Like many Democrat-run cities across the country, Seattle is a hot mess when it comes to combating crime, with city “leaders” often demanding hands-off approaches to things like confronting street thugs, repeat offenders, violent wacktivists, and the like.

Though this approach has been favored for some time now by the Democrats and socialists who hold all the power, Seattle’s openly socialist mayor, Katie Wilson, took things to a whole new level once she took office, making stupid and dangerous decisions like these, for example:

Mamdani is planning on ignoring them. Hitler-with-a-happy-face is counting on the sharia-compliant Democrat socialist media axis to frame his visit in a positive way and censoring any protest or the tens of thousands of people who will turn their back on him.

A man who lost his wife that morning is asking the mayor of New York City not to come…. Referring to what we’re seeing from today’s Democrats: This is something else. A political movement increasingly afraid to say the words “Islamist terrorism” while portions of its own coalition flirt openly with ideas that are hostile to American law, American institutions and, in some cases, America itself. And now we’re having the argument at Ground Zero. That’s what gets me. Ground Zero. There are approximately eight million other places in New York City where politicians can conduct their ideological experiments. Leave this one alone. Because September 11 belongs first to the people who never came home. It belongs to the firefighters whose photographs still hang in firehouses across the city. It belongs to the police officers who walked into hell. It belongs to the children who grew up without mothers and fathers. It belongs to people like Giovanni Galante, who has lived twenty-five years without his wife (Townhall).

Socialist Democrat Melts Down in Defense of Hasan Piker, Demands Party Focus on Targeting ‘White Christians’ & ‘Broligarchs’– slaynews.com

A socialist Democrat poised to represent much of Philadelphia in Congress erupted at members of his own party for distancing themselves from far-left streamer Hasan Piker, who has faced mounting condemnation from prominent Democrats over his controversial rhetoric.

Pennsylvania State Rep. Chris Rabb (D-Philadelphia) is heavily favored to win Pennsylvania’s deep-blue 3rd Congressional District in November.

Rabb lashed out as Democrat leaders are increasingly condemning Piker.

“This is what the institutionalists are focusing their efforts on now: Disavowing Hasan Piker,” Rabb wrote Friday on X.

“Not White Christian nationalists? Not the broligarchs? Not the AI overlords?

“Nope, the guy encouraging young people to use their collective political power for good.”

Rabb concluded his response with an expletive.

EXCERPT:

Well, this probably wasn’t on anyone’s scoreboard coming into Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s ballyhooed running of New York City.

As most could tell you, the far left — which Mamdani has acknowledged he’s a card-carrying member of — and worker’s unions have long been viewed as “on the same side.”

(There’s a reason President Donald Trump worked overtime to win worker’s unions in the lead-up to the 2024 election.)

But despite ostensibly being “on the same side,” it appears that Mamdani’s first true PR battle in the Big Apple won’t be against some conservative or Republican.

No, he appears to be going to war with the local teacher’s union — and some conservatives are actually lauding Mamdani for his stance on this.

And no, that’s not a typo. That’s literally how The New York Times frames it.

“By Fighting Union Pay Bonus, Mamdani Wins Rare Praise From Conservatives,” the outlet proclaims in its headline.

Amid ruinous pro-trans policies advanced by Democrat lawmakers around the country and a seemingly interminable string of horrific attacks allegedly plotted and/or executed by trans-identifying radicals, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services commissioned a study on the connection between gender ideology and leftist authoritarian beliefs.

The findings in the study published on Wednesday are damning — but likely won’t surprise anyone who has been paying attention.

‘Greater political liberalism independently predicted higher justification of political violence as well.’

The new study commissioned by HHS, titled “Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left- Wing Authoritarian Psychology?,” is the latest addition to the genre of scientific literature confirming what the right already knew.

The research team behind the study included Joel Finkelstein, chief science officer and co-founder of the Network Contagion Research Institute; Lee Jussim, head of the Social Perception Laboratory at Rutgers University; and Colin Wright, an evolutionary biologist who serves as a fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

Together, they developed a “Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale,” measuring endorsement of five positions related to gender ideology.

Socialist Tide Turning? America’s Biggest Union Won’t Endorse Mamdani-Backed Leftist House Candidates– www.westernjournal.com

EXCERPT:

When even labor unions are turning their back on the tide of radical socialist Democrats vying for office this midterm cycle, it’s getting bad.

On Wednesday, the New York chapter of the AFL-CIO — America’s largest labor union — issued its endorsements for November.

Noticeably absent from the candidates backed by the left-leaning organization were three leftist House candidates, two of whom were insurgents backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

The move comes as the socialist and progressive tide seems to be ebbing.

After huge primary wins for the far left in June and July, August brought only a narrow victory by heavily favored Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan Senate primary and an embarrassing loss by Francesca Hong, up by double-digits in the polls, in the Wisconsin gubernatorial primary.

Only state Rep. Angie Nixon’s victory in the Florida senatorial primary provided any semblance of an upset win — and even that came at the cost of potentially putting the seat into play, with the victory making it almost certain that Republican interim Sen. Ashley Moody would win a full term.

In the Wednesday endorsements from the AFL-CIO, the New York Post reported, three House candidates that have been embraced by the far left — Darializa Avila Chevalier, Brad Lander, and Laura Gillen — were snubbed by the labor group.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he was “deeply saddened” by the death of a Rikers Island inmate charged with murdering a shop owner with a meat cleaver in an unprovoked attack.

“I am deeply saddened by the death of a New Yorker in City custody at a jail on Rikers Island early this morning,” Mamdani said. “My thoughts are with his family and loved ones as they grieve this loss.”

Mamdani said officials have not yet determined what caused the inmate’s death.

“We do not yet know the cause of death, but we do know that too many New Yorkers have died on Rikers Island,” he said.

The Department of Correction and its oversight partners will investigate the circumstances surrounding the death, according to Mamdani. The mayor also renewed his administration’s commitment to improving conditions in the city’s jail system and closing Rikers Island “as quickly as possible.”

The inmate had been charged with killing a shop owner in an unprovoked meat-cleaver attack. Clarence Woodward, a 39-year-old homeless parolee, was arrested following the August 8, 2024, attack at the 303 Laundromat in the Bronx. He was charged with murder, manslaughter, and assault.

Most people do not go to Ivy League schools. Most people do not live in a $1.5 million home in Brooklyn. This is why it is bizarre, yet hypocritical, that someone reaps the fruits of someone else’s labor in such a way while also demanding the rich pay their fair share.

DSA co-chair Gustavo Gordillo is a double-standard rich kid who reaps the fruit of his parents’ labor. His parents went beyond the American Dream, and to call Gordillo an ungrateful, spoiled brat would be an understatement.

To put it into perspective, here are his past comments:

To claim his parents had “success” would be an understatement.

According to The Post Millennial:

Gordillo lives in a $1.5 million Brooklyn home that’s owned by his parents. The two-story, 2,000-square-foot home in Bed-Stuy, a neighborhood that has been increasing in value over the past few decades, “was bought in 2019 by his mommy and daddy through a dummy corporation, Chucuito LLC, for just under $1 million,” the New York Post reports.

Watch Louder with Crowder every weekday at 11:00 AM Eastern, only on Rumble Premium!

The Democratic Party should be doing everything in its power to ensure the American people are better off. Instead, they do nothing except fight against your best interests. The solution is to not engage in an “experiment” with the American people, but Hilary Clinton just said the quiet part out loud.

According to Clinton, the Democratic Party is “going through an experiment” to see “who can actually respond to young people’s very real concerns.”

Can anyone name the last time the Dems have made life more affordable or helped to increase your quality of life? No? I didn’t think so.

According to Fox News:

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the Democratic Party’s current “experiment” amid the rise of democratic socialist candidates “healthy,” drawing swift conservative backlash from critics who accused her of embracing the party’s socialist wing.

It is bizarre that rather than fixing these “concerns” now, they are waiting for even more progressive candidates to come in and usher in their leftist utopia.

“The Democratic Party right now is, I think, going through a kind of experiment, like who can actually respond particularly to young people’s very real concerns about where they are at this point in their lives and what kind of future do they have for themselves? I think that is healthy,” said Clinton.

The Democratic Socialists of America are becoming a problem for progressive Democrats who continue to hope nudging America towards progressivism is a better strategy than ripping the American band-aide off.

With the rise of Democratic Socialists within their own party, the Democrats are allowing Americans a clear choice between America and the Progressive state. So far, the DSA is causing some formerly strong DNC seats to become leans Democrat, but the voting population has yet to abandon these openly anti-American insurrectionist candidates.

Guess Who Abdul El-Sayed Blames for Islamic Terrorism– townhall.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Islamic terrorism has been a problem for ages. Going back centuries, Islamic factions have engaged in behavior that fits the modern-day definition of terrorism. This predates the founding of America, and shortly after American independence, the Barbary States (Tripoli, Algiers, Tunis, Morocco) attacked and seized American ships. Envoy Thomas Jefferson and John Adams met with Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman. In a report to Secretary of State John Jay, Jefferson and Adams said, “The ambassador answered us that [the right] was founded on the Laws of the Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”

So this is a problem with Islam, not America. But guess who Abdul El-Sayed blamed for current-day Islamic terrorism?

That’s right: the U.S.

In California, we know the saying all too well. “Get rid of Gavin Newsom!” 

Thanks to term limits, we finally will be rid of the elaborately coiffed governor — but his replacement might be even worse, if Democrat machine candidate Xavier Becerra bests his GOP opponent Steve Hilton in November.





“Toss Bass back in the water!”

Sounds good, but if the appropriately named Karen loses her LA mayoral race, we’ll get Democrat socialist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, who would much rather cater to the homeless and let her district turn into part of the third or fourth world than she would to lift a finger to clean it up.

Wisconsin is now finding out that when you’re dealing with modern Democrats, oftentimes there simply are no sane candidates.

Rep. Francesca Hong (WI-76), the “old white people” hating socialist, was widely expected to win the Badger State Democratic gubernatorial primary, but in a neck-and-neck finish earlier this August, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley pulled out the win.

Good news, right? Sanity prevailed, and the more “moderate” candidate was chosen. Except, not so much. Turns out Crowley is a far-left extremist too, just maybe slightly less so than Hong.

NEW from @foxnews: @DavidCCrowley went all-in on DEI and the Green New Deal agenda in Milwaukee County.

He “embraced racial-equity budgeting,” expanded the county’s equity bureaucracy, and adopted climate plans that threaten even higher costs on Wisconsinites.

All while raising taxes on working families.

He calls himself a moderate, but Crowley is just another radical Democrat.

For a moment it may have seemed like sanity won out, but that’s getting to be an increasingly impossible prospect when dealing with 2026 Democrats, who have all but started to put pictures of Karl Marx on their campaign signs. Although the Dem establishment backed Crowley over the Fidel Castro wannabe Hong, he’s not actually all that much better:

David Crowley, the Milwaukee County executive who defeated Hong after being cast as the more moderate choice, has overseen racial-equity budgeting, expanded the county’s equity bureaucracy and urged the Wisconsin attorney general to sue fossil fuel companies for environmental-related damages. Meanwhile, Crowley has also shared ground with Hong on taxing millionaires and ambitious carbon-neutrality goals.

“Milwaukee County is known for its beer and brats, but unfortunately it’s also the epicenter of David Crowley’s budgetary boondoggles. Under Crowley’s failed leadership, residents received their largest property tax hike in 15 years, paid higher sales taxes for everyday purchases, and saw millions of their hard-earned tax dollars set up to finance Crowley’s Green New Deal ‘Net Zero’ scam for the county,” Wisconsin native and Republican consultant Mark Bednar told Fox News Digital.





Crowley’s Trump-backed GOP opponent, Rep. Tom Tiffany (WI-7), would like a word:

Wisconsin voters have a decision to make in November: do they want to become the next California? They averted the prospect of the Thanksgiving-hating Francesca Hong, but is David Crowley a step up? Survey says: nope.

“Frightening” is perhaps a word used too often by people on both sides of the political aisle when reacting to polls that seem to capture a momentous societal change. But when Dennis Prager is the one giving the warning, I listen carefully.

In a discussion with PragerU Executive Director Allen Estrin, Prager broke down a new CBS News/YouGov poll showing that 58% of Democrats view socialism favorably, while only 32% favor capitalism. This is a subject about which Prager, whose field of study in graduate school was communism, is qualified to speak. But who cares about that credential when “socialism, much less democratic socialism, is not communism,” as CNN Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins has said, right?

Prager wasted little time dispelling that argument with a brief history lesson:

The record of socialism in terms of human suffering, human death, human enslavement is the worst record in recorded history. In one—I won’t even say a century—inside of about 50 years, 100 million, 100 million people were murdered by socialists, by socialist/communist regimes. China, USSR, Cambodia, Vietnam—basically everywhere that socialists took over. Remember, the name of the Soviet Union was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. That’s very important.

Mamdani’s City Grocery Store Official Explains How Their Plan to Keep Privately Owned Stores in Business Will Make Things Even Worse (VIDEO)– www.thegatewaypundit.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

A woman who is supposedly the lead person from Zohran Mamdani’s team for city-owned grocery stores was recently asked if their plan will put privately owned stores out of business, which, it obviously will.

She explained that privately owned stores that are in trouble will be able to apply for grants from the city, which is only going to make things worse, and far more expensive.

To recap, taxpayers pay for city-owned grocery stores and then, when those stores threaten privately owned stores, taxpayers will fund grants for those stores. The taxpayers just keep paying and paying, no matter what happens.

Townhall reports:

In an interview on Wednesday, Waverly Neer, a senior vice president of the NYC Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), which is overseeing Mamdani’s city-run grocery-store rollout, revealed that one proposal under consideration would let nearby grocers apply for grants to offset revenue lost to the city’s subsidized stores. In other words, New York City may use taxpayer money to undercut local businesses, then use more taxpayer money to compensate them for the damage they caused.

“I think ultimately the goals of these locations, not just here in East Harlem, but you know, any borough location is to be complementary to the neighborhood,” Neer said. “And really, you know, rising tides, right? We can we can all cooperate and work together in a meaningful way. ”

Mamdani Humiliated After Key Socialist Policy Fails Miserably– trendingpoliticsnews.com

EXCERPT:

Mayor Zohran Mamdani promised relief for tenants, but New York’s apartment market is serving up another painful reality.

The average asking rent for an available Manhattan apartment has climbed to a staggering $6,655 a month, according to industry experts. That’s a 10% spike from a year ago.

Studios now average more than $4,000 a month, while families searching for three bedrooms can expect to shell out upward of $12,000 every month.

Zohran Mamdani’s “rent freeze” won’t fix the forces driving up those prices, and, according to a new analysis by the New York Post, the policy could make the housing crunch even worse.

Roughly 1 million apartments, accounting for more than a quarter of the city’s housing supply, are protected from market pricing by rent regulation. Tenants in those units have little incentive to move, leaving fewer apartments available and pushing up the cost of the city’s roughly 1 million market-rate units.

The freeze also disproportionately helps higher-income tenants rather than the lower-income New Yorkers progressives claim to champion.

The Democratic Socialists of America is quietly building a network of activists to influence unions that are central to the Democratic Party.

The organization’s plan encourages young socialists to select jobs where they can either unionize or join existing unions and move them further to the Left. While most Americans are aware of DSA-backed officeholders Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Zohran Mamdani, the strategy of placing members in unions may actually yield more important dividends to the organization’s long-term goals.

From 2018 to 2021, the Young Democratic Socialists of America adopted a “rank-and-file” strategy as a national priority, emphasizing that “socialists must enter the labor movement on the shop floor as rank and file members of labor unions.”

The goal, as the group explained it, was “to reconnect the labor movement to the socialist movement in order to strengthen the militancy and class consciousness of the multiracial, multigendered working class to fight capitalism.”

“We aim to turn the unions we join into strong, militant, democratic organizations that can win major gains for workers, by workers,” the rank-and-file project’s website stated.

Why infiltrate the unions? To leverage them for the Left’s omni cause, the group explicitly stated.

Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, a progressive Democrat who previously wore a “Protect Trans Kids” shirt featuring a tactical knife and praised Democrats for voting against the Laken Riley Act, has won the Democratic primary for Minnesota’s open US Senate seat.

Flanagan defeated Rep. Angie Craig on Tuesday, marking another victory for the far-left wing of the Democratic Party. She was backed by progressive Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, as well as retiring Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith.

Flanagan, a supporter of transgender activism, previously faced criticism over a photograph showing her wearing a shirt bearing the words “Protect Trans Kids” alongside the image of a tactical knife. The image resurfaced amid scrutiny of transgender activist merchandise featuring slogans alongside guns, knives and other weapons. Other merchandise included phrases such as “Trans rights … or else” alongside images of firearms.

The primary exposed a sharp divide between Flanagan and Craig on immigration, particularly over Craig’s vote for the Laken Riley Act. Flanagan repeatedly hammered Craig over the vote during the campaign, while Craig later expressed regret for supporting the legislation. Flanagan previously praised Minnesota Democrats who opposed the Laken Riley Act while speaking at a stop on Sanders’ “Fight Oligarchy” tour in May.

A Trump-appointed federal judge green-lit a legal maneuver that could shield President Donald Trump’s financial records from disclosure.

U.S. District Judge Roy K. Altman of the Southern District of Florida issued the ruling in Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC.

The ruling came one day before a court-ordered deadline that would have forced Trump’s trust to hand over tax returns, financial statements, and ownership records for roughly 400 business entities, according to court documents.

According to Forbes, the subpoena covered individual Trump properties, Trump Media & Technology Group, the Trump Organization, crypto company World Liberty Financial, intellectual property, and personal assets including jewelry and art.

Trump’s trust filed an emergency motion the day before the deadline, asking Altman to block enforcement of the order, according to court filings.

The deadline Trump’s team was racing to beat had been set by U.S. Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett, who issued a written order July 27 compelling the Trust to produce the records because Trump’s own lawsuit put his finances directly at issue.

“All of President Trump’s brand, properties, and businesses are impugned…and result in both economic and reputational damage, all of that is now at issue in the case,” Lett said at the July 27 discovery hearing, according to court transcripts.
