The American Dream is slipping away and socialism is filling the gap

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Not long ago, the American Dream followed a familiar script. Graduate from school, find a job, buy a modest home, start a family, and gradually build a better life than the generation before you. For many young Americans today, that script increasingly feels like historical fiction. A recent survey from Rasmussen Reports reveals a striking generational divide: younger Americans are far more likely than older voters to view socialism favorably. According to the survey, 44 percent of voters under 40 believe socialism is a better system, compared with only 12 percent of older Americans. Recent election results in New York City confirm Rasmussen’s findings.  For Americans who grew up during the Cold War — or ...

Democratic Establishment Sounds Alarm Over Socialist Strategy Inside Party

By Steven Richards | Just the News What would Mike Dukakis say? Taking advantage of hating Trump, the Democratic Socialists of America have admitted implementing a long-term strategy to exploit the Democratic Party’s ballot access, alarming establishment figures and prompting pushback from more moderate members of the party. The Democratic Socialists of America have adopted a strategy to exploit the Democratic Party’s ballot access to boost their own candidates at the expense of incumbents, a plan which achieved remarkable success in New York City this week.  The victory of two DSA-backed candidates and one former member delivered a shock to the Democratic Party establishment, which has begun to call for better policing of the party’s primaries against candidates who...

Trump Maintains GOP Kingmaker Status as Mamdani Expands Influence in New York

By Ben Whedon | Just the News Mamdani’s wins seem to have established him as an increasingly potent force in shaping the direction of the Democratic Party moving forward while Trump’s merely reasserted his kingmaker status within the GOP. President Donald Trump’s last minute double endorsement of both candidates in the South Carolina Republican runoff helped him to avoid what would have been a crushing defeat on Tuesday evening. At the same time, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s preferred candidates managed to dominate their Democratic primaries and even oust prominent members of the conference. Mamdani’s wins seem to have established him as an increasingly potent force in shaping the direction of the Democratic Party moving forward while Trump’s merely reasserte...

Democratic Socialists of America Push Pro Maduro Protests as Ties to NYC Mayor Draw Scrutiny

By Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News The Democratic Socialists of America has long been closely-allied with the Maduro regime. Now, Maduro is sitting in a prison cell in a city presided over by a NYC mayor who is a member of the DSA. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which counts New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani as a key member, has been closely allied with Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro for years, and is now leading protests in the U.S. against the communist dictator’s arrest by the United States as Maduro sits in a NYC jail cell. The DSA International Committee’s website touts its “Venezuelan Solidarity” and its “Solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution!” — led by former Venezuelan socialist strongman Hugo Chavez and continue...

NYC Will Learn That Socialism Doesn’t Work

By Russ Minary | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples’ money.”  — British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher On Tuesday, November 4, Zohran Mamdani was elected as Mayor of New York City. Mamdani is only 34, has never held a real job and openly claims to be a socialist. His Muslim faith was a major part of his campaign. In a city with a lot of Jewish citizens, he won with a majority of votes in a 3-way race. His campaign consisted mainly of a nice smile and a promise to make just about everything ‘free.’ Free transportation, groceries, housing, healthcare and childcare. But he didn’t explain who was going to pay for all of the ‘free stuff.’  NYC is about to experience one of its biggest crises, un...

Meet Senator Iman Jodeh: Zohran Mamdani’s Radical Colorado Counterpart

By Ahnaf Kalam | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice New York City has inflicted Zohran Mamdani on itself—the socialist assemblyman who parlayed his anti-Israel bile and Islamist sympathies into the mayoralty, all while whining about "racist attacks" from those who dare call out his jihadist flirtations. Colorado, not to be outdone in this parade of self-destruction, has Iman Jodeh: our own state senator, the so-called "trailblazer" whose Palestinian fixation and alliances with terror cheerleaders make her a mirror image of Mamdani's radicalism.  Both peddle the same poison—elevating Hamas's "narrative" over facts, hobnobbing with antisemites, and stoking divisions that rot the body politic. Now, with Mamdani's win and the progressive purge of Aurora's city council—race-baiti...

Documents Show Activists Readying Hard Left Agenda For NYC

By Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News The Democratic Socialists of America helped deliver their fellow comrade, Zohran Mamdani, the NYC mayorship on Tuesday. Now, they have some demands, starting with policies about Israel. Aself-described “democratic socialist” will now govern New York City, capitalism's hub in America and the free world, and Just the News has obtained internal plans from the Democratic Socialists of America detailing how the NYC-DSA branch that Zohran Mamdani belongs to intends to pressure him to inject arguably extreme anti-Israel policies into the management -- and life -- of the Big Apple. Mamdani, who defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa on Tuesday, has been a longtime DSA member and leader, and he is listed&nbs...

Gingrich: Democrats abandon centrism for big government socialism

By Newt Gingrich | Commentary, Substack The big government socialist wing has become the dominant force in what used to be a much more centrist Democratic Party. This week Sen. Elizabeth Warren aggressively endorsed Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York and attacked former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Eric Adams. It’s clear where the energy and drive in the Democratic Party is. Of course, Mamdani’s win in the New York City mayoral Democratic primary was heralded by an astounding number of Democrats comfortable voting for explicit socialist Senator Bernie Sanders in his 2016 presidential campaign. Running against establishment favorite Hillary Clinton, the Vermont socialist received 43 percent of the vote. When 12 million Americans were willing to turn the White House over to an avow...
