Altman seems to be on today. Deep Thought spends 7.5 million years of processing the question, and then reveals the answer: 42.

We are embarking on this fool’s errand. This AI arms race is truly a Quixotic quest, searching for this super artificial intelligence, believing it will give us the answers to all of our problems, but the answer that we will get will be the equivalent of, 42. It’s not going to give us an answer to the problems of the world that are any different than ones we already know.

On the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, “do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” If you truly understand and embrace this, that is the answer to many of the problems in the world.

Physics is driving this AI revolution. It is a complete takeover of the physical world. A constant pursuit of more and more power and control over the physical world. We, as a species, have become all in on the physical and completely suppressing the spiritual, and this is the end result – nihilism, complete destruction of the world and of ourselves. The takeover by the solely physical beings, and the annihilation of the spiritual within us. But eventually the snake will eat itself.

Does Sam Altman understand that the true uniqueness and value of human beings does not lie in how well the human body performs or how fast and accurate the human brain computes, but in their humanity itself. The part of human beings that the physical world cannot touch, replace or replicate with machines - the spirit, the soul. The human soul is the greatest creation and the very thing that these billionaire tech moguls are intent on destroying. That is why Jesus values the soul so much, and rejects the flesh. In the Gospel of John, Jesus tells Nicodemus, “no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.” It signifies a spiritual rebirth which trumps our physical birth, granting us new eternal life and entry into God’s kingdom.

The problem with the world isn’t that we are not smart enough or that we don’t have enough knowledge or intelligence. We think we will find the answers only in the physical and not the spiritual. We are looking in the wrong place. We’re looking for some sort of universal answer that will come from AI that will solve all the problems in the world, but the problem with the world is we lack morality. We have become solely creatures of the flesh. There’s too much hatred, too much greed, too much selfishness, too much pursuit of pleasure; we have devalued human life to the extent that we are killing millions of babies every year, and we have parades celebrating it, and smartest people defend it. It is easy to devalue human life when we only see ourselves as creatures of the flesh. That is why Sam Altman has devalued human life this extent. The problems in the world are all a lack of morality. They are all spiritual crimes.

We, as humans, have enough knowledge to live with each other in peace and prosperity, but we don’t; we chose not to. There is no universal answer to fix the problems in the world at the end of the right query to a super AI machine. We have the answers to the test, but we refuse to write them down. Sam Altman is a billionaire, but that is not enough for him; he needs more, and he will destroy the entire human race in pursuit of that more which will never be enough, and that is the ultimate problem in the world because that plays itself out, large and small, a billion times a day across the globe, because even everything is never enough to too many people. Adam and Eve were given paradise, and that was not enough. And that is why we are where we are today.

Memorial Day is a day that we as a nation should take a moment to thank and remember all of the service men and women who have fought and died defending our nation. Over 650,000 United States soldiers have been killed in action since the Revolutionary War. That is a staggering number of lives lost preserving the principles spelled out in our Constitution. It will never let up because the United States will always be under attack because the founding principles of our nation will always be under attack as they are antithetical to every totalitarian who has ever sought to rule the world – whether that authoritarian calls himself a fascist, a communist, a socialist, an Islamist – it does not matter. They want rule the world and control the lives of every person in the world. Our Constitution flips that on its head. Our Constitution is designed to preserve and protect the natural rights of all human beings that have been endowed by our creator from the authoritarians who want to strip our God-given rights from us. There is never going to be a time when we are not under attack, when we do not need brave men and women protecting our rights. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. And that’s why our fighting men and women are so vigilant. These attacks on our Constitution and our rights are everywhere and they are ongoing. They are relentless. We need eternal vigilance to protect our country because our enemies are eternally vigilant to destroy us.

The problem with our military is that they have done too good of a job protecting us from our enemies to the point that our enemies do not want to attack us militarily anymore. They know that it is a losing proposition. So now they are attacking us from everywhere and everyway non-militarily. Look around at what is happening in our country and ask this question, did 650,000 United States soldiers willingly lay down their lives defending our country, so that we would simply open our southern border and allow 15 million unvetted foreign nationals mostly military age men to walk into this country, and we give them debit cards, cell phones, hotel rooms, free healthcare and the ability to vote in our elections? Did all those servicemen and women die protecting our country so that Chinese Communists and Middle Eastern Islamists could take over the curriculum at our major universities so that they could teach anti-American, anti-capitalism, anti-Christian, anti-white hate to the students there? Did they all die so that we would import millions of low IQ, lazy, corrupt Somalis to take over large sections of Minnesota and Ohio so that they could steal tens of billions of dollars from US taxpayers and send it to Somalia?

That’s not the deal they signed on for. And if they would have known that future generations would so easily give away our country to foreign interests and ideologies diametrically opposed to our founding principles, they probably would not have fought so hard or have been willing to give up so much defending a country whose greatness and uniqueness so many of our citizens, not only take for granted, but so easily denigrate. They say, “hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times.” We are on the bottom of that cycle right now. For most of our country’s existence, we have had strong men and women battling hard times, fighting fierce enemies, and all those wars and battles created the good times that we have been experiencing, and those good times have created the new iteration of the Democrat party filled will weak men and women – pathetic, delusionally self-righteous weaklings – who know in their heart that they are so undeserving of the greatness of America, that they want to destroy it out of sheer misguided guilt.

They cheer when Muslim protestors and BLM rioters burn the American flag. A Democratic candidate for the Maine Senate in 2026, Graham Platner, a man with a Nazi symbol tattooed to his chest mocked a U.S. soldier, Pfc. Ted Daniels, who was severely injured in combat, calling him a “mouth breather” who “didn’t deserve to live” on social media. Platner was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His mother was a successful restaurant owner and his father was a prominent lawyer. His grandfather was famous architect Warren Platner. Graham went to the exclusive elite border school Hotchkiss in Connecticut. The life that he was handed at birth was the product of the American dream, yet he hates America.

Likewise, Mai Vang, a Democrat California Congressional Candidate refused to participate in the Pledge of Allegiance, and has been known to intentionally turn her back on the flag during the pledge. Vang was born in Sacramento, California, to Hmong refugees from Laos who fled after the Vietnam War. Vang’s family relied on food stamps, government social programs, and the Salvation Army for resources to live. She received a Bachelors’ Degrees in Biology and Sociology from the University of San Francisco and Master degrees from UCLA. So, she lived the American dream but hates America. How would she be doing if her family were forced to stay in Laos? She probably would be dead.

We have a mayor of New York City who was also born into privilege – his father is a prominent professor at Columbia University and his mother is an award-winning film maker, whose combined net worth is estimated at $22 million. Mamdani was born in Uganda. His family fled to the United States and lived the American dream, and you guessed it, he hates America and he hates the system of capitalism which enriched his parents and himself. I could provide example after example, but the common threat is that the Democrats and the socialists who benefitted the most monetarily from the United States and capitalism, are the very ones who hate the United States and want to destroy our capitalist system. 650,000 United States soldiers did not willing die on battlefields so that we would elect politicians who hate America.

So, on this Memorial Day, we can thank and honor all the United States soldiers who laid down their lives defending this country, by also acknowledging the greatness of the United States of America, its Constitution and free market economic system – the very institutions that these brave men and women fought and died for. The United States is the greatest country on the face of the earth, not because it is perfect but because of our founding principles and our Constitution, and we must reject and defeat anyone who denigrates and wants to destroy that which makes America great.

Hollywood has become a very confusing place, a very weird place, these days. On the one hand, the big Hollywood studios almost always make business decisions. They’re not going to take a chance on an artistic type of movie with a niche audience that does not guarantee a substantial return on their investment. They continually opt to make the safe big budget movies. That’s why they are stuck in the Marvel, DC, superhero world. How many Spider-Man movies can they make? How many Iron Man movies can we endure? They make the same movies over and over again. That’s why we constantly see sequels of movies that have done well because people will return and watch those movies. The studios are afraid to take a chance on a movie that could be great, but could also be a bust. They prefer the safe choices, the ones with a guaranteed box office return.

And then comes a movie like Christopher Nolan’s, The Odyssey. For a big movie studio like Universal, this appears to be a safe choice. The Odyssey is classic literature. It’s familiar to the culture. Many have read the book. People know what the Odyssey is. And Christopher Nolan is a director with the Midas touch – everything that he touches turns to gold. He didn’t get trapped in his Batman trilogy. He was able to expand outside of that franchise to movies like Inception, Interstellar, and Oppenheimer. He is considered to be one of, if not the best director working in Hollywood today. This movie should be a no-brainer success. You have classic, tried and true source material; you have the best director working today; how could this movie fail? It is teed up for a summer blockbuster success.

And then for no apparent reason, a director and a movie studio in an industry that doesn’t like to take chances, and are in the precipice of making a surefire successful movie, decide to make several casting choices that will most likely cut the viewing audience in half. They decided to cast a transman, Elliot Page as Achilles. Achilles is considered one of the strongest and fiercest warriors in all of classic literature. In the 2004 epic, Troy, Achilles was played by Brad Pitt in his prime. Now Achilles is being played by a 5’ 1” person who use to be a girl. Make it make sense. And then they decided to cast, Lupita Nyong’o, an African woman as Helen of Troy. Helen of Troy is described as the most beautiful woman in the world, “fair haired”, “white-armed”, “fair faced.” And when reading that description, they decided to cast, a black woman.

They didn’t have to do this. The audience for this movie was already set. They didn’t have to pander for any reason. And yet they did. And the question is, why? Why would they make those casting choices when they did not have to. Elliot Page brings nothing to the character of Achilles. Nothing. Achilles was a fierce warrior, a hyper-physical male, oozing testosterone. Homer described him as an unmatched, godlike warrior. He compared him to a “wild mountain hawk” and “a tower of strength”. His iconic spear was so massive and heavy that none of his comrades could even lift it, let alone wield it in battle. And they chose to cast of small frail transman in that role, for no reason?

Why did they cast a black woman in the role of Helen of Troy who was clearly not a black woman? This is not Hamilton the musical. That was their schtick – have all black actors play the white historical figures from the founding of the United States. That was Hamilton’s deal. But randomly playing a black woman as Helen of Troy makes no sense. You wouldn’t cast Austin Butler to play the lead in the Jackie Robinson story. You wouldn’t have Anne Hathaway portray Michelle Obama in a movie. It doesn’t make sense.

People could argue that for years white people were playing characters who were not white – the most famous example is Natalie Wood playing in Hispanic girl in West Side Story. That choice that happened 60 years ago, and has been critiqued and criticized over and over and over again. So, is this casting of a black woman to play Helen of Troy designed to make the movie better or is it designed to make a social statement against Hollywood’s history of casting white people in non-white roles? If it’s making a social statement, it’s not improving the movie, and if it doesn’t improve the movie, it’s making the movie worse. The people who reject the social statement will not open their wallets and go to this movie.

The movie will probably still make hundreds of millions of dollars. And every left-wing media outlet will give it five stars or two thumbs up or at 99 rating on their movie scale. We all know how that works. And a lot of people on the left will go to the movie just because they made these casting decisions; and a lot of people on the right won’t go to the movie because they made those decisions. But those decisions, do not make it a better movie, they make it worse. And that ultimately is the problem when you attempt to make social statements in your art. They detract from the art. They make the art worse. You can make social statements through your art, but the social statements must arise, organically through the art and from the human condition you are examining, not by making social statements through casting or other decisions that are not part of the artistic expression.

Share

These are bad choices. I don’t know if Christopher Nolan cut some sort of deal that he would only get the $400 million to make this movie if he agreed to make these types of casting choices. But they’re bad choices. And Christopher Nolan is too good of a director for us to think that he actually believes that these are good choices. Achilles was a fierce warrior; he was not 5’ 1’ and 135 pounds. That’s miscasting. It’s not good for the movie, and it’s not good for Elliot Page. Maybe Christopher Nolan wanted to integrate Elliot Page back into acting after the transition, but this is not the vehicle to do that. This decision merely underscores the absurdity of Elliot Page for all to see. Elliot Page becomes a joke and an embarrassment by being cast as Achilles. And this is the problem with all of the woke stuff. When you try to shove absurdities down other people’s throats and shame them into swallowing them, you are merely highlighting how absurd these ideologies are.

Hollywood has become about making safe choices these days. They eschew the directors who strive for greatness by taking chances because they prefer and they need safety; they need the guarantee return at the box office. And if that has become Hollywood’s business model then that’s what their business model is, but if you’re going to make a risky choice that runs the risk of alienating a certain segment of society from your movie, the risky choice should be one that is striving for artistic greatness, and not pandering to wokeism. The only people who are going to say that this is a good movie are the people who are embedded in the woke culture. And 15 to 20 years from now, this movie is not merely going to be woke; it is going to be a joke. It’s going to be a punch line.

But this is endemic of the whole woke culture. There is so much potential for greatness in this movie. You have a great director; you have classic source material. All the elements are in place. And then woke does to this movie what it always does to whatever it injects itself into; it destroys it. And it’s sad. This is a gigantic missed opportunity. It’s going to be an epic failure when it could’ve been an epic classic. And the problem is that these people never learn. This isn’t the first time that potentially good movies have been destroyed by this ideology whether it’s Pixar’s Buzz Lightyear, that injected homosexuality into a kids movie or not casting authentic dwarfs in the movie, Snow White and the seven dwarfs, or every woke thing that has been done to the Star Wars franchise since Disney purchased it. All of these types of choices, continually destroy movies and destroy our culture, and the people doing this never learn because they are so blinded by their moral self-righteous that they believe the forced pandering applause is actually authentic.

All of this started under Obama. All the craziness that we are witnessing in this country, that we are witnessing throughout the West, started under Obama. He knew exactly what he was doing. Obama is not what he claims to be. Obama is not a liberal Christian. He is a Marxist and a Muslim, and that is a deadly combination for the West, for democracy, for freedom, for individual rights, and for Christianity.

On the surface and at their core, Muslims and Marxists are diametrically opposed ideologically, so why do Muslims attach themselves to Marxists? Marxists are very good at creating revolution from within. They know how to take over a country’s institutions whether its education, culture and arts, financial, and most importantly political. Historically, Muslims have taken over countries through invasion. There are at least 56 examples of that worldwide. But that would not work in the West definitely not in the United States.

Muslims would not be able to take over the West, Europe, and the United States without the help of Marxists. And Marxists accept Muslims because Marxists are so ideologically driven, that if anybody claims to be a Marxist, they are immediately acknowledged as a fellow traveler, and are accepted into the club because they want as many Marxists as possible. The Muslims also align themselves with the Marxists because they know in the West that the Marxists are in control of the media, and in order to gain widespread support in the West, they need to have the support of the media. This is how we get leftists groups on college campuses supporting pro-Palestine, pro-Hamas, anti-Israel protests and rallies, and the media reports it a positive development.

Take Zohran Mamdani in New York City. He is a Muslim and a Marxist. The media completely ignores the Muslim aspect of Mamdani. They didn’t focus on the fact that he is anti-Jewish, anti-Christian, anti-white, pro terrorist. They said very little about the fact that he led a protest to “globalize the intifada” which means commit worldwide genocide against the Jews. Intifada means remove the Jews from Israel, so to globalize it, means remove the Jews from the globe – every place on the face of the Earth. But our far-left media ignored that he promoted the genocide of the Jews because they are just thrilled that he is going to implement Marxist policies in the city. They only focused on the promises of free buses, the free subways, the free healthcare and the free housing – only the Marxism part of it. The Islam part was completely ignored.

That is where the danger lies. The driving ideology behind a person like Mamdani isn’t Marxism, which is bad enough; it’s Islamism. He shrouded himself in Marxism, to be accepted by the Western media, and by the leftist in America, but his goal is not the implementation of Marxism in America, it is the Islamization of America – the Muslim takeover of the United States. That’s it. We’ve seen this tactic play itself out before. 47 years ago, Iran was one of the most Westernized countries in the Middle East when it came to industrialization, culture, individual rights, and women’s rights. They were way ahead of the curve in the Middle East.

Iran was very Westernized, but it was being ruled by the Shah of Iran who was seen as a dictator. So, the Islamists aligned themselves with the leftists and the Marxists from the universities to stage a revolution to overthrow the Shah. The leftists and the Marxists believed that when the revolution came, there would be the implementation of a Marxist system of government and economics, and there would be a push for economic equality for all. They expected a flattening of the social and economic classes, and a more equitable society would be instituted. They got was the exact opposite. The first thing that the Islamists did when they seized power in Iran was to murder all of the leftists and the Marxists who helped them stage the revolution. They were merely useful idiots to the Muslims. They were tools that they needed to gain power. There was never an intent to implement Marxism or communism in Iran back in the 1970s. It was always going to be a theocratic dictatorial regime.

Look at what is happening to New York City. Mamdani is implementing these Marxist policies, which is driving business out of the city. Major corporations are leaving because they don’t want to deal with the tax burden and the anti-business policies. Mamdani does not care. His goal is not to make New York City prosperous; his goal is not to make the lives of the people in New York City better; his ultimate goal is to make New York City Muslim. He’s using Marxism to drive business out of the City. He is purposely driving business minded people out of New York City because he is going to slowly replace them with Muslim refugees. We will look up ten years from now and New York City will be a majority Muslim city that looks a lot like Islamabad.

Share

And because New York will be a majority Muslim city not only will there always be a Muslim mayor in perpetuity, the massive Muslim presence in New York City will also tip the elections of the governor’s race and the New York Senate races. Eventually, New York State will have a Muslim governor, who will re-distribute all the wealth of state to the Muslims in New York City. And they will continue to flow more and more Muslims into New York City and New York State. That is their plan. There’s no intention of implementing socialism or communism. It’s all Islamism.

The socialists and the communists are stupid enough to fall for this again. That’s what Obama did. He has flooded this country with Muslims. That’s why we have all of that Somali corruption in Minnesota. Obama created that. That’s why we have a Muslim mayor in New York City. Obama is a Muslim. He pretends to be a leftist, so he can get elected in America, but he really is an Islamist. His goal is to turn the United States of America into a Muslim country. Does anyone actually believe that Obamacare was about getting everyone affordable healthcare? It was about the government seizing control over one-seventh of the economy, and control over one of the most important aspects of everybody’s life, so when the Muslims do take power, they will be able wield all of that power over the people in order to implement Islamism.

We all know what happens when Muslims take over a country. Individual and human rights are stripped. Non-Muslims are targeted. Non-Muslims are arrested. Non-Muslims are killed. It’s happening throughout Muslim majority countries in the Middle East and Africa. And the idiotic left who voted for Mamdani, who voted for Obama, the blood will be all over their hands. There are no good Muslims. None. The so-called “good Muslims” are merely the willful sheep’s clothing that the Muslim wolves hide behind so they can inflict their pain, death and destruction on the rest of us.

In the 1988 movie, The Naked Gun, a baseball player, played by Reggie Jackson is brainwashed by evil businessman, Vincent Ludwig, played by Ricardo Montalban into attempting to assassinate the Queen of England. In the final scene at a Major League Baseball game, Ludwig uses an electronic beeper to activate Jackson and he hypnotically walks out of right field with a gun in his hand toward Queen Elizabeth repeating, “must kill the Queen, must kill the Queen.” Jackson, obviously, is unaware of what he is doing, as he unconsciously does the bidding of the person who has brain washed him.

As we have witnessed the many assassination attempts by leftists against conservatives over the last few years, it is hard not to draw comparisons of what is happening today to that 1980’s movie. Cole Allen, the 31-year-old man who tried to assassinate Donald Trump on Saturday, was the tool. He is the person who was unwittingly doing the bidding of the powerful left. He thought he was doing something heroic because he’s been told almost every day for the last 10 years that Donald Trump is the most evil person on the planet. He believed that he was saving the United States of America; he believed that he was saving the world from Donald Trump. And that was not a delusion. There were not nonexistent voices in his head, telling him these things. The voices in his head were real voices that he heard. They were coming from CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNOW, the left-wing social media, Democrat politicians. Those were the voices in his head telling him to do what he did.

We all know what President Trump has been called. This has been a 10 year long personal attack on our President. He has been called every vile name in the book – racist, white supremacist, Russian agent, homophobic, transphobic, misogynist, pedophile, rapist, murderer, fascist, dictator, threat to democracy, Nazi, and Hitler. These have been repeated again and again and again and again with the sole purpose of what happened on Saturday night or what we witnessed in Butler, Pennsylvania in 2024.

There are philosophy courses which discuss the question of the morality of going back in time and murdering a young Hitler before he had a chance to create the holocaust. Is it the most moral choice to kill one “innocent” Hitler before he has a chance to kill six million innocent people? The way the Democrats and the left portray Donald Trump, many people have been led to believe that ethical question is playing out in real time. And the people who have been slandering Trump know it. The attacks on Trump have not simply been a smear campaign against his policies to get people not to vote for him; this has been a psyop designed to trigger the fringe on the left to take matters into their own hands. The assassination attempt on Trump was the unspoken hoped for result of every person who has ever called Trump Hitler, a Nazi, a fascist, etc.

And it never stops. Less than 24 hours after the assassination attempt on President Trump’s life, in an interview with 60 Minutes, Norah O’Donnell read from Cole Allen’s manifesto in which he called Trump, “a pedophile, rapist, and traitor” – the very words that left wing politicians, celebrities and journalists have been calling Trump for a decade. That manifesto was him merely writing down the false accusations that the left has been spewing against Trump for the last 10 years, and were presented in the manifesto as his motivation. So, Norah O’Donnell knew exactly what she was doing when she read those words on national television. She is putting out into the ether that Donald Trump is all of those things because she knows that the next Cole Allen is out there somewhere watching her, hearing those false accusations, and may be motivated to act upon them. That is what the Democrat party is relying on.

When Luigi Mangione decided to assassinate a healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, many on the left, glorified him, built him up into some sort of folk hero. The underlying message from the left is that if you don’t like somebody, if you disagree with them politically, you will be glorified if you assassinate them. The assassination of Charlie Kirk was cheered by many on the left. There have been Broadway plays in which Donald Trump has been assassinated, and the people in the audience applauded. Days before the recent assassination attempt of Trump, “comedian” Jimmy Kimmel called Melania Trump a “widow in waiting.” James Carville recently talked about wanting “him [Trump] to suffer”. Far left influencer Hasan Piker said on his podcast “let the streets soak in red Capitalist blood”, and praised Luigi Mangione for the “social murder” of Brian Thompson.

Here’s the problem, the people who carry out these assassinations and assassination attempts, what do they gain? What did Thomas Crooks gain by shooting Donald Trump in the ear? His body was riddled full of bullets and is lying in a grave. What did Ryan Routh gain by trying to kill Trump at Mar Lago in September 2024? He was sentenced to life in prison without parole. In June of 2022, Nicholas Roske tried to kill Justice Kavanaugh, and he is sitting in a federal prison cell right now. Tyler Robinson, the man who killed Charlie Kirk, is going to spend the remainder of his life in prison. Luigi Mangione and Cole Allen will spend the next 50 years living in a 6 x 8 cage. That is their future. They all thought they would be heroes, but what have they accomplished for their lives? Nothing. How did those assassinations change anything? They have not moved the needle at all. Their lives are completely destroyed. They accomplished nothing, but the Jimmy Kimmels and the James Carvilles of the world who were part of the psyop, just go on living in their mansions and laughing at the whole thing while the anonymous minions who do their bidding are killed or their lives are destroyed.

Alex Pretti and Rene Good are both dead now because they were emboldened to attack ICE agents because of the far-left propaganda against ICE as they were lawfully trying to remove criminal aliens from this country. Those two people were encouraged to attack ICE agents which led to their deaths, and today, no one on the left gives a damn about Alex Pretti and Rene Good. They are glad that both of them were shot and killed. That was the purpose of slandering ICE and getting people like that to attack ICE, so they could stand on their graves and use their deaths to dismantle ICE. The Democrats have used their deaths as the reason to not to fund DHS which will stop ICE from deporting criminal aliens so more illegals vote for them, so they can win more elections and commit billions of dollars of more fraud like we have seen in Minnesota and California.

Not only is it a fact that the majority of the political violence in this country comes from the left, we have recently discovered that the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center has been funding, so-called extreme right groups, such as white supremacists and the KKK, to commit violence like we saw in Charlottesville back in 2017. We now know that the violence that has been attributed to the right, was bought and paid for by the left just so it could appear that the right is the violent side. There were dozens of undercover agents in the crowd on January 6, stirring up the riot that we witnessed on January 6. The left is all about violence, either they are using it to kill their opponents on the right, or are manipulating violence to smear their opponents on the right.

The left is all about violence – assassinations, riots, looting, protecting criminal aliens, cashless bail for violent offenders, early parole for murderers, open borders for drug smugglers, rapists and murderers. They want the violence because they know that violence destroys the country, and they need to destroy the country to seize control of the country. We are witnessing it in New York City. Mayor Mamdani is intentionally destroying New York to create the conditions where he can seize complete control of the city. That is what they do; that is who they are.

The Democrat party is a complete fraud. They lie about their opponents to create a psyop which emboldens would-be assassins. The left-wing grassroots protests and riots are paid for by billionaires. The violence on the right is paid for by the left. They open borders to change the electorate to vote for Democrats. They count illegals in the census to create more Democrat districts. They unconstitutionally gerrymander districts to erase Republican districts in their state. They have illegals on the voter rolls voting for them. They have dead people on the voter rolls voting them. They stuff the ballot boxes with mail-in ballots with no identification verification. Billions of USAID money has been funneled to left wing groups and Democrat politicians. Billions of dollars of daycare fraud in Minnesota which bribed whole communities to vote for them. Billions of dollars of healthcare and hospice fraud in California.

Everything they are about is fraudulent. It is fair to ask; do they not have a conscience? How could they be up to their eyeballs in sewage and not smell the stink? How could they not look around and conclude that if they have to resort to violence, and lies, and fraud, and mass deception for their party to win that maybe they are on the wrong side, maybe they are the problem? But they are deluded. They believe that they are so morally right that all of their lying, deception, fraud and violence is all justified. And that is how dangerous the Democrats are.
