Pete Hegseth's Nazi Methods to Improve Combativity of US Troops

The manly man, Pete Hegseth, a drunkard womanizer who was personally saved by Jesus (hahahahaaaa) gets his inspirations for policies from the Nazi playbook. Nazi scientists did test testosterone and other anabolic steroids on German soldiers during World War II to increase aggressiveness and physical strength. You might read some literature from Nazi apologists that that "theory" was debunked (you never learn how and by whom) as if merely saying so makes it a truth. Propagandists always inject into the news stream fake stories debunking historical facts as a way to cast a shadow of doubt on them. Zionists are the quintessential performers of this sort of revisionism of history on the Question of Palestine and its rape by foreign Zionist settlers from Europe.

After the synthesis of testosterone in 1935 by Nazi chemist Adolf Butenandt, steroids became one more tool in the eugenics programs the Nazis excelled at to improve the white Aryan race and prove its superiority over other races. They tested steroids on concentration camp prisoners first, then on their own soldiers to improve their combativeness and aggressivity. For example, the Nazis had a large-scale program of giving their soldiers pills of methamphetamine (Pervitin) to keep them alert and aggressive.

And now, the neo-Nazi-in-disguise, the drunkard womanizing white supremacist "Department of War" secretary Pete Hegseth, has been inspired by all the Nazi achievements - despite their brutality and inhumanity and their ultimate crushing defeat. He wants, like the Nazis did, to test US soldiers for their testosterone levels and find a "remedy" to this deficiency by, say, injecting soldiers with the male hormone to raise their level of aggressivity up to his standards of manliness and warmongering. Alternatively, he will demote those with low testosterone and perhaps even fire them.

Then again, as soldiers are increasingly fighting away from the battlefield, using joy sticks instead of rifles, and working from behind screens, all thanks to the same science and technology that Hegseth and his imbecile boss (and also the voodoo shaman RFK Jr.) have been undermining, one wonders what is the point of such a primitive method. Wonder no more: The Nazis did it, therefore I, the neo-Nazi moron Pete Hegseth, must copy it.

One wonders too what his scintillating policy will do with female soldiers who are naturally deficient in testosterone!

In one of his songs, Bob Dylan says "Join the army if you fail". Now many, though not all, soldiers become soldiers to serve. But many do so because they're poor, uneducated, or for a salary or because they don't know what to do with their lives. In fact thousands of foreign immigrants join the army in order to obtain a green card and become US citizens. So, before you decide whether to join the army, read below about what Pete Hegseth will do to you if you fail the testosterone test. Of course you could cheat by pre-injecting yourself before the test and pass. 

Here is what AI says about testosterone injections:

Testosterone injections can be harmful, particularly due to an increased short-term risk of cardiovascular events, stroke, heart attack, and death compared to topical forms like gels or patches.

Key risks associated with testosterone injections include:

Cardiovascular Issues: Injections cause "spikes" of super-normal testosterone levels, which research links to higher risks of heart problems, blood clots, and pulmonary embolism compared to sustained-release methods.

Serious Side Effects: Misuse or high doses can lead to liver disease, seizures, hypertension, and infertility (shrunken testicles, reduced sperm production).

Mental Health Effects: Users may experience aggression, mania, depression, hallucinations, or suicidal thoughts, alongside withdrawal symptoms like irritability and extreme tiredness if stopped suddenly.

Allergic & Respiratory Reactions: Specific formulations like testosterone undecanoate (Aveed) carry a risk of pulmonary oil microembolism (POME) and life-threatening anaphylaxis, requiring post-injection medical monitoring.

Prostate & Growth Risks: Therapy may stimulate benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), accelerate existing prostate cancer, or cause premature bone maturation in children, leading to stunted adult height.

Here's an after-thought, though, typical of the endemic corruption in MAGA's upper ranks. What if Hegseth and Trump and associates have stakes in testosterone-making companies? Compelling hundreds of thousands of young Americans to subject themselves to chemical mutilation could be a source of immense profits. 

Far-Fetched? Think again. Trump uses that tactic with warmongering. Why do you think Trump is one day a hawk on Iran (stocks tumble, he buys) then becomes a dove two days later (stocks rally, he sells)?

Pete Hegseth says soldiers over age 30 to be screened for testosterone deficiency

Pete Hegseth announced Wednesday that the Department of Defense will offer testosterone deficiency screening for soldiers 30 and older.

The US defense secretary unveiled plans for a new screening program for testosterone deficiency among troops that will work to ensure service members have the "right testosterone levels" to perform at their optimal condition in a video posted to X.

"I'm authorizing a new screening program for testosterone deficiency for our service members, ensuring you have the right testosterone levels to operate at your absolute best," Hegseth said in the video.

"As we know, the modern battlefield is brutal and unrelenting," he added. "It requires and demands maximum psychological and mental readiness, and by addressing these health markers early, we're keeping you on the leading edge of lethality, and giving you the same level of support that you give this nation – the absolute best."


"Warfighters" aged 30 and above will undergo annual tests as part of their health assessments, while those under 30 can choose to opt in, Hegseth said. Treatment, including testosterone replacement therapy, is voluntary and aimed at "restoring and optimizing" natural capabilities.

The initiative will prioritize long-term health, aimed at making sure troops remain "strong and resilient" for their entire lives. Hegseth also said that this program is part of the department's commitment to providing "elite medical care" and maintaining the physical and mental readiness required for modern combat.

Hegseth is not the first member of the Trump administration to address the so-called "crisis" of low testosterone, or "low T". Robert F Kennedy Jr, the 72-year-old health secretary, has spoken about injecting testosterone as part of his personal "anti-ageing regimen". In October, he warned, without evidence, that today's American teenagers have "50% of the testosterone of a 65-year-old man".

Testosterone, and concerns about a shortage thereof, has become a political fixation on the right. Alternative media commentators such as Tucker Carlson have decried a crisis of masculinity in films such as The End of Men, while influencers promote "T-maxxing" and direct-to-consumer testosterone injections.

In a statement, the American Urological Association said it "appreciates the Administration's understanding of the importance of screening men for testosterone deficiency", although "the diagnosis of testosterone deficiency should not be based on a single blood test alone."

Rather, the association said such a test could serve as a "baseline value" for individuals "who warrant further evaluation". The association also cautioned that a diagnosis of low-testosterone should not be made on one test alone, but rather based on symptoms and two separate tests.

The Trump administration has decried the use of hormones in gender affirming care, including both testosterone and estrogen, as "chemical and surgical mutilation". Hegseth's announcement did not address the more than 231,000 women who serve as active duty service members in the US military.

According to research published in the journal Social Science & Medicine, young men are being aggressively targeted online by influencers and wellness companies promoting hormone tests and treatments as essential to being a "real man", despite screening for low testosterone being medically unwarranted in most people in this age group.

Ready for more Trump Onanism on Six-Year-Old MAGA Stolen Election Hoax?

Not only will the senile old imbecile masturbate publicly tonight on his "stolen election" hoax and denial of his utter defeat in the 2020 elections, but he will invite more MAGA morons to join him as he prepares to unveil his new plan to lie and cheat, again, in order to deny his upcoming defeat in the November midterms and in 2028.

After six years, Trump brings his election obsession to primetime at the White House

In the weeks after Donald Trump lost to Joe Biden in 2020, the people that Trump appointed to run the Department of Justice, cybersecurity agencies and intelligence departments all said the same thing — the election was fair, legitimate and free of major fraud or foreign interference.

In his second term, Trump has tried to use the levers of power to rewrite that well-settled history, something that he's expected to try again on Thursday night with an address to the nation.

He has already appointed loyalists who have echoed his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen and made clear he expects everyone to follow his lead.

In an indication of how fealty to Trump's lies has become a litmus test for his administration, many of his nominees have steadfastly refused to directly answer the question of who won in 2020, preferring to tersely note that Biden became president. Jay Clayton, Trump's nominee to become the next national intelligence director, was the latest to repeat that formula in his confirmation hearing on Wednesday.

"He had the most electoral votes," Clayton said of Biden. "He was declared the winner."

"And who has the most electoral votes? Is it the person who wins or the person who loses?" asked Sen. Mark Kelly, an Arizona Democrat.

"That's your characterization," Clayton responded. "I'm not going to continue to do this."

The president has embraced baroque conspiracy theories about an international cabal that penetrated U.S. voting machines that have led to libel suits against his allies when they've repeated the claims.

Ahead of his speech, Trump has teased "really big news" and said "it doesn't get bigger, because without free and fair elections, you don't have a country."

Election experts fear another round of falsehoods.

"There has been six-plus years of consistent findings from the intelligence community and from everyone who's looked at it that there was no foreign interference in 2020, and our voting systems were secure and accurate," said Victoria Bassetti of States United, a nonpartisan group supporting the state officials who run elections. "I suppose the president could come up with some new assertion or new conclusion. It would fly in the face of all the evidence."
Huge range of reviews find same thing: No major fraud

There's been an enormous amount of reviews of the 2020 election. Trump and his allies lost dozens of court cases challenging the results, sometimes before judges the president appointed himself. Numerous audits, recounts and investigations, including several by Republicans, found no major problems with the vote or count.

Trump's own attorney general at the time, William Barr, said there were no signs of significant fraud, a statement that earned him Trump's ire. Trump's appointee to run the agency that watches for cyberattacks on American election infrastructure, Chris Krebs, declared that the 2020 election was secure and there were no signs of tampering — which led Trump to fire Krebs and demand an investigation of him upon returning to power in 2025.

An intelligence assessment released in the early days of the Biden administration but completed on Jan. 7, 2021, in Trump's last days in office, found no foreign tampering with vote totals or election equipment in 2020. And, last year, Trump signed a federal document as part of a regular review of possible foreign influence in elections that declared "there has been no evidence of a foreign power altering the outcome or vote tabulation in any United States election."
'Untold taxpayer resources' re-investigating the election

Since returning to office, Trump has launched a review of the 2020 vote. Federal agents have seized voting records in Democratic-run Fulton County, Georgia, and Republican-run Maricopa County, Arizona — two major metropolitan swing state counties that figured prominently in 2020 conspiracy theories.

Trump tapped Kurt Olsen, a prominent lawyer in the world of election conspiracy theorists, to head the probe. Olsen was previously sanctioned by the Arizona Supreme Court for false statements in a lawsuit he brought to challenge the 2022 loss of an Arizona governor's race by one of Trump's allies.

"He has committed untold taxpayer resources," said David Becker, a former Department of Justice lawyer who now leads the Center for Election Integrity & Research. "They've found nothing."

A search warrant affidavit filed in the Fulton County case was full of old, debunked conspiracy theories about the vote in the county. The FBI reassigned hundreds of analysts to go through the material.

Conspiracy theories have led to libel cases

Still, election conspiracy theorists have been buzzing — as they have ever since Election Day in 2020 — that Trump is about to reveal irrefutable evidence of massive election fraud.

One version alleges that Venezuela and possibly other countries manipulated U.S. voting machines to deprive Trump of a victory. Venezuela's former president, Nicolas Maduro, is currently awaiting trial in Manhattan on federal charges of drug trafficking after the U.S. military took him from that country's capital.

Those theories have led to massive payouts in libel lawsuits brought by voting machine companies and others. Fox News paid $787.5 million to settle one lawsuit over it airing those claims and others on the air in late 2020. Conservative networks Newsmax and One America News have also reached settlements with voting companies over airing those allegations.

A Denver jury found that Mike Lindell, a prominent election conspiracy theorist who Trump this week endorsed as a Republican candidate for governor in Minnesota, defamed an employee with a voting machine company by calling him a traitor.

Becker noted there has been a clear pattern over the six years of election conspiracy theories surrounding Trump's loss. Conspiracy theorists, including Trump himself, make sweeping allegations in public, sometimes with what seems to be massive reams of documentation from elaborate election databases. But they've lost regularly in court, where the threshold is whether there's any factual basis to the claims.

He suggested that anything new from Trump on elections be subjected to that same scrutiny.

"If someone's alleging a crime that occurred six years ago, we shouldn't be responding to their claims," Becker said. "We should be demanding they meet the burden of proof."

Trump's Message to ICE: Please Kill More Innocent Dark-skinned People in the Streets

Trump says ICE won't halt traffic stops after recent fatal shootings
Reuters
Updated Wed, July 15, 2026



WASHINGTON, July 15 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said federal immigration agents won't end vehicle stops, one day after officials announced a ‌temporary pause in such stops after agents fatally shot two men in ‌Texas and Maine.

"We must be strong, tough, and smart, and we CANNOT give up one of I.C.E.'s most ​important and effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP!" Trump wrote in a social media post.

On Tuesday, Trump administration officials said the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency had ordered its officers to suspend most vehicle stops around the country after two men were ‌shot and killed by ICE ⁠agents during such stops six days apart.

An ICE agent on Monday killed a driver from Colombia in the coastal Maine town of ⁠Biddeford, about 15 miles (24 km) south of Portland. An ICE officer in Houston on July 7 fatally shot a Mexican national while trying to stop his vehicle.

"It's not a policy ​change, ​it's a temporary pause," Trump's border czar Tom ​Homan told Fox News Channel ‌in an interview on Tuesday referring to the vehicle stop suspension.

"This is going to be a short-term review to make sure ICE agents are safe and doing the right thing," Homan told the television network, adding that officers will use other options to make arrests.

The back-to-back shootings sparked protests in Maine, Houston and Boston and raised questions ‌over ICE agents' lack of body cameras.

The U.S. ​Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, has ​characterized both men as "illegal aliens" but ​acknowledged neither was the intended target of deportation operations that led ‌to their deaths.

Federal authorities have offered no ​evidence to support ​contentions that either man posed a threat to ICE agents or the public at large justifying the use of lethal force to stop them.

At least seven ​people have been shot dead ‌during federal immigration enforcement operations since January 2025, when Trump launched mass ​deportations after returning to office following campaign promises of an immigration crackdown.

The Democrat Party Should Get Rid of Chameleon Fetterman and his Disgusting Looks

Bearded

Goatee AND Trump Lover

Mustached in Shorts

John Fetterman has not grown up yet. He's stuck in his teenage years with an underdeveloped brain.

Nearly every position John Fetterman has taken on nearly every issue has been against the Democrats and with the MAGA republican morons. Why is he still in the Democrat Party? If he has any backbone, the chubby moron should get out of the way so the Democrats find a substitute to run for his Senate seat in 2028.

The man knows it is downhill from now for the MAGA inbred degenerates. By 2028, he will be seen as a traitor by the Democrats who will not forgive him. He'll find himself clutching to the tailcoats of residual MAGA morons to get re-elected. Or maybe, he'll go back to his shed in the backwoods of Pennsylvania.

Fetterman's principles are not even in a compromise centrist grey zone. He is a full-fledged MAGA moron, obese to boot, dumb as a doorknob, always dressed like a teenage gangster that never grew up in shorts and hoodie, and with an on-off mustache and a dirty goatee.

His latest pukogenic nauseating position is in support of the genocidal Zionist colony in Palestine, which he is using to blackmail the Democrats. Given the massive lurch of the American people against the genocidal Zionists, after witnessing the barbarian killing of 100,000 innocent Palestinians by Holocaust survivors, the ethnic cleansing taking place every day in illegally-occupied Palestine, and the deliberate starvation and mass-murder of Palestinian children, the Democrat Party should have no place for criminal apologists like Fetterman. 

If this fatso baldie is unhappy to be with the Democrats, then the hell with him. Good riddance. Unprincipled fence-sitters like him are a Trojan horse that should not be trusted. The moment in America is no longer for centrist, ambiguous, watered down and treasonous positions: We need a clear and tough stance by the Democrats against the clear tough stance of the MAGA republicans. 

Get rid of him.

Fetterman warns he would leave Democratic Party if it turns its back on Israel

Fetterman warns he would leave Democratic Party if it turns its back on Israel

Maverick Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) has said he has "no plans" to leave the Democratic Party, but he warned on Wednesday that if Democrats completely turn their backs on U.S. support for Israel, that would cross a red line that could push him out of the party.

"If our party ever becomes — and just makes it official — the anti-Israel party, that's when I would leave because that's been a moral clarity for me," he said during an interview at the Hill Nation Summit in Washington.

Fetterman said he "can't understand why the Democratic Party" — which shares an array of values with Israel as an important democracy in the Middle East — would turn against a long-standing ally.

The Pennsylvania Democrat says he has a major "concern" over the trajectory of many Democrats who have become increasingly critical of U.S. aid for Israel amid growing pressure from the party's progressive base.

"My long-term concern has been with the Democratic Party, as I am a member of that, is that our party is going to back away and turn their back to Israel," he said.

Fetterman cited Democratic support for an amendment sponsored by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) to cut off $3.3 billion in annual security assistance to Israel and the success of progressive candidates who are harshly critical of Israel in Democratic primaries.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) and House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (Mass.), the No. 1 and No. 2 ranking House Democrats, split over Massie's amendment, with Jeffries opposing it and Clark supporting it.

Fetterman said Clark's support for the amendment reflects a trend in the broader party.

"You look at the kinds of individuals that are winning our recent primaries," he said. "It's becoming more anti-, anti-Israel and hostile to people" who are pro-Israel.

He criticized fellow Democrats who "are trying to ingratiate ourselves with that segment of the base of our voters are intensely, intensely anti-Israel."

Fetterman acknowledged he has been approached by Republicans about leaving the Democratic Party but declined to divulge "private conversations."

The senator expressed concern over progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed's strong performance in polls in the Michigan Senate Democratic primary. He warned that Democrats will have to pour millions of additional dollars into the battleground state to be competitive in November if he is the nominee.

"Rogers just barely, barely lost in '24," Fetterman said, referring to former Rep. Mike Rogers (R), the Republican candidate who narrowly lost the 2024 Michigan Senate race.

"If El-Sayed wins, then that puts Michigan much more in play for us and would require us to spend more money. What's defined El-Sayed is the more anti-Israel and hostile-to-Israel thing," Fetterman said.

He also criticized El-Sayed and other progressive candidates' past comments expressing support for the "defund the police" movement, questioning whether Democrats truly learned the lessons of losing the 2024 presidential election.

"Now here's more Democrats to 'defund the police.' Here we are back to part of the worst impulses that we just can't resist. We forgot the crazy things that we said, and that cost us the election in 2024. Now we want to revisit that — if anything they're coming back in the strongest kind of terms. Look at the people who are winning," he said.

Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist candidate backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), deleted a social media account in which she called for abolishing police, borders and prisons, and claimed Israel doesn't exist. Avila Chevalier, a 32-year-old activist, defeated Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-N.Y.) in the Democratic primary for New York's 13th Congressional District.

Fetterman also expressed frustration with fellow Democratic senators who backed progressive insurgent candidate Graham Platner in the critical Maine Senate race, despite the fact that he was not carefully vetted and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) had intensively recruited Democratic Gov. Janet Mills to run for the Maine Senate seat.

Fetterman said he was "angry" that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) championed Platner so forcefully and was reluctant to withdraw his support even after The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal reported in early June troubling allegations about the candidate's past behavior.

"As a Democrat, I am angry at people like Bernie Sanders, that pushed that accused rapist. Why did so many people on that left embrace that accused rapist?" he said, referring to Platner.

"What was the appeal? Was it no record in public service? Was it the record of the Nazi ink? Was it the crazy things he said online? What was the appeal, roughing up his ex-girlfriends?" he asked.

"Why did you push these people? Why did you buy in and then plunge that most consequential Senate race now into chaos?" Fetterman fumed, arguing the implosion of Platner's campaign has made it "more difficult" to beat Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and win control of the Senate.

Fetterman demanded to know why his Democratic colleagues haven't apologized for backing Platner.

Platner ended his campaign after Jenny Racicot, a 41-year-old Maine woman, accused him of raping her in 2021.

"Did Van Hollen apologize to the victim? I don't know, I didn't see it. The same with Bernie," Fetterman said, referring to Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), a member of the group of Senate Democratic progressives who call themselves the "Fight Club," and who initially backed Platner but then withdrew his support along with many other Democrats.

"Where's the accountability?" Fetterman asked. "Imagine if I would have done that and pushed that kind of individual."

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Monday dodged questions about whether she regretted backing Platner but made it clear that she called for him to end his campaign.

"I asked Platner to withdraw from the race. He has withdrawn. Now it's time for us to get a candidate in Maine and to take back the majority here in the Senate," she said.

The Battle is Not Between Weak Pseudo-Centrist Democrats and Real Democrats

When you have a Radical Extremist Right-Wing Fascist in power who is in the process of dismantling everything America stands for, the moment is not for weak elitist traditionalist "business-as-usual" Democrats to claim to be centrists. Enough of Fetterman-like Republican chameleons camouflaged as Democrats under a hooded sweatshirt.

When the Right-wing have seized power by cheating and lying to the American people in order to implement their neo-KKK racist, extremist white supremacist, Christian nationalist, agenda (Project 2025), it behooves the shy and timid Democrats to stop playing defense against Donald Trump's rape of America and adopt a more aggressive stance to assert their rightful place in American politics.

Have those who claim to be centrist Democrats allied themselves with those centrist Republicans who have, for the past ten years, enabled, protected and kept the gates open for the Trump barbarians to raid the henhouse and turn it into an uncivilized banana republic?

As long as the establishment GOP keeps protecting Trump and toeing the line behind his destruction of America, there is no need for Democrats to move to the center. THERE ARE NO CENTRIST REPUBLICANS ANYMORE. WHY SHOULD THERE BE CENTRIST DEMOCRATS?

Contrary to Trump's Fascist propaganda, the Democratic Socialists are not the terrifying communists he wants to use as a scarecrow to force, once again, the average American into submission to his radicalized and un-American America. The Democratic Socialists are the exact counterweight needed to stop the Right-wing barbarians from continuing their rape of the country.

The "centrist" Democrats want to jump into the swamp, not drain it. They want to go back to the good old days of chumming with centrist Republicans. 

But THERE ARE NO CENTRIST REPUBLICANS TO CHUM WITH ANY LONGER. For ten years, these centrist Republicans have disrobed and exposed themselves for the barbarian lackeys of Donald Trump. How can any Democrat trust them?

The stunning victories by Socialist and Progressive candidates in congressional districts in New York City and Colorado have revealed the thirst by the American people for an assertive Democrat Party with the muscle to stand up and confront the right-wing extremism that inhabits the White House. Centrist Democrats have proven themselves poor opponents of Donald Trump.

In the Midwest, first-time Democrat Socialist candidate Melat Kiros beat to a pulp 15-term establishment "centrist" Democrat Diana DeGette in last week's primary in Denver's 1st Congressional District.

A trio of genuine (not fake) Democratic congressional candidates' victories, all backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, have emboldened progressives as they try to turn their upsets into a national campaign against Donald Trump's radical Far-Right GOP slaves and vassals.

Former Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri predicted that St. Louis will repeat the Colorado upset. Bush is running to win back her seat in the St. Louis 1st Congressional District. The genuine Democrats have also set their eyes on Michigan, which holds its primary on the same day as Missouri on Aug. 4. Then on Aug. 11, Wisconsin, which used to be the capital of socialist America in the early 20th century, will hold its primary elections. That's where DSA-backed state Rep. Francesca Hong is on the rise among a crowded field of candidates in the race to succeed retiring Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.

This wave of progressive wins after a disastrous, incompetent and treasonous right-wing Trump decade is a bellwether of where the country stands. We need rational policies that lift the Trump-degraded middle class back to the center and sets the wealthy billionaires back from their grand theft of America.

It's undeniable that progressives are gaining momentum and attention, and that is because the American people have finally seen the hypocrisy of Trump's Far Right extremism and are listening to solutions like "Medicare-for-all," the Green New Deal, higher taxes on the rich and abolishing ICE-GESTAPO.

Here is a list of the up-and-coming Democrats who have the mojo to trash the scheming, cheating, neo-KKK dick-taitor and his followers. I don't care what you call them, Socialists, Progressives, Working Families Party, or whatever, as long as they are willing to fight Trump and his Republican Mafia tooth and nail. They are the REAL GENUINE DEMOCRATS who no longer want to go back to the extinct compromise-based approach to politics that the Republican Trump-asskissers have dismantled for no return as they cowered in fear of the Great Moron in the White Outhouse. I care for their message of bringing justice and real democracy for the many and not for the few to the vast majority of Americans, of lifting the middle class out of the mendacious situation in which Trump has thrown them as he, his family and his friends make billions and billions over their backs and over every ounce of decency that this country has always had.

Charles Booker - Kentucky Senate
Working Families Party (WFP)-backed Charles Booker is making his third bid for the Senate in red-leaning Kentucky. Booker defeated Amy McGrath in last May's primary and is the underdog in the general election against GOP Rep. Andy Barr. The winner will succeed Trump's butler in the Senate Mitch McConnell who is, thank God, dying after four decades or radical right-winging there. I have no qualms expressing no empathy for a dying old man because that is exactly what Trump does.

Bob Brooks - Pennsylvania 7th Congressional District
Brooks won the May Democratic primary in a swing district in northeast Pennsylvania, and is challenging incumbent GOP Rep. Ryan Mackenzie in a midterm race.

Connie Chan - California 11th Congressional District
Chan, an immigrant born in Hong Kong (which will be obviously used by the neanderthal MAGA Republicans to undermine her), serves on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. She is running to succeed retiring former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Fellow Democrat Scott Wiener, a state senator, will face off with Chan in the general election in November.

Darializa Avila Chevalier - New York 13th Congressional District
Chevalier, a DSA member who was also backed by the Justice Democrats, stunned political circles from coast to coast in the June New York primary by ousting incumbent Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat, chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

Chevalier is a down-to-earth common-sense community organizer who has not feared, like so many Zionist-terror-stricken Americans, criticizing the infallible genocidal Golden Calf, Israel, is considered the overwhelming favorite in the general election favorite in northern Manhattan and the Bronx.

Alissa Ellman - New York 24th Congressional District
Ellman, a U.S. Army veteran, won the June Democratic primary in the upstate New York congressional district. Ellman, who worked at the Veterans Administration before being fired by Elon Musk's DOGE cuts, faces Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney whose victory is no longer assured in the traditionally red district of Upstate New York.

Chris Galant - New York 1st Congressional District
Galant won the Democratic nomination in New York's June primary and will face off with the MAGA-establishment GOP Rep. Nick LaLota in eastern end and north shore of Long Island.

Aaron Gies - New York 23rd Congressional District
A college professor, Geis is another candidate supported by the WFP that won his Democratic primary election in New York in a landslide. He will confront a corrupt traditionalist pro-Trump incumbent MAGA Republican Nick Langworthy in western New York.

Angela Gonzales-Torres - California 34th Congressional District
Gonzales-Torres, a former neighborhood council president who also worked in the Los Angeles mayor's office, advanced to the general election in last month's California primary. Gonzales-Torres will likely defeat incumbent centrist Democrat Jimmy Gomez in the solidly blue congressional district anchored in Los Angeles.

Deb Haaland - New Mexico governor
Haaland, a former congresswoman who made history as the first Native American to serve as a Cabinet secretary during her tenure running the Interior Department in then-President Joe Biden's administration, is the Democratic nominee for New Mexico governor. Haaland is considered the favorite as she faces off in the general election against Republican Gregg Hull in the southwestern district of the state.

Pat Halpin - New York 2nd Congressional District
Halpin, is the Democratic congressional nominee for a seat that covers the central portions of Long Island's South Shore. Halpin will certainly defeat the incumbent MAGA rep. Andrew Garbarino in the general election.

Adam Hamawy - New Jersey 12th Congressional District
Hamawy is a former U.S. Army combat surgeon who grabbed attention in 2024 as part of a volunteer team of American doctors who went to Gaza to alleviate the suffering of the innocent Palestinians from the Zionist genocide there. Hamawy won the party's congressional primary in the race to succeed retiring Progressive Democratic Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman.

Frederick Douglass Haynes III - Texas 30th Congressional District
Haynes, the senior pastor of Friendship-West Baptist Church in Dallas, won the March Democratic primary in a landslide in the race to succeed Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who unsuccessfully ran for the Senate instead of seeking re-election. Haynes is the overwhelming favorite against MAGA Republican Everett Jackson in a district in the southern portions of Dallas.

Melat Kiros - Colorado 1st Congressional District
The DSA-endorsed Kiros defeated establishment Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette, who has served in Congress for 30 years representing the Denver seat. The 29-year-old first-time candidate and attorney, who is also backed by the JD and WFP, will certainly win now in the Democrat-dominated district.

Brad Lander - New York 10th Congressional District
Supported by Mamdani and WFP, Lander ousted incumbent Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman in New York's June primary. The former New York City comptroller ran against Mamdani in last year's mayoral primary before becoming one of his top allies in the general election. Lander is the clear favorite in the general election in the deep blue district which covers lower Manhattan and the northwestern neighborhoods of Brooklyn.

Brian Poindexter - Ohio 7th Congressional District
Poindexter, an iron worker and a councilman in a small city in suburban Cleveland, is backed by the WFP. He'll take on GOP Rep. Max Miller in the right-leaning district in the general election.

Chris Rabb - Pennsylvania 3rd Congressional District
Rabb won the June Pennsylvania primary in the Philadelphia anchored district in the race to succeed retiring Democratic Rep. Dwight Evans. Rabb is the overwhelming favorite in that race.

Claire Valdez - New York 7th Congressional District
Valdez, a state lawmaker endorsed by the DSA, won New York's June congressional primary to succeed retiring Rep. Nydia Velázquez in a district that includes parts of Brooklyn and Queens. Valez defeated Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso for the Democratic nomination and is the clear favorite to win in November in the Democrat-dominated district.

Mai Vang - California 7th Congressional District
Vang, a Sacramento city councilor, slightly edged Democratic Rep. Doris Matsui in the state's June nonpartisan primary. Vang and Matsui will face off again in November's general election for the solidly blue seat, which includes downtown Sacramento and suburban areas.

Randy Villegas - California 22nd Congressional District
Villegas, a school board trustee in the San Joaquin Valley city of Visalia, came in second to MAGA Republican Rep. David Valadao in California's June primary. Villegas, a Democrat, beat fellow Democrat Jasmeet Bains to advance to the general election against Valadao in the crucial swing district race.

Aisha Wahab - California 14th Congressional District
Wahab came in first in California's primary and will face off with fellow Democrat Melissa Hernandez in the general election in the district south and southwest of Oakland. The winner in November will fill the seat left vacant when then-Rep. Eric Swalwell, who was running for governor, ended his campaign and resigned from Congress in April amid scandal involving sexual misconduct allegations.

Rep. Alma Adams - North Carolina 12th Congressional District
Adams has represented a blue district anchored in Charlotte and surrounding Mecklenburg County for nearly a dozen years. Adams cruised to renomination in the early March primary and is considered the clear frontrunner against MAGA challenger Jack Codiga, a finance professional.

Rep. Greg Cesar - Texas 37th Congressional District
Cesar, a former Austin city councilman and chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, currently represents the state's 35th district, but is running for re-election in the recently redrawn 37th District. The Texas MAGA barbarians gerrymandered the districts in a blatant attempt at preventing any Democrat from winning.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal - Washington 7th Congressional District
Jayapal, the first Indian American woman elected to Congress, for a decade has represented a Seattle-based district. Jayapal served as chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus for four years earlier this decade, is very likely to be re-elected in the Pacific Northwest district.

Rep. Tim Kennedy - New York 26th Congressional District
Kennedy represents a western New York district that stretches from Buffalo to Niagara Falls. Kennedy is the favorite for re-election this autumn in his district.

Rep. Ro Khanna - California 17th Congressional District
Khanna, one of the most prominent progressive lawmakers in the House who never shied away from standing up to Trump, was first elected to Congress a decade ago by ousting Democratic incumbent Rep. Mike Honda. Khanna is also a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender and will surely win in the district located in the South Bay and East Bay portions of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Rep. Summer Lee - Pennsylvania 12th Congressional District
Lee, the first Black woman to represent Pennsylvania in Congress, is a former DSA member and part of the Squad. Lee is expected to cruise to re-election this fall in a district that includes much of Pittsburgh and its eastern suburbs.

Rep. John Mannion - New York 22nd Congressional District
A former high school biology teacher, Mannion served as a state lawmaker before winning election to Congress in 2024. Mannion is favored to win re-election in the upstate New York district that includes Syracuse and Utica.

Rep. LaMonica McIver - New Jersey 10th Congressional District
McIver, a former Newark municipal council member, represents an urban and suburban district in northern New Jersey. She drew national attention last year when she was among a group of Democrats attempting to make a congressional oversight visit to an ICE facility in Newark. She was later indicted under orders from Trump himself for "forcibly impeding and interfering with federal officers" during the visit.

Rep. Analilia Mejia - New Jersey 11th Congressional District
Mejia, the co-director of the nonprofit progressive advocacy group, won a special election in April in the race to succeed now Gov. Mikie Sherrill, who stepped down from Congress after winning last November's gubernatorial election. Mejia represents a northern New Jersey seat west of New York City, and is favored to secure a full term in the district.

Rep. Joe Morelle - New York 25th Congressional District
A former New York state Assembly majority leader, Morelle was elected to Congress in 2018. Morelle is on a glide path to re-election in the Democratic-dominated upstate New York district anchored in Rochester.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - New York 14th Congressional District
Eight years after ousting then-House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley in a shocking primary upset, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's political options look brighter than ever. The four-term progressive firebrand from New York City has irked Donald Trump who made sexist remarks about her. She is eyeing a potential 2028 bid for the White House or a possible challenge to longtime Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer whose star has dimmed in his constant attempts to compromise with uncompromising extremist Donald Dumb. Ocasio-Cortez, best known by her acronym AOC, is the most visible member of the Squad. She's expected to cruise to re-election this autumn in a dark blue district that covers parts of the Bronx and Queens.

Rep. Ilhan Omar - Minnesota 5th Congressional District
Omar, the fist Somali American elected to Congress and the first woman of color to represent Minnesota, is also a member of the Squad. Omar is one of the first two Muslim women elected to U.S. Congress. Like AOC, Omar has been a frequent target of Donald Trump's sexist, racist and islamophobic rage. He even accused her of incest to undermine her. Her district includes the entire city of Minneapolis and some of its inner suburbs.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley - Massachusetts 7th Congressional District
Pressley, a former Boston city councilor, won election to Congress in 2018 by ousting longtime Democratic establishment weakling Rep. Michael Capuano in the Democratic primary. The first Black woman elected to Congress from Massachusetts, Pressley is another well-known member of the Squad. She is an overwhelming favorite for re-election in a Democrat-dominated district that includes much of Boston and some of the city's suburbs.

Rep. Delia Ramirez - Illinois 3rd Congressional District
The daughter of undocumented immigrants, Ramirez served as a state lawmaker before winning election to Congress in 2022. Ramirez is all but certain to win re-election this fall in her district that includes neighborhoods in northwestern Chicago and the city's western suburbs.

Rep. Josh Riley - New York 19th Congressional District
Riley is seeking a second term in a competitive and large district located in New York's Catskills, Hudson Valley, greater Capital District, Southern Tier and Finger Lakes regions. He will face off this autumn against Republican state Sen. Peter Oberacker.

Rep. Pat Ryan - New York 18th Congressional District
Ryan, a West Point graduate who served two tours of duty in the Iraq war and was awarded two Bronze Stars, co-founded a software company following his military career and later served as Ulster County executive. Ryan is likely to win re-election this autumn in a district that includes some of New York City's northern suburbs and exurbs, as well as the Hudson Valley cities of Newburg, Kingston, and Poughkeepsie.

Rep. Lateefah Simon - California 12th Congressional District
Simon, who served on Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) board of directors and as a California University System trustee, was elected to Congress in 2024, succeeding longtime Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee. Simon is the first member of Congress known to be born legally blind in both eyes, and the first Muslim member from California. Her re-election is certain in the district that includes Oakland and surrounding Alameda County.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib - Michigan 12th Congressional District
First elected to the House in 2018, Tlaib, along with Ilhan Omar, is one of the first two Muslim women in Congress. A former state lawmaker, Tlaib and fellow Squad member Ocasio-Cortez are the first female DSA members to serve in Congress. Tlaib is expected to easily secure re-election. During her tenure, the Palestinian-born congresswoman has been a vocal critic of both the Trump and Biden administrations, is sharply critical of Israel, and calls for abolishing ICE.

Rep. Paul Tonko - New York 20th Congressional District
A longtime former state lawmaker, Tonko was first elected to Congress in 2008. Known as a staunch progressive, Tonko is heavily favored to win re-election in a left-leaning seat that includes New York's Capital District as well as Saratoga.

Dumb MAGA Morons Prefer Hifalutin Conspiracies to Reason and Science....

Today, America's MAGA idiots are serving a paella of conspiracy theories. Enjoy.

.... No wonder they elected someone just a tad less dumb than them, namely Donald Dumb. But be reassured, he's dumb alright, but he's also a criminal, and that is the dangerous combination that got him elected by those dumber than him, and with which he is wrecking the country.

Remember how the now-repentant MAGA imbecile from Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG), said that Jews are already somewhere up in the cosmos  pointing lasers at earth to start wildfires. With a primitive brain like this, how can one believe that these MAGA racist antisemites "love" Israel? In fact, they love Israel not because of its Jews, but in spite of its Jews and for the sole reason that Israel for them is an American military base and the Israeli army is an American militia. Which is why I predict that once they no longer have any use for Israel (when oil and gas dry up in the Arabian desert), they will dump it and move on to new ventures.

Just like her super-moron sister Laura Loomer, MTG is the prototype of the dumb American southerner who believes that God created Southern White Inbred Americans with the mission of running the world and that all other "darker" people are like the animals that the garbage Torah pontificates about, i.e. they are created by God to serve the only real humans, the American white morons, the biblical heirs to the genocidal Hebrew barbarians and their bloody rape of Palestinian Canaan. They believe that their brand of the Christian religion (the Evangelical, which is the latest in a long series of mutations and schisms) is the true one, just like the Muslims who believe that their barbaric monotheistic cult is the latest "revelation" and Mohammed is the "last" prophet, or like the primitive orthodox Jews who still believe that their god Yahweh "chose" them some 3,000 years ago as the Queen Tribe of stinking camel-herding nomads in a barbarism pageant during the Bronze Age.

Here is a Wikipedia rundown of MTG's mind-shattering conspiracy theories (which I think she discovers after a moonshining partouze behind her white trash trailer somewhere in the boonies of the backward state of Georgia:

Greene has promoted Islamophobic, antisemitic, and white supremacist views including the white genocide conspiracy theory, as well as QAnon, and Pizzagate. She has amplified conspiracy theories that allege government involvement in mass shootings in the United States, implicate the Clinton family in murder, and suggest the attacks of 9/11 were a hoax. Before running for Congress, Greene supported calls to execute prominent Democratic Party politicians, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. As a congresswoman, she equated the Democratic Party with Nazis, and compared COVID-19 safety measures to the persecution of Jews during the Holocaust. During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Greene promoted Russian propaganda and praised its president Vladimir Putin. Greene identifies as a Christian nationalist.

And now a new "florilège" of conspiracies has emerged after the death of Lady Lindsey and the semi-mysterious disappearance of the very old and senile Senator Mitch McConnell. These southern neo-KKK bastards have such a wild imagination because they lack reason. They do not believe in reason, science and technology and generally use the Torah as the source of all knowledge (like Muslims do with the Koran). Hence, they have to fill the deep crevasses in their shriveled brains (because of brainwashing, inbreeding and methanol fermentation) with stuff they make up.

The interesting thing about these really idiotic people is that they claim to believe in some Big Zombie in the Sky called God. Yet, they never involve "God" as an actor or a conspirator, although he would add a great deal to their theories. After all, He is omnipotent, omniscient and is capable of really weird things like raising the dead or appointing Donald Dumb as president.

The reason they push God out of their conspiracy imaginings is because attributing someone's death to God would be a killer of all their imagined conspiracies. You would assume that when someone dies, a typical Christian (or other numskull religious imbecile) would attribute the death to "God's calling that someone back". But it's never the case with these barbarians.

GOP conspiracy theories run wild after Lindsey Graham’s death
Analysis by Aaron Blake, CNN
Tue, July 14, 2026

Prominent figures in the conservative and MAGA movements have led the charge in spreading baseless conspiracy theories about the absence of Sen. Mitch McConnell and now the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham.

It's part of a pattern in which conspiracy theories about the deaths and ailments of prominent Republicans are increasingly coming from inside the party's own house — with little in the way of efforts to combat it from GOP and MAGA leaders.

At Charlie Kirk's memorial service last year, for example, Tucker Carlson seemed to play footsy with the burgeoning but baseless conspiracy theories that Israel was behind Kirk's killing. He compared the conservative activist's death to "guys sitting around eating hummus" in Jerusalem plotting to kill Jesus Christ.

But save for a few conservative critics, prominent Republicans largely ignored it.

And when Carlson was even more direct last month — saying Kirk "was most likely murdered for his evolving views on Israel," a claim that remains unfounded — Republicans still largely ignored it, despite it coming from a conservative thought leader who is close to Vice President JD Vance.

Republicans have similarly ignored the much more in-your-face campaign to promote this conspiracy theory from the highly popular podcaster Candace Owens.

And some key right-leaning figures have even suggested the assassination attempts against President Donald Trump might not be what they seem.

All of it suggests a GOP base that has become more conspiratorial in the Trump era is turning its theories inward.

The McConnell theories

The McConnell theories began with yet another close ally of the White House, far-right activist Laura Loomer. After the Kentucky Republican had been missing for three weeks with few details from his office, Loomer claimed a source had told her the senator was "brain dead" and "not coming back."

Others in the MAGA movement picked up the ball and ran with it. After one of them alleged that other senators were "ALL in on it together," GOP Sen. Mike Lee of Utah responded that they "know nothing about his condition."

It got to the point where the cable network NewsNation even asked a House Republican whether McConnell was still alive. Indiana Rep. Marlin Stutzman's response? "I don't know if he's alive or has passed away."

At least some of the blame for feeding these conspiracy theories surely lies with McConnell's office, which resisted disclosing his condition. It ultimately said Sunday, after Graham's death, that McConnell had fallen, had been briefly unconscious and then developed pneumonia. It also released a photo of McConnell in the hospital with his wife and a current newspaper.

Loomer responded by baselessly suggesting the photo had been manipulated.

GOP Sen. Ron Johnson also said in a TV interview Monday afternoon that the McConnell photo might be "an older photo." (He later told reporters that was a "rumor" and to "assume it's false.")

Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Monday called the theories "crazy speculation online." But he also suggested McConnell could help tamp them down.

"But you know, I think that anything he can do to just keep these, you know, crazy conspiracy theories off of the, off the grid, so to speak, I think would be helpful," Thune added.

GOP Sen. John Cornyn of Texas later echoed calls for transparency, telling reporters, "I wish Sen. McConnell and his team had done that earlier. I think it would have resolved a lot of questions."

A wide array of theories about Graham's death

That was only an appetizer for what lay ahead. Graham's death late Saturday night quickly spawned theories on the right that some nefarious foreign government was behind it.

Loomer cited how the South Carolina Republican had just been in Ukraine pushing for sanctions against Russia. Conservative commentator Marc Thiessen cited Russian President Vladimir Putin's alleged assassinations of foes and said it was "not a conspiracy theory to suggest something else might be at play."

Others like Kylie Jane Kremer, who organized rallies to try to help Trump overturn the 2020 election, questioned whether it was Iran, noting that regime has decried the hawkish Graham, too. (Kremer earlier this month accused Trump's foes of manipulating the weather to make the celebration of America's 250th anniversary unbearably hot.)

MAGA activist Matt Van Swol said Graham "dying out of the blue like this doesn't make any sense at all."

Still others pointed the finger, as is often the case, at Israel.

And FBI Director Kash Patel probably didn't help matters by concluding his social media post about Graham's death by saying, "The FBI is assisting local authorities and has made every necessary resource available." Many wondered why the FBI would be needed if Graham died from natural causes. The preliminary cause of death from the medical examiner — an aortic dissection — was trending on the internet.

Cornyn stopped short of advocating the idea that Graham didn't die of natural causes, but he called for the release of a toxicology report to "rule out any foul play."

"Given where he was and the sorts of things he was advocating for, I think we just ought to resolve all those questions by seeing what the toxicology reports show," he said Monday.

Also strikingly, one of those spreading baseless theories that something might not be as it appears was a leader of Kirk's organization, Turning Point USA, which has been a rare force fighting the conspiracy theories about Kirk's own death.

"I'm not sure how a guy goes from visiting a drone production facility in Ukraine to suddenly dying," Turning Point COO Tyler Bowyer posted on X. "Seems like important context."

Trump dismissed conspiracy theories around Graham's death in a Newsmax interview Monday night: "I'd love to say yes, but I think he had some problems," adding that Graham's father "passed away at about the same age."

He went even further Tuesday, saying the FBI is "wasting their time" while downplaying the conspiracy theories.

"I know there's all sorts of conspiracy theories going along, and I don't think the FBI — I think the FBI is wasting their time if they're doing that," Trump told reporters when asked why the agency was looking into the death or if he had gotten any updates.
The Trump and Kirk examples

The conspiracy theories on the right extend to the July 2024 assassination attempt against Trump. A number of figures who have broken with the president have increasingly suggested there was something suspicious about the attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania. They include Carlson, former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, former Trump counterterrorism official Joe Kent and podcaster Tim Dillon.

The Justice Department and FBI have said the would-be assassin was Thomas Crooks, who left little in the way of a paper trail but appeared to be suffering from mental health problems.

And despite the fact that Kirk's alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, is now on trial and evidence is coming out, conspiracy theories about his death are proving remarkably resilient.

It remains unclear how much these theories have penetrated on the right and are actually believed. After a more recent assassination attempt against Trump — at the White House Correspondents' Dinner this spring — a Fox News poll in May found just 11% of his voters said it was at least "probably staged."

But 30% of registered voters overall said that. And having 1 in 10 people who voted for Trump believe such a thing is pretty stunning, in and of itself — especially given theories about that one weren't as prevalent on the right.

There isn't good public opinion data for the conspiracy theories about the deaths of prominent Republicans, McConnell's absence or other assassination attempts against Trump.

Another complicating factor is that it may be politically challenging for some Republicans to go after these theories too strongly. That's because some of them are being promoted by people with real influence and ties to Trump. Loomer has proven a weirdly influential figure with Trump over the years, and Carlson — the former highest-rated host on Fox News — was reported to be instrumental in getting Vance installed as vice president. Also, plenty on the right like Megyn Kelly have appeared reluctant to tangle with Owens.

But the Kirk conspiracy theories were a great example of how this can go wrong for the party. Trump really wanted to use Kirk's assassination as the basis to go after left-leaning groups he claimed (without evidence) were responsible for such violence. Yet prominent MAGA figures were undermining that political strategy by suggesting it wasn't the left but instead their chosen villain that was responsible.

To the extent deaths like these are going to be instantly greeted with conspiracy theories, that creates a real collective-action problem for Republicans.

But thanks to the GOP's many years of humoring Trump's own amplification of conspiracy theories, it's a problem long in the making.

This story has been updated Tuesday with additional developments.

OMG!!! The Communist American People are After AI-Generated Wealth

According to the opinion below, the American people are a bunch of communists who want to take away the wealth generated by artificial intelligence and distribute it among themselves. 

Instead of rewarding those greedy capitalistic entrepreneurs who make trillions of dollars off the back of taxpayers in the form of generous US government grants; whose industry is a parasite that feeds off the work of millions of people (authors, artists, etc.); who strain the environment; who use massive quantities of energy and drive up our energy bills; and worst of all, who are eliminating our jobs by millions with massive layoffs .... the majority of the American people want the profits made by AI entities re-distributed. 

But wait a minute. Wealth re-distribution is a hallmark of Communist systems. In capitalist systems, wealthy people can hoard as much money as they want and are under no obligation, moral or legal, to help less fortunate members of their societies. But in Communist systems, social solidarity takes precedence over individual greed. The many take priority over the few.

But are Americans becoming filthy communists? Or have they learned from experience not to approve of a handful of immorally wealthy individuals to run amok with the economy and deprive millions of people of their basic needs?

If true, then Donald Dumb is right. We can't allow 70% of the American people to become Communist agents working on dismantling the hypothetical American Dream bullshit. We need to find who these 70% of Americans are and send ICE-GESTAPO to stop that creeping takeover of the famed American Way of Life, which can be summed up by becoming dumb and ugly, eating bad processed food, turning obesity into a hallmark of genuine Americanism, and becoming enslaved by a few giant corporations into "consumers" while deprived of their status of "citizens". 

Seriously, do you then wonder why Democratic Socialists are winning in every district they run?

A Majority of Americans Support Seizing Wealth From AI Industry

A new national survey suggests that 69 percent of US employees support forcing AI companies to transfer 50 percent of their stock into a public wealth fund, an idea championed by senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT).See more

To say Americans are divided on AI would be an understatement.

Polls have shown that more people than ever have a negative view of the tech, and you can take your pick on the reasons why. AI could displace jobs, destroy the environment, and drive up energy bills. It's trained on stolen writing and artwork, and chatbots are driving people into mental health spirals.

But what does the public think should be done about this? A new national survey from Versasight suggests that the majority of Americans are down for taking a drastic course of action.

According to the survey of 1,700 adults, an impressive 69 percent of US employees support forcing AI companies to transfer 50 percent of their stock into a public wealth fund, an idea that has been championed by senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT).

"In the eyes of the public, AI Sovereign funds are seen as a tool to distribute the gains from the AI industry back to broader society," Verasight CEO Benjamin Leff told CNBC News.

Once at the fringe of political discourse, Sanders took the idea mainstream when he proposed the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act in June. In an essay published in the New York Times, the independent senator argued that the creation of this fund would "give the public a direct role in determining the future of this technology."

"It would guarantee that the economic benefits generated by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — not simply to make the richest people in the world even richer," he added in a statement last month.

The act would target the largest AI companies in the US such as Anthropic and OpenAI, mandating that they submit to a one time 50 percent tax on their stock. At their current valuations, Sanders estimated that this would create a fund worth around $7 trillion. The money in this fund could offset some of the widespread disruption AI could wreak on society, the thinking goes.

Not all AI industry critics are on board. Some have argued that giving the government such a large stake in AI companies would encourage it to clear away regulations, and give AI companies even greater influence over the government than they already have.

You could say it's a flawed and far-fetched idea, but Americans are on board, perhaps underscoring the desperation for someone to do something about the industry. Even when the policy was explicitly tied to Sanders, the survey found that 64 percent of respondents still supported the idea.

"There is an undeniable desire among Americans of both parties for federal oversight, absolute transparency, and accountability to ensure AI safety and to enable all Americans to participate in the economic benefits of AI," Leff said in a statement.

America, You Are Smarter than this. Don't Fall for "The Communists are Coming" Scare

King Trump's Fool Michael Savage propagates stale 19th century ideas

Trump's white supremacist criminals will say anything to terrorize the American people into submission and acceptance of their criminality, savage greed and racism as some sort of "American way" slogan. It's just a slogan that has trained you like Pavlovian dogs to drool once you hear the whistle. 

Don't fall for their lies. Think for yourselves. Try to define what is the "American Way" and see where it will take you. America is falling behind because of their crimes and corruption. Trump and his gangsters are making America poor again by enriching themselves over your dumbness. 

They desperately want to hang on to power so as to keep ripping the American people off with their corruption and to keep dividing us. They are NOT the patriots they claim to be. They are extremist white nationalists who hate everyone else who is not a white evangelical supremacist moron like them. 

Spewing hate is not patriotism.

Conservative pundit Michael Savage has claimed that democratic socialist candidates would turn the U.S. into a socialist country through, for example, the launch of "free" programs. Stop and think, what is wrong with a "free" program? When Trump himself and George W Bush issued "stimulus" checks after they wrecked the economy with the financial corruption of their billionaire buddies on Wall Street, wasn't that a "free program" to silence and tame  people into accepting their corruption as the "American Way"?

Savage claims the country is turning into Cambodia under the dictator Pol Pot. He's right. This is exactly what his boss, the dick-taitor Donald Trump, has done to the country by turning it into a huge Killing Field and a large "Internment Camp" for those who don't look like "us".

Communism is dead all over the world. A couple of countries continue to be run by Communist parties but they run capitalist economies: China and Vietnam, and they are our best trading partners.

Why would you want to be stupid and believe that decent patriotic Americans want to impose communism on the country, when America defeated Communism with the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Soviet Union? There is no Marxism and no Communism left in the world. They're gone. 

Trump and this criminally-minded idiot Michael Savage are resurrecting ghosts from the 1930s to scare you - they really think you're dumb and that you'll believe their lies and vote for them. But take a look around you: who is wrecking the economy of the country and running it to the ground with tax breaks for the rich, foreign wars and corruption never seen before in the history of the country.  Who is causing massive inflation and making your lives so miserable? 

We are smarter and better than this. Trump and his minions lied to us in two elections. Are we gonna continue believing their lies?

Trump shares video calling for Mamdani, ‘hardcore communist bastards’ to be deported
Ryan Mancini
Mon, July 13, 2026



President Trump on Sunday shared a video calling for "hardcore communist bastards" to be deported, notably naming New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D).

Conservative pundit Michael Savage's 49-minute-long video, which he posted on July 4, claims that democratic socialist candidates running as Democrats have been turning the U.S. into a socialist country through, for example, the launch of "free" programs. Savage claimed the country was turning into Cambodia under the dictator Pol Pot.

"That is exactly what Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists will do to you," Savage said. "Forget the smirks, forget the smiles, forget the bulls— that it's like Denmark and Norway. These are hardcore communist bastards who must be stopped, criminalized and deported. I'm clear as a bell on this. We will fall if they are not deported."

Trump's sharing of the message is notable given his relationship with Mamdani. While Trump has been hammering Democrats for moving toward "communism" with the advancement of several democratic socialist candidates, he has at times complimented Mamdani. Trump famously had a friendly meeting with Mamdani at the White House after the democratic socialist won his city's mayoral race last year.

Savage said Mamdani, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) "and the other scum who should be criminalized and deported –– I'll send them to Uganda … before they spread the cancer." The pundit railed against democratic socialist candidates who recently won Democratic primary elections across the country.

"Right now, we have open Marxists in high places in America. Every one of them must be criminalized and deported. I'm not mincing words, I don't care what the courts say," Savage later said before he blasted the Supreme Court's recent ruling upholding birthright citizenship, which he said was "death to America."

Savage made several more pleas to deport democratic socialist candidates, conflating their political beliefs with communist ideology.

Trump has accused democratic socialist candidates and their movement of being more dangerous to the U.S. than both world wars and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

"They use the word social democrat because it sounds so nice, but it's really communism you're talking about," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office late last month.

Democrats have seized on the issue of affordability as inflation continues to rise under the Trump administration. Trump, however, has accused the far left of making promises it cannot keep, saying that it is "too easy to get elected, giving everything away."

The victories by democratic socialist candidates have also led to discussions within the Democratic Party, with some welcoming the wins and others fearing the party could lose races in the fall if it is seen as too extreme.

A recent poll from The Economist/YouGov found that 1 in 3 Americans said they are willing to back a democratic socialist in an election, while 45 percent said they would not. Pollsters also found that 32 percent of respondents see socialism in a "very favorable" or "somewhat favorable" light, though slightly more at 39 percent said they see socialism in a "somewhat unfavorable" or "very unfavorable" light.

Nepotism in Backward Southern States. South Carolina Appoints Lady Lindsey's Sister as Senator

... and her name is DARLINE NORDONE. Try pronouncing it with the disgusting southern drawl.

South Carolina's other Senator, the Black African-American "Uncle Tom" of MAGA, Tim Scott, applauded the appointment. Tim Scott's ass-kissing to his white masters narrowly avoided him losing his seat. Fearing a massive routing in the elections by the African American vote, the South Carolina lawmakers rejected a congressional redistricting plan last May 2026 that aimed to redraw districts into a 7-0 Republican map that would have dismantled the state's sole Democratic district and completely eliminate Black African-American representation in Congress.

Darline Graham Nordone, Lindsey Graham's sister, appointed to fill Senate seat

Major Garrett
Updated Tue, July 14, 2026 



Washington — South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster on Monday appointed the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's sister Darline Graham Nordone to finish his Senate term, which ends in January.

"Lindsey took care of his little sister in years long departed. It's my honor to ask his little sister Darline Graham to finish his work for him now," McMaster said at an emotional news conference to announce to his appointment for the vacant seat left by Graham's death.

Graham Nordone will be able to serve until at least Jan. 3, when a new Congress convenes.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Graham Nordone will be sworn in Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 ET.

"Lindsey has always been there for me, and now I will be there for him," Graham Nordone said, calling it a "privilege to get to finish some of his important work."

President Trump, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina and others had voiced their support for Graham Nordone.

McMaster said he broached the subject of Graham Nordone filling her brother's seat shortly after his death, and that she quickly accepted.

Graham was also running for reelection this fall, and a special Republican primary election will be held on Aug. 11 to determine who will replace him on the ballot. The candidate who wins in November will secure a full six-year term.

Graham died Saturday at the age of 71, and a medical examiner's preliminary findings suggested the cause was aortic dissection, which involves a tear in the main artery from the heart.

On Monday morning, Mr. Trump threw his endorsement behind Graham's younger sister to serve the rest of his term.

"I recommended, to Governor Henry McMaster, Lindsey Graham's wonderful sister, Darline, to serve as interim Senator from the Great State of South Carolina," Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social. "This would be a fabulous tribute to Lindsey, who loved her dearly!"

Scott told "CBS Mornings" that Graham Nordone "would be a wonderful placeholder." Scott has spoken to Graham Nordone multiple times over the past 24 hours, a source familiar with the talks told CBS News. Scott was on hand for the announcement later Monday.
