The first of May for most people means flowers and springtime, but for Communists it’s May Day, a time to wear red, scrawl something on a poster and shout at people at a big rally. And perhaps block traffic. May Day 2025 is being billed as a major protest turnout event. In New York City, the Democratic Socialists of America, the Communist Party, a few useless unions, and Bend the Arc will be rallying in the streets to “stop the billionaire takeover”. Since Bend the Arc is run and funded by Alex Soros, a billionaire scion notorious for his Hampton parties, the takeover is already here. George Soros, Alex’s dad, put his billions to work building up the American Left. The Working Families Party, which benefited from hundreds of thousands of dollars in Soros money for its candidates, is another participant in the May Day anti-billionaire rallies. Its Instagram motto is “in this house we bully billionaires.” A video put out by WFP claims that the fight is “regular folk against the ultra wea...

In a pivotal moment of the campaign that may have helped Kamala lose the election, Barack Obama got up on a stage in Pennsylvania and rebuked men in general and black men specifically for not being enthusiastic enough about Kamala. “We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all corners of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running,” Obama complained. “Now, I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers. You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses. I’ve got a problem with that. Part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president.” “Putting women down? That’s not acceptable,” he warned. Not only did it not swing black men leftward, it led to a backlash even among many black Democrats. Obama’s claim that black men were more open to supporting Trump because they were sexists was not only insulting, it wasn’t even true because the swing began when Biden was the can...

When President Trump put forward his new envoy to combat antisemitism, Rep. Jerrold Nadler urged Senate Democrats “not to provide the Trump Administration with a single vote to confirm Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun.” Rep. Nadler had opposed the Antisemitism Awareness Act, opposed Trump’s crackdown on campus antisemitism, opposed the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism, and opposed defunding colleges that tolerate antisemitism. CAIR, an Islamist group whose leader celebrated the Oct 7 Hamas attacks, praised Rep. Nadler’s opposition to the Antisemitism Awareness Act meant to protect Jewish students from campus Hamas supporters like the ones that the congressman had been defending in 2025. So it’s not too surprising that Rep. Nadler now also opposes the new antisemitism envoy. While many Jewish groups sent their good wishes to Rabbi Kaploun, joining Nadler in his opposition to the new antisemitism envoy was the anti-Israel group J Street which had lobbied for re...

A high school football team is an unlikely flash point for a national crisis, but before the Massapequa Chiefs can take on their traditional rivals in Farmingdale, East Meadow or Westbury, they have to take on a much tougher team with a much bigger roster (but much worse running skills): the New York State Department of Education. The Long Island team ran afoul of a movement by New York Democrats, the worst team in the state which long ago rigged all the games in its favor, to ban Indian team names. After their out-of-state counterparts took out the Cleveland Indians and the Washington Redskins, the New York Democrats have come for the Massapequa Chiefs. The Massapequa Chiefs have been accused of being offensive. But whom are they offending? The Massapequa have disappeared and members of other tribes are speaking for them. All the media could find to object to the high school football team was a local professor from a tribe whose old territory was 400 miles away What’s offensive about ...

The story of the governor, the transvestite and the tax credit began when Gavin Newsom first ran for office and called on the support of the state’s wealthiest and most famous transvestite. “I’m honored to have your vote,” Newsom told Ru Paul. The celebrity millionaire drag queen endorsed Newsom in the governor’s race and praised him for having “changed the course of history for LGBT Americans” and for legalizing drugs. “Legal weed, baby!” The campaign video posted on Newsom’s social media and on the World of Wonder company which produces Ru Paul’s Drag Race raised legal and campaign issues that were never addressed. Those issues have only become more serious after World of Wonder received a $1.7 million film tax credit for a production listed only as ‘Untitled Drag Queen Movie’. California’s notoriously corrupt film tax credit system exploded under Gov. Gavin Newsom. $192 million in film credits were allocated when Newsom ran for office. California currently offers $350 million in fi...

A handful of years after they cheered a president flanked by armed soldiers declaring half the countries to be enemies of the state, liberals are denouncing President Trump as a dangerous authoritarian. The misinformation censors of yesteryear have suddenly discovered that they love free speech and the men who filled D.C. with federal troops worry about the right to protest. This born-again liberalism fools absolutely no one except the fools virtue signaling it. The majority of liberals cast aside liberal values, they learned to deplore meritocracy, fair play, freedom of speech and all differences of opinion that did not serve their radical cause. They became leftists who play the cynical game of viewing dissent as either a ‘threat to democracy’ or the ‘highest form of patriotism’ depending on whether they’re the ones in power or dissenting. That’s not liberalism. It’s a leftist wolf who puts on sheep’s clothing when he’s being hunted. Liberalism means fundamentally distinguishing bet...

In the weeks before David Horowitz’s passing, he wrote an article and finished another book. In and out of the hospital, he would call me on the phone to relay another idea for a series or another article about the Left. When we worked together on an article about the leftist fifth column, he was exhausted and I told him we could work on it next week. There would be time. He sighed skeptically, knowing perhaps what we only know now, but also with a note of relief. I was wrong. He was right. But of all my mistakes, it was the most understandable. David Horowitz first came down with cancer after 9/11. He wrote about that in ‘The End of Time’. He continued fighting cancer and writing about his experiences facing death in ‘A Point in Time: The Search for Redemption in This Life and the Next ‘. He nearly died in 2015 and wrote about that in ‘ You’re Going to Be Dead One Day: A Love Story’ and then collected all three together in ‘Mortality and Faith’ in 2019. David Horowitz fought off ca...

" Who can count the dust of Jacob or number the seed of Israel ." Numbers 23:10 The sun sets above the hills. The siren cries out and on the busy highways that wend among the hills,  the traffic stops ,  the people stop , and a moment of silence comes to a noisy country. Flags fly at half mast, the torch of remembrance is lit, memorial candles are held in shaking hands and the country's own version of the Flanders Field poppy, the Red Everlasting daisy, dubbed Blood of the Maccabees, adorns lapels. And so begins the Yom Hazikaron, Heroes Remembrance Day, the day of remembrance for fallen soldiers and victims of terror-- Israel's Memorial Day. What is a memorial day in a country that has always known war and where remembrance means adding the toll of one year's dead and wounded to the scales of history? A country where war never ends, where the sirens may pause but never stop, where each generation grows up knowing that they will have to fight or flee. To stand wat...
