Joondeph: Indoctrinated, indebted and disillusioned—why socialism seduces Gen Z

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Once seen as a taboo word in American politics, socialism has experienced a notable resurgence, especially among young voters. Polls show that more than half of millennials and Gen Zers now view socialism favorably. Politicians like Senator Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have transformed what was once a fringe ideology into a highly popular political movement. Even more troubling, they’ve achieved this not through real policy solutions but by promoting a utopian fantasy rooted in grievance, entitlement, and historical ignorance. Image via ChatGPT Socialism is a system of “governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.” No truly socialist socie...

Senate prepares to approve Trump’s $9B spending cuts as GOP unites on fiscal restraint

By Alexander Bolton | The Hill Senate Republicans say they have the votes to pass a package of $9 billion in spending cuts, which would give President Trump another big legislative victory in less than a month, after GOP leaders quelled a revolt from members of the powerful Appropriations Committee. Russell Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), told reporters Tuesday that the “rescissions package” now has enough votes to pass the Senate after he and the Senate GOP leaders agreed to an amendment to remove cuts to the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the global initiative former President George W. Bush launched in 2003 to combat AIDS. Vought, the administration’s chief budget watchdog, also worked out a side deal with ...

Marketing group CEO rejects $20M offer to stage anti-Trump protests: ‘Didn’t want to be involved’

By Thomas Stevenson | Post Millennial "We rejected an offer that probably is worth around $20 million." The CEO of "Crowds on Demand" has said that he rejected an offer of $20 million to organize the "Good Trouble Lives On" protests taking place on July 17. The CEO of Crowds on Demand Adam Stewart told reporters at News Nation, "We rejected an offer that probably is worth around $20 million ... The value of the contract would have been worth around that amount nationwide to organize huge demonstrations around the country. But personally, I just don't think it's effective." When News Nation addressed who had offered him the money, he did not say who it was that had approached him about organizing the protest and that he had concerns about violence, thought it would be ineffectiv...

White House Scrambles to Review One Million Biden Autopen Docs

By Tim Pearce | Daily Wire The White House is conducting a review of potentially more than one million documents approved through the autopen process under former President Joe Biden. The White House Counsel’s Office is leading an investigation into the former president and his staff’s use of the autopen. The White House has already assembled tens of thousands of documents from Biden’s term turned over by the National Archives for review, according to Fox News. “Joe Biden was the worst, most incompetent, and senile president in our country’s history,” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News. “It has been widely reported that Joe Biden handed the power of the presidency to an autopen controlled by unelected leftist staffers, who were allowed to make terrible decisions that d...

Langone: Tariffs Worked, America Is Stronger Because of Trump’s Leadership

By Charlotte Hazard | Just The News Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone said Tuesday that his concerns about President Donald Trump's tariff policy were unfounded, and he supports the president. “I think, damn it, give Trump credit, his instincts are good,” Langone said in a statement, according to The Daily Caller. “Some of these things need to be fixed. Take Germany, take Japan. God bless America, 80 years ago, when the war was over, we made our mind up, we’re not going to be the conquering hero. We’re going to go in and help these countries rebuild themselves. And we did. To our credit, we did.” At first, Langone was skeptical about tariffs, but said he is "sold" on the current president. Earlier this year, Trump imposed reciprocal tariffs on multiple countries, but then issue...

Elite economist slips: Deportations under Trump raised wages

By Neil Munro | Breitbart President Donald Trump is pushing up wages for millions of Americans by ending the federal welcome for millions of illegal migrants, says a pro-migration economist at a Washington, DC, think-tank. “We’re going to see stronger wage growth in some occupations, stronger wage growth in the agricultural sector, stronger wage growth for home health workers,” said Wendy Edelberg, a “senior fellow” at the elite-funded Brookings Institution in Washington, DC. But the loss of deported migrants will have “pretty modest economic effects” on the overall size of the nation’s economy, she told Bloomberg on July 11. “I think those [economic effects] are dwarfed by just the visceral effect” as business reacts to the sudden cut-off of expected migrants, she said. “We ma...

Progressive Projects Slashed as State Dept. Returns to Mission Focus

By Byron York | The Washington Examiner A SENSIBLE LOOK AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT CUTS. On Friday, the Trump administration laid off about 1,350 employees at the State Department. A number of news reports described the staff cuts as “devastating.” Others suggested that the downsizing will endanger U.S. national security. The New York Times said the cuts “demote longtime U.S. values,” while the Washington Post said they “will degrade America’s standing in the world and curb U.S. soft power.” First, a little perspective. According to State Department documents, the total number of department employees has grown significantly over the years. In 2007, there were 57,340. By 2015, there were 72,895. By 2024, there were 80,214. That is an increase of 22,874 employees over 17 years. After the ...

Dem Insider Carville Admits He’s ‘Praying’ for Economic Collapse for a Chance to Beat Trump

 By Gabriel Hays | Fox News Some Democratic strategists are so desperate for the party to start performing better, that they’re hoping for the economy to tank. A report from The Hill on Tuesday quoted several Democratic strategists reflecting on what they see as the dismal state of the Democratic Party. One said the party should be "praying" for a depression as a lifeline for their declining popularity following President Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory. "This is a nightmare scenario for the Dems right now," an anonymous strategist told the outlet. "We better pray long and hard that the country is going to be in a f‑‑‑--- depression, because I don’t know how else we find ourselves out of this mess." The Hill report prefaced that sobering impression of the Democratic Party ...

Hancock: Race is the excuse—power is the prize

By Michael A. Hancock | Commentary, Substack Exposing the Ideological Machine Behind ‘Systemic Racism’ There’s a dirty little secret in American life: Much of what we call “racism” today isn’t really about race at all. It’s about power. It’s about control—of narratives, of institutions, of money, of minds. Race is just the excuse. The lever. The emotional booby trap that gets people to surrender their judgment in the name of justice. We live in a time when invoking racism is more profitable than solving it. More potent than proving it. And more politically useful than letting it die. But let’s be clear: actual racism—an irrational hatred or fear of someone based solely on skin color—is real, evil, and must be condemned wherever it exists. The problem is that’s not what do...

Supreme Court Backs Trump in Bold Move to Downsize Federal Education Bureaucracy

By Mark Sherman | AP News WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is allowing President Donald Trump to put his plan to dismantle the Education Department back on track — and to go through with laying off nearly 1,400 employees. With the three liberal justices in dissent, the court on Monday paused an order from U.S. District Judge Myong Joun in Boston, who issued a preliminary injunction reversing the layoffs and calling into question the broader plan. The layoffs “will likely cripple the department,” Joun wrote. A federal appeals court refused to put the order on hold while the administration appealed. The high court action enables the administration to resume work on winding down the department, one of Trump’s biggest campaign promises. In a post Monday night on his social media...
