America’s real insurrection is a long-term project of the country’s Democrats. It appears to have hit some snags, however. Maybe, as their carefully constructed facade begins to crumble, we’ll be able to save our republic after all. The power and influence of the Democratic Party over the past two to three decades has been built on appearances. The legacy media, of course, are committed comrades and make it appear as if today’s party of the left is no different than it was in the days of John F. Kennedy. In truth, though, it is far more radical, blatantly anti-American, and outright corrupt.

Democrats and their ideological allies really do hate America. Earlier this week, Democrat Senator Chris Murphy highlighted a disputed news story claiming that a shadow fleet of several dozen Iranian vessels had successfully eluded the U.S. Navy’s blockade near the Strait of Hormuz. Above what appears to have been Iranian propaganda, Murphy wrote one word: “Awesome.” How much does a Democrat senator have to hate the country he putatively represents to root for a foreign enemy presently engaged in battle with the United States? Murphy’s choice to side with Iran’s Islamic terrorists over American servicemembers should surprise no-one.

In 1995, ‘Adam’ Hisham Hamawy testified for the defense in the trial of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman: the Egyptian Islamic terror leader linked to the World Trade Center bombing. Now, Hamawy is running for Congress in New Jersey while promising to defund the military, abolish ICE, and dismantle the Department of Homeland Security. Hamawy, an Egyptian Muslim currently working as a plastic surgeon in New Jersey, has been in the news more recently for his Gaza advocacy, demanding that Israel stop its military campaign against Hamas, and in his recent interview with Hasan Piker, a Turkish social media influencer who praised the USSR and defended Hamas, the candidate accused our military of

RINO Senator John Cornyn’s team left up an old YouTube video on his official Senate channel where the Texas RINO openly pushes amnesty for illegal aliens, and it stayed there until conservatives unearthed it this week. While Cornyn pretends to be a born-again border hawk in his desperate fight to survive a MAGA primary challenge, his own Senate YouTube page was still hosting a video that proves exactly where his heart lies: open borders, amnesty, and America Last. The video, first highlighted by grassroots warrior Scott Presler, shows Cornyn advocating for policies that would reward lawbreakers with legal status. His team “forgot” to scrub it from the official record… or maybe

Last year, on the 13th anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, an unconstitutional program he had conjured into existence by executive fiat, Barack Obama was singing its praises. "DACA was an example of how we can be a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws," Obama said. "And it's an example worth remembering today, when families with similar backgrounds who just want to live, work, and support their communities, are being demonized and treated as enemies." And it’s all a lie. Since President Donald Trump returned to office, his administration has arrested nearly 300 DACA recipients nationwide — 75 of them in Texas alone,

A Virginia state senator told colleagues he understands rural America because he grew up watching “The Dukes of Hazzard.” Democratic state Sen. Lamont Bagby made the claim during a floor debate on the state’s gerrymandering amendment, according to video posted by WJLA reporter Nick Minock. Bagby pushed back on Republicans who argued Democrats have no grasp of rural life. “I grew up watching the Waltons. I grew up with Opie. I even watched the Dukes of Hazzard. I think I know a little bit about rural America,” Bagby said, apparently referencing “The Waltons” and “The Andy Griffith Show” alongside the hit CBS series. He then rattled off characters from

It has been revealed that President Trump's Acting TSA Administrator, Ha Nguyen McNeil, has a history of advocating for open borders, as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. McNeil has been leading the agency since April 2025, records show. Jack Posobiec, senior editor of Human Events, was the first to report on the matter, revealing McNeil's previous history with the Obama-Biden administration, which included reversing Trump's executive orders on border security during Joe Biden's 2020 presidential transition. McNeil, an alumnus of Obama's National Security Council, worked as the Chief Operating Officer of the Business Software Alliance (BSA) from September 2019 to April 2021. She was reportedly recruited

Many have described New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani as a terrorist-supporting communist who hates America. His defenders dispute this characterization, but the evidence keeps piling up against them. Earlier this month, Mamdani signed an "emergency" order banning large public gatherings during the World Cup, a soccer tournament held every four years. The United States is cohosting the event this summer along with Canada and Mexico—a demeaning affront to American exceptionalism. Adding insult to injury, the World Cup is taking place during what is supposed to be the glorious celebration of our 250th birthday. New York was initially planning to allow members of the public to gather in Times Square

Now that the Southern Poverty Law Center is being exposed, it is important to look back at some of the outrageous claims made by this group in the past. It is absolutely amazing to think that in 2015, they put Dr. Ben Carson on an ‘extremist’ list. Is ‘extremist’ one of the words that comes into your mind when you think of Carson? Perhaps when they targeted one of the most renowned and highly respected pediatric brain surgeons in the entire country in this way, it was a clue that they were not operating in good faith. They were eventually forced to take Carson off the list and then apologized…

A disturbing and deeply unsettling plot to carry out a mass-casualty attack at a Texas synagogue has been foiled Authorities have arrested 18-year-old Angelina Han Hicks of Lexington, North Carolina, after uncovering what investigators describe as a coordinated plan to carry out a horrific attack on members of Congregation Beth Israel in Houston, Texas. According to court documents and law enforcement officials, Hicks allegedly conspired with at least two other individuals to carry out a violent assault targeting Jewish worshippers. The plan reportedly involved using a vehicle to drive into a congregation with the explicit goal of killing as many people as possible.

The FBI on Thursday arrested 43 Mexican Mafia gang members in Orange County, California. According to the feds, the gang members committed various crimes such as kidnapping, extortion, trafficking drugs, running gambling businesses, and murder. The defendants were charged with 66 counts, including racketeering conspiracy, conspiracy to operate an illegal gambling business, violent crimes in aid of racketeering, trafficking narcotics such as fentanyl, methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine, and using firearms during a crime of violence.

Athletes betting for or against themselves and their teammates is something that's been going on for decades. We regularly see insider trading in the finance, corporate, and political worlds. But active duty military members betting via prediction markets on matters of national security is kind of new. In 2025, the prediction marketplace Polymarket began allowing people to enter "binary event contracts related to whether certain events involving Venezuela and/or [Nicolás] Maduro would, or would not, occur," according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). A 38-year-old from Fayetteville, N.C. named Gannon Ken Van Dyke won almost $410,000 on all of these Maduro- and Venezuela-related bets. The problem?

My deep-seated loathing of the United States Department of Education and all that it has wrought is well known to people who have been reading my stuff for a long time. I've been writing about school choice for a couple of decades now. On the most recent episode of "Faith All Over the Place," I told my friends Chris Queen and Ashley McCully something to the effect of, "I can blame most of the societal ills that plague America on federal involvement in public education." (Side note: for the precise quote, please listen to the podcast! It's always all-access.)

Big-name donors to the Southern Poverty Law Center, including George Clooney and George Soros, have stayed silent amid allegations that the nonprofit funneled more than $3 million to the hate groups it claimed to fight. The SPLC was charged with wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering on Wednesday for allegedly bankrolling at least eight leaders and members of extremist groups — all behind the backs of their deep-pocketed benefactors. The foundations of Clooney and Soros, along with MGM Resorts and other high-profile backers, haven’t spoken up about the Justice Department indictment.

Iran Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei hasn’t released an audio or video message since assuming power because his face was badly burned in Israeli airstrikes on Feb, 28, according to a report — as President Trump says peace talks are inhibited by a lack of clear leadership in Tehran. Khamenei, 56, “does not want to appear vulnerable or sound weak,” four Iranian officials told the New York Times, adding that one of the ayatollah’s legs has been “operated on three times, and he is awaiting a prosthetic,” while he also has had surgery on one of his hands. “His face and lips have been burned severely,

Billionaire Ken Griffin is appalled after Mayor Zohran Mamdani spotlighted his Manhattan penthouse in a viral video announcing a new pied-à-terre tax – and the hedge fund titan signaled he might even yank a $6 billion development project in the city. In a video last week, Mamdani beamed as he stood in front of the Citadel founder’s 24,000-square-foot property at 220 Central Park South – which he scooped up for $238 million in 2019, the most expensive home sale in the country. “We’ve secured a pied-à-terre tax,” the 34-year-old Democratic socialist rejoiced in the April 15 video.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which makes its money by exaggerating “hate” to scare donors and by comparing conservatives to the Ku Klux Klan, was itself funding Klan members—and now major Democrats are beclowning themselves by defending it. Like a dog returns to its vomit, so Democrats return to the ridiculous claim that the SPLC is some sort of noble civil rights group and that to attack it is to attack America’s soul. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., claimed that the Justice Department’s indictment against the SPLC is “turning what America’s all about inside out.”

I am 100% for sure going to hell for enjoying this New York Times article as much as I am. There but for the grace of God go I, I remind myself. But then, I would never have put myself in that position, devoting my professional life to making six figures off the taxpayer to work on "nice-to-haves" rather than creating actual, useful products that must survive in the marketplace. Anyhoo, the article that is bringing me so much guilty pleasure is entitled "A Year After U.S.A.I.D.’s Death, Fired Workers Find Few Jobs and Much Loss." The subtitle tells the tale:

In today’s legacy media newsroom, there are two sides to every story: the one they want the public to see, and the one they’re trying to hide. As often as not, the one they want the public to see is untrue, and the one they are trying to hide is true. The news coverage of the mess the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has gotten itself into this week provides a perfect opportunity to compare and contrast the way something like this manifests itself. To set the stage, you have to know the actual facts, which are: A grand jury in Montgomery, Al., indicted the SPLC with 11 counts of wire fraud, false

It's pretty clear that one of the greatest threats to the left is social trust. I can say that with such confidence because just about everything the left does erodes it. Our public school teachers are encouraged to trans kids behind their parents' backs, government programs openly promote fraud, and prosecutors and liberals always side with criminals. So it shouldn't surprise me that Hasan Piker is the darling of the media, and that the New York Times featured Piker and Jia Tolentino, a writer at The New Yorker, to describe their love for stealing. Stealing, you see, is a form of promoting social justice, just as open borders,
