The DSA Takes Over the Democrat Party
Posted By: Mercedes44, 7/12/2026 9:58:08 PM
For decades, the Democratic Party exploited—but also restrained—its more liberal, anti-American activists. However, as they have become outrageously progressive, communistic, and violent, they have lost control of themselves, and now they are taking over. Democratic Party operatives thought they could maintain control, and for a while, they succeeded. The efforts of aggressive progressive partisans succeeded in taking over the DNC in 1972. They promoted progressive George McGovern for president, and the Democratic National Committee embraced some of the most radical left-wing positions.

A Russian soldier narrowly escaped being killed after an improvised anti-drone weapon malfunctioned during a live-fire test, sending thousands of rounds spraying across a military training ground.
Footage circulating widely on social media shows troops testing a Yak-B 12.7mm rotary machine gun, originally designed for Mi-24 attack helicopters, mounted on the back of a military flatbed truck.
Moments after the gunner opened fire, the weapon violently spun out of control.
The recoil threw the operator from his position as the gun continued firing uncontrollably, peppering the training area with live ammunition.

The Republican National Committee going into the weekend released details about its first midterm convention ahead of the November elections – a sign that President Donald Trump's tenacious and grueling work schedule is finally rubbing off on the GOP and is leaders after years of trying to keep pace.
Whether advancing his agenda, holding events, or dominating the news cycle, Trump's pace has been notoriously relentless. For weeks after his June 30 post, the broader party apparatus appeared to be playing catch-up—planning in the background while the president kept moving.

Just five days before his death, late Sen. Lindsey Graham defiantly scoffed at images of Iranians parading around with a poster of a bullseye on his head.
Iranians at the extended state funeral of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei were seen with signage targeting Trump, conservative commentators Ben Shapiro and Laura Loomer, GOP mega-donor Miriam Adelson and others with text that translated to “In the end, your heads will be severed.”
At least they used a good photo of me. Judge me by my enemies,” Graham (R-SC) posted on X in response.
Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who hasn’t been seen publicly since Operation Epic Fury began in February,
Speaking to Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, Lee discussed Graham’s strong enthusiasm for the bill during what turned out to be his last conversation with President Donald Trump, emphasizing multiple paths forward for passage and stressing that the American people deserve and want the measure.
The remarks come in the wake of Graham’s sudden death on Saturday evening.
Trump had appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday morning to discuss the loss, revealing that his final conversation with Graham earlier that Saturday night was about passing the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act.
The sad news of Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) sudden death on Saturday night at the age of 71 is still fresh, and Republican colleagues and world leaders have been issuing tributes to the four-term senator and his long service to the country. Meanwhile, ghouls on the Left are mocking his passing and showing how truly blinded by hate they’ve become over partisan bickering. Sick.
As unseemly as it might feel, the reality of politics is that life goes on despite tragedy, and Graham’s death puts the U.S. Senate in turmoil. He was chairman of the powerful Budget Committee and a member of both the Appropriations and Judiciary Committees.
We reported on the story that Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna (CA-17) told of being "detained" in the West Bank.
As we noted, the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) disputed Khanna's claim that they were involved in any "detention" of Khanna's group, and said they helped resolve the situation when they arrived. The Israeli police also said that this was a "closed military zone" (CMZ) area where civilians weren't allowed.Now the Israeli Ambassador to the U.S., Michael Leiter, has weighed in and leveled Rep. Khanna. Leiter explained how they reached out to Khanna when they found out he was coming,
Christians across Communist China are being arrested, detained and effectively “disappeared” for worshipping outside state-controlled churches, according to a major investigation by The Telegraph.
The report details accounts from underground Christians who say police have raided homes in the middle of the night, separated families and imprisoned pastors as the regime intesifies its campaign against independent religious groups.
One Christian identified only as “TJ” recalled police smashing into his home before dragging away his wife.
Nearly $15,000 Raised for Tennessee Railway

Conductor Fired for Patriotic July 4th Announcement 14 replies
Nearly $15,000 has been raised for a conductor on the historic Incline Railway in Chattanooga, Tennessee, who was fired after delivering a patriotic message to passengers on Independence Day.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Jack Peterson, who worked as a conductor for the Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA), which operates the Incline Railway, made the comments during a July 4 ride.
In a statement captured on video, which went viral on social media, Peterson wished “the very, very few Americans” on board a happy Independence Day.
He added, “To the rest of you, welcome to the greatest country on the face of the planet, and if you disagree, you can leave.”
For some years, I have kept a folder marked “Conservative Gloominess.” It is full of articles and animadversions by various hands: dire prognostications about who the next occupant of the White House will be; harrowing descriptions of disarray among conservatives; despairing portraits of U.S. or European society. What’s odd, or at least uncharacteristic, about these bulletins from the abyss is not their substance—to be candid, I have written plenty of items that could justly be filed there—but their tone and what we might call their existential orientation.
From time immemorial, conservatives have delighted in writing works with titles like Leviathan, The Decline of the West, The Waste Land. Nevertheless,
Over the previous five days, 76 Russian ships have been attacked by Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned surface vehicles. This has succeeded in virtually isolating Crimea and the illegally occupied areas of Ukraine from Russia and may be on the verge of precipitating a humanitarian disaster in Crimea as water, electricity, and food are about to become scarce. Of the 76 targeted ships, 28 were attacked Friday night. This indicates a coherent strategic campaign rather than a one-off happening.
To fully understand the larger picture, we need to back off several months.

On Saturday night, according to reports, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) navy fired a warning shot at and struck a commercial ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran claimed it was closing the strait until further notice.This comes in the wake of President Trump and administration officials on Friday giving Iran a deadline of Saturday to say to the world that the Strait of Hormuz is open, or face certain destruction, as my colleague Joe Cunningham wrote earlier:There was also news Saturday of a potential assassination plot by Iran against Trump possibly being foiled in recent days.

WASHINGTON — Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who was elected to the Senate in 2003 and was a close political ally of President Donald Trump, has died, his office confirmed early Sunday. He was 71.
Graham died Saturday night “from a brief and sudden illness,” his office said in a statement.
“Senator Graham’s family appreciates prayers at this time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period,” the statement continued.
Graham was chairman of the Senate Budget Committee and was seeking a fifth six-year Senate term in November. He was one of the most well-known members of the chamber
Earlier this week, we told you how a gay cruise operated by Atlantis Events was denied docking in Turkey precisely because the passengers are gay men. The cruise, which left from Athens on July 5, said it would dock in Cairo, Egypt, instead.
There's just one problem: Egypt denied them, too. (snip) The Scarlet Lady's 2,000 passengers, including the Broadway performer Patti LuPone, woke on Thursday morning to find a note placed under their cabin doors informing them that the ship was urgently looking for alternative ports.

The US unleashed its military might on Iran after the regime attacked a commercial vessel and declared the Strait of Hormuz closed Saturday.
“Iran made a poor choice. Now they pay,” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth posted on X.
The Islamic Republic attacked the M/V GFS Galaxy, a container vessel flying the flag of Cyprus, according to United States Central Command. A civilian crew member from the ship is now missing and the vessel suffered significant engine room damage in the strikes, CENTCOM added.
The agency vowed that Tehran would pay a “heavy cost” and said that the retaliation,
Under the leadership of President Donald Trump and Secretary Markwayne Mullin, the Department of Homeland Security will launch a new “deportation airline” in order to carry out deportation flights on a round-the-clock basis. In order to carry out the monumental task of mass deportations, DHS has procured a fleet of two Gulfstream 550s and six Boeing 737-700s at the cost of $140 million. The government fleet will allow for DHS to have autonomy in carrying out their own deportation logistics rather than having to rely on chartered flight with independent contractors.
The news of the new fleet comes as ICE has surged their arrest and deportation operations.
Two teenage boys who identify as girls withdrew their lawsuit in New Hampshire following a Supreme Court ruling that upheld state bans on boys competing in girls' sports.
Parker Tirrell and Iris Turmelle filed lawsuits against New Hampshire's ban on males competing on female sports teams, and in 2024, they amended their complaint to include a challenge to Trump's executive order last year that aimed to protect females from having to compete against males in sports, the Associated Press reported.
A federal judge had granted a court order that allowed the boys to compete against girls while the case proceeded.
I bet Gaza could use the tourist dollars, and apparently a lot of the aid money was looted by Hamas, and fancy nightclubs are springing up on the Strip.
That was my first thought when I read that the Egyptians had followed the Turkish example of denying entry to the Virgin cruise ship hosting a gay-themed cruise. [snip for X]
What were they thinking, scheduling a gay cruise to visit Muslim countries? It's not that Egypt or Turkey is exactly a craphole—both have been centers of civilization at times, and neither is crushingly poor in the way that Conan O'Brien's and Anderson Cooper's favorite vacation destination, Haiti, is.
A judge's ruling pushing back a decision over whether to send Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin Tyler Robinson to trial has sparked frustration and scrutiny.
After five days of pre-trial probable cause hearings, Utah District Judge Tony Graf said he will wait to make his decision on whether Tyler Robinson will face trial until September 1.
Many observers had anticipated Graf would make his ruling on Friday at the conclusion of the final hearing - with Kirk's widow Erika issuing a legal filing soon after urging Graf to come to a 'prompt' decision due to the 'overwhelming evidence.

The Trump administration subpoenaed several New York Times reporters on Friday following the news outlet's recent reporting on security issues involving the newly commissioned Air Force One, according to the Times.
The aircraft, which President Donald Trump accepted as a gift from Qatar, entered service last week and has already been used for official travel.
According to the newspaper, the subpoenas require the journalists to appear before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday. The Times said federal agents personally delivered some of the subpoenas to reporters at their homes.

A massive bull bison tossed a tourist into the air, seriously injuring him, in a heart-pounding caught-on-camera attack at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Video shows the unidentified man being thrown 8 feet in the air like a ragdoll by the wild bison at the Bridge Bay Campground Friday, Cowboy State Daily reported. The tourist was walking with his grandson when the powerful herbivore attacked. Video shows the man running around a copse of pines to try to escape the bull, which was giving itself a dust bath moments earlier. The bison suddenly charged the two tourists, and then viciously

The tractor trailer traveled northbound driving by the backscatter truck without being scanned. Responding quickly, an agent located the tractor and conducted a traffic stop. When the agent broke the seal on the trailer and opened the door,

national parks, calls them a 'colonial injustice' 13 replies
The country of Canada has effectively apologized for the system of national parks that it has developed, with the national parks agency saying that the existence of the parks themselves represents "colonial injustice" against those who are Indigenous.
The internal report known as the Evaluation of the Indigenous Guardians Initiative Internal Review, stated, “For millennia Indigenous people have cultivated reciprocal relationships with land, water and ice guided by cultural practices, values and knowledge systems," as reported by the Toronto Sun.
"Beginning in the 19th century the development of national parks and protected areas in Canada disrupted these relationships through exclusion and colonial injustices,"
