People who dismiss the rise of open Communists within the Democrat party don't understand Bolshevik tactics or history

Of course, Democrats nationally will say the commies are few. Their whole game is pretending the vanguard is just a fringe.

But once in power, who calls the shots? What policies do we get?

They put the oldest, most boring white man in Democrat politics- Joe Biden- in office, with dementia, because they could pretend he was non-threatening politically and a "unifier"

What did the Biden White House do?

Intentionally, systematically throw open our border to 10+ million foreigners, an abject betrayal of this nation we may never recover from

Which is *exactly* what Chevalier of the 13th congressional district says she wants to do, again, and more

Wake up, everyone. Communism is here. It just hasn't won yet. And they plan to keep lying about it until it's too late.

I am so proud to represent President Trump and his administration to enhance cooperation between the United States Navy and the Vietnamese Navy.

We must allow the wounds of the past to heal and move forward for the mutual benefit of both nations.

Rep. Brandon Gill: “Republicans love this country, they love its people, they love its culture and its heritage, and want to see that preserved. We want to conserve the America that we grew up in.”

“Liberals fundamentally disagree with the founding principles. They fundamentally, on a core level, don't like the American people. They want to replace the American people, oftentimes with foreigners, and that carries through.”

“If you don't love this country, how can you possibly be entrusted to govern this country for its own good?”

When a Cabinet director suddenly needs "family time," grab the receipts. Elizabeth Hertel is out.

Gov. Whitmer's MDHHS director, who ran the single largest budget in state government, is gone effective June 30. And we have heard that farewell line before.

Here is what she leaves behind after running a department whose budget ballooned from $29 billion to nearly $38 billion on her watch:

A food-stamp error rate stuck near 10%, almost double the federal limit, putting Michigan on the hook for hundreds of millions in penalties.

A $4 million EBT fraud ring run out of metro Detroit while the system looked the other way.

437 children harmed in state custody in a single year, and a string of CPS failures tied to the deaths of children who were sent back into danger.

And while all of that was happening, the number of MDHHS employees pulling six-figure salaries EXPLODED by 474%.

This is not "time with family." This is what accountability finally catching up looks like. One resignation does not fix a broken department, but it is a start, and Michigan families deserve a system that actually works for the people who need it.

The next director should be chosen to clean this up, not to keep the seat warm.

Let's make Michigan safe, normal, and responsible again! 🇺🇸

Anti-Israel.

Anti-America.

Anti-Western Civilization.

Why am I the only Democrat in the U.S. Senate that refuses to excuse this or defend any of those self-identified communists?

[Brandon Gill @realBrandonGill]

How exactly can Congress allow somebody to take an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States if they openly advocate for eradicating the country?

[James David Dickson @downi75]

Michigan Republicans: Think of the Republican you like least in Michigan. Picture them in your head.

Now picture Jocelyn Benson.

Who would you rather have as governor the next 8 years?

That's the situation. This is not "lesser of two evils," it's life or death.

[Anna Hoffman @shoesonplease]

If you’re as terrified as I am of Abdul El-Egypt or Big Tech Benson ruining America/Michigan, you should be focused on calling them out - not Mike Rogers or John James.

I have lost my patience with the “My candidate or communism” crowd.

Get over your pride. Save Michigan.

Abdul El-Sayed Is a Paper Doctor With an Empty Résumé
The people's champ has never treated a patient, and the little work he has done hasn't improved health in Detroit

By Charlie LeDuff @Charlieleduff

A cop told me recently that he got a call from a rich white man complaining about a suspicious black man roaming his neighborhood.

Cops hate those kinds of calls. It puts them in a bad spot. But cops have to respond to calls. So he did. Turned out, the black man was an Amazon driver. And naturally, the white man had a sign in his yard that read “Black Lives Matter.”

Now, there’s a new sign on the white man’s lawn: “Abdul for U.S. Senate.”

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is running on a platform of good union jobs, money out of politics, and Medicare for All. I don’t understand the attraction. It’s doubtful the rich white man ever worked in a factory or has to worry about medical bills.

Let’s call it virtue signaling for virtue’s sake. It takes the sting out of white privilege.

For you workday humps who’d like to know something about the candidate beyond slick 30-second commercials, it’s worth noting that El-Sayed never worked in a factory, and aside from some part-time gigs at various colleges, his resume is thin. Very thin.

The first thing you need to know is that El-Sayed is a paper doctor. He’s never treated a patient, is not licensed in Michigan, and never passed the board examinations. He can’t so much as dispense aspirin from an ambulance.

The second thing you need to know is that El-Sayed, 41, has worked just two real jobs in his adult life, totaling less than four years, according to his resume. This from a guy who wants to be senator for life.

What’s troubling is where he worked and what he actually accomplished: He was appointed as the top public health official in Detroit and then Wayne County. Both departments are an historical quagmire of corruption and incompetence. Believe me, I know, I helped put one director behind bars for, among other things, embezzling public health dollars to pay for hair plugs.

For his part, El-Sayed was appointed as Detroit’s health director in 2015 by then-Mayor Mike Duggan. At that time, as the city was emerging from its historic bankruptcy, El-Sayed’s health department was funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars into a pet program run by Duggan’s mistress. The program was supposed to lower infant mortality rates in the city.

After just 17 months on the job, El-Sayed resigned to run for governor. Then Mistress-gate scandal exploded and infant mortality skyrocketed. Nothing changed.

To El-Sayed’s credit, before resigning as health director, he commissioned a report that showed Duggan’s demolition blitz was poisoning the city’s children. That program is now the subject of a sprawling FBI investigation. However, El-Sayed the candidate has said little about it.

A couple years and cups of coffee later, El-Sayed was appointed in 2023 as the medical chief of Wayne County. According to his own campaign commercial, El-Sayed’s biggest accomplishment was a partnership with a nonprofit that supplied 16,000 eye glasses to needy children. What the commercial does not tell you is that the nonprofit existed for a decade beforehand and the county’s portion was funded primarily by Biden’s Covid bucks. One-time inflationary federal dollars is no solution to a health crisis.

All the while, life expectancy in Detroit continues to crater from pre-pandemic levels, hovering around 70 years old. That’s hardly an effective record.

There are also serious questions about El-Sayed’s campaigns finance problems, including indications of straw donors, actual contributors blowing past legal limits, and a Super PAC committed to spending millions of dollars on his behalf.

Then there are the disturbing questions regarding the mental fitness of those he surrounds himself with, including a former staffer charged with terrorism, a current staffer who says all white women are racist (ironically, that staffer herself is a white woman), and a prominent podcaster who once said America deserved 9/11. And can we get a timeline of when he actually lived in Michigan?

But those are stories for another day.

Go ahead and plant your yard signs rich white guy. That's your right. Just remember, you reap what you sow.

As an expert on Islam, I state: The U.S. is finished. It has no idea at all that this is coming for it, and it has zero tools to defend itself. On the contrary, the tools it does have will be turned against it to destroy it. Islam will wipe it out. It will be brutal, and far worse than anything happening in Western Europe.

The haters of Israel and the Jews in America will pay a heavy price for the elections and the side they chose. So will their children and grandchildren, with compound interest collected by members of the Islamic Ummah. They will tear down the democratic system and the Constitution by using the tools of democracy and the Constitution itself, while shaking the foundations of American existence in ways that have not happened since independence. It will be devastating.

The U.S. will slide into a civil war that will make the wars in Syria and Iraq look like child's play. This is not a maybe. It will happen for sure.

[Forest Park Pharmacy @ForestParkPharm]

My wife and I own Forest Park Pharmacy, and we don't accept insurance. None of it. That decision is exactly why we could fix what happened to a patient today.

A family came in wanting to transfer their kid's antibiotic to us. The child had already STARTED the course. Then, mid-treatment, the insurance company decided the last 14 tablets suddenly needed a "prior authorization" before the other pharmacy could hand them over. A sick kid, halfway through an antibiotic, and the answer was "please hold."

The drug is linezolid. It's a generic. It's been generic for over a decade. It treats serious gram-positive infections — the kind you do NOT want to stop antibiotics in the middle of, because an interrupted course is how you breed resistant bugs and end up right back where you started.

So why the hold-up on a cheap, common generic? Follow the fake math.

Insurance and the PBMs behind them price drugs off a number called AWP — "Average Wholesale Price." People in my industry have another name for it: "Ain't What's Paid." It's a benchmark number, not a real-world cost. On paper, the AWP for just those last 14 tablets is about $2,500.

My cash price for the same 14 tablets? $18.

Read that again. The system that's supposedly "protecting" this family from cost is the same system that inflated an $18 medication into a $2,500 line item, then slapped a prior auth on it to "review the expense" THEY invented. They manufactured the problem, then billed everyone for the privilege of solving it — and made a sick kid wait while they did it.

This is the whole game. When a drug is priced honestly, there's nothing to "manage." When it's priced off a fantasy benchmark, you get spread pricing, PA paperwork, pharmacy phone trees, and delayed treatment — all dressed up as cost control.

Here's the part nobody tells you: roughly 90% of prescriptions are low-cost generics. For the vast majority of what people pick up every day, running it through insurance does two things — raises the real cost and risks delaying your care. That's it. That's the value-add.

That's why we fired the insurance companies. No middleman deciding your kid can't finish their antibiotics on schedule. No fake prices. Just the real number, on the shelf, today.

The medication was always cheap. The insurance was the expensive part.
