Win or lose, fans of the Philly Eagles go out into the street and smash things. Whoever wins on Election Day, leftists will smash things. The election only determines whether they smash up the country from the inside or the outside. Forget all the theory and all the empty policy promises. It’s not about equity, democracy, free college, funding terrorists, defunding the police, breaking the glass ceiling, or any of the other suits the naked emperors and empresses wear. When the champagne corks and pills have been popped, the desire underneath is to destroy it all. Mediocre elites created leftism by sublimating their narcissistic drive to destroy everything superior to them into the revolutionary politics of a purported underclass. But the elites are the oppressed underclass they’ve been waiting for. They fight for their own right to seize power. And they don’t stop fighting once they get it. Stop by a leftist rally and you’ll rarely find anyone who ever worked for a living or intends to

The revelation that Senator Chuck Schumer helped Columbia University cover up antisemitism further diminishes his already sinking status among Jews. The House Committee on Education and the Workforce report on campus antisemitism showed that Sen. Schmuer had told Columbia President Minouche Shafik that “universities political problems are really only among Republicans” and his staff recommended the “best strategy is to keep heads down”. For years, Sen. Schumer had claimed to be a 'shomer' or 'guardian' of the Jewish community. The report reveals that he was a shomer for antisemites. Two years ago, Sen. Schumer enjoyed an 82% approval among New York Jews. In contrast to the 40% unfavorable rating among New Yorkers, only 18% of Jews disapproved. Now he’s tied as 45% of New York Jews have come to hate Chuck. What happened in the last two years to send his approval rating crashing from 82% to 48%? This spring, Schumer agreed to become the public face of the Biden administr

The British government’s chief of staff, head of communications, director of policy and director of strategy have allied with the Kamala campaign while the British government’s ruling Labour Party is working with the Democrats to send staffers to work for her in key swing states. The ‘British invasion’ first began over the summer when top figures in the British government and the Labour party, including Prime Minister Starmer’s Chief of Staff and the heads of the Labour Party headed to the Democratic National Convention with a view, as one put it , to “ensuring we get on the right road to getting a second term”. In October, the British Labour Party’s Head of Operations announced that nearly 100 Labour Party staffers were “heading to North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Virginia” as part of a campaign by ‘Labour for Kamala’. The British Labour Party building a coordinated campaign operation with the Democrat Party and setting up operations in Pennsylvania and Virginia is an unprece

On the last leg of her African tour, Vice President Kamala Harris paid a visit to an otherwise unremarkable office building in Zambia. Her staff and local embassy personnel had spent a great deal of time looking for it and everyone was hoping it was the right place. Kamala, with her Jamaican and Indian roots, needed a tangible connection to Africa to win over African-American voters and convince them that she was one of them. And everyone settled on the office building as being the next best thing because it was the former spot of the building where she had once stayed as a little girl with her Indian mother on a visit to her grandfather. President Hakainde Hichilema welcomed her as “a daughter of our own country, someone who spent time here in her early years.” Kamala responded by launching into a story about having visited “Zambia, Mr. President, as a young girl when my grandfather worked here” as “an advisor to Zambia’s first president, Kenneth Kaunda” to “serve as a director of rel

In Ohio, US Attorney Rebecca Lutzko, a Biden nominee opposed by Republicans, announced the appointment of two federal prosecutors to serve as “election officers”. In Utah, US Attorney Trina A. Higgins, a Democrat donor and Biden appointee, appointed a “district election officer” to stop any “interference or discrimination in voting” and “threats” against election officials. Events in Ohio and Utah are part of a larger unprecedented level of Justice Department intervention in the 2024 presidential election in support of the administration’s party. The DOJ recently sued Virginia and Alabama to ensure that non-citizens would not be removed from voting rolls before Election Day, but those are only a prelude to a more ambitious plan. Shortly after taking power, the Biden-Harris administration created an Elections Threats Task Force to suppress any scrutiny or criticism of election officials. According to Attorney General Merrick Garland, the Elections Threats Task Force was launched in re

“The black man cannot take anymore, he is now looking to burn”   (Donald Warden aka Khaled Al-Mansour) Donald Warden had a message, “the time has come to break with white America.” After the Watts riots, Warden, who would later convert to Islam and take the name Khaled Al-Mansour , released an album titled “Burn, Baby Burn”, celebrating the riots and looting. “The black man cannot take anymore, he is now looking to burn,” he warned. Warden’s vehicle for spreading his hate was the Afro American Association. And that was where Kamala’s parents met. The ‘Association’ had been created to study “Black Identity.” It banned white people and even non-black ones from joining. With only one exception. Kamala’s mother. Shyamala Gopalan, who had been raised in a radical leftist family hostile to British colonialism, eagerly latched on to the hate group and the young black Marxist economist she met there. Along with Donald Harris and Gopalan, Kamala’s parents, other members included Huey Newton an

“If the British had not fought in 1940, Hitler would have been in London and if Democrats do not fight in 1968, Nixon will be in the White House," Vice President Hubert Humphrey warned. Chicago Mayor Daley had accused Nixon of “Hitler type” tactics. Comparing any Republican presidential candidate to Hitler had been a standard Democratic political tactic for some time no matter how inappropriate it might be. Before Democrats were comparing Nixon to Hitler, they were comparing Barry Goldwater to Hitler. Goldwater had a Jewish father and a distaste for Socialism, which would have made him unwelcome in the ranks of the racially and politically pure National Socialists, but that didn’t stop the Hitler accusations from being hurled by the Democratic party and its political allies in the press. Governor Pat Brown of California said, “Goldwater's acceptance speech had the stench of fascism. All we needed to hear was Heil Hitler.” Mayor Jack Shelley of San Francisco claimed that Goldwa

“Why is Kamala Harris working to provide early release for rapists?"   There is a story that Kamala Harris likes to tell about why she became a prosecutor. Her friend was molested by her father and the young Kamala vowed to protect other women and girls. The pledge did not survive her relationship with Mayor Willie Brown, who was accused of covering up sexual harassment, her favorable plea deal for Mayor Bob ‘Filthy’ Filner who was accused by over 30 women of everything from groping them to putting them in headlocks, and alleged sexual harassment by a close associate in her office during her time as attorney general. Harris would not be the first politician who did not practice what she preached. And there are politicians whose personal hypocrisies did not detract from their good management skills. But what was life actually like for women and girls under Attorney General Kamala Harris? In July 2016, a month after California’s rigged primary made Kamala a shoo-in for the Sena

“I say this as someone who’s known her since 1997: She’s trying,” Hala Hijazi assured a panel at an anti-Israel DNC event that once she was president, Kamala would crack down on Israel. Hijazi, a Jordanian immigrant who has roots in Gaza, is close to Kamala and they both came up through the ranks together. The Muslim official and fundraiser had worked as a special assistant to former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown whom she described as a “mentor”. Hala Hijazi was there for all of Kamala’s races, raising money for her Senate campaign, promoting an event co-hosted by Willie Brown, and promising that one day Kamala would be in the White House. And she can be seen posing in 2004 at the Bimbo’s club with Kamala, who had just begun her political career as San Francisco’s DA, and Obama, running for Senate. After obtaining American citizenship in 1994, the Muslim immigrant quickly began climbing the political ladder, working for Willie Brown, becoming a ‘human rights’ commissioner, and getti

The problem with solving problems is that once they are solved, no one needs the solver anymore. The better kinds of problems are recurring problems that ensure customer retention, employing plumbers, locksmiths and police officers, but the best kind are the completely unsolvable problems. And those are the only kinds of problems that the Left wants to solve. Given enough human ingenuity and technological development, most problems can concievably be addressed and that is why the Left has to contrive to make them unsolvable by either causing the problem (homelessness), defining it in such a way that it is inherently unsolvable (equity), defining the inappropriate problem while obscuring the actual problem (gun violence) or inventing fake problems (global warming) that can never be solved because they don’t exist in the first place. Why create unsolvable problems? They’re a virtually infinite source of money and power. The Left came into being by defining inequality as its signature pro
