For far too long Establishment Democrats have had the luxury of winning by default. That time must come to an end. There is no room on the Left for Centrists, for bought and paid for shills, for the DINO corrupters of our Democracy than there is for anyone on the Right or MAGA itself.

No, my dear Leftists neighbors, friends, and family, we do not need a new party for the Left, we just need to w**d the Right out of it. If these Independents are so damn many, then let them run as the Independents they are, not as Democrats! That is the message we must send not only in 2026 but beyond, and not only in those primary elections to come but in the general elections that follow.

No, we will not vote Blue no matter who! No, we will not court Moderates and Rightwingers out of some misconceived notion that they are needed in order to win elections. No, we will no longer compromise our Leftist Ideals for any reason whatsoever. What we will do--what we must do--is revive the Democratic Party and therefore the Left and all those disenfranchised Leftist voters that come with it by only allowing true
Leftists to win under the banner of the Democratic Party.

That is how the Left lives on. That is how we defeat the Right. That is how we get our party and our country back.

Matthew 25:31-46

The Sheep and the Goats

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

The Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act and The Traitorous Democrats Who Support It

The Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act (H.R. 4795) is a newly passed piece of federal legislation designed to penalize American colleges and universities that participate in the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement targeting Israel

The bill seeks to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to create severe financial consequences for institutions that engage in anti-Israel commercial or academic boycotts.

It is a newly passed piece of federal legislation in the House designed to penalize American colleges and universities that participate in the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement targeting Israel. Sponsored by representatives Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) and Virginia Foxx (R-NC), the bill passed the U.S. House of Representatives on September 3, 2026, with a bipartisan vote of 237–169.
The bill seeks to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to create severe financial consequences for institutions that engage in anti-Israel commercial or academic boycotts.

The legislation targets university eligibility for key streams of federal funding based on two distinct requirements:

Ban on Commercial Boycotts (Title IV Funding): It prohibits institutions of higher education from engaging in "non-expressive commercial boycotts" of Israel. This is defined as any commercial restriction—such as refusing to deal with or terminating business activities with Israeli entities—that is not backed by a valid business reason. Schools found in violation risk losing their eligibility for federal⁸ student aid programs, which include Pell Grants and federal student loans.

Academic Reciprocity Mandate (Title VI Funding): Schools receiving or applying for Title VI federal funds (which support international education and foreign language programs) must provide an annual certification by July 31. They must certify that their students and faculty are allowed to participate in academic programs in Israel (e.g., study abroad, research partnerships, conferences) on equal terms with other foreign countries. Additionally, they must ensure Israeli students and faculty are permitted to participate in their own campus programs equally. Missing the deadline or failing to comply strips the school of all Title VI funds for the following fiscal year.

Supporters claim it protects Jewish students, faculty, and staff from antisemitic discrimination, that it safeguards academic partnerships, study abroad options, and joint research ventures, and ensures U.S. taxpayer dollars are not weaponized to isolate a strategic international ally.

Critics believe it represents a direct attack on campus free speech and peaceful political expression, that it uses the threat of federal funding loss to stifle legitimate student activism and dissent, and forces universities to penalize boycotts directed at Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

The following thirty three traitorous Democrats broke from the party to vote with Republicans for bill,

Fascism defined and the similarities to Trumpism.

What key factors represent a fascist administration?

Cult of Action and Rejection of Modernity:
A distrust of intellectualism, complex systems, and traditional democratic norms in favor of direct, decisive action.

​Fixation on National Decline and Victimhood:
Framing the nation as under siege by internal and external enemies who are corrupting its identity.

​Scapegoating and In-Group vs. Out-Group Dynamics: Defining national identity through exclusion, portraying minorities, immigrants, or political opponents as existential threats.

​Cult of Personality: Unquestioning loyalty to a single strongman figure who claims to uniquely represent the true will of the people.

​Contempt for Democratic Institutions:
Undermining free press, independent courts, and electoral integrity, often viewing constitutional constraints as obstacles to national greatness.

​Glorification of Political Violence:
Framing political struggle as zero-sum combat where rhetoric or physical force against opponents is justified.

​Points of Similarity with the Trump Movement and Administration:

​1. Rhetoric of National Rebirth and Decline:
​Trump’s foundational slogan, "Make America Great Again," fits the classic palingenetic framework: asserting that a once-great nation has fallen into ruin due to corrupt elites, foreign competitors, and cultural decay, and that only he can restore it. His speeches often depict American cities as crime-ridden and institutions as fundamentally broken.

​2. Cult of Personality and Anti-Institutionalism:
​A defining characteristic of the Trump movement is the central role of personal loyalty to Trump above traditional party platforms or democratic norms. Trump has frequently challenged the legitimacy of independent checks on executive power, including the judiciary, intelligence agencies, the Department of Justice, and mainstream media outlets (which he famously labeled the "enemy of the people").

​3. Scapegoating and Dehumanizing Language:
​Fascist movements rely heavily on creating clear "in-groups" (the authentic public) and "out-groups" (foreigners, minorities, political dissidents). Critics highlight Trump's use of language regarding immigrants (e.g., describing undocumented immigrants as "poisoning the blood of our country") and political opponents (describing them as "vermin" or the "enemy from within") as echoing historic fascist rhetoric designed to strip opponents of political legitimacy.

​4. Challenges to Democratic Elections and Toleration of Violence:
​The events surrounding the 2020 election—specifically false claims of systemic fraud, efforts to overturn certified election results, and the January 6 Capitol attack—are cited by historians as the clearest structural parallel to authoritarian tactics. Scholars point to Trump’s rhetoric excusing or praising individuals involved in political violence as breaking with modern democratic traditions.

Though Trumpism doesn't check every box to be considered a fascist regime it's similarities are undeniable. Without a doubt, he and his Administration has taken large steps towards such a state. If left unchecked, the harm that will be done to our nation will increase exponentially. So, let's make sure in November we get out there and vote to prevent the advancement of a fascist nation and the further decay of our Democracy. The future for your children and grandchildren is in your hands my friends, let's not muck it up.

Even though I am not a Harris supporter this poll says a lot about which direction this country is heading. Trump seriously screwed the pooch for the Republican party. They have quite literally become a dying breed.
