Ben Shapiro's Wild CNN Appearance Exposes
the Psychosis of the Left

Original Article

Scott Jennings had some backup on Tuesday, with Ben Shapiro unexpectedly showing up on CNN. The two teamed up to thoroughly dismantle Abby Phillip's overwhelmingly left-wing panel, which included the perpetually overstimulated Ana Kasparian. What transpired over the course of the hour was a case study in the psychosis of the Democratic Party. Shapiro was repeatedly faced with nonsensical assertions and emotional rants, both of which make up the core of left-wing ideology. Kasparian starting her commentary with "I totally reject," only for her to totally reject reality, is about what you'd expect. I understand that she hates Israel and loves Middle Eastern terrorists, and don't kid yourself,

Meaningless banter. The whole clip shown is unbearable. Why anyone would watch this deliberately is beyond my ken.

Unable to grasp mathematics or nimbers. Is $100,000 larger than $25? You can't call a friend for help. Innumeracy is a real thing, and most Dems have a very serious problem with an inability to grasp numbers.

What #1 said. The article itself was no more bearable and reminded me of similar tv shout-fests during George W. Bush's two terms. All the best to Shapiro and Jennings but the other CNN panelists know one big thing: If you defend spending trillions on "wars of choice" people will dismiss your demands for fiscal discipline.

Unleashing America’s Energy Once and

This summer, President Trump and Congress have been extremely successful with remaking the American economy to deliver for workers and businesses, passing the “One Big Beautiful Bill” Act (OBBB) in July that extends important tax cuts and unleashes American energy. In particular, American energy dominance and independence was a key winner, as numerous provisions repealed Biden-era giveaways to green energy that held back our economy, making energy less reliable and affordable. Yet the OBBB is just the first step for unleashing American energy, and the next step must be comprehensive permitting reform. With these mandates to expand our national energy dominance,
Bangladesh Racing Toward a Caliphate 8 replies

In an unprecedented escalation of Islamist persecution, Jamaat-e-Islami — the Bangladeshi ideological offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) — has begun imposing the jizya tax on Hindus and other non-Muslims, openly declaring its intent to replace the country's secular democratic framework with Islamic sharia law. Backed by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, and linked to global jihadist networks, including Al Qaeda, Jamaat-e-Islami's move comes just months after a coup that brought Muhammad Yunus to power, triggering a rapid rise in radical Islamic influence. This development threatens not only Bangladesh's fragile democracy but also poses a strategic security risk to South Asia and the wider free world.

French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday that 26 of Ukraine’s allies have pledged to deploy troops as a “reassurance force” for the war-torn country once fighting ends in the conflict with Russia. Macron spoke after a meeting in Paris of the so-called “coalition of the willing,” a group of 35 countries who support Ukraine. He said that 26 of the countries had committed to deploying troops in Ukraine — or to maintaining a presence on land, at sea, or in the air — to help guarantee the country’s security the day after a ceasefire or peace is achieved.

President Trump announced — and celebrated — that Delta Air Lines revised its manuals to use “Gulf of America” for the body of water spanning Florida to Mexico in line with his executive order renaming the marginal sea. The president shared a screen grab on Truth Social of an apparent “Revision Highlights Airway Manual” on official Delta letterhead, which Trump claimed he received from a Delta captain. Key changes in the manual show that “Gulf of Mexico” is switched to “Gulf of America” and “Notice to Air Mission” is revised to “Notice to Airmen.”

In a dramatic escalation of the federal government’s war on transnational drug cartels, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported the seizure of a record-breaking shipment of illicit drug precursor chemicals en route from China to drug cartels in Mexico — before they could be weaponized and unleashed on American streets.This historic record seizure of precursors… weren’t drugs yet, but were going to be turned into pretty much weapons of mass destruction,” Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview. “We intercepted them on the high seas… stopped coming from China before they got to Mexico.”

We’ve covered the story extensively—Donald Trump sees the ongoing, unthinkable level of crime and violence that goes on daily in the nation’s capital, decides to do something about it, federalizes the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), and deploys the National Guard. What happens? Crime plummets to levels not seen in years. If you’re a Democrat, however, you don’t like this for several reasons: 1) It makes President Trump look good, which you can’t stomach even if lives are at stake, and 2) you don’t actually care about crime and don’t mind seeing it continue in our nation’s cities.

It does not matter if individuals become naturalized citizens of the United States, so long as they retain the citizenship from wherever they came, they should not be allowed to serve in the American government. Either they renounce their foreign citizenship, or stop serving in our government. And, it is more preferable that they self-deport if they feel strongly about keeping the other citizenship. As founder John Jay expressed in 1787, “Permit me to hint, whether it would not be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government.”

One of the bitter fruits of President Joe Biden’s single term in office is this: An administration obsessed with policies designed to reduce income inequality actually widened the gap between rich and poor. That’s the conclusion from Unleash Prosperity’s advance analysis of Census Bureau data on household incomes through the end of 2024. These Census Bureau income numbers include business income, investment income, dividends, wages, salaries and most cash government welfare benefits, including Social Security. Our chart (below) shows what happened with middle-class incomes over the 48 months of President Donald Trump’s first term (2017-21), as compared to the subsequent Biden term (2021-25).

Cracker Barrel suffered a hit to sales after it unveiled its “woke” new logo – which faced heated backlash from customers online and even President Trump. Starting Aug. 19, the day after the logo was revealed, transactions slowed at Cracker Barrel restaurants, according to debit and credit card data from Bloomberg Second Measure, a data analytics provider. That sales decline gained steam through Aug. 26 as diners slammed the new logo – a modern, sleek reimagining that erased an illustration of beloved folksy farmer Uncle Herschel. Other full-service restaurants showed mixed results during the same period, in a sign that Cracker Barrel’s sudden downturn was due to brand damage, according to Bloomberg.

The judge in the Google Search antitrust case has ruled against the government’s proposals to break up the tech giant, including a forced sale of its Chrome browser. The ruling also allows Google to maintain its massive $20 billion deal with Apple, although the tech giant will be forced to end exclusive distribution contacts. Both the Big Tech Masters of the Universe and the stock market are celebrating the decision as a massive win for Google. Bloomberg reports that the U.S. government’s bid to curb the power of Big Tech faced a setback on Tuesday as Judge Amit Mehta delivered his ruling in the landmark search antitrust case against Google,

Court Halts Closure of Alligator Alcatraz 30 replies

Trump’s Alligator Alcatraz will not have to shut down after a circuit court overturned a woke judge’s order. In August, Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams ruled that the alleged “environmental harms” of the famous Florida illegal alien detention facility outweighed the facility’s necessity. But that decision was overruled Thursday as the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals blocked her order to close the illegal alien detention facility in Florida and halt all construction there. The federal appeals court also blocked Williams from proceeding with the case until Florida’s appeal is complete. This is a big win not only for the Trump administration and the state government in Florida,

The 32-year-old Schlossberg told The New York Times that running for Nadler’s seat is “certainly a possibility.” As Breitbart News reported, Nadler announced he would be retiring after three decades in Congress, saying that the fallout from Joe Biden’s presidency indicated the time has come for generational change within the Democrat Party.

“Doctors are being paid to vaccinate, not to evaluate,” Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a recent video. “They’re pressured to follow the money, not the science.” Doctors administer dozens of vaccines to many children in the United States. Adults are also advised to receive multiple shots. Here’s what to know about vaccines and payments. What Does the Literature Say? A review of studies confirms that some doctors profit from vaccinating. In a 2020 paper, researchers found when analyzing three years’ worth of vaccination claims for five Colorado clinics that reimbursements averaged 125 percent of costs, making administering vaccines “financially favorable across the practices.”

President Trump’s efforts to bring down crime have been successful in Washington, D.C. The rate of murder and other violent crimes is down substantially, and the rate of car-jackings is down dramatically. Even the Democrat mayor of the city admitted that the crime rate has dropped. Oddly, however, she mumbles in the next breath that the program is “not working,” apparently to mollify national stage Democrats to whom she answers. Such as Democrat Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer. He was asked at the outset whether the initial 30-day period for the effort could be extended.
