There was a curious moment this week when Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed expressed shock that people were asking him about a “streamer in California” as he campaigns for the Senate in Michigan. That streamer is, of course, Hasan Piker. Despite El-Sayed’s disbelief, the questions stemmed from the fact that he brought Piker from California to campaign with him in Michigan and embraced him despite condemnations of Piker’s virulent antisemitism and violent rhetoric. However, the problem goes far deeper, as El-Sayed distances himself from views he has previously voiced.
It turns out that there are consequences to campaigning with a man who mocked the murder of a past critic and said that the United States deserved 9/11 (including responding to criticism of Piker in the primary by embracing him on election night at a rally). El-Sayed is not the only Democrat trying to get the media to stop asking him about his association.
Standing in front of a giant campaign billboard for El-Sayed, Rep. Debbie Dingell (D., Mich.) shot back at those asking about his association with a raving lunatic: “I am DONE. So don’t any reporter ask me again about Hasan Piker.” What is distressing is how many reporters will dutifully obey the command.
Dingell added, “They’re trying to divide us, and we’ve got to stop letting them try to divide us.” However, it is not divisive for your Senate candidate to campaign with a raging antisemite who says that the United States deserved 9-11 and that Jews are asking to be attacked.
The problem for Dingell and others is not so easily resolved by commanding a supportive media to not ask about Piker, who recently said on his podcast that Jews are asking to be attacked if they openly support Israel.
The problem is that El-Sayed has voiced equally disturbing and analogous views. El-Sayed was criticized for his response after a man attacked a Michigan synagogue in March. After condemning the attack, El-Sayed added that the Israeli military killed some of the attacker’s family in Lebanon, saying “hurt people hurt people.”
It sounds a bit like Jews are asking to be attacked.
El-Sayed has also drawn criticism for declining repeatedly to answer whether Israel has a right to exist during a CNN interview in June.
Much like Piker, El-Sayed has also engaged in violent rhetoric, promising to “choke out” Republicans and referring to moderates like Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman (D) as ogres to have their heads cut off and put on pikes.
Refusing to answer questions about the association with Piker does not answer El-Sayed’s own views that align him with Piker.
Ironically, all the attention to Piker has drawn attention away from El-Sayed’s own views.
El-Sayed has extreme views that go beyond his position toward Israel and include wealth taxes, reparations, and radical changes to our constitutional system.
I grew up in a liberal, politically active Democratic family in Chicago. I no longer recognize that party today, including its anti-free-speech elements. Saying that you are a “Big Tent party” does not answer the question of whether the party stands for anything other than regaining power. There has to be some defining element to a party beyond power. El-Sayed is that defining moment.
The opinion says everything we need to know about politics. A politician says stupid things and brings a radical in to say stupid things and when it looks like it might be a problem then does not want to talk about it any more. Abdul El-Sayed needs to be run to the ground on his statements and choke on it if need be. This applies to all politicians saying stupid things on both sides of the aisle.
It’s easy to criticize them because this is ALL the left has left. Hasan Piker is the long-sought defacto leader of the Democrat Party and nothing can be done about it until it destroys the party. It won’t be long. America will never be a socialist country.
The reality is that articles like this only serve to distract the MAGA horde from Trump’s economy, the failing war with Iran, and the inevitable loss of congressional control.
Notice how there is hardly any talk about the Iran war on right-wing media. It is completely absent because the conflict is going terribly for Trump. Instead of the four-to-five-week victory he promised, we are now marking six painful months of an economic and military quagmire. The administration is facing a similar disaster on the trade front with the recent beef import fiasco. Trump’s plan to lower prices by flooding the market with low-grade beef trimmings has completely backfired, throwing American ranchers under the bus and sparking furious backlash from domestic cattle producers. To make matters worse, he is picking an unprovoked trade war with Canada—retaliating to broken talks by absurdly ordering Lake Ontario to be renamed “Lake America”—at the worst possible time for Republicans facing a brutal midterm election cycle.
By focusing on progressive figures like Abdul El-Sayed and Zohran Mamdani, conservative commentators try to brand them as “extremists”. In reality, these candidates are simply proposing sensible economic solutions that only look extreme when contrasted against the far-right fringes of today’s Republican Party.
Turley may yearn for a more recognizable Democratic Party, but he completely ignores the fact that Trump’s total takeover has stripped the GOP of any resemblance to the party of Ronald Reagan. The Democrats evolved precisely because the Republicans did. Expecting the modern left to act like the party of the Kennedy era is no longer a viable alternative when facing an overzealous, increasingly unhinged political opponent. New faces and bold values are making Democrats highly appealing in contrast to Trump’s erratic, expensive policies that are driving up the cost of living for everyone. Trump promised no new wars, lower grocery prices, better healthcare, and wealth for the working class. None of that has happened; conditions have only worsened, leaving Republicans with nothing to offer but tired excuses and attempts to blame the past administration.
This is exactly why leaders like El-Sayed and Mamdani are gaining rapid ground—because their platforms actually make sense within the mess of the Trump presidency.
The fact that Trump may be the worst president in the history of this country can be and is 100% separate from the fact that the DNC and everything it stands for can be as bad as Trump and even worse in some areas. The fact that the DNC wants to eliminate the US border is a good example.
Who is saying the border should be eliminated? You do know there’s rhetoric and reality. Oftentimes rhetoric is just that. Rhetoric. Trump wants Canada to be the 51st state. Does that mean it’s realistic or just rhetoric?
It means Canada is stupid. They could be shipping oil at lesser prices worldwide as they have the biggest oil supply worldwide and were next door. They’re idiots.
X – you know who people are by what they DO.
Do you want no border ? I have no idea.
But you do not want meaningful borders.
You have shown that by your ACTS and the ACTS of those you support.
There is Rhetoric and Reality – and the Reality that YOU attempt to create is h311ish.
Regardless of your rhetoric.
To the extent I judge Trump by his words, it is because he ACTS to try and keep them.
I Judge YOU and the left not primarily by your words – though you lie constantly,
But by what you actually do and its consequences.
DJT is most likely the greatest president. The forces he opposes are surreal.
The only force Trump opposes is gravity, and he’s not doing so well with that.
The reality is you are a TDS suffering fool that can’t stick to a given subject, but can only whine about Trump. Try to face that reality and you might just recover from your TDS.
TDS? That’s it? I would have thought you would be smarter than that.
You’ve worn out that tactic months ago, little g.
X, he is smarter than that. He doesn’t have TDS but you do and i can prove it.
TDS is being blinded by Trump into a delusional perception of reality.
That is a perfect desctiption of you and your posts.
You do not live in reality.
The war with Iran has ended in victory. Gasoline is less than $2 a gallon. Beef has never been cheaper. Chocolate rations are increased again. The war with Eurasia has ended!
TDS? This Donald Sucks?
It is easy to blame Trump. However, the far left rise started long before Trump. The Democrats are going through what the Republicans went through 20 years ago with the Neocons. It is a cycle. The only group you can blame is the Democrats themselves. They allowed this insurgency. Why did the Trump Administration arise? The people were fed up with both the Democrats and the Republican leaders. He did not rise within a vacuum. Want to know why he is President right now? The Democrats cleared the deck for a man clearly losing his competency instead of running a proper primary. Biden gets exposed and what are the Democrat voters left with, a candidate nobody likes, which cost the election. Why are the Socialist gaining ground right now? Because there are no strong Democrat leaders right now and the bench is weak. Fear not, this too shall pass. Blaming Trump is easy, but not correct.
Blaming Trump is easy because he is the one failing, not succeeding. While his populist message was appealing and attractive in the beginning, that charm is rapidly waning. Today, his platform looks more and more like a scam. That is exactly why his poll numbers are in the toilet, and he is dragging down-ballot Republicans across the country right along with him.
Joe Biden is no longer the issue; Trump is. Rising leaders like Abdul El-Sayed and Zohran Mamdani are becoming increasingly attractive to the electorate because they are employing a strategy Trump once used effectively: listening to voters and delivering on their promises. Trump, by contrast, is caught in a cycle of constant lying and broken promises, and even elements of his core MAGA base are starting to notice.This is no longer about the previous administration. Trump is actively making things worse for everyday Americans, spending money like crazy on vanity pet projects that resemble the behavior of a tin-pot dictator.
The right-wing media ecosystem is doing everything it can to avoid topics related to Trump’s actual performance. That is precisely why the war with Iran is completely absent from their broadcasts. He is losing it. None of the military or geopolitical objectives have been achieved, and the conflict has dragged on for six months despite initial promises that it would be over in a matter of weeks.
Jonathan Turley and conservative commentators are intentionally fixating on progressive candidates because those candidates are successfully appealing to voters who are exhausted by Trump’s incompetence. What truly terrifies Trump Republicans is the simple fact that this new progressive message is working.
Trump is suceeding in everything he is doing. Not one word of yours is true and you can’t cope with the new age of Republican dominance over US policy and world influence. You just cannot live in our new world because of your TDS. It’s what drives you here daily. Me? So proud of Trumps sucesses I love to crow about it to all you leftys losing it. Try and stay calm X. screech now.
Trump rose because billionaires have paid millionaires to convince the middle and lower class to be minions for the oligarchs.
Murdoch owns multiple outlets that have, since the Reagan administration, played a nearly continuous pack of lies sold as news to tell the people that the oligarchs have robbed that the real villains are the poor and the immigrants.
A few billionaires invested a billion dollars into false advertising to get Trump re-elected; money Trump returned to them in the form of government contracts and tax breaks. The Republicans are truly stupid people.
Socialism doesn’t work. It never has and never will except of course for those at the top. The difference between capitalism and socialism is that under socialism even the folks in the middle are miserable. The rich will still be on top but those in tge middle will be lowered. No one will have their economic position improved. The law of supply demand and competition is as powerful as the law of gravity.
You don’t know what socialism is. Most Republicans can’t tell the difference or know the distinctions. You treat socialism, communism, Marxism, and whatever ‘ism’ of the day applies as one and the same. It speaks of the poor education and ignorance.
Republicans are afraid that socialists will be seen as a better option than what Trump is offering and Trump is making it much easier for them. Because he is failing and making things far worse. All you have left is “blaming the left and TDS”.
X, You know what socialism is but you are not allowed to explain it here. In fact you never provide a level of detail above ‘orange man bad’ or JT or MAGA. Your favorite attack is to claim you’re just smarter than everybody. Your ego reveals your character. You are Insincere or you would have actually made a real point with real facts. In fact you get the prize for the most insincere lefty of them all. And if there’s one motto this comment section has, it’s “everyone knows X has TDS”. I wanted you to know it’s revealed in your insincerity. reread your comments but I bet you are blind to it.
Look! A squirrel!
Trump is winning the war in Iran. You know it too.
How? He has not achieved a single thing he set out to “win”.
He’s no longer trying to stop Iran from ‘having a nuclear weapon’ he can’t get any traction on negotiations because the Iranians know Trump is a moron. We LOST all our bases in the region. That’s why the Lincoln couldn’t resupply. Because the resupply base was destroyed.
“X” serves to distract us from the trainwreck of the prior administration, the detritus of which this nation has yet to clear from its tracks. First and foremost, an open-border policy which has wreaked untold pain and heartache upon the unsuspecting, perhaps even those who supported the idea. It had come back to bite them mercilessly. This and the mental incompetent it was obliged to cast aside in favor of the blithering idiot, chosen by the aforementioned as qualified by virtue of complexion and gender, to assume the presidency should he fail. The campaign record of the latter was so dismal that she was forced to suspend it and withdraw. No one wanted her then, she was forced upon the electorate four years hence, and she was rejected. Now ‘X’ would like us to trust that there is an answer to all of the travails listed in ‘its’ narrative and it will be provided by an overwhelming rejection of the current office holders. Given the consequences of the disaster of the past which they foisted upon the citizenry, and the rent and tear the cause to the socio-economic and political fabric of this nation, There is nothing to suggest that they will provide the answers and the solutions going forward. We know what we had. We know what we have. The devil already took the hindmost. Leave sleeping dogs lie where they may.

The war was over months ago. Iran lost.
Lee Surrendered at Appomatox on April 9, 1865
The last confederate forces did not surrender until November
1.25M bbl of oil passed through the straits today – that is increasing every day.
It is almost twice what passed through yesterday.
The conflict with Iran has not lasted as long as it took to go from Lees surrender until the actual end of the war.
The Economy is doing Fine.
Every single midterm in the past 75 years has resulted in the party in power losing it.
There is a reasonable chance the GOP might hold both chambers after the election.
That would be a damning repudiation of democrats
he reality is that articles like this only serve to distract the MAGA horde from Trump’s economy, the failing war with Iran, and the inevitable loss of congressional control.
For Democrats to actually have a good midterm they must win 55 seats in the senate and atleast 235 in the house.
There is not a snow balls chance of that
“Notice how there is hardly any talk about the Iran war on right-wing media. ”
There is little talk in ANY media. The war is effectively over and most people know that and do not care about the nonsense you do
The media is also NOT reporting on ICE even though deportations are continuing at a very high rate.
the media is reporting things people care about. They do not care about your ICE nonsense, and they do not care about Iran
There is no Quagmire. Iran is in Worse shape than the South after Lees surrender
But like the south – it will be a while before the last die hards in the IRGC give up.
Iran is suffering from hyper inflation. They are losing 400m per day
US inflation continues to drop- though slower than hoped.
REgardless, Bidenflation is over.
Jobs gains under Biden were mostly illegal immigrants.
Yet we are replacing the jobs of the approx. 80,000 deported each month, and the 100,000 who self deport
And the 35,000/month fo Federal Employment reduction and STILL we have a net gain in job seach month
Peopleare focusing on Sayed -because YOU nominateed him
And Mamdani – because you elected him.
Absolutely about between 40% and 50%of democrats are ecstatic about the gains of the DSA.
But 70-90% of independents are terrified.
That is a problem of YOUR OWN MAKING
But absolutely republicans are going to capitalize on it.
And no they arenotproposing sensible economic solutions.
They are proposing NONSENSE that has failed everytime it has been tried -often in blood.
And YES They/YOU look extreme.
Trumps actual promises are in Agenda 47 – which YOU constantly told us was Project 2025.
Regardless – you were lying then- and you are lying now.
No DEmocrats are NOT rapidly gaining ground.
They are desparate and in a bad place for August
Given the current polls the normal gains of Republicans as elections approach will result in democrats LOOSING the house and senate.
But it is very hard to trust polls right now as we have seen 10-20pt polling errors in more than 1/3 of primaries.
This is HIGHLY unusual -but MOSTLY it is far left candidates who have UNDERPERFORMED
The war is not going that badly. The US Navy is getting more ships through the Strait every day. Trump’s strategy has shifted to slowly strangling Iran. It will take years to pay off, but so be it. If we can’t win quickly, strangle them slowly. Success will depend on Trump’s successor being R, but it is what it is.
All of this because Trump doesn’t want to go to prison for what he did to underage girls with Epstein. He remains safe only as long as he remains President.

Professor Turley is once again carrying water for a bad-faith smear campaign, relying on over-exaggerated claims entirely robbed of context.
The truth of the matter is that normal voters aren’t thinking about Hasan Piker. The right wing, however, is obsessed with him because they desperately need a proxy to hang around Abdul El-Sayed’s neck. The only reason El-Sayed is facing this sudden onslaught of scrutiny is because he is locked in a neck-and-neck, highly competitive Senate race, and Democrats have a habit of over-performing in these exact types of matchups.
What truly terrifies the right is that El-Sayed’s momentum follows the undeniable success and popularity of figures like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. We have watched Turley and conservative media repeatedly try to weaponize the DSA and “scary socialism” labels against these campaigns, only to be proven wrong when voters see their actual platforms. El-Sayed channels that exact same populist energy, proving that this style of governing is laser-focused on what working people care about most: affordability, healthcare, and economic relief. That is exactly where Republicans are failing, and it’s where Donald Trump’s policies threaten to make things worse.
Turley frames El-Sayed’s “hurt people hurt people” comment as a defense of antisemitic violence. In reality, El-Sayed explicitly and unequivocally condemned the attack first. Acknowledging the psychological cycle of trauma is a standard sociological observation, not a justification for a crime.
Turley takes standard, aggressive political metaphors like “choking out” the Republican platform and turns them into literal threats of violence. It is a laughably literal, bad-faith interpretation of routine campaign trail rhetoric.
Ultimately, Turley isn’t offering legal or political analysis here. He is simply contributing to a coordinated right-wing pile-on designed to manufacture outrage, exploit identity politics, and spook moderate voters who might otherwise be drawn to an economy focused on working-class families.
nope. what a bizarre view you have. No basis in reality.
Regarding Jews…, how, exactly, does Abdulrahman Mohammad El-Sayed differ from, say, Goebbels, Himmler or even the guy with the goofy mustache? I’ll wait.
Goebbels, Hitler etc actually had an IQ? These punks were brought in here to beat up Americans. Either leave here or start beating the hell out of them. People just take the beatings. Muuuh free speech. Brain dead females in congress and courts like Collins and Murkowski and Barrett…
IQ, obviously more than yours. They ruled Europe and all you can do is make stupid comments.
The Muslims? Murderers? 😂 The biggest losers.
Everyone who comments here is Estovir, because the blog only allows Estovir to comment. I’m Estovir. I’m also the one that keeps pointing out everyone else is Estovir.

“I grew up in a liberal, politically active Democratic family in Chicago. I no longer recognize that party today, including its anti-free-speech elements.” Then why stay in that Party when it no longer represents your values, Professor?
The ascendancy of DSA candidates like Abdul El-Sayed is temporary. Every other summer, unusual candidates emerge from the ground like cicadas and make a lot of noise before the electorate decides whom to vote for. The latter process typically begins after Labor Day and intensifies until Election Day. Like cicadas facing the oncoming frost of November, most of the weirdoes like El-Sayed will have ended their season and returned underground, while the legitimate candidates prevail.
As good Republicans and Conservatives, I believe we have a moral responsibility to help preserve the Democrat Party in this hour of need. Most of us, well, at least many of us, grew up when politics was like a tennis match with Republicans on one side of the court and Democrats on the other. We both played the same game, followed the same rules, and cheered for our side. If we lost, we shook hands with each other and wished for better the next time.
It’s exciting to think that Republicans likely will dominate the next several election cycles as the Democrats implode. But that could be dangerous because our system is based on the theory that the party that’s out keeps a close eye on the party that’s in. If there’s only one party, it could spell trouble. This year’s election could mark the rebirth of a robust and patriotic Democrat party. Or it could be the end of the Democrat Party and the beginning of a long period of chaos by those obsessed with destroying the nation to reshape it in their evil images.
As we get closer to Election Day, the lines between normal Democrats and crazy Democrats (i.e., DSA types) will become sharper. Those Democrats like Schumer and Jeffries who have sold their souls to remain in power will surely fall, but when they do, it will not open the way for the DSA folks; instead, it will be an opportunity, perhaps the last one, for patriotic Democrats to reclaim the best in that party. Let’s hope.
“Patriotic Democrat” is something of an oxymoron. Ever since TDS morphed into ADS-America Derangement Syndrome.
The party you want to save has been advocating openly to pack SCOTUS, and make DC & Puerto Rico states to add reliably Dem. seats in the House and Senate. Their stated goal is to effectively create a permanent one party rule. They have advocated for violence against the opposition. This is all before the DSA became a visible element in the party. There’s not a lot of difference between the Dems and the DSA. This is a party not worth saving. I value the 2 party system but I want the opposition to at least stand for the USA and its founding principles.
The Affluent White Female Liberal, consumed with a blinding hatred of anything Trump combined with their absolute stupidity, will trade their incredible freedoms for genuine oppression and male patriarchy electing Muhammad El-Sayed Obama as US Senator.
Sharia law forbids abortion, requires women’s subjugation to every man, orders young girls to be forceably removed of their genitalia and girls as young as 9 years old to be non-consentually married to men well in their old age.

A curious aspect of your article today is that hardy more than a generation ago, it wouldn’t have been written. People would have automatically rejected his duplicitous rhetoric. He would have been toast. But today, with lies reversed and slightly sanitized, he remains a viable contender. Those in the “Big Tent Party” (a new name?) automatically change their views on the fly. This is toast with a load of jelly piled on.
What’s that old expression? “Ask me no questions, and I’ll tell you no lies.”
You can put lipstick on a pig, but it still isn’t kosher.
Regarding Frof. Turley’s image of the Democrat Party: it seems that he was born too late to recall the southern Democrat segregationist block of Representatives and Senators and their “solid South”. I remember them and their “solid South” quite well. I also remember my father describing how in the early years of the 20th Century and into the mid-1920’s and beyond that same party embraced the KKK and U.S. Senators like “Cotton” Ed Smith and Governors like “Pitchfork” Ben Tillman.
There are those who think and believe God gave Israel to the Jewish people long ago. It’s been taken by this group or that. Nothing actually changes the fact God gave Israel to the Jewish people.
It’s a race to the bottom as professor Turley has pointed out. Most of politics is nonsense and the remainder is common crime of thievery and murder.
Fatigue
I’m not sure what your introductory comment has to do with anything written here…What has the Republican nominee said or done that matches the depths of the Democrat’s nominee?
I am hoping, hoping, hoping that Professor Turley’s last paragraph indicates he is finally deciding to abandon the Democrat party that abandoned him.
It shouldn’t be possible for the man who wrote the great book Rage and the Republic to be a member of the rage party.
Rage party? You mean this blog on which you spew hate and rage at Democrats, DSA, liberals and communists?
Abandon? Why should he? And what would it prove? Don’t bother answering, anything you write is ….
Anonymous, the term “let him speak” comes to mind when we see your constant juvenile rants, your attempts to sabotage this site and your proof that our education system is a disaster.
Hey Anonymous, serious question, how old are you? I will happily admit to being a senior citizen but I would love to know what age someone with your propensity for nastiness, your constant commenting with the most inane replies really is. I am guessing that you are an underemployed, 20-30 year old with a huge student loan outstanding, no house, no apartment, no girl friend, no car and not even a license.
Your comemnt perfectly describes you.
Rants, sabotage, proof, nastiness, constant commenting (is that a new kind crime eh?) inane … whew… then the ad hominid twist. Typical for troglodyte.

Hey hullbobby here’s your peanut gallery.
Thanks DrZee, it is just that I am so tired of seeing this juvenile try to sabotage this site through a comments section’s version of a Heckler’s Veto. It’s just a shame. But it is indicative of today’s youth, today’s education system and today’s lack of decorum.
I recently watched a debate at Oxford from about a year ago and the president of the Oxford Union was debating the great Douglas Murray with the “president” wearing beat up clothes, dreadlocks and a total lack of decorum while Murray was wearing a suit, was neatly coifed and was using “the King’s English” while crushing the “president”. All I could think about was imagine prior Oxford Union Presidents watching this microcosm of the fall of Britain and how sad it is.
We have gone from Churchill and William F. Buckley levels of discourse to unlearned spoiled brats like Anonymous.

Disagreement, pointing out the rage of others, is not more rage – unless it is – and Turley is not just raging. He has examples, historical references, evidence in their own words.
Membership in a political party is a relic of the 20th century. They are obsolete, used for ideological expediency and fundraising. Thinking people switch parties like changing socks.
“There has to be some defining element to a party…”, how about ‘power to the people’?
Anonymous,
“Power to the people”? Yes. And please remember this. We the People elected President Donald J. Trump twice … the second time with a majority of the Popular Vote and the Electoral Vote. So you have the President who you want.
We the people? The 70 million would voted for him, and what about the other 70 million who did not, they are “we the people” too?
So its about power, forcing others to your will?
My conclusion, you’re no different than the liberals in your quest for power and control.
Did we vote for him or against Harris? Sadly the leaders of both party’s believe nothing other than “I believe I should be elected”. It will be interesting to see whose heads end up on a pike. Watch the movie “Mars Attacks” to see the solution to our politician problem.
The most important fact is being overlooked. Influential voices in America’s largest political party have succeeded in changing America. America used to be a nation where bias-based-on-skin-color and Jew-hatred were not debatable … they were odious. Now America is a nation where they are debatable. May God bless America.
Your God has abandoned America.
And the godless have taken over.
Not quite taken over, just racing to do so. If there are (and I have my doubts) enough educated, non-indoctrinated, sane people to push back against us I see us heading to what Ireland is experiencing now. Americans who have known true liberty are not the same as the previous Russian serf, the cowered Chinese peasant or the ignorant of such small nations a N Korea, Venezuela, Cuba etc. who only saw the latest communist push as just a question of “what could be worse than what I have now”. It will not be a matter of just convincing the proletariat that things will be better. Rational and literate Americans who remember the good past and can see where communism leads will not swallow the spew of the likes of mamdani. Our largest threat comes for indoctrinated college students, elitist whites suffering suicidal empathy, and the demographic shift of unfettered illegals and islamists.
Educating, as in college degrees, people is not key to taking back you country.
Teaching children is, I think is what you mean. Start there, work on them for 18 years and you get a good citizen?
Sadly, the education industry has a monopoly on kids brains.
You republicans need a strategy. And I haven’t seen one … yet?
It’s the opposite. America abandoned its God & now it’s paying the price!
Stephen: Excellent point. I, too, find myself wondering when did it become okay to be an open bigot. Putting aside the fanatical craziness of El-Sayad and Piker, even a “regular” college student at Cornell thinks that it is perfectly normal to announce to the world that he doesn’t want to work for a Jew.
What a place.
🤔 bout 3 years left. Don’t waste them kids!
Gosh, we found out there’s still racism. Brilliant!
it became ok when the left’s standard divisive tactics stoped working and everyone saw through them. Just like the deep state, they are transparent now, we can see right through them. They failed to properly hide their hidden agenda so they are just doubling down on the whole commie plan all at once. It will be Trump’s world after November. Then we get to find out the real scope of our commie problem same as we did with the illegals problem.
