  • The Dangerous Sedition of Urging Military Disobedience Over Policy Disagreements

    The Dangerous Sedition of Urging Military Disobedience Over Policy Disagreements
    Nov 22 2025
    In a stunning display of partisan desperation, six Democrat lawmakers with military or intelligence backgrounds—Senators Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), along with Representatives Jason Crow (D-CO), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), Chris Deluzio (D-PA), and Maggie Goodlander (D-NH)—released a video entitled “Don’t Give Up the Ship” on November 18th. In it, they directly addressed active-duty service members and intelligence personnel, reminding them of their oath to the Constitution and their duty to refuse “unlawful orders.”This came amid President Trump’s deployment of National Guard forces to quell violent crime in Democrat-run cities like Los Angeles, Portland, Chicago, and potentially others. President Trump rightly condemned this as “seditious behavior at the highest level,” labeling the lawmakers “traitors” whose actions endanger the chain of command and national stability.To wit: those who cloak their political opposition in faux concern for the Constitution while actively undermining civilian control of the military are the real threat to the Republic.To understand why this intervention is so pernicious, one must first grasp what constitutes a truly “unlawful order” under US military law. The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and longstanding precedent make clear that service members are obligated to disobey orders that are manifestly illegal—that is, orders that clearly violate the Constitution, federal law, or the laws of war, where no reasonable person could believe them lawful. The Department of Defense Law of War Manual and court-martial precedents emphasize that the illegality must be patent and palpable. Classic examples include orders to commit war crimes, such as murdering unarmed civilians or prisoners.History provides sobering illustrations. The most infamous US case is the 1968 My Lai Massacre during the Vietnam War, where Lieutenant William Calley ordered and participated in the slaughter of hundreds of unarmed Vietnamese villagers. Calley’s defense—“I was only following orders”—was rejected; he was convicted of premeditated murder because the order to kill non-combatants was manifestly unlawful. The courts-martial of Calley and Captain Ernest Medina reaffirmed that “superior orders” is no defense to obvious crimes.Similarly, post-World War II Nuremberg Trials established that Nazi officers could not hide behind Hitler’s directives to exterminate Jews or execute prisoners—such orders were void ab initio. In American jurisprudence, cases like United States v. Keenan (1969) further solidified that an order to commit a serious crime against civilians carries no legitimacy. These are not gray-area policy disputes; they are blatant criminal acts.Sedition, by contrast, strikes at the heart of governmental authority without necessarily involving overt violence. Under 18 USC § 2384, seditious conspiracy occurs when two or more persons conspire to oppose by force the authority of the United States, to prevent or delay the execution of any law, or to seize federal property. Historical examples include the 1861 convictions of Confederate sympathizers who plotted to disrupt Union operations, the Puerto Rican nationalist attack on Blair House in 1950, and more contemporary instances where state and local officials in “sanctuary” jurisdictions have systematically refused to honor ICE detainers or cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, deliberately obstructing the execution of duly enacted immigration laws and releasing dangerous criminal aliens back into communities—actions that federal authorities have repeatedly condemned as endangering public safety and defying the Supremacy Clause.Treason is the gravest offense, narrowly defined in Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution: “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” The Framers deliberately made it difficult to prove, requiring two witnesses to the same overt act or a confession in open court.There have been fewer than 40 treason prosecutions in US history and even fewer convictions. Aaron Burr was acquitted in 1807 despite allegations of plotting to detach western territories. During World War II, the Rosenberg spy ring was convicted of espionage (not treason) for passing atomic secrets to the Soviet Union, while Tokyo Rose (Iva Toguri) was controversially convicted of treason for wartime broadcasts but later pardoned. The narrow definition exists precisely to prevent its weaponization in partisan fights.Herein lies the outrage: partisan political and ideological differences cannot form the basis for claiming an order is unlawful. Deploying federal forces to restore order in crime-ravaged cities—authorized under the Insurrection Act and other statutes—is a quintessential executive prerogative, not a war crime. Encouraging uniformed personnel to ...

  • Democratic Socialism's Electoral Spread Is The Stealthy March Of A Marxist-Progressive Color Revolution

    Democratic Socialism's Electoral Spread Is The Stealthy March Of A Marxist-Progressive Color Revolution
    Nov 18 2025
    In the dim corridors of American democracy, where the fluorescent hum of complacency once drowned out the whispers of subversion, a crimson specter now stirs. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), that self-anointed vanguard of “progress,” gleefully tout their latest electoral conquests as harbingers of a benevolent new dawn.Zohran Mamdani’s seismic victory in New York City, part of a coast-to-coast socialist surge that netted DSA-endorsed candidates a staggering 12 wins in the 2025 cycle—four in New York alone—has the far-Left champagne corks popping. Municipal upsets in Connecticut, where DSA acolytes like Hamden’s Abdul Osmanu clung to their council seats under the Democratic banner, only underscore the rot. Nationwide, these “sweeping victories” have ignited feverish op-eds hailing a “red sun rising” over the body politic.But peel back the veneer of these so-called triumphs, and what emerges is no mere ideological shift—it’s the meticulously orchestrated creep of a slow-motion color revolution, engineered by Marxist-Progressives hell-bent on dismantling the Republic from within. Forget the street theater of molotovs and barricades; this is revolution by ballot box and backroom deal, a Trojan horse of equity-speak and grievance politics that the complicit Democrat establishment—and let’s throw in the political opportunist RINOs—has not only failed to quarantine but actively abetted. The DSA isn’t reforming America; it’s recolonizing it, one “democratic” concession at a time.To grasp this insidious ploy, one must first demystify the Democratic Socialist facade. Deceptively couched as a “big tent” for millennials disillusioned with corporate greed, the DSA is little more than Marxism’s millennial makeover—Karl with a kale smoothie, Lenin lite for the latte-sipping set.Founded in 1982 amid the ashes of Cold War socialism’s global humiliations, it has ballooned to over 90,000 members by cynically co-opting the language of justice while peddling the same collectivist poison that starved millions in the 20th century. Their “successes”? A grotesque parody of electoral legitimacy.Recall Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s 2018 upset in New York’s 14th District, where she ousted a 10-term incumbent not on policy merit but through viral TikTok posts and astroturf outrage. Fast-forward to 2025, and Mamdani’s win is hailed as a masterclass in mobilizing “non-voters.” This was less about voter empowerment than demographic demagoguery—courting immigrant blocs—many enabled to vote illegally courtesy of New York State’s ridiculous voter registration laws—with promises of open borders and rent control that would bankrupt urban cores.In blue strongholds, DSA insurgents routinely knife moderate Democrats in primaries, turning safe seats into socialist beachheads. The Squad—Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and their rotating cast of Marxist radicals—now boasts a stranglehold on congressional committees, where they sabotage bipartisan deals with performative filibusters on “climate justice” and “reparations.”This isn’t organic populism; it’s the classic playbook of a color revolution, adapted for the American exceptionalism it despises. Traditional color uprisings, from Serbia’s Bulldozer Revolution to Ukraine’s Orange tide, relied on NGO- and government-agency-fueled youth mobilization and media psyops to topple autocrats.Here, the Marxist-Progressives have inverted the script: instead of foreign meddlers like George Soros (though his Open Society fingerprints are everywhere), it’s domestic infiltration via academia, unions, and Big Tech. Universities, bloated with tenure-track Trotskyites, churn out DSA foot soldiers—think the Young Democratic Socialists of America, whose ranks swelled post-2024 amid Trump’s shadow, registering “disenfranchised” youth to flood polls with anti-capitalist fervor.State-level wins, like DSA-backed legislators in California pushing for “universal basic income” that masks wealth redistribution as welfare, erode property rights under the guise of equity. Nationally, Bernie Sanders’ twice-failed presidential bids weren’t defeats but Trojan horses, injecting “Medicare for All” into the Democrat bloodstream and priming the pump for 2025’s municipal muggings.The complicity of the Democrat old guard—and the politically opportunistic apathy of the establishment Republican apparatus, so mired in their set ways they couldn’t recognize a color revolution if they were face-painted in it—is the revolution’s secret sauce; treacherous enablers who trade principles for power.Nancy Pelosi’s once-iron grip on the House frayed as she greenlit DSA firebrands into leadership roles, muttering platitudes about “diversity” while they gutted the party’s centrist soul. Joe Biden’s 2020 “Build Back Better” was less infrastructure than ideological surrender, laced with Green ...

  • How Marxism & Islamism Mirror Each Other in Their March Toward Domination of the West

    How Marxism & Islamism Mirror Each Other in Their March Toward Domination of the West
    Nov 10 2025
    In an era where the West sleepwalks toward its own undoing, it’s high time we peel back the veneer of “progressive” idealism and “spiritual” piety to reveal the grotesque underbelly of two ideologies that have poisoned the 20th Century and now conspire to devour the 21st. Marxism and Islamism—those seductive sirens of collectivist utopia and divine absolutism—aren’t distant cousins; they’re identical twins, suckled on the same venomous teat of authoritarianism and totalitarianism. Both promise paradise on earth (or in the afterlife, for the theocratic flavor), but deliver only chains, gulags, and graveyards. To ignore their eerie parallels is not just naive; it’s suicidal.Let’s dissect this unholy symbiosis, layer by bloody layer, and arm ourselves with the unflinching truth before it’s too late.At their core, both ideologies are rotten with the delusion of infallibility, a god-complex that brooks no contradiction. Marxism, that bastard child of Hegelian dialectics and proletarian envy, posits history as an inexorable march toward communist bliss, where the vanguard party—self-appointed shepherds of the masses—holds the divine right to purge dissenters. Karl Marx himself, in his fevered scribblings, envisioned a classless society forged in the fires of revolution, but what emerged was the iron fist of Lenin and Stalin, who understood that utopia demands uniformity.Dissent? A counter-revolutionary sin, punishable by Siberian exile or a bullet to the brain. Fast-forward to Mao’s Cultural Revolution, where millions were “re-educated” through terror, their thoughts dissected like lab rats to ensure alignment with the Party line.Islamism, the politicized perversion of a faith that once sparked enlightenment, mirrors this with chilling precision. Drawing from the Quran’s unyielding commands and Muhammad’s Medina playbook—where opposition meant exile or execution—modern Islamists like the Muslim Brotherhood’s Sayyid Qutb recast jihad as a total societal overhaul. Sharia isn’t mere law; it’s a totalitarian blueprint, infiltrating every crevice of life from diet to doctrine.Apostasy? Blasphemy? These are Marxism’s “bourgeois deviations” rebranded as kufr, warranting fatwas, floggings, or beheadings. Iran’s ayatollahs, those smirking mullahs in saffron robes, enforce this with the same zeal as Soviet commissars, jailing poets for “insulting Islam” while their youth rot in Evin Prison’s digital panopticon.Both systems worship the collective over the soul: the ummah for Islamists, the proletariat for Marxists. Individual rights? Laughable relics of bourgeois decadence, to be trampled under the boot of “greater good.”Economically, their authoritarian strangleholds are Frankenstein’s monsters stitched from control and coercion. Marxism’s central planning—those five-year mirages of abundance—starved Ukraine in the Holodomor and choked China’s Great Leap Forward into a famine that devoured 45 million lives. Private property is the opiate of the exploiters, seized by the state to “liberate” the workers, who end up serfs on collective farms. Islamism, no less rapacious, invokes zakat and usury bans not for charity but to funnel wealth into clerical and jihadist coffers. Saudi Wahhabism funds madrasas that churn out suicide bombers, while Hamas’s Gaza fiefdom diverts aid into tunnel-building ant-farms of terror.Both disdain free markets as satanic temptations: Marxism decries capitalism’s “alienation,” Islamism rails against riba-fueled “decadence.” The result? Stagnant economies where innovation withers under fat bureaucratic thumbs, and the masses subsist on propaganda rations of resentment.Propaganda, ah, the lifeblood of these leviathans. Both wield narrative as a weapon sharper than any scimitar or sickle. Marxist regimes mastered the art with Pravda’s fairy tales and Hollywood’s unwitting echoes in “progressive” agitprop, rewriting history to saint Stalin while airbrushing Trotsky from photos. Islamism counters with dawah’s honeyed lies and Al Jazeera’s slick spins, portraying burqa-clad oppression as “empowerment” and suicide bombings as “resistance.”Taqiyya—deceptive piety—dovetails with Marxist “united fronts,” where Islamists cozy up to Western Leftists, feigning victimhood to mask their supremacist snarls. Schools in both spheres indoctrinate from cradle to caliphate: Soviet youth pledged allegiance to Lenin, while Islamist hafezs memorize surahs that glorify conquest. Critical thinking? A virus to be vaccinated against with mindless recitations and reified rage.Their totalitarian tentacles extend to the family, the arts, even the bedroom—nothing escapes the gaze of the Great Leader or the All-Seeing Allah-as-enforced-by-man. Marxism’s “new socialist man” demanded gender quotas that masked the erasure of womanhood, as seen in East Germany’s Stasi-monitored nurseries. Islamism’s ...

  • Why Republicans & Conservatives Must Dominate Messaging

    Why Republicans & Conservatives Must Dominate Messaging
    Nov 7 2025
    In the wake of the November 5, 2025, elections, the political landscape offers a stark reminder of the perils facing our Constitutional Republic. Republicans and conservatives lamented predictable setbacks, but these aren’t just losses—they’re self-inflicted wounds born from a chronic failure to seize and wield the power of narrative.As we barrel toward the 2026 midterms and the pivotal 2028 General Election, it’s time for a brutal reckoning: If we don’t get exponentially better at capturing the message, owning the story, and relentlessly hammering our enemies into irrelevance, the Marxist-Progressive Left will continue its insidious march toward domination. The Democrats, those enablers of radicalism, and their Marxist-Progressive overlords—now emboldened by their alliances with Islamofascist elements—thrive on chaos and deception. We must become the aggressors in the information war, or watch our nation dissolve into a socialist dystopia.Let’s start with the obvious: The losses in New Jersey and Virginia on November 5 were entirely foreseeable. Both states have long been bastions of blue tyranny, infested with urban elites and suburban sheep who reliably vote for big-government handouts and cultural decay. New Jersey, with its history of corrupt Democrat machines, and Virginia, poisoned by the proximity to Washington’s swamp, were never going to flip without a Herculean effort.Yet, these defeats sting not because they were surprises, but because they expose the complacency of the Right. We allowed the Democrats to frame the races as referendums on Trump while ignoring that it is their own party that refuses to reopen government, letting their Marxist-Progressive puppets spew lies about equity and inclusion, while Republicans and conservatives mumbled about taxes and crime.In Virginia, the Left’s gender ideology indoctrination in schools went unchallenged in the narrative space, allowing them to portray conservatives as bigots. New Jersey’s economic woes? Buried under an avalanche of Democrat ads painting Republicans as heartless, even as it is the culmination of Leftist policies that have destroyed that economy. These weren’t inevitable; they were gifts to the enemy because we failed to dominate the discourse.Even more galling is the election of Zohran Mamdani as New York City Mayor—a Marxist-Progressive Jihadi whose victory was as predictable as it is disastrous. New York, that cesspool of ignorant Leftist excess, handed the keys to a radical who openly sympathizes with anti-American ideologies. But what of the choices voters had? Curtis Sliwa, the perennial spoiler with his Guardian Angels schtick and a new cat book, couldn’t muster a coherent message beyond nostalgia, and disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo, reeking of scandal and hypocrisy—his hands dripping with blood from the COVID scamdemic, was a laughable retread. The field was a joke, allowing Mamdani to waltz in on a platform of “social justice” that masks his true agenda: dismantling capitalism and cozying up to Islamist sympathizers. The Left owned this narrative from day one, branding their man as a fresh voice against “fascism,” while we sat on our hands.Mamdani’s win isn’t just a local tragedy; it’s a national harbinger of the Marxist-Islamofascist alliance gaining ground in our cities.The larger truth here is damning: these losses represent squandered opportunities to advance constitutionally centered, conservative governance. Opportunity after opportunity slips away because Republicans, conservatives, and even the MAGA movement—to a lesser but still critical extent—simply don’t grasp the primacy of narrative control. We treat politics like a gentleman’s debate club, while the Left plays for keeps, weaponizing every headline, tweet, and soundbite to bludgeon us.They capture the message by flooding the zone with propaganda: “Republicans hate women,” “Conservatives are racists,” “MAGA is insurrectionist.” And what do we do? Respond tepidly, if at all, allowing their lies to fester. For a fleeting moment, I thought we had turned a corner, when Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, that bloated symbol of platinum spoon-in-the-ass Democrat entitlement, complained that the Trump administration was “beating Democrats to the microphones” on the subject of immigration enforcement, capturing the narrative in the Chicago media. But that didn’t last long. They regrouped and attacked again and again, as we often fail to do.The MAGA energy under Trump showed promise—raw, unapologetic—but even that often devolves into infighting rather than unified assault. We must become relentless: Own the narrative by defining terms first. Call out the Democrats’ Marxist-Progressive wing for what it is—a cabal of power-hungry ideologues hell-bent on erasing borders, families, and freedoms. Bludgeon them intellectually into obscurity by exposing their hypocrisies each and every day, from ...

  • Marxism’s Creep into the Democrat Party: A Century of Subversion Through Progressivism

    Marxism’s Creep into the Democrat Party: A Century of Subversion Through Progressivism
    Nov 3 2025
    Marxism, at its core, is antithetical to freedom and individual liberty. Born from the fevered mind of Karl Marx, it envisions a world where the state crushes personal initiative under the boot of collective control, redistributing wealth not through merit but through coercive equality. History screams its failures: millions dead in gulags, economies in ruins, and societies stripped of innovation. Yet, this toxic ideology has wormed its way into the heart of the Democrat Party via the Progressive Movement, masquerading as “reform” while eroding America’s foundational principles of limited government and self-reliance.The infiltration began in the Wilson era, when Progressivism served as Marxism’s Trojan horse. Woodrow Wilson, the Democrat president from 1913 to 1921, openly praised socialism in his writings, viewing it as compatible with democracy while advocating for expansive government intervention. Progressives pushed for regulations that centralized power, from the Federal Reserve to income taxes, framing them as “social justice” but laying the groundwork for state dominance over private enterprise. This era’s radicals, including socialists cooperating with Democrats, blurred lines between reform and revolution, allowing Marxist ideas to seep into party platforms. Wilson’s administration even cracked down on true socialists like Eugene V. Debs, not out of opposition to their ideology, but to consolidate power under a progressive facade.Fast-forward to the 1960s, where Lyndon B. Johnson’s “Great Society” amplified this subversion. LBJ, a Democrat icon—courtesy of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, unleashed a torrent of welfare programs that critics rightly labeled as Marxist-inspired dependency machines. The War on Poverty, Medicare, and Medicaid ballooned government spending, fostering a culture of entitlement that echoed Marx’s call for wealth redistribution. Radical groups like Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) radicalized further, embracing orthodox Marxism and stressing class struggle. This era’s Marxist influence infiltrated Democrat policies, creating generational poverty traps and eroding family structures—hallmarks of communism’s assault on individual liberty.By the Clinton era, the mask refined itself. Bill Clinton’s “Third Way” politics blended neoliberalism with progressive rhetoric, but beneath it lurked Marxist undertones. Critics dubbed him a “Marxist monster“ for foreign policies that echoed socialist gradualism, cooperating with unions and advancing regulations that stifled free markets. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), nothing but a thin veil for Marxism, gained traction, promoting “democratic socialism” as a palatable rebrand of class warfare. DSA’s eclectic nature hides its roots in abolishing private ownership, a direct Marxist tenet, fooling voters into supporting incremental state control.The Obama years escalated the descent into Marxism’s tyrannical grip. Barack Obama, with ties to communist mentors and Marxist literature, implemented policies like Obamacare that centralized healthcare, mirroring socialist command economies. His slogan “Forward!“ echoed European Marxist radicals, signaling a march toward collectivism. Regulations exploded, businesses were vilified as oppressors, and cultural Marxism infiltrated education and media, dividing Americans along identity lines to distract from economic subjugation.Under Biden, the infiltration reached fever pitch. His administration’s “Bidenomics” pushed socialist wish lists: massive spending on green agendas, debt forgiveness, and equity programs that punish success. Critics decry it as stealth socialism, with policies like vaccine mandates abroad echoing Marxist racial theories. The harm is evident: inflation soared, borders eroded, and dependency deepened, all under progressive guises.This culminates in the 2025 NYC mayoral race, where DSA-endorsed Zohran Mamdani, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, shockingly exists as a frontrunner. Mamdani’s campaign, centered on affordability through government intervention, exemplifies how Marxism hides behind “working-class” rhetoric, threatening New York’s economy with rent controls and wealth taxes that stifle liberty.The destruction from this Marxist creep is profound. Culturally, it has fostered division, with “oppressor-oppressed” narratives leading to societal breakdown and minimized personal responsibility. Economically, welfare states like LBJ’s have trapped millions in poverty, ballooning national debt to $35 trillion and eroding innovation. In San Francisco, progressive “justice” experiments—Marxist in essence—resulted in rampant crime and homelessness, a microcosm of failed state control. Globally, U.S. weakness under Democrat regimes invited aggression, from Vietnam to Afghanistan, harming national security and prestige.Opponents argue Democrats aren’t truly Marxist, ...

  • Obamacare: A Marxist-Progressive Scam That Enriched Cronies & Impoverished Patients

    Obamacare: A Marxist-Progressive Scam That Enriched Cronies & Impoverished Patients
    Oct 31 2025
    The Affordable Care Act—Obamacare—was rammed through Congress in 2010 by a corrupt Marxist-Progressive Democrat machine that sneered at bipartisan input and bullied dissenters into silence. Fifteen years later, with premium hikes of 20–40 percent looming for 2026, the program’s abstract failure is no longer theoretical; it is a daily torment for millions of Americans who were promised utopia and handed a bill. The only unambiguous winners are the health-insurance cartels and Big Pharma, the very industries that ghost-wrote the 2,700-page monstrosity in smoke-filled back rooms.Start with the ledger of beneficiaries. Insurance giants—UnitedHealth, Anthem, Aetna, Humana—saw their stock prices triple within five years of passage. They lobbied for the individual mandate, the Medicaid expansion, and the risk-corridor bailouts that funneled taxpayer dollars straight into their coffers when their actuarial bets soured. Big Pharma, meanwhile, secured a ban on Medicare drug-price negotiation (which President Trump is confronting) and a guaranteed customer base of 20 million newly subsidized souls. The rest of us? We got higher deductibles, narrower networks, and the privilege of subsidizing this corporate welfare state.The imbecilic and corrupt Left crowed that 20 million “newly insured” would make America healthier. Instead, it simply overcrowded every waiting room from Bangor to San Diego. “Wellness visits”—free under Obamacare—became a federally subsidized hobby for the worried well, who now camp out for blood-pressure checks that used to cost $20 cash. Illegal immigrants, quietly folded into state exchanges and emergency Medicaid rolls, further clogged the system.A 2023 Commonwealth Fund study admitted average wait times for new-patient appointments had doubled since 2010; rural hospitals shuttered 140 facilities in the same span. More coverage, less care—exactly the Soviet bread-line outcome the central planners never admit.The original sales pitch was based on two bald-faced lies: premiums would fall by $2,500 per family, and “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.” Both exploded on contact with reality. The average family premium has nearly tripled since 2013, from $5,800 to $16,400, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Deductibles now routinely exceed $8,000—money patients must spend before the “insurance” kicks in, rendering the policy a catastrophic coupon at best. Networks shrank as insurers fled unprofitable markets; the promise of keeping your doctor morphed into keeping whichever overworked stranger is on call at the in-network clinic—if you can get an appointment before next year.Contrast this with the pre-Obamacare world, when nonprofit organizations like Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans dominated. These mutual organizations sold straightforward hospitalization insurance: you paid a modest premium, and if lightning struck, the hospital bill was covered. No $500 “free” colonoscopies, no 400-page explanation-of-benefits riddles, no surprise $3,000 facility fee for an MRI, no $30 aspirin. Premiums were a third of today’s costs, and the plans were actuarially sound because they weren’t forced to subsidize hypochondria and wellness spa days. The Marxist-Progressives demonized this system as “junk insurance,” but it was honest: it protected against catastrophe, not against the inconvenience of a $90 copay.Obamacare is not merely inefficient; it is a net destroyer of human life. A 2022 National Bureau of Economic Research paper found that states with the deepest ACA exchange penetration saw all-cause mortality rise relative to non-expansion states, as delayed care and financial stress outweighed any marginal gain in preventive screenings. People skip insulin, postpone cancer scans, and ration blood-pressure pills because the deductible is tantamount to a second mortgage. The program has hurt more Americans than it has helped—full stop—and must be rescinded root and branch.Rescission, however, is only half the cure. The federal government must then eviscerate the Deep State-enabled Big Pharma/Health Insurance Industrial Complex that Obamacare supercharged. Break the patent-evergreening rackets that keep Humira prices at $7,000 a month while the same molecule costs $600 in Europe. Repeal the insurance cartel exemptions under McCarran-Ferguson that let them collude on prices the way OPEC colludes on oil. Allow portability across state lines and genuine catastrophic plans to compete nationwide, free from wellness-visit mandates and maternity coverage requirements for 70-year-old men. Let doctors sell cash-based primary care without the 35 percent overhead of billing a labyrinthine ACA plan. Fracture the monopolies, and watch prices plummet the way LASIK and cosmetic surgery prices have—because those markets were never hijacked by this collusion.Health insurance is no longer a business; it is a government-sanctioned scam. The actuarial...

  • The Throat-Slashing Left: Marxist-Progressives' Descent into Violent Rhetoric

    The Throat-Slashing Left: Marxist-Progressives' Descent into Violent Rhetoric
    Oct 28 2025
    In a moment that crystallized the far-Left’s toxic embrace of brutality disguised as “passion,” Texas Democrat State Representative Jolanda Jones appeared on CNN’s OutFront with Erin Burnett on October 22, 2025. While railing against Republicans, Jones rejected Michelle Obama’s disingenuous yet iconic “When they go low, we go high” mantra, opting instead for a visceral display of savagery.“If they punch me in the face, I’m going across your neck,” Jones declared, slicing her hand dramatically across her throat in an unmistakable slashing gesture. She didn’t stop there, vowing that Democrats must “fight ugly” and “wipe out” every Republican in the upcoming midterms. This wasn’t hyperbole from a fringe activist; it was a sitting legislator, broadcast live on a major network, normalizing throat-slitting imagery against political opponents.Fact-checkers scrambled to spin it as a mere “metaphor,” but let’s call it what it is: bloodthirsty incitement from a Marxist-progressive who views conservatism as a mortal enemy worthy of decapitation. In an era where assassins target judges and politicians, Jones’s performance wasn’t comedy—it was a dog whistle to the deranged.This grotesque theater didn’t emerge in a vacuum. It’s the rotten fruit of decades-long cultivation by the Democrat elite, who have peddled violent rhetoric under the guise of “resistance.”Look no further than Barack Obama, the serpent-tongued architect of modern progressivism. During his 2008 campaign, Obama didn’t whisper sweet nothings about unity; he growled, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” Spoken at a Philadelphia fundraiser amid whispers of political dirty tricks, this wasn’t tough-guy bravado—it was a blueprint for escalation, framing electoral battles as armed standoffs.Obama’s words echoed the revolutionary zeal of his Chicago organizing days, where Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals preached power through intimidation. Fast-forward to 2025, and Obama himself warns of “political violence” in speeches mourning figures like Charlie Kirk, yet he never reckons with how his own escalatory language fertilized the ground for today’s assassins. Hypocrisy? No, it’s the hallmark of a movement that deploys violence as verb, then feigns shock when the knives come out.The rot spreads wider. California Governor Gavin Newsom, that Botoxed beacon of coastal elitism, has mastered the art of demonizing Republicans as existential threats, fueling a rhetoric that borders on calls for upheaval. In June 2025, as protests roiled Los Angeles, Newsom accused Donald Trump of “militarizing cities” and “inciting chaos,” painting conservatives as authoritarian overlords deserving of mass resistance. His blistering addresses frame GOP policies as “assaults on democracy,” urging followers to “fight back” without qualifiers—language that, in the hands of Antifa street warriors, translates to Molotov cocktails and brick-throwing.Newsom’s defenders claim it’s all “hyperbole,” but when ICE agents face a 1,000% spike in assaults amid his sanctuary-state posturing, the blood on the streets isn’t metaphorical. This is the governor who signed laws shielding violent criminals while decrying “gun violence” as if the weapons pull their own triggers—classic Marxist sleight-of-hand, blaming systems for the savagery of individuals.Enter Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Instagram socialist whose performative outrage often veers into provocation. AOC’s 2019 screed labeling GOP criticisms as “incitement of violence against women of color” was less a defense than a preemptive strike, equating dissent with assault. By 2023, she was accusing Trump rallies of priming followers for fascism through “inciting violence and hatred against Latinos and Black Americans,” rhetoric that absolves Left-wing agitators while priming her base for retaliation. AOC’s floor speeches, like her 2020 takedown of Rep. Ted Yoho, decry a “culture of accepting violence and violent language,” yet she amplifies it by doxxing critics and cheering “direct action” protests that devolve into riots. Her Squad comrades nod along, turning Congress into a coliseum where words are gladiatorial weapons, and losing means metaphorical (or literal) death.Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer embodies this institutional thuggery. In March 2020, outside the Supreme Court, he thundered at Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh: “You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.” Chief Justice Roberts rightly rebuked it as a threat, but Schumer’s half-apology only emboldened the mob—protesters soon swarmed justices’ homes, harbingers of the 2022 Dobbs assassination attempts. Even in 2025, Schumer’s shutdown brinkmanship and jabs at Republicans as “bastards“ keep the pressure cooker boiling. This ...

  • Unshackling America: Ditch the IRS & The Soul-Crushing Income Tax for Good

    Unshackling America: Ditch the IRS & The Soul-Crushing Income Tax for Good
    Oct 24 2025
    In the annals of American history, few inventions have proven as insidious and tyrannical as the federal income tax. Ratified in 1913 via the 16th Amendment, this beast was sold as a modest levy on the ultra-wealthy, a way to fund the bare bones of government without burdening the masses. Fast-forward over a century, and what do we have? A sprawling, 7,000-page monstrosity of a tax code that devours time, treasure, and trust from every working stiff in the nation. The income tax is a predatory racket, enforced by the IRS—a government Gestapo that audits grandmas for pennies while billionaires loophole their way to nauseating excess. The income tax isn’t just broken; it’s irredeemably corrupted, a Frankenstein’s monster stitched together with politically motivated carve-outs that reward cronies and punish the productive. Special interests lobby for exemptions on everything from green energy boondoggles to Hollywood subsidies, turning the code into a partisan playground where the highest bidder writes the rules.Enough! It’s time to abolish the IRS in its current form and pivot to a consumption tax—a fair, simple system that taxes what we spend, not what we earn. This transformation wouldn’t just streamline revenue; it would liberate every American taxpayer from the chains of fiscal oppression.Let’s start with the rot at the heart of the income tax: its irredeemable corruption. The code is a labyrinth of loopholes, deductions, and credits doled out like candy to favored constituencies. Remember the carried interest loophole that lets hedge fund managers pay lower rates than their secretaries? Or the mortgage interest deduction that balloons housing bubbles in Blue states while screwing renters? These aren’t oversights; they’re deliberate distortions, engineered by tax-and-spend politicians to buy votes and fund pet projects.The result? A system where compliance costs Americans $400 billion annually in preparation fees alone—more than the IRS collects in audits. It’s legalized extortion, where the powerful game the system and the rest of us foot the bill. A consumption tax flips this script. Instead of policing paychecks, it hits spending at the point of sale, like a national sales tax or value-added tax (VAT), but with legislated guardrails. No more favors for donors; just a flat rate on transactions. Pure, unadulterated fairness.And fairness extends beyond borders, which brings us to America’s true identity: we’re a consumer nation, not a producer’s paradise. The US boasts the world’s largest consumer market, with household spending driving 70% of GDP. We buy gadgets, groceries, and gas at a clip that dwarfs manufacturing or exports. Why punish savings and investment with income taxes that discourage work and risk-taking?A consumption tax aligns perfectly with this reality, taxing the fruits of our economy—our insatiable appetite for stuff—rather than the seeds of growth. It rewards thrift and innovation: save your earnings, invest in stocks or startups, and watch them compound tax-free until you spend. No more IRS busybodies rifling through your 401(k) or W-2s. This shift would supercharge economic dynamism, as Americans keep more of their labor’s reward upfront, fueling the entrepreneurial fire that built this country.To ensure this boon reaches the working class without the income tax’s phony “progressivity” that mostly subsidizes bureaucracy, we can exempt or tax at lower rates certain essentials like medicines and essential healthcare, basic foods, and even education spending—think school supplies or tuition for trade programs. This built-in relief benefits everyone but targets lower-income households, where necessities eat up the biggest chunk of budgets, shielding them from regressive hits while keeping the system simple. No sprawling Earned Income Tax Credit mazes or refund delays; just automatic compassion at the register, proving consumption taxes can be humane without the income tax’s hypocritical complexity.Here’s the genius kicker: even those who aren’t citizens but tread American soil—legal immigrants, tourists, and yes, those who exist unlawfully on American soil—would chip in by virtue of their purchases. Under an income tax regime, non-citizens often fly under the radar, working off-books or remitting earnings abroad without a dime to Uncle Sam. But buy a burger at McDonald’s or fill up at Exxon? Boom—tax remitted instantly.This isn’t about xenophobia; it’s pragmatic equity. Everyone enjoying the blessings of American infrastructure, security, and opportunity—from the Grand Canyon visitor to the border-crossing laborer—pays their share when they partake in our consumer bounty. No more freeloader debates; the system self-enforces through everyday commerce. It’s a revenue net that catches all fish, big and small.Collecting these taxes? A breeze compared to the IRS’s blood sport. Imagine: no more April 15th dread, no ...
