Suicidal Radicalism

 

Or how to abandon morality.

The rise of radicalism in the democrat party has increased exponentially in just a few short years. Once socialism was verboten and any left of mainstream democrat self-identified as a progressive. As more democrats lean left, socialism has been redefined as democratic socialism, championed as a valid path to “fairness” and equity. Bernie Sanders and AOC were the forerunners of this movement. Today, democratic socialism has taken an even greater leftward turn. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) party has fully embraced Marxism and openly communist candidates they supported have prevailed in democrat primary elections in New York, Ohio, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, and Washington. This democrat party no longer supports the values it has defended for decades.

For reasons unknown, transgenderism has become one of the issues du jour for democrats. Even though men in women’s private spaces, men competing in women’s sports, and advocating for gender reassignment for children is opposed by 80% of the population, democrats make this one of the hills they choose to die on. All things being equal, this should initiate the fall of the democrat party, with candidates that support this lunacy losing election after election. Not today. There are many of our young people that have been radicalized by Marxist professors at universities and children indoctrinated in our public schools by woke teachers for decades. Along with “normal” liberals that are either true believers, virtue signaling fools, or TDS sufferers, they form a coalition of motivated voters that can, and have, elected leftist ideologues to “represent” them in government.

Overly enthusiastic and motivated democrat operatives, entrenched bureaucrats, and paid “volunteers”, will do whatever it takes to prevent “evil” Republicans from attaining office. Misguided women that believe killing a pre-born human being is somehow, a constitutional right, have been brainwashed to believe that Republicans will place restrictions on this “sacred right.” Others that have been duped by the legacy media’s constant drumbeat disparaging Donald Trump and MAGA, vote against sanity and the nonexistent “existential threat to democracy”, casting their votes for candidates that have no business running for any elected office. But of course, they are not Donald Trump or MAGA.

One should choose their elected representatives based upon a common set of values. After all, they will represent their interests in Congress. But we now live in a reality where one party prioritizes the vilification of the other party. Far too many are influenced by this strategy and place their votes out of misdirected anger. They are not voting for a candidate, they are voting against the democrat’s boogeyman, which far too often comes back to bite them. Democrat primaries have produced a number of radical candidates;

·         James Talarico, Senate - Texas, who says that God is non-binary, Jesus was a radical feminist, that there are 6 distinct biological sexes, racism is a virus spread by white people, accuses ICE officers of terrorism, and that billionaires are destroying the country. Yet, he is viewed as moderate by the democrat party.

·         Abdul Al Sayed, Senate - Michigan, Sharia law advocate, Jew hater, America hater, and adheres to the platform of the (DSA).

·         Graham Platner, Senate - Maine, who dropped out of the race when he was accused by numerous women of sexual assaults and lying about a Nazi tattoo on his chest. He was replaced by Troy Jackson, a “logger” who has fathered two children with his cousin.

·         Peggy Flanagan, Senate - Minnesota, current Lieutenant Governor, and hijab wearer who was part of the administration that stood by and ignored $Billions in welfare and covid fraud.

·         Former Senator Sherrod Brown, Senate - Ohio, who was defeated in 2024, has voted to oppose closing the border, supported data centers that he now opposes, and has consistently voted well to the left of center.

·         Angie Nixon, Senate - Florida, an avowed Marxist that is a member of DSA and is about as far from the mainstream as one can be.

·         Melot Kiros, House of Representative – Colorado, another card caring DSA Marxist.

There are far too many democrats already serving in Congress, State, and local governments who serve their and their party’s interests, not yours. The democrat party will take whatever road it believes will lead them to power. They will step over the bodies of their supporters, if necessary. They will betray the very nation they have sworn to protect and serve. The road to their success will, not only destroy the rule of law, but will lead to the downfall of this nation. Should democrats win the House, any initiatives by President Trump will be unraveled. Should democrats win the House and Senate, we will see impeachment hearing after impeachment hearing. If they take back the White House in 2028, with a democrat majority in Congress, it may well be time to seek to live off the grid. Democrats seek to rule, not govern. Allow them to take power and we will one day wake up to a nation we no longer recognize.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” Norman Thomas.

Do not under any circumstances, sit this election out. Normalcy perseveres as the majority. We can defeat those who seek to rip apart the fabric of society. Vote for those who uphold your values and make certain anyone you know who shares your values goes to the polls on election day. Don’t allow these radical leftists to succeed with their plan to preside over the suicide of the greatest nation on earth. Make the difference!

“The right to vote is precious, almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool or instrument in a democratic society. We must use it.” John Lewis, civil rights activist and democrat lawmaker.

Neighborly

 

Our friends, Canada and Mexico, are dishonest in trade.

Globalization of trade should be free and clear of any encumbrances or unfair practices. When a nation chooses to create a trade imbalance intended to benefit their economy while punishing another nation, it is a violation of the tenets of free trade. Protectionism is the primary reason that nations tip the scales in their favor. Many of our “friends” have taken advantage of the United States’ largesse and have a considerable trade imbalance with the US. Much of the blame for the large trade deficit with most of the world, comes right back to us. The US incentivized developing nations so that those countries would use those additional funds to energize their economies, enabling them to purchase more American goods. This strategy has backfired, spectacularly.

Japan instituted tariffs on many American made products, in particular, tariffs on Harley Davidson products make it next to impossible to import to Japan. China refuses to do business with American companies unless they move some of their manufacturing to China, where products are reverse engineered and intellectual property stolen. Then those products are manufactured at other Chinese factories, sometimes using slave labor, ship them around the world, and undersell the American made products. These types of practices, which are dishonest and should be illegal on the global market, cost American jobs and some American companies have lost enough market share that they had to close their businesses.

Japan and China are not alone making it difficult to market American products. It has become a worldwide industry to sell “knock off” products and to routinely disadvantage American companies and products. The US took little to no action against these unfair practices until President Trump decided to level the playing field by levying reciprocal tariffs on those nations placing impediments to free trade with us. Unfortunately, the democrat party has been using the legal system, filing lawsuits in partisan courts to undercut the President’s authority. Democrats would rather American industries and workers suffer than allow President Trump to utilize tariffs as a tool to convince other nations to play fairly in trade.

The trade agreement (USMCA) with our northern and southern neighbors is regularly violated, or worked around, to Mexico’s and Canada’s advantage and to our detriment. Back door deals with China for cheap steel and aluminum, that both Canada and Mexico use in the manufacturing of automotive parts, undercut American companies. This allows China to violate fair trade practices and evade any sanctions. It is not enough for both Canada and Mexico to have trade surpluses of over $50Billion annually. Canada is now aligning with the United States’ and the western world’s chief adversary, China. Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney has been very disingenuous with recent trade negotiations with the US, mischaracterizing negotiations and drumming up animosity among the Canadian people. Worse, democrat Governors of states that are trade partners with Canada are aligning themselves with Canada instead of supporting the interests of the US. This is more typical democrat hypocrisy, that borders on treason.

Along with the theocratic, murderous regime in Iran, some of our friends believe weakening the President, weakens the US position, allowing them an opportunity to use that to their advantage. Democrats also believe that by weakening the US position to harm President Trump and Republicans will enable them to return to power. The plight of the American people means nothing to the democrats. You are merely pawns that only matter when you vote for them and are to be disregarded until the next election. As for all of us knuckle-dragging conservatives, so much the better if we are punished, politically, socially, and economically.

Affordability is the rallying cry from the democrats, conveniently forgetting that the reckless spending by the Biden administration drove up inflation by over 21% and added over $8 Trillion to the National Debt. Those prices that have exponentially increased for everything from apples to zucchini were substantially affected by the reckless spending of democrats. Now they blame President Trump. Yes, the price of gas is up, partly because of the Iran conflict, but the rest of the unaffordability problem is a direct result of democrat policies. Allow them to regain power and we just may become history. Not in a good way, more like all the other failed nations that destroyed themselves.

We have a real choice. Be angry that gas prices are too high and vote for the democrat “saviors,” or understand that prices at the pump will return to normal once Iran and its’ proxies are defeated. Should democrats regain power, they will appease Iran and the world will continue to be held hostage by a bunch of religious lunatics. Iran WILL then be able to possess a nuclear weapon that they would not hesitate to use. Stay the course and the majority of our society will continue to uphold the rule of law, support those who would keep our nation safe, respect all life, and reject the lunacy that is the left. It’s your call.
