Nothing says commitment to reform like heads on pikes. Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has attracted national attention with his violent rhetoric about “choking out” opponents and his campaigning with virulent anti-Semites like Hasan Piker. However, his comment about hoisting opponents’ heads like an “ogre on a pike” was raised during last night’s debate with Rep. Haley Stevens (D., MI.). He assured voters that he was really referring to the head of Sen. John Fetterman (D., PA.) in defending his remark. Somehow, alluding to the beheading of a staunch defender of Israel was presented as far more reasonable than mass beheadings. That is what passes for a moderate in this age of rage.
Previously, El-Sayed declared, “Ideally, you put one ogre on a pike, and then everyone else gets the message.” That comment was widely interpreted as referring to Stevens, and he was pushed to reaffirm it with Stevens standing right next to him on the stage. That was not a good look, and El-Sayed offered his pike pivot.
He insisted, “I was referring to a guy named John Fetterman,” who El-Sayed suggested was elected as a liberal candidate before “completely throwing those values in the mud.”
So it will be Fetterman’s head, and everyone can calm down.
There is, of course, violent rhetoric on both sides of the aisle. When Steven Bannon spoke of putting the heads of Dr. Anthony Fauci and then FBI Director Christopher Wray, he was suspended on X.
However, there is an increasing level of violent rhetoric coming from the left and an increasing level of political violence.
It was a scene that has recurred throughout history, as establishment leaders are overtaken by the very mobs they sought to use for their own purposes. Of course, the pike was the enduring symbol of the Jacobins during “the Terror” of the French Revolution. It is now an image being picked up, with the guillotine, by the New Jacobins.
In my book Rage and the Republic, I discuss how these Democratic leaders are following the same self-destructive pattern of prior establishment figures in history who thought that they could use mobs against their opponents while hoping that they would be overlooked.
For years, Jeffries has joined other Democrats in fueling the rage on the left in the hopes of becoming the next House Speaker. Whether calling for supporters to “fight in the streets,” denouncing the Supreme Court as “illegitimate” or posting an image of himself brandishing a baseball bat, Jeffries sought to portray himself as a class warrior worthy of the mob’s support.
Other Democratic leaders followed suit — especially Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. It was Schumer who yelled threats at conservative Supreme Court justices in front of the court. A deranged man triggered by such rhetoric in the media later attempted to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Schumer and others portrayed their opponents as Nazis who threaten the very existence of democracy, and they stoked class conflict to inspire resentment for the wealthy.
Former Democratic National Committee deputy chair Keith Ellison — now Minnesota’s attorney general — celebrated that Antifa would “strike fear in the heart” of Trump and his supporters.
Pandering to the mob will not help. These establishment figures, including Hakeem Jeffries, are already being targeted by the rising DSA movement. Likewise, Buttigieg, Khanna, and others hope that they can offer up the Supreme Court to the radicals to prove their bona fides. It will not work. The posturing as class warriors will not satisfy these extremists for long, as many clamor for radical changes, including trashing the Constitution and our core institutions.
The Michigan primary is an example of how the mob gravitates to the most extreme figures in a race to the bottom. El-Sayed is the rock bottom of rage.
N.B.: The initial draft of blog referenced Fetterman as Jewish, which was corrected shortly after the posting. He has never listed a religious preference. I apologize for the error.
Turley consistently portrays Democrats as being antisemitic and the Republicans as being pro-Jewish though that’s not what the evidence shows. Why would now be any different. There are several examples of heads on pikes in American history. After the 1811 German Coast uprising, Black heads were displayed for 40 miles along the Mississippi River, after the disrupted revolt in Richmond led by Gabriel Prosser, heads were placed on pikes. Native Americans were displayed that way during the Pequot War. New England colonists offered bounties for scalps and heads of Indians. I did find an example of the English pirate Blackbeard having his head cut off and hung from the bowsprit of his ship off the coast of North Carolina.
Did anyone else notice that all of Enigma’s examples are at least 225 years old?
To say that Democrats aren’t anti-Semitic is so pathetically and provably false as to be laughable. When you say 2 + 2 is 5 it makes it hard to debate with you.
The Dems have a problem because the Muslims hate gays, gays have a decent proportion of Jewish members, Muslims hate Jews too. The radical left is made up of a high proportion of women and guess what, Muslims don’t treat women as equals. Now commies, the left’s Muslim’s partners, hate rich people, i.e. donors, and they are going broke. Let’s see how the party keeps these disparate groups in line a, for example, when the Muslim majority city council banned the Pride flag. HA, HA.
But not to worry, Enigma tells us it is Republicans that are Jew haters and not Mamdani, Omar, Tlaib, Sayed, Piker, the new congresswoman in Denver etc etc etc.
Did you notice the photo Turley used? How old was that? I didn’t make the claim that no Democrats are anti-Semitic, I will say that Republican attempts to portray themselves as pro-Jewish is ridiculous.

“Republican Israel supporters suffer from a brain virus.” –Tucker Carlson

First of all Nick Fuentes and Tucker are NOT Republicans. Secondly, saying you want a Jewish guy counting your money is a stupidly backward compliment by Trump. It isn’t as if he said Israel is committing genocide like your teams says.
You state that you never said that “no Democrats are anti-Semitic” but that isn’t really convincing when the new base of your party is made up of Jew haters, including the Jew himself Bernie. Of course you never said there are no Dems that hate Jews, that is a moronic straw man argument. Your team is running against AIPAC, which is a Jewish lobbying group, NOT ISRAEL, and yet no mentions of CAIR? Why is that?
Would you rather walk through a Republican rally wearing a Palestinian scarf or walk through a Democrat party rally wearing a Star of David? Rather walk through Columbia, Harvard, Yale or any other IVY wearing a Yarmulke or a Pal flag? I am sure that you hate Israel all while you claim that isn’t hating Jews.
The place I’d fear walking most is in a Trump rally wearing anything, including a MAGA hat. It’s true Fuentes isn’t a Republican, he simply dines with them at Mar-a-Lago, Carlos at least was a Republican thought leader, until his real thoughts were exposed in the Dominion discovery.
You tell me I hate Israel when I’ve never said a word against them. I dislike some things Israel has done which isn’t the same thing except in your mind. I’m not pro-Palestinian either, just anti mass murder.
“The place I’d fear walking most is in a Trump rally ”
This was the 2nd image of a Trump rally google found. Less than 50% of those in the image are white.
75% of the rows immediately behind trump appear to be black the remainder are not white.
https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2024-06/7f4cfc20-358c-11ef-bf1c-416027ab6127
“It’s true Fuentes isn’t a Republican, he simply dines with them at Mar-a-Lago,”
I have no idea what he is – what his is NOT is significant.
Kanye West invited him to Mar-A-Lago – not Trump.
” Carlos at least was a Republican thought leader, until his real thoughts were exposed in the Dominion discovery.”
What in the world are you talking about ? I am guessing you are talking about election lawsuits.
Fox settled too soon – The lawsuit against Mike Lindell was dropped – because more recent revelations supported Lindells claims and Smartmatic was terrified of discovery.
It is highly likely that the CEO is not the only person to have bragged privately that they would assure Trump lost.
While there is no evidence that Any of the vendors of election equipment dis anything intentionally to rig elections – even though the left claimed that in 2004 and there is even a TV series that revolves arround that. It has been proven to be absolutely true that their systems are incredibly insecure, have been hacked by the russians, can be hacked in less than 2 minutes by novice hackers, and were used to rig venezuelan elections. And worse that they have known about myriads of vulnerabilities for decades and done nothing, and that election officials knew about them too.
“You tell me I hate Israel”
I have no idea whether you hate israel. Nor do I care much.
What is at issue is reality – whether it is blacks or jews or christian racial and religious discrimination is rising rapidly on the left and declining on the right.
There are counter examples – but the trends are pronounced.
If american is becoming MORE anti-semetic that is on the left.
If it is becoming more racist against blacks – that is the “soft bigotry of low expectations” from the left.
“I’m not pro-Palestinian either, just anti mass murder.”
Not sure what that means.
Regardless, the largest recent mass murder was the 52K of their own people the Iranians murdered.
Whatever criticism you have of Israel any claim of Genocide confirms an absence of IQ points.
Israel fought an urban war against a genocidal group that killed raped, mained burned 1000 jews in one day. A groupd that used women and children as sheilds, and used hospitals and mosques as military and weapons bases, and had significantly less civilian casualties than the US in Afghanistan or Iraq.
No country in the world is better at conducting urban warfare while minimizing civilian casualties than Israel.
With respect to Palestinians – the West bank managed to remain at peace through all of this.
While there are still issues there – this is a Gaza/Hamas problem.
Re: “While there are still issues there – this is a Gaza/Hamas problem.” Well writ! However, to the AWFL’s and low information voters whose days begin and end with the comings and goings of Taylor Swift, and whose command of history is limited to where she was married and how many attended, that’s a hard sell.
That picture that the Professor used is of an event in the aftermath of the Storming of the Bastille in 1789, during the early days of the French Revolution, when the leftist revolutionary mob beheaded two of the officers of the Bastille who had been captured and then paraded their heads on pikes through the streets of Paris. Far more representative of the views and desires of the current-day Left in the U.S. than of anyone else.
Instead of a photo from another country, how about something representative of America.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Memorial_at_Whitney_Plantation.jpg
So your idea of representative is an artists memorial of participants in a slave revolt that happened almost 50 years before photography ?
It is entirely possible the event depicted was heinous but we have little to show, regardles the times were heinous.
Largest slave revolts in history.
Spartacus Slave Revolt – thousands of White slaves were massacred by white romans.
La Amistad, there were 450 documented revolts on slave ships – the Amistad was brought to New York where the US supreme court decided the Slaves were free.
John Brown’s Raid – mostly white men raiding a federal armory unsrprisingly did not go well for John Brown.
Nat Turner’s Rebellion
Haitian Revolution – the slaves in Haiti won against Napolean and Haiti is still a $hithole country. The Dominican republic – same people, same island has a standard of living 4 times higher today.
New York Slave Revolt – 21 slaves revolted killed 9 people and were captured and killed. BTW that patter is close to a Norm – slaves revolt, kill a bunch of others, Get caught and all the revolting slaves are killed.
Cherokee Nation Slave Revolt – black slaves revolting against their Cherokee owners and getting killed.
. Zanj Rebellion, – 500,000 african slaves revolt in Iraq and thousands killed on all sides.
. Warsaw Uprising, – Germans kill over 200,000 jews that try to revolt.
. Stono Rebellion, 21 whites and 44 blacks killed.
No one is defending slavery – but it is ancient.
The above is probably not even close to representative.
In the US 3/4 of a million white people died in the fight to end slavery.
While no european nation had slaves IN EUROPE in the 18th and 19th centuries – there were only about 500 blacks in England in 1800
Nearly all major european nations had slaves in their western hemisphere colonies. Just over 1% of the transatlantic slave trade was to the North american colonies.
16 times as many slaves went to the caribean as the US american colonies. And 4 times that went to south and central america, and 30% more African slaves went to the Mideast as went to the western hemisphere.
The Vikings engaged in the slave trade – Raiding the British Ilses and Europe and enslaving white people and selling them in the mideast.
By far the worst slavery in history was in the mideast and continued through the 19th century.
Of the approximately 4400 people who were lynched int he US – 1/3 were white.
Nearly as many people died on one day from a single act of terrorism 9/11 as blacks were lynched in the US over more than 2 centuries.
More Union soldiers died in a single steam boat accident returning home on the Mississippi that blacks who were lynched.
Slavery has always been wrong – it is a violation of free will. But evil has been with us always. Blacks are not the only people ever enslaved nor even the most frequently enslaved people.
Worse still blacks were universally enslaved by blacks. No causcasion lasted more than 2 weeks more than a mile from the coast in Africa until late in the 19th century.
The world is full of examples of barbarism. just a few decades ago the Huthi in Rwanda masscred 800,000 Tutsi in about 90 days – most killed by machette.
Pol Pot killed atleast 2M cambodians in the Killing fields – during my lifetime. The Chinese are committing actual genocide and real slavery against the Uighurs today.
Che Guevera presided over numerous brutal executions. The Ortegas in Nicaragua exterminated about 80,000 natives.
For most of human existance life has been “nasty, brutish and short” (Hobbs). Long before and after slavery ended in the US – myriads of Irish lived in conditions indistinguishable from slavery in the US – they were bonded to the land – if the land was sold – they went with it, They could not leave, the land owner could kill them and face no consequences. The lived in abject poverty, and because they were bonded to the land – they had no value so killing them, starving them or working them todeath was not nearly as financially harmful as killing a slave.
Later 19th century russian peasants were little better off. Nor were ostensibly free people in France
You have this fixation on a tiny part of history and then you distort and often lie about that tiny portion.
My childrens lives will be much less brutal than my own – mine is less than my fathers, and his less than his fathers.
You only have to go a few generations back to get Heinous conditions for nearly everyone.
In London in the 1500’s you had a 1 in 3 chance of living to the end of an indenture in the new world – and indentured servants were treated worse than slaves.
But if yoiu stayed in london you would likely be dead before you were 30 life was brutal.
No one sane trusts media matters.
Fuirther no one trusts you – the left spins everything.
Mamdani could say “Kill all the jews” and you would spin that as neither anti-semetic or genocidal.
But if Trump says my Daughter converted to Judaism – you will claim that is proof he is anti-semetic.
No one said you claimed all democrats are anti-semetic – or even that those democrats that have would scale back US support of Israel are,
but the left is increasingly anti-semetic.
Of course as Hullbobby noted the left is absurdly self contradictory.
Places where Islam dominates are the most anti-gay, anti-women places int he world.
Are you aware that more african slaves were taken to the mideast than to the new world ?
But there are very few blacks in the mideast – why ? Because the mideastern slave trade was predominantly male and they were castrated before being tansported, and 1/3 of them died on their way to the mideast.
Even today – when I was a child most mideastern nations were only majority islamic – there were large numbers of jews and christians across the mideast.
Now there are very few islamic countries that are not 90% or more muslim. There are virtually no jews throughout the mideast and norther africa.
They have been killed or persecuted into leaving. The same with various christian sects. Coptic christians used to make up a significant portion of the mideast – now they are nearly extinct in the mideast.
While early christians were peaceful and persecuted – Christianity by the middle ages had developed an agressive spirit. But islam was born as a religion of war, while there today the majority of musims are peaceful – that convert or die attitude is present in islam everywhere. Europe went through more than 100 years and near extinction with religious wars. Europeans learned religious toleration the hard way as a requirement for survival – and that was a part of the birth of the enlightenment. And the Enlightenment was the ideological foundation for the United States.
Islam has had many great people and contributions – but it has not yet developed religious tolerance – not of non-muslims, and quite often not even of different sects of muslims.
Vuirtually All conflict in the mideast is religious. Nearly all of it is between different islamic sects – whether you look at Lebanon or Syrian or Iraq, or Iran or Yemen or most of North Africa – it is mostl;y muslims fighting muslims. Sometimes the big islamic split of Shia vs sunni but often smaller divisions.
Islam today is in the Early in the religious wars that lead in Europe to the enlightenment. But they still beleive that the path to heaven is to kill people who do not beleive as you – even other muslims.
Yet this is one of the major discriminated oppressed groups that Democrats fawn over.
The very worst of fundimentalist christians are less hostile to women, gays, trans, …. than millions of muslims.
The most racist vile people in this country that you hate do not come close to millions of muslims.
There are 2 Billion muslims in the world and most of them live in countries they dominate, countries that are close to if not actual theocracies. Muslims are not globally an oppressed minority any more than Christians are.
In the entire world there are not 17M jews. There are twice as many muslims in Saudi Arabia as there are jews in the world.
If, instead of calling the IRGC theocracy ‘crazy’, an address by the President, laying out the Eschatology of Shia Islam in plain text as the core of what the world needs to resist and prevent would finally put the cards on the table, and why a nuclear armageddon, to prepare the world for the coming of the 12th Iman is what they seek. Unfortunately, what usually follows such public utterances are accusations of Islamophobia, xenophobia, and racism by the domestic virtue signaling ‘psychofans’ of Islam who have yet to be enlightened as to its historical record of colonization, suppression, and oppression. The subsuming of cultures and nations to the teachings of their prophet. This lot will be the last to fall when there’s finally nobody left to protest. So it will be, as it has always been.
You are entirely correct, but I think all should recognize that Lebanon was a Christian nation when many of us were younger.
“The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.”-DJT
“The philosophical foundation of anti‑whiteness has been largely financed by Jewish donors.”–Charlie Kirk

“Republican Israel supporters suffer from a brain virus.” –Tucker Carlson
Very odd collection of quotes.
The average IQ of Ashkenazi Jews (about 80% of all jews) is a full std dev above the rest of the world.
Regardless – you left wing nuts seem to beleive that generalizations about race that are true are somehow racist.
Would you rant that nearly all Caucasians have white skin is racist ?
Is saying that blacks are on average atleast 1 std dev more capable in athletics than other races – racist ?
Carlson’s remark is false – but it is netiehr racist nor anti-semetic. There is a growing body of people in both parties that have weakening support for Israel.
When that turns into “from the river to the sea” then it becomes racist and genocide
Semites are the alleged descendants of Noahs son Shem – they include all mideasterns and most north africans While blacks descended from another sonHam and the last group Aryans descended from Jeph and somehow include everyone north and east of the mediteranian
Regardless anto-semitism is a bizare term – because arabs are semites.
And all of this presumes that you accept a 19th century German biblical derivation of race.
Regardless, generalizing that jews are smart is no different than generalizing that Blacks are athletic. As a generalization it is true
By religion jews have the highest income in the US – with the next closets religious group – Hindu’s 10% behind.
Far less than 1% of the people of the world are jewish – yet almost 12% of the worlds billionaires are jewish (remember IQ predicts success).
6 out of the ten wealthiest people in the world are jewish.
Yes wealthy jews disproportionately donate not just to democrats who increasingly hate them but to causes that are working towards destroying them.
Are you claiming that Nature is racist ? Are you claiming that reality is racist ?
Do we need to lobotomize all the jews and break the legs of all blacks to make everything equal ?
The FACT is we were NOT created equal – we are only equal in terms of our rights.
Is this the most offensive thing you can come up with from Nick Fuentes ?
I know very little about Fuentes except that those of you on the left hate him and that Unlike Carlson he has no consequential following on the right or anywhere.
But those of you on the left have painted him as the personification of racism. As the modern Jim Clark or Bull Connor – both democrats.
And this is the worst you can find ?
But then again your source is media matters.
All you seem to be doing is proving that republicans are far less racist that you claim
Enigma, so because people in the past have raised the severed heads of other people is the call today to do the same thing to be excused. The practice of scalping was used by Native American on other Native Americans and the white man.
I understand, it feels good to be a forever victim. Ive read a number of books by black men born in poverty who have made it in America because they said hell no and left the victimhood mentality behind. If excuses were nickels you’d be the richest man alive.
The “call today” for severed heard on a pike was as serious as “86-47”
photo of severed* herd on a pike
*severed=separated
https://media.tegna-media.com/assets/WNEP/images/b2d29d23-ea88-4a1a-98bb-70e1c9c34d97/b2d29d23-ea88-4a1a-98bb-70e1c9c34d97_1920x1080.jpg
p.s. looks like there are @87 on one side and @47 on the other.
(@ 86 on one side, @47 on the other)
Not exactly – but BOTH calls were by DEMOCRATS – and the heads on pike reference was democrats against other democrats.
Yawn…. The dem party is full of racist and total hate.
Have you met the Republican Party or Donald Trump? Find me a Trump speech since 2010 not full of hate.
LOL
Hate, is all you libs throw at him 7/24. He has every right to call you out.
So you can’t think of a Trump speech in the last 16 years that wasn’t full of hate, you just think he’s justified in being a hate monger.
The burden is on YOU. Link to the FULL text of an entire Trump speech that YOU think is filled with hate. Specify exactly what it is that you think is “full of hate” and then we can have a discussion.
I would further note you are like typical left wiong nuts making expansive vaguer claims.
I hate Pedos – is that hate speech ?
I hate communists ?
Where has Trump said I hate Black ? or I hate Jews
Policies that you do not like are not inherently hate.
You can not seem to distinguish between disagreement and hatred.
The war on drugs has proven to be one of the most racist of modern government actions – but mostly the left and right fell over each other to take the lead on draconian drug laws. One of the most racist drug laws ever passed was lead by none other than Joe Biden with the full support of the congressional black caucus.
There is probably no one here who would go farthert to legalize drugs than I would – the longest war in US history is the war on drugs and we lost long long long ago.
You can not and should not prevent people from doing stupid things to themselves.
But just because I oppose all US drug laws – does not mean that when drug deals kill people I am not going to prosecute.
Nor do people in the US illegally get a pass because they are selling drugs.
Communism and socialism are inarguably bad things that have failed in every way possible.
But I am not going to stop you from being a communist or deny you a job or preclude you from voting.
Somehow in left wing nut world saying that pedophilia is bad – is hate
that communism is bad
that socialism is bad
that illegal immigration is bad.
that crime is bad
Somehow in your world – that is all hateful.
“all that is necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to say nothing. ”
Hating evil is GOOD.
“There is probably no one here who would go farthert to legalize drugs than I would – the longest war in US history is the war on drugs and we lost long long long ago.
You can not and should not prevent people from doing stupid things to themselves.”
I could support that, but there is a prerequisite. That is to completely remove any and all governmental financial and political support (including subsidies, regulations, and tax breaks, among other things) for the pharmaceutical industry. You may claim that to be an unrelated issue, but I think both are intimately intertwined.
I do not want government to support ANYTHING.
No subsidies of anykind for anyone.
No regulations – criminal law takes care of actual crimes, and torts does a far better job of self regulating while protecting feedom.
Taxing anything but consumption is inefficient. All taxes are economically damaging, but consumption taxes are the least damaging.
I do not want business tax breaks – I do not want business taxes.
EB – you define hatre as anything you do not like.
You call securing the borders hate.
Enforcing the law hate.
How can we havce a rational discussion ?
Above you cited a list of examples of anti-semitism – none of which actually were.
Absolutely racism knows no political boundaries.
But there are patterns.
The worst racism in the US against both blacks and Jews was in the democratic south.
The south did not even start to turn red until the 70s, and it never became completely red.
Regardless, most of the republicans in the south today are not the heirs of past democrats – and even if they were, sane people do not hold children responsible for the sins of their parents.
I beleive Sunny Hostin discovered that she was genetically linked to southern plantation owners – and not through slaves. Does she owe reparations ?
All republicans are not pro-israel, nor are all democrats anti-israel. In the not to distant past support for israel was relatively evenly divided.
At the same time – support for Israel si not really the issue – you can have problems with Israel without being anti-semetic – though the two tend to go together.
Maybe you can be pro-hamas without being antisemtic – but I doubt it. Certainly if you are prohamas you are progenocide.
But we are talking about the present – not the past, not even the recent past.
Antisemitism is growing – and it is growing in the left – not the right.
Racism is also growing – on the left. You went to war with me over IQ – yet it was racist democrats in the past and racist left wing nut democrats in the present that engage in the “soft bigotry of low expectations ”
Absolutely today there are white prison gangs that are racist – about as racist as the black and hispanic gangs that they feud with.
Pretty sure that neither El Sayed or anyone else was alluding to things few people have ever heard of.
All successful politicians – including Bush. Obama, Trump Clinton, … tailor everything the say to between a 5th and 7th grade level.
They do not make obscure historical references – atleast not if they wish to get elected.
So here is a man running for office who wants to cut off the head of man and display it on a pike and to change the subject the Democratic Socialist/Communist posting on this forum make an error by this blog’s author the disaster of the day.
They say look over here because they think your stupid and you will fall for it. Sometimes it works with some people but most of the time it just eventually reveals the stupidity of the person employing the tactic. Psst, Anonymous you think your very clever but believe it or not we know what your doing
Hopefully he will be Hoist with his own petard.
The Entire Democrat Socialist Party are the Enemy of the People and the greatest threat to our Republic in history. Vote Red or our Republic is Dead

Abdul El-Sayed (Democratic Party) is running for election to the U.S. Senate to represent Michigan. He is on the ballot in the Democratic primary on August 4, 2026.

“Ideally, you put one ogre on a pike, and then everyone else gets the message.”
Come that day, beware those with physical force and intelligence.
“Come that day, beware those with physical force and intelligence.”
Shortly after the day that these clowns (or their brain-dead supporters) actually begin to put the heads of political opponents on pikes, or commit analogous multiple murders, with no effective legal consequences or remedy, they will see the streets run red, not only with the blood of those supporters, but with their own. That is the simple truth of the situation. That would be a tragic turn in the fortunes of our 250-year-old experiment, but far preferable to allowing their destruction of a Republic founded on individual Liberty to proceed unimpeded.
Luke, come over to the Dark Side.
This all reminds me of an old “joke”, which is not really a joke: “There are two kinds of Muslims, radicals and moderates. The radicals want to cut your head off. The moderates on the other hand, knly want the radicals to cut your head off.”
Jon…Letterman is pa senator and Christian. Do better
Destroy fascist democrats…..now
Much harder in the 1940s…that was nazis
We The People Must Stop the democrats from gaining any more power than they already have.
You often have minor typos I dismiss to rushing ideas out, but NJ and Jewish? Both wrong. Are you being lazy and letting AI write your stuff? Only reason I can think of for this major error unworthy of your substance. Stop it.
Sad to say, but I agree.
Anonymous, always inflating an error and avoiding the content. The good Professor admitted his error and made the proper correction. There has not been one time in all the thousands of your posts on this forum that you have made any corrections to your content. Gotcha kind of persons like you are fervently looking for the screw that has been lost with glasses that are as thick as coke bottles.
The DNC has sold its soul for power. The price? To accept money, violence, and hate.
It’s the pathetic lack of historical perspective that contributes to Sayed’s appeal to those who see him as a savior when, in reality, he and others of his ilk have moved into the west to conquer and subsume, thus fulfilling the Islamist goal of conversion and world domination.
We must stop this march at the ballot box while we still can. Once these people gain power it is going to require much more than a vote to remove them.
So, what’s new? Democrats have expressed the same attitudes for decades and now it’s an issue? The good side is that they have become louder and braver and more militant. How is that good? Because they will push too far, feeling immune to retaliation. Then they will experience the consequences of the rebound. And they will be astonished at the response they provoked. Their doctrines will be buried for a hundred years.
I reply to this as Anonymous not out of fear but sick of hundreds of account sign ups! Now, short but I totally agree with you. There are tens of thousands of men and women who mind their own business. They pay their taxes, some attend church, family centered, hard working and thankful for the freedoms that others paid for so all of us can enjoy. There will come a day when the bully as it always happens talks trash one to many times. Then you will hear untold thousands of mags slamming into rifles and pistols; all trash talk will end.
Democrats opened their tent, and looneylefties marched in and took over. I hope Sen Fetterman takes this threat seriously, and switches parties.
“I hope Sen Fetterman takes this threat seriously, and switches parties.”
A few years back, Joe Manchin seemed to be on the verge of doing that, but ultimately retired instead. I wonder if that was completely voluntary, and a matter of personal conviction, or whether there was some form of extortion involved.

Leftwing Fascists are the greatest threat to the American democratic republic in history. The intolerant Muslims have made a pact with the intolerant National Socialists to destroy Western Civilization, and the urinalists in the media cheer them on, or choose to simply ignore their violent rhetoric. Unless these threats to America are addressed clearly, forcefully and directly by top Democrats, they will continue to grow more powerful by the day. Sadly, Democrats are largely in agreement, like Cortez and Omar and Jayapal and Mamdani and Tlaib, or cowardly, like Schumer and Jeffries and Pelosi and Warner.
A matter of time until it goes to the field, it’s what they want. Give it to them.
There’s only one response to these anti-American radicals, it should be the last thing they ever hear.
“There’s only one response to these anti-American radicals, it should be the last thing they ever hear.”
Agree. I strongly suspect that Feminine hygiene reservoirs like the karpet koph in question will only ever understand one kind of response – when what they propose rhetorically is actually visited on them, physically and personally. For those who object to my characterization, I will happily rescind it when others who might feel impugned by it begin to vocally and publicly speak out against the actual offenders like Abdul El Sayed; not until that happens.
Impact normally precedes the report. They won’t hear it.
The sound could register as everything fades away, I dunno… I don’t have personal experience to draw on, and I’m not looking for any soon 😎
I’m guessing that no Democrat Senator or congress has spoken up against putting Fetterman on a pike nor will they remove their endorsement of this anti-Semitic Islamist. Why? Because this is what the Democrats have become.
Why should they. The DNC supports this.
Fetterman is from PA not NJ.
That is an easy mistake for AI to make.
Fetterman isn’t Jewish, is he?
No, he is not.
No, Sen. Fetterman is not Jewish; he’s a Christian.
