Democrats Want to Close the Prisons, Except Not for People Like You


The current trend of Democratic Socialists of America goobers going on Fox and proudly coming out for all the weird and stupid things they support is akin to the phenomenon of a few years ago where you had furries publicly and proudly proclaiming their bizarre identity, except the people pretending to be cartoon foxes and wombats were less embarrassing. As dumb and creepy as it is to dress up as an anime marsupial and admit that their furry fetish tops “sincere people” and “long walks on the beach” on their list of turn-ons, at least the furry strange-os didn’t murder 100 million people over the last century. Of course, it’s probably only because their costumes don’t provide opposable thumbs to hold the guns.

It’s both amusing and horrifying to watch these DSA out n’ proud people in action. It’s pretty clear they never got the memo: you’re supposed to hide the most insane parts of your agenda so normal people can be suckered in. It’s like being inside a Trojan horse, which probably has a slightly different meaning to these perverts; you want to come across as someone vaguely relatable and then only reveal your true self when you come to power. But it’s hard for them to resist the limelight. They’ve never been in the limelight before. Look at these goofs. They are a hapless collection of weirdos, losers, and mutations, the kind of people who, in a civilized society, would’ve been bullied in middle school and high school into something near normality. Along the way, our society made the mistake of celebrating freaks, and now we’re overrun by them. Worse, in some places, we’re going to be run by them.

And that’s a problem. Socialism is bad. It’s strange that you have to say it, but people seem to forget most of the 20th century when socialism, the fantasy ideology of the evil, the envious, and the cruel, was both put into practice and thoroughly repudiated. The heaps of the dead are testimony to its inevitable result. They try to get around the truth of history by claiming that true communism has never been tried—yeah, I know there is supposed to be a difference between socialism and communism, but that’s like the difference between syphilis and AIDS; one is an inevitable gateway infection for the other, and you certainly don’t want either. But based on the world’s experience with this political pathology, true communism probably means 200 million dead. Maybe even more.

Some people who, for whatever reason, cannot accept the fact that other people are just plain evil will try to whitewash Marxism by arguing that it’s merely bad policy. See, it doesn’t work, they tell you, as if that’s the reason you don’t want to put it into practice. But it’s an inhuman and anti-God ideology that twists and perverts human nature to elevate lies and murder over truth and justice. As these creeps demonstrate, socialism is simply a means for losers to take from productive people what they’re too lazy and stupid to generate on their own. That’s why you never see one of these Marxists looking forward to the revolution where they get to be the guy digging the sewer line or manning a garbage truck; no, after the revolution, the cadres are going to be the ones composing genderfluid poetry or doing interpretive dances in their gardens, conveniently forgetting that the gardens wouldn’t be theirs, nor would anything else.

No, the evil of socialism is not a bug, but rather a feature. Remember, it’s driven by hate—hate of the normal, hate of the smarter, hate of the better, hate of your parents who just didn’t get you. And every single time it’s put into practice, we see the same thing. Since everything in socialism goes against human nature, you need an apparatus of repression designed to force people to accept what nature rejects. There’s not a socialist country without thuggish police. There’s not a socialist country where you can speak freely. There’s not a socialist country where you are free because your freedom defeats the whole purpose of socialism, which is ensuring your submission to the cadres.

We could go through all their policy prescriptions, from open borders to amnesty to free everything for everybody, thanks to the people like you who have to work to generate this bounty while the cadres are busy playing their lutes. Socialism is not about making lives better or creating prosperity or security or any of those things. It’s about jerks living out their personal psychodramas while they get off on making you miserable.

Nothing demonstrates that more than the idea of defunding the police and getting rid of prisons. After all, you wicked normal people deserve to have thugs, junkies, murderers, rapists, and other Democrat constituencies turned on you to make you pay for the crime of being you. You need to understand the deep hate that lives within all these people, and that’s why, in every single leftist sector of society, you see the actual criminals not merely being ignored but being idolized. The DSA types would free these barbarians for the express purpose of allowing those barbarians to hurt you, because you deserve to be hurt. You deserve to be killed. You deserve to be raped. Why? Because these freaks don’t like you and it amuses them to see you in pain.

But there’s a practical side to it too. The old Soviet Union understood it. Regular criminals were victims of society, and you, being the foundation of society, need to be victimized in return. If you were a regular criminal, you were treated infinitely better than someone who committed a real crime, that is, a political crime. If you opposed the regime, then you were a real criminal.

So all this stuff about closing the prisons is just nonsense. Same with defunding the police. The DSA types have no intention of ending prisons or ending the police. They just intend to change the target demographic from actual criminals to people like you who stand up and demand your rights. In the socialist paradigm, the only real crime is opposing the socialists. And they would not hesitate to lock you up or murder you if you get in their way.

Now, some people point to the social contract by which we give up our natural right to seek justice from those who wrong us in favor of the procedures we set up through our democratic government. This allows prosecution and punishment to be taken away from what are sometimes called vigilantes and given to our properly constituted government. And these folks critique the DSA prison-closing/police-defunding agenda by pointing out that we could just become vigilantes and do the justice dispensing ourselves. But of course, that would never happen, because the socialists would see vigilantism as an actual crime. Exercising power outside of the socialist structure is unforgivable. Oh, you can rape and molest and murder to your heart’s content, but cut into the party’s action? That’s when the gloves come off. That’s when the underfunded secret police are set upon you and haul you off to the unclosed gulag with the other uppity kulaks.

Socialism isn’t a bunch of 1960s ethnically homogeneous Swedes paying 55 percent in taxes to live moderately comfortably in clean and safe Stockholm. It’s Los Angeles in 2026 where a hobo is crapping on your lawn. It’s London in 2026 where you get arrested for tweeting unapproved things. It’s Spain in 2026, where a zillion Third World barbarians without shirts jump the border and run past cheering 20-something lefty girls in a grand de-reconquista.

We’ve actually been spoiled when it comes to defeating socialism. In the 1980s, Ronald Reagan smashed the big socialist enchilada without firing a shot. The USSR collapsed under its own weight, but that was in large part because there was a counterexample, the glorious United States of the ’80s, a beacon to the rest of the world demonstrating that there was something better. But now, the socialists are hitting everything at once. They don’t want a counterexample hanging around out there. They don’t want people to know that there’s an alternative and to be able to peacefully undo their color revolution. We were spoiled, because we defeated socialism without much bloodshed in the big scheme of things.

But this time, we may not get off so easily. Socialists don’t always just give up. Chile overthrew the communists by throwing a bunch of them out of helicopters. The Spanish Nationalists defeated a communist-run revolution through years of fighting. Once the DSA-types get power, do you think they’ll just give it up if we ask nicely? Understand what kind of America these DSA types want. Understand that they will use the engines of government, including the courts and law enforcement, against you. Understand that there will still be crimes; it’s just those crimes will be saying what you think, praying how you want, and owning guns.

The last part is key. The last part is your backstop against perpetual tyranny. The last part is why they want you disarmed. So, buy guns and ammunition, because once the suckers and saps vote us into socialism, there is no voting our way back out of it.


Podcast thread for August 3rd

 


Zzzzzzzzz..... 🀦‍♀️

Don't Be Fooled, All the Democrats Are Marxists


It is quite amusing to watch the internal squabbling in the Democratic Party because of the emergence of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). There are those who are trying to disavow these Marxists, but in fact, they are all Marxists. I mean, seriously, Rahm Emanuel, the fella who said, "never let a good crisis go to waste," was right there with the OG Marxist, Barack Hussein Obama. Let's not forget Obama's statement to Joe the Plumber about "spreading the wealth around." That statement certainly aligns with Marx's statement on wealth redistribution: "from each according to their ability, to each according to their need." And then there is James Carville, who recently stated on a leftist podcast that Democrats should just lie during the campaign, then do what they want when they win. Sounds a lot like the Islamist principle of taqiyya.

These "mainstream" leftists are angry with the DSA because they are not hiding the fact that they are Marxists. They are overtly professing their allegiance to the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. These mainstream leftists are closet, covert Marxists and prefer to use deception to still attain their goals. As Vladimir Lenin said, "the goal of socialism is communism," the two economic and societal models of Marxism.

The DSA says that they want to abolish the Supreme Court, but the mainstream leftists have stated that they want to "pack" the SCOTUS. Truthfully, there is little difference in what they wish to achieve, ya know, a "fundamental transformation." The DSA says that they want to abolish the Senate. The mainstream leftists say that they want to end the filibuster and give statehood to Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico, effectively solidifying leftist control of the U.S. Senate ad infinitum. The DSA wants a pure democracy with a dominant House of Representatives. They do not believe in equal representation among the states. The mainstream leftists are supporting the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC), Virginia being the latest leftist state to join, bringing the total to 18 states plus the District of Columbia. The NPVIC says that regardless of who wins the presidential vote in their respective states, they will only give their electors to the one who wins the national popular vote. Talk about disenfranchisement of voters and a threat to our representative democracy.

Staying with threats to our representative democracy, mainstream leftists want illegal immigrants to vote in our elections. Don't believe me? Look at what was just uncovered in New Jersey!

The DSA wants open borders. Well, so did Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and they enacted a policy to that end, to the detriment of our national sovereignty, along with our safety and security.

Mainstream leftists and the DSA both want to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement, meaning turning America into a great big ol' sanctuary for illegal aliens and the criminal gang element associated. And if there is no ICE, there is no enforcement. And we know that mainstream leftist governors are signing into law dictates to prevent duly elected constitutional law enforcement agencies, sheriffs’ offices, from cooperating and collaborating with ICE to enforce our immigration laws. That is happening in Maryland and New York, as well as Illinois, California, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Washington, and Colorado.

We know that mainstream leftists and the DSA both want to "reinvent" law enforcement, meaning defund the police, if not abolish them, along with prisons.

And on top of that, disarm law-abiding American people. Couple that with the activist judges who release violent criminals out onto the streets, and what do you think happens?

Yes, totalitarian power and control, resulting in the wanton coercion, intimidation, and violence against those who disagree with the Marxists. I think the reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk tells the story.

The mainstream leftists and the DSA both want an onerous "progressive" tax system to enable their wealth redistribution scheme. They all use the language of "paying your fair share," which is a nebulous and undetermined percentage solely based upon the whims of Marxist tyrants.

They both want to nationalize our economic production, which is exactly what Obamacare did to our healthcare system, but it is still not enough. Both the mainstream leftists and the DSA rant that healthcare is a right and demand Medicare for All, which will certainly collapse our healthcare system. Yours truly would have had to go on that wait list for the hip replacement surgery I had last December. And remember, Kamala Harris promoted the end of private health insurance; that is some Marxist bovine excrement.

So, let's not be fooled; there is no such thing as "moderate" Democrats or a Democratic Party establishment; they are all Marxists, whether overtly or covertly. They all possess a virulent hatred of our Republic and our ally Israel. The political fault lines in America are aligned with the philosophies of governance: Marxism, Islamism, and Constitutional Conservatism (Classical Liberalism). As I stated last week, these leftists are hardly liberals. As for the delusional, weak Republicans who enable the Marxists, they resemble the Loyalists/Tories of our Revolutionary War. Shame upon those who refuse to support election integrity and the SAVE America Act.

The American ideal is rooted in individual rights, freedoms, and liberty, not the warmth of collectivism. The men who would cross the frozen Delaware River 250 years ago this December would be appalled at the cancerous ideologies we have allowed to fester in the cells of our Republic.

These are, truly and indeed, the times that try men's souls. Summer soldiers and sunshine patriots need not apply.

Marco Rubio Finally Reacts to Those Viral Couch Memes, Reveals WH Prankster Who Won't Let It Go


RedState 

Let's face it, it's 2026 and if you're in the public eye long enough, you're likely going to find yourself the subject of a meme sooner or later.

Sophie Cunningham's pointing meme broke the internet earlier this summer. Anthony Fauci scribbling in his diary in his preteen girl's bedroom while wearing fluffy pink socks had a moment this week.

And, of course, there's the meme of Secretary of State Marco Rubio that just won't die. It has taken many hilarious forms over the last 18 months, but we've never heard from Rubio himself how he feels about his internet fame ... until now.

The original photo of Rubio that marked (or should we say "marced"?) him for internet glory was taken on February 28, 2025, during an Oval Office bilateral meeting between President Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky's staff filled the sofa on the left and Trump's the sofa on the right.

Rubio was caught sitting with his hands in his lap and a stern, kind of glum look on his face. He didn't look at all comfortable, and not just because there was a tense Trump-Vance-Zelensky blow up happening at the time.

It's the photo that launched a thousand memes, and was truly lightning in a bottle. It was the right look that hit at the exact right time, just as President Trump was assigning him additional duties within the administration, including running NASA and the Archives. 

Rubio's exasperated expression screamed: what's next?

In an interview with Lara Trump on her Fox News show, My View with Lara Trump, Rubio revealed he hated the picture, but thinks the memes are funny: "What happened is, on that couch, if you don't have a pillow behind your back, you kind of sink... I don't really follow it very closely, but people have shown me pictures... It's funny."

🚨 LMAO! Sec. Marco Rubio just dropped this hilarious reaction to the viral meme of him sinking into the couch:

"I HATED that picture! In that couch, if you don't have a pillow, you kind of sink. I look terrible! Then it turned into this other thing, it's funny...Dan Scavino made a whole BOARD for me, and he's updated it with all the different pictures."

Rubio also revealed that Dan Scavino, director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office, presented him with a board that catalogues all the memes as they hit social media, from airline pilot and beekeeper to DJ and newest ruler of Venezuela.

(You'll notice in more recent photos, Rubio often now sits forward when his presence is required on that couch, lest it swallow him whole.)

At least Rubio can take comfort in knowing that although the couch may have done him dirty, the internet has made him a legend.

Now, for goodness sake, could someone please get the man a pillow? 


What Colorado Socialist House Nominee Says About Communism Is Raising Some Eyebrows


RedState 

We're seeing some of the socialists making the various media rounds. 

Mostly that's a good thing, as we saw with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) national co-chair Megan Romer laying out all the crazy things that they believe in a recent Fox News interview. For anyone thinking this was harmless, that was a great wake-up call as to how unhinged and wrong these ideas are. 

On Sunday, Colorado Democrat congressional nominee Melat Kiros, who is running for the 1st District, appeared on PBS' Firing Line program with Margaret Hoover. 

Kiros admits she's a socialist and DSA member, but Hoover asked, "Are you a communist?"

Kiros denied it. 

Hoover asked how she would tackle the criticism that some of the DSA members were communists, including half the leadership. 

Her reply hit the heights for ridiculousness. "Well, some members of the Democratic Party are proudly proclaiming themselves capitalists," she shrugged. "It's a big tent." 

"Until a self-proclaimed communist wins an election," she contended, "It's just noise from the Republican Party."

So let's see what she's admitted there. She has no problem being in the DSA with communists. 

She only thinks it's worth mentioning if the communist says he's a communist? If he/she is lying to fool you, it's cool? She's in an organization with communists, but apparently that's just "noise," not a comment on her bad choices and horrible policy.

Then what is that comment about capitalists? Communism is an evil ideology responsible for the deaths of millions. Meanwhile, capitalism has lifted billions out of poverty. 

Then she also claimed the "evidence" shows that socialism has proven to be the only system designed to deliver on the "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" outlined in the Declaration of Independence. 

The whole underpinning of our system is individual rights. That is completely at odds with socialism

What "evidence" to support what she's claiming? She doesn't put forth anything to support what she says in that clip. 

Then, too, as we see with some socialists like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, they smile a lot to look pleasant, as though there's no reason to question the unhinged things they have to say. 

It's a dangerous grin that hides the harm in the ideology. 


Democrat Who Belongs to a Racist Country Club Attacks DHS Over 'White Supremacy'



There are a lot of tone deaf Democrats out there, but Sheldon Whitehouse is near the top of that list. He belongs to a country club that does not allow minorities as members, and refuses to give up his membership. Meanwhile, he has no problem pointing his finger at everyone else and accusing them of being racist or white supremacists. 

He's doing it again with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and accusing the agency of using "white supremacist materials" to recruit ICE agents.

"At the beginning of the year, we began to get information that ICE recruitment materials were heavy on right-wing, white supremacist stuff. Songs, imagery, language associated with the white supremacist movement, even back to Nazi times," Whitehouse said. "So I wrote this letter on February 23 to Secretary Noem saying please explain what's going on with your recruitment, who's doing it, and why is this imagery in there. Well, we never got an answer."

"So Secretary Mullin then took over, and I sent him a polite reminder letter April 1, saying here's the letter I sent to Secretary Noem, she's gone now, this should be in somebody's inbox," he continued. "I attached the letter and said would you be good enough to explain to me about ICE's recruitment tactics and why all this weird right-wing, white supremacist stuff seems to be in the recruitment materials." 

"Well, I didn't get answer so I tried again on June 10," Whitehouse added. "And most recently, July 29."

His letter went unanswered because the claims are baseless. As Republicans proved during hearings with the head of the Smithsonian, the Left defines politeness, punctuality, hard work, and other civil behavior as "white supremacy."

They've rendered the phrase all but meaningless, and the Southern Poverty Law Center was busted paying to keep the racist ideology alive in a nation where it has long since died.

Whitehouse got dragged for this.

Maybe then he'd care about his membership there.

Seems pretty racist to us.

He is not a serious person.

Wouldn't surprise us.

The irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife.

Notice he didn't, because he can't.

We're tired of Democrats labeling everything racist or white supremacist just because President Trump is enforcing our immigration laws.


Spanish Police Finally Crack Down, but on the Wrong People

Spanish Police Finally Crack Down, but on the Wrong People


Things in the Spanish town of Ceuta are not going well. Days after hordes of Moroccan invaders overwhelmed the borders in the town on the African coast, it seems the police are finally doing something to silence the Spanish citizens objecting to this African invasion of their nation. 

According to some video, the police were using batons against those who were objecting to how the Spanish government handled the invasion

Is anyone surprised by this? Europe has a long history of welcoming and protecting so-called migrants while punishing the citizens who question or object.

Hmm, indeed.

It's a total mystery why people are upset about this. Total mystery.

The chaos is the point.

Yes. The biggest yes in the history of yes.

It's clear lots of leftists have read Alkinsky.

Because attacking the bad guys is racist.

CNN and the New York Times have both reported that most of the invaders went back to Morocco. Few are buying that, and countries like Italy and Finland want to bar Spain from the visa-free Schengen Area, which would allow these invaders to travel to 29 other European nations. Spain, for its part, not only promised amnesty to these illegal aliens, but the Spanish Supreme Court recently ruled that any migrants captured at sea could not be immediately deported. 

This was entirely predictable, and it illustrates what a nation without borders looks like. Remember that the Democratic Socialists of America want to abolish our borders, and allow this to happen here on a daily basis, much like it did under the Biden regime.
