The Fix is a Twenty Year Challenge!

By Rich Kozlovich

American leftists are now and have always been violent at their core,  but as long as their rhetoric and lies worked, there was no needs to be violent.......only that's not what's really happened for all these decades.  

They tried to convince people all these riots going back to the 60's were organic, and leftists had nothing to do with promoting or organizing them.  But the rhetoric is no longer working, so, they've now openly fallen back on who and what they are, terrorists!  They're using threats to force society to give them everything they want.... or else.  Well, this is America and while Americans have a live and let live mentality in general, we don’t like bullies, and being forced to negotiate with terrorists, who want to "make them pay", isn't going to float any longer.

Progressives camouflage their bloodlust with a synthetic morality that classifies what exists as unjust, and with narcissistic fantasies about “building back better” once the bad people have gone and our civilization is in ruins. (Have you ever met a leftist who said, “Come the Revolution, I won’t be anywhere near in charge, I’ll just be doing what I’m told”? If you haven’t met that leftist, you’re not alone. They don’t exist.)

Naturally, in the warped minds of leftists Charlie Kirk deserved to die because he said things things they didn't like, and worse yet, what he was saying was having an impact on the youth, using reason and tolerance while promoting Christian faith.   That's how he called his murder down on his own head.   See, it was his fault.  Now, how could any rational person find fault with that kind a logic?   Right?

It’s the same thing Senator Schumer did when he called for the murder of two Supreme Court justices........Calls to “moderate the rhetoric,” “stop using hateful speech,” and “take responsibility for your words” just say the quiet part out loud. Don’t say things that Charlie Kirk said, don’t be like Charlie Kirk...or else. 

Where does this outrageous mentality start? Public education, and now the public is getting alerted.  In Texas children are coming home and telling their parents how teachers are now engaging in political activism expressing negative views of Charlie Kirk, and I'm betting most of what's being said are lies.  Well, the parents and the governor isn't going to stand for it, and it's long overdue for the teacher's unions to be sued and disbanded.  

 

Kevin Finn says the left has been using "Saul Alinsky's playbook to beat us into submission, and it's time we returned the favor."

 

We've had enough. The Left has accused us of being intolerant because we object to their lawlessness and depravity. D. James Kennedy said, "Tolerance is the last virtue of a depraved society. When you have an immoral society that has blatantly, proudly, violated all of the commandments of God, there is one last virtue they insist upon: tolerance for their immorality.".......

 

Since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, leftists around the country have been posting vile comments and videos on social media. Not only are they celebrating his death, not only are they calling for the murder of his wife and children, they've created a list of other people who they say need to be assassinated as well; people like J.K. Rowling, Ben Shapiro, and J.D. Vance, for starters..................

 

 A group has organized a website called the "Charlie Kirk Data Foundation" (formerly "Expose Charlie’s Murderers") which is compiling legally-available information on individuals and organizations that are openly celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk. 

 

It's having an effect. 100 teachers in Texas will have their teaching credentials suspended and face permanent banishment from public schools in that state (recent reports have raised that number to 180) after posting their glee over the Kirk's murder and their hopes that other conservatives will soon be targeted. People like that shouldn't be allowed within a country mile of civilized people, let alone children, and it looks like Governor Greg Abbott and the state of Texas are about to ensure that that is the case.  

 

In this article discussing all this youthful male violence the author quoted former FBI agent James Fitzgerald answering " how does a 22 year old straight-A student with an impressive college scholarship, from an intact and, by all appearances, a “normal” religious, conservative family, wind up one of the most notorious American assassins of this century?   

 

While trying to minimize his views, in reality, he in effect blamed the parents.  Well, James, it isn't that simple, nor in this case is that correct as there's not one iota of evidence of parental neglect, in fact, just the opposite.  Pay attention, as I will come back to this.  "Culture is King".  I was 2500 years ago when Herodotus said it, and it's just as true today.  

 

The author states, and I agree with him, after years of corrupt educators "microdosing hate for conservatives", it's bound to take a tole on the psyche.  Compounded by spending "lot of time on the computer and suddenly—drastically—his politics and possibly his sexuality changed." ....."More than the parents, it’s friends, teachers, and, especially, the internet that can breed these killers."  

 

The computer is here to stay, but teachers are public employees and what they do can be fixed.  It's a challenging 20 year program, but it's necessary.  

Who Will Answer?

Charlie Kirk is dead because 1 in 3 students support violence against opposing speakers.

By Rich Kozlovich

Let's try and get this once .... just once.... please.  The left is a  terrorist movement.  When people tell you they hate you and want to kill you, then you should believe them. Daniel Greenfield posted an an article showing how two percent of the students questioned believed violence to stop free speech is "always" acceptable,  thirteen percent said is was “sometimes acceptable", but here's the kicker.  Only 19 percent felt it was “rarely acceptable.”  What exactly does "rarely acceptable" mean?  That was 34% of the students, what does the remaining 66% think?  They don't say, which is even more disturbing since it's clear they either didn't answer, didn't know, didn't want to say, but it seems clear to me they didn't confirm violence to stop free speech is "never acceptable."  Just how many violent left wing fanatics are out there?   A lot!

Conclusion?  Academia is a problem of mass proportions as these professors are corrupting the minds of America's youth, and they absolutely need to be held accountable.

 .........we need to take the ideological “fight” up a notch, and that includes holding professors accountable if it can be proven they incited their students to violence.  After all, a recent Emerson poll found that 41% of voters between the ages of 18 and 29 say the UnitedHealthcare CEO’s killing was “acceptable” or “somewhat acceptable.”  

That dreadful attitude wasn’t fomented in a vacuum, but in an intellectually vacuous classroom.......highfalutin initials behind their names are one of the great scourges of America as they mold pliable youngsters into anti-American radicals.  They may be protected by tenure, but, if proven that they incited a specific act of violence by one of their students, they should also be protected by the legal institutions they disparage.........., fight against the enemy within the ivory towers.......

It's time to start treating these leftist college campuses for what they are, terrorist training camps, and they must be de-radicalized, starting with ending all financial support for academia.  Call in the student loans, sue these institutions for false advertising promoting the idea so many of these useless degrees are the path to success.  Sue and/or charge academics who popularize violence, and demand an end to tenure.  They must be publicly exposed for their vile behavior.  

Charlie Kirk's murder, following the horrible murder of Iryna Zarutska, and all of that happening on the eve of the 9/11 anniversary is playing out like a "disturbance in the force", and is going to have long term consequences.   Representative Mike Collins is calling for the creation of a House Select Committee on left wing violence, and the Democrat party will not come out of that looking good by stretch of the imagination, or any effort to twist reality by them or their flunkies in the Pravda media. 

They may be more concerned about investigating active members of the nation's military, who are pretty much approving of Charlie Kirk's murder, which Pete Hegseth  says is unacceptable and will be addressed immediately, and someone needs to take a look at the Secret Service.

• Update, 9/12/25:   Secret Service Agent Who Said Kirk Got What He Deserved Is Now on Leave.  My Take - This agent hated Charlie Kirk spewing out lies about him and hates Donald Trump, and was quite public about it.   How could this man be in that job?  How could the Secret Service's leadership not know all this?   It's clear the Secret Service is still rife with people who need to be purged from the ranks, and I'm a firm believer that purge needs to start at the highest levels.   RK

Dems Resent Noem Being Safe, but Hid Ashli Babbitt's Killer for Seven Months

Coward Michael Byrd hid with his dog

 Susan Daniels Aug 31, 2025 @ Susan's Newsletter

Recently the Democrats were irate that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was living in military housing after harassment and death threats were made against her. The decision was made after “doxxing” turned into perceived intimidation.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem  

Assaults on law enforcement has increased dramatically, and Noem is an obvious target. The  assaults on ICE agents jumped 830% in the first six months of this year.

"Following the media’s publishing of the location of Secretary Noem’s Washington D.C. apartment, she has faced vicious doxxing on the dark web and a surge in death threats, including from the terrorist organizations, cartels, and criminal gangs that DHS targets. Due to threats and security concerns, she has been forced to temporarily stay in secure military housing," Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. "Secretary Noem continues to pay rent for her Navy Yard residence."

 Ironically, not a single complaint came from the whiners on the Left when then-Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd and his dog were housed at at taxpayer expense for seven months at Joint Base Andrews after he shot and killed U.S. Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt inside the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. We even paid for his phone calls.

Capitol Police Department Captain Michael Leroy Byrd

 Efforts to identify with him Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests filed by Judicial Watch were ignored by the FBI refused three times.

“In its complaint, Judicial Watch explained to the court that it had asked all three government agencies for all records relating to the billeting of Byrd at Joint Base Andrews during the period from January 6, 2021, to July 2022, including authorization papers, housing, meals, transportation, and visitor logs.

“The documents show that Lieutenant Byrd and a pet stayed in a “Distinguished Visitor Suite” at the “Presidential Inn” (part of Air Force Inns) under a “Capitol Police Presidential Inn Reservation” for the period July 8, 2021, through January 28, 2022.

 The Distinguished Visitor Suite is typically reserved for Brigadier Generals or above.

 

“Last month, also as a result of this lawsuit, Judicial Watch (JW) released records from the DC Police about the shooting death of Babbitt, showing that multiple officers claimed they didn’t see a weapon in Babbitt’s hand before Byrd shot her, and that Byrd was visibly distraught afterward. One officer attested that he didn’t hear any verbal commands before Byrd shot Babbitt.”

From those (JW) records: “The new records include the January 6, 2021, Metro PD Death Report for Babbitt (identified as Ashli Elizabeth McEntee-Babbitt Pamatian). The investigators note that the possible Manner of Death was ‘Homicide [Police Involved Shooting].’ The narrative description of the ‘Terminal Event’ (Babbitt’s death) notes that ‘the victim was shot inside of the U.S. Capitol building. After being shot, the victim was transported to Medstar for advance life support, however after several attempts to revive the victim, she succumb [sic] to her injury and was pronounced dead at 1515 hours by Dr. [redacted] the attending physician.’

“Under the ‘Investigation/Medical History’ portion of the report, the investigators wrote, Babbitt ‘was involved in a first amendment demonstration at the U.S. Capitol….(emphasis added) the decedent was shot by a member of Law Enforcement after breeching a secured room at First Street, Southeast, Washington, DC, (U.S. Capitol Building).”

According to congressional and police documents obtained by Just the News, “The Capitol Police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 riots and then was promoted has a lengthy internal affairs and disciplinary record that includes firearm-related incidents, a sweeping congressional investigation has found.

 “The issues in Captain Michael Byrd's background included a failed shotgun qualification test, a failed FBI background check for a weapon's purchase, a 33-day suspension for a lost weapon (which he left in a public restroom) and referral to Maryland state prosecutors for firing his gun at a stolen car fleeing his neighborhood.

Other interesting court filings for Byrd include two bankruptcies and two foreclosures. His 1999 Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharged all his debt. In 2009 Byrd filed for Chapter 13, which allows people to make payments on debts, but changed that to Chapter 7 to rid himself of those responsibilities. According to bankruptcy court documents, his income for 2009 was $142,144.

 The Trustee’s Final Report showed he paid $14,547 to clear debts of $1,237,680.00. Lawyers will be relieved to know that the trustee got her $2,393 fee from that amount.

He lost his house to the bank and the U.S. Senate Federal Credit Fund lost $20,555 for a car they financed. Despite foreclosures and bankruptcies, Byrd was able to purchase a $520,000 house in 2019.

Unlike others who would have been at least reduced in rank for his many failings, Byrd apparently was rewarded with a seven-month vacation after the shooting and eventually promoted to the rank of Captain.

Michael Byrd has owed the IRS $56,365.71 since 2019—Case No. FL19-1594— in Prince George’s County Courts. It is still unpaid. With interest and penalties it would now be over $100,000.

 

 But this may be what Byrd is waiting for: “For a filed tax return, the IRS generally has a 10-year statute of limitations to collect unpaid taxes from the date of assessment. Once this time, known as the Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED), expires, the IRS can no longer legally enforce collection of the tax debt.”

If it isn’t refiled within ten years, it is forgiven. I.R.S. has plenty of people and plenty of time to refile against him. However, if he is in jail, where he should be for the murder of Ashli Babbitt, they may have a problem collecting. And since the Air Force just agreed she should receive military funeral honors for her fourteen years of service, his day in court may be sooner than he thinks

 

Progressive Violence Inherent in a New Survey About Elon Musk

He should be jailed or buried? The poll should act as a wake-up call to the nation.

By Sarah Cowgill | May 21, 2025 @ Liberty Nation News, Tags: Articles, Opinion, Politics

An American cultural war is simmering – and it lies on the fringes, just in the peripheral view. Transparency is a promise being kept and accounted for by Elon Musk, who is uncovering fraud and corruption on nearly every level of a bloated federal government, showing it for all the world to see. And many progressives want to put him in jail – or worse.

“71% of Democrats think that Elon Musk should go to prison for his work eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse from the government,” was the latest poll from Rasmussen Reports and The Heartland Institute. Justin Haskins, a senior fellow at The Heartland Institute and the poll’s primary author, said the quiet part out loud:

“The fact that a majority of Democratic voters would support imprisoning Elon Musk for trying to make government more efficient is a shocking indictment of the modern left, which has become increasingly more tyrannical in recent years. We’ve reached a point where many Americans would rather unjustly punish innovation than fix the broken systems Musk was trying to reform.”

Death of Civility to Claim Musk

The progressive left seems to have forgotten about the US Constitution. There is an argument at every turn: The Second Amendment must go, and free speech must be curbed for hurt feelings. Don’t like your opponent on the right? Throw him in jail. Although Elon Musk is the current flash point for the left, he is just one of many targeted by progressives.

Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and Rutgers University Social Perception Lab surveyed 1,264 American citizens to get a read on the acceptance and willingness for violence against a political foe. The researchers call it Assassination Culture and use it throughout the 16-page data document. What they found was chilling: 41% of Democrats said they believed killing a “powerful political leader” is “at least somewhat justified.”

But add in the names of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and those numbers are even more shocking: Among those left of center on the political spectrum, 55% said killing Trump was justified, and 48% could see Musk being slain as well.

For what? And what is the hero worship of the man who assassinated a healthcare CEO? Luigi Mangione was unhinged. He was prodded and promoted to commit violence and fed a steady diet by the left-wing media and fringe outlets that killing Brian Thompson, UnitedHealthcare CEO, was the way to go. Numerous progressives praised that he had etched “deny, defend, depose” on the casing of the round that killed Thompson.

This week, James Comey, former FBI Director, posted “86 47” on his Instagram account. During the campaign, as Trump was nearly assassinated in Butler, PA, during his rally, a Democratic politician posted, “The last thing America needed was sympathy for the devil, but here we are,” said Rep. Steven Woodrow of Denver. And in a phone call after the Butler incident, then-President Biden told donors that the media wasn’t doing enough to scrutinize Trump and that it was “time to put Trump in the bulls-eye.”

Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman of New York said that Trump is so “dangerous” to Democracy that he “has to be eliminated.” Then-Vice President Harris said, “Does one of us have to come out alive?” when asked if she’d rather be stuck in an elevator with Trump, then-VP Pence, or former Sen. Jeff Sessions.

And Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) told a group of protesters gathered outside the Derek Chauvin trial for the death of George Floyd: “Well, we gotta stay on the street. And we’ve got to get more active. We’ve got to get more confrontational. We’ve got to ensure they know that we mean business.”

However, the violence is not only against Musk and Trump. It’s being primed, promoted, and inflicted by progressive politicians.

Storming the Bastille

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) was caught on video during the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka at the Delaney Hall Detention Center, allegedly body-slamming the police. A heated confrontation as Baraka was being detained for trespassing – he says he wanted to inspect the facility – between law enforcement violent mindset. McIver denies the incident: “Absolutely no. I mean, I honestly do not know how to body slam anyone. There’s no video that supports me body-slamming anyone. We, as Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman said we were simply there to do our job. There for an oversight visit.”

But that isn’t a true statement: DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told CNN that lawmakers could be arrested; the Department has “body camera footage of some of these members of Congress assaulting our ICE enforcement officers, including body slamming a female ICE officer.”

The scrum with ICE agents is the latest escalation of progressive pushback. Raymond Brown, an attorney for Baraka, dismissed the Trump administration officials who said Baraka “stormed Delaney Hall” and then referenced storming the Bastille and, of course, the go-to mantra – the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol.

“That’s storming. It’s a term of art. He didn’t do it,” Brown said.

Can We Dial It Down?

Two assassination attempts on a presidential candidate were committed by unhinged men who have been indoctrinated with the worst possible ways to cope with reality. High percentages of Americans believe that murdering the enemy will save Democracy. Our Democracy is in good hands; it’s the mindset that needs retooling. The actions of progressives, such as destroying personal property, tossing Molotov cocktails at Tesla dealerships, and promoting the elimination of Jews in America, are the exact opposite of what this great experiment stands for. Heroes are not those who murder healthcare executives. Heroes are not those calling for the genocide of the very people this nation liberated in WWII. Heroes don’t assassinate presidents.

We all must question our times and ask whether these events are aberrations or reflect an increasing national problem. Are they linked to a larger network? And does the public support them? It appears the public – at least a large portion, anyway – is way ahead in embracing the violent side in the political world.

Political Violence, Trump Assassination, Very Popular on the Left

A new study reveals left wing authoritarianism is back – and literally, with a vengeance.  

By Graham J Noble Apr 9, 2025 @ Liberty Nation News, Tags:  Articles, Opinion, Politics

The term “assassination culture” isn’t thrown around at cocktail parties or mentioned on TV news programs, but it does pop up several times in a 16-page study released on April 7 by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI). In association with the Rutgers University Social Perception Lab, NCRI surveyed 1,264 American citizens to gauge their attitudes toward political violence. Shockingly – or perhaps not so much – 41% of Democrats said they believed killing a “powerful political leader” is “at least somewhat justified.” But when a less generic question was asked, one that mentioned two very prominent political figures by name, the numbers went even higher.

According to this detailed and data-rich study, 31% of respondents said murdering Elon Musk would be at least somewhat justified, and 38% said the same for President Trump. But among only those who identified as being somewhere left of center on the political spectrum, those numbers rose to 48% and 55%, respectively.

Political Violence and Left-Wing Authoritarianism

The study highlights the growth – or maybe the resurgence, to be more accurate – of left-wing authoritarianism. This appears to have been fueled by social media, particularly the BlueSky platform. BlueSky is rife with posts normalizing political violence against President Trump, his supporters, conservatives and Republicans in general, Christians, and, basically, anyone who believes in individual liberty and who reveres the Constitution.

There was also a significant correlation between those who felt they could justify the murders of Trump and Musk and those who approved of the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione. The study notes, referring specifically to BlueSky, “Users are increasingly associating the memeification of Luigi Mangione with calls for political violence against Musk, Trump, and others, reflecting the growing cyber-social presence of assassination culture.”

Reddit is also a chief culprit. Efforts to moderate the extremism (predominantly from the left because conservatives are generally unwelcome) are thus far proving unsuccessful. One example included in the NCRI study is a screenshot of an exchange between two Reddit users. One posted the comment, “Rumor is muck [Musk] always has his kid on his shoulders to deter grassy knoll enthusiasts.” Another redditor responds, “If you ask me 1 potential future Musk is a worthy sacrifice for the betterment of the world.”

No one should be shrugging off this kind of thinking. It is worth remembering that, for every 100 or so basement-dwelling tough guy wannabes discussing on social media acts of violence they are neither willing nor able to carry out, there’s one unstable enough to act. Mangione was one. He had etched “deny, defend, depose” – a mantra of the extreme left – on the casing of the round that killed Brian Thompson. Ryan Routh and Thomas Crooks, the two leftists who attempted to assassinate Trump, were also examples of that one unstable enough individual.

This Is Not a Drill

The normalization, and even glorification, of political violence isn’t a mere fad confined to an extremist minority on the left. Rather, it has come to be accepted by a large percentage of left-wingers. As the study observes:

“The data reveal a structured endorsement of political violence targeting figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk. These attitudes are not fringe — they reflect an emergent assassination culture, grounded in far-left authoritarianism and increasingly normalized in digital discourse.”

Is the penchant for political violence found only on the left? That’s a question not easily answered. Few serious acts of violence motivated purely by political ideology have been carried out by right-wingers in the US in at least the last two decades. The January 6 riot on Capitol Hill that saw calls for then-Vice President Mike Pence to be hanged, was a rare and notable exception.

Still, this study found that 29% of respondents who identified as Republican agreed that killing a “powerful political leader” was at least somewhat justified. By contrast, 70.89% of Republicans and 58.84% of Democrats felt it was “not at all justified.”

The NCRI study concludes with an ominous warning about political violence, which the powerbrokers, influencers, pundits, political operators, and activists on both sides of the divide should heed: “Unless political and cultural leadership explicitly confronts and condemns this trend, NCRI assesses a growing probability of real-world escalation. Given the current economic volatility and institutional distrust, the online normalization of political violence may increasingly translate into offline action.”

Observations From the Back Row

Leftist Hate and Violence is Universal

By Rich Kozlovich

 

Let's start out today's edition with this quote: 

Liberal Democrats exhibit a profound deficiency in introspection, rendering them incapable of meaningful self-examination. The Democratic Party, in its rigid ideological conformity, brooks no deviation from its prescribed orthodoxy—it is an all-or-nothing political enterprise. In their strategic miscalculation, party leaders aligned themselves with the radical left, believing it would secure electoral success. Instead, this Faustian bargain has led them astray, leaving them adrift and directionless in a political landscape they no longer control.  Bob Thomas at American Thinker 

The Democrats are now completely unhinged even deliberately setting fire to the New Mexico Republican Party.  While "Daniel Garcia, a spokesperson for the Democratic Party of New Mexico issued a statement that the party hopes whoever is responsible is found and held accountable,” ... saying.....“We firmly maintain that this sort of act has absolutely no place in our democracy, and that peaceful discourse and organization are the only ways to approach political difference in our country”.  Who is this "we" he's talking about?  He must have a mouse in his pocket, because the Democrat party is rife with those who applaud this kind of insanity. 

Leftist television host Bill Maher was invited to the White House, and he accepted, and the left went nuts.  Dr. Michael Hurd makes this observation regarding the outrage and abject hate being thrown at Donald Trump, and just about everyone who works for him quoting Bill Maher saying:  

You have to respect that, the guy did win. It’s more than half the country… you can not like Trump, you can hate him, but you can’t hate everybody who voted for him… I don’t hate half the country and I don’t want to hate half the country,........... 

 

Having lost the election has turned the Democrats into crazed animals.  Hate, and the attending violence it insures, are the foundational moral convictions of the left, as Hurd goes on to say: 

Here’s another unhinged Democrat inciting violence: @RepJasmine Crockett says you should “punch” your opponents, then says Senator @tedcruz “has to be knocked over the head, like, hard.” Of course this freak is violent. She’s a Communist and a fascist, and violence is what Communism and fascism are all about. My question is: Why are people who threaten violence even permitted to hold office? 

We went to dinner last night and as I pulled out into traffic there was a Tesla just ahead of us with a sticker assuring anyone who wanted to throw a bomb at them they despised Elon Musk.  My thought was any car that looks that ugly might possibly be improved by being fire bombed, but that's neither here nor there.  The point is these people are nuts, even busing Rent-a-Mobs to protest at the "Southlake Texas Tesla building and yelling “Hands Off, Climate Science.” They were saying Musk should be deported and were screaming “Nazis” and “fascism.”'

Is there any doubt the left is nuts?  But why didn't they use local nutrolls?  They couldn't find any, or enough, so they imported them.  The question is, who's funding that?  It turns out there are as many as 24 organizations funding the Tesla Takedown madness.  More here.

Then there are the self funding lunatics.   One woman was was cut off while driving and then assaulted because she was driving a Tesla.   It turns out she was a 61 year old female Tesla driver was boxed in and beaten sitting in her car, by a man who hit her with a closed fist.

There is No Politics Without an Enemy - What is going on with the latest fashion for educated Democratic voters to key the DOGE-adjacent Tesla in the Whole Foods parking lot? As Elon Musk asks: who is pushing this propaganda to teach people to firebomb Teslas? What is it all about?  I will tell you what it’s all about. There is no politics without an enemy.....

Get a load of this Democrat as he Explodes in Rage at GOP Colleague After Gun Control Bill Defeat.  His reason for such outrage?  His brother committed suicide with a gun, and so society must rid itself of guns to assuage his pain.  

My thought was why did he commit suicide? Did he abuse drugs?  I wondered, and especially based on this losers actions, what his family life was like?   Was it as devoid of the discipline he clearly displayed?  Did he come from a totally dysfunctional family with no father figure and a lot of half brothers and sisters. 

I have no idea, about any of that, but if someone wants to commit suicide whether guns are available or not is meaningless.  Single parent families is the single greatest issue in black America,  not guns.

Then there's the question, "What do people needs guns for anyway, we have the police to protect us?"  Well, how about this.  Mike McDaniel posted this piece,  Criminal attack? You're on your own, showing how the police are becoming less and less effective by simply not doing the job society has set for them, and innocent people are being slaughtered especially in America's major cities where crime is running rampant and and the courts are allowing it.  The Supreme Court has ruled the "police have a duty only to the general public to deter crime by their presence and to investigate it after it occurs. They owe no duty of protection to individual citizens."  

But the police, the FBI, and others are more than happy to kick in the door of innocent people exercising their Constitutional rights, which is exactly what is happening in Europe, where they have no Constitutional rights, but they do have a lot of government tyranny. 

This Is Why We Must NEVER Give Up Our Right to Keep and Bear Arms. EVER! - Famously, 60 Minutes did a segment where they followed German law enforcement as they kicked in doors over memes. A more recent example is British police showing up at people's doors to investigate them for criticizing their children's school. Another example is that yes, you actually can be arrested for praying inside your own home. It's not a blanket ban on prayer in your home or anything, even if you live in close proximity to places like abortion clinics, but you can if you're visible and something thinks it's "performative," meaning they think you're protesting with that prayer. Pray in front of your living room window, and the cops might show up. That's a violation of people's freedom to worship.............Europeans, however, gave up their guns. They bought into the idea that security was more important than liberty, and now they are getting neither.  Would these European despots--even if they happen to have been democratically elected, they're still despots--have considered any of this if the people had the means to fight back?

 

In  South Africa their Supreme court has decided, ‘Kill the Boer’ isn't hate speech.   So now legally in South Africa to demand white genocide isn't really a call for white genocide, it's free speech!  But ironically, according to "Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, a lawyer representing Malema, also appeared at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) last year to argue that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s reference to the Bible to inspire soldiers was incitement to genocide against Hamas after the October 7, 2023, terror attack.   All in an attempt to justify all the vile murderous behavior Hamas perpetrated on innocent and unarmed  civilians, even roasting a baby alive in an over, even recording it with great joy.   

The minds of leftists are twisted beyond help, and everyone needs to understand that.  There can be no fellowship between darkness and light.  Why is that so hard to grasp?

The Conclusion

By Rich Kozlovich 

To say I will be glad when this election is over is an understatement, as even a newsie like me can only stand so much.  And while I've said the story is coming to a conclusion, I don't really believe that.   What I believe is that if Trump is elected the left is going to unleash their BLM, Antifa, and other dogs of war, who they been funding for years now, with rioting in every major city in America.  All of which they've turned into crime ridden filthy sewers.  All predicated on "equity", a given formula for disaster at every level.  

American Thinker is my favorite go to news site, and here are some of the articles that support all I've said.  The picture is from Dan Mitchell's article, Politician Humor, which I'm not posting.  However, if you go to the site and scroll down you'll come to a piece about a politician given a choice between going to heaven or hell.  Click that and watch.  It's worth the time, and fits in with the picture well.  

Understand this.  The left has no boundaries, they will resort to anything that will get them the power they so cravenly desire, and nothing is too vile for them to embrace in that pursuit. 

Democrats are committing the final sin: weaponizing people - A major battle is brewing in a coming collision of two unstoppable forces. One side is Marxist leftist progressivism and our administrative deep state (both movements roughly 100 years old in America). The second side is Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. This battle will be triggered the day after the November 5th election and may happen no matter which candidate wins for reasons I’ll describe below.

Unfortunately, to the Democrat’s final and shameful adoption of evil, they have managed to weaponize their followers into human ammunition. While BLM and Antifa rioted during the George Floyd era, that was merely a practice run. This time is different. The leftists and administrative state understand that Trump is a true existential threat to their continued power and likely to their organizational existence, of which he plans to start a brick-by-brick dismantling. The distinction I’m making using the term “weaponize” is one of political violence versus regular political actions.................

An enduring echo of our moral compass: The Judeo-Christian legacy in modern American governance -  In the architecture of American public life, the pillars of Judeo-Christian values are not merely decorative; they are the very foundation that gives it strength, character, and resilience. These values, originating from ancient texts yet still resonant today, have sculpted our national character, our laws, and our aspirations. They are the silent architects of our societal norms, influencing our public policy with a subtlety and depth that continues to inspire, challenge, and sometimes provoke..............

The Real Purpose of Fake Liberals -The following is not intended to criticize anyone truly liberal or who keeps an open mind. It is aimed at those who pretend to be liberal but are in fact allies of the Left, which makes them Marxists. Quotation marks on the word “liberal” separate the meaning of the word from its contrary practice.  “Liberal” reporters used to be fond of pointing out that the death of John F. Kennedy marked the end of this nation’s “age of innocence.”  ..............In reality, fake liberals are stalwart illiberals who don’t actually care what democracy is, as long as it can be used to advance a Marxist agenda. If the process is in fact undemocratic, what of it? If the Constitution needs to be ignored or trashed, what’s the problem? “Progress” must not be restricted.  Progress toward what?.......I’ll be blunt: The woke among us have exposed themselves to a class of elites whose sense of justice is like that of wolves..........

 

It’s All About Control: The Elite Plan for the Great Food Reset-  Besides ‘degrowth’ and ‘net zero,’ one other dangerous buzz phrase being bandied about by proponents of the Great Reset is “nature-positive food systems.”  The stated goal of moving to new food systems is to reduce nitrogen emissions, livestock production, and meat consumption.  This is to be achieved by consuming plant-based products, lab-grown foods, and insects (as a source of protein).  The moot question, however, is whether such a change is at all necessary?

The U.N., the World Economic Forum (WEF), the Rockefeller Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and other NGOs would have us believe so.  These institutions are controlled by the global elite, who aim to create monopolistic markets for themselves and enslave people, turning them first into captive consumers without choice, and eventually, without free will.  So, the U.N. and its co-conspirators have manufactured a food crisis, and by linking it to their other fabrication — an exaggerated climate crisis — they are using it to reset the world’s food system................

 Is It Bad Enough Yet?-  Podcaster and radio host Dan Bongino frequently asks his listeners, “Is it bad enough yet?” In other words, has the level of socio-economic and political punishment being dished out to you reached a point where you’ve had enough? What else do Kamala Harris and her party have to do to convince you that they hold you in utter contempt? This question is especially pertinent when addressed to Christians and Jews. In her memoir, Harris wrote of praying before difficult decisions, “Before bed, I would say a small prayer: ‘God, please help me do the right thing.’” Given her actions on subsequent occasions one wonders if she was being truthful in her memoir or, if I may be so bold perhaps God has been ignoring her...........(Kamala was raised as a Marxist)_ ...........In 2016 California AG Harris prosecuted whistleblower David Daleiden, who exposed Planned Parenthood's (PP) role in selling organs and body tissues from aborted children. She ordered California DOJ agents to raid Daleiden’s home and seize files and equipment he used to make his undercover videos. Charges against Daleiden include recording the PP executives without their permission...................

 The Case of the Disappearing Ballots - Mail-in ballots are on the docket in several ongoing election fraud cases in Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., and Maryland. The lawsuits ask for transparency with regard to contracts with the United States Postal Service (USPS) to transport alleged completed mail-in ballots. The lawsuits hope to get to the bottom of questions about the legitimacy of the ballots, where the ballots are going, and what is being done with them. These cases may settle questions around whether fraudulent ballots are being used in our elections to stuff the ballot box, among other things.

In October 2020, thousands of mail-in ballots were allegedly transported across state lines from Bethpage N.Y. to PA. Evidence shows that ballots were loaded on to a truck driven by USPS subcontractor Jesse Morgan. Morgan delivered them to Lancaster, PA and the ballots allegedly disappeared. Morgan has publicly spoken about what he witnessed and has also provided a signed affidavit about the incident............

My conclusion?  Many years ago my mother who was an ardent FDR Democrat once said how upset she was over those who thought Nixon would have been a great President after he was defeated via voter fraud by Kennedy, and said she wished he was elected so they could see how rotten he is, but the rest of us would also have to suffer.  Well, my mom was right, Nixon was a disaster, but this is far worse.  

 

We're in for a difficult time if Trump is elected, but that will be fixed.  As for Harris being elected, I've often channeled my mom's thoughts regarding Nixon when I read the idiotic these nitwit RINO's, media dunderheads, and stupid celebrities say promoting Kamala Harris. 

"America is at a crossroads, that much is clear.  One path wants this nation to be great again.  The other has a globalist vision in which individuals are insignificant beyond their membership in a minority group.  That Kamala Harris has any supporters is a sad commentary on the current state of our citizenry’s moral authority. Hers reeks of the communist ideology she has long embraced."  

If Harris is elected it will be far worse then anything Nixon did, as it will be the end of America as we know it.

Mayhem in America the New Normal Under Dems—Parolee Murders Young Tech Exec, Mobs Ransack Philly

By Bob Hoge September 27, 2023 

It started with the George Floyd riots in the summer of 2020 when mobs took to the streets of America to loot, destroy, and kill with the tacit approval of the Democrat elite. Since-disgraced CNN anchor Chris Cuomo argued that sometimes such behavior was justified, while Vice President Kamala Harris endorsed bail funds to support rioters. You could argue that it goes back to the LA riots of '92 or the Detroit riots in the late '60s, but at least in those days, it was generally acknowledged that such behavior shouldn’t be tolerated. Now you could argue that it’s encouraged. 

Two more horrible stories emerged Tuesday night to underscore the decline of the United States. In one, a young tech executive with a bright future was brutally murdered in Baltimore by a violent convict on parole. In the second, massive mobs took to the streets of Philadelphia to destroy the already embattled stores of companies like Target. What have we come to?........

Meanwhile, in the deep blue city of Baltimore, 26-year-old rising tech executive Pava LaPere was brutally murdered in her apartment, and the suspect is 32-year-old Jason Billingsley who, wait for it… has a long history of sexual violence yet was let out early on parole. How many times do we have to hear this same story before people get the message?..........

Sadly, there will be others like her until the woke Democrat zealots and their entire worldview are voted out of office. I just pray that next time it’s not my daughter, it's not your daughter, it's not anybody’s… but it will likely be somebody’s as this perverse catering to criminals and lawlessness continues on unabated in our country.......To Read More....

The Dirty Money Behind the Lynching of Clarence Thomas

By Daniel Greenfield May 24, 2023 Supreme Court @ Sultan Knish Blog

The country is witnessing the second high-profile lynching effort of Justice Clarence Thomas. Even while the media ignores the millions from foreign nationals passing through shell companies to the Biden family, it has pushed invented scandals for Thomas while demanding his resignation to make way for a radical leftist Biden court appointee.

While no one expects anything but lies and smears from the media, few are aware of how the smear campaign against Justice Thomas was organized and who is funding it.

Before it was splashed all over the media, the Clarence Thomas smears were mostly generated by ProPublica with articles such as “Clarence Thomas’ Secret Life of Luxury” then rebroadcast by the media in stories such as “ProPublica: GOP megadonor paid private school tuition for grandnephew of Justice Clarence Thomas” which keep the smear campaign going.

While the media is deeply interested in who paid for Thomas’ grandnephew’s education, it’s uninterested in where the money that funds ProPublica’s smear campaign is coming from.

ProPublica has amplified the coverage of Harlan Crow, a conservative donor who is friendly with Thomas, but is less interested in discussing some of the men who back its operations. Its leftist smear campaigns are funded by the man who helped bring down the economy with his abusive tactics, a former Enron executive and FTX crypto-fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried.

The money that brought down banks is now trying to bring down a Supreme Court Justice.

ProPublica is a leftist nonprofit set up as an “ethical watchdog” by Herbert Sandler, listed by Time Magazine, as one of the 25 people to blame for the financial crisis of 2008, and more bluntly by Saturday Night Live as, ““people who should be shot”. (In a sign of the power and influence of the Sandlers, the SNL skit was quickly censored and cannot be found on NBC.)

Flush with billions from selling off their Golden West mortgage company, which had used “misleading” ads to prey on minority borrowers, to Wachovia Bank, tanking it and helping cause the financial crisis, Herbert invested his money in social justice.

And that made him “the man who made ProPublica possible.”

ProPublica had gotten its initial funding with the money harvested by Sandler from taking down Wachovia, and, more recently, it was promised $10 million by Sam-Bankman Fried whose collapse of FTX helped bring down Silicon Valley Bank and cause the worst wave of bank failures since the Wachovia collapse. When bad men bring down banks with their financial abuses, they write a check to ProPublica while their victims lose everything.

ProPublica, which claims that its mission is to “expose abuses of power and betrayals of the public trust”, makes no mention of any of this in its profile of Sandler: its beloved founder and chairman whose corrupt greed destroyed the financial security of millions of Americans.

Instead, ProPublica claims that Golden West, which took down the economy, “was considered to be one of the best managed financial institutions in the country” and “most admired savings institution”. This is exactly the kind of “fearless journalism” that has embedded ProPublica’s privately-funded smear campaigns against Republicans in media outlets across America.

ProPublica’s shameless lies are understandable as Sandler chaired the leftist smear group until his demise and Steve Daetz, the deputy general counsel at Golden West, and president of the Sandler Foundation, serves as one of ProPublica’s directors, and the Sandler Foundation continues to fund ProPublica’s smear campaigns of Republicans.

In addition to ProPublica’s origins in the money that helped take down the economy, its leading supporters include John D. Arnold, a former Enron executive who became the youngest billionaire in the country, and the leftist smear group was recently forced to give up $1.6 million from FTX crypto-fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried that was originally part of a $10 million grant.

When taking Bankman-Fried’s millions, ProPublica President Robin Sparkman claimed that the money would be used to “hold power accountable”. The exposure of FTX did not come from ProPublica’s vaunted “investigative journalism that holds power accountable” and the leftist group dragged its feet on giving up its latest pile of dirty money until late December 2022.

No word from ProPublica on whether FTX was also “one of the best managed financial institutions in the country”. Or was $10 million not enough to buy such shameless lies?

ProPublica’s list of its “leading” supporters is uniquely tilted to wealthy men in the financial industry who may be in a position to profit from a shift in the Supreme Court. The list of backers for ProPublica’s public smear campaigns includes hedge fund, private equity and venture capital figures. And those who are closely associated with them and their financial interests.

In a word, Wall Street and the Bay Area. Unlike Sandler and Bankman-Fried, there’s no scandal or investigation attached to the majority of such funding sources, but they do raise questions.

While ProPublica draws on money from the usual lefty foundations including Carnegie, W.K. Kellogg F, John S. and James L. Knight, James M. and Cathleen D. Stone Foundation, and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation whose money can usually be found around nearly every leftist cause, it also draws on a large number of financial industry donors including S Donald Sussman, a hedge fund executive and party megadonor, Tom Unterman, a venture capital firm founder, Mark Colodny, a managing director at Warburg Pincus, a private equity firm, Bruce Golden, a venture capital firm founder, and Mitchell Lasky, a general partner at a venture capital firm.

Ronald Olson, famous as Warren Buffett and Mark Zuckerberg’s lawyer, as well as the lawyer handling Bill Gates’ divorce battle, is a ProPublica director and a major financial supporter. Olson is also a director at Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway and a partner at Munger, Tolles & Olson. The ‘Munger’ is Charlie Munger: Buffett’s partner. Olson is also a Biden donor and sat on the board of Bill Clinton’s defense fund for his Whitewater and Paula Jones scandals.

What impact would removing Justice Clarence Thomas from the Supreme Court have on the finances of Berkshire Hathaway and the potential cases of a ‘super-lawyer’ who is rated as being able to argue cases before the Supreme Court? Olson testified at Justice Clarence Thomas’ Senate hearings and, as the LA Times put it, “chaired the American Bar Assn. committee that rated Clarence Thomas barely qualified for the U. S. Supreme Court.”

Another financial mastermind backing ProPublica is Sir Michael Jonathan Moritz, a Sequoia Capital partner, and major Democrat donor who has also funded dirty operations like Pacronym, American Bridge and the Lincoln Project.

The ProPublica money that raises the most questions comes from an unlikely source: the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Best known for its Golden Globe awards, the HFPA is a collection of foreign reporters that cover Hollywood. The Golden Globe awards are used to fund the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Charitable Trust which is supposed to be a charity funding “entertainment-related charities”. It’s not clear how smearing the only black man on the Supreme Court qualifies as an “entertainment-related” charitable cause.

I ended up playing a small role in the leftist hijacking of the HFPA when a former president sent out one of my Front Page Magazine articles which discussed the connections between Hollywood and BLM, only to be promptly purged and denounced by the organization..

The ugly act of political censorship, widely covered in headlines such as “Former HFPA President Calls BLM a ‘Racist Hate Movement'” and “Former HFPA president blasted over Black Lives Matter” played into a pressure campaign by leftist groups to which the HFPA surrendered. Its funding of ProPublica, a leftist attack dog group which has nothing to do with scholarships for filmmakers or protecting the culture of film, its stated goals, may have been one of the payoffs.

But the funding from HFPA raises its own legal and ethical questions.

The HFPA’s members are not necessarily American citizens and cannot fund political campaigns. While ProPublica is a 501(c)(3) which currently can be funded by foreign donors, at least until necessary reforms prevent the infusion of foreign money into American politics are put into place, its campaigns are obviously directed at achieving Democrat political goals.

While there is currently nothing technically illegal about foreign donors funding a campaign to force a Supreme Court justice off the bench, the problems with such a move are obvious.

Despite claiming to follow ethical standards and even to impose them on others, ProPublica has failed to distinguish which of its political activities are financed by American or foreign donors.

Could foreign money be financing its lynching of Justice Clarence Thomas?

We certainly know that dirty money, the cash that brought down two waves of banks, that destroyed the livelihoods and incomes of millions of Americans, is now trying to bring down a Supreme Court justice.

Rex Murphy: The Attack on Riley Gaines Shows Just How Far Things Have Sunk

By Rex Murphy April 10, 2023

Women are women. How’s that for a sentence? A declaration.To say a woman is a woman requires no prefix. It requires no qualifier. No extra start-up syllable. It requires no semantic trickery to take its plain and always-understood sense—its sense since the beginning of time and the discovery of language itself—to try to turn it into something else............Man and woman are two of the most primary, first-learned, lexical understandings of every language the globe has or has had.........

After giving a talk and taking questions on why female athletes should not to be forced to compete with males, as she left the lecture room she was literally ambushed by a mob of trans activists. She was hit twice by a male wearing female clothes, and she was shouted at and screamed at with some of the most vulgar terms. She was barely protected by a few campus police officers as they managed to get her into a side room. The mob then demanded “money” before they would let her leave. Naturally Gaines refused. She was then kept virtually a hostage—remember this is on a university campus, a home of inquiry and debate and civilized human exchange—for a whole three hours.

Here, in her own words from an op-ed for the Daily Mail, Gaines writes:

“Just over one year ago, I wouldn’t have imagined that I’d find myself barricaded inside a classroom in a building on the campus of San Francisco State University.

“Outside the door a violent, racist mob chanted threats against me.“‘Open the door, we want Riley,’ they screamed.“‘Why are you protecting a white woman?’ the mob spit at security.“‘This is vengeance.’“‘You’re protecting a transphobe.’”

The anger of the mob was palpable. But then trans-rights types seem to make anger and abuse part of their tactics...................To Read More

What Is Happening in Our Schools?, By Theresa Brown April 17, 2023 - In March 2023, a 10th-grade teacher (and football coach) at Churchill High School in Eugene, Oregon asked students to describe their sexual fantasies in detail in two separate assignments.  One assignment was entitled "With Whom Would You Do It" and featured a spinning wheel labeled with pornographic classifications such as "anal penetration, oral sex, licking of the ear, and kissing."  In the second assignment, students were required to draw three written items from a hat and use them in their "Fantasy Story."  Items included such things as candles, massage oil, feathers, and syrup.  Upon hearing of the assignments, outraged parents appeared at a school board meeting expecting the board to take appropriate action against the teacher.  When the board denied that the assignments had even been given, parents demanded that the entire school board be removed. This story raises a number of important questions.  For example, how is it possible for this situation to occur?  What kind of people are being hired to teach K–12?  Perhaps most importantly, why wasn't the teacher following the school curriculum?.........

Dem Katie Porter Gets Destroyed Following Disgraceful Comments About Riley Gaines Trans Attack - Sarah Arnold  |  April 16, 2023 - Piers Morgan torches Democrat Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif) after she said she “strongly” disagrees with pro-swimmer Riley Gaines who was attacked and barricaded in a room for nearly three hours by an angry mob of transgender activists.  The heated exchange happened on HBO’s “Real Time” episode with host Bill Maher as the panelists discussed the incident. Porter and Morgan discussed the Bud Light controversy featuring a transgender male on the can and Gaines tying with Lia Thomas, a transgender male allowed to compete in women’s sports.  Porter claimed that sporting bodies should be the ones to determine whether transgender people get to compete against biological males or females.  “But what has she [Gaines] said that is actually wrong?” Morgan questioned.............

America's Crime Problem Began in College

By Daniel Greenfield April 13, 2023 @ Sultan Knish Blog 

 The pro-crime movement that swept America began in part with an article by Angela Davis, "Racialized Punishment and Prison Abolition." Davis, a UCLA academic, started by quoting Michel Foucault, a French academic with the Collège de France. 

Foucault's 'Discipline and Punish', which Davis described as "arguably the most influential text in contemporary studies of the prison system" remains widely studied on college campuses along with Davis’ racial spin that long since entered politics and pop culture in the form of police defunding and other allied efforts to eliminate prisons, prosecutions and the justice system.

The two activist academics were not really interested in crime and the penal system as a field of research. They were bent on fomenting a civil war that would put the Left in power.

Foucault, a Marxist-trained philosopher, had been a co-founder of the Prison Information Group to support the Maoists imprisoned over the radical violence in France in 1968. Foucault had credited the riots with stimulating his interest in “the direction of penal theory”.

Angela Davis had bought the guns used in a murderous terrorist attack on a Marin County courthouse by the Black Panthers. The attack roughly coincided with Foucault’s visit to the United States during which he “investigated” the American prison system and the death of George Jackson: the Panther leader whom the Marin County attack had been meant to free.

Police defunding and the pro-crime movement came out of universities not out of an abstract interest in social justice, but to aid the leftist domestic terrorists trying to overthrow free nations.

The French Maoists and Black Panthers bonded by their shared experiences of being locked up for their crimes came to see prisons as “not only Marxist universities,but training camps” and criminals as the vanguard of the revolution. Like most Marxist ideas, it was academic radicals who developed these ideas into an ideology that could be popularized and mainstreamed.

The violence of the Black Lives Matter riots, founded by “trained Marxists” who viewed Davis as a role model, and the even more catastrophic wave of death spurred on by implementing their policy demands, defunding police, ending prosecutions and freeing criminals, cost thousands of lives. Those deaths, like the movement behind them, came out of universities.

Despite her Communism and domestic terrorism, Davis is a faculty member at UC Santa Cruz. But she’s not alone. Other former leftist terrorists have taken up academic positions including Bill Ayers and Susan Rosenberg. Ayers taught at the University of Chicago until he retired and he has promoted police defunding. Susan Rosenberg, on her release, was offered a position at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and co-chaired the fiscal sponsor of BLM.

Rosenberg has been described as an “anti-prison activist”. John Jay College, a formerly prestigious institution whose alumni include New York City Mayor Eric Adams, and whose students go on to serve in the FBI, the NYPD, and the Secret Service, endorsed its own version of police defunding. The public college partners on fellowships with the Vera Justice Institute committed to “ending mass incarceration”. Students are asked to envision the institute in terms of Foucault’s critiques of the prison system.

Within the span of two generations, future law enforcement personnel were being indoctrinated with the teachings of Marxist domestic terrorists and their political allies. The situation at John Jay is emblematic of what has happened to criminology departments across the country.

The country’s top criminology departments, like those at the University of Maryland, UC-Irvine and Rutgers, begin with the premise that the criminal justice system is racially biased.

The University of Maryland’s Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice has its Racial Democracy Crime and Justice Network Small Grants Program, UC-Irvine’s Criminology program has a graduate emphasis on “Race and Justice Studies”, while Rutgers’ School of Criminal Justice takes part in the university’s Fellows in Racial Justice program. One of those fellows brags that being a “convicted felon” who spent time in maximum security prison allows him to “empathize with the downtrodden” and led to his “fervent commitment to activism”.

That’s the state of criminology at universities, but the general state of universities is even worse. Black studies programs offer a prison abolition syllabus (which predictably includes both Foucault and Davis) tying together faculty from Harvard and Wesleyan among others. Rutgers, Notre Dame, the University of Texas, the University of Colorado, among many others, offer Black Lives Matter courses, whose villains are invariably white people and cops.

BLM protests were widely backed by 8 out of 10 college students. Many of the protests were organized on campuses and involved faculty like Melina Abdullah, a co-founder of BLM’s Los Angeles chapter, who has made a bid to take over the group. Abdullah, the granddaughter of a prominent German Marxist, is a black studies professor at California State University.

The fundamental message of Foucault and Davis, refracted through BLM, was broadcast through academia. The policies, police defunding, prison releases and decriminalization, and the violent riots, helped unleash an unprecedented crime wave. The ideas originally promoted by radicals in the 70s have led to a generation of progressive pro-crime DAs, many backed by George Soros, like Manhattan’s Alvin Bragg, Los Angeles’ George Gascon and Philly’s Larry Krasner, or Biden’s US Attorney in D.C., Michael Graves, who declined to prosecute in 67% of cases, who have dismantled the criminal justice system from within.

As a result of BLM and pro-crime policies, around 5,000 more people were murdered in 2020. And the rate of black people being murdered increased more than any other group. The CDC’s research showed that, “in 2020, one out of every 1,000 young Black males (15–34) was shot and killed.” Murder is the leading cause of death for black men from 20 to 44 years old.

All of this can be traced back to academia which promoted the idea that white people are racist oppressors and that the best way to fix that is to replace the police and the criminal justice system with social workers and apologies.

Restorative Justice, which proposes to replace crime and punishment with forgiveness for the perpetrator, originated in part from Goshen College in Indiana which now offers both a major and a minor in letting criminals go unpunished. Mariame Kaba, the contemporary godmother of police defunding, teaches at Barnard University. Kaba made her views plain in an op-ed titled, “Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police.” The world that Kaba would make is laid out on her site, ‘Transform Harm’, which is funded by George Soros’ Open Society Foundations. It features a sociologist proposing that rapists write apology letters and a professor of gender studies claiming that sending Larry Nassar, who had sexually abused some 250 girls, to prison embodies “political whiteness”.

Even in the face of growing crime and violence, academia continues to double down on a pro-crime program initially conceived in support of Marxist terrorists, but which has become a general program of supporting and enabling criminals across society.

To fight crime, we must lock up criminals, but we must also end the taxpayer funding of pro-crime universities, departments and programs. While most criminals eventually face consequences for the robberies, rapes and murders that they commit, the academics who enable them never do.
