Islam is on a march of conquest
And it’s been on this march for 1500 years.
It’s America’s 250th birthday
It’s also Calvin Coolidge’s 154th birthday.
Coolidge would not recognize the United States of America of 2026, and he definitely would not recognize his brave little state.
It should be remembered that the founding fathers themselves were very skeptical that America would last any length of time.
Two of our founding fathers, John Adams:
“Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
And Thomas Jefferson:
“Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day.”
“I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious. Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have … The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases. The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.”
“You seem to consider the judges the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges … and their power [are] the more dangerous as they are in office for life, and are not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control. The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with the corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots. It has more wisely made all the departments coequal and co-sovereign within themselves …. When the legislative or executive functionaries act unconstitutionally, they are responsible to the people in their elective capacity. The exemption of the judges from that is quite dangerous enough. I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society, but the people themselves. ….” — Letter to Mr. Jarvis, Sept, 1820
A happy and safe 4th of July
These are not your grandfather’s Democrats
VIA Ace of Spades
The descent into socialism that NYC seems to have embraced was not created out of whole cloth. This was not some covert effort to insinuate a crypto-socialist into the halls of power, the way Obama slithered his way into the Oval Office. The NYC versions are out-and-proud Islamo-fascists who cover themselves with a thin veneer of socialism that in and of itself is compatible with Islam.
What they did was clever…embracing the disaffection of an over-educated youth whose worthless degrees and lack of any actual worthwhile skills prevented them from entering the highly competitive workforce of NYC, all while expanding their cutely named “Democratic Socialist” platform to include a reprehensible foreign policy that centers around Jew-hate. That attracted the new 3rd World immigrants and the AWFLs. Couple that with a notoriously low turn-out and obvious vote manipulation, and Bingo! We have a NYC that is indistinguishable from Cuba.
Their platform is simple. America is evil. Israel is evil. Market economies are evil. Wealth is evil. The rule of law is evil. Confiscatory taxation to fund a comprehensive welfare state to benefit their voters is the only way to run a city, state, or nation.
Jeffrey Carter, a finance guy who came within a few thousand votes of the Republican nomination for NV Treasurer, has written a primer on the emergence of socialism in America, and it is worth a careful read. He is polite, and sometimes calls them Democrats, but the results are the same.
Democrats played the very long game. Where did it start? Post 1960s, the radicals quit trying to change society overtly. They all went into education. They became respected members of the professor class, and frankly, that professor class had a bias toward welcoming them in. That’s how Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn, worked. Here they are. Smiling commies with their red stars. Totally accepted in the Obama network.
Never forget, The Weatherman and 60s radicals all grew up wealthy. Ayer’s father was the CEO of Commonwealth Edison. They have trust funds and generational wealth to rely on. President FDR was the same. They won’t part with it, but they are happy to take yours.
It took a couple of generations via taking over the public and private school system, but we have a lot of people out there who do not understand capitalism and think America is a racist country with a flawed founding.
They are easily persuaded to communism, socialism, or whatever you want to call it.
No amount of data can get them out of their confirmation bias.
Well, there is one bit of data that will convince them of the evils of socialism, but that is the end game, when they are lined up against a wall and shot for being enemies of the state. That is the unavoidable result of the ignorance that is engulfing the West. As Marx himself said:
When our turn comes, we shall make no excuse for the terror
So where will patriotic Democrats go, now that the hard left of their party is subsuming the rest of them?
The center of the Democratic Party is gone. It’s over for people like Senator Fetterman. There are no Danny Rostenkowskis, Scoop Jacksons, or Tip O’ Neills. Rahm Emanuel is running around the country trying to save it but he was the butler who helped usher in the communists as Obama’s Chief of Staff.
The answer is that they will support the obscenity of the Democratic Socialist wing because the political philosophy of the Democrat party is simply a prettier version of Stalin’s…the lust for power is all-encompassing, and mainstream Democrats will hold their noses and continue to vote for what can only end in Gulags and concentration camps and wholesale murder and death.
They seem nice!

It was the right decision…
….’ At the time’.
And hindsight is always 20-20.
Would’nt be amazing if Hillery ran again.
Europe is screwed.
And it was all self-inflicted.
When Europeans abandon their Christian heritage because they consider themselves too enlightened to believe in the faith of their ancestors, and instead choose to embrace the atheist religion of Marxism-socialism.
Three times, Christian Europe defended itself against Islam’s armies of conquest. At the Battle of Tours in 732, the Siege of Vienna in 1529, and the Battle of Vienna in 1683.
But after decades of ‘free’ healthcare, ‘free’ education, bowing at the altar of ‘climate change’, the destruction of families that led to a plunging birthrate, and the virtue signaling self-loathing for Judeo-Christian civilization. Europe decided to cut its own throat.
America needs to take note and not let it happen here.
Leftism…
Denying human nature since 1789
Ecclesiastes 10:2
A wise person’s heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish person’s heart directs him toward the left.
All gave some…
Some gave all….
It’s always a case of…
Who is suppressing whom!
Styx is back…!!
And just like that…
And it was all his computers fault…Hmmmm.
Styx has snapped
I have in the past featured quite a few of Styx’s videos. He’s quite a character. I aligned a lot with his libertarian outlook, and the fact that he’s a local boy residing in Rutland, Vermont.
I haven’t seen much of him on Youtube latley, and obviously there is a reason why.
