I'm not what you'd call a keen observer of the political climate in our country, but I do pay attention, broadly, to what's going on within our two parties. Watching the latest from @billmaher, I was reminded of how we struggle to reconcile our support for an idea we might like, if it’s promoted by a politician we hate. And vice versa. Here though, we have an opportunity - Democrats, in particular - to speak out loudly and clearly against an ideology that has been proven, demonstrably, to be a really bad idea.
It’s alarming to see how quickly communism has been embraced by so many, but it's even more alarming, to see how many have yet to condemn it, in favor of sheltering under a “big tent.” This week, Gavin Newsom dismissed concerns over Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and progressive candidates winning key primaries, stating he would gladly campaign for them. He argued that the party must be in the "addition, not subtraction business" to retake control of Congress.
Not that anyone asked me, but…wow. The candidates that Newsom is referring to here are not subtle. They have clearly articulated precisely what they want, and exactly what they will try to accomplish if they gain power. No borders. No police. No prisons. No Senate. From each according to his needs, from each according to his abilities, and so forth. They are literally quoting Karl Marx, and they are literally on the record as desiring to completely dismantle our government and replace it with actual communism. And the Governor of California says he will campaign on their behalf, if doing so will result in a Congressional win. Truly amazing.
Seems to me, that this is best opportunity Democrats will ever have to make some kind of reasonable appeal to Independents, and those not on board with this administration. This is a chance to affirmatively distance themselves from an ideology that has caused more human suffering than any other scheme dreamt up by man. And yet, they have not.
I understand how unpopular President Trump is in the eyes of many. But if the DSA continues to grow in popularity, and the Democrats actually campaign on their behalf, I think it’ll be the largest political blunder in my lifetime. Unless of course, I’m wrong, and the DSA expands to swallow the Democratic Party, and communism winds up on the ballot. In which case, Ronald Reagan’s warning will haunt us all.

Which is it? Trust the science or plead the 5th? Why on earth would you plead the 5th if everything you did was for the good of the people? Why on earth would you need a pre-emptive pardon for “saving” the people? If you’re responding in defense of this murderer don’t, I don’t care and you’re as willfully ignorant as anyone alive.
PLEASE READ THIS: The congressional redistricting in Tennessee has nothing to do with race. I live in Memphis. This is the reality of the situation:
Rep. Steven Cohen (D-TN) - a white dude - has represented Memphis in Congress for nearly 20 years.
During his tenure, Republicans nominated a BLACK WOMAN as their choice FIVE times.
Democrats could have elected a black woman but she was the wrong political persuasion. So, my question to the black Democrats - did you deny Charlotte Bergmann her seat in Congress because of her skin color or her gender?
Facts matter.
Memphis Democrats loathe black Republicans more than they do white Republicans.
LA has over 40K drug addicts holding Angelenos hostage. All it takes is one to make moms feel too nervous to let their kids just go be kids and explore the quiet streets of their beautiful neighborhood. ENOUGH. We are done being held hostage in our own homes. Vote PRATT today!
I wasn’t happy when Clinton, Obama or Biden won, but I didn’t call them fascist/dangerous/threat to democracy. I didn’t hope someone would assassinate them. I went on with my life with gratitude. Friends on the left, please try this. Your life and our country will be better.
At one point, California had more people applying for unemployment than there were adults in the entire state. $32.6 billion. Gone. Prisoners collected. Dead people collected. I warned them. I begged them not to let the money go out like that. They suspended every rule anyway. The tools to stop this exist. So why are the doors still open? 30 years tracking fraud. This is the biggest in American history.

WATCH as Sen. Mike Lee teaches leftist Sen. Dick Durbin about how the SAVE America Act has provisions so that every American can vote.
That means that the only people who’ll be "disenfranchised" from voting will be illegal aliens.
More than 80% of Americans want voter ID.
Any member of Congress voting against the SAVE America Act - or preventing it from coming up for a vote - is treasonous and should resign.
REPOST for exposure!

Democrats say this is about ICE. It’s not.
ICE is fully funded.
A DHS shutdown would instead stop disaster relief, disrupt TSA, and impede Coast Guard operations.
Chaos for the American people just so Democrats can try to make a point.
