It’s not a genocide, it’s just a war. That Islamists started.
About 70,000 have been killed. Roughly half are militants. This is an excellent civilian to death ratio.
If Hamas has any military expertise it’s in using human shields, which is a war crime. Their strategy is to get their own people killed, broadcast it, and convince the world that Jews are bloodthirsty.
There are many ways to be antisemetic. Perhaps the worst is expecting Jews to lay down and die after being raped, shot, maimed and murdered.
If you’re a Democratic voter deeply alarmed by the state of our country and where President Trump is taking us, you should feel enormous urgency to publicly condemn the DSA.
The problem isn’t every DSA aspiration. Universal healthcare, for example, is a legitimate policy goal. The problem is that many stated DSA positions—including abolishing police and prisons and dismantling core elements of our constitutional order—are deeply radical, threatening, and unacceptable to most American voters.
Failing to draw a bright line between the Democratic Party and the DSA will make it far harder for Democrats to win the elections we desperately need to win.
We are already seeing the consequences in Florida, where Angie Nixon has joined the DSA and will certainly lose her Senate race because Republicans will hold her accountable for the DSA platform, as they should.
Those of us Democrats who love our country and are deeply concerned about its direction must aggressively counter the DSA and demand that Democratic leaders unequivocally condemn its bigotry, anti-Americanism, and extremism.
Democrats cannot support radical candidates like Abdul El-Sayed and Darializa Avila Chevalier without expecting to be held collectively accountable for their positions.
If we want to win the support of the majority of American voters who are deeply uncomfortable with the DSA’s dangerous socialist radicalism, we must clearly distance ourselves from these candidates and state loud and clear: that is not us.
Alina Chan makes an essential and urgent case that dangerous pathogen research capable of triggering a catastrophic pandemic is expanding around the world without anything approaching the oversight such risks demand.
She calls for binding standards covering risky pathogen research regardless of who funds it, independent oversight with real authority, mandatory reporting and investigation of laboratory accidents, and far stronger global biosafety and biosecurity protections.
I’ve worked closely with Alina for more than six years and have tremendous respect for her rigor, courage, and commitment to following the evidence wherever it leads. Her warning is of existential importance to all of us. We know the risks, have been warned, and must act before the next catastrophe.

When India accidentally wiped out its vultures, half a million people died in five years.
The bird doing zoomies in this video runs the most extreme digestive system in the animal kingdom. Vulture stomach acid sits near pH 1, strong enough to destroy anthrax, rabies, and botulism in the carcasses they eat. A flock strips a cow to bone in about 45 minutes.
India had 50 million of them. Free sanitation at national scale, in a country where religious custom means most cattle die natural deaths and every dead cow becomes a carcass someone has to deal with.
Then the patent on diclofenac expired in 1994. Farmers started using the cheap painkiller on livestock. Trace amounts left in a carcass cause kidney failure in vultures. Within a decade, 50 million birds fell to a few thousand. The fastest collapse of any bird species since the passenger pigeon.
The carcasses didn't disappear. Feral dogs took the vultures' place and brought rabies with them. Rotting remains leached into waterways. In districts where vultures once thrived, human death rates rose more than 4 percent. Economists at Chicago and Warwick put the toll at 100,000 extra deaths a year and $69 billion in annual damages.
So yes, the goofy bird sprinting down the walkway is adorable. It's also a disease firewall that evolution spent millions of years building and one generic painkiller nearly erased in ten.
The fastest female, 100-meter sprinter in recorded history is American legend Florence Griffith Joyner. She set the world record of 10.49 seconds on July 16, 1988.
In 2026, there were over 1000 high school boys that beat this record! You read that correctly. In this year alone, there were over 1000 high school boys that beat the record of fastest woman in the world ever!
If just one of those boys, or a meager 1/10 of 1%, decided to compete as a woman, he would crush the women’s world record!
I’m not talking about a high school record or a college record or even an Olympic or professional record. I’m talking about the women’s world record that has held since 1988!
Remind me again, why you’re not supportive of women’s rights.
Bill Maher’s audience audibly gasps when he reads what the Democratic Socialists of America are actually saying out loud:
MAHER: “Trump has told 1 trillion lies, but when he says the DSA are actually COMMUNISTS, that’s not one of them.”
“And it’s not hard to prove it just by quoting the DSA and their candidates.”
“J.D. Vance was on the show, and I told him that if the Democratic Party keeps going in the direction of the DSA, my vote was in play. And all I heard all vacation was, ‘Oh, my God, you’re a Republican now.’ No, that's not what I said. I said in play, and here’s why.”
“Because not a week goes by where I don’t read about some newly chosen, exciting new face in the Democratic Party. And then when that face opens its mouth, the Communist Manifesto or some other crazy shit comes out! Again.”
“Let’s just read the quotes. The DSA platform says: ‘You work as much as you are able and no more than needed.’ If that was any closer to Karl Marx’s dictum, from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs, they’d be sued for plagiarism.”
“New York Mayor Mamdani once tweeted, Karl Marx’s words exactly. They’re not trying to hide it. Their most popular influencer, Hasan Piker, thinks communism is so groovy, he laments the fall of two of the most murderous regimes in history, the Soviet Union and Chairman Mao's China.”
“Mamdani's aide, his top aide, Cea Weaver, said, ‘If you don't believe in the government's sacred right to seize property, it's over.’ And ‘impoverish the white middle class.’ What? That's a goal? You know you're supposed to scare people into voting for you, right?”
“One of the new, soon-to-be Democratic congresspeople, Darlesia Chavalier, supports seizing all properties from landlords and said, ‘Seize the means of production.’ Mamdani has said ‘The end goal is seizing the means of production.’ I think they want to seize the means of production.”
“Now, maybe you missed that in school or missed school altogether, but THAT'S COMMUNISM.”
“Now the coalition within the DSA called the Marxist Unity Group is in ascendance. And I must take them at their word. When their words include, ‘Our commitment is to the long-term struggle for a fully liberated classless society. In a word, communism.’”
“What do they have to do, tweet out ‘Elect more communists’? Oh, yeah, Cea Weaver did that.”
[Shows tweet, audience audibly gasps]
“Yes, [she really did that]! ... People gotta realize this is going on.”
@gal_red11250 Heavenly Father, please wrap Kaylie in your loving, healing arms and bring her back complete and whole to her loving, grateful family. Amen.
The time has come.
I'm taking an extended break from this site. Nothing specific has happened lately to prompt this. Honestly...I'm just tired.
I need the mental detox. It's the same thing every day. The same "breaking" posts. The same accounts making the same arguments. The same lame engagement farming. The same bots in my replies. The same people applying their purity tests depending on what politician they love.
It's all so stale and draining, and despite what some have assumed, this site is not how I make a living. Will I be back? I'm sure I'll post again at some point, but I'm going to take a while and then play things by ear. Maybe the motivation and desire will rekindle a bit.
Regardless, I'd encourage everyone to take a step back and consider that what some Washington politician does or whether some movie is woke is not that important in the grand scheme of things. Those things aren't going to bring you fulfillment in life.
Spend time with your family. Go to church and build a real relationship with God. Climb a mountain and watch the sunset. Go fishing.
The only thing you can't get back is time, and things aren't nearly as bad as the political bubble would have you believe. Take some time and enjoy life a little.
I am a lifelong Democrat. I served on President Clinton’s National Security Council and in the State Department under Madeleine Albright. I am also a lifelong human rights and civil rights advocate.
But every Democrat and every American should recognize that the DSA represents a fundamental threat to our party and our country.
This is not a story about a few idealists seeking to reduce healthcare costs. It is about a small group of radical extremists pursuing a strategy to take over the Democratic Party and ultimately our country in order to impose an agenda that would devastate our economy and fundamentally dismantle our system of government.
Don’t take my word for it. Listen to the full conversation between Fox News’ Martha MacCallum and New York City DSA co-chair Gustavo Gordillo and judge for yourself.
