Praising communism. Criticizing libraries for not having enough Marxist books. That's the controversy surrounding New York Democratic socialist congressional nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier after deleted social media posts resurfaced. Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram reports the posts have intensified scrutiny of the party's hard-left wing while prompting renewed debate...

🎥 Rep. Adriano Espaillat accused progressive challenger Darializa Avila Chevalier of “celebrating the death of innocent” Israelis in their election debate today, pointing to her attendance at the anti-genocide protests in NYC on October 8, 2023. 🔹New reporting from Drop Site News finds a surge of last-minute donations from major pro-Israel donors and millions in outside spending flowing to Rep. Espaillat’s campaign as he faces the Mamdani-backed democratic socialist in New York’s 13th Congressional District, which includes Harlem, East Harlem, Washington Heights and Inwood. 🔹 On a single day in June, Espaillat raised nearly $112,000 from 69 wealthy donors outside his district. Drop Site reports that 48 of those donors have also contributed significant sums to AIPAC since 2023, and most have also given to AIPAC-aligned organizations. 🔹 The spending comes amid a broader multimillion-dollar effort to boost Espaillat before the June 23 primary. Since early May, more than $3.3 million in outside spending has been deployed on his behalf, including over $2.5 million from the Super PAC BOLD America. 🔹 Drop Site reports that much of the funding behind the spending blitz may not be publicly disclosed until after the election because of federal reporting schedules. 🔹 The race has become a proxy battle over Israel and the future direction of the Democratic Party, with Avila Chevalier criticizing U.S. support for Israel’s war in Gaza and Espaillat declining to describe the assault as a genocide. Avila Chevalier responded by noting that 1,400 Palestinians had already been killed or wounded in Gaza by the time she attended the October 8 ceasefire rally. The full exchange ⬇️

🚨🧵 MAJOR BREAKING: German government has been grooming DSA leaders for over a decade, and nobody noticed? 🇩🇪 Last night, Darializa Avila Chevalier — endorsed by NYC-DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) — beat a five-term incumbent to win New York's 13th congressional district. Asra Nomani has been reporting on their ties to Cuba and the China/Singham network. But what’s not known is DSA’s deep ties to the German government. The Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (RLS) is the political foundation of Die Linke — the German parliamentary party formed from the merger of the Party of Democratic Socialism, itself the legal successor to East Germany's ruling Marxist party, the SED. Under German law, every party in the Bundestag gets a taxpayer-funded foundation. Die Linke's share is approximately EUR70MM annually. Most German party foundations sponsor conferences, publish research, and fund exchange programs. What RLS-NYC did was put its own staff inside DSA's organizational leadership — concurrently — for over a decade. In 2012, RLS opened a New York office. EIN 45-3658022. Their own annual report states: "With the help of funds from the BMZ and the Foreign Office, the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung maintains a network of international relationships. This includes financing its foreign offices." Over the last 13 years, Berlin has sent millions to this office. Despite these ties, no FARA registration for the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung was identified in the Department of Justice database. As always, patience as I pull together the thread.👇

This is how the DSA and Islam have taken over the Democrat Party....New York is Conquered! Mamdani-backed radicals just swept the NYC congressional primaries in a major victory for the socialist mayor’s machine. Darializa Avila Chevalier defeated five-term incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat in NY-13. She’s a co-founder of the radical CUAD group behind the violent Hamilton Hall takeover and has a long record of inflammatory posts, including calling the U.S. a “f—ing disgrace” and claiming “Israel doesn’t exist.” She stormed out of a radio interview when questioned about her past statements. See here for more info: Claire Valdez won in NY-7 after Mamdani endorsed her over the wishes of establishment Democrats and even retiring Rep. Nydia Velázquez. She supports seizing property from “bad landlords” and Mamdani’s radical housing agenda. Brad Lander won in NY-10 with Mamdani’s backing. He now openly calls for “resetting” America’s relationship with Israel and refuses to take money from AIPAC or corporate PACs. All three candidates ran on the same far-left platform: Labeling Israel’s actions in Gaza as “genocide” Demanding a full cut-off of U.S. arms to Israel Pushing to abolish ICE Advancing extreme socialist policies “DSA! DSA!” chants erupted at victory parties as Mamdani’s slate celebrated. But it didn’t stop at Congress. Aber Kawas, another Mamdani-backed candidate with deep ties to Muslim Brotherhood-linked networks, just won the Democratic primary for New York State Senate in Queens. She has appeared at rallies with Hamas headbands and has a record of defending convicted terrorists and financiers. See here for more info: This is not normal politics. This is the execution of a long-term strategy. In 1982, the Muslim Brotherhood created a secret document called “The Project” - a multi-generational plan to gradually Islamize the West. It calls for using the Palestinian cause as the central vehicle, building parallel societies that reject assimilation, forming alliances with Marxists (the Red-Green Axis), and refusing coexistence with Jews. See here to learn more: What we’re watching in New York is that plan in action. And what has the Republican Party done while this happens in real time? Nothing. They had every tool to stop Mamdani. They talked a BIG GAME but did NOTHING! New York is the blueprint. The rest of America is next. They have their winning formula down!

🚨ISLAMIC AND COMMUNIST TAKEOVER OF NEW YORK - THE MANDANI EFFECT Mamdani’s Red-Green Machine Claims Another Scalp: Darializa Avila Chevalier, Radical CUAD Co-Founder and Columbia Agitator, Ousts Longtime Incumbent in NY-13 Darializa Avila Chevalier, the polished Muslim DSA radical and co-founder of the antisemitic Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) group, has just won the Democratic primary for New York’s 13th Congressional District. In a stunning upset, the 32-year-old activist defeated five-term incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat, backed by the same Justice Democrats–DSA apparatus that installed Zohran Mamdani as mayor. With her victory now all but certain in the deep-blue district, another hardline voice of the red-green alliance is heading to Congress. Chevalier’s record is not that of a mainstream progressive. She helped co-found CUAD in 2016 alongside Mahmoud Khalil and Mohsen Mahdawi - the same group that openly celebrated “armed resistance,” posted “long live October 7th,” aligned with Samidoun (a PFLP-linked terrorist front), and turned Hamilton Hall into “Hind’s Hall” during the violent 2024 takeover that damaged property and held staff hostage. As a Columbia student she championed convicted terrorist Rasmea Odeh. As an alumna she was on the front lines of the Gaza encampments and helped organize protests demanding the release of Mahmoud Khalil after his ICE detention for Hamas support. She has spoken at the Imam Al-Khoei Islamic Center - a documented Iranian regime front and her deleted social media history is a treasure trove of calls to abolish police, prisons, ICE, and borders, seize the means of production, and label American veterans “child murderers.” This is the Mamdani playbook in action: weaponize campus radicalism, ride the “Free Palestine” wave, and install DSA candidates who view America’s borders, police, military, and alliance with Israel as the enemy. NY-13 was supposed to be safe for the establishment. Instead, voters handed it to a woman who has spent years demanding the dismantling of the very institutions that protect this country. The red-green alliance just took another seat at the table in Washington. New Yorkers in NY-13 chose this. The rest of America should be paying very close attention READ HERE:

My name is Naor Narkis. I am an opposition political candidate in Israel, a member of the Democrats party, currently running an active campaign to change the government. I am reaching out to you after my Facebook and Instagram accounts were both blocked 48 hours ago. These are not minor accounts. Together, they generate over 25 million views per month, making them among the most influential political voices on social media in a country of just under 10 million people. The suspension came just hours after Amit Segal, one of Israel's most powerful television journalists and broadcasters, known to be close to Prime Minister Netanyahu, publicly attacked my freedom of speech in a series of posts on X. He was joined by several journalists from major Israeli media outlets, all targeting my political activity and my campaign to change the government. His posts preceded the suspension of my accounts by just a few hours. At the very moment my campaign was at the center of Israeli public debate, my accounts on Facebook and Instagram were suspended. As of this moment, I have no access whatsoever to my accounts. Despite reaching out to official Meta employees in Israel, the issue remains unresolved. This is precisely the kind of intervention we have read about in 'Careless People' by Sarah Wynn-Williams, the ways in which powerful social media platforms have been used across different countries to interfere in democratic processes and tilt the balance of power in favor of autocratic and anti-democratic forces. At this moment, I am experiencing what I can only describe as political interference and the weaponization of the world's largest social network against free speech happening here, in Israel. In the coming hours, I will be taking legal action against this interference in Israel's democratic process by Meta. I call on international press freedom organizations, journalists, and media outlets around the world to cover and investigate this case. What is happening here is not just an Israeli story, it is a warning for every democracy in the world.

Democrats just nominated a woman for Congress named Daraliza Avila Chevalier. She openly hates America. She said in a social media post “I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me.” She calls America a "F**ing disgrace." She will be heading to Congress. She makes AOC look like a moderate. She defeated the incumbent Chair of the House Hispanic Caucus in Congress. Chevalier is an unemployed 32 year old who was recently rioting on behalf of the Hamas terrorist organization with pro-Hamas activist Mahmoud Khalil in the Columbia University encampment on the campus. She is a founder of CUAD (Columbia University Apartheid Divest), whose stated goal is the "Eradication of Western civilization" Chevalier says she wants to grant immediate citizenship and voting rights to all illegal aliens. She supports full blown Communism. Zohran Mamdani-endorsed Communist candidates won all across New York City. Three Mamdani endorsed candidates will be headed to Congress. One, Brad Lander, defeated the radical Left incumbent Democrat Congressman Dan Goldman because Goldman is Jewish and wasn't radical Left enough. Lander says he wants to abolish ICE, end border security, and expand the Supreme Court so Democrats can immediately pack the court with radical Left Justices. And, of course, Lander supports full-blown Communism, like Mamdani. Also heading to Congress is Claire Valdez (NY-7). She wants to grant citizenship and voting rights to all illegal aliens, use taxpayer funds for all transgender treatments, and eliminate private health insurance. In theory, the Islamic faith and much of the Democrat Party's stated agenda are at odds, especially the LGBTQ agenda and feminism. In Islamic countries (such as Iran, Afghanistan, Gaza) gays are thrown off rooftops or hung from cranes for all to see. Woman are not considered to be fully human, and are of less value than goats. Women who are accused of adultery can be stoned to death. But in America, Islam and today's Democrat Party are allies of convenience in the war on America and the war on Western Civilization. It's a "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" type of alliance. If and when the Islamists gain the majority, they will eliminate the LGBTQers, the feminists, and most Democrats. Obama and Biden imported millions of Islamists into America from Third World Hell holes like Somalia because Democrats see these people as votes for Democrats. In his run for mayor of NYC, Mamdani lost in a landslide among New Yorkers who were born in America, but won in a landslide among immigrants not born in America. If you live in New York City and are just a normal person, you need to get out now, just for your own safety. If you are a landlord or property owner, you need to sell your property now for whatever you can get, or Mamdani and the Communists who now run the city will just seize your property. If you are a business, you also need to get out -- and get out fast. Move to Florida, Texas, or Tennessee where there is no state income tax and criminals are not allowed to just roam the streets attacking people without consequence. John Fetterman should give serious consideration to becoming a Republican right now because he will not survive a Democrat primary challenge. This is what the Democrat Party has become. It's who they are. Even Nancy Pelosi is too mainstream for today's Democrat Party.

🚨 Only in New York: Calling Gang Tracking a First Amendment Violation A bellwether for what’s coming in New York is the fight over the NYPD Gang Database. Commissioner Tisch and law-and-order defenders see its preservation as a major victory. But even at last week’s New York City Council meeting, the database was being reframed as a free-speech violation. NYC Council Member Tiffany Cabán, who is also a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, used her remarks to portray the entire Gang Database as political persecution. She dismissed the work of the NYPD’s Social Media Analysis and Research Team (SMART) and ignored the role social media plays in documenting gang-related threats and violence. “Pictures on social media shouldn’t result in individuals getting imprisoned. So perhaps the Black and brown men who find themselves on gang databases based on social media posts shouldn’t be there or be arrested solely on that.” “We should have the First Amendment and a free press and make sure that we are not punished for political speech, which is happening right here in this city under a Trump administration.” Cabán collapses two unrelated issues, gang documentation and political speech, into the same narrative. But that only works if you pretend the Gang Database is a form of punishment. It isn’t. No one is arrested for being on it. It’s not a warrant or probable cause. It’s simply an intelligence tool that helps detectives track violent crews and anticipate retaliation, especially when conflicts are openly orchestrated on Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat. Her claim that “pictures on social media” are putting people in prison also doesn’t hold. Courts still require independent probable cause. Being listed in the database doesn’t trigger handcuffs; it gives officers situational awareness in neighborhoods where a few crews drive most of the violence. Her second claim, that the database “punishes” political speech, falls apart the same way. SMART isn’t criminalizing free speech. It tracks the online spaces where threats, beefs, and violent plans are posted in real time. Even critics concede that social media is now central to how crews recruit, organize, and escalate conflict. Why would police ignore the very platforms where gang conflicts are broadcast publicly? The alternative is policing with blindfolds on.

Many mocked the DSA when a video from their 2019 National Convention came out. The repeated and increasingly woke “points of personal privilege” looked ridiculous. What many missed at the time was that the Democratic Socialists of America had just entered a massive growth phase which has now made it the largest socialist organization in U.S. history. The organization grew from 6,000 members in 2015 to more than 120,000 today with a notable surge after Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign. The median age of members dropped sharply from 68 in 2013 to 33 in 2017 while AOC and Rashida Tlaib became the first DSA members in the House of Representatives in over a decade in 2018. After seeing a lull in growth during Biden’s term in office, the DSA now has winds in its sails again, especially after their member Zoran Mamdani was elected Mayor of New York City last year. It’s now practically certain that two democratic socialists will be heading to Congress from New York (Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier, both of whom won their 2026 Democratic primaries with strong Mamdani and DSA backing). DSA’s Melat Kiros can also be certain of reaching Congress after defeating a 30-year incumbent in her strongly blue district in Colorado. Meanwhile, Janeese Lewis George, a DSA member, is poised to become the next mayor of Washington, D.C. after a decisive primary win. What began as a niche organization with a few thousand mostly older members has transformed into a significant force in American left politics. Adam Milstein has just written an article in which he warns that a massive Trojan horse has been built inside the Democratic Party. He argues that DSA is the main vehicle of the red-green alliance in the USA. This cooperation between organisations with a far-left ideology and Islamist groups has also been growing in Europe in recent years. The two forces are building a joint platform on Third Worldism, socialism anti-Zionism to attack broader liberal democratic values. In America, the DSA is working on radicalizing the Democratic Party on issues such as public safety, criminal justice, borders, foreign affairs and Israel policy. Milstein warns that the DSA’s official platform (“Workers Deserve More”) reveals an underlying Marxist framework that seeks not mere reform but the dismantling of core American institutions: drafting a new constitution, creating a democratic socialist republic, nationalizing key sectors, eliminating private health insurance and policing as well as incarceration systems while pushing for open-border policies. The DSA has adopted a so-called “dirty break” strategy, based on using Democratic Party’s ballot line, resources and credibility as a temporary vehicle while building parallel structures to ultimately break away and transform or supplant the Democratic Party. Milstein warns that they could succeed if the Democrats don’t quickly counter the existential threat by a full institutional purge: - Stripping DSA-aligned officials of committee assignments and power - Cutting off campaign funding, resources, and institutional support - Denying the party ballot line to those pursuing the “dirty break” - Aggressively recruiting and funding mainstream primary challengers to unseat sitting DSA politicians. The argument is that continued accommodation only legitimizes a movement whose stated goal is the party’s eventual dissolution and that failing to act risks irreversible colonization of the Democratic Party.

Communist DSA meeting infiltrated and caught on camera by PolitiBrawl's Matt Miller in NY where radical communists are planning to go to war with not just Republicans, but with the Democrat Party, only using them as a vehicle to infiltrate our government. A closed-door Democratic Socialists of America gathering at the People's Forum headquarters was infiltrated, observing one participant who straight-up identified as a communist and dismissed more mainstream left figures like Hasan Piker as not being radical enough. These people are beyond brainwashed and dangerous. The People's Forum is a radical left hub funded by China-linked Marxist billionaire Neville Roy Singham, who has poured hundreds of millions into destabilizing the U.S. through activism. DSA candidates and media figures publicly deny being communists, but the group is functionally communist, just hiding it, as a key part of their strategy to slowly incorporate communism in America. DSA deliberately uses illegal immigrants called "compañeros," as undercover operatives and runs anti-ICE hotlines that dispatch protesters to disrupt federal immigration enforcement. The organization collaborates with and literally raises money for foreign communist regimes, explicitly Cuba and Venezuela. DSA is preparing for actual "war," class warfare against the Democratic Party establishment and the capitalist system while still using Democratic primary infrastructure and resources to win elections. These people are beyond bad news, even to their own party. Speakers hide their true socialist/communist identities for "safety," one formerly undocumented speaker admitted this. The meeting space was literally decorated with Cuban and Venezuelan flags, Bolshevik stars, Black Panther Party references, Assata Shakur imagery, Vladimir Lenin portraits, and books by Karl Marx and Claudia Jones. But they're not communists, they say... Attendees openly discussed recent "attacks" on the socialist movement, with explicit talk of being "ready for war" against the establishment while treating the Democratic Party as a temporary vehicle that only gives "crumbs." These people are organizing behind close doors and take this more serious than you think, and the most important part is that they are infiltrating our government every chance they get, and our unsecure elections are not helping to combat them. It's time to dismantle these groups and deport every single one of them.

🚨BREAKING: Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) just seized a massive power grab in Denver. In a stunning upset, 29-year-old radical Melat Kiros crushed 30-year establishment Democrat Diana DeGette in the primary for Colorado’s 1st Congressional District. She is now the Democratic nominee for Denver’s seat in the U.S. House, and in this deep-blue district, she’s almost certain to win in November. This isn’t just another primary. This is the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), America's largest Marxist organization, installing one of their own in Congress. RAIR has been warning about this exact infiltration for over a decade. Most Republicans still have no idea who the DSA even is or how systematically they’ve been taking over the Democratic Party from the inside. 🚨Who is Melat Kiros? 🔺A 29-year-old Ethiopian immigrant, former lawyer (fired for defending pro-Palestine protesters), PhD student, and proud DSA member. She openly calls herself a democratic socialist and ran on a platform of pure radicalism. 🔺Her agenda is a socialist wish list designed to destroy what’s left of America: 🔺 Medicare for All - full government takeover of healthcare, cancel all medical debt, and break up the entire industry. 🔺 Housing First - treat housing as a “right,” build massive social/government housing, federally subsidize developments, and treat homelessness as purely a public health issue (no consequences, just more taxpayer money). 🔺 Universal Childcare - government raising your kids from cradle to classroom. 🔺 Full Arms Embargo on Israel - including defensive weapons. She calls Gaza a “genocide” and “apartheid” and has described the October 7 massacre as the “inevitable consequence of apartheid.” 🔺 Abolish ICE - end interior immigration enforcement entirely. She says the agency was born of “fear and Islamophobia” post-9/11 and should be prosecuted and dismantled. Get big money out of politics… while refusing corporate PAC money herself but happily taking the full force of the radical left’s machine. She is backed by Bernie Sanders, Hasan Piker, the radical trans movement, Justice Democrats, Working Families Party, Denver DSA, and every far-left progressive force in America. This is the coalition that wants to finish off conservatives, Trump supporters, and the Republic as we know it. And they are organized. Listen to that! While most of the GOP was asleep or distracted, her campaign ran a massive ground game - door-knocking operations, phone banks, and an army of activists that turned out in force to knock off a 30-year incumbent. They brag about it. They are disciplined, funded, and relentless. This is a massive problem. These people are not fringe anymore. They are taking over city councils, state legislatures, and now congressional seats in deep-blue areas, and they will use every ounce of power to come after you, your values, your churches, your businesses, and your children. America, we must fight back at the LOCAL level. Mobilize your churches. Activate conservative groups. Get involved in school boards, city councils, county commissions, and state legislatures. The radicals are already there; we cannot afford to keep ceding ground. If you want to help RAIR take back your local communities from this Marxist takeover, join our movement - become activated on the local level - sign up here: Get involved! The fight is here. The fight is now. SEE OUR FULL REPORT HERE:

The age of the Democratic Party blocking fringe outsiders is officially over | David Marcus, Fox News There were two events on Tuesday that offered more proof of a national Democratic Party establishment that has lost control: One was a meeting, one an election, and both are harbingers of real danger on the American left. The meeting took place in Washington, D.C., between presumptive Maine Democratic Senate nominee, the Nazi tattoed, serial sexter Graham Platner and members of his party in that body. Some, mostly through wishcasting, thought this would be the end of the alleged oysters farmer’s run. Instead, it was a coronation, as was predicted in this column last week. A decade ago, one phone call from a party leader could have ended Platner’s run, but those days are gone. Today, the Democratic Socialists of America will no longer allow it. Here is what brave Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer had to say about the scandal-ridden candidate: "I met with Graham Platner today. We’re going to beat Susan Collins and take back the Senate." No, if, ands, or buts. This was echoed by almost every smiling Democrat leaving the meeting. There will be no last-minute coup to oust the socialist. Instead, the party is pretending to be one big happy family. That, as they say, is that, and the reason for it is clear. Schumer and grand poobahs of the party simply no longer have any leverage over the socialist candidates storming their keep. Platner doesn’t need establishment endorsements. He has Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and commie podcaster Hasan Pike. He doesn’t need establishment money, as there are progressive billionaires more than happy to donate. Even the left-leaning media, always in lockstep with the establishment, have little influence over voters these days. As in Maine, in New Jersey’s 12th congressional district, the Democratic Party elites were unable to fend off the radical Muslim (and socialist) candidate Adam Hamawy, who not only testified on behalf of the terrorist behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, but also volunteered for an Al Qaeda-linked group in Eastern Europe. At best here, the Democratic primary voters in the Garden State are trying to send a terrorist sympathizer to the halls of Congress. At worst, he is just a flat-out terrorist. At his point, Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who has been sounding the alarm about the craziness overtaking his party, isn’t just on an island. He’s on a whole different planet. Put bluntly, the far-left socialist extremists, with their Nazi and radical Islamic ties, are outflanking, often outspending, and absolutely outperforming the terrified geriatric leadership of the party. It’s become such a party of lunatics that, among the only partial wins the establishment notched Tuesday, in the primary to replace former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in California’s 11th district, was a weak first place finish for Scott Wiener, himself a leftist lunatic, now headed to a runoff. Wiener thinks that putting people on sex offender lists after sexual crimes is somehow anti-gay and would trans your toddler at the drop of a hat. But among his opponents was the former chief of staff for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Democratic Socialists of America star Saikat Chakrabarti, who finished in third, failing to make the runoff. Even this seeming victory is hollow, though. Pelosi endorsed Wiener just two years after she wielded the power to tell then-President Joe Biden that his career was over. Today, she can’t get the candidate she endorsed in her own district over 50%. This realignment of Democratic Party power, away from the old-school, Ivy League establishment, into the hands of the socialists, the radical Muslims and the guys with Nazi tats, will have profound implications for the 2028 presidential race. In the last two competitive Democratic Party primary cycles, 2016 and 2020, Bernie Sanders was iced out by party leadership. Remember how, in 2020, after Biden’s surprise win in South Carolina, all the non-socialist candidates suddenly dropped out? That is how it used to work. A decade ago, the Republican Party was overtaken by Donald Trump, and the GOP establishment was left like Wile E. Coyote frantically running in the air, unaware it was already over the cliff. But Trump was part of something much bigger. In fact, he had been a member of the Reform Party, founded by H. Ross Perot in his historic 1992 third-party run and later championed by Pat Buchanan. This was a long-running populist ascendency. Today, it is the Democratic Party establishment losing touch and losing power, seeing their neoliberalism fade next to leftist populism, a populism of wealth redistribution, antisemitism and, to quote Trump, "Trans for everybody." Biden was fond of saying that today’s GOP is not "the Republican Party of your grandfather." Well, I have some news for you, Grandpa Joe: The socialist Democratic Party you left behind and the socialist barbarians you have left at the gates, don’t look a whole lot like the party that made Bill Clinton president, either. And likely, it never will again.

Kisumu Journalist’s Home Raided by Estranged Partner’s Family in Shocking Incident A recent dramatic incident that took place at a residential home in Kisumu has stirred widespread discussion among local residents and on social media, as conflicting narratives continue to emerge over the reported break-in and removal of property from the premises. The parties at the centre of the dispute include a well-known journalist based in Kisumu, Odongo Otieno, and his estranged partner, Sally Njoki, whose mother Pastor Maureen Lihanda is a prominent religious leader in the region. According to reports and CCTV footage circulating online, Pastor Maureen, accompanied by her daughter and a group of associates, allegedly forced their way into the journalist’s home and removed various household items, sparking widespread debate on social media. However, Pastor Maureen has been very vocal on social media since the story began circulating, insisting that the narrative being shared does not capture the full picture. She maintains that her son-in-law, the journalist, was present during the incident and has challenged various claims made against her family. In several posts, Pastor Maureen described the journalist as someone with a troubled past, alleging that he is “a betting addict who cannot even pay rent or buy food,” and accused him of sending her numerous messages and video calls. She further claimed that he is trying to “reap where he did not sow,” and dismissed several allegations made against her family as untrue. Odongo Otieno is a well-known journalist based in Kisumu who works for a prominent national media house. Beyond his media career, he has previously ventured into local politics, having contested for a position as a Member of County Assembly (MCA) in Nyalenda Ward, Kisumu. Authorities have since launched investigations into the incident, seeking to establish the full circumstances surrounding the break-in and removal of property.

Joe Biden has just announced he’s not running for re-election and will support Vice President Kamala Harris’s candidacy instead. The announcement came as a shock to the people who work at the White House and to campaign aides, one of whom told Politico, "We’re all finding out by tweet. None of us understand what’s happening.” The same was true in Delaware, Biden’s home state. “I don’t think a soul in Delaware knew,” said a Biden campaign official. As such, this is the third time in three presidential elections that Democratic Party elites have subverted democracy to choose a presidential candidate. The first time this occurred was in 2016 when the Democratic National Committee manipulated money and process to help Hillary Clinton defeat Bernie Sanders. The second time was in 2020, when Party elites pushed out Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar so Elizabeth Warren could split the progressive vote with Sanders, creating a path to victory for Biden. This year, Biden and the DNC prevented a competitive open primary, and now Biden is deciding who will be the nominee for Democrats. Harris was deeply unpopular with Democratic voters when she ran in the 2020 primary, leading her to drop out after her polling plummeted to the single digits. It’s true that the Democratic elites followed the formal rules, most Democrats agreed that Biden should not run again, and a Democrat could still challenge Kamala Harris at the convention. But the party undermined the spirit of democracy in every election. Democracy, at its core, is about letting the people decide for themselves. That simply didn’t happen. In fact, a very small number of Democratic Party donors and media elites chose Hillary Clinton, Biden, and Harris. In many ways it was the media who influenced donors and decided Biden should go after his disastrous debate performance. To the extent that ordinary Democratic Party voters turned against Biden it was in response to the media turning on him. When the media insisted that Biden was fine, and that the worries about his health were just right-wing propaganda, Democratic voters were loyal to him. While it’s true someone could challenge Harris for the nomination, it’s very hard to see that happening, given Biden’s endorsement and the argument from Kamala Harris supporters that it would be borderline racist for anyone else to win the nomination. Within a few hours, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Senator Tammy Baldwin, and Democratic mega-donor Reid Hoffman all endorsed Harris. Other Party elites will likely do the same. Over the last three weeks, Biden fought Democratic donors, media elites, and Party leaders. He insisted repeatedly he could do the job. But, in the end, they overwhelmed him. They withheld funding. They attacked almost every day, letting up for just 24 hours after the near-assassination of former President Trump. As a result, nobody could watch the events of the last few weeks and believe that the Democratic Party is democratic. It is a party controlled by the media, donors, and the deep state. However one feels about the GOP, the same can’t be said of Republicans. Republican voters rejected their own party leaders, donors, and the foreign policy establishment to nominate Trump for president in 2016. Democrats, by contrast, sided with the establishment candidate in choosing Clinton in 2016 and Biden in 2020. Why is that? Why did Democrats become the party controlled by elites and obedient to authority, and Republicans the party of rebellion and, increasingly, the working class?

Bill Maher’s audience audibly gasps when he reads what the Democratic Socialists of America are actually saying out loud: MAHER: “Trump has told 1 trillion lies, but when he says the DSA are actually COMMUNISTS, that’s not one of them.” “And it’s not hard to prove it just by quoting the DSA and their candidates.” “J.D. Vance was on the show, and I told him that if the Democratic Party keeps going in the direction of the DSA, my vote was in play. And all I heard all vacation was, ‘Oh, my God, you’re a Republican now.’ No, that's not what I said. I said in play, and here’s why.” “Because not a week goes by where I don’t read about some newly chosen, exciting new face in the Democratic Party. And then when that face opens its mouth, the Communist Manifesto or some other crazy shit comes out! Again.” “Let’s just read the quotes. The DSA platform says: ‘You work as much as you are able and no more than needed.’ If that was any closer to Karl Marx’s dictum, from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs, they’d be sued for plagiarism.” “New York Mayor Mamdani once tweeted, Karl Marx’s words exactly. They’re not trying to hide it. Their most popular influencer, Hasan Piker, thinks communism is so groovy, he laments the fall of two of the most murderous regimes in history, the Soviet Union and Chairman Mao's China.” “Mamdani's aide, his top aide, Cea Weaver, said, ‘If you don't believe in the government's sacred right to seize property, it's over.’ And ‘impoverish the white middle class.’ What? That's a goal? You know you're supposed to scare people into voting for you, right?” “One of the new, soon-to-be Democratic congresspeople, Darlesia Chavalier, supports seizing all properties from landlords and said, ‘Seize the means of production.’ Mamdani has said ‘The end goal is seizing the means of production.’ I think they want to seize the means of production.” “Now, maybe you missed that in school or missed school altogether, but THAT'S COMMUNISM.” “Now the coalition within the DSA called the Marxist Unity Group is in ascendance. And I must take them at their word. When their words include, ‘Our commitment is to the long-term struggle for a fully liberated classless society. In a word, communism.’” “What do they have to do, tweet out ‘Elect more communists’? Oh, yeah, Cea Weaver did that.” [Shows tweet, audience audibly gasps] “Yes, [she really did that]! ... People gotta realize this is going on.”
