Socialist Dem Gov. frontrunner can’t

just say ‘no’ when asked if she wants
to cancel Thanksgiving replies
A socialist Dem running for Wisconsin governor became visibly uncomfortable and served up a word salad when asked whether she still stands by her call to “cancel Thanksgiving” because it is “celebrating colonialism.”
At the height of the Covid pandemic, Francesca Hong, who is the frontrunner to become the Democratic nominee in America’s Dairyland, said that the beloved holiday needs to be scrapped, and that America “should have done this in 1621.”
She added: “If it takes a worldwide pandemic for us to realize we should stop celebrating colonialism and the original superspreader event that killed Indegenous [sic] folx [sic] and women so be it.”
The prevailing talking point among the Democrat establishment in recent weeks, in response to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) insurgency taking place, has been to tout the supposed "big tent" nature of the party, where all kinds of differing viewpoints are allegedly welcome. That canned answer is quite revealing when one considers the interview DSA co-chair Megan Romer did with Fox News in late July, where the extremist DSA platform was laid bare for all to see: support for abolishing the presidency, the Senate, prisons, borders, the Supreme Court. And that's just for starters. Another DSA co-chair, Ashik Siddique, admitted in a different interview that "our goal is communism."
New York City's socialist bad boy mayor Zohran Mamdani just made his latest move against the city's business leaders — and this time, he hit the leadership of Gracie Mansion's own Mayor’s Fund Board of Advisors. Plus, I have the latest news on Mamdani's incredibly wrong-headed plan for city-owned grocery stores in today's double-header of socialist stupidity. The New York Post reported early Tuesday that Mamdani "axed the advisors of a major nonprofit that channels private sector donations to fund city initiatives in his latest hostile act toward New York business leaders."
Also, according to the Post, the board has "raised hundreds of millions since its 1995 inception –
A district court on Thursday blocked New York from enforcing its assisted suicide law against four orders of Catholic nuns and several Catholic healthcare ministries as their religious liberty lawsuit continues.
The temporary agreement, which New York agreed to, will shield the Catholic nuns and ministries from being forced to take any part in assisted suicides when the law legalizing the practice goes into effect on Wednesday, attorneys with Becket Fund for Religious Liberty announced. The agreement will be in effect while the court considers their request for a preliminary injunction.
On Monday, OutKick Founder Clay Travis announced that he is upping the ante and offering a $10 million wager to the WNBA: Your champion team vs. a boys’ high school state championship team.
If the WNBA wins, Travis pays them $10 million. If the boys win, the league pays Travis $10 million.
“Important announcement: I am upping my offer, 10 million dollars for a head-to-head basketball game between the defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces and a boy’s [sic] high school state title team of my choice,” Travis wrote. “If the Aces beat my team, I will give them $10 million.”
Francesca Hong, current Democrat gubernatorial candidate in the state of Wisconsin, said she once left a Culver’s fast food restaurant after she nearly experienced an “anxiety attack” due to “too many old white people.”
Hong shared her story about the anxiety episode in a 2019 post on X.
“I ate two bites of my kid’s cheeseburger at a Culver’s in black river falls and told him they ran out of ice cream. Mostly just wanted to leave bc I was on the verge of a anxiety attack,” she said.
Hong said the establishment had “to many old white people who didn’t think we spoke english.”
If former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra spent $7,000 per unaccompanied alien child (UAC) per night, but the conditions were awful, where did all that extra money go?
Since when does it cost thousands of dollars to put up a rough cot for a kid? This is so obviously fraud and money laundering that it's ridiculous. And while the Biden administration lost the 2024 election, none of its officials have faced jail for what they did, and Becerra is planning to be the next governor of California. How disgusting.
This is unsettling; on Tuesday, Fox News chief foreign correspondent, in a conversation on Iran with Fox News Fox & Friends hosts Lawrence Jones and Brian Kilmeade, provided some insight on the state of affairs in Iran. He also discussed the startling revelation that key classified information on the administration's plans for Iran may have been leaked.(snip) There are rumblings that the leak took the form of an email from the Pentagon, but as of this writing the administration has not confirmed nor denied that; U.S. Central Command simply commented that they had nothing to add to the report.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s universal childcare plan will cost 50% more than he advertised, according to a new study. The proposed program is estimated to cost a whopping $9 billion annually, approximately with an average cost per child roughly $27,000, according to the report from the Center for New York City Affairs, a nonpartisan research organization affiliated with the New School. “An estimated $8.7 to $9.3 billion would be needed annually to fund universal child care in New York City,” the report, which was released on Monday, states.
he left has fallen in love again with communism. (It’s not socialism—that’s just the wrapping paper.) American leftists, having learned nothing from the nihilism of socialism and communism, have adopted it again as protective covering for their sheer hatred of all good things: family, freedom, capitalism, love, and God.
History has reiterated, ad nauseam, the results of the death cult of communism, yet the Left is feeling its oats again, having lost at the ballot box with the Democrat party. Now, it is on the move, striking out with the extremism of communism.
When Texas Children’s Hospital’s “detransition clinic” opens in Houston, it will become the first facility of its kind, giving patients who regret life-altering procedures a chance at restorative care.
The facility, which has yet to announce an opening date, is part of an agreement with state and federal authorities to halt “gender-affirming care” at children’s hospitals while offering help to those who transitioned medically.
A 10-page settlement term sheet, recently obtained by The Epoch Times through an open records request to the Texas attorney general’s office, showed that services at the clinic will focus on multidisciplinary care.
Capitol Hill staffers typically rely on private conversations and faceless social media accounts to identify toxic offices — but a new platform is offering a verified place to anonymously rate and review members of Congress and the workplaces they run. Capitol CNCT, a program designed to centralize resources for congressional staffers, launched on July 20 a new tool called "The Scoop," where verified staffers can share anonymous, but verified, reviews of the offices where they're employed.
The vibrant, east Asian immigrant enclave of Flushing may be New York’s medical fraud capital.
A one-mile radius of the neighborhood boasts 77 Social Adult Daycares (SADCs), which bill Medicaid over $100 million a year, accounting for 14 percent of all daycare spending in the state, a Post investigation reveals.
When The Post visited some of largest — which are private businesses that have claimed between $20 and 40 million from Medicaid over the last six years — many storefronts were shuttered, and those that were open had empty rooms with no patients.
Given the unchecked flood of illegal immigration now taking place across the European continent and Britain, the headline above asks a valid question: Will Europe in the future exist only as a territory, but not as a civilization and a culture?
Spain is the latest flashpoint in Europe’s battle to maintain control over its borders.
Last week’s stunning border break in Ceuta, a North African enclave that has been part of Spain for over 400 years, should be a wake-up call for all of Europe and the U.S., too. More than 60,000 migrants crossed en masse, with at least 57 dying in the violent chaos of breaking through the border and swimming
In Northern Ireland, there have been recent protests about the numbers of Muslim migrants being allowed to settle in the territory, and about their placement in public housing ahead of the indigenous poor. Now someone in Northern Ireland has chosen to express his fury at this state of affairs by setting alight an effigy of an Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist and his mosque. For thus expressing his view, he has been charged with “incitement to hatred.” And that has caused quite a stir. More on the resulting uproar can be found here.

New York Democratic congressman Josh Riley's father-in-law cofounded an institute at a Chinese government-controlled university that routinely boosts the Chinese Communist Party's Belt and Road Initiative, a massive international economic strategy aimed at bringing foreign nations closer to Beijing and further from the United States, a Washington Free Beacon review found. Riley himself attended at least three of the group's events and later voted against legislation targeting Chinese influence peddling in the United States.
Riley's father-in-law, Harinder Kohli, is the founding director and
There are a lot of ways to describe what this proposed Massachusetts bill is, but I don't think 'diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)' is precisely what I would use, as some other major outlets are. I think it's much too sinister for a thoroughly discredited, despicable concept that's hopefully in its death throes while being relentlessly driven from business, academia, and government at all levels. Most DEI proponents have either gone to ground or given it grudgingly, faced with the overwhelming backlash against the inherent unfairness of something built on a false pretext of that very thing - fairness. Not to mention, amazingly enough, the lucrative cottage industry

Aryna Sabalenka, the current No. 1 women's tennis player in the world and a four-time major champion, is endorsing the Women’s Tennis Association’s (WTA) newly implemented genetic testing requirements for its athletes.
Speaking at a press conference during the Canadian Open, the Belarusian star discussed the need to preserve fairness on the women’s tour.
"Biologically, men are way stronger than women, so I feel like it would not really be fair for women to compete against biological men," she told reporters. Sabalenka added that she is fully prepared to undergo the genetic screening herself, calling the policy a necessary step to protect the integrity of the sport.
Intrepid investigative journalist Nick Shirley isn't one to shrink from danger. He had to escape from Cuba when spies followed him during his trip to the communist island and was forced to hire 24/7 security after exposing Somali fraud in Minneapolis. In his latest video, Shirley once again finds himself in serious peril when a Muslim man chases him through the streets while wielding a knife and threatening to stab him. The scene of the pursuit was the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta, which has made headlines in recent days after 60,000 illegal migrants poured in from Morocco.
Republican US Senator Darline Graham (R-SC) came out in favor of nuking the filibuster to get the SAVE Act passed.
Graham, the sister of former Senator Lindsey Graham, came out in support of the SAVE Act and says she is in favor of eliminating the senate filibuster to get it to pass. Darline made the comments during the South Carolina Republican US Senate debate.
Graham added that Democrats will abolish the filibuster if they take control of the US Senate anyway.
What a breath of fresh air.
This past weekend, Russia’s main domestic security agency, the FSB, announced that Telegram founder Pavel Durov has been charged with aiding terrorism and put on an international wanted list.
CBS News reported: The charges against Durov, who was born and began his career in Russia but later moved abroad, came as the Russian authorities restrict Telegram, one of the most popular messaging apps in the country – […] Soon after the charges were announced, Telegram’s official account on X posted an image of Durov making an obscene gesture with his middle finger. There was no other immediate comment from Durov or Telegram.”
NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers came out of the gates slinging darts on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday.
When the ESPN host invited the firebrand on the show, he may not have expected the legendary football player to unleash a rant for the ages on Dr. Anthony Fauci. McAfee opened up his line of questioning about a potential retirement, but Rodgers seized the opportunity to bash the disgraced doctor. "I’m gonna plead the Fifth," Rodgers quipped, "like that absolute coward Tony Fauci. Absolute coward. Are you kidding me? You get a pardon, and you pleaded over 100 times at the White House?
Some of my earliest memories are from a grocery store.
My mother, and later her sister, worked at a locally owned Key Market running the deli department. Baked goods, hot meals, sliced meats and fresh salads, and the best donuts you ever tasted made from scratch every day — it was a kid’s paradise. She would sometimes take me to work on Saturdays, and I’d help, doing everything but slicing the meat (age-restricted because it’s dangerous). It was fun for me, and I learned things I would not have learned watching cartoons.
DSA Co-Chair Admits: Not One Dem Has Asked
Her to Tone Down Calls to Abolish Senate, Presidency replies
Her to Tone Down Calls to Abolish Senate, Presidency replies
For all the talk out there of supposedly moderate Democrats terrified of the socialist takeover within their party, concerned that extremists will hurt their general election chances, you'd think some in the party would be urging them to tone things down a bit.
That doesn't appear to be the case.
In a recent NewsNation interview, DSA Co-Chair Megan Romer was asked whether Democratic operatives had been calling on her to rein in the group’s more radical proposals.
Proposals she has previously outlined, which include abolishing numerous core institutions
