(Warren Beatty) “Useful idiot” is a pejorative term for a person who propagandizes for a cause without fully understanding (due to naïveté, stupidity, or on purpose) the cause’s goals, who is cynically used by the cause’s founders. It is used to describe otherwise sensible people who become, due to misrepresentations or outright lies, susceptible to Marxist/communist/socialist propaganda and manipulation.

Figures Don’t Lie, But Liars Figure: Unemployment Figures Dramatically Favor Republican-Led States
(Ned Barnett) August’s unemployment figures, just released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, paint a remarkably consistent picture that correlates – almost uncannily – between low unemployment rates in states led by Republican governors and high unemployment rates in states led by Democratic governors. Drawing national conclusions from the unemployment statistics for all fifty states, those Republican-led states that have tried to follow President Trump’s lead in reopening America are doing much better in terms of unemployment than are states likely to support Biden in November. Former Vice President Biden, while repeatedly complaining about President Trump’s actions in fighting COVID, has yet to articulate a coherent COVID policy.
I Went To A Socially Distanced Drive-In Rave, And It Was A Depressing Dystopian Nightmare
(Tristan Justice) For all its flaws, it was the penetrating reminder that things aren’t normal, and won’t be for quite some time that was the worst.
By Their Own Criteria, Democrats Are The Ones Undermining American Democracy
(Carina Benton) The Democratic Party’s policies and tactics since Trump’s 2016 nomination are, almost to a letter, right out of leftist Harvard professors’ litmus test for detecting assaults on democracy.
Opinion: Supporting Donald Trump Might Be the Most Punk Thing You Can Do in 2020
(Ryan DeLarme) We privileged citizens of the western world tend to overlook one another’s character and rely more on our preconceived notions, making judgments based on appearance, lifestyle, even the music each other listen to. You might see a gal rocking a shaved head or a dude with purple hair and think to yourself “Oh they look alternative, they MUST be a liberal”. This may be true for most young folks attaching themselves to things they don’t fully understand, but you might be surprised what some of the actual punk rock pioneers have to say about modern politics.
The ‘Black Problem’ in Television
(Parker Beauregard) It was recently reported that Patrissa Cullors, a founding woman of Black Lives Matter, was signed by Warner Brothers to a multiyear deal across all of its programming platforms that “encompasses scripted and unscripted series, longform series, animated and kids programming, as well as digital content.”
Living Without Justice
(Deana Chadwell) Justice may well be the very first inkling of moral law that blossoms in the human soul. Siblings at a very young age are quick to note discrepancies in parental approbation, quick to recognize any inconsistencies in rewards and punishments, quick to imagine any injustice. As I write this I’m remembering my youngest granddaughter at a mere 18 months of age, tearfully objecting to her sister enjoying a lollypop — “Julia lolly!” Her sister had saved hers from the night before; Violet had wolfed hers down, so she had no case to prosecute, but she certainly thought she did; her moral conviction was strong.
What Happened to the Riots?
(Rick Fuentes) The riots of 2020 are the battlefront of a movement hatched from an alternative history built upon an abstruse foundation of systemic racism and white privilege. In early summer, they created an apocalyptic spectacle of 23 American cities in flames, burned-out cars, shattered storefronts, unchecked looting, and occupied neighborhoods. Then events then took a curious turn.
The Revolution the US is Experiencing – and What if it Succeeds
(Ron Lipsman) It may be difficult to admit that a full-scale revolution is brewing in the United States of America. While there are no guerilla bands pouring out of the mountains to attack towns or cities or government installations, recent violence by armed revolutionaries against US courthouses may be a harbinger of things to come. While there are no formal press briefings or published manifestos in which the revolutionaries explain why the current system is rotten and why their proposed new system will herald peace and justice, the utterances and proposals of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and, indeed, of virtually all of the radical left Democratic presidential candidates – as well as those of almost all Democratic Congresspersons and senators, and many radical Democratic city mayors – would seem to qualify.
The Biden Crisis
(J. Robert Smith) If you want to know why early voting stinks, the burgeoning Biden crisis should inform you. Estimates are that about 50 million Americans have voted, as of this writing. That’s before or as the gravest scandal in the history of presidential politics unfolds.
Why the Democrat Platform Is Boring on Purpose
(E. Jeffrey Ludwig) The Democrat Party Platform, released for public scrutiny on July 27, reads like the late-night, tired comments of a teacher of economics reviewing existing legislation and possible improvements as he prepares for a lecture. The document lacks verve, originality, and wisdom.
MUST SEE: Young American Woman Explains It All In Less Than One Minute: The Reason Why We Are Voting for Trump is “We Can’t Stand You!”
(Joe Hoft) A young woman explained everything about this election in less than one minute.
Defending Trump from a Tornado of Liberal Lie
(Janice Shaw Crouse) The fog of lies clouding the current political climate has all but completely hidden the truth. Let’s clear some things up so the American public can see what’s going on. Here are just a few of the major lies and the issues that have been wildly distorted.
The Biden Corruption Scandal Isn’t About Hunter, It’s About Joe
(Margot Cleveland) The Hunter Biden scandal indicates that Joe Biden, while vice president of the United States, knowingly allowed his son to sell access to the Obama administration, then lied about it.
James Comey and Robert Mueller have Massive Clinton Foundation Problems
(Charles Ortel) James Comey is not an effective liar. He fooled only the gullible last week with his evasive testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Previously, Robert Mueller was also not effective deterring the Trump Administration from uncovering significant, far-reaching crimes that the former F.B.I. Director “missed” from September 2001 through September 2013.
