Sorry Virginia, but your brand of socialism is communism.

Sorry Virginia, but your brand of socialism is communism.

I’m sure you’ve seen where leftists are claiming that their brand of socialism is no different than European socialism. They even got what they think is a mainstream name for it. Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Below is what DSA stands for.

DSA Platform — Core Positions (Unbiased Summary)

1. Abolish the Presidency & Supreme Court

DSA’s constitutional reform plank calls for:

  • Abolishing the presidency
  • Abolishing the Supreme Court
  • Replacing them with a unicameral legislature
  • Creating worker‑controlled democratic institutions

2. Abolish the Electoral College

Replace it with direct democracy and proportional systems.

3. Socialized Economy

  • Public ownership of major industries
  • Worker‑controlled enterprises
  • End private profit in essential sectors (energy, healthcare, housing)

4. Medicare for All

A fully socialized, single‑payer system.

5. Abolish ICE & End Immigration Enforcement Regime

  • Open pathways to citizenship
  • End deportations
  • Decriminalize border crossing

6. Defund / Abolish Police & Prisons (varies by chapter)

National DSA supports:

  • “Defund police”
  • Ending “carceral systems”
  • Community‑based alternatives

7. Anti‑Capitalist Foreign Policy

  • Oppose U.S. military aid to Israel
  • Support BDS
  • Oppose NATO expansion
  • Reduce U.S. global military footprint

8. Green New Deal (maximalist version)

  • Ban fossil fuels
  • Nationalize energy
  • 100% public renewable infrastructure

9. Housing as a Human Right

  • National rent control
  • Social housing
  • End private landlordism (long‑term goal)

10. Labor & Unions

  • Sectoral bargaining
  • Card‑check unionization
  • Worker ownership of firms

This is the official DSA platform, not media framing.

🟦 Which Democrats Support Parts of the DSA Platform? (No bias, no spin)

DSA is not part of the Democratic Party. But some elected Democrats overlap with parts of the platform.

✔️ DSA‑endorsed Democrats (actual members or endorsed candidates)

These individuals have run as Democrats but are ideologically aligned with DSA:

  • Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez (NY) – DSA member
  • Rashida Tlaib (MI) – DSA member
  • Cori Bush (MO) – DSA member
  • Jamaal Bowman (NY) – formerly endorsed
  • Summer Lee (PA) – endorsed
  • Greg Casar (TX) – endorsed
  • Zohran Mamdani (NY) – endorsed (state level)
  • Julia Salazar (NY) – endorsed (state level)

These are the only federal‑level Democrats with formal DSA ties.

✔️ Democrats who support parts of the DSA platform

These Democrats are not DSA members, but support some overlapping policies:

  • Bernie Sanders – democratic socialist; aligns on Medicare for All, labor, GND
  • Elizabeth Warren – aligns on economic regulation, labor, housing
  • Ilhan Omar – aligns on foreign policy, policing, immigration
  • Pramila Jayapal – aligns on Medicare for All, labor
  • Mark Pocan – aligns on labor, healthcare
  • Ro Khanna – aligns on antitrust, labor, foreign policy restraint

What the MLB gets wrong about Divisive Groups.

What the MLB gets wrong about Divisive Groups.

I’m glad that the MLB found its moral compass and decided that they would not fine the ball players who put bible quotes on their hats that supported a divisive group that many find offensive.

Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred told Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., that San Francisco Giants players who wrote Bible verse references on their Pride Night hats will not face fines or discipline over the incident, while defending the league’s uniform policy at the center of the controversy.

Manfred said the purpose of the rule is to prevent players from becoming messengers for political or social issues while in uniform, because many messages can offend some portion of the fan base, even if that is not the player’s intent.

Doesn’t the Commissioner realize that featuring a group like the Alphabet group offends many who are baseball fans?

What say you?

Biden Biden Cartel Biden Pandemic Blue or red states. Censorship COVID Government Overreach Links from other news sources.

Without any bias tell me what went wrong with Bidens COVID policies.

Without any bias tell me what went wrong with Bidens COVID policies.

I asked the above question of CoPilot. The Microsoft leftist AI. It’s response. Nothing was edited. You make the call.

  • Overpromising on vaccines and “back to normal”
    • Shifting message: Early framing implied vaccines would largely stop infection and transmission, then reality (Delta, Omicron) forced a pivot to “prevents severe disease.” That shift damaged trust.
    • Polarizing rhetoric: Phrases like “pandemic of the unvaccinated” were seen as stigmatizing and politically divisive, making later persuasion harder.
    • Underplaying uncertainty: Communication often sounded more certain than the underlying science, so reversals (on boosters, masks, etc.) felt like incompetence or dishonesty.
  • School reopening and learning loss
    • Slow, cautious reopening in many blue districts: Biden campaigned on reopening schools, but CDC guidance was widely viewed as overly influenced by teachers’ unions and risk‑averse, leading to prolonged closures in many places.
    • Uneven national picture: Some states were fully open while others stayed remote or hybrid far longer, contributing to large learning losses and mental‑health impacts, especially for lower‑income kids.
    • No clear national line in the sand: The administration never drew a firm, simple standard like “schools stay open except in extreme circumstances,” so local officials defaulted to caution and conflict.
  • Testing and surveillance failures
    • Winter 2021–22 test shortage: The administration was slow to anticipate the Omicron wave’s demand for rapid tests; shelves were empty just as cases exploded.
    • Regulatory drag: FDA and other agencies were criticized for slow approval and scaling of rapid tests, leaving the U.S. behind some peer countries.
    • Fragmented data: Case, hospitalization, and wastewater data remained patchy and inconsistent across states, limiting clear national situational awareness.
  • Mandates and legal overreach
    • OSHA vaccine‑or‑test rule: The broad workplace mandate was struck down by the Supreme Court, showing the administration had stretched legal authority too far.
    • Federal contractor and healthcare mandates: These survived in narrower form but triggered workforce losses in some sectors and hardened political opposition.
    • Backlash vs. benefit: Mandates likely increased vaccination in some groups, but they also deepened polarization, fed conspiracy narratives, and made later public‑health messaging less credible to skeptics.
  • Inconsistent and confusing rules
    • Masks on planes vs. elsewhere: Mask mandates persisted on airplanes and in airports long after many other settings dropped them, creating a sense of arbitrary rules rather than risk‑based policy.
    • Travel and border policies: International testing and entry rules lagged behind changing risk, and were often confusing and poorly explained.
    • Changing CDC guidance: Quarantine and isolation rules were revised multiple times; even when scientifically justified, the communication was muddled and widely mocked.
  • Underinvestment in non‑pharmaceutical tools
    • Ventilation and filtration: The administration talked about ventilation but never made it as central or as visible as vaccines and masks—no simple, national “clean air” standard or branding.
    • High‑quality masks: Distribution of free high‑filtration masks (N95/KN95) came late and never reached the same scale or clarity as vaccine campaigns.
    • Risk‑stratified guidance: There was little clear, simple messaging for different risk groups (e.g., “if you’re older or high‑risk, here’s your playbook”), leaving many to fend for themselves.
  • Therapeutics rollout problems
    • Paxlovid confusion: When antivirals became available, eligibility rules, drug interactions, and access pathways were poorly communicated; many high‑risk people never got them in time.
    • Provider hesitancy: Doctors and clinics were slow to prescribe due to unclear guidance and fear of side effects or interactions.
    • Equity gaps: Access to treatments and monoclonal antibodies was uneven, with better‑resourced areas often doing better than poorer or rural communities.
  • Data transparency and “end of emergency” messaging
    • Shifting metrics: Moving from case counts to hospitalizations and then to more limited dashboards felt to many like “hiding the ball,” even when justified by changing conditions.
    • Wind‑down of free tools: As the public health emergency ended, free testing, vaccines, and treatments became more complicated to access, and the messaging around that shift was not clear.
    • Public fatigue unmanaged: The administration never really reset the narrative into a coherent “long‑term COVID strategy” the public could understand; instead, things just quietly faded into the background.
  • Equity and trust gaps
    • Booster and treatment disparities: Despite strong equity rhetoric, booster uptake and treatment access lagged in many minority and low‑income communities.
    • Trust in institutions: Frequent changes, legal defeats, and partisan framing eroded trust in CDC, FDA, and federal health leadership among both skeptics and some supporters.
    • Politicization of expertise: Experts were often perceived as aligned with one political side, making it harder to land nuanced messages later

Hey Keith, what changed from 2024? Nuff Said.

In 2024, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) was among 17 AGs who contended there is no right to carry a gun at “political rallies and protests.”

Was that when Donald Trump was doing his Presidential rallies?

A few is one thing, but thousands of DC crimes misclassified.

We’re now seeing why the DC chief of police is retiring. U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro said Monday that a months-long federal investigation uncovered widespread misclassification of crime reports by the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), making crime statistics across Washington, D.C. “artificially lower.”

Pirro said the findings were based on a review of nearly 6,000 reports and interviews with more than 50 witnesses, showing that D.C.’s crime numbers were significantly understated.

“It is evident that a significant number of reports had been misclassified, making crime appear artificially lower than it was,” Pirro said in a statement.

No surprise here. California leads nation in Active shooters during the Newsom, Biden- Harris Cartel.

I’m sure most folks outside of California (and many within) weren’t surprised to see the lawlessness in California. Even MSM couldn’t hide it. Sadly, the local media did. And when it did report on it, never were the politicians blamed. So, the information below should surprise no one.

Figures from the FBI’s Active Shooter Report show that California led the nation in “active shooter incidents” for the five-year period of 2020-2024.According to the FBI, California led the nation for “active shooter incidents” with 25 during the time frame in view.

This goes with previous FBI reports showing California led the nation in “active shooter incidents” in the specific years 2021 and 2023. Breitbart News pointed to these annual reports, noting that California was number one in gun control and number one in “active shooter incidents.”

What happens when two dumb Asses get together?

I saw the other day how Jen Psaki was on with Katie Couric and was talking about how fair and balanced the White House Press room when she was Press Secretary. How the questions were asked that were newsworthy. Also talked about the right mix in the room. The only Conservative media under her that was there on a daily basis was FOX.

Newsmax, Breitbart, Daily Caller, and OAN were not allowed a daily presence. Psaki claimed that MSM asked newsworthy questions. Conservative media did not.

How sad.

So, this is where J6 got their fake report. BBC execs are gone.

The corrupt J6 committee used a edited video showing Trump asking folks to go and fight at the capitol. Even though the WH showed the actual video, the committee refused to use it. this from CBS News.

The head of the BBC and its CEO of news resigned Sunday after criticism of the broadcaster’s editing of a speech by President Trump.

The BBC said Director-General Tim Davie and head of news Deborah Turness both announced their resignation on Sunday.

Britain’s public broadcaster has been criticized for the way it edited a speech Mr. Trump made on Jan. 6, 2021, before protesters attacked the Capitol in Washington.

Portions of the speech were included in a documentary on its high-profile Panorama program and critics said they had been misleadingly edited, missing out a section where Mr. Trump said that he wanted supporters to demonstrate peacefully.
