The Mask Of The Savior

Che Guevara (1928–67) occupies a special place in the pantheon of modern icons. Nobody quite embodies the chasm between romantic myth and historical reality as he does. His image—etched in Alberto Korda’s Guerrillero Heroico, with its windswept hair and resolute gaze—adorns T-shirts across Western campuses, universities, and protest marches. To rebellious but historically ignorant teenagers and activists, he represents the archetypal “freedom fighter”: a selfless doctor who abandoned privilege to champion the oppressed against imperialism. This perspective, steeped in adolescent idealism, casts Guevara as a symbol of anti-establishment defiance and social justice. Yet this entire cult is a symptom of a broader anti-Western ideology that has metastasized

It amazes me how easily we are gaslit about voter fraud. Or should I say, how easily Democrats are gaslit about voter fraud, since by now most Republicans are cynical enough to expect it.
I was struck on Tuesday night by how many Republicans confidently predicted that Spencer Pratt's seemingly insurmountable lead over Nithya Raman in the Los Angeles mayor's primary would evaporate as the votes were dumped in batches over the ensuing weeks, and their cynicism, it seems, will be rewarded.
California doesn't have election days. It has election weeks that begin well before election day and extend well after election night. It will turn out, remarkably, that
On the whole, it’s been a good week. It’s not every week that serves up the kind of supreme schadenfreudey goodness that comes from the firing of the pompous CBS News blowhard Scott Pelley, with more to follow. Less noticed was that NPR laid off most of its climate change reporters this week, too. If NPR is giving up on the climate crusade, it is well and truly over. The strong showing of Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt (fingers crossed about those “late” votes) is also cheering, though it will still be an uphill fight to November. England continues to spiral down the drain, but after their George Floyd-in-reverse moment,
With President Donald Trump’s approval rating underwater by over seventeen points and the GOP facing criticism over inflation and the Iran war in a critical midterm election, we would expect swing voters to be flocking to Democrats. Despite inflation and the Iran war creating strong headwinds for Republicans leading into November, Latino voters are fleeing from the Democratic Party, showing a twenty-point collapse since 2022 and a thirty-point collapse since 2018.
In 2022, Democrat Congressional candidates won Hispanics 60 percent to 39 percent according to NBC News exit polls. In 2018, Democrats won a full 69 percent of Latinos and Republicans won 29 percent according to CNN exit polls.
The woke mind virus infection began spreading sometime in the early 2000s, but didn't reach pandemic levels until the late Obama years. It was, metaphorically, engineered in American and European university labs to infect ordinary people through diffusion in schools and universities, and became pandemic in the Summer of Floyd, alongside the similarly engineered COVID virus.
The mind virus was intentionally spread, while COVID was almost certainly a lab leak, but both are equally artificial, and both have caused incalculable damage to the economies, social trust, and people. And they will remain endemic well into the future.
So, a late-night ballot drop in Los Angeles appears to have changed the dynamics of the midterm election.
But, hey, the state might be counting for days or weeks yet, so let’s not jump to conclusions, right?
Sure, Florida can count 10 million ballots in one day and evening, as can many other states and nations, and Florida has mail balloting, too, but California Democrats say that the reason it takes the erstwhile Golden State so long to tally its votes is because they want to make sure every vote is counted.
It’s about “our democracy,” you see.
Well, they want to make sure every illegal ballot is counted, that is for sure.
Who’s Obsessed With Race?
2 replies
Liberals like to denounce the rest of us as racists, but the truth is that they are the ones who are obsessed with race. This is a classic example: “BBC apologises for misquoting Farage on Nowak murder.”
The BBC has apologised to Nigel Farage after one of its presenters misquoted his comments about the killing of Henry Nowak.
During Tuesday’s Newsnight programme, Matt Chorley, the presenter, said that the Reform UK leader had told the public to respond to the murder with “white cold rage”, when he had said “pure cold rage”.
Reform argued that this implied a racial element to what Mr Farage had said and changed his meaning.
Of course it did.
It's Not Racist to Notice Reality

When you are passing judgments on individuals regarding their character, it is not right to judge them based on their immutable characteristics as part of a group.
We judge individuals based on who they are and what they do.
On the other hand, when you are evaluating a group, it's just as wrong to disaggregate it into individual atoms and claim that there are no group characteristics that are relevant to making a judgment.
That's why it is simultaneously true that individuals who are part of some group may be good, and the group as a whole is still harmful. When I meet a liberal, for instance,
While raising an LGBT pride flag over the state capitol building, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers said he plans to defy a Supreme Court ruling on so-called “conversion therapy.”
On Monday, the Democratic governor shared his support for protecting “trans kids” and, in particular, keeping on the books a regulation that effectively bans counselors from assisting gender-confused and same-sex attracted kids.
“Let me be clear: I have no intention of repealing the ban on outdated and dangerous practice of conversion therapy on kids, period, end of story, and no questions,” he said to applause.
The rule did not pass through the legislature after committee hearings, mark-ups, and open debate.
Scott Pelley, Dishonest Hack
8 replies
CBS News has fired Scott Pelley. The new regime at CBS News is praising Pelley, probably disingenuously:
[New CBS News head Bari] Weiss nevertheless praised Pelley’s body of work and highlighted several of his recent reports for “60 Minutes.”
“That unfortunate outcome does not discount from the amazing contributions and work that Scott Pelley has done for CBS and for ‘60 Minutes’ over the course of his career,” Weiss said.

CBS News president Tom Cibrowski echoed Weiss’s remarks, calling Pelley “an integral part of ‘60 Minutes,’ the ‘CBS Evening News’ and this entire news organization for decades.”
“His incredible body of work … will always be part of the history of CBS News,”
The Democrat Party's civil war over Graham Platner is getting messier by the day, and leave it to Jessica Tarlov to pick the wrong side.
While prominent Democrats are tripping over each other to distance themselves from Platner, the Fox News contributor spent a chunk of Monday's America's Newsroom doing the exact opposite. She went on the defensive, and it was not pretty.
I mean, come on, even Sen. Cory Booker is admitting that he “has concerns” about Platner. “That guy has questions to answer,” he said. “And that’s what campaigns are for.”
Tarlov, however, went into a full-throttle defense, complete with deflection and whataboutism.
“There are Democrats who have concerns,
The Tragedy of Rising Oil Prices
6 replies
Democrats have shed oceans of crocodile tears over the plight of the average American, struggling to afford gasoline in the wake of “Trump’s war” against Iran. Never mentioned, of course, is the fact that for more than 20 years, Democrats have been doing all they can to raise, not lower, the price of oil. As with so many issues, Democrats rely on the rest of us suffering from memory loss.
So here is a quick refresher: the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil from 1946 through May 2026. The last price recorded on the chart ($97.63, at the moment it is $87.36) is lower than peak prices

Americans should expect, at a minimum, to have elections that are free and fair, and results that are delivered promptly. But California is taking its laid-back reputation too far, failing to deliver its election results in a timely manner and creating the perception that they are neither free nor fair.
Slothful election results have plagued California for years since it made wholesale changes to its election system in 2016. It has mass mail-in ballots that can be counted post-election and allows for an extremely slow pace of counting.
Proponents of the system say this makes their elections more “secure” and accessible.

A Marine Corps veteran fought off a group of teens who tried to carjack him at gunpoint in broad daylight in Maryland.
Jheyco Borda was working on his truck in Oxon Hill — about 10 miles outside Washington, DC — when four hooded teens approached him around 4:45 p.m. Tuesday, surveillance video posted to his Facebook page shows.
“Be careful and be aware of your surroundings,” Borda warned in the caption. [Video]
The teens surrounded Borda at the bed of his truck while one suspect — who was wearing a red, white and blue sweatshirt — pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the veteran’s head,

Graham Platner Allegations From Its Own Story 13 replies
When the New York Times spoke with Lyndsey Fifield about her experiences with Graham Platner, the paper made promises. Representatives of the paper said they would protect her, that men couldn't keep getting away with it. They collected her diary pages, her screenshots, her contacts, and walked away with everything she had. Then they published their story.
The story they published was damning, but, according to Fifield, they omitted the most serious allegation.
Fifield had every reason to stay quiet. She described her current life as genuinely good, raising two young daughters in a safe neighborhood, working from home, active in her church, and surrounded by close friends and family.
I remember the scene on the Senate floor. The occasion was the vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act—Obamacare. It came down to John McCain, who hated Donald Trump with a burning passion eclipsing common Trump Derangement Syndrome. As one of his final acts on this Earth, McCain, aping every corrupt, movie Roman Emperor, raised his thumb and ominously, slowly, grinning like an evil lunatic, turned it thumbs down. Obamacare—arguably Obama’s most expensive destructive legacy-- was saved, and not because it has ever worked. McCain saved it out of spite.
That was only one of Obama’s destructive legacies. Jon Gabriel’s classic Twitter post sums up another:

New information about the brutal stabbing murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak continues to surface, and each revelation is seemingly worse than the last. In the latest development the Daily Mail now outlines that Nowak’s killer, Vickrum Digwa, actually recorded his victim lying on the ground in agony as the murderer mocked him.
Incredibly the judge in the trial ruled the killer’s own recording of his murder, “too disturbing to be shown” in court. Digwa did not call for an ambulance after stabbing his victim but did take pictures and record Henry Nowak. However, the killer’s own video was NOT shown in court! The footage the court ruled

The political committee of Democratic Senator Chris Murphy — himself well versed in the "Resistance" talking points against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — is dedicated to resisting President Donald Trump and has funded a prominent left-wing nonprofit that has been at the center of highly organized, “mass mobilization” anti-ICE protests around the country.
Murphy’s newly rebranded Political Action Committee, American Mobilization, donated $100,000 last year to Indivisible, a progressive movement and organization formed in the wake of Trump’s first election in 2016 and dedicated to resisting the Trump agenda, Federal Election Commission records for the PAC show.
Climate Alarm On The Run, Part II

Another media global warming team has been terminated, this time the National Public Radio climate desk. This is what happens when “journalists” keep reporting about a dead horse. Eventually, the public realizes the horse has perished, and there’s nothing left to talk about. Or that there was no horse to begin with.
NPR is the third media outlet to rein in its diehard band of Democratic Party scribes dedicated to exaggerating climate fears, following the Washington Post and CBS News. The former was sawed roughly in half while the latter was, to our grand delight, “gutted.”
As Americans paying attention—that would include American Thinker readers—know, the media has cherished narratives it defends with mama bear fierceness. Among those narratives is the existence of wide-spread islamophobia. When Islamists attack Jews and others on college campuses, the media wails about the dangers of islamophobia. And when people with Muslim names are attacked, the same wailing rises to mosque tops. Such a horrific hate crime recently took place in Minneapolis, where a Muslim was murdered—oh, the humanity!--[snip] surely a white guy and probably a Jew!—killing an innocent Muslim, and on a Muslim holy day to boot!

More than two decades ago, the leader of the National Socialist Party of America decided he wanted out of the white nationalist movement. The leader approached the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has positioned itself as the nation’s preeminent watchdog of “hate,” and for helping people get out of such groups.
The individual was out of money and no longer wanted to be a part of the movement. But, instead of helping the individual break free, the SPLC had something else in mind.
The organization allegedly offered him a monthly salary funneled through a fictitious entity to maintain the extremist organization,

Downing Street has hit out at "people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division", after JD Vance's comments on the murder of Henry Nowak.
The US vice-president blamed the death of the 18-year-old British student, who was fatally stabbed last year in Southampton by Vickrum Digwa, on the "mass invasion of migrants" and said the "only response" was "righteous anger".
After the post on X, the Downing Street spokesman said the Nowak family had "said they do not want his death to be used to create further division".
The detainees inside Delaney Hall detention center claim they are on a hunger strike due to the alleged conditions there. However, it’s not really a hunger strike—they’re eating Doritos and Honey Buns. Moreover, Jennie Taer from Daily Wire reported that it’s even more elaborate, with sushi and shellfish on the menu. It’s all just a show, which you’ve probably figured out from the start (via Daily Wire): [Tweets]
