There are no working class socialists. DSA members are time and time again coming from the most privileged backgrounds. Take Daniel Moraff, a DSA organizer and the Massachusetts field director for Bernie Sanders whom many on the left are blaming for the Graham Platner disaster. Moraff was behind the campaign of Rep. Summer Lee and helped get her through a competitive Democrat primary before she dumped him over alleged sexual misconduct. The radical leftist Payday Report article spends a lot of time on background trying to smear Moraff, but fails to specify what the actual misconduct was, but it does drop the fact that Moraff is the grandson of

Another Silver-Spoon Communist. There sure seems to be a lot of them amongst those operating the levers in the 'Rat party. I was reminded of the Animal Farm phrase "All animals are Equal, but Some are More Equal than the others." The article ends with a 'Bulls-Eye' statement: "There’s no such thing as a poor socialist.. Socialists are just rich kids with no morals and lots of megalomania."

Kids in Virginia Can Now Toke Up Thanks

Posted by ConservativeYankee 7/10/2026 9:11:22 PM Post Reply
Bored kids with nothing much to do this summer just got a big gift from Virginia Democrats – starting about 10 days ago, they've apparently been able to legally purchase marijuana. And that's because the Democrats who run the General Assembly, and the one who occupies the Governor's Mansion, passed and signed a budget last month that rescinded all criminal law pertaining to the sale of marijuana effective July 1, 2026. The only problem is the new laws they crafted regulating the weed market don't go into effect until July 1, 2027, per their budget. That leaves an entire year of marijuana mayhem in ye olde Commonwealth.

A former Barack Obama press secretary was fired from his chief communications role in Minneapolis after allegedly stealing cash and credit cards from city employees to fuel his habit for kratom — a natural drug used to treat opioid withdrawal. Adam Fetcher, 42, was canned from his role as Chief Communications Officer (CCO) for the City of Minneapolis after just a year on the job amid a police investigation into internal workplace theft and fraud, as well as claims of substance abuse, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported. Fetcher, who made nearly $200,000 a year, is accused of stealing cash and credit cards out of the desks and purses of three

It’s one of those horrible times when we regret to inform you that the thing that the left promises you never happens has happened, again. And it claimed a life in the process. According to multiple reports, Bekhzod Asrarov — an immigrant from the predominantly Muslim Asian country of Uzbekistan who came to the United States under Joe Biden’s administration — is being charged with a felony after the commercial truck he was driving rammed a car from behind and he allegedly attempted to destroy and hide evidence from police. What’s more, Asrarov’s English was apparently so terrible that he needed a Google translation app on his phone

Vice President JD Vance is leasing part of a sprawling, multimillion-dollar property in rural Virginia to serve as an additional residence for his family, two people familiar with the matter told CNN. The new rental residence is part of the historic Wolver Hill Farm, which spans nearly 500 acres on the outskirts of Middleburg, Virginia, a wealthy enclave located a little more than an hour drive from Washington, DC. Wolver Hill Farm is owned by a firm led by Charles Kuhn, the founder of a moving company that has moved several presidents into and out of the White House, including President Donald Trump. The company is also a longtime government contractor.

A Minnesota daycare center owner featured in YouTuber Nick Shirley’s viral video showcasing alleged bogus childcare facilities has admitted that she defrauded the US government out of millions of dollars — which she used, in part, to buy up real estate. Fahima Mahamud, CEO of Future Leaders Early Learning Center in Minneapolis — which was featured in Shirley’s December video round-up of questionable facilities around the Twin Cities — pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to defraud the US. According to prosecutors, between October 2022 and November 2025, Mahamud filed claims for more than $4.6 million from the Child Care Assistance

New video shows former Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell being loaded into an ambulance after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at his Capitol Hill home last month. The video, shot by a neighbor of McConnell and published by CNN Friday, shows DC Fire and EMS personnel wheeling the 84-year-old on a stretcher on the morning of June 14. The Kentucky Republican’s face is not visible, and his lower legs appear to be covered by an orange blanket with his bare feet protruding. The neighbor related to the outlet that another eyewitness had told them that McConnell was not wearing an oxygen mask when he was transported to a local hospital.

Federal immigration officers have been dispatched to truck weigh stations at select locations nationwide as part of the Trump administration’s effort to find, arrest, and deport illegal immigrants who were given commercial driver’s licenses, according to a senior Trump administration official. White House border czar Tom Homan said federal law enforcement is on-site to identify and intercept the nearly 200,000 non-U.S. citizens who received CDLs from states despite their having illegally entered the United States.

Little Italy is a New York City landmark. It’s a cultural touchtone where movies have been set. Tourists troop over to pick up Sopranos t-shirts and go out to an Italian restaurant. ‘Little Palestine’ is Islamic colonialist nonsense that no one had ever heard of. But the Mamdani regime predictably put out a map of what it claimed were “New York City Immigrant Enclaves” which listed ‘Little Palestine’, ‘Little Pakistan’, ‘Little Yemen’, ‘Little Albania’ and ‘Little Egypt’, but didn’t mention ‘Little Italy.’ If you’re counting, that’s 5 Muslim colonial enclaves in New York City, but no Irish, Italian or Jewish enclaves.

Multiple instances of Texas hopsitals advertising birth tourism packages to Mexican mothers have been exposed, with former Rep. Mayra Flores releasing information showing that multiple facilities are offering steeply discounted childbirth packages to foreign nationals while American mothers face dramatically higher bills. President Trump has demanded a re-hearing on birthright citizenship in response to the evidence of extensive birth tourism operations. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered an investigation into Mission Regional Medical Center after Spanish-language billboards were seen in Mexico promoting fixed-price maternity packages for expectant mothers seeking to give birth in the United States, thereby ensuring that their children would be American citizens. Flores says the practice is not isolated

Some apparent Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers could not help but cast stones after SpaceX CEO Gwynne Shotwell announced that she and her husband would be donating their shares in the company to Trump Accounts. The accounts were authorized by a provision in last summer’s “Big Beautiful Bill” that allows $1,000 in seed money for every American born between 2025 and 2028 for the benefit of the child when he or she reaches adulthood. On Monday, President Donald Trump announced that over 6 million children had accounts opened for them, which were funded this week. Children under 18 but born before 2025 are also eligible for Trump Accounts, but will not receive

If the allegations put forward by Tulsi Gabbard, former Director of National Intelligence, prove to be substantially true, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s legacy will be remembered as one of the greatest betrayals of the public trust in modern American history. For four decades, Fauci occupied one of the most influential positions in the federal government. As Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), he controlled billions of taxpayer dollars, directed research priorities, advised presidents of both parties, and enjoyed a level of public credibility rarely afforded to unelected bureaucrats. Americans were encouraged to trust him -- not because he was elected, but because he was presented as

As Breitbart Texas reported, U.S. federal agents from ICE were trying to arrest Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national illegally present in the United States, when, according to an agency statement, the man resisted arrest, allegedly used his vehicle to ram an ICE vehicle, and then attempted to run over a federal agent.

A bitter battle is brewing along California’s Central Coast as an Indigenous tribe pushes to create a protected ocean zone that could sharply limit fishing — sparking fears among local fishermen that their livelihoods are on the line. The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians has filed a proposal to create a new Marine Protected Area (MPA) stretching from Morro Rock to the local dog beach near Morro Bay. The proposal was among 20 Marine Protected Area petitions submitted to the California Fish and Game Commission. The original petition would have allowed some recreational fishing, but the tribe requested an amendment that would reserve fishing access only for Chumash members.
Iran Failed Trump's Test 14 replies

 Trump... gave the remnants of the regime a final chance: step back, accept restraint, and choose coexistence over confrontation. Iran failed that test.  The regime did not moderate. It returned to its usual methods: missiles, drones, threats, blackmail, and violence. Trump did not abandon diplomacy. Iran destroyed it.  The United States must send a clear message to every dictatorship watching: America may negotiate  That has now become a matter of American national security.  A dictatorial regime that publicly tolerates calls for the assassination of the president of the United States cannot be treated as just another difficult adversary. A red line has been crossed.

President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing for what could become a prolonged military campaign against Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, with the White House weighing additional military options as Tehran continues threatening commercial shipping through the strategic waterway, according to reports Thursday. The latest deliberations come after two consecutive nights of U.S. strikes against Iranian military targets following Trump’s declaration Wednesday that the U.S.-brokered ceasefire and memorandum of understanding with Tehran were “over” after Iran attacked commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking aboard Air Force One Wednesday night while returning from the NATO summit in Ankara, Trump said Iran wanted to negotiate but

Westchester County native Jamey Carney, 43, posted a pic seemingly wishing she was back in the Big Apple, beaming alongside Ahmad Alsaqer, the 28-year-old now identified as the person of interest in the brutal crime. “Happy 4th y’all,” she wrote alongside the photo of them cuddling up in front of an AI-generated backdrop of Times Square, with the mom in Knicks T-shirt and Alsaqer in a Giants one.

President Donald Trump vowing Wednesday to intensify air strikes against Iran – after the sides traded attacks the day before and him declaring the countries' roughly three-week ceasefire "over" – has the U.S. appearing to be returning to war footing. "We're gonna hit 'em hard tonight," Trump said at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, after conceding to reporters hours earlier about the ceasefire, "To me, I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them." The return, as expected, has raised immediate concerns from economic – like will gas prices skyrocket again? – to military ones such as: Does the U.S. have enough air, sea and ground-

Graham Platner said that he's suspending his Senate campaign. Fine. Except that if you actually listened to his announcement video, it came loaded with conditions and a few not-so-subtle threats. And the more you look at how this is actually playing out, the less it looks like the clean exit Democrats were hoping for. According to a report from Axios, Platner privately told his campaign staff Wednesday night that he plans to file paperwork Monday to formally withdraw from Maine's Democratic Senate primary. That's the same deadline the state requires for Democrats to name a replacement nominee. He made those comments shortly before publicly announcing he was suspending his campaign.

President Donald Trump’s remarks on the sidelines of the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey, may represent one of the most consequential shifts in America’s strategic language toward the Islamic Republic of Iran since the 1979 revolution. By warning that any new Iranian attack would trigger a far more devastating response — and by describing the regime as a "cancer" that must be removed — Trump signaled something that goes beyond conventional political rhetoric. In the language of national security, such terminology often reflects a fundamental change in how a threat is defined.

For generations, California represented the American dream—a place where families moved in search of opportunity, good-paying jobs, and a better life. Today, the Golden State is earning a very different reputation. For 2026, California has been ranked the third-worst state to move to, according to Consumer Affairs’ annual state rankings, placing behind only Louisiana and New Mexico. The report evaluates states based on affordability, safety, economic strength, health care, education, and quality of life. California’s ranking was driven largely by poor scores in affordability, safety, and economic strength. While the state ranked 23rd in health care and education, and 14th in quality of life,
