Fentanyl and Slavery Kingpin China Calls the U.S. a ‘Bully’

 The absurdity of China claiming that the U.S. is “bullying” the world is that President Trump is telling countries what he is going to do and is giving them the opportunity to make a deal.  In contrast, China has been underhandedly enslaving nations to debt through China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).  China has 152 countries signed on to the BRI.  The initiative means that Chinese companies have built power plants, roads, railroads, and ports around the world, deepening China’s relationships with Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, all funded by Chinese development bank loans. China’s goal is to play a larger role in global affairs with a 21st-century version of the Silk Road trading routes from China to the Middle East and onto Europe.  With the Chinese government launching more than 3,000 projects, it has “galvanized” nearly $1 trillion in investment, but countries like Italy are realizing that their trade deficit has doubled since joining BRI and are suffering a net loss, which caused Italy to drop out.

Actually, China knowingly and underhandedly set up BRI as a debt trap with many governments not being able to pay them back, and China calls America the “bully”?  In fact, the U.S., India, and others have asserted that China is engaging in “debt trap” diplomacy, which sees China,

making loans they knew governments would default on, allowing Chinese interest to take control of the assets. An oft-cited example is a Sri Lankan port that the government ended up leasing to a Chinese company for 99 years.

Other countries suffering from huge Chinese debt burdens are Zambia and Pakistan.  Remember, 152 countries are signed onto BRI making BRI look like China’s plan for world conquest.  BRI is a brilliantly wicked plan for China’s expansionistic global domination.

With all of this, Communist China and Democrat party leaders are threatening countries seeking to make a deal with President Trump?

Again, one has to question, “So, China calls America the ‘bully’?”

While China is enslaving countries to debt to gain assets in these countries, they are also literally enslaving their own people.  According to the inaugural Global Slavery Index “2.9 million Chinese and 14 million Indians are modern-day slaves though the problem is most prevalent in Africa.”  China’s exploitation of Africa involves “debt traps” for numerous African nations like Chad, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and Nigeria.  Chinese projects continue with protection from armed guards, even when courts order construction to stop.  Farmers are complaining of land grabs and lack of compensation as governments “clear space for newcomers from Beijing.”  Chinese television depicts Africans as racially inferior.  China, being “the world’s largest exporter of goods,” has “forced labor” in nearly all of their industries.  Nearly two-thirds of all forced labor cases are linked to China’s global supply chain.

In the Xinjiang region, China uses the forced labor of Uyghurs to pick cotton used by major fashion brands like Nike, Adidas, Gap, and others.  The Xinjiang region produces over 20% of the world’s cotton.  The Uyghurs are Muslim.  Not only does China enslave these people, but China imprisons them, sends them to indoctrination camps, and conducts mass sterilization

One would think this would be bad enough, but China also is committing “crimes against humanity” according to the chair of the China Tribunal, Sir Geoffrey Nice QC.  Nice’s research has shown that China is enslaving the Falun Gong and Uyghur minorities, killing them, harvesting their organs, and selling their body parts in the transplant industry, earning more than $1 billion a year.

Closer to home, Chinese chemical companies and nationals are trafficking precursor chemicals used to make fentanyl.  DEA Administrator Anne Milgram said, “These companies and individuals are alleged to have knowingly supplied drug traffickers in the United States and Mexico with the ingredients and scientific know-how needed to make fentanyl,” with Wuhan, China being the location which processes the orders.  In fact, Chinese “cartels” are operating in Mexico with the “Los Zheng” wing being identified as “the largest presence in Mexico for the trafficking of fentanyl and methamphetamine.”  Nearly 100,000 U.S. citizens died from fentanyl overdoses in just a little over a year.

On April 25, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun stated, “fentanyl is the U.S.’s problem, not China’s.”

With all of this, perhaps it should be mentioned that China has formally moved to end Christian missionary activity and has recently started playing on Chinese television “old footage of Mao Zedong, the founder of the Chinese Communist Party — and the worst mass murderer in history,”  whose totalitarian policies resulted in the deaths of tens of millions.

China says “peasants in the United States” will suffer from a trade war with China accusing Trump of being a “bully.”  Is President Trump being a “bully” by telling the world what he is doing, imposing tariffs to negotiate fair trade balances and making the tariffs exceptionally high for China to try to convince them to stop their murderous exportation of fentanyl?

It seems that instead of “bullying,” President Trump is standing up to the drug pushing, slavery trafficking, supervillain, kingpin mafia China bully and telling them enough is enough, with Breitbart stating, Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is “tell[-ing] China to change or be changed.”

Karma Comes for CAIR

 This is what the true Jew-hating face looks like of an alleged “civil rights” group.

Noora Shalash let her mask slip as a former leader in CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations). She was caught on camera committing a hate crime. Screaming “f**k the Jews” was merely a prelude to her recent foul-mouthed rant in a midtown Manhattan building. She suggested “ISIS” should “kill them all,” aiming most of her vitriol at an innocent passerby, a Hasidic Jew.

The incident made global headlines, but that was barely a blip on CAIR’s radar screen. Active members know better than to have anti-Semitic meltdowns in public. They get plenty of training and grooming in the more than 30 chapters spread throughout the U.S. and Canada: They must present themselves as “civil rights” leaders, “advancing justice for all.”

Apparently, Shalash was a former member of CAIR who hadn’t been associated with the Kentucky chapter for more than five years. That was most useful for CAIR leaders to distance themselves from the public spectacle. “Unacceptable” was the word used by CAIR -- which must protect its image of “defending the oppressed.” (No matter how many shared her sentiments.) She was on her own to confront criminal charges of aggravated harassment and second-degree hate crime.

If only all of CAIR’s public relations debacles could be swept under the “non-profit” rug like Shalash. Silencing the opposition is one thing (especially those “Islamophobes”), but now they are confronting ugly allegations, from their own rank-and-file in several chapters.

Now CAIR is facing the unthinkable prospect of a former CAIR leader turning the lawfare tables on them.

Lori Saroya was a former leader in CAIR who proved to be more than a troublesome former employee. She had the temerity to accuse the group of “taking money from foreign governments and having ties to terror” groups. She alleged the group was routinely “dishonest” about its use of funds.

A diaper-wearing pervert to get a new vagina, while keeping his penis, courtesy of the taxpayers

 “Deranged” doesn’t even begin to cover the LGBTQ++ qweirdos anymore.

According to a new item by Reduxx journalist Amy Hamm, a diaper-wearing pervert has just won a years-long court battle to force his health insurance provider to cover the cost of a very “unique” surgery: he’s keeping his penis, but he’s adding a fake “neo-vagina” between his male appendage and his…waste hole.

I’m assuming that means he’s lopping off his testes? Blech, who knows.

Allow me to emphasize something though: this is a man who wears diaperssitting in his own excrement from time to time, and now he’s adding a new bacteria trap right next to his poop chute. A bacteria trap that is not a real vagina, which produces good bacteria, and can maintain a healthy balance. This is just going to be a rotting flesh hole, which will no doubt be cross-contaminated while this sicko is wearing his nappy and pooping his pants.

I’m beyond grossed out and disturbed.

But…there’s more. This freak-show is a Canadian citizen, and he’s on the government’s socialized medicine “health” plan…meaning this surgery will be paid for by the taxpayers...to the tune of $70,000.

And…there’s only one surgery center in the world that performs something so grotesque, and that’s in Texas…meaning the taxpayers will now be paying for flights, hotel, per diem, and anything else the progressive courts decide to award him.

EXCLUSIVE: Anti-Trump ‘Resistance’ Leader’s Campaign Bankrolled By Dem Power Broker Tied To Chinese Intel Agency

 Boston Democratic Mayor Michelle Wu’s 2021 campaign received hundreds of thousands of dollars from a fundraiser who is listed by a Chinese intelligence agency as an official, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation discovered.

Gary Yu, the founder of Boston International Media Consulting, helped raise over $300,000 for Wu with the help of a Chinese civic association he leads. However, Yu — whose Chinese name is Yu Guoliang — is listed as an official by an agency of a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence and intelligence service called the United Front Work Department (UFWD), and also operates as a recruiter for the Chinese government, according to reports from the CCP, Chinese state media and civic associations led by Yu.

In Yemen, the Houthi Reign of Terror is About to End

 The qat-chewing, rifle-toting Allahu-akbaring Houthis of Yemen whose attacks on international shipping have forced ships that used to use the Red Sea-Suez Canal route to deliver cargo from Asia to Europe, to instead take a much longer route around the Cape of Good Hope and up the western side of Africa to Europe, are now about to be face a devastating defeat. Although the Shi’a Houthis are only one-third of Yemen’s population, they have been able to dominate the Sunnis.. They have been well-supplied with weapons from Iran in the past, and have continued to remain a threat to shipping, even though they have been subject to attacks by, inter alia, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and most recently, by the United States.

Now comes an announcement that should fill the Houthis, and their ally in Tehran, with dread. Christine Douglass-Williams just wrote about this here, and more on the latest news about the vast army of Yemeni Sunnis that is preparing to launch a huge ground war against the Shia can be found here: “Yemeni gov’t reportedly preparing 80,000 man assault on Houthi-controlled Hodeidah port,” by Yuval Barnea, Jerusalem Post, April 13, 2025:

Yemen’s government is reportedly preparing to launch a massive assault to recapture Hodeidah Port in western Yemen from the Houthis, according to a Friday report in Emirati state media.

If the Houthis lose control of Hodeidah Port, they will be unable to receive the shipments of Iranian weapons on which they have always depended. Deliveries of weapons by air are not a viable alternative; Israel and America have done a good job in damaging the airports under Houthi control, rendering their runways unfit for cargo planes.

Yemen’s internationally recognized government is preparing to mass nearly 80,000 troops for what would be the largest offensive of the civil war, according to statements by Dr. Abdulaziz Sager, chairman of the Gulf Research Center based in Saudi Arabia, on Friday….

The chickens are coming home to roost for the Houthis. They have been making trouble not just for Israel, by using drones to attack Israeli shipping and even targets as far north as Tel Aviv, but have also attacked Western ships, forcing 15% of the world’s shipping that going from Asia to Europe, to be re-routed from the Red Sea-Suez Canal route, and instead taking the route around the Cape of Good Hope and up the west side of Africa to Europe.

Saudi Arabia has a score to settle with the Houthis, who in the past have attacked its oil facilities. Egypt is angry with the Houthis because the re-routing of international shipping has led so far to the country’s loss of $7 billion in Suez Canal revenues. Jordan, too, has seen the shipping that used to deliver goods to the country at its Red Sea port of Aqaba dry up, for the Houthis have been indiscriminate in their attacks on Red Sea shipping.

The Saudis may be delivering weapons to the Yemeni troops from their bulging arsenals just over the border with Yemen. The American planes can provide air cover for the 80,000-strong army that has been formed to deal a final blow to the Houthis. It has been concluded that airstrikes on the Houthis, who have been able to hide in the mountainous region of northern Yemen, are not enough to suppress the group: only a land invasion of Houthi-held territories will finally uproot them.

A previous agreement in 2018 committed the Saudis and the UAE “coalition forces” to end their encirclement of Hodeidah that prevented food and humanitarian aid from reaching all of its inhabitants, innocent civilians as well as Houthi fighters. As part of that agreement, the Houthis promised to remove their forces from the Hodeidah port.

Not only did the Houthis violate the agreement in 2018 to remove its forces from Hodeidah, but they resumed their operations in the port city so as to take over all of it, and to expel all the non-Houthi forces. The Americans, and their Sunni Arab allies in the region, have concluded that the Yemenis themselves will have to take the lead in destroying the Houthis as a military power, and an army 80,000 strong, well-supplied by arms from the Saudis and the Emiratis, and with the promise of American air cover, is right now preparing to sweep through the third of Yemen that is under Houthi control, and to pulverize this last proxy of malevolent Iran.

We should be cheering them on. Pull up a chair. Watch.

This University Just Paid a Hefty Price After Firing a Professor for Criticizing 'Gender-Affirming Care'

 The University of Louisville is paying big time for firing a professor who criticized “gender-affirming care.” The school is paying almost $1.6 million to Dr. Allan Josephson to settle a lawsuit he filed after his unfair firing.


Josephson’s lawsuit alleged that the school demoted him in 2017 and later fired him after he questioned the wisdom of prescribing hormone treatments and surgery for children suffering from gender dysphoria.

Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), which represented the former professor in his lawsuit, noted how well he performed in his position for over a decade before being terminated because of his rejection of progressive gender ideology.

Report: Hundreds of Hezbollah commanders ordered to flee Lebanon

 (April 17, 2025 / Israel Hayom)

Approximately 400 Hezbollah field commanders have been ordered to leave Lebanon for various South American countries, including Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador, according to a report on Wednesday.

A Latin American diplomatic source told Saudi outlet Al Hadath that 200 commanders have already reached South America, with the rest expected to depart Lebanon in due course.

Hezbollah had issued the order due to fears that the commanders could be targeted if and when the organization’s military infrastructure is dismantled by the Lebanese government and military, the source said.

Muslim, Christian parents say school district shoving LGBT books 'down our throats'

 WASHINGTON — Wael Elkoshairi, a Muslim parent who unenrolled his daughter from a Montgomery County, Maryland, public school last year, believes his local school district is "watering down" parental rights and trying to indoctrinate children.

He was among several parents of varying religious backgrounds who spoke outside the U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday to advocate for the right to opt their children out of lessons featuring books that celebrate gender transitioning and same-sex relationships, which they say contradict their religious convictions.


Speaking before oral arguments in the case of Mahmoud v. Taylor, they say that the Montgomery County Board of Education violated their rights by refusing to provide an opt-out for their children, although the county provides opt-outs for other reasons.

Israeli strikes kill senior Hezbollah terrorists in Southern Lebanon

 (April 21, 2025 / JNS)

The Israel Defense Forces on Sunday eliminated two senior Hezbollah terrorist operatives in separate targeted airstrikes in Southern Lebanon.

One of those killed was Hussein Ali Nasr, the deputy head of Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, which is responsible for smuggling weapons and funds into Lebanon.

Nasr played a key role in Hezbollah’s terror army by coordinating with Iranian operatives and overseeing weapons transfers through strategic routes, including Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport, the IDF said.

The strike on Nasr was “part of ongoing operations to eliminate threats to Israeli civilians on all fronts,” according to the IDF.

Why Media Bias Matters

 Say hello to Noah Madrano and, while you’re at it, go ahead and say good-bye, because it’s highly unlikely you’re ever going to see him unless somehow you get sentenced to federal prison, where he’s going to be serving a 50-year sentence for “his heinous crimes”:

PORTLAND, Ore. — A Gladstone, Oregon man was sentenced to 50 years in federal prison today for abducting and sexually abusing a Canadian child he met through a music creation social media platform.
Noah Madrano, 43, was sentenced to 600 months in federal prison, a $5,000 fine, and a lifetime term of supervised release. The sum of restitution he must pay to his victim will be determined at a later date.
“The U.S. Attorney’s Office thanks the FBI special agents and Oregon City police officers who rescued the victim in Oregon and brought the defendant to justice,” said William M. Narus, Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon. “This sentence is a result of the extraordinary efforts of the victim, the victim’s family, their community, and law enforcement here and in Canada.”
“The persistence with which Madrano pursued his heinous crimes — traveling internationally on multiple occasions to victimize a child he met online, and ultimately smuggling that victim across an international border, speaks to how predatory his actions genuinely were,” said FBI Portland Special Agent in Charge Douglas A. Olson. “Madrano will be in his mid-nineties when he is eligible for supervised release. His removal from our communities benefits everyone.”
According to court documents, Madrano met a child online whom he sexually exploited for more than a year. In May 2022, he traveled to Canada to meet the child in person, took the child to a hotel room, sexually abused the victim, and recorded his abuse. A few weeks later, on June 24, 2022, Madrano returned to Canada, where he abducted the child from outside a school and took the victim to another hotel room. At the hotel, Madrano sexually abused the child for several days and recorded videos of his abuse. On July 1, 2022, Madrano hid the child in the trunk of his vehicle and drove back to the United States. Once in Oregon, Madrano brought the victim to a hotel room, where he continued to sexually abuse the child.
In the early morning of July 2, 2022, FBI special agents and Oregon City police officers entered Madrano’s hotel room and found him inside with the victim. Madrano was arrested and the child was taken into protective custody, reunited with her parents, and returned to Canada.
On September 21, 2022, a federal grand jury in Portland returned a six-count indictment charging Madrano with sexually exploiting a child, traveling with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct, transporting a child with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and possessing child pornography.
On January 13, 2025, Madrano pleaded guilty to sexually exploiting a child and transporting a child with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity.

You may ask, what does this have to do with media bias? Well, I learned about the Noah Madrano case from Andy Ngo, who exclusive reported in 2022 that Madrano was involved with an Antifa-aligned radio station:

Sen. Cornyn calls on feds to investigate Muslim-led development for 'possible religious discrimination'

 A United States senator from Texas wants federal prosecutors to investigate a proposed Muslim-led community development for possible religious discrimination against Christians and other faith groups.

In a letter dated April 11 to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon, U.S. Senator John Cornyn, R-Texas, urged the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) for its plans to build a “community of thousands of Muslims” known as EPIC Ranches City.

Since a marketing campaign was launched last month, the 402-acre project has raised concerns from Cornyn and state officials, including Gov. Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton, about violations of federal and state laws. Meanwhile, Muslim advocacy groups have decried the scrutiny as discriminatory, calling for a federal investigation into Texas officials’ actions.

Pro-Hamas/Terrorist protesters vandalize Concordia University’s Institute of Israel Studies

 

Montreal police are investigating after the Azrieli Institute of Israel Studies at Concordia University was vandalized Thursday night.

Police said they were alerted to the university in downtown Montreal after receiving a 911 call at 3:20 a.m. Friday. When officers arrived on campus, they found the building’s windows were shattered and spray painted with messages that included “genocide institute.”

The incident comes just before the major Jewish holiday of Passover this weekend.

Police told CTV News that the vandalism was committed by a few suspects at around 9 p.m. Thursday and that the incident is linked to ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.

The investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made so far.

Tensions have been high on university campuses in recent days, including at McGill University, which saw more acts of vandalism during a three-day pro-Palestinian protest earlier this month. According to McGill Interim Deputy Provost Angela Campbell, dozens of classes were blocked or interrupted, a window was smashed and red paint was sprayed in an office while staff were inside.

Days later, McGill announced that it intended to cut ties with its student union.

Lady Gaga left fans in awe as she took to the stage for a jaw-dropping performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California on Friday night.

It's the second time the pop star, 39, has headlined the annual music event, with her first being in 2017, but this time around she pulled out all the stops. 

The Paparazzi hitmaker ensured it would be a performance fans would never forget, opening her set with track Bloody Mary, in which she donned a showstopping red dress and stood in front of a gothic-style backdrop complete with gargoyles and angels - with some fans likening the visuals to a 'satanic ritual'.

The set, which was split into four acts and described as an 'opera house in the desert' by the singer, then saw Gaga launch into songs including Abracadabra, Judas and Scheiße.

Trump admin. pulls funds from Maine for allowing male double murderer in women's prison

 A former female inmate forced to live with a man in prison commended the Trump administration this week for pulling funding from the Maine Department of Corrections for allowing a man convicted of killing his parents and the family dog to be housed in a women's facility. 

During a Fox & Friends interview this week, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the administration's decision to pull what she described as "non-essential" funding from Maine's Department of Corrections. While she didn't provide an exact amount, the outlet reported that it could be over $1.5 million. 

Bondi referred to Andrew Balcer, a man sentenced to 40 years in prison in December 2018 for the double murder of his parents, Alice and Antonio, on Oct. 31, 2016. He also stabbed the family dog to keep it from barking during the murder.

Iran’s Water Crisis

 Iran is suffering its worst water crisis of its entire modern existence. Decades of neglect and mismanagement of its water infrastructure by the Iranian government, along with geopolitical factors that have cut off Tehran’s access to the foremost experts in water management — the hated state of Israel — are two of the factors. So is the steep rise in Iran’s population, which went from 37 million when the ayatollahs’ regime took over to 90 million today, with the obvious concomitant rise in water use. The nuclear project that Iran’s rulers insist on continuing has cost the country tens of billions of dollars in both direct costs and from the sanctions imposed on Iran by the West — money that might have been spent on water conservation, advanced water-saving irrigation techniques, desalination plants, and even on the Watergen machines, a recent Israeli invention that produce drinking water from the circumambient air. Furthermore, the nuclear facilities require a great deal of water to keep them cooled so that there is no danger of meltdown. Then there are the effects of global warming, that increase the evaporation from lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. All of these contribute to creating the worst water crisis in Iran’s history. More on this crisis, to which there is no simple answer, can be found here: “Iran’s water crisis at tipping point in threat to Islamic regime’s stability,” by Ohad Merlin, Jerusalem Post, March 30, 2025:

“Iran is drying up,” Dr. Sharona Mazalian Levi from The Alliance Center for Iranian Studies at Tel Aviv University affirmed, painting a grim picture of what she described as one of the most pressing environmental challenges facing the Islamic Republic today.

“Iran is facing an unprecedented water crisis that threatens the nation’s stability,” Mazalian Levi said. She explained that multiple factors have converged to create this critical situation, with several major provinces now reaching what she deemed “a tipping point.”

According to Mazalian Levi, the Iranian Energy Ministry declared last week that the provinces of Tehran, Isfahan, Razavi Khorasan, and Yazd are facing a severe water crisis. She highlighted the alarming state of the Karaj Dam, which supplies water to millions in Tehran and the surrounding areas.

The water crisis is almost everywhere in Iran, but at its worst in four of the country’s main provinces, including Tehran. The Karaj Dam on which people in Tehran, the capital, rely, is down to only 6% of capacity. And the water level is still decreasing.

“The Karaj Dam is now at only 6% of its capacity,” she noted, referencing reports from Tasnim news agency that 94% of the reservoir is empty. “This isn’t just an environmental issue; it’s a potential catalyst for civil unrest and disorder that could lead to national instability.”

This water crisis should be distinguished from those which brought Iranian protesters out in the past. In 2009, they were protesting the lack of political freedom. In 2022, demonstrators came out across Iran to protest the killing of Mahsa Amini, a Kurdish Iranian girl, by the morality police who had picked her up for incorrectly wearing her hijab. The water crisis transcends those; it affects everyone in Iran, even supporters of the regime.

Two of the main catalysts for the crisis are what Mazalian Levi named “poor management of the water sector,” as well as a population growth of more than 250% in only 50 years. “This includes over-extraction from natural water sources and aquifers to the point of depletion,” she added.

It ordinarily takes thousands of years for large aquifers to accumulate water, and it will take the same amount of time to fully replenish them.. That makes it essentially a non-renewable resource that Iran, which has recently had almost no rain or snowmelt, has been using up at a dizzying pace. It would have been much better for Iran had it instead relied on husbanding the water it uses for irrigation, and even more important, much better if it had built still more, and more advanced, desalination plants along its shore with the Persian Gulf in the south and the Caspian Sea in the north.

However, Mazalian Levi traced the origins of the crisis further back in history. According to the researcher, following the 1979 revolution, Iran found itself internationally isolated and was forced to develop an autarkic economic system. Religious leaders, including then-supreme leader Ruhollah Khomeini, encouraged citizens to embrace farming and agriculture as a way of life, drawing from texts regarding the Prophet Muhammad himself.

When Ayatollah Khomeini came to power in 1979, Iran became a pariah state. The regime decided it would rely as little as possible on the outside world, and Iranians who had left the land to flock to the cities for work under the Shah were now encouraged to return to rural areas to grow food for the country. This increase in the agricultural economy required more water to be used. However, the water-saving irrigation methods developed by the Israelis, such as drip irrigation, and the advanced desalination plants in whose construction Israel is a world leader, were not available due to the ayatollahs’ determination to have nothing to do with the “Zionist entity.”

A majority of self-identified leftists think political assassination is a societal good

 By Andrea Widburg

Before the 21st century, Democrats were mostly working- and middle-class Americans who believed in the rule of law and loved America. The murderous ones—the violent Black Panthers and Weathermen—existed on the fringe. Now, though, the fringe has moved to the heart of the Democrat party, which is a death cult. And like all death cults, it’s requiring greater sacrifices. The latest manifestation is that a majority of self-identified leftists believe that assassinating people for political ends (e.g., Donald Trump and Elon Musk) is fully justified.

One of the things that radical Muslims and leftists have in common is that they are death cults. The Islamic penchant for rape, torture, and murder on gleefully sadistic scales (e.g., the Yazidis, Israelis, and Christians in Africa) speaks for itself. However, we in the West have been indoctrinated not to recognize the Democrat death cult for what it is.

Abortion, once framed as a rare act to protect women from abuse or death, is now a massive industry with heavy government funding. Women no longer feel it’s a last resort. It is, instead, a first resort to preserve a woman’s comfort level and even something to be proudly “shouted.” Since 1973, it’s estimated that over 63 million babies have been shouted out of existence. Even the pagans limited themselves to sacrificing only a few babies, and they did it out of a desperate need to placate the gods, not to follow their bliss.


The climate change belief system is also a death cult. Its more fervent adherents are open about the need to reduce the human population by 90% or so. The rank and file, who also believe that Mother Gaia (that is, the insensate Earth) can only be saved by erasing the human beings who give the Earth value, won’t speak in terms of mass depopulation, but they will stop having children.

And finally, transgenderism is a death cult. When you are pushing an ideology that encourages people to sterilize their children or themselves, and when you are advocating “care” that radically increases suicide rates...that’s a death cult.

In addition to death, leftism is a violent cult. While leftists like to focus obsessively on January 6, the reality is that the greatest amount of political violence in America is tied to the left. Most recently, George Floyd’s drug death in 2020 led to protests so violent that they resulted in the highest recorded civil disorder damages in American history: $1-2 billion in insured damages and over two dozen people killed. However, the Democrat party’s violent antics stretch back much further:

  • The American Civil War
  • The KKK
  • The 1960s protests
  • The 1970s underground bombings and shootings (e.g., the Weathermen), all of which came from the American left and, as Bill and Bernardine Ayers show, melded into the Democrat party
  • The Ferguson riots after Michael Brown’s suicide by cop
  • The Baltimore riots after Freddie Gray died
  • The 2017 attempt to assassinate the entire Republican House leadership.
  • The antisemitic violence across America’s campuses since October 7, 2023
  • The mourning when the two assassination attempts on Trump failed
  • The celebration of Luigi Mangione for assassinating an insurance company executive
  • The war on Tesla owners, even though those same owners were once leftist darlings because many bought their cars as part of the climate death cult
  • Murder Justification: 31% and 38% of respondents stated it would be at least someone justified to murder Elon Musk and President Trump, respectively.
  • These effects were largely driven by respondents that self-identified as left of center, [fn. omitted] with 48% and 55% at least somewhat justifying murder for Elon Musk and President Trump, respectively, indicating significantly higher justification for violence against these figures.
  • Property Destruction: Nearly 40% of respondents (39.8%) stated it is at least somewhat acceptable (or more) to destroy a Tesla dealership in protest.
  • Psychological/Ideological Correlations with Assassination Culture: These beliefs are highly correlated with one another, as well as with the justification of the murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO and hyper-partisan left-wing ideology.
  • Online Amplification of Radical Ideation: BlueSky plays a significant and predictive role in amplifying radical ideation.

And that’s just what I can think of off the top of my head.


But the blood lust is growing. The Network Contagion Research Institute and the Rutgers University Social Perception Lab conducted a joint poll of 1,264 people to determine their perceptions about politicized violence. Although we’ve all seen the verbal insanity unleashed against Donald Trump and Elon Musk since the election, it was still shocking to learn that a majority of leftists, especially those who escaped X’s allegedly toxic atmosphere for the “safe space” of Blue Sky, support political violence, including assassination:

The findings signal a threat to political stability and public safety. Key data points include:

You can read the whole study here, although I warn you that it’s deeply depressing.

However, it’s not surprising. When it comes to Democrat violence, it’s not just the Antifa types. The mainstream media, whether MSNBC, The Washington Post, CNN, or the harridans of The View, encourage radicalism and constantly hint that violence is an acceptable approach to politics:

Records reveal Liberal government spent $54 million on COVID ads aimed at young Canadians

 OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) — The Liberal government spent $54 million in taxpayer money on COVID propaganda targeting young Canadians.

According to documents obtained through access to information requests by Rebel News, the Liberal government, under the leadership of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, shelled out $54 million on COVID ads beginning in 2021.

The campaign, titled the “COVID-19 Public Health Measures during Vaccine Rollout,” sought to “inform Canadians of the public health measures they need to follow” during the COVID “pandemic.”

The project began in summer 2021 and continued until March 31, 2022. While the program began as a $30 million “national public education” initiative, it later grew into a $54 million campaign to “increase awareness, motivate interest, and generate engagement.”

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) especially targeted young Canadians ages 18-24 because they “may play down the seriousness of the situation.”

A sub-campaign under the $54 million program aimed to convince young Canadians to take the experimental COVID shots on the false claim that they were “safe and effective.”

Since the start of the COVID crisis, official data shows that the virus has been listed as the cause of death for less than 20 kids in Canada under age 15. This is out of six million children in the age group.

The COVID jabs approved in Canada have also been associated with severe side effects such as blood clots, rashes, miscarriages, and even heart attacks in young, healthy men.

During the COVID “pandemic” and vaccine rollout, government subsidized media outlets, particularly the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), worked tirelessly to convince the Canadian public to take the experimental shots and follow irrational COVID regulations.
